TONITE Cfll-OMTc tTAVfRtl HIGHWAY 47 COUTH Brs ORE Everyone Can Share in Victory Garden Program - , LI 1L il i lf,t IWil i 3ij4 I Mfl I JJ1 irop eoiccnon ana planting arrsngomom is important in Vic tory gurdonlng. Thoto Maryland youngsters conducted a model project last lotion. Proparod by the U. 8. Depart ment of Agriculture' for NEA Sorvice Farmers town, city and sub urban dwellers and those who Ixivc uccess to community or al lotment type garden plots, all have been assigned important parts in the Victory garden drive of 104a. Every farm family has been called upon by Secretary of Agriculture Claude K. Wickord, who heads the national food pro gram, to produce its entire sup ply of vegetables, both fresh and processed, and as much fruit as possible this year. Where pos sible, farm gardens also are ex pected to produce vegetables for nearby markets. For maximum results, it will be necessary for farmers in the north to grow something In their gardens from early spring to hard-freezing weather, whilo farmers in the south can make their maximum contribution to the nation's food ' needs by growing vegetables the yeor around; MOHE FRUIT NEEDED Town, city and. suburban dwellers who have sufficient open, sunny space and fertile ground are being asked to grow a largo supply of vegetables for home consumption. Suburban home ownQts also should plant more fruit, especially small fruits wherever space permits. People living in cities and closely built areas usually will not have tiic space for fertile soil sufficient for a considerable quantity of vegetables. These are encouraged to seek commun ity or allotment gardens on resi dential outskirts or vacant indus trial property, accessible by bus or trolley, to develop garden Army TrM of On Sedition TACOMA, April 28 (?) An army general court martial of 2nd Lieut. Joseph A. Poli, 22, of Oakland. Calif., University of California graduate end student of criminology and political phil osophy, opened before a board of 12 army officers at nearby Fort Lewis today, the army an nounced. Because the case may Involve confidential military Informa tion, tlio general court martial, most serious of army court mar tials, was being held in closed sessions. Lieutenant Poll is charged with escape and desertion and with certain specifications in connection with and involving tho mailing and distribution of allegedly seditious literature. Tho case is believed to bo tho plots 30 by 50 feet or larger, and to grow vegetables for home con sumption the entire season. Schools in towns and rural areas are encouraged to develop school gardens, which should be planned and managed on a scale iarge enough to make available abundant supplies of fresh and processed vegetables for school lunches. Experienced gardeners can perform an unusually valuable service, not only in growing larger and better gardens, where possible, but in giving advice and encouragement to new gar deners. Many city dwellers probably will be trying their hands at growing a vegetable garden for the first time. With all the help they can get from professional sources, from seed dealers and nurserymen, and from leaflets issued by the U. S. department of agriculture and state agricultural colleges, they still will need the practical sug gestions that are backed by long experience. ;;. NO DILETTANTES WANTED Gardening In 1943 should be undertaken with a genuine sense of responsibility. It will pro vide city, town and suburban residents with a worthwhile outdoor activity which in many cases will replace normal forms of recreation. And it will at the same time provide the oppor tunity for a serious contribution to the nation's wartime food pro gram. Those who plan and start gardens should be prepared to take care of them faithfully right through the season as we cannot afford to waste seed, fer tilizer, insecticides and effort this year. lieutenant Charge Op&ns first of its kind in this country in World war II which involves the seditious angle. That the charges against the youthful army officer were con sidered extremely grave was in dicated by the fact that the court martial board is composed of 12 officers, only two short of the maximum under army regula tions. The minimum number for a general court martial is seven. We have fostered the idea and the practice of a community of good neighbors. The internation al law to which we submit our selves is not an international law of the Americans alone, but Is the law of civilized nations everywhere. Secretary of State Cordell Hull.

Nelson of the war production board denied categorically today that Ameri can power projects had been halted or delayed to provide ma terials for the Shipsaw power project of the Aluminum Com pany of Canada, Limited, on the Saguenay river in Quebec. Nelson released a letter writ ten by him to Representative Coffee (D-Wash.), who has intro duced a resolution, now before the house rules committee, call ing for an investigation of power projects. Coffee has complained that public projects in this coun try were halted whilo $62,500, 000 of reconstruction finance corporation funds were provided for private Canadian projects to bring power to the Canadian aluminum plant. "You are apparently under the impression that the Shipsaw power project has been carried i through at the expense of our: own power program, Nelson i wrote. "This is distinctly not i the case. "No American project has been turned down, delayed, or halted to make way for Shipsaw. No materials or equipment intended for American power projects have been diverted to Shipsaw. In fact, most of the materials and equipment for the project were supplied by Canadian sources." Boeing Expects to Set New Records SEATTLE, April 28 (IP) The Boeing Aircraft company will set a new month's record in Ap ril for production of its famed four-engined Flying Fortresses, President P. G. Johnson an nounced yesterday. He emphasized, however, that "further acceleration beyond the 1 present level will necessitate ad ditional manpower." CLEAN BREAK INDIANAPOLIS, (IP) An ig norance of first aid would have saved some Indianapolis police men a little trouble. Arriving at the scene of an ac cident, they hastily improvised a splint for the victim s leg. The injured man was rushed to a hospital, where attendants placed him in bed and went looking for a permanent splint. But before the internes re turned the patient had got up and walked away. OPEN FORUM SALT LAKE CITY, (IP) Traffic Sergeant Owen Poulson gave an Ogden, U., man a traffic ticket charging jaywalking and asked the man to sign it. He wouldn't sign. There was quite a discussion. Now he's charged with Jay walking, assaulting an officer, re sisting an officer, and using abusive language., PLANT "DIABETES" Corn plants are sometimes af flicted with "plant diabetes." They form too much sugar in their tissues and growth is seri ously impaired as a result. To build one of the barrage balloons which guard U. S. coasts and sea lanes, it takes 136 $100 bonds which cost the purchasers only $75 each.

He charged her with obstruct- ! ing an officer. ! It was just an impulse, she told the court and, no! It wasn't I her car!
