-The text of President Roose
' Vt-lt's 'aildress follows t
,fl li.'ue gladly accepted the in
vitation to say a few words on
this program launching the annual
roll -rail of. the American Red
' Cross. 1 join
this appeal be
cause the president of the United
States also is president of the
American Red Cross. Moreover, 1
believe with heart and soul that all
of us Americans should do every
thing ye can to support an organi
zation of such Vital importance to
our people.1. ''
Individual Responsibility
"Knowledge of our individual re
sponsibility toward the national and
international Services of the Red
Cross, is always essential to the
success of these ministrations- of
mercy. We should bear in mind
that,, during the roll call, the Red
Cross does not ask us to make -a
mere donation. It invites. us to join
to take our place in the legion
of. men and women ' of good will
vvlio make the Red Cross one of
our strongest shields against the
.forces, of destruction whether ac
tivated by nature or man. We must
realise that regardless of race,
creed, or color, the Red C ross
deeply matters, to us, as indivi
duals, in a world darkened by con
ilict aird; misery; '
"The Red, Ctross stands upon a
remarkable record of service to
humanity. Founded in 1S81 and
chartered by congress in 1905 as
our national voluntary relief agen
cy, the American Red Cross has
played' a conspicuous part iin re
lieving the distress which has fol
lowed every national disiaster. The
growth of its services to the na
tion has been, in direct proportion
to the growing confidence of the
American people in its ability to
respond swiftly and competently to
emergency situations. '
Unusual Number Of Appeals
'"The Red Cross this year is be
ing called upon to meet an un
usual number of appeals for aid
from every quarter. Because our
Red Cross is a 'member .o-f the
large family of Red Cross societies
who, in time of war join with ' the
neutral International Red Cross in
Gpneva in the alleviation of suffer
ing caused 'by war, the conflict in
Europe has brought added respon
sibililies to our national organiza
tion.' We of this fortunate country
are already doing much, in the
name of humanity, on behalf of the
unfortunate victims of this un
happy conflict. 1 am sure you
would not want it otherwise, and
when the time comes- for the Red
Cross to ask your help to continue
this work I am confident of your
sympathetic response,
"Equally important, however, "is
the year-in and year-out battle of
our Red Cross to preserve life and
health here at home. The psy
chology of hate and destruction so
rampant today makes it too easy
to forget that while war is not a
human ' necessity ' neither are the
prcventaDie ueatns wnicn narm a
nation at peace. It is essential,
therefore, that the Red Cross con-,
tinue its efforts to reduce the
number of avoidable accidents and
illness which yearly take the lives
of hundreds of thousands of Amer
icans. Must Keep Prepared
"To make this possible we must
keep our Red Cross prepared
through memberships and contri
butions to meet any and all emer
gencies, whether at home or abroad.
The annual roll call of the Amer
ican Red Cross begins today,
Armistice day, but there can be no
armistice in our war against need
and human suffering.
"We have been told many times
that it is our Red Cross, that it is
our voluntary agency for the re
lief and prevention of suffering of
our neighbors at home and abroad
and, perhaps, of- ourselves. I
would like to underscore the truth
of that statement. It is our Red
Cross, yours and mine. It needs
our warm-hearted, generous, typic
allv American support. iJoth as
chief executive and as a fellow
citizen I urge you to join during
the' roll call to join now, and to
do your bit".
Ashes of Japanese Soldiers Home for Last Rites

Japanese priests are shown receiving: the remains of hundreds of soldiers who died fighting in China or
on the Mongolian border. It is a familiar sight at railway stations throughout Japan as the ashes of the
country's soldiers come home in small white boxes. To the surprise of many, army officials announced that
18,000 Japanese casualties had resulted in the few weeks of fighting with Soviet troops along the Manchukuo
Outer Mongolia border before truce was declared.

finest submarines, is prepared for whatever may come. Here la a graphic idea of the fighting technique of an
undersea warship. Upper left: Brains of the submarine is the man at the periscope. He navigates her into
firing position. Upper right) Here's what the navigator sees. The periscope's crossed lines spot the target, the
"ladder" gives him the range. Lower left: The torpedo crew slides one of the deadly "fish" into Its tube.
Lower right: The torpedo is in place and all is set for the order to "fire!"

State College Answers
Timely Farm Questions
. Q. How can I keep skippers and
other insects out of cured meat?
A. Me sure that the meat is pro
tected from flies and you will have
no irouDie witn meat insects, n
the smokehouse is screened with
No. 16 copper wire and well venti
lated, the meat may be allowed to
hang there until used without
danger. If screening is not pos
sible, as soon ' as the meat is
smoked each piece should be wrap
ped separately in heavy wrapping
paper, dropped in a thin cloth bag
which should be tied securely, and
hung in a cool, well-ventilated
smokehouse or cellar. This should
be done as soon as the meat is
smoked to suit taste.
Q. What arc the best size and
age trees to plant in starting a
peach orchard ?
A. One-year old trees, .three to
four feet tall and measuring seven
to eight-sixteenths are preferred
as these trees can be headed high
er at planting time than smaller
trees and will develop the main
branches at a greater distance from
the ground. Some growers plant
June budded trees, but these often
branch so near the ground that
the scaffold limbs cannot be estab
lished high enough up to permit
of proper cultivation. Trees having
enlargements or wart like knobs
on the larger roots or main stem
just below the ground should not
be planted.
Q. How many old hens should
be carried over for the next lay
ing flock?
A. Many farm flock owners fol
low a practice of not keeping any
hens more than two, laying years,
but breeding farms sometimes keep
an average of from 30 to CO per
cent of the hens from cue year to
the next. Select old hens usually
are superior to medium pullets, and
from a breeding standpoint are
very' desirable to have in the flock.
Under no conditions should hens
with short, shallow, and narrow
bodies be kept in the laying flock
as these birds are poor layers' and
will transmit these qualities to
tne ompring.
C. I'arrish, extension poultry spe
cialist at State college.
It the. grower expects to sav
ins own hatching eggs for incuba
tion, and this is the wisest prac
tice where good birds are kept,
then marketing time is also selec
tion ' time, Parrish declared, Th
flock should be culled carefully to
keep the very best of the hen
turkeys for the breeding flock an
perhaps a few choice toms for mat
iug with these, or for exchange.
' The extension poultryman advis:
cd turkey growers to weigh- the
quality of their flock carefully
before deciding whether to buy
hatching eggs or to raise them
from the old flock. "The safest
way of introducing new blood into
the flock is through eggs from a
reliable breeder whose flock is
healthy and vigorous," he said
"The next safest way is to buy
poults and keep them separated
for a time to allow any disease
to make itself evident. Buying
mature birds adds some risk of
introducing disease or parasites."
Turkeys held over for . breeding
purposes should be handled under
slightly different system from
birds fattened for Sale, Parrish
stated. He recommends a good
standard growing mash and a mix
ed scratch grain containng not
more than one .- third corn. Th
mash should be well balanced.
At . i
vuoui iour weeKs Oetore cee
production usually starts, the birds
selected as breeders should go on
an even richer breeder diet, a mash
that contains more vitamins, more
mineral, and more protein than
the growing diet, and with grain
limited to one-fifth pound a day
tor each bird.
November Critical
Month For Turkeys
Cartoonists picture November and
December as the critical time for
the turkey who struts under the
shadow of the upraised axe. It is
also a critical time for turkey
growers and turkey breeders, says
Forest Service Issues
Folder For Hunters
Of special interest to big game
hunters in the South is a folder
recently issued by the Southern
Region of the U. S. forest service.
This folder shows by sketches and
text what equipment to take on a
big game hunt, the best 'methods
of hanging and dressing a deer,
and how to skin a head for mount
ing. Also included are suggested
precautions against forest fires.
wiiien each year destroy game and
other torms of wildlife and de
crease their supply of food. As the
hunting season in the South coin
cides with dry fall weather when
the danger of forest fires reaches
a peak, the forest service urges
all hunters and other visitors to
the forests to be very careful not
to start fires by discarding matches
and cigarettes before tbey are dead
out, to never leave campfires un
attended, and to drown every spark
before leaving camp.

tained free cf charge by addressing
