For over the air came the voice of America unafraid. Th, voice of the president of the United States, saying. "These things we have done; these things we will continue to do; we are not qulttt.-.g." That was the essence if the noose' velt speech, though not the words. That was the message he gave to th. millions who turned to him for lead ershtp In 1033. the millions of the submerged whom he has rescued and who are grateful, and the messsge likewise to a much smsllr-r numner whom he also rescued and who are not grateful. It was the voice of courage ana confidence, courage and confidence of such dexrre that It sounded a new note In a campnlgn that had threat, ened to establish a low mark In po. IKIcal mediocrity. For, ur.tll now his enemies have had the air and the newapnpers pretty much to them selves, and the air and tne newspa pers have bnn filled with whimper ings and mean fears.

There Is a political candidate In the field against the president. Ills cam paign to date has not benn Inspiring He has obviously sought to be two things, a man In whom the massos of the American pedple, the farmers and the laborera could put their con fidence, on the one hand, and a man to whom the privileged few of the past could look for reassurance that their day would come again. He has presented a blurred picture of him self and his program. He has but a few short weeks In which to undo the damage he has done himself and his candidacy; In which, so to say, to present a negative that haa not suf fered from double exposure. Ths president hss cleared the air. has let a flood or light into the cam paign, revealing that he knows where he Is going and la moving resolutely on his way.

He also complimented the CCO men on the speed with which they have learned to mobilize, list year It took the men almost two hours to be ready to move while this year, after continued drill, they could be In motion In a mere matter of min utes.

"Control of crab-graas may bo ac complished by preventing the de velopment of the plants by removing the seed producing structures before they mature. Ths first step In the control program is the development of a heavy turf, crab-graas will not grow In shade so & thick stand of grass will do much to discourage It. To this end the lawn should be well fertilized In the early spring and reseeded heavily with clueRrass. "The vigorous use of the crab-graas rake In the fall will greatly reduce the number of seeds.
