A FALL GARDEN WILL
AID THE WAR EFFORT
We are sure that you can appreci
ate the serious need for more home
grown vegetables to be produced in
order that processed vegetables be
made available to meet the increased
future demands in 1944-45 by our
armed forces, our allies, the people
of conquered countries and for fam
ilies who cannot produce their own.
Having a good fall garden will
mean more fresh vegetables for your
family, saving points in the ration
book, and saving the present supply
of canned vegetables for future use.
The Food Production Committee
of the Moore County Nutrition Coun
cil urges that fall gardens be plant
ed by everyone, who possibly can,
not only as a patriotic backing of our
armed forces, but also for
better family diet and health.
There is still time to grow some
or all of the following vegetables:
beets, carrots, collards (plants), cel
ery (plants), kale, lettuce, tender-
greens, onions (sets,), spinach, snap
beans, turnips, tofnatoes, (plants),
and rutabagas.
A suggested inexpensive fertilizer
consisting of 100 pounds of super
phosphate added to 1,000 pounds, or
1 one horse wagon load of horse
manure can be used. Or poultry
manure 800 pounds, super-phosphate
75 pounds, muriate of potash 18
pounds.
Let’s back the attack with some
thing besides “tobac”.

ON SEEING CLEARLY
Taking a short bus trip the other
day, I found the bus jammed and
stood up front near the driver. I
didn’t mind, because we’re friends of
long standing and always have a
good visit.
Glancing out, I asked curiously,
“Do you ever get tired of the
scenery?’’
He' followed my gaze- “You
know.” he said, “I’ve been traveling
this route 19 years and I see some
thing new every day.”
He’s lucky.
I’m afraid most of us travel along
our daily routine yfear in and year
out and seldom see the scenery at
all, we’re so used to it.
Someone in a book remarked that
approaching death makes a back
ground against which a familiar
figure is suddenly etched in sharper
clearer values.
I know it’s the same way with my
own home. Home is never so beau
tiful and precious to me as when I
am about to leave it. I go from room
to room. I try to remember why
I wanted to go away.
But when I come back—well, it’s
just home, with that chair in the
living room still shabby and the
kitchen faucet leaking and the same
old pUe of magazines I’ve been
meaning to give away.
It’s too bad that we live so much
in the half-light of unawareness.
Especially when life is so rich, so
free as in this great country of ours.
That is why the boys who have had
to go away see its value and its
beauty now so much more clearly
than we who are left at home.

Silas Clay is complaining that
bis wife’s new hat cost more
than a buU calf. “And I wouldn’t
mind it, if it was a hat,” he says,
“but all it is, is a small bow and
a piece of feather.”
“It isn’t the size of the hat
that counts,” says Bivon Harp,
reproachfully.
“Well, what is it that counts?”

“I’ll tell you what it is that
counts,” says Doc. “It’s the lift
that a new hat gives to any

From where I sit Doc has
given us a mighty good defini

especially important in these

Ability and RespensIblUty
Xll^HEN a particularly tough and important job come.*
along, it usually lands in the la'p of someone who is
already doing a lot of other jobs well.
People like this—who are used to getting results—aren’t
too plentiful. They need to have both ahility and a sense of
responstbiMy. One alone won’t do—for ability can sometimes
be misdirected, and a sense of responsibility without ability
can lead to troublesome meddling. ^
It’s men with this combination of talents who have been
Mrrying a heavy load on the home front these past few years
On the farm and in industry they’ve been meeting—and
solving—the difficult wartime problems of production.
After the war is won, somebody must shoulder the equally
big job of getting this nation back into peacetime production
of laying the groundwork for the better and more prosperous
America we all want. This is a challenge, and an opportunity,
for the producers of America—for the men and women who
have a sense of responsibility and have shown their ability
to get things done. General Electric Co., Schenectady. N. Y.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS . .7
M
Avr
“ The more / read about it. Judge, the more 1
realize the tactics and requirements of this war
are as different from the one 1 Sought in 25
years ago as night is from day.”
'Yes, and I can give you an example of
how true that is, Fred. In World War I the
chief uses of alcohol produced for war pur
poses were found in smokeless powder, medi
cal supplies and chemical warfare materials.
In this war the need for this product is far
more vital because it is also used as a fuel to
propel torpedoes, to make shatterproof glass
for airplane windshields and instrument cov
ers, to make lacquers used in camouflaging
equipment ^d as a base for synthetic rubber
needed for tires, gas masks, paratroop equip
ment and dozens,of other things.
“Every time I think of it, Fred, I realize
how fortunate we were in having a beverage
distilling industry in existence when war
broke out... ready and eager to convert
100% to the production of this critically
needed war product. I’m mighty sure boot-
ledgers wouldn’t have been of much help.”
