LET'S PLAN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN

NO FAMILY with space and water should buy foods which can
easily be raised atshone. Home growing Of foods. is one Of the best
ways to cut down the amount Of moneyfWe spend for food. BY
growing what we can Of our own food we can save our money
for other items which we must buysNa5s
THERE ARE no other kinds Of food which can be rasied at
home in IS small a space. with less time and attention. and as low
a cost as fruits and vegetables. We are not making the best use Of
our land until we are growing as much as we can OF these mpor-
tant foods. Moreover, at the high prices we must pay for vegetables
at the marketfaniles Of low income cannot afford to buy them y
large enough amounts to provide a regular Wel-baanced diet
IN A previous article "The Virgin Islands Diet it was shown
that the meals we eat do not contain sufficient fresh fruits and
vegetables. These foods are Of great importance in helping to keep
us healthy. We can easily improve our diets by including more
vegetables and fruits in our meals. To reduce the cost OF dong SO,
each farm family should use a small plot Of land for. growing OF
fruits and vegetables for home use. Town families who have back
yard space, good soil, and a good supply Of water can grow q few
vegetables, during the rainy season, to reduce their market pur-
chases. Many persons spend a few hours each week insthe care Of
flower gardens. The addition Of a few vegetables would not re-
qure much more space, time 9 labor.
Here are some simple rules to follow in planning the garden:
/. Choose a plot near to the house which is as near flat as pos
sible, Or is gently sloping and is protected from winds.
2 After the plot has been selected the soil should be prepared
for planting. Unless it has recently been cultivated, spade it
or have it plowed. Work some commercial fertilizer or manure
into the soil to improve the richness and increase crop yields.
Be sure you buy seeds that are fresh.
/. Make your seedbeds of loose, welLeumbled soil.
5. Seeds should be sown the last Of July 81 during the first week
in August to be ready for transplanting by md-September.
{. Sunlight is important to the growing. Of vegetables. If your
land is nearly flat, run the rows from north to south so the
seedlings will get the greatest, amount of sunlight. eff the land
is steep, run the rows on the contour to prevent erosion9
I. Dotnot plant slips close to large shady trees which will take
away available light, water and plant food. S
g. Be sure to keep 4 supply Of water on hand for use during dry
spells.
9 Be sure to protect the garden from destruction by chickens
and animals.

now TO LIvE WITH YOUR rEEN-AeER

I'm too old to be a squad and
too young 10 be "A chicken. What
am /? | guess a dead duck, that's
ALL" Thus speaks one of the teen
ayers DIR. Dorothy Baruch writes
about i'm her recently published
book HOW TO LIVE WITH
YOUR TEEN-AGER
DIR. Baruch, n leading consult
ing psychologist and parent,
says that no time in the life of
parents brings rs many puxxling
questions as does that period
when their children are in the
teen years. This is an age when
feelings are heightened and
uulckened." she tells us. "even
though your adolescent may put
on bravado or an I-dont-care
manner"
DIR. Baruch does not consider
the teen-ager alone and apart,
however. After all" she says,
the teen-ager is member OF
society, and he must live In his
family until he is old enough TO
take his own life into his own
hands" Therefore. DIR. Raruch
considers the parents feelings as
we'll ~ those of the teen-ager. "lf
parents try 20 go counter to their
desires and impulses" she tells
us, as they have too often tried
to do in order TO be good parents,
they only make themselves and
their teen ayers edgy and tense"
So 10 ali parents and teachers
her motif is: Consider the teen
ayers feelings. Consider your
own feelings. For only out of this
dual sort of consideration can
really sound guidance be
achieved"
The Illinois times. (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-19??, 1953-12-21

important 10 the parents them
selves" As said above, DR..
Baruch does not feel that parents
should wave these desires aside.
but she says they must be frank
about their feelings and not try
TO disguise them. For example:
you viii have to make your bed
before you leave for school In the
morning because II gets under my
my skin To have it left undone
all day il a very different thing
The Illinois times. (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-19??, 1953-12-21

from saying. Unless you learn
20 make your bed as you should,
YOU won't know how tn take care
of your own home properly when
you get married" In the former.
you are admitting that it's for
you you're asking. and you're not
putting on an act that it's for
your child. And basically your
child will love and respect you
far more for being honest than
he will II he senses any sham.
Our teen-ager still wants love,
and our love il still essential 10
him. But he IL struggling To

and parents can help their teen

alize, as Dorothy Baruch points
out in her book.

this base is being financed by
IA NATO nations.
SACLANT is working on such
staggering problems of logistics
as estimating how many tons
of aircraft ammunition must
be shipped to Europe if war
breaks out, how much fuel will
be needed to service a feet at
sea for a long period, what
reserve stocks of food and
clothing should be on hand in
the event of attack and what
buildings, runways or bases
must be constructed to handle
aircraft.

Comdr. Bradwell Turner Of
the Royal British Navy,
SACLANTs deputy chief Of
communications, points out
that instead of starting from
scratch if war comes I'VE are
streaks ahead just in the plan
ming that has already been
done.
IF an aggressor strikes and
orders go out to the ships Of
the various friendly nations to
join up in the striking or sup
port forces. they will not be
strangers to each other but
will have worked together as
a team under a common set Of
rules" he says.

back-breaking job he has been
given. Trim-looking and re-
served. he has served in prac-
tically every post q naval ofncer
can. except aviation, since his
graduation from the United
States Naval Academy in 1915.
He was second in his class Of
1873 midshipmen.
When the Japs hit Pearl
Harbor he was assistant war
plans officer for the COM
mander in chief, Pacific. Later
he became war plans officer for
Admiral Nimitz and in that
position served through the
Battles Of Coral Sea, Midway
and Guadalcanal.
AS commanding officer of
the battleship South Dakota,
he operated with the British
Home Fleet. As chairman Of
the Joint Logistics COMMITTEES
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff he
accompanied Fleet Admiral
King to the Quebec and Yalta
Conferences.
British Deputy
Admiral McCormick's deputy
is British Vice Admiral Sir
William Andrewes, a veteran
of the Battle of Jutland in the
First World War, of Italy and
Sicily in World War II and
of Korea where he commanded
a force of British, French,
Dutch and United States
ships.
From the very beginning.
NATO Comdr. Mccormick has
worked with one purpose
to train the forces Of the Allied
Atlantic Command to function
as q unit. Five months after
he assumed command he was
ready for his first big test,
MAINBRACE, a training exer-
else off Northern Europe that
involved ITS warships, 1000
planes and 10000 men.
Refueling at sea was one big
problem because of the diff
ference Of equipment between
the various navies. After much
study Of the lessons learned
on MAINBRACE, q metal
adapter was devised that will
enable q Dutch mine sweeper
to fuel from . French tanker,
o British corvette from an
American cruiser and In fact.
q ship Of any one NATO ma
ton from another.
Standardization Of methods

and procedures also was found
to be necessary. Because of
MA1NBRACE hundreds of
studies are now underway on
such subjects as flreighting
material and equipment. sup
ply arrangements in the vari-
Gus navies, camouflaging ships
in wartime and the salvage of
damaged ships and aircraft.
Coordination, Not Dictotion
The important thing. as one
officer put it, is that SACLANT
is not a dictator but a CO.
ordinator. 1--WE never contend
that this or that is the best way
to do something and demand
that. each nation do it," he
emphasized. Rather do we
try to get the different ma
tions to agree on some i'm
provement or some effective
method Of doing something
and then attempt to see that
it is put into operation"
Direct result of the plan
ming being done by Admiral
McCormick's command is the
decision to build a $12 million
airbase on the island of
Andoya. off the coast of Nor
way. Only 600 miles from Ice
land and in an excellent posi-
tion to assist seaborne aircraft

sored by first-term Represent
tive Broyhill. Republican. OF
Virginia. This would appoint
a commission to study the
transportation problems and
thus delay any immediate &C
ton on them. Senator john
son, however, retorted that ex-
tensive hearings were held on
these problems last year by the
Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee and this year by
the Senate District Commit
tee, indicating there is nothing
left to study.
Interest in the proposal now
centerS on the House side,
where freshman Representa-
tive Hyde, Republican. Of
Maryland has sponsored a
companion bill. Early hearings
on this are good possibility.
Consideration Of the meas
ure in the House will pit MIR.
Hyde against Mr.. Broyhill. It
may even extend to the Mary
lands delegation versus Vir-
ginia's. Mr.. Broyhill and his
supporters probably will fol-
low the line taken by Sem
ator Robertson and attempt to
substitute the study commits
sion plan for the Senate
approved regulatory commits
sion.
Fare Roise DeIoy
If the Hyde-Johnson meas
ure becomes law it very prob
ably would delay action on
Capital TranSit's pending re-
quest for a fare increase. A
June 3 hearing date on the
company plea has been set.
It certainly would provide an
interesting comparison be-
tween area cooperation backed
by the force Of law and the
voluntary cooperation being
tried out in other fields, such
as highway planning.
If you ride buses you have to

testimony already taken on
the whole issue. recalls the
words of an old song from
schooldays that went some

so why study?"
Bridge Plon's Doom
A local real estate firm
trumped the Commissioners
bridge game the other day with
the announcement it planned
a big apartment project on
part Of the old Nevius tract In
Arlington.
This was precisely where the
Commissioners had hoped to
have Virginia approaches to
their recommended E street
NV. crossing. Engineer Com
missioner Louis Prentiss
promptly has ordered a re-
study of the controversial sit
uation.
Federal planners are doubt
less pleased with the develop
ment. They didn't like the e
street bridge idea anyway. And
in their contacts with the Dis
trict Building over bridge mat
ters they usually have found
the Commissioners holding the
high cards when the chips
were down at the Capitol.
