There are so many definitions for freedom, It is what you call an allur- ing word—because it means all things to all people. Ask the small boy on a spring day and he'll answer you promptly “No school and the fish biting.” Ask the speculator, he’ll say, “No restrictions —and a quick market.” Ask the dic- tator, and he’ll say, “A fat neighbor WEEKLY HEALTH TALK As Compiled by the Medical So- ciety of Pennsylvania. “Get 'em out of bed!” dekh This is the newest procedure with patients, according to many medical authorities, oe oe ok ok ok Complete bed rest is decried as be- ing hazardous in a number of instan- ces. kkk Being forced to spend hours or days in a recumbent position causes disturbances of function.

Freedom must demonstrate to the world that a diversity of cul- | ture strengthens our nation, feeding j with fresh water the springs of na- | tional life. | Freedom is justice and we must | | remember that in a court of justice a man is honest until proven other- wise. Judgment is not passed on what others have done. Judge not thy neighbors by others. There are good and bad in every creed and more good than bad. One man’s freedom is another man’s freedom—whether it be in America, in China, in Norway, or in darkest Africa. No man is realy free uness all men are free. No man’s home is safe unless all men’s homes are safe. What is freedom to you? Think it over carefully and then apply it to your fellow men, to your brother. It must fit you both, or it is not free- dom. a NP EO STATE NURSERIES SOLD MANY TREES LAST SPRING Nursery stock shipments by the i Department of Forests and Waters during the spring of 1944, reported by Secretary James A. Kell, were. 1,125 orders of forest trees, 80 per cent of them to farmers, or a total of 3,606,- 000 seedlings and transplants and 3,- 260 ornamentals. The trees shipped by the Depart- ment (seedlings and transplants) were used to reforest upwards of 2,- 500 acres of land. They will eventu- ally take the place of timber which is now being cut for use in the war effort from farm woodlots and state forest lands. Species planted include —(confires) red pine, white pine. Norway spruce, white spruce, pitch pine, banks pine, hemlock, Japanese larch; (hardfoods) black locust, black walnut, red oak, white oak. Trees are furnished by the Depart- ment of Forest and Waters to private land owners for planting in the state for reforestation and watershed pro- tection at approximately the cost of production. This is $2.00 a thousand for seedlings and $5 a thousand for transplants. Ornamental trees are dis- tributed only for growing on state lands, federal lands, and public sch- ool grounds. It is thought that, with a normal growing summer, the following spe- cies of trees will be available this fall: red pine, white pine, white spruce, hemlock, Japanese larch, banks pine, black locust, black wal- nut. Requests for nursery stock should be sent to the Division of Forest Management, Harrisburg. tors or his kindred. Only by his com- in the mountains. While the state plan is still in the tentative stage, the Stae Council is considering the possibilty of coord-i nating the services of forest fire fi- ghters, sportsmen’s clubs and Boy Scouts of the Life, Eagle and Senior grades, to augment the Civilian De- fense unit, comprising a small army that would be ready to act immedi- ately in the event of any plane dis- aster within the state. AGRICULTURE. Peansyivanla farmers in 1943 at- tained ten placements among the ten highest ranking states in the nation Secretary of Agriculture Milts Horst | has declared as the result of a sur- vey by the Federal State Crop Re- porting Service in the State Depart- ment of Agriculture. The report shows that the Keystone State now holds the following rankings: third in the value of chickens on January 1, sixth in the number of chickens raised on farms last year, seventh in the number of eggs produced in 1943, seventh in the number of chickens inventoried January 1, tenth in the | number of turkeys raised in 1943. 9th |in the value of turkeys on farms on { January 1, ninth in milk production | for 1943, tenth in the number of milk | cows and heifers two years or older land ninth in the value of horses and ' colts on farms as of January 1. iat | DO YOU KNOW? Due to the required immunization | procedure, there has been no case of tetanus (lockjaw) among the battle- wounded in the entire United States Army in the past two and one-half years. By contrast tetanus is a con- stant menace among civilians because so few have sought the simple immu- nization by tetanus toxoid available to soldier and civilian alike ,except that the latter must ask his docor for it. —— xy PAY REVISION. The Department of Welfare, with the approval of the Governor and the Executive Board, has announced a salary adjustment plan, effective on July 1 ,1944, for employees of all in- stitutions supervised by that depart- ment. New minimum salaries have been established and all institutional employees now receiving less than the new rate in approximately eighty salary classification ranges will have their pay revised upward. The incre- ases vary from $5 to $25 a month. —— Ve, PIGS. Showing only a five per cent drop from last year the Spring pig crop of 1944 is estimated to toal 570,000 pigs saved on Pennsylvania farms. This compares with a national de- cline of 24 per cent, according to the annual June pig crop report of the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service, State Department of Agri- culture. higher than you have been pay- | ing...but when you see this sort of quality, tailoring and luxury ...youll know that a Fashion Park suit 1s the suit you want... and that the few extra dollars are the best you ever invested.
