new meeting will be held April 9

Now is the time for all good
men-and, for that MATERIAL
good women and children to begin
thinking about a home vegetable
garden. Planting time is just
around the corner.
During the war Victory" gar
dens made q tremendous cOntribu-
ton to the Nations larder. Many
an individual who had never be-
fore as much as planted peach
pit, was moved by the patriotic
zeal to engage in backyard farm
ing. School kids even ploWed up
their Fairgrounds to do their bit
for victory.
The ending of the war has not
lessened the need for homegrown
food, as many may have supposed.
True, well grow a lot Of food on
our farms this year-probably
more than we've ever raised. And
we'll probably have more families
able to pay for the things they like
to eat. But taking the world as a
whole, food is to be in short sup
ply. Many people will 60 hungry
-starvingly so. BY growing home
garden, we add to the nations total
food supply, and thus make it pos
sible to share our abundance with
the unfortunates abroad.
Sharing with others will not
mean privation to us. We will
share, not to fatten other coun-
tries, but to help prevent starva-
ton, disease and death. AS Presi-
dent Truman said, this is matter
of human decency.
No program that reached "cam-
paign" proportions during the war
did more for nutrition than gar
dening. Families came to like vege-
tables they had formerly by-passed
just because they grew them them
selves. Then, too, they enjoyed
their produce "garden-fresh." But
the nutritional benefits were only
part of the story. Neighbors got to
know each other better as they
worked hteir plots and exchanged
the latest gardening dope over the
back fence. They also found that
the exercise and fresh air Incl
dental to gardening paid off in bet
ter health. The assets, then,
whether spelled out in so many
words or consciously recognized,
added up to outdoor exercise, bet
ter nutrition and greater neighbor-
liness.
So get ready to blueprint this
years garden, and while you're
at it, plan also to "put-up" sup
ply of food for the winter larder.
Every home or. school garden |
should be planned with the def. |
mite idea of food preservation in |
mind. Schools can use the canned
foods in their school lunch pro-
gram.
Take down the shovel and the
hoe, and get ready for a season of |
work and fun-and reap a harvest |
Of good eatin' later.

Needle work fashions change
inst as do dress fashions or home
furnishings. Some Of the styles
and types of needlework famed
today by qualified judges at up
to-date fairs are: first, simplicity,
in q cut work pillow case a sim
pie bow knot or small blossom
design would be placed ahead of
an elaborate design-worlkman-
ship being equal. A wide drawn
work border with an elaborate
satin stitch embroidery is often
found on luncheon sets. They
may receive admiration but no
reward, because, either one or the
other would be best used alone.
Don't make the mistake of
thinking because you bought it
already stamped that the piece of
necessity must be in good taste.
You can often leave part of a de-
sign off and have q better pat
tern.
Be sure the type of work and
the design chosen are in keeping
with the use for which the finish
ed work is intended. Elaboraye
designs on tea towels is an ex-
travagant use of time-judges do
not encourage waste of time.
Tedious stitchery and hand
made adges should not be used
on poor grade of materials.
Color is important. Remember
bed room furnishings should be
in delicate tones. If you are
tempted to put a deep rose on
your pillow cases choose a deli
cate. pink or better still make the
edge all white.
IF you have used flour sacks
do not put an elaborate crocheted
lace edge on it. Use simple de-
signs. All articles for exhibit
should be cleaned and well press
ed.

IF each American family could
save Just one slice of bread a day
it would mean a daily national

This would mean we could ship

Pockets may be practical as
well as decorative. House dresses,
aprons, play suits and garden OF
work clothes will be more con-
venient and satisfactory il peck
cts are made useful.
On the skirt, pockets should be
placed where the hands Slip In
naturally without fumbling for
the opening. Many pockets on
readymade dresses and patterns
are too high. Because arms diff
fer in length, the location Of the
pocket needs to be tried out be-
fore final stitching is done. A
patch pocket is more accessible
to the hand If the top is Slanted
down toward the side rather than
cut straight across. If you want
to make them less conspicuous,
slant up back. Slanted pockets
placed comfortably low on skirts
are not only more convenient but
also safer because they are less
likely to catch in. handles and
doorknobs.
The primary purpose of a pock-
ct is to hold and carry. Clothing
specialists suggest, therefore, that
skirt pockets be roomy enough
for a clenched fist to 60 in and
out easily. This requires cutting
the pocket large enough and then
placing it on a loose part of the
garment. If placed where the
dress fits the body closely-over
the rounded line of the hips or
bust, for example-the curves of
the body will fill out the pocket
and any article forced In, even a
handkerchief, will make an un-
attractive bulge and strain on the
garment.
To make pockets durable, rein
force top corners where the
greatest strain comes. A strip of
tape, basted on the underside of
the dress across the top pocket
line, can be stitched on with the
pocket to give corner strength. A
double row of stitching across the
top of the pocket itself gives adj
ded strength against the pull at
this point.

Fathers Day

Nobody will waken dad tomorrow
morning. He may sleep as long as he
wishes. And when he comes down to
breakfast the coffee will be hot and
everybody will kiss him and wish him
"the best of everything" And ten to
one therell be a new tie or belt or
socks or maybe a white shirt beside
his plate. For tomorrow is Fathers
Day.
1t is a little hard, generally, to get up
much steam because Fathers Day is
an offshoot of Mothers Day and On the
whole there is not the same sentimental
feeling for fathers as for mothers. But
this year there is special significance
in the day because of the fathers who
went away to war and will never re
turn, and because of the sons and daugh-
tiers born since their fathers departure
who will never know them.
This year, then, Fathers Day is not
so much an occasion for making gifts,
grateful as that is, as for considera-
ton of the sacrifice of fathers lives
that we at home, we adults no less than
the babies and young children, may
hope for the ultimate restoration OF
peace in the world.
Tomorrow ought to be especially
dedicated to the fathers in war graves

OPA Legislation

The Senate is willing to extend the
life of OPA until June 80, 1947, with
most. of it's controls removed.
The House previously passed an OPA
bill which differs in form but is quite
as drastic.
The two bills will have to go before
a joint committee commissioned to
smooth out the differences and present
a revamped measure which will still
have to be accepted by both branches
of Congress and bear President Tru-
mans signature before it can become
the law.
Because there is such bitter feeling
against the Office of Price Administra-
ton among many senators and repre-
sentatives on the one hand and the
agency's friends on the other, hearings
before the committee will be drawn
out and acrimonious, but if there is to
be any OPA, final action on a bill grant
ing an extension must be taken before
this month ends.
Should the Senate's suspension of
most price controls be incorporated in
the final draft, the people will have
opportunity to learn by actual expert
ence if the runaway initiation that will
follow the bills adoption can be over
come by the revival of production on a
large scale and black markets be wiped
out.
If production can be built up to
meet the peoples demands, the price
problem will solve itself. Once this is
accomplished black markets will dis
appear, and the nations domestic
trade again become normal.
The burning question is whether
Congressional action is not coming too
late to overcome the handicaps the
OPA's price policies have placed upon
all lines of industry and business.

Major Edward Bowes

Dispatches announcing the death
of Major Edward Bowes, of amateur
hour fame, note many of his attributes
and services but generally fail to men,
ton n of his most outstanding contri-
buttons to his native San Francisco.
Major Bowes was foreman of the
jury that convicted Abe Rufe, the Bill
Tweed of the Pacific Coast metropolis,
who bled the city for years as absolute
and ruthless boss. Bowes had been a
successful real estate operator before
the earthquake and fire which wiped
out some four hundred and more blocks
in April, 1906, taking his fortune along
with everything else in the path.
1t was while the people were strug-
Cling with desperate courage to re-
build their city that Rufe saw his main
chance. No permit to clear away rub
BILE, to move ashes, rae perilous walls,
erect sheds for stores, or rebuild with
scraped bricks on sites formerly &C.
cupled with imposing buildings and
homes was issued until Rufe had re-
ceived his "cut."
The city that had overthrow en-
trenched criminals years before by
vlgllante methods would not stand for
this. Rufe was brought to trial. So
strong was his political power that the
sheriff of San Francisco county was
excused and the coroner, as provided
IN the common law, replaced him. The
trial dragged on for months with de-
tense and prosecution in a daily battle
royal of words and tricks designed on
the n hand to delay and on the other
to speed testimony.
Bowes, all but paupered, finally re-
ported the jury found Rufe guiIty-a
verdict that sent the former boss to
San Quentin for fourteen years and
cleared the way for an indomitable
people to ~re-establish themselves in
business and professions, in commerce
and finance, without the incubus under
which they had suffered so long.
His death is attributed to overwork.
But his friends have noted that when
his wife, Margaret Ellington, the act
ress, died he began to wilt. They were
very close companions. Something OF
inestimable value had gone out OF MS
life that not even overwork could re
place.

Atomic Warfare

IT the world were ready or liable
to be ready for universal brotherhood
within a decade or two, the American
proposal to outlaw atomic warfare bv
agreement would be acceptable. But
only uniformed persons can believe
the will to fight has died out.
To abandon it's chief weapon now
IN the hope that no other nation would
secretly continue experiments in atomic
bomb manufacture, would place the
United States at the mercy of any power
whose experiments were successful.
When the battles were ended on v.
j Day and it seemed possible that peace
might be restored reasonably soon. the
Star advocated outlawing use of the
atomic bomb. But those early dreams
OF quick peace were soon shattered. AS
a result the Star has come to onnose
this step at least until the more militant
powers and those seeking rich rewards
from the conquered nations have chang
ed their views and are willing to settle
doWn in peaceful relations with all
peoples.
Abandonment of atomic warfare
represents high idealism, to be sire
but not realism as the world is now
constituted.
