Devotion to Duty
Keeps Cort-P usher
On 75-Hour Shift

NEW YORK, N. Y.-This is the
story of George Kuscinkas, his
heavy handcart, and devotion to
duty.
George, who Is 56, started walk
ing, and pushing his handcart be-
fore him. That was at E. lOth
street, Manhattan. Fifteen hours
later a detective found him, push
ing ever onward. at 229th st. and
White Plains rd., the Bronx.
On a straight route the distance
would be nearly Is miles. George,
for reasons beyond his control, had
sort of zigzagged. Police estimated
that the cart and its burden weighed
$50 pounds. And George had done
It all without food.
He didn't exactly carry out his
assignment, which was to get a
load Of artists materials over to
1928 E. 23rd st. But even his tenn
porary employer gave him credit
for a hard try. He also paid George
SIS, which, with S. Clipped in by
impressed photographers and re-
porters, made George richer than
he'd been for a long time. And the
employer said he regretted that the
way he wrote "23rd ST." looked Like
'234th st."
George, who Is 5 feet z inches
tall, came here IS years ago from
Lithuania. He did find much
success. The best job he ever had
paid s45 a week, and that was dur
ing the war. Still. he kept going.
George. who Is jobless, was OF
fered a chance to earn a little
money making 4 delivery. Having
had nothing to eat for two days.
George said yes. Georges new en-
ployer gave him 4 slip OF paper,
showed him the handcart. and
George started of.
Detectives said George showed
dismay only once. When. at 22sth
St. he learned that he had missed
his goal by miles. he exclaimed:
do I have to walk downtown
AGAIN."
The answer was no. He was TAX
en- home, with his burden, in the
police car.

Yard and Garden
By Leonard wager
Assistant Horticulturist
Montana Extension Service


Thinning Garden Plants
Too many carrots in a garden
row are no better than a row Of
weeds. Thinning vegetables is q
practice that is not always APP
preciated but can pay big dividends
in better quality vegetables for
the table. Thinning gives more
room for the remaining vegetables
to develop into normal, maximum
size.
1t is impossible for even the best
gardener to SOW his seed just right
in order to avoid thinning later.
This is because of so many things
that might go wrong before and
after the seed comes up. The seed
may terminate unevenly, or poorly.
or there might be considerable loss
from cut worm depradations. So,
the practice of good gardeners is
to sow fairly thickly and thin out
later.
Thinning distances vary with
different crops. These are the dis.
tances suggested for some of the
seed crops:
Carrots, 1 inch to 2 inches
beets, 2 inches to 8 inches; peas
2 inches to 3 inches; beans,
inches; radishes, 1 inch; leaf let
tuce, 4 inches to 6 inches; Swede
turnips, 6 inches to 10 inches;
onion Seeding, 1 inch to 2 inches;
spinach, 2 inches to a inches; sum-
mer turnips, a inches to eight
inches.
We may SOW some vegetables
, thickly purposely. Beets may be
sown thickly and the trimmings
used as greens. Young beet greens
make an excellent substitute for
spinach.
Thinning may be a gradual prac-
tee. For example, carrots may be
thinned to about 1 inch the first
time. The next thinning will in
volve taking out every other car
rot, which will be about half size
and will make an excellent quality
root for the table. Beets may be
handled in a similar way.
1t is often desirable to SOW the
main crop of carrots for storage
! some time in June. AS a conse-
quence the carrots will not be so
large and will not tend to have
the coarseness and poorer quality
of larger roots. One or more early
sowing of carrots may be done to
produce roots for summer table
use.
Carrots need a well prepared,
and level smoth seeded if good
termination is to be ensured. Keep
this seeded moist to encourage
quick termination. A few radish
seeds mixed with carrot seed will
help to mark the row for cultiva-
ton until the carrots come up.
With carrots and all other seeded
garden vegetables, don't wait too
long before thinning. Thinning
must be accomplished early if it
is to do any good.

Railroads Protect Possessions

Railroads Protect possessions
The problem Of surface protec-
ton is very important to railroads.
Finishes must be applied not only
for beauty and decoration. but for
protection as well. Generally
speaking, signals are painted
every year; passenger cars every
three years; bridges every five
years; and freight cars every eight
to ten years.

On the Record
Soviet War Preparations in Baltic
And Elsewhere Now Well Documented

II, however, Baltic war prepara-
tions seem defensive, the same
cannot be said of preparations in
Bulgaria. There a considerable
number of Cominform troops have
been concentrated, among them
Greek Communist guerrillas and
Poles. the latter including 500 Of
ficers. Private letters home from
these officers indicate that the re-
opening Of military operations
against Greece, this spring, are
being discussed, that there are So
Wet military units among the
Cominform troops, that the STOP
page Of all highway and railway
traffic between Romania and Yu-
goslavia is connected with troop
concentration, and that ships with
war cargoes are no longer going
from Gdynia (the Polish port) to
Albania. but to Varna. the Ro-
manian port on the Black Sea.
Romania also is the one satellite
that has been Theoretically sealed
for months against foreign visi-
tors.
Extraordinary Soviet pressure
on neutral Sweden was exercised
at the recent world peace con-
gress" in Stockholm, where Soviet
spokesman Ilya Ehrenburg as
serted that neutrality is not
enough" and that only those peo-
pies could be counted as "parti-
sans of peace" who actively op-
posed the camp of partisans of
war" (the West).
Sweden has been most careful
to document its absolute neutral
ity, granting large credits to the
Soviets and refusing to join either
the Atlantic Pact or a Scandina-
Wan defense alliance. Now Swedes
are wondering whether all coun-
tries which do not become Soviet
satellites are to be branded as
"warmongers."

unique carnival is designed as
much to put the Democratic
workers to work as to entice the
public.
National Chairman Boyle is
ladling out committee funds for
it because he is convinced that
seven out of every 10 votes cast
over 40 million are Democratic
votes. Proper organization, he
asserts, will get out the votes and
when that is done, the party wins.
Commonplace of Politics.
It is a commonplace of politics
that off-year voting dips sharply
and that local issues tend to con-
troll the results. It Is also usual
that when only the partisans are
attracted to the polls, victories go
by narrow margins.
Chairman Boyle harps to his
people on the fact that only "a
million votes were cast when Re-
publicans won the Congress in
1916; when 40 million people voted
in 1948, President Truman won.
Similarly Democratic strength fell
sharply in 1912 with 28 million
votes cast but rose again In presi-
Dental 1914 with At million Amer
leans voting.
