Revival of Interest
In National Achievement
Out of the days of the war
when Britain was fighting with
her back to the wall there grew
a great revival of pride and
interest in national achievement
in all phases and periods of
British life. One of the most i'm
portant series resulting from
this is Britain in Pictures pub
lished by William Collins under
the general editorship of w. j.
Turner. These books all have
distinctive covers and contain
excellent color and black-and-
white reproductions of paintings,
prints and photographs. They
are written by experts in their
various fields and cover a very
wide range. The 1946 titles in
cluded the national sport Eng
lish Cricket" and the variable
subject British Weather"
inexpensive book production OF
a high quality is another fea-
ture of this period. The scarcity
of materials and the imminent
possibility of loss both of prop
erty and life, placed an added
emphasis on the Importance of
things being done well. This
fact is brought out in the Brit
ish Book Design 1916" exhibit
held at the New York Public
Library in November, under the
auspices of the National Book
Council and the American Insti-
tute of Graphic Arts. Fifty-nine
books were chosen from a total
of 562 submitted by 81 pub
fishers. They were chosen as
good examples of design and
manufacture, taking into con-
sideration qualities of illustra-
ton, typography, machinery,
paper, binding and value in re-
lation to price. They were not
chosen for their literary con-
tent, although their contents
also frequently caught and held
the attention at the exhibition.

FACED WITH SHORTAGE ARMY
CONTINUES CAMPAIGN TO
OBTAIN QUALIFIED

Still faced with a shortage of
army nurses, despite the new OPP

of the Army has authorized an ex-
tension of the campaign to inter-
est qualified nurses in career SER

Walter G. Runte, local army and

ced here today.

He said the Department of the
Army has extended until November

applications for permanent COM
missions in the Regular Army

for reserve applications, and quail
flied reserve nurses may be eli
gible in future years to qualify for

added.
Captain Runte explained that
candidates for commissions as
regular army nurses are current

ages of 21 and "a, inclusive, who
have served satisfactorily in the

He pointed out that although ap-

will be filled by eligible reserve
nurses.
Age limitations for Reserve
Nurses, are from 21 to "A, inclusive

DEFENSE IDEA
AP Newsfeatures

MADRID = A ministry of defense
headed by 1t. Gen. Jose Enrique
Varela, present high commissioner
of Spanish Morocco, is reported in
army circles to figure in General
issimo Frances plans for a general
reorganization of his government.
The plan, according to these re-
ports, calls for creation of such a
ministry closely resembling that re-
Gently put into effect in the United
States.
Army sources believe the Gener-
alissimo also would enhance the
position of Varela by naming him a
captain-general of the kingdom.
Since Franco himself is now the
only active captain-general of the
realm, this would, in effect, make
Varela the Caudillo's "secondman"
at least in the armed forces which
are considered Francois main pill
lar of support.
With this title, Varela automatic
ally would become a member of the
Council of the Kingdom and the
Council of the Kindom and the
Council of Regency created by
! Frances Law of Succession to
name his successor in the event of
retirement or death.
Gen. Varela, now Sc, has a bril-
liant combat record in the Moroc-
can wars and the Spanish civil war
He twice received the Laureate
! Cross of San Fernando, Spain's
highest decoration for bravery. He
was Frances minister of war from
1899 to 1912. While considered q
monarchist, he is loyal to the gen
eralissimo.
Lieut.. Gen. Jose Solchaga Zala
now captain-general of Catalunia
is regarded as the most likely cand
idate for minister or secretary o
war.
For minister or secretary of air
reports generally pick out presen
air minister, Division Gen. Eduard,

mander of air forces in the Strait

The French designer, who has
come into prominence in the last

simplicity in dress. His idea of a
well-dressed woman is as follows:

Jack f. Bell, extension agricul-
tural engineer, reminds farmers
that harvest of crops before they
are fully matured not only decrea-
ses the yield per acre, but also adds
to the hazards of storage due to the
high moisture content of the grains.
Bell urges farmers to make i'm
mediate repairs to bins and cribs to
prevent losses due to rodents and
insects. Necessary repairs to roofs
and sides of storage buildings
should also be made to prevent
damage to grain during bad wea-
ther.
The use of feeding racks, feed
hunks, and self-feeders cut down
on grain consumption by saving
grain that is otherwise lost on the
ground by the livestock during
feeding periods.
Fall sprays for the control of
peach leaf curl should be started as
soon as leaves are off the trees. This
is the recommendation contained in
