who heads up the Office handling

at the Department of Agriculture,
has DEALT with a public at once in

come through these years in a Job

up to give information to the pub

requirement"
Mrs. Clay, an information spe-
cialiSt was quick to point out that
the majority of questions are in
telligent. sensible ones. But the
odd ones are memorable.
How would you answer this
question? Kindly send literature
on the subjects: Fresh air, good
air, oxygen and in what localities
are they to be found?"
What would you tell a caller who
asked. II would like some infor-
nation on raising earth worms.

Mrs. Clay and the four persons
on her staff receive approximately
81 900 visitors and almost 10000
telephone requests a year. The
visitors come from all over the
country and the world. AS a mat
ter of fact, Mrs. Clay has seen
people from opposite ends of the
earth meet in her Office who
haven't run into each other for
years. She has seen New Yorkers
meet there who hadn't run into
each other for years. either.
One Of Mrs. Clay's duties is to

lplained. I'VE read all of the
news releases. too. We must be
prepared for requests for PAM

questions require considerable re-
search before the answer Is found.
Often the pamphlet itself is sent

"Is skunk edible?" one man

They've acquired quite a repu-

A spot check made during one

Problems Today
Teen-Age Fioncee Seeks Way
To End Hosty Engagement

Would you advise me to break
the engagement now, or wait until
Neil comes home to see what the
outcome will be? We have no i'm
mediate plans for marriage-in
fact. the engagement was rather
hasty as didn't even know I was
getting the ring. A. P. G.
ANSWER: Your problem is be-
ing shared by countless girls all
over the country who yielded, too
hastily. to the opportunities of a
lad leaving the country and con-
tracted too-sudden engagements.
Some girls who are engaged to
boys overseas are mature enough
to know, even at 18, that they are
truly in love. and that their pecu-
liar situation will necessarily en-
tail much loneliness and sacrifice.
Others, like yourself. are already
resenting the state of being tied
down-and this is by no means a
reflection on the girls. Eighteen
is the age for fun-the last of
life's carefree periods. It should
be enjoyed and, if you are con-
vinced that an engagement ham,
pers your social life to the point
where you are becoming bitter
and resentful, the only fair thing
is to give back the ring.
OF course the whole basis of
your unrest lies in the fact that
you are not, and undoubtedly
never have been, in love with Neil.
You were hastily persuaded into
the engagement without having
the emotional equipment to carry
it through.
While 1t is perfectly true that
news Of the type you must convey
to your f1ance is upsetting-to say
the least-its consequences will
not be as tragic as you fear. He
must realize that you didn't have
time to consider. the engagement
in as serious a light as you should
have, he certainly must know that
you are not too much in love with
him. and he is young enough to
recover quite rapidly. Perhaps he
may even feel the same as you do.
When he comes back. you will
have had a taste of freedom and
will be in a better position to
evaluate your mutual relationship
and give really serious thought to
the future.
It's an unwise move for any girl
or boy In high school to become
engaged. Each is major expert
ence in itself and each should
have its own place in life.

Curious Public Rings Agrcu|ture's Phone
Constantly With Countless Queries

found by 5 o'clock. Mrs. Clay re-
|ceived a frantic call for help at
|2:30. After many inquiries she
finally located one at the Nation
al Training School for Boys. The
superintendent was glad to CO.
operate. and the pig was there at
curtain time.
African violets bring more calls
than any other house plant, Mrs.
Clay believes. She gets so many
calls from homemakers, as a mat
ter Of fact, that she has compiled
a list especially for them. The
pamphlet on stain removal re-
mains a top favorite year after
year.
When Mrs. Clay appeared as a
guest on the Kay Kyser radio
show, personal fan mail poured in
from people who had been looking
for some one who could put them
on the track of the data they
wanted. This data was by no
means all agricultural. Some one
asked her to send him all of the
postage stamps from the letters
she received. This would have
proven fruitless in any event, for
inquiries by mail are handled by
another department, as are con-
|gressional queries.
Requests are sometimes topical,
sometimes seasonal. Many calls
came from war-weary veterans
right after the war for data on
farming and chicken raising.
Come Christmas, requests arrive
for help in locating books on
plants and flowers which have
been hunted for years by favorite
relatives. They are often able to
help.
The public can be puzzling. The
local branch of a New York firm
reported that the home ONCE

came. There was an 81" missing.
