spade along with the seeds and buy
the fresh vegetables at the corner
grocery.
Fortunately, civic pride combined
with a good health egotism combine
to keep the amateur digger up on
his toes and down on his heels, and
the second week of intensive culti-
vation brings with it the second
wind.
Many a front yard paved with
hard-pan and furnace ashes is about
to get the surprise of its life, and
many a personal spare-tire is about
to melt away under the influence of
the spring sunshine, the prelimin-
ary spading, the eternal hoeing and
weeding, and the pursuit of the agile
potato-bug.
Such activity has a way of pro-
moting complete relaxation immedi-
ately after sundown, with an over-
whelming desire to hit the hay with
the nightingale instead of the morn-
ing robin. Expensive body contour-
ing salons charge real folding money
for stream-lining the figure. Stream-
[ine it yourself, and have a truck-
patch instead of a depleted pocket
| book to show for the lost poundage
and the increased muscle fiber.
With the point-system of food
rationing in full swing, and the
point requirements for each canned
vegetable twice as high as foreseen
by the most pessimistic, Victory |
Gardens are promoted from the pa-
triotic-gesture class to the class of
absolute necessity.
There need be no hardship in the
matter of rationing food, if each
family is willing to do its share.
There are plenty of cereal foods on
hand, plenty of wheat, plenty of
rice. There will undoubtedly and
inevitably be a lack of the variety
that we have been. accustomed to
[expect on our dinner tables. So
what? If everybody makes a point
of growing tomatoes for summer use
ba for winter canning, the vita-
mins and minerals contained in this
most versatile of vegetables will ad-
equately balance the starches.
Tomatoes are probably the most
important vegetable that can be
grown. People crossing the desert
take along canned tomatoes to allay
thirst. Tomatoes make a marvelous
tomato-butter, and their use in ev-
eryday cookery is varied as the
patches in an old-fashioned quilt.
It seems reasonable to suppose
that only those people fortunate
to have large and sunny plots of
ground should attempt to grow
anything that takes up as much
room as potatoes and corn, but
surely almost everybody has room
for a few tomato plants.
Several years ago, in fact, imme-
diately after the last world confla-
gration, with the Armies of Occupa-
tion still in Europe and the Stars
and Stripes flying from the Ehren-
breitstein, I had occasion to take a
trip down the Moselle River. After
twenty-five years, the terraced gar-
dens along the river stand out in
my mind as marvels of engineering
ingenuity. The slope was so pre-
cipitous that walls of solid masonry
assisted nature in providing space
{Resolutions Sent
To Mrs. Thomas Him
for the grave vines. A perpendicular
twenty-foot wall provided precari- |
ous toe-hold for three little grape-
vines. There was, of course, no pos- |
sibility of cultivation except by |
hand, as nothing less sure-footed !
than .a mountain ‘goat could have |
negotiated those precipitous slopes.
From the road along the river far |
below, the walls had the appearance
of actually leaning toward each:
other, and I have always been con-
vinced that the harvesting of the

Nimble-footed children of six,
wearing little work smocks of black
sateen, worked side by side with
smocked oldsters of eighty-four, |
painfully scratching the thin soil on |
the narrow ledges and exercising |
great care that not a spoonful of
the precious soil be lost. Fertilizer |
was carried up the winding cork- |
screw paths in wicker baskets ar- |
ranged papoose-fashion on the back
of the gardener. One mis-step and |
the gardener, basket, fertilizer'and |
jall, would have been in the river |
| below. |

Grieved by the loss of one of
their most faithful members and
church workers, members of the
Official Board and Board of Trustees
of Dallas Methodist Church have
prepared the following resolutions to
be published in The Dallas Post and
sent to the wife and daughters of
the late Thomas P. Him.
The resolutions: :
Official Board of the First Metho-
dist Church of Dallas, Pennsylvania,
is faced with a real sense of loss in
the passing of Mr. Thomas P. Him,
who at the time of his death was a
member of the Board of Trustees,
Treasurer of the Current Expense
Fund, Church Lay Leader, member
of the Board of Stewards and of
the Finance Committee. He was in-
tensely interested in the program of
the Church and was helpful in plan-
ning and carrying out that program.
His thoughtful and common sense
advice was a real contribution to
the Boards and the minister.
Therefore, we desire to record
our feeling of loss and to express to
his wife and daughters, our deepest
sympathy in our common loss.
Through prayer we have already
and will continue to claim for you
the sustaining power of the grace
of God. :
The Boards by their actions on
March 2, 1943 directed that a copy
of this expression of sympathy be
sent to the family of Mr. Him and
to The Dallas Post.
FOR THE OFFICIAL BOARD
William M. Baker, President,
; Board of Trustees.
Arthur P. Keefer, Secretary,
~ Official Board.

{tered the Back Mountain League

Dallas Township who is tied for
| first place with the Boro.
The Boro team averages 52.7
j points per game, while their op-
{ ponents average 43.2 points per
' game.
The success of the team is due
to the cooperation of the team it-
self, the Coach, Howard C. Tinsley,
|and the managers, William Bogart,
land Paul Helfrich.
