Likewise there is a shortage of coal cars, making deliv eries for civilian consumption un certain. It is his belief that ration ing of oil will naturally be follow ed by rationing of both coal and wood. Looking on the brighter side, Richardson recited numerous me , , , , 1 thods by which the fuel shortage may be met with no more than a minimum of suffering and incon venience. The first step is to stop the leaks, such as loose fitting window frames,, worn down thresh olds, ill-fitting doors Heading to the upstairs, broken window panes, "f.w b-- u holes in the basement walk and Unless this is done farmers will numerous other faults which could tave reductions m their crop pay be remedied without employment ments lose tW loan pnvl" of special workmen.

There will have to be increased production on the farms more garden crops, more cattle,, sheep, hogs and poultry, and this increascd production will have to be participated in by townspeople as well, particularly as to gar- den crops. liecause tnev na Because they have always been ... . " abe to go to the grocery ftorc for their ffesh produce, many townspeople have long since abandoned gardening while oth ers have yet to learn the first lesson. Unless these people learn that lesson quickly there is dan ger of unnecessary suffering in the months to come. This is an appeal to exper ienced gardners to attend the garden class meetings at the school house and join in the round table discussions. Please don't get the imression that those conducting the meetings know or even think they know all about gardening. They are specialists it is true, but their mam function is to con- duct classes wherein . the exper iences of those engaging in gar dening may be related and the best practices discussed for the benefit of all. Experienced gardeners will be making a valuable contribution to the war effort by attending uii ij ciiiviiuiup, it f . . .. . inese classes ana onering woras of wisdom to the neophytes, Classes are held each Monday and Friday evenings in the caf- ctcria at the high school.
