It is too much, Weiner told the committee, like a set of workers of different type engaged simultaneously in working on one structure, without a foreman and without a set of blueprints. This statement wouldnt be so startling if it were not for the fact that the other essential requirements, namely, military and foreign, have powerful well-established agencies wfhich every day represent their particular interests at all of these supply agencies. If a Civilian Supply administration were set up, he believes, it would be responsible for determining where and when rationing should be inaugurated.

That is Joseph L.

Weiner talking about you. Put it another way: What i the connection between a manpower shortage in Buffalo laundries and large absenteeism from the aircraft plants there on Monday and Tuesday, customary washdays in the American home? Weiner is director of the War Production Boards Office of Supply which he said made a survey and found these things; Aircraft company officials in the Buffalo area said flatly that a major cause of their absenteeism was due to the inability of the laun-dies to meet all the demands on them now and workers stay home to wash. In Warsaw and Kilmarnock in Virginia the communities are served by just a few retail stores. In each community the largest distributor of groceries is a chain store. In each case the chain store, now able to dispose of its merchandise through fewer outlets due to the war is proposing to close it store.

All this meant, Weiner notes, that in both communities great difficulties must be expected for the remaining grocers to obtain a larger share of meat and other food supplies to meet the needs of the population no longer served by the chain. Those might be war hardship cases, unrelated to you, if it were not for this additional statement by Weiner: Right now production for the military and production of the rockbottom needs for civilian are on a par both are equally necessary to the wir program and it is no longer the guns or butter period but the "guns-butter time. In many areas, he warns, the shortages are likely to be so severe that unless appropriate action is taken in advance, supplies to civilians will fall below the minimum essentials. Then civilian health, safety or morale will suffer and war production itself will inevitably decline. When he says everybodys business is nobodys business he means simply: The Office of Civilian Supply is one of many organizational units of the WPB.

It has no official responsibility on behalf of civilians for food, housing, transportation manpower and other resources which are vital to the maintenance of essential civilian supply. Weiner pointed out last week to the Senate Banking committee which is considering a bill at would set up a civilian supply administration independent of the WPB that: There is no single, central body clothed with adequate authority and responsibility to maintain that vital civilian organism, our civilian economy, the home front. As some examples of agencies which 'must provide for the military, foreign and domestic needs he lists these various administrative offices: petroleum, food, rubber, defense transportation, wai manpower commission and WPB, all of them separately responsible for withdrawals and supplies of and Jftrllllrig WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE- should be planted a second time, later in the season.

Do it right and youll have a professional-looking plot, a garden that will be your pride and joy and an efficient producer. The modern American method of seeding a small truck patch is to sow in rows, witli the plants spaced far enough apart to permit the gardener to stand up as he cultivates With hoe or wheel hoe. One of Natures rules requires that you always sow more seeds than you expect to grow, even though the germination is 100 per cent. The reason for this is that the hazards that involve plant life drought, disease, floods, etc. kill many plants in their youth.

On the other hand, if you sow seeds too thickly they crowd each other badly; plants will need thinning. After the seed is in the ground, your next job is all-important. Rake soil over them lightly but try to se to it that every seed comes in contact with as many particles of soil as possible. Dont pound the earth over the seed, but exclude air pockets. The steps in sowing are illustrated by the following drawings and directions: Seeds are sown in drills or hills.

A drill is a shallow, continuous trench. A hill, a term used in the case of cucumbers, squash, pumpkin, merely means a spot in the trench were several large seeds are sown in a group. A hill is not an elevation. Dont be too fussy about measuring the depth of your seed trench; the important thing is to get it shallow. In general, one-half inch for small seeds, one to two inches for peas, beans and corn and three inches for onion sets will do the job.

Using the stretched cord as a guideline, take the corner of your hoe and draw a straight line in the loose garden soil the length of the row. auered by man in his desire tc fly. Wide awake GlobaUminded Authentic jucid Most Victory Gardeners will sow seed by hand. Remember, seeds are particularly valuable this year and must not be wasted. Tear a corner off the seed packet and hold it so that by tapping and shaking lightly the seed will fall evenly into the drill.

Sowing too thickly will waste seed. Kneel close to the drill and holding the packet near your guide cord, get the seed where you want it. Small seeds should not be I sown thicker than about 15 to an inch. If they are very small, you may get a better spread by mix-! ing the seeds with two or three times as much dry sand in the packet. Sow big seeds individually, properly spaced apart.

Cover the seeds firmly with soil but don't use too much pressure Hello, 2nd WEEK, Hello! Lancaster Demands A Second Week For Hello, FRISCO, Hello TSE GREAT FOUR STAR MUSICAL HIT! Dont guess about distances and accuracy when making your rows. Use stakes and heavy cord to get them straight. First, working from your garden plan, note the distances you want between rows. Remember, you will be walking up and down these aisles all season as you cultivate. Eighteen inches is a good minimum distance between rows in most cases, although some plants, of course, require considerably more elbow room.

Outline the entire showing the intended rows by planting small stakes and then, using two fairly large stakes, stretch the cord between them and prepare to make that first row. Get it parallel to the borders and you are well on your way to a well-plotted garden. H. V. (CALTENBORN Edits the News DEMOLITION DRILL KILLS 8 SOLDIERS JIMS CAFE Frederick Shipprn 8t.
