(U.P.) The oldfashioned smudge pot, used to keep pranges from freezing during cold nights, will be a back number, if Paul C. Weeks' invention is a success. Weeks, who runs a Redlands welding shop, has devised a system of pipes carrying compressed air to protect the fruit.

He would bury the pipes six feet in the ground where the temperature is always 73, and use nozzles to squirt the warmed air up beneath each tree. Dan Schacht, orange grower, is going to test the system on half an acre of his ground. -Tuesday is Super Value DayWe All Got Rhythm Educator Contends By United Press CHICAGO (U.P.) A music educator says the song "I Got Rhythm" applies to everyone. No one is born entirely without rhythm, according to Dean John W. Beattie, of the Northwestern University School of Music.

Beattie says some children become "rhythmless adults," because teachers try to make them sing before they are ready. He says youngsters should be encouraged to move rhythmically before they're taught to sing. --Tuesday is Super Value Day- EW YORK-In the course of a lengthy and NE reasonably honorable newspaper career, I have been exposed to an endless stream of free offers, bribes and gaudy promises in this town, and being human or nearly so, I have accepted some and turned others down. Free tickets to the ball games, I snatch willingly and avariciously from press agents and I would be more of a fool than I look if I threw away my passes to the theater. Today my free offer is 20 dancing lessons and it comes in the form of a little gilt card from the Fred Astaire studios on Park avenue, a comparatively new organization with a positive genius for publicity.

Mr. Tom Weatherly, who has thumped many a tub for theatrical producer Dwight Deere Wiman By MEL HEIMER in the past and who occasionally joins hands with Mr. Wiman in producing, has been assigned the job of getting free space in the pub.ick printes for Mr. Astaire and he works in artful fashion. Tom already has lured me into a half-column description of his rumba factory by introducing me to one of his best-looking teachers and now he comes forth with his free dance lessons.

With my membership in the Gold Card club, I received a little letter from Charley Casanave, Mr. Astaire's executive vice president, promising that "Tom and I will select your teacher, Mel," and this final touch of ballyhoo in front of the carnival curtain likely in all that in needed 1 to send me up to 487 Park in a hurry. DANCING EVIDENTLY IS HERE TO STAY. Because I consider it a barbaric form of entertainment is no reason for me not to discuss it calmly. Mr.

Casanave's letter informs me it is surprising how business and professional people rarely consider "being a good dancer as valuable an asset as it really is," but what startles me personally along those lines is how really bad dancers in New York are. I suppose it is that way throughout the nation, but we provincial Manhattanites always figure we do everything here a bit better than elsewhere and with that in mind, it is distressing to watch the dance floor of any local saloon. I recall spinning frantically around the floor of the Plaza's Persian Room one night many seasons ago and then, upon sitting down exhaustedly, observing with the clarity of mind that comes from one champagne cocktail too many, how horrible the dancers were. "Do I look like that?" I asked myself, in dismay. It was a deeply impressive lesson, and I have not exercised my waltz or tango ever since.

In the days when the fox trot was danced to anything and everything the orchestra might play, the situation in New York was bad enough, but now that Latin-American music is the vogue, the dance scene is downright depressing. Not only do most of the souls have no rhythm; they also do not know the fundamental principles of the samba or rumba. They shake themselves around the floor in an obscenely energetic fashion but no matter what their hips may signal, their feet always are doing the box step. In spite of this appalling unfamiliarity with just what it is they are doing, there always is a rush of citizens to the floor when those off South American arias are played. NEW YORK WOMEN, perhaps because they are so busy visiting mudpack mills and cocktail bars, are somewhat less than well versed in the art of the -but the men, in keeping with a national tradition, are worse.

So, you inevitably see the familiar and dismal sight of a girl being shoved, tugged and lamely directed around the Copa or El Morocco floor a gentleman -using the word freely-who tells her proudly in a running fire of noisy conversation that he never took a lesson in his life. The prospect of a free meal and the possibility that she may trap this uncivilized creature into marriage some day keeps the girl pitifully silent. Most of all, Manhattan men appear to lack poise on the floor. The other night I saw a rare example of it; gliding smoothly around at Le Directoire in a throng of calm and wealthy souls out of the Social Register, was an obvious blueblood, stamped indelibly with Groton and Yale whose feet suddenly dew up from under him and he sat down with a thump. Maybe he was thinking that the five-buck minimum included the privilege of falling down on the dance floor, but whatever, he promptly arose and continued gliding around with his partner without missing a beat.

Never cracked a smile. We need a little more of that kind of thing. Thursday Eve, May 6, 1948 (Wilmington, Cal.)

That was the ukase handed down today by the Board of Supervisors to 208 county employes who have SO far refused to comply with the order to sign or get out. Pleas for delay until the case has been fully adjudicated in the courts failed to shake the Board in its determination to get the signatures of the entire 22,000 county personnel on the dotted line. Up to now 21,537 county employes have complied, many assertedly under protest. Rev.

A. A. Heist, of the Amer4 ican Civil Liberties Union and Attorney John T. McTernan, counsel for the CIO and AFL, pointed out that the Los Angeles county government had won its case in Superior Court on the promise that no penalty would be imposed on any employe who did not sign the affidavit. McTernan charged that the judge who decided the case in favor of the county said he was largely influenced because of the supervisors' no penalty attitude.

"But it seems you reversed your position," McTernan said, and are talking out of both sides of your mouth." Motion by Supervisor Roger Jessup to deny the request for delay passed by a three to one vote, Supervisor John Anson Ford senting. New Licenses For Pooches August 1 Unless dog owners in unincorporated county territory take out new licenses for their pooches by August 1, they will have to pay a 10 per cent penalty by August 1, under a new ordinance passed by Board of Supervisors today. Poundmaster Marvin T. Throndson told supervisors that most of the 59,000 dog owners under his jurisdiction are lax about yearly renewals of licenses. BOTTLE STILL WAITING By United Press LANGDON, N.

When suspects are brought in after a false alarm, it will be possible to match the guilty one's prints with those left in the dust.

PERFEST Heavier Demands For Food Aided By Home Canning A sound bit of advice to all housewives now is to make home canning plans, obtain supplies of glass fruit jars and caps. Chen be prepared to can plentiful supplies of foods the instant they come to market. A heavier demand for food both at home and abroad is predicted for the future. What this will do to the supply and prices is anybody's guess, but the housewife who does home canning won't have to guess. She will know her family will be well-fed.

Her food supply will be assured, and it will be put up the way she likes it! Reports to the United Nations by the director general of food and agriculture early this year warned of "a food shortage of world magnitude." American farmers have been urged to plant full crops for the 1948 harvest. Where the farmer's job ends, the housewives begin! All types of jars and caps for home canning are available at your grocer's, including porcelain-lined zinc caps and two-piece metal lids for Mason jars. Newest thing in home canning is the two-piece metal dome lid which gives a sure test of a perfect seal. It is only necessary to press the center of the lid. If the dome is down, the jar is sealed! it's as simple as that! So get your supplies of glass fruit jars, caps, lids and rubbers.

Know the home canner's feeling of pride and achievement, the sense of security that is reward in itself, to say nothing of the lip-smackings which delicious home canned foods produce when your family sits down to the table.
