the Annual School Lunch Work

upon the educational value of the

an opportunity to teach our school

To further this conviction, this
year Mr.. Warken has obtained
free teacning materials pertinent
TO the School Lunch Program and
correlated with the school currieu-
lum from a member of the out
standing food manufacturers in

LONDON-A campaign is under

make tea. Some tea producers
think the British have lost the art.
The worlds big tea producers
are worried about this loss. They
blame the niggardly use Of their
product for the lack of excellent
cups Of tea in Briton and for the
drop in the tea business.
The tea moguls. owners Of huge
plantations in India, Ceylon, East
Africa and 1ndonesia, say dozen
years of rationing have knocked the

ing
They say the art has become so
lost that whole generation OF
Britons has never had decent cup
of tea
Through their London based tea
bureau the tea men have just fin
ished survey showing that lot
of British youngsters don't drink
tea any more. The reason-British
mothers just don't make it right
The main trouble seems to be

preliminary results OF five-year

American college youth. This study
was made by Mr.. Straus and Sell

OF the American women students
who drink, SIS per cent also started
drinking before entering college.
Mr. Straus said.
The probability that young

tinued. lis closely related to the
practices Of his or her parents.
"Of the men whose parents both

both abstain, drink.

SO per cent Of the women drink on

He declared that parental advice
on abstinence seems to be much
stronger than advice from either
church leaders or teachers.

INQUIRY CORNER
Q. Is heaven merely a state of

Q. Is hedUen merely a state of
being? II not iUhere is it?
A. The primary fact about
heaven is the beautific vision,
seeing God face to face. The state
of perfect happiness in Gods
presence and that of His saints
constitutes the state of being.
The absence of this vision and
presence constitutes the unhappy
state of hell. Both are places
too, but we know nothing about
the location of them. We know
that heaven is a place because
of the presence there now of the
glorified body of Jesus Christ
and of His mother, assumed into
heaven.
Q. Is ii true that 1t is a mortal
SIN for Catholic parents not TO
send their children TO Catholic
Schools?
A. Church law states that par
ents are bound by most serious
obligation to provide to the best
of their ability for the religious
and moral education of their
children" Canon No. 1113). Can

stances, and with what safe

Christian party governments that have been most
successful IN putting democracy into practice.
The Church, and particularly the Old World
Church, has often been accused of being anti-demo-
cratic by the socaed liberals here and abroad.
Yet nowhere has democracy had greater growth and
people more prosperity than in those countries
where the Christian parties have had charge of the
government
1t should give pause to those who see In the
Church the greatest enemy of democracy, whether
here or abroad A Christian concern for the well
fare OF our fellow men has been rewarded in the
promise of united and stable and peaceful Europe.

Cultivation OF Soil
Increases Capacity
For Absorbing Rain

With Virginia receiving limited
amounts Of rain, farm specialists
at VPI advise cultivation as a
means Of making soils more cap
able of absorbing rain water
when 1t does come
Although the principal value of
cultivation is IN the control Of
weeds IT also helps loosen the
soil, particularly heavier soils
which tend to become packed and
crusted
In the home garden, there is
little reason to cultivate deeper
than one-haf to one and a half
inches. the specialists say How
ever. in heavy soils which are
somewhat compact, it may be
necessary to use a wheel hoe with
cultiVator shoes or points
The best and easiest time to
cultivate for weed control IS be-
fore the weeds are large enough
TO be seen, or preferably before
they are above ground
Mulches are another effective
way to control weeds. conserve
moisture ana prevent erosion Also
a mulch saves possible damage to
crops from hoeing or cultiYatlng
heavily
Straw Old hay Or grass. leaves.
peat moss and other materials
make good mulches. 1t IS best to
let the crops get large enough to
need one cultivation before the
mulch is applied

Thick Coating Frost
On Freezer Is Costly

Thick frost on your freezer is
costly because it cuts down stor-
age space II takes Just as much
electricity to hold the frost At zero
temperature as it would take to
keep frozen food.
The best practice is to remove
frost when it is about 0ne-half
inch thick on large areas OF walls
or shelves. The frost may be re-
moved off with specially made
scoop tools that catch it as it is
scraped off Be careful about
using tools that are sharp enough
to damage the freezer walls or the
gasket around the opening
Ice on the freezer must be melt
ed off Dlsconnect the freezer and
take out the food. II your freezer

freezer does not have drain,
place an electric fan SO the air
hits the ice Remove the ice as it
looSens. You will have to keep

meeting the electricity and putting
