In every way that we can say "We're grateful," we'd like to say exactly that to many, many persons in many, many places. And here's why: Recently Governor Warren of California acting pretty much as a stand in for Uncle Sam himself pre sented th'! third honor plaque to be awarded us by the offi cially sponsored Victory Garden Institute. The war may be over, but Uncle Sam hasn't forgotten the time when, in some ways, vege tables were as important as bombs. He hasn't forgotten those who helped produce them. Naturally we're pleased. But where would we have been if many another concern hadn't been in there pitching, too ? And many a family including the children? i Without the schools teach ers and children alike we'd never have come near this hon or. Some became real members of the Order of the Green Thumb. Still smaller fry, too tiny to garden, were none the less mates with us on Uncle Sam's Western Victory Garden team. They carried home the message that enlisted parents. So to all the men and wom en who with spade and hoe and back-muscles and elbow grease turned yards and vacant lots into home-grown arsenals, congratulations ! We tip our hat to you !
