BE KIND TO YOUR GROCER IRIS WEEK

* Rationing Brings “Headache” to Merchant

’ More Than to Public

"W hat can I buy tram you to ­d ay ?" asked a Chatsw orth citizen of hia grocer Monday morning.

"Toothpicks and broom s!" i plied the storekeeper.

‘'Well, i t X can’t buy groceries. I won’t need any toothpicks, I reck on." responded the Inquiring customer.

All Joking "onto one side," as the fellow says, the cu rren t ra ­tioning program doesn’t provide a picnic fo r the grocer any more than it does fo r the consumer. I t is a new deal for all concerned and will involve good-natured co­operation to operate smoothly. I t m ust be adm itted th a t no one is seriously affected so far,—unless it is the dealer, and he is entitled to patient consideration right now.

History shows th a t m ilitary de­fea t is usually preceded by a col­lapse on th e home front. Such collapse inevitably follows a breakdown In th e supyly of civil­ian necessities. Nothing is more essential to the conclusion of a w ar than an efficient and fa ir dis­tribution system to m eet civilian needs.

Hundreds of thousands of re­tail m erchants scattered through­out every county in th e United S tates a re working day and night to have food, clothes, and all com­modities always available for the civilian population. They a re co­operating w ith the government in an phases of the price stabiliza­tion and rationing problems. They are spending millions of advertis­ing dollars explaining to consum­ers the need for regulatory mea­sures and how to comply with them. W here gaps in the rules exist, the m erchants a re aafclng the voluntary cooperation of cus­tom er* to prevent hardship Gov­ernm ent rulings cannot possibly cover every emergency, any m a n than they can m ateria lly soften the grim realities for the m er­chant.

Thoughtful buyers realise th a t back of th e cheerful ex terio r of the m odem store a re sleepless nights for m anagements th a t m ust eepe w ith nightm ares o f compli­cated rules, restrictions, price squeezes, labor shortages, stagger­ing taxes and other problems w ith­out precedent.

So, this week, and next week, be kind to your merchant.

BIG CROWD EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY SALE

■ Chatsworth’* Fourth Annual Event Attracting Wide Attention

C hatsw orth’* community u on Saturday of this week prom is­es to exceed an y of the th ree pea- vioua sales o f th is charac te r held here.

Judging by the am ount of live­stock, farm ing implements and household goods listed th e th ree auctioneer* will have plenty to do. As in previous years th e sate will be along the business section and pens fo r the stock will be erected in tim e to tak e care of a ll ani­mals brought in. H m widening of the paving a year ago will greatly assist in handling the sale.

There is a lot of work attached to a sale of th is kind and th e m en who are devoting tim e and ef­fo rts w ithout compensation are doing a real service to th e -conv munity. The sale Is sponsored by the public spirited business men and citizens of th e com m unity for the benefit of farm ers, principal­ly, who m ay sell any surplus stock or o ther personal property w ith­ou t cost.

W ith favorable w eather a very large crowd is expected as reports from surrounding towns indicate th a t there will not only be people here from some distance b u t th a t artic les will be brought here for sale.

BLUEBIRD* EN D SEASON W ITH NO VICTO KIES

The Chatsworth high school bas­ket ball team . The Blue Birds, set a new record by losing th e ir final scheduled gam e last F riday night to Forrest, 37-27, to keep their season’s to ta l unsullied w ith 0 victories and 13 defeats.

Too much tenseness probably lost this gam e as Forrest Jumped to 12-4 and 26-9 leads in the first t a p q u arte rs with C hatsw orth m issing sho rt shots and guarding poorly to allow numerous F orrest sleepers. B ette r shooting by the local team enabled them to out- score F o rrest 18-11 In th e last half bu t the firs t half lead was too much to overcome.

The reserves showed good pass­ing in the second half to win their fourth victory of the year 2612. Q uarter scores; 2-2; 5-4; 17-7 and 2612, indicate the second h a lf im­provement.

The district tourney opened at P iper City last night w ith Chats­w orth losing their final game of the season to St. Paul's of Odell, which team is a hot favorite to win the tourney.

1,900 SIGN FOR RATION BOOK TWO

* Thirty Teachers Handle Registration Monday and Tuesday

Over 1900 ra tion books w ere Is­sued to the residents of German- vflle, C hatsw orth and C harlotte townships last Monday and Tues­day. The school forces of the three townships, comprising a group of alm ost th irty , completed the work Tuesday evening a t the grade school in Chatsworth.

Very little excess coffee was de­clared but local residents evident­ly have quite a few cans on re­serve. Many folks have always made a practice of buying canned foods by the case lot, but accord­ing to the point system as publish­ed this week, everyone is going to have plenty of trouble living from a can from now on. About three cans of food s tu ff per month will use up the to tal 48 points allowed each person.

A t least four books in the local community a re without validation stam ps and if the grocers a re a le rt these holders will be unable to ob­tain any canned foods a t all. Four validation stam ps have been re ­tained by the high school for the benefit of these four book holders If th ey will m ake them selves known.

T he average family, w ith no su r­plus canned goods on hand, was registered in about ten m inutes. Fam ilies having to declare excess canned food required about twice as much time. R egistration w ent along steadily, w ith very little waiting to receive ration book 2 .

PROTEST MAIL ICURTAILMENT ‘ IBY PETITION

A petition containing the signa­tu re of 373 persons who receive mail a t the Chatsworth post of­fice, protesting the curta ilm ent of the s ta r route m ail service be­tw een Gilman and F orrest, was sent to the Second Assistant Post­m aster General in W ashington this week.

The departm ent advertised for bids for carrying the mail between Gilman and Chatsworth for one trip each week day, bids to be in by March 1st and new deal to s ta r t next July 1st. T7ie theory advanced, we are told, is th a t the cutting down of service will save gasoline and tires and man power.

No m an power would be saved as it is proposed to have the ca r­rie r lay over in C hatsw orth all day. W hat little gasoline and tires th a t m ight be saved would be offset m any times in loss to patrons of the post offices a t L a Hogue, Piper City, C hatsw orth and o ther connecting town*. I f placed in effect it will cu t down the delivery of dally p a p e n and alow up delivery of The Plalmtaal* e r and every o th er i J ix handled on th is route.

Los Angeles, C alif.—TTie City of the Angels—Som e tw o years ago when the firs t edition of our trav e l book w as prin ted and of­fered to the public, I w ro te a colum n dealing w ith Los Angeles in the early days. This column w as a special and was never re ­leased to the papers for publica­tion and as a result its num ber of readers w as sm all in com pari­son w ith a reg u la r release.

In view of th is fact we w o r surprised in checking our files, to find tha t the num ber of re derv who have w ritten in regard ng the veracity of the s ta tem en ts ab.iut Los Angeles in the early days is considerably la rger than the gen­eral average. As a re su 't we are releasing a part of the column for new spaper publication at th s

L C. "LES" ARENDSWork and Pay

All the discussion crea ted by the o rd er increasing the w ork week from 40 to 48 hours, leaves many in Congress in a s ta te of confu­sion. Everyone favors a longer week if necessary to accom plish a job we have to do. T he tim e and one-half pay fo r all hours over 40 (and which in some a rea s and in­dustries m ay increase to 52) is be­ing discussed. Some th ink s tra ig h t pay, fo r all hours, should be suf­ficient. O thers contend th a t tim e and one-half is necessary and v ita l to keep w ork ers on th e ir jobs the required num ber of hours. This argum ent overlooks th e angle of w hat the tru e consequences of such increased pay m ay c rea te . Right now th e fight ag a in st in­flation is a t high pitch- In c reas­ed salaries m ean m ore purchasing power on an ever-declining m a r ­ket of goods available- At the present tim e, the average fac to ry w orkers receives about $40 p er week, as against less th an $25 per week th ree years ago. L iving costs have in th a t space o f tim e risen approxim ately 22% , which indi­cates th a t the fac to ry w o rk er is now' in the favorable position of buying m any m ore goods w ith his weekly pay envelope than he could or did during pre-w ar days. T h ere ­fore, the em phasis falls on the fact th a t th is spread betw een the earn ings an d cost m ust somehow be stabilized. The longer w ork week at tim e and one-half, is estim ated to increase wages 30% . If the W ar L abor Board, through one m eans o r ano ther perm its increas­ed wages, then it follows tha t in­creased taxes and forced w ith ­holdings a re the only m eans at hand to absorb the excess pu rchas­ing power.

*Federal Paymller*

The num ber of F edera l civilian em ployees has now alm ost reach ed the th ree million m ark. T hat, however, is not the "top .” for an o th e r 600,000 are expected to be added during the next fiscal y ea r as follows: 180,000 in the N avy D epartm ent, 360.000 in the W ar D epartm ent and the o th e r 60,000 in the rem aining agencies of the

fixed fee, w e easily can anticipate dear ok! John Q. Public paying th a t much m ore In taxes to defray the coat of such a publication. An­alyzing how much tonnage it will take pe^ year to move all this printed m a tte r abroad, one won­ders if it m ight not be fa r be tte r if space and tonnage were provided for the folks back home to fo r w ard the hom e town paper to the boys overseas. Every .boy in the service, next to le tters from home, wants the town paper to read and it will do f a r m ore good for the m orale of our troops than the sending of propaganda magazines.

★Prisoners fo r Manpower

Lewis E. Lawes, form erly w ar­den a t Sing Sing prison, suggests th a t one reservoir of manpower not presently being tapped is the 150,600 to 175,000 persons now in penitentiaries throughout the country. Amongst this number are m any good mechanics. W ar­den Lawes condemned the fallacy of believing th a t because a man com m itted a crime he is not p a t­riotic. H e sta ted th a t prisoners w ant to do w ar work and do it now. T he warden ventured the assertion th a t out of every one thousand picked prisoners releas­ed now and p u t to useful work, 99 per cen t would cause no trou ­ble. Only those equipped to con­tribu te to the w ar effort might well be released, Mr. Lawes sug­gested.

★Applying fo r F arm Machinery

A com plete copy of "Application for Purchase C ertificate for New F arm M achinery and Equipment," ; was recently placed in the Con-; gressional Record by Congressman Hill of Colorado. His accompany­ing speech had for its purpose the drawing of attention to any and all applicants for machinery, the true significance of what they i were signing. Many signers un- j doubtedly never read such appli­cations in full and might be sur­prised to know they are subject, for any falsehoods o r failure to live up to some promise, to a fine of not m ore than $10,000 or im ­prisonm ent for not nx re than ten years. Such is the case even though they buy and pay for the m achinery through a norm al busi­ness transaction.

L i v i n g s t o n C o u n t y F a r m a n d H o m e B u r e a u N e w sSUPPORT URGED FOR ANTI-RACKET­EERING BILL

Strongly supported by the Am­erican F arm B ureau Federation and all o ther national fa rm organ­izations (except the F arm ers’ Un-

} Ion) is the Hobbs anti-racketeering bill now before Congress. The legislation would subect to • maximum penalty of 20 yea rs’ im­prisonment and a fine of $ 10,000, anyone interfering w ith in tersta te commerce movements during w ar­time.

Labor union leaders a re strong­ly protesting the bill, claiming It is not necessary despite the fact th a t the anti-racketeering ac t of 1934 specifically exempted labor unions. This exemption, held by

-the Supreme C ourt to furnish a legal loophole to union tru ck driv­ers in New York City who halted trucks of farm products entering th e city from out of th e s ta te and hly intim idation compelled the truckers to hire a New York union driver or pay his fee.

Said Mr. Hobbs:"This bill is grounded upon the

bedrock principle th a t crim e is crime, no m a tte r who com m its it, and that robbery is robbery o r ex­tortion is extortion w hether the perpetrato r has a union card in his pocket o r not. The bill does not single out labor racketeers. It merely includes them if they are racketeers and relieves them from th e ir present immunity."

In urging American farm ers to support the bill in a most m ilitant manner, President O 'Neal of AFBF said:

"The Hobbs bill is of vital in ter­est to all farm ers. I t would stop interference w ith the orderly m ar­keting of farm products and put an end to the hi-jacking of farm trucks and o th er forms of robbery, extortion and Intimidation to which farm shippers have been subjected during the high tide of labor terror. Consequently U Is of greatest Im portance th a t s ta te and county F arm Bureau leaders aad farm ers individually In their own self-laterest ra lly to the sup­port of this legislation by writing their congressmen aad senat ors urging Its m a r t m eat. A bill out­lawing crim e certain ly is not ob­jectionable to the rank and file of labor. I t can be objectionable only to those engaged In the crimes it seeks to punish.

LETTUCE PLANTS SHOULD BE SET OUT TH IS MONTH

Illinois people who plan to false their own head lettuce th is year should sow the seeds in m id-Feb­ruary and set the p lan ts In the field early in April, says B. L. W eaver, of the horticulture de­partm ent, University of Illinois College of Agriculture.

Since there a re indications that present high prices and short sup­ply are likely to continue, many yeople will w ant to grow head let­tuce in their garrdens, W eaver said. Judging by the 1942 season there should be a ready, local de­m and for any surplus.

The ground m ay and often does freeze a f te r the p lants have been set, bu t they a re not seriously in­ured if properly conditioned. The first heads a re fully grown and firm by early June, w ith th e h a r­vest lasting only a week to ten days.

P lan ts will head over a tw o or three-week period and since they will not rem ain long In edible con­dition, should be harvested as soon as they are firm . They will keep be tte r in a re frigerato r than in a garden.

Leaves of heading varieties are th icker and coarser th an leaf let­tuce, but m ay be used early in the season and thus save planting two types. Leaves should not be removed from plants which are left to head. P a r t of the planting m ay be harvested In this w ay and the balance left to produce heads.

WHAT SHALL W E EAT?Victory gardens will be em pha­

sized in 1943 as never before, and products from them will be w orth their weight in gold. Government figures on m ilitary demands on the commercial 1943 pack of can­ned fruita and vegetables show tha t about 33 pounds of canned foods will he available for each civilian in 1944. In the prew ar period, we use about 46 pounds. T hat m eans that about one-third of our fru its and vegetables will need to come from victory g a r­dens If we a re to have am ounts sim ilar to the prew ar period. Of course, we would be b e tte r off nu­tritionally if wo used even more, especially more of tomatoes, greens and green and yellow veg­etables, which can be easily grown In the victory garden.

If victory gardens w ere well planned last year, no doubt many hom em akers have supplies of home preserved foods available now. Here a re a few hin ts from the U. S. B ureau of Home Eco­nomics on how to get the most from your vegetables. In p repar­ing canned ones rem em ber to heat they quickly, because they are a l­ready cooked, and use all of the juices. If you a re using some frozen vegetables, do not thaw out first, but s ta rt cooking frozen veg­etables while frozen and cook only till tender. In fact, any vegetable will loae m ore and m ore vitamins the longer It’a exposed to heat- The rule In every household should be “Come and get It, the vegetables are done.” In o ther words, time your food preparation around your vegetable preparation, so tha t If you 're using vegetables from last year's victory garden, you are get­ting every la s t bit of good from them.

Livingston Service Company

" It 's a lot of w ork but It pays big dividends," say Jam es J. H oem er and son, Roy, regarding their plans for 1943 hog production. The “lot of w ork” they 're referring to is the san itation program they follow in raising their pigs. This program includes scrubbing the farrow ing houses thoroughly w ith hot lye water, washing the sow’s udders and having the pigs farrow ed and raised ou t on clean alfalfa pas­ture. Here is the ONLY way to avoid serious pig losses from disease and parasites.

In the top picture, Mr. H oem er Ls hard a t work cleaning out one of their convenient individual far^ rowing houses. This house, along with several o th ­ers will be located on a clean field of alfalfa pasture before the firs t pigs come. The picture in the cen­te r illustrates how their 130 fall pigs were raised by the name method, the pigs having been kept on clean ground all winter.

In the bottom picture Mr. H oem er is shown with one of the several new hog houses built on their farm last fall. This particu lar one is called the "Illinois Sunshnne House.” The house is built

from University plans and Is complete except for placing woven wire across the opening In front. This house is constructed so th a t alm ost the entire front can be opened, thus perm itting a flood of sun­shine that is very helpful to early spring pigs. This house is suitable fo r farrowing purposes and Is ex­cellent for older pigs also.

The H oem ers are Increasing their bog produc­tion from around 10 spring litters In 1942 to 35 or 40 this year. Maybe the fact th a t one Son, Vernon, is serving in the arm y somewhere in the south Pa cific has som ething to do with these patriotic plans to produce more of an essential w ar food. I f all Livingston farm ers would increase pork production even one-third as much as the H oem ers are doing, our county would fa r exceed the 115 per cent in­crease asked for in 1943.

F u rth e r information on hog house plans, swine sanitation and other im portant facts relating to hog production are available a t the Farm Bureau office in Pontiac.

BILL WOULD PREVENT FARM PRICE CEILINGS AT LESS THAN PARITY . |

S trik ing a t OPA’S action in freezing com prices a t below farm level parity Senator Bankhead and Chairm an S teagall of the House Banking and Currency Com m it­tee last Thursday introduced A. F. B. F. sponsored legislation to stop the practice of deducting gov-1 em inen t paym ents when setting price ceiling to reflect parity . Fur-1 ther the bill prohibits the counting of subsidy paym ents in any com -, putation of parity, thus seeking to check the government’s policy of doling out subsidies in lieu of le t­ting prices rise to p a r ity in the open m arket.

When the com ceiling price of $1 a bushel, basis No. 2 com , Chi­cago, was announced. P resident O 'N eal of A. F. B. F., p rotested to Economic Stabilizer B yrnes th a t price ceiling legislation adopted on October 3 forbids placing a ceil­ing on any farm com m odity which will not reflect a parity price to the producer. Mr. Byrnes’ answ er was th a t If government paym ents were taken into consideration, the fa n n e r will receive p a rity under the ceiling. Although there is nothing specifically In th e existing price control legislation to au thor­ize such action, th e CPA has adopted the policy of including subsidy paym ents in fixing ceil­ings on various agricu ltu ra l pro­ducts.

Unjustness of this In terp reta­tion. Mr. O 'Neal said, was evidenc­ed by the fact th a t in th e case of com subsidy, paym ents a re made roughly on only about half o f the crop. Approximately 800,000,000 bushels produced outside the com­m ercial a rea earn no subsidies. N or do subsidies apply to th a t portion of the crop In com m ercial areas which is In excess of the norm al yield o f allo tted acres. A p­proxim ately 25 per cen t of the commercial a rea yield comes in this category so th a t a ltogether about half th e crop ls excluded from parity and soil conservation paym ents. ,

In additions to present commodi­ties frozen below p a rity under OPA’s m isin terpretation of the law, A FB F learned la s t w eek th a t th e sam e paym ent subtractions a re contem plated In fixing other fa rm price ceilings. E nactm ent of

ILLINOIS CO-OP 1943 WOOL POOL PROSPECTS GOOD

W ith wool vitally needed in the w ar effort, Illinois farmers in 1943 are expected to top the 1942 wool pool record of a half million pounds, according to S. F. Russell, secretary m anager of the Illinois Wool M arketing Association, an affilia te of the Illinois A gricultur­al Association.

E arly reports of m arketing in­tentions received by County Farm Bureau wool pools indicate, Rus­sell said, th a t farm ers a re plan­ning to m arket m ore wool cooper­atively this year in order to m ake use of the services of their coop­erative in receiving the proper grade and price for their wool. He said there a re 26 different ceil­ing prices on wool based on the length of staple of wool and grade.

P ractically all of the Illinois wool from the 1942 wool pool ls now sold, Russell said. W ar con­ditions and ceiling prices have been mainly responsible fo r hold­ing up final settlem ent fo r the wool. As soon as the Illinois Wool M arketing Association re­ceives final settlem ent from the National Wool M arketing Corpor­ation, sales agency for the sta te cooperative, checks will be mailed to the growers. Most o f the 1942 wool has been sold a t ceiling pric­es, Russell said.

Russell said he believed that th ere would be an adequate su p ­ply of burlap and paper bags for packaging the 1943 clip.

"F arm ers can only be served by organizations which are m ade up of fa rm people, led by fa rm lead­ers, financed by farm ers entirely and run in th e in terests of the men and women on the fa rm who appreciate th a t the fan n ers’ inter* eats a re best served only w hen so­ciety as a whole la beat served." —Dean Christensen, U niversity of Wisconsin, College of Agriculture, Madison, Wisconsin.

----------------------------------------------W ith incoiri^ tax dipping into

the lower brackets and farm ers’ net income much higher than av­erage, few farm ers a re exempt from filing income tax re tu rns this year. Around 25 Livingston County farm ers have already tak ­en advantage of the free service being provided a t the F arm Bu­reau office in Pontiac in helping fill out the income tax forms. This special service is provided on the firs t 3 days of each week and appointm ents should be made in advance.

F o r the second 8 weeks, W hite Leghorns will need a little more—enough to m ake 1,190 lbs; the heavier breeds 1,380. For growing out broilers, the to ta l am ount needed is between 10 and 1 1 pounds per chide.

• *Tlie num ber of livestock on

farm s Jan. 1,1943, w as a new high record. T he value w as also the highest in history. There were sharp increases in num bers of hogs and ca ttle but some decline in numbers of sheep, horses and mules.

Livestock m arketings have been light in relation to livestock num­bers on farms. Comparing Jan ­uary, 1943, w ith a year earlier, livestock receipts a t 12 public m arkets w ere as follows: cattle, down 3 per cent; calves, down 26 per cent and hogs, down 13 per cent.

• * •There is a lot of publicity about

the struggle in Congress over farm prices. However, we should not forget that probably the two most Im portant problems relating to MAXIMUM farm production year are LABOR and MACHIN­ERY. Even if prices are increas­ed on som e farm products, this would not have m uch bearing on maximum production as would some definite relief from the in­creasing labor and machinery shortage.

• • •The record high income of farm ­

ers last year was not the result of exceptionally high prices for agricultural products but was largely the result of (1 ) an in­crease in effort on the p art of farm ers and, (2 ) the result of very favorable w eather conditions. In o ther words, the increase in the form ers’ irtcome resulted from a very great expansion in output at reasonable prices. I t is fo r this reason tha t farm ers should not be critidzed for their increased in­come.

• • *The long-delayed soybean h a r­

vest is getting under way again on some farm s. One farm er rep o rt­ed 18 p er cent m oisture, 40 per cent dam age and a yield of 15 bu­shels compared to 30 in the sam e field la s t fall. However, these 15 bushels of damaged beans are still w orth m ore to the farm er and to the nation th an turning the crop under. T ests run on the dam aged beans show there’s still a good quantity of oil In them. I t is our patrio tic duty to harvest every acre possible.

Radio broadcasters from city desks a re constantly stating what the young people in the big towns w ant to know first of all is "what are the living conditions on the farm, the hours and the wages.” In a g reat m any cases the farmer might as logically inquire what the novice on the farm would be willing to pay for board The prospective farm hand will have to know before he undertakes his venture into rural life that the conditions a re not exactly silk- lined or gold-plated and that the spare time entertainm ent is not precisely de luxe.

However, some practical solu­tion will undoubtedly be worked out, by a combination of willing­ness to work with ability to ‘‘take it” on the part of the am ateur farmers, coupled with a realization of s tem necessity tempered with good na tu re and infinite patience on the part of the employing farm er.

JUNIOR CLUB MEMBERS HAVE THEATRE PARTY

joke bookLately, while involved In the

earning of his keep, a gentleman from up Harvard university way parted the ivy that grew from his bootheels and issued a learned communique to the good farm ers of Virginia, who were trying to decide how to keep their horses shod on the W PB allotment o horseshoes.

The scholarly professor took these poor ignorant farm ers inti his confidence and publishe 1 fine little booklet, all for therr. and dealing broadly in the art o stretching horseshoes. Provin that the whole problem was verj simple, the educator told th V.r ginia farm ers that great saving: could be effected if they wou’dn' be so danged lazy and s ta rt rotat ing the shoes, much like the. would the tires on their car

For instance, Mr. Farm er, if your horse is bowlegged in front and knockneed behind, the shoe: can be alternated from front tc rear, and get even wear.

How it happened that some farm er didn’t think of the neat lit tie trick suggested by this pro fessor we don’t know. But thanks to the good man we are no longer in the dark. He suggests th a t fu rther savings on the wear and tear of horseshoes can be made if the shoes are removed each night and replaced in the morning.

A fter all, the good professor takes his shoes off each night be­fore retiring, this generally being considered good m anners, so why not teach the horse the same thing 7

W hat is wrong w ith our nation? W hat caused the downfall of the city of Babylon? W hy did God Almighty destroy Sodom and Go­m orrah. Why did God send the flood? W hat caused Lot’s wife to look back? W hat was the re­sult of her looking back? Who does God's word say shall be tu rn ­ed back into hell? W hat did Da­vid do when he thought over his ways? Is it not tim e for this na­tion to think over her ways? Is this a God-fearing nation or, in other words a Bible-Christian nation?

Dear people, there is only one way out of this trouble, and tha t is God's way of life—if it isn't too late; it m ay be th a t we have w ait­ed too long. God help us to go back and get in the righ t road. Won’t our leaders take the lead? O, God, open our eyes th a t we may have a sp iritual vision of the situation th a t we are in.

Preachers, get your eyes open. What can I do to help you ? God Almighty have mercy,. Heal our backsliding.

Chicago — One of th e biggest factors in the unusual record established by the United S ta tes in protecting the health of the armed forces is the fact th a t American camps, barracks and naval train ing stations are the finest equipped from the s tan d ­point of plumbing of any camps in any w ar in the history of the world. There is one shower bath for every 12 m en; one lavatory | and w ater closet fo r every 8 men and laundry tra y In every barracks according to the Plum bing and Heating Industries Bureau. While the plumbing in a rm camps in this w ar sets an unusually high standard, th e basic purpose is not | to provide luxury fo r the men but to protect their health , m orale and efficiency. In every w ar on which there a re records, fr5m the days of Sennacherib onward, the num ber of deaths from disease has exceeded m any tim es the loss­es from killed o r wounded in com ­bat.

ported th a t several students are giving the larger amount of their weekly earnings to the govern m ent, by means of their stam p and bond buying. Nice going, fel­lows and girls! Keep up the good work, and some of the lazy stu ­dents will, perhaps, come to re­alize the im portance of purchasing the bonds of freedom. H ere are the resu lts of the week's buying:

$155.25, counting the faculty’s buying, and a grand to tal of $2,- 261.90 since Septem ber 1st.

—T—LAB NOTES

The General Science class has been using the new atlases and globes whUe studying about la ti­tude and longitude and finding the difference of tim e between Berlin, London, Chicago, Tokyo, and oth­e r places of interest. They have also been doing some experim ents with relative hum idity to find the amount of m oisture In the air.

The Biology class did several very interesting experim ents with eggs obtained from the hatchery a fte r three days’ incubation. At this stage of the heart, the blood vessels show up nicely. We counted the heart beats for one m inute and then m ounted them upon alides to watch the blood cir­cu late in the capillaries. We tim ­ed the hoar} beat and one was still beating a f te r th ree and one-half hours. The o thers cooled o ff and dried out. therefore stopping m ore quickly.

Alsho, we tested samples of our own blood. Some of the boys were very generous donors to the girls who were a bit squeamish about sticking their fingers. We hope the boys didn't suffer any serious a f te r effects.

Bernice Ford brought a small Instrum ent called a View Master, a modern version of the old store- scope. There w ere six reels of sm all colored films w ith views of Hawaii. Each picture was dou­bled bu t when viewed through the lens they m erged and appeared to be only one picture which con­tained depth, seeming to stand out in a lifelike m anner.

We also had two old fashioned ■telescopes w ith slides fo r com­parison to the view m aster. The pupils received an Idea of what their parents and grandparents did on Sunday afternoon instead of attending a show as we do. They stayed home and had a grand tim e looking a t the exciting p ictures ftuch a s W ashington's Monument, the Fourth of Ju ly pa­rade a t G ettysburg o r th e funeral procession o f P resident McKinley.

T he Economics class has been having a series of debates head­ed: “ Resolved: T h at the govern­m ent should own and operate all the ooal mince and oil wells. Those In the A ffirm ative w ere Jad e Hei­ken and Bernice F ord and those in th e Negative w ere Tom Seright and Jeanne K nittes. T he affirm ­ative side won a f te r some convinc­ing argum ents from both sides.

—T -SCRAPS IN SCRIPT:

D ear Fellow Students: H ie ev­ergreen and posts art* still down in front of the school. W hoever is guilty, PLEASE repair the dam ­age.

Two whole days to sleep, or read books for reports or m aybe work on term papers this week. O r did you have spring fever and not care to w ork?

B etter s ta rt saving your money —cause you’re going to need it in about six weeks. The Juniors are practising a play and it promises to be a winner.

Six weeks exam s this week- My how time flies! Ju s t between you and me, I th ink th a t paper ought to be rationed so we couldn’t have so m any exams- Happy thought

isn 't It?On peering into the gym some

of the queerest looking boys are seen. Looking closer—we d is­cover they a re not boys a t a ll— but g irls—showing th a t they can play basket ball, too. Isn 't tha t sweet ?

Oh, and by the way, sham e on those biting basket ball players (girls, of course). We haven’t had first aid enough to know how to tre a t human bites.

—T—ECONOMICS DEBATE

"Resolved: T hat the government should own and operate all the oil wells and coal fields, etc."

On WeAiesday, four m embers of the Economics class engaged in the above debate, two on the a f ­firm ative and two on the negative. H ie non-participants of the class were the judges. Although they listened with no previous preju­dices their decision was an a l­most com plete victory for the a f­firm ative.

May we add, for the benefit of our readers, tha t our class does not lean to socialism o r commun­ism, but the fact is th a t the a r ­guments for government owner­ship were so convincing that the decision of the class was justified

Monday, Feb. 15, 1943—Ju s t a note to express m y appreciation and gratitude to the service kit com m ittee for th e ir fine gift. ^A1 though I have been a t Cam p Sie­bert but a short tim e already I have found m any uses for it. Aside from its u tilitarian value i t is a fine remem brance of the people of Chatsworth.

We a re now organizing a new company to be engaged in chemi­cal w arfare and im pregnating. I know little about it a s yet, but by the end of our basic training per­iod I will be able to say more of it.

I like arm y life very much, but can 't say the sam e for Alabama. The cam p is located in the swamps and a t present it is very cold.

I t 's tim e for chow so I ’ll close, hoping to hear from my many friends in Chatsworth. Believe me when I say the letters from home a re a soldier’s staff of life.

Gratefully yours,
