Gardens Will Help

Despite the irritation caused by ration
ing 'the boys who know their figures" in
Washington report to the press that the
average amount of food eaten by every
individual in the United States at the pres
ent time is IL percent more than before the
war, including more meat.
And if there are as many people in pro-
portion to their population who are put
ting in home gardens as there are in the
District of Columbia there will be an
abundance of edibles when it is time to
harvest the crops this Fall. In the mean
time millions Of people are starving. 1t is
famine that demands our attention today.
Millions of hungry people in Europe, in
India and in China look to us for deliver
ance.
The immediate task ahead of every
American is to cooperate with the Presi-
dents Famine Emergency Committee. One
person who saves slice of bread meal
may not be able to see just how that saw
ing will help feed people in Europe. But
the Famine Emergency Committee gives
assurance that such savings, multiplied in
millions of American homes each day will
most certainly enable this country to load
the ships with more of the food that is
needed to prevent famine overseas.

Better To Work!

With our industries, construction COM
panies and farmers crying for more help,
we are surprised that SO many of our re-
turned service men are loafing and are
drawing what is unfortunately being called
''rocking chair" pay.
Realizing the grave mistake that was
made after the first World War, this news
paper urged the passage of the CT Bill of
Rights that provided maximum benefits
for service men.
This bill provides assistance to the vet
Grams in completing their education, in en-
tering business or farming, in construction
of homes, in obtaining on-the-job training
and gives them protection against unem-
ployment
1t is not the intention of this measure
however, nor of the American people, to
promote and encourage idleness on the part
Of able-bodied men who were called into
military service, and we are disappointed
county, as well as throughout the nation
are taking advantage of an appreciative
country and citizenship by loafing when
their services are needed in the reconver-
sion program just as badly as they were
during the war;
Here in Pennsylvania, all over the ma
ton and throughout the world more food
is needed, more products are urgently in
demand, more houses are needed To sup
ply this demand and these grave needs,
labor is vitality important and essential
Today jobs are plentiful and the pay is
good. Today the opportunities for young
men to find gainful employment are the
best they have ever been. Today young
men have unparalleled opportunities to
complete educations and to learn trades
that will enable them to become useful,
independent American citizens, and yet
many of the boys prefer to loaf and to &C
cept this rocking chair" pay of $4,000 per
week.
This is a serious mistake both for our
community and nation, as well as for the
boys themselves. 1t is contrary to the in
tent of the law that was passed. Its OBJ
jective was to tide the boys over after they
came home until they could find suitable
employment and then to give them cush-
ION for the next five or more years against
unemployment.
Each veteran has $1,O4O allotted to him
for service allowance pay and the money
can be drawn out any time within five
years after the President has declared that
the war emergency is over.
The able-bodied veteran who does not
want to work and who is content to draw
this money at time like this when jobs
are plentiful and pay is good is making
grave mistake. Sooner or later this pay will
run out and then those veterans will have
to go to work and they will find it more
difficult to get good jobs. Employers are
not looking for men and women who pre-
fer to accept rocking chair" money.
Think it over, boys, and resolve now
that you are going to stop applying for this
money and get yourselves a job and 60 to
work. You'll be lot happier. You'll be
better American citizens and you'll be
serving your community and nation in time
of peace, just as nobly as you have served
during time of Wharf.-The Pennsylvania
Times.

Farming Notes
By II. D. Quessenberry
ATTENTION SHEEP MEN

It is about sheep shearing time
wool outlook is about the same
as last year-since wool prices
are still supported. Notice. Plans
are being made. for county wool
pool again this year.
Important. We recommend that
you tie the Individual fleeces this
year with paper Irvine. This
Irvine will be available at County
Agents Office, cost of approx
mate1y Csc per 1b. One pound
will tie an average of 40 fleeces.
Since wool prices are supported
and the county pool may be sold
through United Wool Growers
Association, our wool should be
tied with paper twine-NOt any
other kind of string. Wool not
tied is locked &c per pound, and
wool tied with binder Irvine or
other string, 10c per pound. We
have been selling to Chatham
Manufacturing Company, Elkin,
and not being necessary to tie
the wool, but have been unable
to secure conformation from
Chatham Mfg. Co., that they can
use the pool this year as they
have no Government contracts at
present.
Notice. We recommend that
you plan to drench your sheep
at shearing time with phenothia-
zine for stomach worms-direc-
tons on containers. Then place
phenothiazine salt mixture in
pasture covered container). In
ternal parasites do great damage
to our sheep.
LADINO CLOVER
The agent would like to rec
ommend that all Ashe county
farmers try some Ladino clover
on their farms. This is new
type clover found in Italy. Close
ly related to white dutch clover
but about five times as large.
This clover contains more pro-
tein than any other grass known.
This is very important to in
crease the food value of our pas
lures and hays.
This clover is especially adapt
ed to grazing and mowing-re-
covers from moving or grazing
quicker than any other Legume
The Biltmore diaries, Asheville,
have about 100 acres in pastures
seeded with this clover. It is
doing fine and they are feeding
less concentrates. I saw some
seeded on Rush Thompson's farm
near Glade Valley, in Allegheny
county, and he is we'll pleased
with the results.
Recommended seeding prac-
tice in new seeding is 3 pounds
Ladino and Is pounds Orchard
grass ("Dog Foot'') per acre,
seed in spring or fall, or 3 pounds
per acre seeded on pasture,
should be worked in soil some,
but danger of getting seed too
deep. Or rather to press seed in
or a ''brush" drag puts them in
deep enough. The land should
have been lined or phosphated.
Lime requirements not as heavy
as phosphate.

Veterans Reducing Amount Of Insurance

About 56.7 per cent of the Ma tional Service Life Insurance that Alaska veterans carried while in service has been allowed to lapse, according to survey made by the Veterans Administration.
 For about a month, VA contact representatives have been ques- ,ioning all veterans who came in jo inquire about insurance in an effort to ascertain what they are ioing about reinstatement and conversion. Up to Nov. 9, some 792 Ilterans in the Territory had been queried.
 It was found that about l3.3 per cent of the insurance which had lapsed since veterans left the service has been reinstead. Many veterans, however, have reduced the amount of insurance they are carrying. The average policy holder contacted in the survey carried S9649 while in service, compared with $7574 now. The average veteran who has convert ed his policy to a permanent form only carries S4683 of insurance.

 The First Marine Division was instructed three months ago to prepare for withdrawal, but since then these plans have been re- viSed twice.

 The injured men, all military personnel whose names were with held, were trapped in the crum- pied nose section of the plane for four hours following the accident late Friday night before reScuers could free them.
 The plane developed engine trouble on takeoff from the Ladd Field base and smashed into metal hangar after a forced land ing from a few feet off the ground.
 The rescuers were forced to work with hand tools because of large quantities of gasoline spilled around the ground. Large blower heaters provided some relief from the cold and doctors passed the trapped men drugs which they ad- miniStered themselves while wait ing 10 be extricated.

Give To The Clothing
Drive

The price of mans life may be hang
ing in your closet In chest in your attic
may lie the decision as to whether a child
shall live or die. The future of millions of
men, women and children is for sale :.
and the price of that future is one we can
so easily afford to pay.
These are the people who, with their
lives and homes, brought us the days and
months and years of time we had to have
to win the war. Now we can buy them the
days and months and years of time they
have to have to win the peace.
Does it seem fantastic that your old
clothes, spare clothes, cast-off shoes, blan-
kets, can be factor in rebuilding this
chaotic world? Think it over Farmers
cannot work the land without adequate
clothing to protect them from the weather;
children cannot attend school without
warm clothing; women cannot 60 about the
tasks of marketing without sufficient
clothing to withstand long hours in ration
lines; babies cannot grow strong without
clothing to shield their frail, undernour-
ished little bodies from disease; the sick,
the sufferers from pneumonia, malaria,
scabies, the many illnesses caused by ex-
posure and malnutrition, cannot hope to
recover their strength without clothing,
shoes and bedding Cities cannot be re-
built, factories cannot produce again, civil
cation cannot be reborn unless those who
must do the work, have the clothing to give
them the warmth of courage and hope
Together with our allies, the uninvaded
countries of Canada, Australia and New
Zealand, we have contributed millions of
pounds of clothing, sufficient to aid more
than 25,OO0,00s victims of war overseas.
We must do more, we must not forget 9TH
er millions in most dire need. From Hol-
land, Norway, Greece, Poland, China, the
Philippines, Italy, Czechoslovakia, France

A Living Memorial

More striking than any monument that
may be erected to the memory of Franklin
D. Roosevelt is the organized fight against
infantile paralysis which he inaugurated,
personally symbolized in his lifetime, and
unified by founding the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis.
The battle which he relinquished at his
death was bequeathed to the American
public which SO generously, during the
past Is years, supported the war against
the Great Crippler.
When the war against infantile paraly-
sis is finally won and the disease wiped out,
history will record the name of Franklin
D. Roosevelt at the top of the list Of those
responsible.
We can help bring that victory nearer
Every American has the opportunity to
join the March of Dimes. Dime by dime,
we are building living monument to one
of the greatest humanitarians of all time,
and speeding the conquest of that insidious
disease infantile paralysis.

Working Together

Addressing the United Nations Organi-
cation meeting in London, DR.. Eduardo
Zuleta Angel, of Colombia, spoke of his
hope that the assembly might become "the
town meeting of the world" @
That seemed to hit home. For we have
long felt that if nations could learn to get
along together like people in small towns
Quitting up with each others faults,
recognizing each others virtues, and liv-
ing close together in peaceful and friendly
fashion-the idea of war might be erased
from the imagination of mankind.
In this case the neighbors are the coun-
tries of the woodland the problems in
volve issues such as the atomic bomb-but
that is merely matter of proportion. The
aims of peace and progress can readily be
compared with meetings we might have in
our town to decide how to improve our
schools and how to enlarge our police force.
