"It's Gardening
Time" Says Miss
Lena Sturges
"It's gardening time now, and vic-
tory gardeners will do well to start
j their gardens now," stated Miss Lena
Sturges, County Home Demonstra-
tion Agent for the Texas A. & M. Ex-
tension Service.
Give lots of attention to prepara-
tion of the garden plot. If you can't
get your garden planned and har-
rowed carefully, do a good job with
a spading fork and a rake. Spade
it deep but get the fertilizer well
mixed and the soil well pulverized.
If you're still in the planning stage,
| here's a few suggestions:
If you've got the space in your
garden try to include some vine or
bush type vegetables.
Regardless of what else you plant,
include plenty of green, leafy and
yellow vegetables, plus lots of toma-
toes.
i
If your garden space is limited,
j leave out the potatoes and sweet corn,
j You'd need af, least a 50 by 100 foot
! garden before you try corn, and don't
go too heavy on radishes and onions
as most amateurs do.
Be sure to get the weeds early—
and when thinning time comes, do
that job well, so your vegetables will
be well-shaped and they'll grow off
quickly.
When it comes to bugs—get them
early, and make your motto, "Shoot
to Kill." Your county home demon-
stration agent can give you a chart
on insecticides to use.

nounced today that word had been
received authorizing the enlistment
of women for the Women's Army
Corps by branch, job, and station.
"Women between the ages of 20
and -19, inclusive, not in essential war
work, without children under 14 years
of age," Colonel Philips said, "are
now offered, under this new authori-
zation, more opportunities than ever

Action of the Office of Defense
Transportation to provide more re-
frigerator cars for the perishable
food production areas of Texas is
announced by K. (). Walker, Dallas,
assistant district railway director of
the Division of Railway, ODT.
The ODT calls for more drastic
curtailment of use of refrigerator

wine and canned goods are requested
to reduce requirements to avoid im-
position of an I.C.C. service order.

For Relieving Miseries of
Childrens Colds
More than two generations ago—in
grandmother's day—mothers first dis-
covered Vicks VapoRub. Today it is
the most widely used home-remedy for
relieving miseries of children's colds.
And here is the reason . . .
The moment you rub VapoRub on
the throat, chest and back at bedtime
it starts to work two ways at once—
and keeps on working for hours—to
ease coughing spasms, help clear con-
gestion in cold-clogged upper breath-
ing passages, relieve muscular .oreness
or tightness. It promotes restful sleep.
Often most of the misery of the cold
is gone by morningl That's 1
VapoRub is so good to use when c
strike. Try it!

Given Job Preference
"When the eligible women who are
not already in essential war work
wish to make their contribution the
war effort," Colonel Philips continued,
"we hope they will remember that
the WAC is offering them the op-
portunity to request the job they
wish at the Army Post nearest their
home in the branch of service they
prefer."
Concluding, Colonel Philips said,
"This new plan of recruitment has
given the District Army Recruiting
Office in the Calcasieu Building. 214
Broadway, San Antonio, the author-
ity to enlist several women for ser-
vice in the Women's Army Corps as
recruiters at our District Headquart-
ers."
Further information about all these
wonderful new opportunities in the
Women's Army Corps may be obtain-
ed at the Army Recruiting Office in
the Post Office Huilding in Corpus
C'hristi and in Austin, at the Recruit-
ing Office in San Antonio, or from
any of the Air WAC teams.
