Victory Garden Trek
Showed'Many Fine Spots
To Meet Food Problem
(Contributed)
That part of the Victory Gar-
den pilgrimage which took the
caravan in the alleys of the city,
saw for a large part alleys that
were in bad need of attention in
spite of the fact that the city has
offered to haul off free all trash
placed in the alleys. Many of
the aMeys had weeds growing so
high that views of gardens were
cut off. However, the caravan
was well worth the trouble spent
in getting to the gardens In more
ways than one.
First it aroused a sense of ap-
preciation of ithose good citizens
who spent so many hours in meet-
ing the war time food situation-
Second, it helped to arouse a
feeling against the habitual alley
litfter-upper and may lead to
something being done about get-
ting the city clean for a more
healthful1 summer sine© weeds
are a distinct contribution to
bad health conditions and is
warned against by the State
Health Department.
Fine Cooperation
The manner in which Denison
responded to raising the Victory
Gardens forms one of the out-
standing incidents of a city-wide ]
cooperation and revealed that
more than 1220 persons planted
some sort of war time garden to
meet the food situation.
The work done through the
Chamber of Commerce, the Deni-
son Garden club and the head of
the agricultural club of the
Denison High school, Doyle Wil'-
liams bore telling results.
Winners in the contest were in
order as to place, George (Homer,
Mrs. Walfter Padgett, F. D.
Clark and Mrs. T. C. Smith. A
display of the garden truck is
being held at the Denison Cham-
ber of Commerce building.
The pilgrimage of gardens
which started from the home of
Mrs. Luther Cherry Wednesday
morning, led to the following
places where gardens were plant-
ed which rated 140 points or

If You Know About the
Second Front, Don't Tell
Oklahoma City.—Captain Le-
land P. Lovette of the Navy Pub-
lic (Information Rureau in Wash-
ington predicts that the second
front will be many fronts. And
he couples his prophecy with this
warning: ,
Peopl'e and the press' should
quit speculating on when and
where the second front will be.
They should leave it up to the
high command.
Captain Lovette, who is direc-
tor of the Navy Public Informa-
tion Rureau, adds this thought:
Think what a disaster i|t would
be if the enemy were tipped off,
and the second front invasion
should miscarry. Then you can
see why not even an admiral is
capable of saying where the next
blows should be struck.

Violin Playing Restoring
Memory to Girl, 1$ Clai'm;
Page Jack Benny' Bee
San Diego, California.—The
haunting strains of a vioMn have
begun rolBing back the mental
darkness that has gripped an
eight-year-old girl for 64 days.
The child* Dorleen Dawn Pea-
body, is beginning to emerge
from her long siege of sleeping
sickness, led back (to conscious
ness by the violin playing of her
teacher, Robert Krnz. Doorleen
opened her eyes last Friday as
Kranz played and softly began to
hum the tune. Five minutes
after the violin was silent, Door-
leen lapsed back irtfto a coma.
Rut her parents feel that she is
definitely improving — that the
crisis is past.

If every man, woman and
k|g child in the United States lays
aside $100 the aggregate will
be about $13,000,000,000 or the
amount the Treasury must
• raise in Its Second War Loa
(By A Staff Writer)
With the continued shortage of
farm labor, and with the police
of some of the ciiits and towns
of Grayson talking of using those
called vagrants on farms, the
cry fo«r labor to save the food
and farm products still is heard
in Grayson county.
Howiever, a trip up and down
the streets of the average town
in Grayson will find the same
old crowd of loafers hanging
around and the same crowd of
young fellows playing the games
and killing precious time at pub-
lic resorts.
Just what makes a vag is a
matter to be determined by the
police, but the average man
knows very little difference be-
tween a vagrant and a loafer and
it may come about that the offi-j
cials seeking workers for the
farms will see likewise and put
some of these habitually idle folk
on some kind of constructive
work.
Talk is that the county commis
sioners court may declare aril
emergency and take the neces-1
sary steps to provide farmers
with the help they need unless
something is done at an early
date to remedy the situation.
With the season at hand foil
harvesting graijn in this county,]
and soon after that baling of
hay, and other crop gathering to
last for several months, it be-
comes a patriotic duty to conserve
the food and farm products in
'the face of the fact that a crop
[shortage and food shortage is
facing this country, and the citi-
zens generally will' indorse a
forced placing of labor on farms
if it can not be secured other-
wise.
Considerable talk was had
some weeks about placing the
young people out of school on the
farms to help Also there is the
idea of a volunteer closing up of
Ibusiness houses for a certain per-
iod each week to permit the em-
ployees and proprietors to give
aid on the farm. But aid of this
kind is not steady enough and
the crops must be gathered right
on through the season day in
and out when the weather per-
mits and dependable help when
needled is the chief need of farm-
ing.
Maybe there ought to be a
kind of badge to mark the man
who can and won't work to help
in the war, just as there is a
badge or other insignia to indi-
catte our fighting men. That's
something for the police to work
out.
Pneumonia Is
Danger At This
Time, Dr. Says
The unusually high incidence
of pneumonia in Texas at this
time, being over twice that of
the seven mfcdiaa la un-
doubtedly one of the dangerous
and disabling sequelae of the
current epidemic of influenza ac-
cording to Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer.
"Pneumonia is a killing dis-
ease and a contagious one," Dr.
Cox warns. "Jt is definitely
transmitted from one person to
another in the same manner as
other contagious diseases. The
pneumonia patient should be iso-
lated with the exception of the
attendant, and all paper tissues
used for receiving nose and
throat discharges should be imme-
diately burned."
Dr. Cox advises all persons sus-
pecting the presence of influenza
to pllace themselves immediately
under the care of the family phy-
sician and abide implicitly by his
instructions. * i
Pneumonia is declared the most
frequent complication resulting
from influenza and is certainly
one of the most dangerous.

To THE boy beside him, this Boeing
Fortress pilot ranks with Superman.
One look at the instrument panel and
you feel the same way. It's hard to be-
lieve that ordinary mortals could ever
master the maze of dials, buttons, levers
and switches required to fly and fight a
thirty-ton bomber.
But young Americans are doing it with
deadly efficiency. (Ask Adolf, Benito
or Tojo.) And they don't learn their
jobs just by reading a book. It takes
intensive training and practical experi-
ence to produce the bomber teams who
risk their live* together.
The electric power business is like that.
You ean't make kilowatt'hours with
theories. You've got to team how — by
growing up in the business.
That's the way most electric company
men got their start. It's the American
way. Do a better job and you get better
jobs to do.
The system ia simple, but it works.
It works so well that America's big
peacetime industries became great war
machines overnight. ^
It works so well that the electric com-
panies under business management were
able to push power production up and
up to supply war plants with far more
electrL- power than any nation has ever
known before — and at low rates.
The same business system that is help-
ing to win the war today will also enrich
the peace —when air freighters are
delivering radios and refrigerators —
instead of block-busters!
