Second Battle of Marne.
Hitler's position today is not un
like that of Germany after the
Battle of the Marne in World War
I. In the first Battle of the Marne
German troops came within 14 miles
of Paris, could have taken the city
had they not stopped to consoli
date their forces. But not knowing
what lav ahead, they waited for re
inforcements, giving General Joffre
time to send his "taxicab army
from Paris.
German defeat at the Marne
turned back the tide of the war in
1914. and bv the time the German
army had come back for the sec
ond Battle of the Marne in 1915, the
Allies had mobilized sufficient
strength to stop them.
Similarly, Hitler's forces last
summer probably could have taken
England had they pushed immedi
ately across the channel to the dis
organized British Isles after the fall
of France. But uncertain of what
lay ahead, Hitler waited, and with
typical German efficiency consoli
dated his position on the Continent.
This gave the British just enough
time to hold back a Nazi invasion
last September in the first "Battle
of the Marne," 1940 version.
Soon will come the Second Battle
of the 1941 Marne the second at
tempt to invade England. Into that
second attempt Hitler is going to
put more than ever before. He may
succeed. But on the other hand,
the British are in a far stronger
position now to withstand invasion,
and If they do withstand it, sooner
or later the war will veer toward
them.
$30 PENSIONS
Mrs. Roosevelt's recent statement
in a pension magazine, favoring a
$30-a-month federal pension, tips off
what the President has up his sleeve
on broadening the Social Security
act.
During the 1940 campaign and in
his annual message to congress, he
advocated a revision of the law by
which a flat federal pension would
be substituted for the existing state
contributory system. Also he pro
posed enlarging the scope of the law
and adding mediral features. He
gave no details, but here is what
he is planning:
(1) A federal annuity for all
"senior citizens" over 65, without a
"means test"; in other words, re
gardless of their financial condition.
(2) In states where a larger pen
sion already is paid, as in Califor
nia, which pays $40 monthly (half
from the state and half from the
government) , the difference be
tween $30 and the larger sum would
be made up by the state. This
would apply only to California, the
only state paying more than $30.
The next closest is Colorado with
$29.68. Twenty-one others pay $20
or .slightly more.
(3) Extend unemployment insur
ance to groups not now covered,
such as seamen and farm workers.
(4) A nation-wide program of
medical and hospital service for
low-income groups.
Roosevelt will submit his recom
mendations in a special message to
pnnnrcss sometime this month, tie

The purpose of the trip was to
acquaint members with thti water
fowl wintering on tbe refuge.
Whistling swan, Canada' geese, and
1 1 kind if s of ducks were observed
as well as many other non-game
birds seme GO species in all.
According to the "iuvuntory"
taken since the close of the hun'.
i?if soason. wildfowl on the Matta
muskeet refuge this winter include
about 20,000 Canada geese, some
2,700 Whistling swans and a large
number of ducks, The most abun

Af the start of another tobacco
growing season in N'orth Carolina,
L. T. Weeks, Extension Specialist
of N. C. State College, calls to the
attention of farmers the ,-esuius ox
experiments and demottratioiH
proving the value of crop rotations
in controlling disease outbreaks.
"Rotating crops is probably the
oldest way of trying to keep down
tobacco diseases, and certainly it is
the most common," Weens said.
"However, really effective disease
control can be accomplished ou;;'
by intelligent rotation adjusted to
specific disease-control problems.
In other words, just hit-or-miss ro
tation f or any and all tobacco
troubles won't do. Different dis
eases call for different crop rotations."
Thp specialist cited as an exam-
nle that bare fallowing is no help
at. all in clearing up soil infesta
tion with Granville wilt. To con
trol that disease the land, after a
crop of tobacco, needs to be cropp
ed to corn, velvet beans or soy
beans, cowpeas, small grain, or
grasses.
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture reports that tests on Gran
ville wilt at Creedmore in Gran
ville County showed the value of
the tobacco crop in various rota
tions ranged from nothing with
continuous tobaseo, to $120 an
acre for tobacco after ret'top and
$129 for tobacco after corn.
"On the other hand." Weeks
said, "bare fallowing- is very ef
fective with root knot disease.
Soil infested with root knot is re
duced most rapidly with such crops
as peanuts, velvet beans, small
trains, crotralaria. and native
r, -
weeds.

There's no danger of most farm
families iroine hungry this winter,
says Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris, Ex
tension economist of N. C. State
College in food conservation and
marketing. She reports that 7,
621,702 containers of fruits, veg
ntjihles. -meats, and jellies wera
canned last year by farm families
who were assisted with their food
conservation problem by home
demonstration agents.
These products were valued at
$1,141,513.40 A few more than
13,000 families filled h canned
food budget, and 2,000 other fam
i ;es made a canned food budget
and succeeded in partially filling
t.
Mrs. Morris says that 1940 w.".s
ne of the most successful years hi
;e history of home canning work
in North Carolina. Only in 1932,
the peak of the depression when
11,570,950 containers of for d were
it up, and in 1917, the World
War year when 8,778,262 contain
ers were canned, were more cans
of food produces put in storage &
the beginnig of the winter.
In 1912, when canning work
with organized groups of farm wo
men began, only 33,019 containers
of food were conserved. The gain
l,a hpen stead v with periods of
world unrest and economic disturb
ances naturally promoting the
greatest amount of food conserva
tion.
The Extension specialist further
reported that 1,105 pressure can-
ners were bought by Home uem-
onstration Club women last year,
to add to 6,428 already m use nt
the start of 1940. This makes a
tntaX of 7.533 of these useful ear
ning devices in the homes ot cluo
women. They are frequently
loaned out to neighbors and fellow
club members, and a number of
the pressure canners are o,vned'l
groups of farm women.

' OVEMENTS for the public good are
, frequently launched with great en-;

sustained effort is lacking.
This is not true of the North Carolina beer in
dustry's program to improve conditions in retail
outlets.
Prosecuted with diligent effort since its launching
in May, 1939, our Committee's "clean up or
close up" campaign in North Carolina has won
the praise and support of law enforcement of
ficers, the press and public. During the past 2 1
months the state's beer industry has proved its
sincerity of purpose by a consistent record of
direct action and results.
The record: 1,537 retail beer outlets investi
gated; 203 warned to improve conditions. We
reported 176 to the authorities for action; as a
result 1 2 1 licenses were revoked, 1 0 placed on
probation, 2 surrendered their licenses, and 2S
license renewals were refused.
