III.—A social revo lution has token place in the small town of Hoopeston in the nast few years that Is as Important as any In the history of this country. And many experts have called It a revo lution that Is needed In thousands of communities In the nation. The town, with a population of approximately 7,500, i- located in a rich food production area. At har vest time it becomes the home of between 400 and 500 of America's 2.500,000 migrant farm workers. Tills was the source of a social ail ment that it took a revolution to cure. In Hoopeston these migrant farm workers, like in thousands of small towns from Maine to California, were Jammed Into outlying areas where sanitation and cleanliness were impossible; children were un dernourished and not allowed In the public schools; they were segre gated In the halcody of the local movie und not allowed in the park or swimming pool. They were con sidered a necessary evil, necessary it Hoopeston was to survive because the town made Its living from the canning companies, their huge farms and affiliated industries. Liberty Gardens Vital to Defense Good Kitchen Garden Can Cut Food Costs The Department of Agriculture has approved ■ plan of the National Garden and Food Preservation Com mittee for a national Liberty G ar den campaign In 1952. The general plan is to encourage the cultivation ot home gardens as insurance against shortages, to re lieve transportation facilities, en list labor In food production, and maintain health and moral values. On the local level the all-out pro gram provides for usi g all avail able means to arouse the whole pop ulation to the need for gardens, to teach novices how to make gar dens, make suitable land available in city, town and suburban areas. Counc il Is Form ed Then, three years ago representa tives of the community’s social and professional groups met and de cided that something had to be done, namely, to give the migrants the best it had. From this group was formed the Hoopeston Migrant Coun cil. The first thing the group did was to persuade the migrants to clean up when they came into town so people wouldn't be p r e j u d i c e d against them. Then came lessons in nutrition and hygiene and English. The keynote of the campaign was —move slowly and don't put pres sure on anybody. The camps that housed the mi grants were improved. Sanitation was Improved, showers made avail- able, and adequate laundry facili ties provided. As for the town, an educational program was started to teach the natives something about tne m i grants and to wipe out the preju dices. The businessmen started it off by trying to understand their customers who began arriving in the community In late April of each year. It has been a long, hard pull. To- day there Is no segregation In the local theatre and nobody can name the exact date when it ended. It hasn't completely died out at the swimming pool and in the park, but it is passing. Children In School plow the land and insure the avail ability of seed, plant food and equip ment. A good kitchen garden may also ! be the answer to many a fam ily’s high food costs.

An average garden can mean as i much as $200 to a fam ily’s food bill during one year with a reasonable amount of time and effort. , More Meat for Year Is USDA Prediction , The average American may eat even more meat and poultry in 1952 than In 1951, If Advance production figures are any indication. According to a forecast of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, meat production this year may be large enough to provide an average of 144 pounds per person as com pared with 141 pounds in 1951. Most of the meat increase will be In beef and veaL Much of the step- up in beef will be in medium and lower grades, although some of it probably will be in the better grades from grain-fed cattle.

For first three quarters of 1951 total savings by individuals amounted to $37 billions as compared to $26.8 bil lions in 1950. If fourth quarter 1951 savings average first three quarters, total 1951 savings will top the $45 billion mark. SEC computes in dividual savings as including unincorporated busi ness, trust and pension funds and non-profit in stitutions. Total liquid savings, which includes currency and bank deposits, Saving & Loan Associa tions, insurance, securities, including U.S. Gov ernment bonds, and liquidation of mortgage debt, totals $9 billions for first three quarters of 1951 as compared to total of $2.6 billions for 1950. • Of interest to fertilizer dealers and to farmers Is estimated supply for 1952 from the De partment of Agriculture: nitrogen 1,375,000 tons, increase of 7 per cent over 1951; potash, 1,515,- 000 tons, up 5 per cent, and phosphates, 2,100,000 tons, off 6 per cent from 1951. NPA ALLOTMENTS EXPLAINED • Retailers may obtain idea of probable pro duction of certain goods from announcement by NPA of allotments of scarce materials during next six months. Approximately 80 categories were divided into two groups. Group 1 includes essential items for maintaining standard of living and includes refrigerators, stoves, washers, office supplies, fountain pens, fasteners and pins. Group two contains items regarded as less essential such as smoking accessories, costume Jewelry, dolls, pen cils and pianos. In second group producers will receive about 10 per cent of their pre-Korean use of copper and 20 per cent of aluminum. The first group will receive up to 35 per cent of their base period use of these metals and steel allotments will average about 50 per cent of base for most producers. So allotments do not ban production of certain civilian items outright, as was case during war, but permits production even if at low level. Passenger cars and small group of goods produced chiefly for industrial, health, safety and public welfare uses were not Included in either group. - P r e p a re d by the W a s h in g to n B n re a n or W N U F e a to re s .

Answers will be given in this column.) SSIGNMENTS are available In A ir Force for 700 highly qualified technical specialists who will accept direct reserve commis sions and immediate active duty. The m ajor need Is for college grad uates in the fields of communica tions, psychological warfare, pro curement, weather, and auditing. Approximately 250 second lieu tenants, 325 captains, 125 majors, and 8 lieutenant colonels may be commissioned under this quota, the A ir Force said. • • • A the Q. I am attending school un der the G l bill, and I have just been awarded disability compen sation by the VA. W ill my com pensation payments reduce the amount of subsistence payments I am getting as a G l Bill trainee.* T.L.B., Gadsden, Arix. A. No. Your disability compensa tion payments have no effect what soever on the amount of subsistence allowance you are receiving. Q. 1 am on active duty in the Navy, and I have a G l term pol icy in force under waiver of premiums. How do I pick up my insurance again, once I am dis- charged? R.H.A., Dayton, Wash. A. You must pay the required premium to the Veterans Adminis tration in Wash., D.C., within 120 days after your release from active service. Q. How much military service must a veteran have bad in order to qualify for a nonservice-con nected pension.3 J.L.K., Hanover, Kans. A. He must have served for at least 90 days, part of which was within an actual w ar period or aft er June 27, 1950, and must have been discharged under other than dishonorable conditions. The 90-day minimum is waived for those who served less than that amount of time but were discharged for a serv ice-connected disability. Army Revises Officers' Physical Tests The Arm y recently announced a revision of the traditionally rigid physical requirements for officers that will increase the opportunities for otherwise qualified personnel to obtain a commission or warrant. The physical "profile” system, previous ly used only for enlisted grades, will now be used to measure ac ceptable physical standards for of ficers. It will also help in assigning officers In accordance with their physical capabilities. Under VA regulations, former G l bill veteran-trainees who returned to active m ilitary duty must resume their training within a reasonable period after their release from ac tive duty. That "reasonable period” , VA said, will be based on the cir cumstances of each veteran’s case, and will depend on the kind of train ing he Is taking. Veterans are ad vised to make their training plans early and avoid the disappointment of missing out althogether.
