To Frenchmen. who raise only a

about American food aid to France,
1t gave a chance for a thrust.
The newspaper also quoted bakers

barley and soya now used for baking
French bread was bad enough to
handle. If corn were added, the
quoted bakers said, well have fiat

Cellulose is recognized as an item
of universal Importance. 1t is a raw
material indispensable in many in
dustries, notably in that of paper
making and for strategic items.
Production of the finished product
has expanded so rapidly that a
shortage of the raw material may
be foreseen. Consumption of cellu-
lose has increased progressively on
account of its rise in other indus
tries such as vegetable silk, cellu-

History Teaches Students
Citizenship, Hansen Says

DR.. Carl F. Hansen. associate
superintendent Of public schools,
yesterday underscored the value
of history in public schools as the
key to teaching children the les
son of good citizenship.
Speaking before a meeting Of the
State National Defense Committee
Of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, DR.. Hansen said teach
ing of history in schools is means
of impressing the future citizen
with fact that his rights and priv
lleges were fought for and won at
great sacrifice by others. If history
is neglected a national amnesia"
follows, a disease as Gripping TO a
nation as it is to an individual, he
said.
Public schools must also teach
the proper use of the rights and
privileges we enjoy as citizens, DR..
Hansen said. A modern system
which teaches self-management
rather than a rigid discipline is an
essential preparation for the citizen
of a democratic country, he said
Mrs. William McGlauf1in, chair
man of the committee, presided at
the meeting.

until last week. Yesterday when he
learned the Andersons were plan
ming to move from the Rockford
area he left home.
While supper was being prepared

me, I'll kill you" Marsh dragged the

When her mother -in-law tried
TO stop him Marsh told her "be quiet
and you won't get hurt" She ignored
his warnings and ne leveled his
pistol at the woman and pulled the
trigger but the weapon had jammed.
He beat her on the head with the
butt, flooring her.
