WITIh:YOU It was in Marseille that: LarMar-' . seillaise was written, and it may now be in that ancient city of rebellious folk that a new song of Frenhc cour- , age is being written. The Chinese have -been fighting five rand` a half' years and have suffered :most. The Russians have been fight- ing about 18, months, and have killed more }inns than all. of the rest of us combined. Our chief problem just now is how to grow larger crops this summer and fall. We lack/labor, but farmers are told to grow more than in 1942. Couldir't our Reserve Home' Army do a bit of farthing this year? Eyesight Protection Is Required in 'Teen Age The 'teen age is a critical period in the life of a child. In' school the tasksof learning become more dif- ficult when a child enters his teens. The child must develop greater powers of concentration, co-ordinate and strengthen his mental powers of attention association of ideas, memory and reasoning. He must expand his reading hours and study longer:.` ' During this', time of increased., mental effort, important physical changes take place in the, child's body. In adolescence the whole body is shaken up in the transition from childhood to adulthood. The nervous balance of the body is re- aligned and important readjust-. rients take place in the glandular system. Frequently the teens has been called the awkward age be- cause of the many evidences of these readjustments. Because of the increased visual tasks resulting from the speeding up of the educational process, and because of the extensive bodily ad- justments that take place during the teens, eyesight protection and conservation in.. the child is highly important during this period, points out the Better Vision institute. If a child enters the teen age with eyes unequipped to cope with the in- creased visual tasks, serious impair- ment of vision may result. That many young eyes deteriorate,-dur, ing this period is evidenced by sur- veys of vision in public schools in- dicating that nearly one out of five: children graduating from grammar school has defects in vision. TINE CLINTON NEW S.RLCORD Voracious' Reading 'Yank Fools His Tent -Mates -Lau gh•of"the week is on two so- tilers o; 'Camp, Polk, La.—Private Bill •Cooper :and Ed Cohen. When the pair, was transferred for the summer from barracks to tents, they held a conferlrnce, decided their tent woifira' be` more. cozy if at least one of their -btu kmates received regular packages ot'Pad .from home. Best 'yvaythey could think of to find just, the"man to illi the bill in this re- spect was 1o'watckthe package list put up every, day outside the mail, 11'oom: For several days they studied the list, :finally settled on one Pri- vate Sam Dunbar, who, they noted, received packages every day with- out fail. He looked like a bonanza, So they broached to Dunbar the idea of moving in with them. Dun- bar became convinced, made neces- sary arrangements to transfer his quarters. Cohen and Cooper, jubi- lant, could hardly wait for the boxes and packages to roll, in. The first morning Dunbar produced a newly arrived package, and proceeded to unwrap it as his buddies stood wait- ing expectantly. The bundles, far "frpm what they expected, contained hardly a crumb of food, only maga- zines and newspapers from home. Dunbar, it turns: out, is a voracious reader! Lack of 'Ships, Not Cacao Beans, Cause of Shortage Americans, faced with a possible shortage of chocolate bars, choco- late -flavored drinks, and hot choco- late topped with whipped cream, are asking why the shortage, and what about substitutes. The shortage is a matter of ships in which to carry the cacao beans (from which both chocolate and cocoa are made) from their tropical homes to the greatest consumer in the world—the United States. And there are no substitutes for the dis- tinctive chocolate flavoring, says a bulletin from the National Geo- graphic society. World cacao bean production is well over 700,000 long tons a year with the United States taking a year- ly average of approximately 290,000 tons. Over 70 per cent of United States' imports is used by the con- fectionery industries and the bal- ance goes into the making of cocoa butter, medical products, and break- fast cocoa. The shortage, so far, is felt only by these industries which are now operating on 60 per cent of their not mal cocoa supplies. Cacao beans are plentiful. The Gold Coast of Africa, largest world producer, still grows its yearly 250,000 to 275,000 tons. Brazil, runner-up, still pro- duces from 120,000 to 130,000 tons a year. Cacao trees still grow in the other tropical, cacao -growing countries of the world. Cornwall 'Pixies' May Return The war may bring back the "pixies" to the English coast of Cornwall—those tin miners who once worked in pits along the shore. Seen from ships at sea, their tiny figures, magically appearing and disappearing at the rim of tin dig- gings, called to mind the mysterious little creatures of fairy tales. There is, however, no mystery about the war need for tin which had led Brit- ish authorities to reopen ancient Cornish mines, rework old ore dumps, and seek new deposits of the vital metal. Eighteen hundred tons is a small amount, compared with the nearly 130,000 tons taken from British Malaya and the Netherlands Indies during the same period, but Corn- wall deposits now are among the few remaining that are available for the United Nations' cause. Home -Grown Cork Fostered The department of agriculture, through the forest service, is inves- tigating possible emergency sources of cork' to meet defense require- ments. The native Douglas fir, and the cork bark and white firs of the Southwest have corky materials in their bark which may prove a good source of cork for certain uses; and the forest products laboratory is working on substitute materials de- rived from wood. Through co-opera- tion of the field staff of an American cork concern, the forest service re- ceived a shipment of cork acorns froht4 Spain. Unfortunately •the acorns had deteriorated' because of shipping delays; however, they have beenosent to the Southwestern and California.. Experiment .stations for experimental planting.

Cotton party; flocks were never "lovelier, sheerer,` or more becom- ing. From fairy-like flower prints of faintest hue to vivid tropical col- ors, cottons give a girl demureness or dash, depending upon the effect she wants. Besides being cool, a cotton party dress gives its wearer a carefree :mind. If the hemline gathers soil from the floor, or if perspiration fil- ters into the underarm section, the dress requires only a good launder- ing to make it clean and fresh again. No worry lest a dirty hemline put a floor -length dress out of commis- sion, for with washable cotton a little soap and water provides the rem- edy. There is another thrifty angle to many cotton gowns. If made sim- ply, with modest neckline and cap sleeves, the cotton gown can be cut to street length and worn as an afternoon dress when its life as a party dress is over. Material cut from the skirt may be used to make an extra blouse or a short jacket. Heh, Mei-Mei! This is a message to Mei-Mei at the Brookfield z000to.the giant panda recently acquired by the New York zoo, and to giant pandas every- where. Your ancestry, and that of your sister, the late lamented Su - Lin, has been traced back 20,000,000 years to an extinct creature named Cynarctoides. This was announced at the Field Museum of Natural His- tory by Paul McGrew of the pale- ontological division. Mr. McGrew is the discoverer of the first and only known specimens of this fossil ancestor of the modern giant panda. By his discovery Mr. McGrew indicates that, although the present natural homes of giant pan- das are in China and Tibet, they really belong to an old American family. The patriarchal Cynarcto- ides lived in western Nebraska in an age when no human beings ex- isted to look and marvel at giant pandas—in fact many millions of years before the first man appeared anywhere in the world. No Official National Flowers It is surprising to learn that there are no really official national flow- ers. Richard J. 'Hayden, superin- tendent of parks and boulevards in Boston, Mass., who has long been interested in this subject, states that certain flowers are' generally asso- ciated with various nations but that none of them are recognized by gov- ernment action. Popular polls, competitions and motions adopted by'organizations have placed these flowers on the ballot. Many of them, the Scotch thistle, the shamrock of Ireland, are merely traditions. In this class be- longs the tulip of the Netherlands. As for the;, United States, Hayden relates that two flowers have,` at different times, been. recognized by groups of interested persons. One is the arbutus (Epigaea repens), the other goldenrod (Solidago). Neither is elected through legislative decree.
