Co-op Employees Get Back Pay

Back pay amounting to $30,000 has been awarded to the employees o f the Central Jersey Farmers Cooperative, according to Harry Malsburj', vice president o f Local 95, Food, Tobacco, Agricultural and Allied W orkers Union of America- (CIO).

The negotiations were carried on, the local union officials said, by Harry Shapiro, president o f the local, Mr. Malsbury, Bertha Bogner and Joseph Skeba, assisted by a union atorney.

Representing an average of 20 cents hourly increase for the majority o f the employees, the back pay was retroac­tive to July 1944. The union official re­ported that the wage increase had been approved in last year’s contract with the Cooperative, but was turned down by the W ar Labor Board until such time as the national wage policy was changed. Meanwhile the money was held in escrow, and when Local 95 re­opened wage negotiations after V-J Day, the back pay was awarded.

Two Nine-Year-Old Boys Drown In Peddie LakeTax Estimate Due On Jan. 15, January 15 is the last day on which many Americans can file final estimates and complete -their preliminary pay­ments on the income tax that they still ow'e next March 15. Treasury experts estimate that probably less than 10 per cent of income taxpayers have to do anything by Jan. 15,

In general there are three groups who should get busy at once on their Jan. 15 estimates. They are: farmers; those who should have filed an estimate previously, but let it slide; those who filed earlier, but whose incomes exceed­ed their estimates materially (or slump­ed bady) so that they must make up a deficit or, in reverse, who want to avoid a final payment to w'hich they are committed unless they revise the earlier estimate.

The purpose o f the estimate is to assure that, not later than Jan, 15, you shall have paid at least 80 per cent of the entire tax that you will owe on the 1945 income. If you pass Jan. 15 delin­quent by more than 20 per cent, you will be subject to a penalty.

Rctim EitiinateN o estimate is required from wage

earners who received, in 1945, less than $5,000 plus $500 for each personal ex­emption other than their own, and who did not have more than $100 o f income other than from wages, salary, commis­sions, tips, etc. (If the total income was under $500, the amount from non- wage sources does not matter.)

No new estimate is required from anybody who already has fixed one in which he guessed his tax at least 80 per cent of what it is going to be.

If you over-estimated your tax in a previous declaration, and have a final installment to pay January 15 on the excess, you should revise the estimate so as to cut down the over-payment for which yiu must claim and then wait for a refund.

If you file a new estimate January 15, you must send with it the difference betTveen what ytm already hare through withholdings and what you estimate you will owe March 15.

Unless you are certain that your final tax will come within 20 per cent o f be­ing fully paid, as o f January 15, through withholdings or payments or both, you should try before that date to make a very accurate estimate, so as to know where you stand. —

The surest way is by preparing your final return now and filing it in place o f the final estimate. ,

The annual organization session of the Mercer County Board o f Free­holders was held Wednesday noon at the Court House. William j . Suiner, who is beginning his third term as free­holder, was named director and Stewart H. Donnell as deputy director.

Harrv Lieberman, Hamilton town­ship Democrat, was the only new man to be seated. He succeeds Bertrand L. Gulick, who was defeated at the No­vember election. The board is now composed o f five Republicans and two Democrats.

Under the new reorganization plan each freeholder will be the chairman of a committee controlling a depart­ment and will serve on two other com­mittees. Each committee will audit its ow^ bills. Previously an auditing com­mittee for all county departments func­tioned.

Mercer is the last county to adopt the department committee control. This plan w*as laid down by Walter R. Dar­by, State Director of Local Govern­ment. The setup is supposed to sim­plify county finances and bookkeeping. This plan calls for each o f the seven different departments to be controlled by a chairman and two committee mem­bers.

Efforts to Rescue Fail; Sgt. Moody Risks Hi* Life To Aid Victims; Bodies Recovered by Brandt And Weisel

T w o nine-}’ear-oId boys were drowned in the icy water o f Peddie Lake last Thursday afternoon. The boys who lost their lives when they fell through the broken ace on the lake were Paul Herbert Allen, son, o f M r. and Mrs. Herbert D. Allen, o f 154 Maxwell avenue, and Her­bert Robbins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Robbins, o f William street.

Cry for HelpSergeant James E. Moody, 20, o f 130

Reed street, home on a 90-day furlough, who was skating on the pond at the time, heard the outcries o f the fright­ened children. He made an unsuccess­ful attempt at rescue. M oody crashed through the thin ice and Iwirely suc­ceeded in extricating himself from the water. Moody said that tbcrc were a score or more o f children playing or skating on the ice. W hen the ice start­ed to break other boys and girls scur­ried to safety.

The water at the scene o f the acci­dent is approximately ten 'feet deep. It is believed that the weight o f the chil­dren coupled with the heavy rains and thawing weather had weakned the ice.

Members o f the First A id Squad o f the Hightstown Fire Company applied artificial respiration until the two were pronounced dead by Dr. E. Drew Silver. Deputy County Physician J^mes'J- RBa viewed the bodies at the H cyer morgue. Patrolman Howard Patterson handled the investigation for the police depart­ment.

Crawl to SpotThe alarm was sounded shortly after

three o ’clock and the First Aid Squad rushed to the Jake. Aibext W eisel and John Brandt flattened fire la-iders on the frozen surface o f the lake and armed with grappling hooks, crawled to the spot where the boys had fallen through. After more than a half-hour’s search they recovered the bodies from the bottom of the lake. The boys were removed to the firehouse where other members o f the squad immediately be­gan to apply artificial respiration. Dusk had fallen when they abandoned their efforts.

Teachers Salary ScheduleThe Hightstown Education Assooiatioji composed of local school

teachers has submitted a salary schedule to the Board of Education and requested adoption of this or a similar schedule. The proposed plan has three groups. The first for those with less than four yeais o f prepara­tion with a starting pay of $1,400 and increment of $100 per year up to a maximum of $2,400. The second bracket for those liolding a bachelor’s degree to begin at $1,500 and maximum of $2,700. Tlie third group for teachers liolding at least a master’s degree from $1,600 up to $3,000. The request of the teacher assooiation as to a definite salary schedule appears to be in line with similar organizations in the State. The teachers are

entitled to a definite salary plan.The Boards of Education likewise will be belter satisfied with a

salary schedule, which should be printed for presentation to encumbent teachers and to applicants. An official salary schedule would have the tendency to avoid squabbles about salaries.

In the Recorder’s CourtAmong the annual reports relatiiag to affairs of tlie Borough is that

of the Recorder. Magistrate Hampton promptly submitted his report for the past year. During the past twelve months only four criminal cases were handled and turned over to the prosecutor. There were 419 cases of all kinds docketed. Disorderly persons, 195 paid $1,570 in fines; 26 committed to the workhouse and two to the county jail. F or violation of the parking ordinance 76 violators paid $78 in fines. The Recorder collected $448 in fines from 79 violators of the motor vehicle act. H ow ­ever, this latter sum was turned over to the county treasurer. It seems that the judge did not levy a fine on all persons that appeared in court. Twenty-three cases were reviewed and settled out of court. Due to the activities of the police officers, especially during the harvest season when migrants flock to town on week ends, and to the efficient handling o f cases in the court, the peace of the community rates favorably with other municipalities. ' . . .

Annonymous LettersAnonymous letters are frequently received by the G a z e t t e . Borough

officials also from time to time receive similar epistles. They are without signatures or are signed a taxpayer, a resident or a reader. The letters usually contain a complaint that in most cases should have some atten­tion. A t this time of the year the letter writer complains about the snow on the sidewalks and streets. Tffien there are complaiTrts about poor side­walks and the everlasting dog question. The Gazette is willing to pub­lish a “ letter to the editor” provided it does not deal with personalities and the writer signs his letter. Municipal authorities are always open to suggestion but they need information as to the complainant. Signed articles receive attention and anonymous communications generally fall into the waste paper basket.

No Freedom Without Free MarketsThe New York Stock Exchange points out a fact in a recent adver­

tisement that the foundation of freedom in the United States is “ free markets.” Our country was built on that basis. Every individual had the right to produce and sell to the limit of his ability. W e have just fought a setond World War to uphold the right of the individual to personal freedom. How far freedom of the individual will be assured, remains to be seen. But without free markets, there w ill be no free opportunity. .

The United States was built by the courage and initiative of individ­uals. W hile this nation was growing strong under the stimulus of free opportunity, free markets and the opportunity for profit, European na­tions were decaying and the people becoming pawns of power-seeking politicians. For some years we have been copying more and more the European system under which government, in return for a bogus form of security, takes over the rights of the individual and limits his freedom of opportunity.

State socialism and free markets do not exist together.

Railroad Company CalendarThe Pennsylvania Railroad Company calendar for 1946 came to us

with the beginning of the new year. The company has favored the Ga zette with a handsome calendar for many years. The calendar for 1946 commemorates one hundred years of progress by the Railroad Company in service to the American public. The illustrations include the “G G -i ”— giant electric locomotive for passenger and freight service; "Q-2”— newest and most powerful steam freight locomotive; “ T - i ” — newest streamlined steam passenger locomotive in service; newly de­signed Diesel for fast passenger runs; the “John Bull”— built in England in 1831 and operated on the Camden & Amboy Railroad, long a part o f the Pennsylvania Railroad System; “ American Type”— a Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive of this type hauled the Lincoln funeral train in 1865; “D i6d”— which in 1902 regularly hauled the Pennsylvania Special, forerunner of the Broadway Limited, between New Y o rk and Chicago.

The Vice President handling traffic says: "W ith the coming o f peace, the railroad problem has changed from transporting the enormous war load of freight and militar}' personnel to one of preparing for Post- W ar years. This includes bringing the roadbed, the equipment and our own personnel back to normal standard— helping industry with its ad­justments and, as soon as the military movement is over, providing a better freight qnd passenger service than has ever been rendered to the public at the lowest possible cost. ’'The necessary steps to meet these tasks will take time, but they have been started. W e look fonvard with even greater confidence to the years to come and wish to thank our patrons for their continued cooperation and assure them of our definite purpose to meft their transportation requirements as we have for one hundred years.”

Tragedy on the LakeA couple of nine-year-old boys were drowned in Peddle Lake l.ast

Tlnirsday afternoon. Playing and skating on thin ice is dangerous, but as a rule the youngsters do not realize that this is true. They are usually fearless and some are apt to take a chance. Perhaps there is something that can be done to prevent a repetition of this tragedy. It has been sug­gested that the police department be placed in charged and have a “ dan­ger" sign erected at various points near the lake as a warning to all to keep off until it is considered safe. Such signs are placed on ponds and lakes in other communities and it appears that the suggestion is a good

Wars are wasteful and everybody knows it. An emotional plea for na - tiinal defense is all it takes to raise money from patriotic people. Men and women will sacrifice, will give until it kurts when their sons are' at war. A voiing man, far from home, living ( ? ) under conditions new to him and u n ­known to Ms parents, is the unfading combination to the family’s treasurechest . ,

Whether parents be rich -or poor, they will buy their son’s passage hom e from a foreign war every day until he comes, so long as they can find' the

money, and nobody blames them. They will do it, even if they fear that the money they offer^is imprudently spent, or that part of it is diverted into selfish channels. But hostilities have ceased now. Things are different.

Frugality RevivesPeople of the United Slates have be­

gun watching where their tax money goes and wondering if it is being wisely spent. It is small wonder that Congress bristles at every suggestion to continue commodity price controls until the mid­dle of 194b. liolding the price line costs something, and does not seem half as important to a war-weary people as it did before the last foreign beach-head was taken.

Evidences keep coming to light that taxpayers’ money has been wasted by Men. in position of trust. A recent pub­lic statement by Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia said more than V/t million civilians were on federal payrolls last November 1, compared with less than one million in August 1939; or 917,760

when the shooting stopped at the end of World War I.

Needle«s ExpenseThere is an element in government

today, seeking not merely to continue the li/e of the OPA but to expand its! functions. Already our government’s i price-fixing “mechanics" have started making arbitrary a<ljustments in mar­gins to be earned by wholesalers and distributing agencies, an activity not even thought about for the OPA at the time it was created.'

It would be unfair to allege that this enormous blreau’s entire war-time ac­tivity was useless. Price controls have done some good, as arbitrary shields i against abnormal dangers. They have also done harm, A retail merchant, whom I have known since I was a boy, told me recently that he made more net p in selling under war-time price ceil-' lugs than he had made during his pre- j vious 25 years in business. j

Controlling Prices |, Questioned for more detail, my re -: taller friend acknowledged to me that! price controls placed on him by gov-j ernment fluring the war were much 1 more lenient than price controls placed I on him by competitors all his business; life. And I am sure it is no more true i in his case than it would be with .such I institutions as Ford, Chrysler and Gen-' eral Motors. Competition is the correct brake on prices.

Regardless of what name it may year : Price Contml, Federal Aid to Ed­ucation or Socialized Medicine, central­ization of power is undemocratic. It is paying a power-hungry ruler for doing something that would happen naturally if he would only step aside. It is some­one diming to power by learning what people want and devising a way to keep them from getting it, while making them think he is trying to get it for them.

HEN Ted Carleton let himself in the front door at four o’ clock

he had two hours to decide the big­gest problem of his life. Two hours to determine whether he would ac­cept Verne Chandler's offer of a vice presidency or work with a new com ­petitive company.

Tight little arms suddenly envel­oped his knees. Then he remem­bered they were celebrating Deb­orah’s sixth birthday. He lifted her i to his shoulder; received a warm, moist kiss. If he could only talk over the matter with Janet quietly. There seemed little chance now.

Debbie’ s hand was smoothing his brown hair while he took in the pic­ture. Ten dressed-up children were climbing over the living room fur­niture, having a marvelous, wide- | eyed time. Janet’s hair was loos- j ened in damp curls on her forehead. She took his hat, put away his top­coat.

“ Janet, won’t you send the kids home early? I have something im­portant to settle by six. Can’ t we talk it over upstairs?” It wasn’ t that she gave advice or tried to run his life. But he might be able to clear his mind if she just lis­tened to him think aloud.

“ Is it—about business?”“ Yes. Verne offered me the vice

presidency and a small raise. A new company—Carstairs and Keith —want me to come in as treasurer at my present salary. It’s a gam­ble but—”

He turned to Janet. “ Fve been with the company eight years. Verne is a pretty shrewd president. His

offer sounds like a good thing. Of course, our financial setup has been shaky but Verne says—"

“ Ready, Daddy!" piped a small voice.

"O. K. Battleships before business I suppose."

Eager little faces watched him. Their eyes darted quickly to the drum table at the front windows, then back to him. That’s where they hid a toy sub, he thought, but I’ll play along a few minutes. He walked to the back, examining bookcases with mock seriousness.

But his thoughts were relentless. Verne is sharp, ail right. Suddenly, he remembered swapping stamps with Verne in high school and al­ways getting the worst end of the deal. Verne invariably swore they were genuine but added that, if they were not, he would take thein back. Yet when the stamps proved to be imitation, Verne insisted on selling Ted’s own lot back at a neat profit.

Still, he thought, if I join the new company, I am taking a terrific chance for my family. He liked the organization of Carstairs and Keith, liked the reputation of the men. He had experience and knowledge they could use. Funny, wasn’t it, that the promotion in the old firm came only after Verne was told of the new offer! He had never known Verne to think of others first. May­be the old company was shakier than he realized. There was a nar­row line between shrewdness and dishonesty. And Verne’s sudden cordiality was puzzling. Usually he was hard and cold.

Small suppressed sounds filled the room. He had searched everything except the drum table. When he reached it, a small boy began to clap eagerly.

“ Why,” Ted said to himself, “ this is just like a game I used to play called ‘Hot and Cold.’ The children applauded louder and louder when you were near. It's the same game —under a different name!"

The little boys and girls crowded around him. “ Boom! Boom! You’re torpedoed! You’re blown up in a million pieces!” Debbie fished the submarine from under his hand.

Janet was calling. “ Light the can­dles, dear. Then the little ones can come in. I’ ll try to hurry them.” Candlelight made a halo about her small head.

“ There's no need to rush.”“ But you just said—’ ’“ 1 know, darling. Playing with

the kids made me see things straight. Verne’s methods are al­ways the same, no matter what bait he uses or what he calls the game. I intend to leave him.”

Her eyes did not leave his face. " I ’m glad. But are you sure—”

“ Sure as I am of my love for you. I’ ve suddenly realized there’ s no more certain way of being right than doing the opposite of what your enemy wants."

A t t h e m om en t Miss Seacy, her n o t e b o o k o n her knee, darted an ap­p r e h e n s i v e look at him.

‘ " T h is vra ter,’ ' he began, turning d i s t a s t e f u l l y away from the silver j u g a t h is elbow .

I n a com prehending flash Miss S e a c y c lu t c h e d the pitcher and tip­t o e d f r o m h is carpeted office. In a f e w s e c o n d s she was back with it f r e s h l y fille d .

A b r u p t ly M r. Pline raised a large, p a l e , w e ll-ca re d -fo r hand to remove h i s n o s e g la sses that all through the d a y w o u ld b e shifted from nose to d e s k a n d fr o m desk to nose. “ You m a y p u t a s id e your book,” he said c e r e m o n io u s ly .

A dop t Airfoam forLeg Ulcer Treatment

iTYiportant possibilities in the cur­i n g o f leg ulcers through use of. A i r f o a m —a leading peacetim e mate­r i a l fo r seat-cusliionlng and similar p u r p o s e s — were disclosed. In one c a s e , it was said, an ulcer o f seven- m o n t h s ’ duration was healed In a f e w weeks. Another ulcer o f even l o n g e r duration was cured in a com ­p a r a b l e period. Officials said, how­e v e r , that further experim enting and t e s t s o f Airfoam in leg-ulcer thera­p y a re still in progress.

T h e Airfoam, bandaged against t h e patient’s leg, stimulates the flow o f fr e s h blood into the areas where a n u lc e r exists. A-section of half-inch A ir f o a m is cut to a size which will e x t e n d several inches on all sides b e y o n d the rim of the ulcer. Then t h e Airfoam Is laid over the ulcer a n d held in place with an elastic b a n d a g e .

P a tien ts undergoing this, treatment f o r a leg ulcer are encouraged to w a lk and exercise as much as neces­s a r y in their normal way of living, c o m p a r e d with previous ulcer treat­m e n t s which called for com plete r e s t in g of the leg during treatment. A s the leg muscles flex in walking, t h e resiliency of the A irfoam stimu­l a t e s blood circulation into the ulcer a r e a . Doctors believe'generally that o n e o f the causes o f leg ulcers is t h e fa c t that circulation deterior­a t e s in certain leg areas because of p o o r valvular action in the veins, a c a u s e o f varicose veins.

Modern Athens Ri»e»From Ruins of Old

Modern Athens developed after Greece gained her independence fol­lowing the 1821-29 war with Turkey, and had since becom e a fast grow­ing metropolis, especially in the present century.

Athens is situated on the Attica Plain which slopes 350 feet upward from the Aegean sea to the city, a fairly fertile farming area. On the other three sides the city is sur­rounded by hills which are partly responsible for the temperate cli­mate. Its port, Piraeus, lies about 8 m iles from the center of the city on the Gulf of Aegina.

Before and during Turkish pos­session this chief center of ancient Greek culture had lost its prestige, gradually dwindling to a wood-built town of less than 5,000 inhabitants, tied to the north and east slopes of the Acropolis by narrow crooked alleys. Piraeus was just a fishing village, its ancient name lost iir-that of Porto Leone.

After Athens becam e the capital of

Smith ended 1946 with a decisive w in over highly regarded Ruby Garcia. T h is was his second win over Garcia. H e hopes to continue his winning ways in 1946 against bigger game. Since h is two wins over Garcia, fans and m atch ­makers throughout the east have b een clamoring for a Smith-WiHiams b ou t.

Clear Cell Walls Needed For Close Scientific Study

Good digestion m akes for clearer vision in the m icroscope, plant sci­entists o f the United States depart­ment o f agriculture have discovered. The digestion, in this case, is of the object to be examined under high magnification.

Searching for fundamental facts of heredity, scientists need to know m ore about the interior o f cells, and particularly about the appearance and arrangement o f the chrom o­somes that are believed to control the hereditary behavior o f the plant. Minute as single cells are, the scientists haVe devised ways of making m icroscope slides that ex­pose cells in single layer and so en­able the observer to study single ceils. But the cell walls are not clearly transparent and interfere with views of the cell Interiors.

S. L. Emsweller and Neil Stuart o f the Agricultural Hesearch ad­ministration, trying to reduce this interference, applied solvents a n d f caustic chemicals to dissolve or eat away part of the ceU walls. Failing with these, they turned to organic preparations and have had better suc­cess. An enzyme preparation liter­ally digests away part o f the cell wall and in some way. affects the internal structure, causing chrom ­osomes to spread out readily. The m icroscope slides of “ digested” cells give clearer views of the chrom o­somes.

Berry ProtectionWith the uncertainty that accom­

panies the wintry weather, farmers and gardeners are urged by T. S. Weir, horticulturist at University Farm, to take no chances on allow­ing strawberry and raspberry plants to shift for themselves. Cool weath­er and light frosts are beneficial in helping the plants to become accli­mated to the coming cold weather. The three or four-inch mulch of straw, marsh grass or other coarse material should not be put on until colder than 20-degree weather is in prospect. It’ s good Insurance to bend raspberry canes over and cov­er them with dirt, though some rasp­berry varieties will withstand the or- dinary winters in certain parts. All old canes should be removed in the fall and weaker canes thinned. Growing canes should not be cut back ^ next spring.

Dingy KoomLight, cheerful colors with proper

accessories will work wonders in putting life, color and brightness into a dingy looking room . Such a room was revised with m arked success by the use of a paint for the walls that is deeper than cream but not auite primrose yellow. The cell- fiig is medium olive-brown and the floor covered with a rug o f deep beige. The furniture is mahogany in streamlined effect. Two large club chairs are upholstered in sand color, with dark beige all-over fern pat­tern. At either side o f the mirror above the fireplace, ceiling-high tiers o f sm all glass shelves support color­ful figurines—Chinese temple dogs, S mandarins and geese. Two large lamps which are very modernistic have square bases of two colors of wood.

How It StartedChristening new ships with the

cerem ony of drinking a toast from a silver cup, then throwing the cup into the sea, was the immediate fore­runner of our present-day custom of christening new ships. Near the end of the ITih century the practice o f breaking a bottle of spirits across the bow of a new ship was substitut­ed for drinking the toast, possibly because of the cost of the silver cup. The original custom apparently was to throw tb,e bottle at the bow of the new ship, but, so a story goes once the sponsor m issed the bow com ­pletely and the bottle struck a spec­tator, who sued the British Admiral- ^ fo r damages. A fter that the bot­tle was always secured by a lanyard even as today. '

First Air Mail FlightMade Back in 1911

The first air m ail flight was made by Earle Ovington on Septem ­ber 23, 1911. He carried a sack ol mail between Nassau B oulevard and Garden City Estates, Long Island, N. Y. The first air m ail service operating op a rigid schedule and opened to the public w as estab­lished by the United States on M ay 15, 1918, when a route w as opened between New York, PhUadelphia and Washington, D. C. A t 11:30 a. m. Lieut. Torrey H. W ebb, avia­tion section, signal corps, U . S. A., left Belmont Park with the first mall- carrying plane from the N . Y . end, arrived at North Philadelphia at 12:30 and transferred his m ail to Lieut. J. C. Dagarton, who left six minutes later for Washington, arriv­ing at 2:50 p. m. Lieut. G eorge L. Boyle left P otom ac Park, W ash., for Philadelphia at about 11:30 a. ra., but 25 m iles from W ashington his plane was forced down and the mail was taken back to that city In a special truck, Lieut. H oward Cul­ver, who was to act as the relay for the Washington plane, upon hearing ol the mishap, flew the Philadelpliia mail to New York, landing at Bal­mont Park at 3:37 p. m.

Seek ReliefTurning to spiritualism for a feel­

ing of security is not new to this war. The first World war brought a sharp increase in table-tapping, se­ances and other “ m agic” m ethods of communicating with the dead or seeking information about the liv­ing. The jmpularity of the ouija board is a typical m anifestation of wartime anxiety. Behind the im­pulse to seek information from “ oc­cult” devices even as a pastim e, lie the deep-rooted anxieties o f thou­sands of m en and wom en o f all ages who are worried over the safe­ty of husbands, w ives, rqj^tives and friends. Although m ofi o f today's ouija board fans take its "m y stic ” answers with a grain o f salt, any­one feels m ore confident to have It say that's husband or fiance will be home by Christmas.

Froxen Fi*hSpecial recipes are not needed lor

preparing frozen fish. The only change in procedure is to increase the cooking tim e slightly to offset the low tem perature o l the product. They need not be defrosted before cooking. Pan-frying is a favorite way to cook steaks or fillets and small fish that have been split down the back. Dip them in cold wpter, then roll in a mixture prepared by combining one-haM cup each of Hour and corn meal and one table­spoon of salt. Heat three or four tablespoons o l fat in a heavy skillet until it begins to smoke. P la ce the fish in the pan and brown on both .sides. Cover the pan tfhd cook slow­ly for a few minutes. Ten minutes should be suflficient tim e to cook steaks or fillets cut about one-hall inch thick.

Agricultural Exteniion ServiceNow that the war Is over a great

many homeowners are again finding more time tospend on ornamentals and home grounds ifianting. In many sec­tions of the country tliis interest has always been community-wide, and there are numerous examples o f communities noted for their wide use of specific plants.

Portland, for instance, has an envi­able reputation for its roses. Savannah for azaleas, Charleston—a city of gar­dens—for its lovely azalea and camellia plantings, Hewitson for the Crepe Myr­tle that flanks the approaches to this Texas town.

Right here in New Jersey, Essex Fells is noted for its striking dogwood planting. New Jersey’s Blue Star Drive, a handsome World W ar II memorial planting of dogwood on Route 29, is attracting - nation-wide attention. In one garden club o f the state, each member planted two hollies of a rec­ommended variety this year. Sea Girt, especially favored with native holly, has taken steps to protect the plant.

It is quite possible for any commu­nity to do as these have done by se­lecting one or two plants which grow especially well in the locality and en­couraging residents o f the community to use them extensively. Such a plan will not hinder the use of a diversity o f other plants in home grounds, of course. To the contrary, it may stimu­late an even greater interest in home gardening,

There are many new varieties of Crabapples now being developed and offered in nurseries and doubtless many more will be available before long. They o ffer interesting possibilities for com­munity planting and are particularly adapted to growing conditions here in the Northeast. There are no hand­somer flowering trees than the Crabap­ples when they are in bloom in late April or early May, and they can be used in small backyard plantings as well as in larger garden plans. Among the shrubs, there are endless possibili­ties. Lilac, Flowering Quince, the spi- reas, and the viburnums, to mention a few, could be used advantageously to make any small community more at­tractive. And, of course, American Holly, where it can be protected against vandalism, should be restored to our landscape.

Cbmnnmities that decide upon dis­tinctive plantings such as these might well combine the efforts and facilities o f garlening clubs, local nurserymen, florists, real-estate men, landscape gar-

and all cjyic-Qiinded residents, o f the community. It >s a project that will add not only to the beauty of the town but to its value from the real estate standpoint as well.

In the Middle SometimeelIvan Demetrius and Mischa Petrovitz

loved to argue. Standing on a street corner in Moscow, whence they had come to enjoy a much-needed furlough, they watched an infantry , regiment marching by.

"D o men grow upward or downard ?” asked Ivan absently.

“W hy, downward, o f course,” replied Mischa.

“How do you know, Mischa?” asked Ivan.

“ Because,” replied Mischa, “once when I outgrey an overcoat it became too short for me at the bottom.”

"No, Mischa,” replied Ivan, looking, out at the marching soldiers, “men grow upward.”

“W hy do you say that, Ivan ?”“ Because," replied Ivan, "you will see

that our brothers marching out there are all even at the bottom, but uneven at the top."

And then the argument really began.

Gave America Its Name, Then CouIdn’ T^bange It

In the inconspicuous little tiivn o{ St. Die in the Vosges mountains of northeastern France at the begin­ning of the 16th century Martin Waldseemuller, a geographer, t o t traced the name “ A m erica " ’ on a map. Later he changed his mind- but the name stuck. '

In 1507 the St. Die staff published separately a large wall-m ap of the world in 12 sections, m easuring 8 by 4% feet when assem bled, and a 52-page “'Introduction to Cosmog­raphy” by W aldseemuller. Letters o f Amerigo Vespucci (Americus ■Vespucius) describing his voyages were turned over to the St. Die scholars only a short tim e before the map and treatise w ere pub- ' Ushed. ||

The name appeared on the vague land mass drawn at the left-hand edge of the map to represent the new continent. In his pamphlet, Waldseemuller observed: “ . . . I do not see what is to hinder us from calling it Amerige or A m erica . . . i after its discoverer A m ericus, a | mgp of sagacious m ind, since both ' Europe and Asia have got their ! names from women.”

Probably a thousand cop ies of the map, printed from w ood-cut engrav­ings, were distributed to all parts of Europe. On a revised m ap which was published in 1516, W ^dseem ul- ler showed that he felt he had un­justly credited Am erigo V espucci by substituting for A m erica the name “ Brazilia live Terra Papagalli” ' (Brazil or the land o f p arrots). But it was too late — the O ld W orld had already taken to the nam e America.

Snbstitale ShellaeSouthern Brazil has extensive for­

ests of Parana pine, and the supply of pine knots, a by-product o f lum­ber operations, i f plentiful, says Foreign C om ip er^ . W eekly. Three plants In R io G ranw d o Sul, which manufacture this gum lacqu er are reported to have a com bined pro­duction o f 20 to 30 tons monthly and are making plans to Increase their capacity to provide a surplus for export. 'ITie products a re inferi­or to shellac in some respects, and cannot be used for high grade pol­ishes or fine paints and varnishes, but are said to be suitable for the manufacture of ordinary paints, var­nishes and lacquers, and materials for waterproofing textiles and paper, and also for insulation o f land ca­bles, says the report.
