Lawrence declar- {ed the other day that the record of the 1943 Republican controlled legis- lature “is so bad that even the strong stomachs of professional Republican apologists rebel ai its contemplation. In a speech prepared for delivery | at an Allegheny county Jefferson day dinner, Lawrence charged that the Legislature was “marked by indiffer- ence and failures, was poorly led by the Republican governor and was ut- terly lacking in the spirit of these critical times.” “Gov. Martin could get anything he wanted from that legislature,” Lawrence said. “Instead, the General | ; : ' Summer is a healthful time for pose to lead his regiments from be- babies—some are benefitted — others (hind, and the session withered in in- are over-exposed. CANNING INSPECTION AT NEW PEAK DURING 1942 i The official inspection of canning crops in Pennsylvania reached an all-time - record high of 353 million pounds during the 1942 season, Sec- retary of Agriculture Miles Horst has announced. The previous high point was in 1941 when 312 million pounds of | crops grown for processing were in- | spected by Agriculture Department inspectors. i Xo shoot. aC if elaim, have been dropping arms | NAZI FRISKS YUGOSLAV SUSPECT IS RIGHT ARM FREE dter in Yug i a peasant suspected of guerilla activity.

Lawrence further charged that the Legislature had: “Failed to extend the state’s shel- tering care to the children of moth- ers working in war industries. “Enacted legislation making it more difficult for war workers to vote in Philadelphia. “Killed legislation which would have given all returning soldiers a share in p.nemployment compensa- tion should they be unabie to find work immediately. “Adopted a post-war planning pro- gram modeled on the lines of For- mer Governor James’ ridiculous job moblization campaign. “Created a record number of com- missions, all with fat appropriations, to study problems which it is the legislature's duty to face and not to evade.” Lawrence said the Republican Ad- ministration “came into Harrisburg with fair words and patriotic spee- ches,” and declared “they gave the people as political a session as this state has ever seen.” ——Y | MAIZE SEEKS NEW ELECTRIC TRAILIANG CABLES FOR MINES Richard Maize, acting mines secre- duction Board “to take immediate steps” to assure the anthracite and bituminous mines of Pensylvania an adequate supply of new electric trail- ing cables for mining equipment. Unless such actions are taken “at the very earliest moment,” Maize de- rate many mines in ‘the | and soft coal fields “with a :eason- able degree of safety, and to main- tain necessary production. Maize, who has fought successful- ly on previous occasions for relaxa- tion of federal regulations hampering coal production, said he had placed the matter directly before Donald Nelson, WPB director; Harold Ickes, solid fuels coordinator, and Arthur S. Knoisen, director of W. P. B.’s min- ing equipment division. Declaring that the state mine in- spectors had been countenancing de- fective cables because of the vital ne- cessity of continued fuel production, Maize said they now feel “they should no longer continue to jeopard- ize the lives of the men working in the mines—and, unless something is done immediately, production will certainly decrease.” In many cases, Maize asserted, ca- bles have been spliced and respliced so often that their continued use en- dangers the lives of the men hand- ling them and multiplies hazards of fires and explosions to such an ex- tent that the defective cables wil have to be discontinued.” eV MILK. Milk production per cow in Penn- sylvania on April 1st averaged 18.2 pounds and represented about the customary seasonal increase for that period of the year, according to the report of the Federal-State Crop Re- porting Service issued by the Secre- tary of Agriculture Miles Horst.

Catherman has offered the folowing suggestions for discouraging that nemisis of all city and town gardeners, the lowly rab- bit. One repellent commonly reported to be very effective is powdered lime sprinkled lightly on the plants when they are damp. The sprinkling of dusting sulphur liberally over the] plants is also effective. Others in- | clude wood ashes and red pepper pris. | ed and sprinkled on the plants; three ounces of epsom salts to one gallon | of water; or one teaspoonful of cre- | olin or lysol to one gallon of water. | Dried blood or blood meal may be] sprinkled on and along the rows of | plants, and rain only makes it more | effective. In the case of small back- | yard gardens, the bloody water in| which meat or poultry has been] washed should be saved and sprinkled | on the vegeiables. If properly used, none of these is injurious to the plan- | ts but rabbits do not like them. | Some of the regular commercial sprays when properly used serve a dual purpose, Protector Catherman pointed out, Among the commercial insecticides, “‘Blackleaf Forty” (a to- | bacco extract) used in the proportion ! of two teaspoonfuls to one gallon of | soapy water is effective in controll- | ing many of the common garden in- | sect pests, and is also a satisfactory repellent to rabbits. The frequency with which these repellents must be used depends upon the amount of the ! rainfalland the rate of plant growth. | Game Protector Catherman said that some people have had splendid success by stretching rope, heavy cord, binder twine, or similar mater- ial, soaked in creosote around vege- table beds a few inches from the ground. Others have used empty soft drink, catsup, or other bottles, on | their vegetable beds. These are plac- | | ed on the ground, neck down, at few { feet intervals over the vegetable | beds and apparantly the reflection of | light from the bottles scares the rab- | bits away. | | Another device consists of stretch- ing heavy string or cord around the vegetable bed about eighteen inches above the ground, depending upon the | kind of crops grown, and attaching | thereto white cloth sreamers about a foot apart. These streamers should not quite reach the ground, and when | the wind blows they will be more ef- fective. Moth balls scattered around the edge of the garden or vegetable bed have been successful in many instances in keeping rabbits, as well : as deer, from destroying crops. There a “gther simple p e made produce the desired results. Those who know about other successful ones should share that knowledge with their neighbors, Game Protector Catherman said. — Na | STATE INSPECTS TOURIST CABIN CAMPS ANNUALLY Tourist Cabin Camps in Pennsyl- vania are inspected annualy by the Sanitary Officers of the State De- partment of Health with particular attention paid to water supplies, me- thods of waste disposal and food hsn- dling where meals or refreshments are served. A survey by district sanitary offi- cers of the health department in 1939 | showed a total of 829 Tourist Cabin | Camps located at favorable sites al- ong the more frequently traveled hi- ghways, and at points of scenic or historical interest in the rural sec- tions. In ten years the business had grown from a few isolated camps in- to a flourishing activity. Last year there was a pronounced drop in the number actually open for business. DO YOU KNOW? Smallpox, which 150 years ago, was the greatest scourge of mankind, is entirely eradicated in many extensive areas. Arthritis, or inflammation of the joints, cripples more than 6,500,000 persons in the United States and cau- ses more days lost from work than industrial accidents. —Buy bonds and stamps weekly.
