eruor's office, the Governor named the entire mouth of April as “Indiana Home Safety Mobilization Month," and requested all Indiana citizen* to volunteer for home safety. He pointed out that, with I the nation In the midst of the most colossal war production effort in t history, accident touts arc on the upswing. "We cannot afford the 1 economic dislocation and a slowing of production of food and arms I caused by such accidents." he said, ' "nor can we become callous to the pain and suffering they produce." II o—O — I Michigan's general assembly has been asked to approve a law mak--1 Ing it an offense to steal vegetables I and fruits from Victory Gardens Indiana has had such an act since 1905. It provides a tine of not more than liov and possible imprisonment for six months, for “whoever unlawfully enters upon the lands of another and sevens from the soil any product or fruit growing thereon. the property of another, of the value of ten cents or upwards." Victory gardeners have a right to expect protection from persons who may not think that raiding a vegetable patch can be followed by serious consequences. This year food will be more precious than under ordinary circumstance* and It will be more difficult to obtain. Watermelon growers learned long ago that a guard with a handy shotgun discourages trespassers. It should not be necessary for Victory gardeners to adopt the same tactics -Indianapolis News. How Gory Does It: Maurice Early, special writer sot the Indianapolis Star, gives the following enlightening plan on how Gary turns sand dunes into Victory Gardens. Citizens of Gary, reminded <onstantly of war by blood-colored skies reflecting the terrifying might of steel mill furnaces, are more food conscious than most Hoosiers. Women aie going to work In these steel mills in ever increasing numbers. There will Im- scarcely a home in till* city which does not have at least one of its women doing a man s job. This atmosphere tends to make the citizens take seriously the warnings that food will be harder to get. and home gardening is one way of supplementing the necessary toods for a proper diet, llut Gary is built on sand Lawns are coaxed into being by spreading black loam over the leveled dunes, but there is not enough goed earth for successful vegetable growing. This handicap has not baffled A. D. Murphy, secretary of the Gary Chamber of Commerce, the Garden Club or organizations of workmen. South of town, where the eand plays out and the farm land starts, is unused acreage, some of which was laid out in subdivisions about the time the real estate bubble broke in 1923. It is planned to bring this one-time farm land back intr Me for victory gardens Gary is practical and Is determined that these victory gardens will not turn out to be well intentioned. but futile efforts at food produc ttons. Already more than 500 have applied for plots that wi'l require ICO acres. Through contributions from mills and the war fund. 83.000 has al* ready been set aside for plowing, tool sheds. toilets and other Improvements. Each gardener is to be charg'd 15 rental for a plot W by t"0 feet, the land deemed necessary to produce vegetables for a tamily of five. There will be bus transportation to the victory gardens and guard* will be employed te prevent looting of the plow when the prcject develops. Emphasis is to he pieced on rale tag vegetables which can be canned or dehydrated, especially the more 1 asily grown tomatoes. beans and paws It to not believed that incwativee have to bo provided, but prim are te be given for the best crop*.

The French, who number some 1.700.000 among the German war prisoners, are said to be taking the lead in forming guerilla bands.

This story of new trouble on the German home front coincide* with a report that the German luflwafte lacks its old punch A roundup of authoritative Allied air information shows that the German air force has failed in its three major objectives of the war to date, and now is losing out In Tunisia. First, the luftwaffe tailed to prevent the British evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940. toecond it failed to bomb Britain into surrender in 19t0 and 1941. Thirdly, it failed to win control of the skies over Russia. Now, this summary says, the Germans are running a poor second to the hard-hitting Allied air bottom edge on tbe back vl each picture frame.

Tbe German decline is said to lie based on heavy numerical and technical superiority of Allied plane production greater air manpower of tbe Allies, and the fact that the luftwaffe la overworked. In spite of these reported weaknesses in the German war structure, however, the over-all picture still isn't all daylight. London observers eay prime minister Churchill s latest speech has dashed cold water on the optimists predicting an Baiter invasion of Europe and the defeat of the Nazis by harvest time. The prime minister said Germany might be beaten In 1944, but possibly not before 1945. —— ■■■<>■■—■■ II ■ - William Studebaker Dies Near Bluffton 'William L Stud a baker. S 5. broth er of Mis.
