FARM FOLKS ADVISED TO
"GET HOUSE IN ORDER"
CONTINUED from firsr pags)


Farm families are in a particul-
arly strategic spot to help stretch
their income, points out Miss Whit
comb. A carefully planned and cul-
tivated farm garden will give fresh
vegetables for three or four months
each year, plus a quantity to pre-
serve for the rest of the year. Small
fruits can be grown; meat and poul-
try produced. At least rs percent of
foods consumed at home can be
raised on farm.
Farm families are fortunate 100
in being able to make many of their
own repairs. This family participa-
tion in keeping up the farm and the
use of materials at hand increases
comfort as we'll as income.
This is not the time for farm peo-
pie to Overbuy or incur new debts.
Nor is it a good time to increase
size of business.
The summary of the planning ard
spending of the 80 farm families,
Accounting for the Family Money
is available upon request from the
county extension Offices in Newark

YOU TAKES YER CHOICE

decide I'd rather ~rk ana live m Schenectady, can go there. Or Racine, or Spokane. If l want to, can settle down and make the San Fernando Valley home. If I've been machinist, but decide that the radio industry if the place for me, there are ways l can trall myself to get into radio. If l Waat to drive a Diesel locomotive ir tead of a bus, l can go into ra;l roading.
 Nobody tells me l can't. l can try as many jobs as l like. If l don't like the job, can walk out the door. When 1 find job that suits me, can work right up to be manager of the department or even president of the company, if I have the ability and the enter prise. If want to start my own business and become an employer, can do that too.
 Nobody Says No"
 In America nobody tells me can't do all these things. But II lived in a totalitarian country, would be told. A uniformed off cial would have the duty of ie).ins me in what part of the country l could work. A representative ot the state would inform me that l must train for certain job. l , would have no choice in the kind of job.
 Being told to stay put, 1 would have little chance for advance ment. My wages would be regu- lated entirely by the state, and there would be no redress of griev- ance. Leaving a job would be inn possible. There would be no firing for unsatisfactory work. Instead, could be thrown into a concen- tration camp or a slave labor bat 1 talion. There I would be taught ' completely how to become servant to the master, the State.
 Supremity of State"
 I could never hope to start or to own a business of my own. My whole life would be dedicated to , the State. I would become a pawn, like millions of others, to do the bidding of some commissar" rep resenting that undeniable quan- tity, the totaliatrian State. My in- dividuality, what there is left of it, would be subject to the whims of some "politburo."
 Is not this contrasting picture accurate? Yes, you agree. How ever, what you are probably think ing is that America can never be- 1 come such a totalitarian state. Friend, we would have to ignore the history of the world to assume that such dangers do not confront | America. When a nation is pros- porous is just the moment that you may watch for decline to set in. We must be no less Watchful be- cause times are good. We cannot ignore danger signs.
 Swap With Europe?
 No American worker would want to swap places with the av- craze European worker. Yet so many of us unhesitatingly accept ideas and methods that come right from the very countries that we have outperformed hundred ways to breakfast. Not everything

Nothing could be more important. We hope it will be thorough and come out with answer.

Carusi put it, When an alien does something she shouldn't and to attention we begin to check up records" The good system that doesn't work should be the key to the Senatorial investigation This country is full of alien visitors, here permits which unchecked and unpoliced Many of the visitors fine people,

 Maybe But what about shifting the burden of proof to the visitor-Wth penalty? Why should not he she be compelled to report when the permit is about to expire? Why not under some such penalty as is inn posed on citizen of our own country when an income tax payer fails to file on time?
 Such policy might us from having to extend vastly immigration inspection department in order to check up our visitors

Youth Is The Prey Of Communism

ing serious study of an organization called "AmericanI Youth for Democracy" which hase become active inI many schools and colleges of the country and which at- tracted thousands of young men and women as mem- berS.
 The activities of this group in the Pacific Northwest first brought to public attention by The Post-ln- tegencer last September, when Everett high school student reported the matter the Federal Bureau of h. vesgation. Subsequently The Post-lntellgencer dis closed the existence of units in Seattle among both high school and University of Washington students, and in Benton, Kirkland, Tacoma, SnohomiSh, Spokane and Vancouver, Wash.
 It is not surprising that many young people should be attracted to organization so innocent in appear ance and with such title for of course most young Americans for democracy
 If it were indeed on American organization, sin cerey devoted to the principles of democracy the fact that it is established in 60 colleges in IA states and has 16 194 members would not be for Congress sional national but for general and genuine approval
 But Congress has discovered some astonishing things about this organization, among them that t is neither American democratic in its origin purposes"
 Branding viciously subversive organization, the official report of committee of Congress dscloses that it not only functions Communist agency in the United States but frankly bore and acknowledged it's Communist identify.
 Until very recently the campus organization which thousands of American students familiary know and n nocently accept American Youth for Democracy was officially called the Young Communist League.
 By the simple expedient of changing its name it has apparently made itself acceptable to thousands of young people to whom Communism is repugnant-but in doing it has not renounced it's origin devated from it's purposes.
 Manipulated by shrewd and specially trained organ izers operating in circle behind the scenes, the committee of Congress reports, m endeavors to ex poit to the advantage of foreign power the idealsm the inexperence and the craving to join, which is characteristic of our college youth
 Behind veil of multitude of high-sOunding slO- gans is conscious of determined effort to dsafect youth and to turn them against religion against the m home he college authorities against the American government itself.
 Tt is indeed training school in lawlessness.
 Its methods underhanded and devious, in line with the Trojanhorse policy initiated at the seventh congress of the Communist International
 'The tragedy is that this movement has been able to corrupt of young people for its subversive de- signs.'
 Of course, the title by which American Youth for Democracy is known to it's members is phoney.
 It totally Red Fascist in origin and purpose less under the present phoney title than it was when it open ly and correctly called isef the Young Communist League"

County Tax Assessor Claude
Gandolfo,4 who returned Saturday
after an inspection tour of the
Upper Keys, is authority for this
statement.
Gandolfo and his assistant, J..

which took them to Matecumbe,
Marathon, Tavernier. Windley
Island, Key Largo and Planta-
ton Key.
New construction that has
gone ahead on tho keys was i'm
pressive," Gandolfo SAID. Il think
that soon several of the keys will
resemble prosperous communi-
ties, even cities.
Il expect the construction in
another year will be much more
impressive than the work that
has been done up the keys in the
last year. Il was told that a lot of
future construction is now being
planned.
Nowhere did l find that the
construction was cheap. Most of
the homes that have been built
will run from $4,000 to $4,000
each"
Much of the new construction,
notably on Plantation Key, has
gone ahead on lands leased from
the state. On this type of con-
struction no assessments can be
placed, but Gandolfo said that
all of it would be in the form of
personal property taxes.
He said that the direct real es-
tate assessments and the personal
property assessments would be
about $225,000 increase this year
over last.

Fears Expressed
For Safety OF 2
Seamen In Boat
THIRD MAN RESCUED,

Fears for the safety of two of
three members of the crew of the
leaking 75-foot yacht, Rhojan II,
