It is mere ly a pmrt tlii.f . at this point, calls for pointing out. To come directly to the point, these victory gardens are in some respects a menace. Such a sene'al statement. I realize, needs substantiating. There is a-tvple evidence to back it up. and I sub.rit it for your consideration. But I warn you. I am merely presenting it. I know of no rem-.-dy. Just three days ago. as I was walk ing (oriskly) back t i the office after luncheon, what should I see but two men. possibly a father and son, loiter ing in front nf the wind- nf a hard ware store. What were they looking at? Nothing more nor less than gar den t ols. They were looking with the eagerness of small boys picking out baseball and bat. They were look ing over the display, tool by tool, and figuring out just how many they could use. Granted that -e must have victory gardens, we must also have i ffice and factory workers and they must be had adequately, we ar; tolH. Now. one of two thinrs was happening on that noon hour. (One customarily eats during this period.) Either some good man-hours were being lost at desk or machine, or two w irkers were going to return to their respective du ties, hungry. They couldn't have had lunch and that long look at garden tools in the same 60 minutes. Another bit of evidence is the pota to shortage. They say it's because the Army needs what potatoes there are and lhat the new crop has not come in from the South. That may be all very well, but while the housewife is denied potatoes for her table, her hus band can get them for his victory gar ! t'ARl OK APPRtX I ATION The wi;low, brothers ;md sisters of the late Marvin Mi-Gill ('ceply appro ciate the many kindne-scs shown them at the time of his death and funeral.

It will be nioie profitable to die; in the gardens than to suend the rest nf the ' day sitting around, talking about the r and of course that's just what w ill happen. Can't you see what this gar dining is doing to business? If there were only one o- two vic tory gardeners in the office, they could be segregated and allowed to talk it 'out. but there are hundreds of them. Every time you turn around, you're liable to step on one. They have little gardens and big. One is putting his whole plot into tomatoes, another is growing an entire vegetable salad. Some are trying it for the first time. Others have entertaining tales to tell about gardening down on the farm when they were boys. Of course some of the men and women, too talk as though this vic tory gardening were hard work, but they don't really think so. No. sir, they're just having a chance to do what they've wanted to do all along, but didn't have the courage to because everybody else was out speeding along the highways in motor cars, so they they just naturally joined the motor parade. But now. given their chance, it looks as though they might have been permanently converted into stay ! at-h;ime gerdeners that they would keep on gardening after the w ar. too. Just think what this would mean: our million-dollar highways crumbl iing into disuse bec-ause Mr. and M s. America preferred walking behind behind the plow to riding behind the aut. 'mobile wheel. As I explained in the first place. 1 am only bringing this to your attention I have no remedy, but as you dig and spade and hoe, you might be thinking what a menace this old-fashioned, down-to-earth method of growing what you eat is to many cherished modes of modern life.

Itcduced to its predictable effect on the moot question of the co ning Prcs id' iili.il campaign, th fourth-term enigma, the proposed constitutional amendment limiting presidential ten-' are to two terms or parts of terms hoks mors like an antififth term than an anti-fourth term move. There is evidence it is so viewed by some indent fourth-term advocates. They are inclined to regard it as calcu lnted to strengthen rather than weak en Roosevelt fourth-term sentiment in the country. Too Late. It is practically impossible that the amendments could become effective before the 1944 elections. Its author, Senator Bailey. North Carolina Dem ociat. has safeguarded it against re troactive application as an ouster to Mr. Roosevelt if he should run a louith t-rm. however, it would bar a tilth-term Roosevelt candidacy. Anti-Toii! th termers. Republican or Denioci atie. appear to be relying lar gely mi their hopes for substantial evi dence of public disfav or for multiple White House terns for any effect the Bailey proposal might have on Mr. Roosevelt's decision or on Democratic Presidential ticket making next year. There is no question of smouldering opposition to a furth term in Demo cratic congressional ranks and among party tigurts of consequence outside Washington. future Moves. It remains to be seen, however, just how far any Democrat might care to go in voicing that opposition at sched uled Senate subcommitttee hearings.

CONSUMER CONTROLS I PRICKS. i Your government is doing every -' thing it can to curb inflation by put . ting ceiling prices on m,st essential ; foods. Keeping these prices in line, j lies with the Consumer. j The person who pays more ceiling prices is cutting the j fortunate person out of having commodity. When people go out into ! country for country produce ; as hams, chickens, eggs, butter than . It ss that the; such ' and ' ! the farmer asks above the ceiling price, knowing that these people will pay it the people who pay these prices are the sinners. This : encourages the Black Market and j starts it. One woman was heard to ' remark that she wouldn't think of I calling a certain merchant's attent- ion to the fact that he w as charging too much "because." she said, "he i never would let me have any more ', meat." 1 In many communites now, plain ; clothes policemen are buying and ask ing prices and arrests are being made if one penny more than ceiling price i is asked. ' It is the duty of the Consumer to KNOW what she is supposed to pay and pay no more than that even if she has the money to pay for it and will have to d i without it. Any person selling food above the c iling price, individual or merchants can be indicted. If a farmer isn't wil ling to take ceiling price, then its HIS : priviledge not to sell his produce. Find out the ceiling price for hams, ' fryers, and hens before you go to buy. These prices will be published from , time to time in the News-Journal.
