Department of Agriculture, with grapefruit, onions, cabbage, and carrots moving into the lineup of fresh fruits and -vegetables. Miss Betty Matheson, home demon stration agent for the State Col lege Extension service, said here this week. Sweet potato harvesting will reach its peak in October to put the potatoes on retail markets in seasonallv plentiful supply," she said. Towl production this year, she added, will be leas than last year and below the ten-year average, but supplies most likely will be plentiful during and im mediately after harvest. Other new additions to the plentiful list for October include cranberries, tree nuts ? pecans, walnuts, filberts, and almonds ? prunes, raisins, dried figs, and canned apricots, the home agent said. Though October harvests will put new plentifuls on the mar ket, Miss Matheson called at tention to the excellent supplies of canned citrus, apple, and tomato products, fruit spreads, honey, and peanut butter which will be on retail markets during the next 30 days.

Washington is growing jittery over a possible sudden war with Russia. Once again, for the second time in a month, the -atmosphere has sud denly darkened. One reason resi dents here think about a war more than the average citizen in smaller towns is the almost cer tain prospect that the national Capitol will be raided in the next war. Distances over the oceans no longer are the standard * dis tances between countries. From Russia to the United States, over the Arctic Circle, is the shortest and probable route of Red at tackers in the event of war. After the three western powers broke off negotiations for settle ment of the Berlin crisis, the of ficial attitude here became very pessimistic. States Department officials admit, for the first time, thafc if the Russians try to take over Berlin ? by force ? it will mean war. Britain and France are described as resolute in this mat ter also. Owners of hotels, houses and business establishments in Wash ington seriously wonder if they will be bombed any time soon. War talk in the past two years seems to have disturbed them little up until the present. Now, war would be taken almost with a European attitude here in Washington. Europeans have long since learned to take wars as natural cycles of history. Notes being exchanged be tween the State Department and the Soviet Embassy here are transmitted in a cold, unfriendly way. The door at the Russian Embassy usually opens only . a few inches for messages, a hand emerges, and take it from the waiting messenger. There is no cordiality between Reds and Americans ? except at formal functions which demand same. Official concern is being ex pressed now about the situation in China. The Reds attacking China from the north have de feated Chinese troops and oc cupied millions of square miles of valuable and strategic Chinese territory. The Reds have almost done what the Japs tried for ten years to do? but the Reds have gotten away almost scot free. Their threat to China's indepen dence is now termed vital to the entire world situation, Ameri cans in China have reported. This growing Red menace, Washingtonians have watched for a long time. Now that war appears definitely possible with out any advance notice, they are thinking about homes, children, buildings, and where to go whan war is declared. No one wants to be sight swing at the Capitol Am day wir is declared. "| I ' . Major Leagues Have Noted Year Washington, D. C. ? There were quite a few interesting de velopments during the year in the major leagues. Night base ball seemed to finally take over the most stubborn clubs, such as Detroit. The baseball played during the season just ended was a better brand than that Of last year. And attendance records fell again. Other minor highlights ware such things ar the Philadelphia Athletics' amazing spurt to the top of the American League last summer? and their holding first place for quite a while. The A's ran winning streaks into two numbers, and had they possess ed one standout relief hurler in the last three months of play, WQuM have won the pennant. Connler Mack Almopt surprised but world this past season! "?Over in the Nation*!, Billy Southworth must be given anoth er round of applause. South worth seemed to prove, in the closing season, that he w?s about tops as managers go. He can do it with birds or braves or mir rows. A manager like Southworth should be worth $150,000 to a team like the Cuba, or Tigers, or Giants. That is a salary of $150, 000 per year, not. his sale ? which would be even more. Both Burt Snotton and I^eo Durocher gave their clubs a brief spurt, but neither could overhaul ' Southworth's flying Braves. The Cards and Dodgers came nearer HwaiHwg the pen nant winners than anyone else. But in each instance the Braves came back to tame their tormen tors. First the Cards, and then the Dodgers, seemed to* have the Indian sign on the Braves. But Sain and Spahn stopped that after a tew losses. The Cleveland Indiana were a real surprise. Either the Boston Red Sox's or the New York Yankees were expected to halt Cleveland. But Lou Boudreau finally got his bilnch Jumping, and they proved better than most observers had guessed. Bos ton, however, handled Cleveland (airly well until the two teams' last meeting. f" Feller lost a lot of fans during the season ? what with another dodge of the All-Star game. Detroit sorely needs a mana ger. Washington needs more ex penditures- for players. In the National the. Cubs need a manager. The Cards B?ed eith er a manager or drastic reshuf fling. The Pirates need more fire ? were a good team tnis year, but lacked fire for a win ning streak. The Reds need new material. Southworth will pro bably need added material next year if he is to win again. They'll be gunning for him then and Sain and Spahn might falter. Harris Speaks at Blowing Rock Dr. Stanley A. Harris, presi dent of the Boone Rotary Club, was the speaker at the Blowing Rock Club Friday night. He| praised Blowing Rock for its nice hotels and clean business district, but insisted that the real strength of a community lay in its citi zens. He urged the club and its members to develop an adequate youth program. He especially stressed the Boy Scout program and said every youth should have the opportunity to be a Scout. "Scouting," said Dr. Harris "builds character, the most essen tial element in citizenship. Scout ing builds leadership, which is today the world's greatest need. Scouting builds Democracy and teaches Scouts to be interested in everybody in the community." Complimenting the youth of today he asserted, "it is the most honest, the moat intelligent, and the most daring youth in the his tory of the world," but he stress ed, "this very honesty, this in telligence, this daring, may be a liability to America unless it is trained, guided and directed. Give the youth of America the leader ship it deserves and it will make of America the grand old nation of which we've dreamed. If it gets the wrong leadership it may de stroy America."
