Those in Lincolnton who wish to profit by mistakes might like to know the four common errors made by Vic tory gardeners of last year; poor planting, which means too much of a certain crop came up at one time and made too long a stretch between with nothing to h|arvest; poor timing, so that early crops were planted too late and some of the more tender crops were planted too early; cov ering small seeds too deep and sowing too thickly; fail ing to control insects. So ex perience teaches us if we won’t take our lessons from a book or our neighbor’s ad vice. If blunders of last year were discovered at that time, we have already corrected them for this year and expect to better our crops in order to “grow more in ’44.’’ WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO LAND? There’s a lot of talk about the days after the war when airplanes will be as common as automobiles. Airlines have announced plans for the big gest ships yet dreamed of, and airplane manufacturers have progressive ideas about fool proof planes that anyone can operate. This kind of thinking puts the cart before the horse, in the opinion of George W. Wil son, vice-president of the In ternational Correspondence Schools, wh/o has long been concerned with development of air transportation He points out that more airports must come before more planes. “Airports are as much a prerequisite to the growth of aviation as were better roads i to the expansion of automobile travel after World War I,” says Mr. Wilson, and he urges communities of all sizes to be gin their airport planning now. To indicate the magnitude of the job, he adds: “The need for new airports varies from the vast metropolitan fields of thie future, to be used by trans continental and even trans oceanic transports, to the grass-covered runways where neighboring commuters or far mers will take off from outly ing sections for their day in town.” By the nature of their busi ness, officials of the Interna tional Correspondence Schools have to anticipate all kinds of industrial developments with a fair accuracy in order to keep the training they offer in line with industrial needs, and Mr. Wilson is speaking of a field of development in which; he has taken an especially active part. His picture of postwar towns may be breath-taking, but it is no pipe dream. He is speaking as a practical man urging the rest of us to be equally as practical. Mr. Wilson believes that the great metropolitan ports must be “nearer the heart of things” to save time otherwise lost on both ends of a speedy air trip. In other words, civic planning authorities face the task of opening up areas of 2,- 000 acres adjacent to business districts, wit it runways up to 8,000 feet in length. Look around any crowded busy town and figure that one out. The planning, as Mr. Wil son points out, must include parking arrangements pos sibly vertical stacking racks or underground ramps similar to those built in England and on the Continent to protect armed fighters and bombers from air attacks. In this way, the entire under surface of the fields could be used like hanger decks aboard aircraft carriers. The practical, business-like nature of such planning is a reminder of days when we used to wag our heads at startling changes and mutter, “The world certainly does move!” We can’t say that now. The world doesn’t move—it! I flies. Vote For RALPH MCDONALD IN THE Democratic Primary May 2 7 th ★★★r ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ''' \ ★ ★ ★ A CANDIDATE WITH A SOUND AND JL tf* !
