MEAT FOB FISHERMEN (Fishing fleet crews, deprived of red meet by coupon limitations, are appealing to OPA for relief.?News item.) A fisherman needs his daily meat, He slaves amid wintry scenes; He can't live on hash where nor easters crash, And doesn't eare much for beans. He battles the cold and wintry gales, And harks to the skipper's wish; His appetite is never qnite light, And, boy, he gets sick of fish! Oh, tough is the life on a fishing smack, And hungry the crews do grow; When hauling a net all icy and wet For dainties he'll never go; A fisherman works on a rugged Job, His appetite knows no whims; He Hkes a steak thick, and gets very sick Of any known food that swims. Oh, hard is the life on the ocean cold, A little frees salad? Book! No cheese* on rye will a fisher man's eye fill, And eggplant a la king is punk; So, op with more points for the fish ing lads, And off with the iron lid! Some meat from a cow makes sea faring chow? And yon keep the codfish, kid! * ? ? Bick Home 8tuff. It appears that tripe is coming back. We Jost-read of its reappear ance. A recipe called for its being put in a pot and simmered for two hours, then cut into cubes. ? Phooey! Any ouch preparation would be a violating of the code of the old-fashioned tripe eater. Tripe was a common dish back home in our boyhood. Every butcher market j carried it, good times or bad. And we had.it in our house at least once . a week. But no simmering and no cubes! The orthodox system was to ! cut it in slabs, bread it or roll it in flour and fry it to a golden brown. ( We have never been able to explain ] the decline and fall of honeycomb tripe. But we welcome it back. ? ? ? China officially states that it is . possible to stand an egg on end on ' the first day of spring (Chinese cal endar time).

It is the market and cultural center of an agricul tural section. Its people are of the types found in thousands of similar American country towns. They are frugal and thrifty as individuals and collectively as a community. Anything that would add to their tax burden would receive careful con sideration before a decision to go ahead. Such a proposal as a bond issue of $100,000 for a new school house would be provocative of much discussion. Collectively the people of Ains worth have a debt of $1,300,000 over their heads that they do not consid er, and in the creation of which they had but an imperceptible voice. The portion of the national debt of each of the 800 individuals, men, women and children, of Ainsworth is $1,625, a collective total of $1,300,000. On that they are paying each year $26,000 as interest. Just as the prin cipal and interest on the school house bonds would be paid in taxes they, their children and grandchil dren, will pay their part of the na tional debt, and pay each year that $26,000 interest. They pay it in taxes, both direct and indirect. A part of the price of everything they buy represents taxes paid indirect ly. That $1,300,000 is a bonded in debtedness of Ainsworth, and the in terest is an annual charge against the people of Ainsworth. The same simple principle can be applied to any and every town or city in the United States. It Is only when we break down the staggering sum into individ ual, family or community por tions that we even begin to real ize what tile national debt means. We cannot visualize sums that run into many billions as applying in any way to us as individuals, but they do to the extent, at the present time, of $1,625 for each man, woman and child in the nation. * ? ? U. S. CAN FIGHT AS WELL AS FAT WE MADE WORLD WAR I our fight by declaring war on Germany, and the same is true of this con flict. In World War I England, France and Italy felt, and said, that as we had not paid as heavily in casualties as they had, it was up to America to pay in dollars. In this conflict we are paying both in casualties and in dollars. Four American armies are engaged in the fighting in France and Germany. With these four are associated one Canadian army, one English and one French. On the Italian front there is one American army and one com posed of English, French, Polish, Italian, South African, Indian and Australian troops. It is an Ameri can army that has done most of the fighting in Burma, and General MacArthur's forces in the South Pacific* consist largely of American troops with a sprinkling of Aus tralians. We have fully demon strated that we can fight as well as pay. ? * * POLITICAL PATRONAGE AND BESTOWING OF JOBS POLITICAL PATRONAGE is the privilege of bestowing jobs. Just what effect these jobs may have on any election is anybody's guess. In the years before World War I the number of civilian employees of the federal government was well un der the half million point. During that war the number increased to a bit over 900,000. By 1932 the total had dropped back to 537,000. In 1944 it had climbed again to a bit over 3,200,000. To the extent, what ever it may be, that patronage af fects elections that number could have affected the result of the last election. That number of federal civilian job holders was practically one-third greater than the total of civilian employees of all the states, counties and cities of the nation, in cluding school teachers, police and firemen. You can do your own guess ing. ? ? ? NATIONAL SERVICE ACT THE PRESIDENT and our mili tary and naval leaders said a na tional service act is needed to mora quickly win the war and save Amer ican lives. The labor leaders said they did not want a service act. In rongTess, in which was vested the inal say, many members preferred to follow the labor leaders. Such eaders represented more votes than lid those whose job it is to win the war. What will the people say to hose members at the next congres tional election? ? ? ? THE STARVING PEOPLE OF* 5UROPE are looking to America or food. The American farmer soil tot permit that call to go un inswered. For the farmer the war rill not end with the silencing of the [una. His war job will be far from omplete. To feed the hungry is as mportant as is crushing the nemy. ? ? ? THE LONGER THE WARS LAST he greater our pleasure at their nding, and the more emphatic our Chic Easter Costumes Flaunt Smartest Accessories Ever < ? v ?? By CHERIE NICHOLAS I at new accessories lor the spring, 1945, costume are simply breathtaking, and they are playing a spectacular role in the style parade. So look to your accessories! The chic and the charm of your costume depends upon them. As to whether your Easter cos tume will be a success is for the greater part a matter of the hat you wear, the bag you carry, your gloves, your neckwear, the dash of a flamboyant scarf, the sweet fem ininity of exquisite lingerie accents and the drama of important looking jewelry, the dickey you choose. Your boutonniere or corsage, and the charm of your gay little "hankie" count a lot. Then too,'the footwear that goes stepping in the spring style, parade must be the last word in chic. The ensemble for accessories is the big idea this year. Anything is apt to happen in way of unique en semble technique. For instance, gloves, hat and handbag made of identical print is a combination that gives the suit or coat, no matter how simple and plain, a style distinction that every woman might well covet. Hat and ascot sets made of sequined gingham give a most unique slant on accessory ensembles. A navy suit topped with a sailor hat done in pink-and-navy striped satin with gloves and ascot tie to match takes on drama galore. Like wise the flair for hats matched to dresses and blouses is new and tres chic. In ensembling hat and handbag, milliners like the idea of using straw braid because it is so refreshingly springlike. There is something very attractive about the. hat and bag twosome made of pink straw braid, which is shown above to the left in the illustration. In choosing your accessories it is well to keep in mind that pink in every tone from pale to deep rose is the featured color for costume accents. Many a navy or black suit in the Easter parade V will be highlighted with beguiling pink hats, gloves and other acces sory items. In this instance the hat of pink rough straw braid has a wide band of green grosgrain, a spray of green and white feathers is placed at the back to swirl gracefully down to the tip of the ear. The bag she carries is of matching pink straw. The notable thing about fine lin gerie dickeys and jabots and such is that they are so beguilingly fem inine. This year the accent is on the exquisiteness of the laces and sheer beauty of the dainty embroidery that makes them. The lace gilet with its frill below the waist as shown to the right above is just the satisfying type that the more you wear it the more you like it. It is ideal to wear with one's Easter suit. It has the "lady" look and you'll love it all the spring and summer through, for .the patrician air it will impart to your costumes. There's magic in the new scarfs and it would take a whole book to tell of the remarkable things design ers are doing with them. Could any thing in the way of a hat-and-bag set be more thrilling and eye-com pelling than the stunning twosome shown to the left below? It took two Echo-designed woven, plaid taffeta squares to achieve this gorgeous tur ban and scarf and now that the fad hai started women who have a "knack" are making their own, for it takes but little time to turn a set out, and presto! you have as stun ning a hat and bag to wear with your Easter suit as you can find anywhere, no matter how much you pay. There's a big- vogue on for either check or stripe scarfs this spring. The checked surah ascot to the right tells you how stunning they look. Your Easter suit will take on swank with this scarf. Rttoand by Western Newrpaper Union. Orchid Applique Orchids to you! Which is exact ly what this smart afternoon dress of bottle green crepe with its eye thrUling applique of print orchid cut outs seems to say. The all-in-one treatment of bodice and sleeves is very new and smart. The skirt fea tures a modish side drape. Striking is the use of applkpied orchids at the shonMer and an the bog* felt bag. Mix-and-Match Skirt And Jacket Outfits About the gayest little Easter i. costume one can choose this season can be ensembled right before your very eyes in the mix and match separate-skirt and separate-jacket section. They are being shown on side-by-side racks this season for convenience in selecting which color to mate with which. Skirts used to be mostly of uniform styling. Not this season! Current models are dressmaker styled, sometimes pleated all around and the newest are the side-draped skirts, also the skirt that buttons diagonally across the front. Teen-age are eager for the dirndl types shown in endless variety. The pale pink jacket Is a great favorite with fashion this spring. It is stunning with a navy or black skirt Pink is the color rage this year. Jackets in checks and in plaids, in stripes also are smart style. The off-white jackets are simply exquisite being tailored to a nicety and looking refreshingly new because of tints and tones that are so subtle you'll love 'em. Gleaming Patent Leather For Shoes and Handbags Patent leather Is "it" for foot wear, bags and belts this spring. One handsome beautifully lesigned handbag of gleaming patent with shoes of the same and your costume will take on a patrician air in deed. The patent footwear this spring is positively glamorous. The sandals with their many novel straps and their designful openwork pattanings were never more at tractive. L * ? ,t i kr rft'r: it-ti' -iii f r Wind 3trip-Crpppinff Halt* Blowing of Soil Time at Hand to Plan For Future Protection CHARMERS are making more and 1 more use of wind atrip-cropping to help protect the soil and increaae food production in areas where bare, dry soils are subject to blowing by constant winds of high velocity, ao cording to the War food adminis tration. When the fertile topsoil is removed, productivity of the affect ed land is immediately lowered, and will continue to decrease from year to year unless some means of stop ping the depletion is employed. Wind strip-cropping is the use at alternate strips placed at right an gles to prevailing winds, or in a can tinuous "S," so that the winds can not blow parallel to the rows. Close growing crops such as legumes, grasses and small grains are plant ed in alternate bands with cultivated crops, and when turned under as green manure replace nitrogen, or ganic matter and other plant food essential to fertility. If the strips are laid out on the contour, the wa ter conservation that results will of fer additional help in preventing the soil from blowing; Alternate strips-of summer fallow and grain shorten the distance that loose soil can move during "rest pe riods." When fallow and wheat are stripped together, for example, the stubble left after the wheat hiss been harvested will protect the fallowed land while it renews its fertility in preparation for the new grain crop. The old wheat strip will then go into fallow; in progressive rotation. In many areas where it is especial ly suitable, wind strip-Cropping has replaced the earlier method of al ternating entire fields of fallow and crops. The movement of soil ex posed during winter and spring months is greatly reduced when the land is planted in alternate bands rather than in fields which would be open to the wind. The danger and severity of the winds must be taken into considera tion in planning the width of the strips. The stronger the blowing, the narrower the strips required to counteract its effect. Many barren wastes in America could be completely salvaged by proper wind strip-cropping. /*THAMK ftOOftNSSS !>? ( FINISHED WIND STRIP-CROPPING ) V- MV MAM/ J Plant Windbreaks Now.
