ee Thursday, November 26, 1942 UNION PRESS-COURIER THE COMMON DEFENSE | COMMON MEN We are so impressed and overjoyed by the smashing victory of the Bri- | tish Eighth Army in Egypt that we have forgotten, perhaps, how the dis- mal prospects for the British of a few months ago have been changed into the present triumph. After all, no victory in Egypt was possible without providing the armed forces with reinforcements as well as new equipment and supplies of all kinds. These could be brought to th: land only by ship and, since the Axis controlled the thousands of miles of coast between Bardia and Tripoli, the convoys from Britain and the U, S, i could not reach Egypt by the way of the Mediterranean-—a journey of only 3,000 miles, Instead, they had to make the much longer trip of 12,000 miles around the Cape of Good Hope to Al- exandria. That they did success- fully, as it is now clear enough, The British Eighth Army, which has rout- ed the Axis, has been well supplied with both- men and material, There is something very important as well as moving about this patient and determined performance of duty by those unknown seamen who trans- ported soldiers, tanks and guns to Egypt over 12,000 miles of dangerous sea lanes, Their names will never appear in the headlines. They will not receive citations for bravery. Few people in all the world know any of them well enough to call them by their first name. They will probably go on for the rest of their natural lives just, doing their duty in the same obscure | and purposeful way. But, without them, there could have been no vic- tory in Egypt. These seamen represent the com- mon people of the earth of whom Abe Lincoln said that “God must love them because He made so many of them.” They are everywhere. They walk the main streets of our towns and cities. They are in our churches and shops and factories, They mine our coal, till the farms, run the trains| and do countless other things, They are our doctors, lawyers, legislators, teachers, publishers and clergymen, | They are the common people, They are us! We have praised famous men, Now let us praise the common men upon whose strength and loyalty the fu- ture free world ‘Qopanas so much!

FARM CALENDAR Timely Reminders from The Pennsylvania State College School of Agriculture Feed © hicks Well If the fall and winter brooded chicks are to grow well, they must eat enough of a well-prepared mash mixture, say poultry specialists of the Pennsylvania State College, There must be plenty of feeding space and the equipmeni must be arranged so that the chicks will be encouraged to spend enough time in eating. Protect Berry Plants Wheat straw is considered the best material for mulching the strawberry patch, After the ground is frozen, place a thick layer of straw over the bed to prevent alternate thawing and freezing, This causes heaving of the plants, Fruit specialists say mulch can be removed gradually in the early spring: Spray Peach Trees Where leaf curl attacked peach trees this year it is advisable to spray after leaves have fallen and when the temperature is above freezing, Plant pathologists of Penn State College recommend the use of lime sulfur, about five gallons of the concentrate .n 100 gallons of spray. Keep Litter Dry Use of a proper type of litter in sufficient amount to insulate brooder house floors is recommended by Penn State poultry experts for successful brooding of fall and winter chicks. Stir the litter occasionally to keep it dry. Store Sprayer Safely Before the sprayer is stored for the winter it should be thoroughly clean- ed and drained, remind Penn State agricultural engineers.

McDowell, director of the nursery school at Penn State College and a specialist in family relation- ships. Mrs. McDowell warns that mniost| persons under 20 do not have snough| emotional maturity to make a good | choice of partners, and advises that “emotional stability is the most im- | portant deciding factor in determin- | ing whether a marriage will be suc- i | She points out that women must | now face sex strains during separa- | tion, possible post-war invalidism of their husband, possible widowhood, and the necssity of rearing their child Co.

A Week § Washington, D, Cc. There will be less meat, butter and cheese on the] dinner table a few months hence due to Allied fighting men needing more of these foods to build war-time and| war-winning energy, Agricultural De- partment officials have stated. i { They added that when meat ration- | ing Deégins—probably in February it | is a good guess that the weekly al-| lotment for each civilian will be less| than two and one-half pounds orig- |} inally planned, with proportionately | smaller amounts for children. ¢ And there is a good chance that cheese—and possibly butter—will be rationed along with meat. A study by tne Office of Agricul- tural War Relations indicates that civilian consumption of all dairy pro- ducts next year may have to be cut| by about 12'%. per cent, with accent] on butter (18 per cent), cheese (43] per cent) and evaporated and conden- | sed milk (21 per cent). Increased mil- | itary needs and expected smaller milk production were given as the reasons, On the basis of this study, agricul- ture recommende to WPB's food re quirements committee that the gov-| ernment regulate distribution of the dairy products, But the committee decided to make a further study of the milk supply before acting--de- spite a warning by Secretary of Ag- Iture Chas, A, Wickard, commit- it will not be enough to meet the litary and civilian demands. said that rationing of fluid |) 1ay be ordered soon for milk pplying major cities where] ion already has been reduced, » OAWR report said total milk 942 produc tion of 120,000,000,000 Ibs, because of labor and machinery short- dges. 1t said the smaller production |] and increased military requirements may reduce civilian consumption of milk and equivalent products to 738 pounds per person next year, com- pared with 844 pounds this year, an iverage of 806 pounds per person for | 19: 39 inclusive.
