Hardgrave, a disabled 'veteran. The idea of remaking a farm in a day was the same here as en the humid East, but the con- ditions were different. The supervisors of three Verde Valley t> r a 11 e y districts — Oak Creek, Bridgeport, and Camp Verde— picked out what they believed was the most farmed -out, run-down, depleted -place in the entire valley, as offering the most worthly chal- lenge to the ingenuity of soil con- servationists. This farm also offer- ed a good stage on which to ac- quaint a Iare number of people with the importance of both soil :end water conservation and with the methods Lest suited to valley land in Arizona and similar areas. Seventy-three manufacturers and dealers in tractors and farm equip- tnent agreed to donate the use of their machines, and the job de- veloped into one of the largest farm -machinery demonstrations in the history of the Southwest, Con- treetQrs offered to c1Qnate the use ee of their equipment. Supply houses would furnish needed materials. Farmers, laborers, high school youths and Boy Scouts volunteered to work. Carloads of equipment and materials were shipped into the area from as lar away as 800 miles. The district conservationist and his technical staff got busy with plann- ing. Each plan and boy among the .volunteers knew every detail of his job as a result of tedious briefing in advance by the technical staff and the district supervisors. A lone wo- man tractor operator did a master - fell job of land leveling, Up came a model farm. At day's end it had bench terraces, and an irrigation ditch lined with water - saving concrete by machinery which slid 600 feet of lining in twenty 'minutes. Another ditch was lined by a spray gun and a third was oils lined. There was a large storage reservoir scooped out by a giant bulldozer, designed to save time and labor in irrigating and to provide .fishing and other recreation. The course of the Verde River had lit- erally been changed by the same bulldozer, and given steainbank protection against badly eroding land. Spectators saw just about every- thing done that is needed on an irrigated farm, such as plowing and floating of fields, installation of concrete and corruguated iron pipes and irrigation structures. They saw post -hole diggers at work, a me- chanical trencher, a sprinkler irriga- tion system installed, and siphons. House and barn were given a coat of paint. A garden site was pre- pared, an orchard planted, rose and other flowers .et out around the house. The owner, a veteran wounded at Metz, in the wink of a clay saw done a complete conservation job that would have taken him ten years to accomplish alone.—From "Big Hugh": "The Father of Soil Conservation." b y Wellington Brink, Double Duty Newest place to carry your cig- arette lighter is in your belt.

The Fading Season Sumner begins to fade. Not as colors fade, or as beauty fades in a face, but as a day past midafter- noon begins to fade away toward evening. The peak is past, the .lush and eager growth that surges out of spring reaching toward matur- ity. Much of the flowering is ac- complished scomplished and the fruiting is at hand. The leaves, whose prime function is growth and the sus- tenance of growth, begin to look a little worn; their job is all but done for another year. The grass heads ripen. Milkweed thickens its pods, Asters begin to bloom, and goldenrod, the festoons of early autumn. You see a more pronounced flush of scarlet in the sumac clumps. Sumac is no reliable index, to be sure; one frond will turn in an otherwise normal clump even in June. But when whole clumps be-. gin to put on rouge, something is happening to the season. From a distance, the dogwoods seem un- touched; but come closer and you - see the age -lines in the leaves, the red veining of October, • And even more significant, the buds for next season's dogwood bloom are already formed there on the twigs. The elms have been ragged for several weeks, but now they are shedding those first leaves, not all of them insect casualities, which fall before the color change strikes the whole tree. Even the maples • begin to look weary and dusty; their leaves have lost that gloss which was theirs when the chloro- phyll was new and full of vigor, Little signs, the lesser signals of a season's change. The green pro- cesses are slowing down; ripening accelerates. And earliest of all to recognize this are the insects. At summer's peak they were loud, but with a lazy overtone of satiety. Now they are insistently loud. The. katydid and the.•cricket outdo the droning bum bleb ee. Time shortens, in their lives, and some inner cons - pulsion bids then to haste.

Only when the way is uncer- tain or .dangerous, such as when pushing their way through a bois- terous crowd. He also procedes her when alighting from a vehicle, so that he can better assist her in alighting. Q. Is it proper to eat the lettuce on which a salad is served? A. It certainly is all right. The lettuce is as much a part of that salad as any other of the ingredi- ents. Q. Is it good form to mail a wedding invitation to "Miss Shirley Smith and Brother?" A. Never. The correct procedure is to mail a separate invitation to each of these persons. Q. Is a woman always supposed to be seated at a table to the right of her male companion? A. When practical, yes. The few definite rule about it include the seating of a guest of honor on the right of the host or hostess or chairman, and the military rule by which the senior officer walks as well as sits on his junior's right. Q. When a marriage engagement has been broken, isn't a girl entitled to consider the gifts and engage- ment ring her former fiance has given her as belonging to her? A. No; good form requires that she return all these. Q. Is it proper to mail out for- mally engraved invitations to a christening? A. No; only the family and inti- mate friends are invited. Q. On formal occasions, when many people are present, is it es- sential that any one person be in- troduced to every member of the group? A. No. An arrival may be intro- duced to one or two persons, or he may be left to talk with those near- by without exchanging names, Q. Should a person insist upon giving a tip in a restaurant that ob- serves a Cho tipping" rule? A. No. It is not only unneces- sary to give a tip, but it is incon- siderate to the management for one to insist upon breaking rules. Q. What jewels, if any, should the bride wear for her wedding ceremony? A. Only the gift from the bride- groom, Q. Would it be proper to write a note of condolence to the parents of •a friend who has died, even if you do not know the parents? A. There is never anything im- proper about any act of thought- fulness and sincerety. Q. Who really bows first when meeting, the woman or the man? A. In Europe a roan is supposed to bow to a woman first; in Amer- . ica, the woman is supposed to bow first. However, few people today observe this formality. And after alt, if friends know each other well enough, it makes no difference who makes the first greeting, Smear Campaign In Washington . Digging out and exposing com- munists and their stooges is a worthy piece of public safety work, But some of the U.S. activities on the job . are scandalous. As the U.S. representative of The Econ- omist of London puts it: "It is a technique which shocks many decent -minded Americans be- cause it seeks to dress the coin- _ mittee hearings in something like the robes—or at least the language --of a court of law and yet makes nonsense of the accepted practices • of legal procedure." It was at the current (McCarran) "spy trial" that one of Canada's senior officals got the Communist tag. The meetings of the U.S. Senate subcommittee are supposed to be secret, but, since politics and pub- licity are of such great importance to the probers, a lot of news gets out. The Canadian public is glad to have the assurance of Ottawa that there was no justification whatever for the allegation or 'insinuation that E. Herbert Norman of our Department of External Affairs is or was a Communist or a sym- pathizer. How did the Norman name come up? He once held a two -yea'- scholar- ship from the Institute of Pacific Affairs. That body farmed a long time ago for study of the Far East LOGY, LISTLESS OUT OF LOVE WITH LIFE?

Only in recent years dict Commun- ists and 'their sympathizers succeed in becoming influentiai in Institute affairs. That the Institute has had some Communists is true. That all its members are Communists like say- ing all men are Scotsmen. From one intimate with the Washington goings-on we had the following: "Finding out about Communists and especially those in positions of influence is fine, but that's only a very minor part of whatLs really behind circuses of the McCarthy- McCarran kind, These things' are all part of the 'get Truman' drive. The same thing is true of the war on Acheson, He's one of the best men we've ever had in that job but smearing _ him helps, they think, in the war on Truman, Until after the election you can expect that politics will. dominate every- thing." If wise decisions on grave mat- ters affecting the whole world can emerge from this hocus-pocus, we will be lucky indeed. —From The Financial Post. igiElelOAL URELAX ForweesleeSpleleespsnesounddlyu,e atwo aketirerodfaoathna MAO $2,00 postpaid to W.
