French Children Have So Little, AmericansSo Much, Writes Chap. Mosure from Overseas

The following letter headed'Somewhere in France" and written

by 1st Lt. Chaplain Dudley C.Mosure, former pastor of the CassCity Methodist church, was re-ceived recently by the Chronicle:

It is spring time in France, andhere as there, life is alive andbeautiful. Spring comes earlierthan it does in Michigan. The wildflowers that grow along the roadare much like our own violets, ar-butus, trillium, and the commondandelion. As we have walked intonearby villages, along age oldpaths, all of us have gloried in thebeauty of earth and sky. God andthe ages have given us so muchthat is rich in beauty here that itseems incredible that not far dis-tant man is engaged in mortalcombat.

I have seen where war has been,and it is not a pleasant sight. Onecan scarcely conjure the terribledestruction that war leaves in itswake until he sees it with his owneyes. If our people at home couldsee but a fraction of the sufferingand destruction which war hascaused, I am sure that they wouldnot be nearly so hasty in theircriticism of foreign people, norwould they desire to strike fromtheir war duties.

The little that I have been priv-

ileged to see while here, I shallshare with you. The reaction of thepeople to life is also interesting,and I shall endeavor to write foryou the details as they have im-pressed me.

Thus far I have come in contactwith two distinct types of Frenchpeople. One, the French peasant,the other the cosmopolitan personof the city and larger town. Theyare as different as day is fromnight. Perhaps that is because onthe continent modem civilizationhas not penetrated the rural areasas it has done in America. But inspite of the outward differences, Ihave observed that human natureis much the same whether amongFrench or Americans. For example,the other day I had occasion totravel to a city some distance awayto interview a Red Cross field di-rector, and while passing througha village my driver stopped for afew minutes and the little Frenchchildren along the street came upto our vehicle. They were per-fectly normal children; childrenjust like our own, .except that theyappear to be starved for affection.Some of them put us to shame fortheir English was much better thanour French, and in no time at allone of the little boys 'had scrambled

garden, a plot of land suitable fora town, or even a country gar-den, must be in the open whereit can get direct sunlight atleast six hours a day with noobstructing trees or buildings.

The plot must be well drained. Arich, deep sandy loam free from de-bris is the best all-purpose gardensoil, but such an ideal is rarelyfound. Unless a soil is of such char-acter that it can be spaded in thespring into a loose crumbly condi-tion, it will be difficult to work, ifnot definitely unsuited, to vegetablegrowing. Land that is nearly levelis best because it is easier to workand is less likely to be damagedthrough washing by heavy rains.

Convenience of the garden loca-tion is more important than might

The pencilcreated a slightly greater problem.One little boy immediately wantedto break it in two, but finally wepersuaded him to share it with hiscomrades, and he seemed perfectlywilling to just that. I could nothelp thinking: a stick of gum and alead pencil! How little it took tomake those little French boys hap-py. They as a group have so littleand back home our children haveso much.

It should be as closeto the home as a suitable place canbe found because the garden needssome attention almost every day.Even when it is too wet to plant orcultivate, the gardener should see itevery day or two so as to follow alldevelopments and know in advancewhat work needs to be done. Time-liness is a surprisingly large ele-ment in a successful garden.

There is no one "right" way toarrange or plan a home garden. Thegardener is urged to consider hiaown needs, the climate of his lo-cality and his own particular gar-den spot in planning and arranginghis garden. Conditions and detailsof methods of growing plants differso widely over the country that itis impossible to give a uniform planof growing vegetables that would fitall sections of the country.

A garden much longer than it i»wide is generally more convenientto work. It matters little whetherthe rows run north or south, east,or west, but on a sloping area it isimportant that the rows run acrossthe slope, not up and down, so thatrainfall may be held on or in the soil,instead of running down the slopingrows, carrying away the soil.Plan GardenTo Suit Needs

The anost successful gardenerplans his garden well in advance. Agood sized sketch or map of the plot

.should be drawn, preferably toscale, so that the time and spaceeach crop will occupy can be setdown. Particular attention shouldbe made to replanting. For instanceafter harvesting beans, turnips,beets, carrots should be sown. Theidea is to keep the ground constantlyproducing until frost.

Most gardeners are prone to planttoo much of early crops with theresult that some are wasted. Asuccession of varieties or of plant-

Even on cold rawMarch days the windows in thecountry dwellings are open, for Isuspect that there is no fire inside.The little bit of fuel that each fam-ily has is conserved for a moreneeded time. Many of these rural

owners have been able to accumu-late great wealth, and in many casesthey live in splendid chateaus.Their land is farmed out to tenantfarmers. These people constitute agreat percentage of the peasantclass. In parts of rural France oneof the characteristic features is forthe barns and houses to be built ofeither brick or stone, while the roofis thatched. Even on many of thegreat landed estates, the farmbuildings are so constructed. Thechateau, on the other hand, is abeautiful building with elaboratewoodwork, beautiful glass chande-liers, and exquisite marble fire-places.

It has been my good fortune tovisit Paris' and the city of Eeims.The famous Cathedral of Reims isa real gem in architecture. As wevisited it and paused for prayer be-fore the high altar, our hearts pal-"5

pitated with the knowledge of be-ing in the place whre for manyyears the kings of France havebeen crowned. As one turned andgazed upon the famous Rose Win-dow, his sense of perception wasvastly accentuated by the strikingbeauty there.

After talking to a number ofFrench civilians, I have come tothe conclusion that the better edu-cated French people believe thatour presence here is necessary forultimate victory and for the libera-

Of course now one seldom sees acivilian car along the highways ofFrance, yet people continue to beon the move. Most of them get totheir destination by walking.Walking, I am told, is a universallyaccepted art here on the continent.The custom is spreading to ourranks too for even now, my friendsand I think nothing of starting outon foot at dusk for a nearby vil-lage. Five, seven, or ten miles, noone thinks anything of walkingsuch a distance.

One of the greatest pleasures Ihave lately encountered is to walkinto the village at sunset, listeningto the birds sing their eveningsong, and inhaling the sweetscented arbutus in the evening air,and finally finding myself in thequiet village chapel just as thebells toll; then reverently kneelfor an evening prayer.

I love America! The day I comehome will not be too soon, but Isincerely feel that in our haste, inour, mechanized frenzy, we havelost something of the beauty oflife's solitude. Many of us, some-how, are recapturing that overhere.

As people walk the highways,some more fortunate will ride in atwo-wheeled buggy * or carriage.Their horses are splendid indeed.Most of them seem well groomedand cared for and fancier breedsall have their tails cropped. Manypeople, even elderly women andmen, will ride wherever they aregoing on bicycles, or in some casestandem. But not all travel is soconvenient, even as gauged by Eu-ropean standards. - I saw i.^lkalong the highway trudging undertheir packs and bundles, when sud-denly along came an object whica Ithought I would never live to Lee.There was an old, old woman, toofrail to walk on the journey. Shemight have been any one of ourgrandmothers, and they had loadedher in a, wheelbarrow, and one ofthe men of the household waswheeling her down the road. OnlyGod knows how far that pitifulgroup had to travel.

In the rural areas of France, atleast where I have been, I havefelt that the people were less dis-satisfied with the German rulewhich has been imposed upon

of harvest fromamount planted.

Particular care

the same total

should be taken

those in more densely populatedsections of the country. I feel thatthis is true because in the countryit was more difficult to regimentthe people and to systematicallystarve them. As on our farms athome, it is always easier to getsomething to eat, no matter whatthe reverses, than it is in metro-politan areas. This year though,

ings will give a much longer period rif the peasant farmer has a suc-' ' " cessful growing season, he ought

to be able to raise fine crops.I have watched them plant and

it is interesting to see a man sow-ing his grain by walking along and"broadcasting" it.*" Many of theirmethods of agriculture are stilllike those of centuries ago. In onefield you may see several teams ofhorses, which by the way arehitched up differently from oursThey are always a bit ahead ofeach other. Instead of a span offour horses, there is -a lead horseand the other three follow along.The farmer never drives them aswe do, but walks in front of thelead horse and leads the wholegroup. Then in another field oralong the road carrying a cartbearing some produce, you will seea yoke of oxen. The whole scenewhether in the country or the city,takes you back one, two, or threehundred years. Yet at the sametime there is the occasional cinemaor movie, the tramway or streetcar, and overhead the most modernof all, the airplane.

that tall growing crops like corn ortomatoes will not shade the smallercrops, such as beets or radishes.Then perennial plants, such as as-paragus, rhubarb and various sa-vory herbs, should be kept togetherat one side of the garden wherethey can be conveniently handled"without interfering with the portion-to be plowed or spaded each year.

Where there is any great varia-tion in the composition of the soilin different parts of the garden, it-will be advisable to take this intoconsideration.

If a part of the land is low andmoist, such crops as celery, onions,and late cucumbers should be placedthere. If part of the soil is high,warm and dry, there is the properlocation for early crops and thosethat need quick, warm soil. Per-manent crops, such as asparagus,should be located where they wouldnot interfere with regular cultiva-tion.

those people whose viewpoint islimited, and who do not under-stand the situation as it is, who re-ient the presence of any foreign

people. I had occasion to talk to ayoung French woman at the Red

ross who is a French girl. I askedher if any of the people resentedour being there, and she definitelytold me that she did not and thatnone of them did. Her own fatherwas killed in a bombing raid whichhad to be done in order that ourtroops might liberate the country.

The French cities which I havevisited are interesting indeed. Theyare a contrast between the old andthe new. The ages are entombed inthe sacred walls and knaves ofcathedrals like Notre Dame andReims, while just across the waymodern buildings like that of theFrench War college and the UnitedStates embassy are to be seen.

Many of the store fronts inFrench cities are very modern,making one think of our shoppingdistricts at home. The people whofrequent the streets are dressed invarying costumes. There seems tobe no norm. Some will resemblethe well dressed people at home,while others will have every gar-ment they can find covering theirbodies. This is quite understand-able when one considers that forseveral years most of the peoplehave been laboring under the mosttrying circumstances. As Dr. A. L.Warnshuis in his articles, ''TheChurch Is Still the Hope of Eu-rope," in the Michigan ChristianAdvocate of Mar. 15 said: "Peoplelack the most simple necessities!and then spoke of the Protestantminister in Paris being so gratefulfor such a little thing as a bar ofsoap. T find that his observation isperfectly true. Things that weconsider as absolute necessities,people here do not have. I almostfeel criminal when I eat the candyration which is given weekly to theAmerican soldier through the PostExchange, for I know that the chil-dren in the nearby village havenot had a taste of candy for manya day. I think many of our soldiersfeel that way and not a few con-sistently share their candy rationwith the French children.

In Paris and Reims I have seenFrench civilians so desperatelyhungry that they have literallystood by our G. I. garbage pailsand ladled out the food we havescraped off our plates. I have seenwomen come begging for a supfrom our cups of coffee, and in theface of such destitution I am surethat there is no American soldierwho would refuse the cup, eventhough it meant to deprive himself.

When we are called upon toshare our plenty with these peoplewho obviously have so little, it iscertaMy the task of the Churchand of Christians everywhere to do

packing box which sat on the bareground and around it was draped aclean white sheet. On the impro-vised altar was placed the port-able Chaplain's altar which theMethodist -Commission on Chap-lains has given to every Metho-dist chaplain. There was the redplush of the background set off bytwo lighted candles in silver can-dlesticks with the silver .cross inthe center. On the altar the Ele-ments of Communion were present,covered by the white linen whichyou ladies of the Methodist churchso graciously sent me. The servicewas ready to begin. We used East-er hymns and read the Easter storyfinishing with the story or accountof the two strangers who jour-neyed along the road to Emmaus.Following the prayer, ,a meditationwas given by the chaplain. At theclose of that part of the worship,it was announced that we wouldobserve the Sacrament of HolyCommunion in sacred memory ofour present and living Lord. Anopportunity was given those whodid not wish to participate to leave,but no one left. Every man in aspirit of deep reverence stayed.We sang a Communion hymn andread the ritual service, and thengave the invitation to come to thetable of the Lord. I think that thisCommunion service was the mostimpressive one that I have everattended. In fours and fives, andwith dignity, the soldiers movedquietly forward and before the al-tar of their God received the ele-ments of bread and wine. All dur-ing the service, we had the softmusic of the church hymns playedby a Seventh Day Advent soldier.It was truly a service where allmen of all Protestant groups meton a common ground and before acommon Lord. From Lt. Colonels toPrivates there was no distinction aswe came to the altar of our Lord,for here we feel the need of Hisdivine guidance and His beneficientlove.

I do not subscribe for a momentto the theory that there is a greatturning of the men in our army toreligion. But I will say that forthose men who have in their child-hood been in Sunday school and inchurch, for those men who have.come from Christian and Jewishhomes, I feel that the good influ-ence of former days is much inevidence here. When the going getstough and loneliness and fatigueengulf them, they do not forget toturn to the faith of their fathers.It is here that a chaplain who lovesmen and has something of the com-passion of Christ, can do a greatdeal of good.

I must tell you about my firstEaster service on foreign soil. Itwas a rainy, cold, gloomy first dayof April. The mud under foot wasvery much in evidence, so naturallythere was no dress uniform amongour troops, only the somber drab ofan American field dress. Quitesome contrast with the beauty ofhighly decorated churches andfreshly groomed civilians who cometo worship on Easter Sundaymorning back home. Yet underthese abnormal conditions, I felta strange sense of loyalty on thepart of my men. There was a deepsincerity and a desire to be in HolyCommunion with God on Easterday, just as every man presentknew his mother, his sister, or hiswife or sweetheart would be doingback in the states. At the appoint-ed hour of ten o'clock, church callwas given .and our men filed intothe barren and somewhat cold wardtent to -attend Divine services. Thetent was soon filled and a numberof men were standing. At the frontof the congregation my assistant!

Pleat Marks, As an extra precaution againstpleat marks in pressing, slip stripsof paper tinder the folds. Use thesame trick to prevent marks whenpressing seams, darts, facings, pock-et flaps and neckties. Pin pleatsonly if they refuse to behave other-wise. But it's better to pin thanto^risk losing the original crease.To avoid pin marks, press onlyenough to set pleats; remove pins;go over hemline lightly once again.When pleats are in groups, let firstgroup dry in position before push-ing off board to make way for thenext.

Production of highly sensi-tive instruments for war can be halted by air-borneparticles 100 times smaller than the naked eye can see.Some products are ruined by only a slight contam-ination of the atmosphere. Air that is fit to breathemay not be clean enough for certain manufacturingprocesses. These tiny particles cannot be removed byordinary mechanical filters. But cleaning the air byelectronic precipitation traps particles as small as one

INTERPRETING THE NBWji

Inclination of the Michigan statelegislature to accept Governor Kel-ly's recommendation that addi-tional state aid for local governments be financed in part by asubstantial hike in the state liquorprofits may be regarded as a com-plimentary recognition of the basicmerits of Michigan's liquor monopoly system.

The legislators' action is not being taken in any mood of sentiment.

Eighteen months ago a wave ofcriticism began to rise against thestate setup. Consumers were complaining of a lack of supplies underthe rationing system; drys weredecrying lack of adequate enforce-ment. Frank McKay, former Re-publican national committeemanbegan a personal crusade to abol-ish the monopoly system.

Public criticism was growing.One year ago, a two-fisted "noman," General L. A. Kunzig, wahired as business manager. LastDecember, William F. Edmonson,former city manager of Pontiacwas replaced by John P. Aaron, thegovernor's personal secretary, aschairman of the commission. Thesemoves were frank admissions thatMichigan's monopoly plan was on$rial. Critics were predicting direthings would happen by time thelegislature met at Lansing.

What happened to cause a re-verse of public opinion?

Nothing else that the power of in-formation as gathered by ClarenceW. Lock, state deputy revenue com-missioner, and Chas. A. Parrish,chief of the liquor commission en-forcement • division, in a fact-find-ing survey of six nearby states.

Whether the reversal is perma-nent or temporary remains to beseen. Michigan travelers who visitNew York City and Chicago inwartime years invariably returnhome with glowing accounts of theaboundance of liquor in thosecities. But for the most part theysay little, if anything, about howmuch consumers were paying forliquor in those cities.

It was the Lock-Parrish reportthat emphasized such facts asthese: Michigan bottle' prices aver-age 67 cents less than Illinois bot-tle prices and 70 cents less thanNew York prices. Michigan is amonopoly state whereby govern-ment functions as both wholesalerand retailer; Illinois and New York

"Even with the wartime 10 percent increase in liquor prices, asproposed by the state legislature,Michigan bottle prices will averageless than those in open states," re-ports Chairman Aaron.

"Basically, Michigan's system issound. Our problem is one of con-trol, rather than of revenue. Thepublic must insist upon law en-forcement by local governmentswhich receive 85 per cent of theliquor fee revenue just for thatspecific purpose. We have nothingto hide under the rug, and we wel-come the public's cooperation."

Aaron indicated that the statecommission had a responsibility inimposing stiffer penalties on lawoffenders whose licenses are sub-ject to revokation.

Egg YolksThe feed definitely determines the

color of egg yolks. Green feed andyellow corn control the intensity ofthe yellow color.

Yank Soldiers

Taller and Heavier ThanTheir Fathers of

World War I.

WASHINGTON. — Ten millionsoldiers of this war aggregate 98miles taller than a similar numberof their fathers would have totaledin World War I.

They weigh 46,100 more tons.They are, it is beginning to ap-

pear, a healthier lot.The height and weight figures

come from adding up data in a re-port of the army service forces, of-fice of the surgeon general, medi-cal* statistics division, Washington.

This report says that the 1943 in-ductees average .62 of an inch tall-er than recruits of 1917. Averageheight: Present war, 5 feet, 8.11inches. World War I, 5 feet, 7.49Inches.

In weight this war's inducteesaverage 9.22 pounds heavier. The re-spective weights are 150.76 against141.54.

As to the 4-F's.The nation's 4-F's fall in a class

between the present inductees andthe 1917 recruits in both heights andweight. The 4-F's are .29 of an inchshorter than their brothers of thiswar. They are .62 of a pound light-er.

This 4-F height is about midwaybetween the tops of the two wars.But he is almost as heavy as theinductees and almost nine pounds»ver the 1917 boys.

This greater weight and heighttrend of the 4-F's probably is sig-nificant as an indicator that despiteiheir rejection, they are physicallytetter than their opposites of WorldFar I.

Military evidence'ls now accumu-lating that their brothers, the in-Juctees, are really healthier thantheir father's generation. From sev-eral sources recently has come astatement that the better recovery!rom wounds in this war is due tosetter health of the men.

Definite Improvement.Maj. Gen. Paul R. Hawley, chief

mrgeon, European theater of opera-ions, made this statement in a for-nal release passed by censor inOctober this year:

"The physical condition of theighting men hi this war shows aiefinite improvement over the physi-:al condition of soldiers in the Civilvar and World War I. This is due.o a large extent to an improve-ment in nutrition of infants and inpublic health measures.

"It is credited with having mucho do with the ability of soldiers torecover from_ wounds, but there are>ther reasons."

These other reasons include suchihings as improved surgery, plasma,tnd sulfas.

In the same theater of war, Col.fohn Gordon, who was professor ofpreventive medicine at Harvard,writes:

Preventive medicine has been axemendous factor in cutting downillness and in building strong bodiesvhich can better withstand wounds.

"One of the most helpful aspectsn this work has been the vastimount of preventive medicine that*as been practiced among and bymr civilian population in the UnitedStates. This building up of thelealth level in civilians has beenreflected in the state of health oftoe men when they came into theirmy."

Develop Jute Cloth forRAF Airfield in India

HDG. SOUTHEAST ASIA COM-MAND, KANDY, CEYLON. — Alew, lightweight airfield surfacinglas been developed by the Indianjute industry and is now being usedjn RAF fields in India and Assam.

The new surfacing, called "Bith-sss," is made of bitumen-impreg-nated hessian, a coarse cloth madeyt jute. It is cheaper, lighter andtnore pliable than portable steelmatting. "Bithess" is used as afoundation, to prevent water fromjeeping up from below in airstripspnade on converted rice fields. As ajurfacing it has withstood heavyrains.

Belgium Is Planning toSeize Wartime Profits

BRUSSELS. — A 100 per cent taxon war profits will be introduced inBelgium in the next few months totvipe out all gains made byprofiteers. It is also understood thatfortunes made in the bourse duringthe German occupation will be con-fiscated.

The measures are expected tobe introduced when bonds, stocks,shares and property accounts, nowregistered by the government, arereleased from frozen bank accounts.

The tax is expected to produce50,000,000,000 francs and will playan important part in the nation'sdeflation.

Strain of War CuttingLives of Home Doctors

ST. LOUIS. — Dr. Edgar G. Bal-Isnger of Atlanta believes that twoor three years has been cut fromthe life of home-front doctors be-cause of wartime overwork.

"From looking over statistics onmortality of doctors as published inthe Journal of the American Medi-cal association, I have seen that themortality rate of doctors left athome has far exceeded that of thosein the armed forces."

tiveness of a good carpet sweeper onyour daily rounds. The modernsweepers have brushes which adjustthemselves to carpets of differentthickness. The wide rubber bump-ers protect furniture from scratchesand the dust pan lifts right out foreasy emptying. Where electricitymust be conserved for war produc-tion, carpet sweepers can be usedto prolong time between vacuumcleanings.

Out-of-Season BreedingIn the production of goat's milk,

there is need to obtain a more evendistribution of the milk supplythroughout the year than is the caseat present. To do this, out-of-seasonbreeding must be accomplished. Ac-cordingly, a study was made inwhich female milk goats were artifi-cially stimulated by hormones, withthe result that one-third of themfreshened ahead of the regular kid-ding season. Semen studies, alsomade during the year, indicated thatbucks in good condition are suitablefor breeding at all times of the yearalthough less sexual activity wasshown during May and June, whendoes normally are not breeding.

Finishing FacingsWays of finishing facings differ

with the kind of material you have.If your goods is cotton or some otherlightweight fabric, turn under theedge of the seam allowance on thefacing about one-sixteenth inch,then, stitch. If your goods is thickor non-washable, finish facing bytrimming off the seam allowanceand stitching ribbon seam bindingflat along the edge. Or machine-stitch along the edge and overcast.

Keep Draperies FreshTo keep draperies fresh, brush

often with a whisk broom or cleanwith a vacuum-cleaner attachment.Or, shake and air them.

WHEN you plant Sugar Beets, youaregrowinga cash crop that not

only will pay you a big return—but willpay dividends in following years byimprovement in fertility of the land.

For Sugar Beets are beneficial in acrop rotation plan.

The roots of the Sugar Beet pene-trate the soil to a depth of from fourto six feet. When the main root ispulled, thousands of little rootlets areleft in the soil. It is estimated thatthese will run over a ton to the acre.

When these rootlets decompose, arich deposit of humus is left in thesoil—of considerable value to fol-lowing crops.

Moreover, the decomposition ofthese rootlets opens up the soil struc-ture for better aeration and moisture-holding.

Add to this, the fact that SugarBeets require thorough seed bed prep-aration and cultivation—which en-ables you to clean up weedy fields—

from which following crops willbenefit.

Sugar Beets can use profitably plentyof fertilizer—and the residual effect:left increases the yields of crops thaftfollow for several years.

There is a tremendous national need;for sugar in 1945. 13 5,000 Michiganacres in Sugar Beets is the goal of theU. S. Government.

Marvin A.Jones, War Food Admin-istrator, has promised every possibleassistance in supplying labor for theSugar Beet crop and we sitajFe hisconfidence that all beets planted canbe worked and harvested. This laborwill also be available for use on othercrops. So the best way to assure anadequate supply of field labor in Mich-igan is to plant Sugar Beets.

Go over your planting plans againand see how beneficial a crop ofSugar Beets will prove. Then decideto devote as many acres as possible toSugar Beets. You will be performinga highly patriotic service by contract-ing and planting as many acres inSugar Beets as you possibly can.
