LAND of the
Today people are talking about putting vegetable
gardens in their backyards, and wherever else they can.
The reason why they are interested in the subject of
vegetable gardens here in well-fed America is that they
know there is an impending world food shortage, and
they want to help.
This kind of thinking has arisen from among the
people themselves. It resulted from no dictatorial
order, no imperial decree; it is the natural outgrowth
of the basic American principle of free speech, free
expression—and free land. "
It happens that in the conquered lands of Europe
every available foot of ground has been turned to gar-
dening—but for a different reason. For there the
bayonet enforces the law which requires the subject
peoples to grow food for. the conqueror, while they
themselves are sometimes left to starve.
Yes, this is the land of the free, and we who own the
land are free to use it not only for our own benefit—
not only, perhaps, to grow food for sale and even for
profit—but also to produce for the benefit of peoples
in other lands less fortunate than we are. ,
This is America!

BAD MEDICINE
FOR HITLER & CO.
Some of the greatest heroes of this war must go unsung.
Buried deep in laboratories they work night and day com-
pounding bad medicine for Hitler and his cohorts. We will
never be able to say which of their discoveries it was that
tipped the scales to victory...but we
can give thanks to our men of
science and their assistants. . .who
work with little respite and less hope
for glory to hasten the Axis' defeat.
