Veterans organizations went
into action on the proposal of
the administration to cut back
construction in Veteran Admins
tration hospitals. The president in
his budget message and in an
order to the VA ordered a cut
back of some 10000 beds. This
would include the construction
of "a hospitals in "A cities in Is
states.
Fourteen other proposed hospi-
tails in II cities in eight states
and the District of Columbia had
their planned capacities reduced
The feeling became so high
that Robert M. McCurdy, reha-
bilitation committee vice-chair-
man told an American Legion
conference that if the American
Medical association does not join
the Legion in seeking restoration
of the 10000 beds, the Legion
ought to reconsider its opposi-
ton to the administration COM
pulsory health insurance pro-
gram. The American Medical as
sociation, however, says it has
not taken a stand on the hospi-
tai cut-back, but does favor in
tegration or veterans hospital
ization in private hospitals, with
the VA paying the bill to the
private hospital
According to the observers
here, some cabinet designations
are in the offing. These would
include Snyder of the treasury
and Sawyer of the department
of commerce. Secretary John
Sullivan of the department of
the navy, a former assistant sec
retary of treasury under Henry
Morgenthau, is a good bet to
succeed Snyder and the dopesters
have it that Cornelius Wander
bilt Whitney is a likely choice to
succeed Sawyer.
1t is also said that ECA Ad-
ministrator Paul Hoffman may
soon resign as head of the big
European Recovery administra-
ton and that his likely successor
will be Averill Hartman, now
boss of the European front of
ECA. The presidents recent ap-
pointment of Louis Johnson as
secretary Of defense to succeed
Secretary Forrestal is regarded
with favor here.
The prediction is that despite
the opposition of Senator Cain of
Washington and some jockeying
by the committee, the nomina-
ton of Mon Wallgren to head the
National Security Resources
board will eventually be voted
by the senate.

Gaping
the CAPITAL
With BEN HAYES

columbus, O-MlSplaceQ tame
has come to Noble county boy.
His name is Hayes, born at
Middleburg, April l, 1912. Lizzie
Estadt recalls the day. l don't
but I've been told about it. There
was nothing French Provincial
in the decorations of my nursery;
the walls were covered with or
dinary Jefferson township wall
paper
Lazarus, the Bill Hill Store of
Columbus, has decorated living
room and called it "The Ben
Hayes Room" ="
Well, in the first place the
room" is in the store-not in my
house. And worse, the Lazarus
boys don't intend to give it to
me. And we could use some new
"cheers."
This Ben Hayes room is decor
ated in French Provincial style.
The chairs and sofa have curved
legs and carvings all over. The
upholstering is damask. The cur
tains are velvet. The furniture is
made of fruitwood (probably
crab apple).
This, l argue, is an outstanding
case of misplaced fame. l don't
belong in that room. Hills store
could do a much better job of
matching my personality.
Suppose they decide to try.
Let's take the general scheme
from Hempy Denbow's house in
the holler south of Lewisville. It
was a log house with white
washed walls. We patched there
Al Hayes, Bill Hayes, Ellis
Hayes, Howard Sanford, and
with me as cook. We were very
happy there. Except Uncle Ellis.
He complained about his cot be-
ing hard. Sc he put loose hay
under the mattress. Then one
mornin, he lighted his corncob
pipe and went back to sleep, the
hay caught fire. l had bucket
Of water handy. l think the hay
and the bucket ought TO be a
part of the authentic Ben Hayes
room.
Then, if Hills do not mind, I'd
like to borrow a labor-saving de-
vice that Thad Van Fossen had
at his house up in ,Dillehay Hol-
Ter. Thad had coal bank in his
backyard. He would dig up
WheelbarroW load of coal and
wheel it right in the house and
park it on the hearth. I'll bet the
French provincials never thought
of that.
There used to be family in
Dexter City that had a porch
swing hanging from the ceiling
in front of the fireplace. I'd want
one of those.
We ought to get one of Jewett
Morrison's weight clocks for the
mantel. Uncle Harve has an old
platform rocker that would fit it.
I'd want about nine good cheers"
with backs on them. Not too
much furniture; I'd like to be
ready to move without too much
preparation. Like Bill Stack.
Uncle Harve once asked Bill how
long it would take him to move.
Bill said: About half hour.
Call the dog, throw water on the
fire and knock down the old bed
stead"
I'd like to have hole sawed
in the front door for the cat. If
I had more than one cat. I'd want
a hole for every cat. For when
l say Scat" I mean Scat"
Last of all, l want my living
room up off the ground piece.
I'm like Buzz Clark in that re-
spect. Buzz, one of the famous
Clark Bros, threshers, didn't like
low ground.
II don't want to live where cat
fish keep knocking off your
traps" Buzz said.

600 Rose Fans
AttendSociety's
Demonstrations

With the pruning demonstration
last Sunday 1T the A. G. Barrett
garden, the Potomac Rose Society
concluded three Sunday program
that served more than 900 rose
enthusiasts.
Niels J. Hansen pruned large
lowered climbers Of New Dawn
and DR.. Nicholas varieties for the
more than 200 guests at the Bar
rett demonstration. He recon-
mended that three-year wood be
removed from climbers and that
laterals be cut back to 4 to 6
inches. This will result In fewer
but better blooms. The climber
canes can be pruned to fit the
situation and tied into place with
heavy cord. He urged use of sharp
tools to prevent stem injury.
As to ramblers. these also should
be pruned to the location, but the
laterals or shoots should be left.
Hybrid teas should be pruned to
Ii to "a inches, DR.. Hansen said.
This preserves food and energy
stores in the cane as well as lifting
the overgrowth of the bush high
enough to keep out ground-fevel
disease. Cutting back to remove
saw fly infestation and all diseased
wood was recommended, also cov-
ering the cut ends with prepara-
tions to prevent re-entry of the
saw fly pending natural healing of
the cut.
At the recent meeting OF the
society, DR.. Charles E. Kellogg
urged q combination Of cow ma
nure and chemical fertilizer to
enrich the soil. The manure keeps
bacteria active and the 5-10-5t
fertilizer has great soil-buildipg
effects. The phosphorus goes to
the flower. the nitrogen promotes
growth and the potash makes the
plant sturdy. Both types of ferti-
lization can go on now.
The annual banquet of the So
ciety Aprilr21 will take the place of
the next meeting.

still has major place in the big
show. All types and kinds of ar
rangements appeared some time
on the show schedule. In addi-
ton, there were a number Of dem
onstrations for those especially in
terested in the various phases Of
this art.
The seaside planting display OF
the New York Botanical Garden
was exceedingly well done. Lists
of suitable plants, shrubs, ETC.,
were distributed to all interested.
The Brooklyn Botanical Garden
had a display of 100 dwarf trees
and shrubs suitable for rock gar
den and low foundation paintings.
At the side of this well-arranged
exhibit there was a small display

described the plant material on

how to make things grow better

achieve success. To be sure, there
was interest in the varieties and
the techniques, but the visitors
massed about the commercial

and decorative work. Each occu-

Frills VS.. Non-frills. Once again
this question has come up. The
Parents League for Curriculum
Improvement could probably re-
new their heated debates on Mont
gomery County policy in regard to
"fun in the classroom" if they were
given a chance to discuss the con-
troversial subject of Project week
in Montgomery County schools.
Certainly the projects undertaken
during this week are very remotely
concerned with the all-important
80 RS" From past years it is evil
dent that during this time little
thought is given to readin', 'ritin',
and 'rithmetic. Most students
choose one of two alternatives.
Either they decide on project in
d field about which they know moth
ing, and then promptly forget any
thing they might accidentally have
learned; or, they take up as their
project a hobby or spare-time occu-
patton which they spend much
time on at home regardless of
whether or not project week is
held.

FriIIs vs. Non-FriIIs

Learning by experience is good
advice, and a good policy to fol-
low, but why learn something if it
is to be used only as a hobby in
later life? If there is not time to
learn the hobby outside of school,
there will not be time to prac-
tice it.
In the lower County schools,
which have the facilities, if not the
space, to carry out a successful
project week, rs or 80 per cent of
the students who graduate attend
some school of higher learning.
Yet the principles of project week
do not fit in with the policies of
any except trade schools, and these
account for but a small percentage
of the college attendees. In the up
per County, where the percentage
of college material is lower, the ia
cilities which are necessary to pro-
vide material for diversified prof.
ects are simply not available.
Field trips during project week
might be profitable, but is it not
the County policy to sponsor these
trips regardless of project week?
Vocational counseling and permits
sion to be excused from school for
part-time work are available
throughout the County, so project
week cannot be upheld on the basis
of its providing the chance to
choose a vocation.
If the plan of study set up in
Montgomery County schools allows
ample time to cover the prescribed
curriculum requirements and still
have a project week, then wouldn't
1t be simpler to cover the academic
requirements and close the schools
earlier, instead of keeping students
in school half of the summer? This
added time would allow student
time to get started on a "paying
project" that would last through
out the summer. If, however, it is
necessary to keep the schools open
until July to cover the basic re-
quirements, then there is certainly
no time for project week in Mont
gomery County.
