Think them all over, mother. arguments, . Any child brought up to feel that an unkind word or smartAleck come-back is the thing, soon learns to whet his tougue. Whole families go in for orgies of impudence to each other. g ; It becomes a habit with some families to discredit others. This may be caused by jealousy, or a feeling of inferiority. It is defense.

Putnam Counly Maple Syrup Run Reported Near Record |

By DAVID MARSHALL RUSSELLVILLE, Ind., March 18.

—A few more days of temperatures over 40 and the near-record maple sap run here in Putnam County will stop.

‘Many of the camps have been

running 24 hours daily for several weeks gathering the “sugar water” and evaporating it into molasses.

Camp operators like 19-year-old Embert Gardner have been sleeping in the evaporating sheds to be on hand to “pour off” the amber liquid and keep pipes from freezing. Embert’'s camp of 250 trees has been running since mid-February,

logs which are good for little else. The pans are open so that the steam fills the shed, rolling up through the turret oh the roof. The boiling sap bubbles from the first pan on to the fifth through a twoinch pipe.. As it simmers from pan to pan it thickens, and changes from a waterclear liquid to sticky, light brown syrup.~ When Embert thinks it has boiled {enough he tests the fluid with a \hydrometer. A reading of 31 means the syrup is ready to “pour off.”

Then the drafts on the furnace are shut and the valves controlling the syrup’s flow from pan to pan are closed. Sugar sack cloth is stretched over a bucket and the boiling molasses is strained through it. After cooling slightly, the liquid is poured into gallon cans to be sold for $2 to neighbors or townspeople.

114 NLRB POLLS HELD IN INDIANA

Of the 2651 elections held in the nation, 114 of them were in Indiana, according to Mr. Cowdrill. In the national ' elections 1,026,813 valid votes were cast; in Indiana elections, 49,692 valid votes were recorded. \

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANEsJORDAN—There are six in our family and I have s0 much to do I never get done. I have no help as my only girl is 4 years old. It'y just stay home day in and day out. and clean on a ‘house that isn't much better than a barn. We live inf the country and everything is so hard to do. : : I'm. terribly nervous, and at times I hardly can stand anything. I never go anywhere. Being a mother is supposed to oe something wonderful. How can it be when we have to sacrifice everything? Does it mean that we have to give up everything just because we're made to bear children? If I could have one day a week off I would be very happy. My husband thinks I'm tired of him. I can’t make him understand that all I want is a little recreation once in a while. I am not quite 25 years old and I think I am too young to give my whole life to my children. Don't you think a mother should have ‘some interest outside the home? The children always are fussing. My husband and I quarrel a lot now. It isn’t that he is mean. He is a good husband. . He - just doesn’t understand. WAITING.

- Answer—Maybe Mr. Roosevelt would know what to do about your case. I don’t. The 40-hour week is a great boon to men, but what about the housewife who puts in better than 100 hours a week for her room and board and clothes, with no time off at all? It

The. habit grows.

sounds like Alcatraz to me.

-It is indeed a wonderful thing to be a mother, but it is also : the hardest job in the world. Ltitle children may be sweet and . appealing but they aren't angels all the time, and there are periods - when life with foup of them must be similar to residence in a mon- - key cage. One has to get out or go crazy. > 4 . Mothers who do all their own work probably are the most over worked people on earth. Yet let one of them open her mouth in . complaint, or ask for-a day off, and someone is sure to say that she is tired of her husband or doesn’t love her children or is an unnatural mother, when all she wants is about half as much rest as any domestic servant would require on the same job. Perhaps down-trodden women should take a leaf from the books of down-trodden men and organize a housewives union. A sit-down strike might prove disconcerting to a husband who doesn’t believe in time off. Fancy his discomfiture to have his house picketed by a woman with a baby in each arm and two hung from her skirts! Well, women have their own, way of striking. They get sick. What pains they do not feel in fact they invent, until it takes an expert to separate hurts from hooey. A miserable, ailing, ¢omplaine ing wife puts up a passive resistance against her on life which no man alive can lick. It would have been cheaper fbr him to have provided the time for recreation that she needed before she resorted to the only method she knew of getting even, : - ' JANE JORDAN.

THERE'S PERFECT desk-to-date style in this young bolero ensemble, Pattern 109. Claire Tilden has designed it in trim, precise lines enough for

ants, some were FSA rehabilitation clients and the remainder were Knox County farm labqrers.

Most Were “Ili-Housed” °

The families lived in homes ranging from one-room shacks to four-room houses. Most of them

They came to Deshee with inadequate farming and house-

The Government paid an average of about $70 an acre for the land. The largest tract purchased was 240 acres, the smallest 40 acres. The” Government used all the buildings that were usable and built many new ones. The project now has 44 houses, two of them used for community houses, ohne for an office and the remainder for residences. Eventually 41 families will live at Deshee. The houses on the project, are all two-to-four-bedroom dwellings. \ Families Pooled Interests

The 35 families pooled their farming interests in order to benefit from the possibilities of largescale farming. The head of each family becama a member of the co-operative. These 35 elected a board of five directors, one of ‘whom represents the FSA. The FSA also names the community manager, now T. E. Myers. The board of directors itself chooses the farm manager; the present incumbent is Verlin H. Paul, a native of | Portland, Ind. The co-operative rents the land from the Government for $6000 a year and also takes care of all

such as the 800 tons of lime applied last year. The capital for the cooperative was provided by the FSA. © Corn and Stock Raising The farm is operated very much as a typical, diversified Mid-West-ern farm.' The basis of its economy is corn production and the i feeding of livestock. The aim is to use constantly more and more of the grain raised on the farm for the feeding of stock. Besides corn, crops of ' wheat, oats, barley, legumes, tomatoes and potatoes are raised. The farm now has 102 head of dairy cattle, 528 head of hogs, 3736 poultry and 23 head of work stock. The aim is to raise pure-bred Jersey cattle, Hampshire hogs and white leghorn chickens. Some heavier chickens are to be raised later. : The area has six tractors and 18 horses; the average Indiana farm is about 150 acres and has one tractor and three horses. Each family does the portion of farm tasks for which | it is best adapted. Some men who had disliked work in the .flelds prove good workers in the dairy barns or with the poultry.

Potatoes Are Roasted

Potatoes are roasted in the furnace ashes. Frankfurters and marshmallows are toasted over the coals. Eggs are boiled in the sugar water. The girls pull the molasses into taffy while the boys work the camp. - Along about 10 o'clock they start drifting home. You can hear them singing and laughing through the maple groves. It won't be many years until the camps all will be gome, Embert says. Most of the trees are almost 100 years old. Only the maples 30 to 60 years old are producing much sugar. Unfortunately, many of the trees are being cut down and none planted to replace them. Soon the Indiana sugar camps will be memories.

Mr. Cowdrill's stressed the importance of the all-party stipulation that resulted in the ordering of

125,000 employees in 29 General Motors plants in 11 states, ’including Indiana. Board Chairman J. Warren Madden said: “The stipulation saved perhaps several months of costly technical hearings concerning various phases of the corporation’s farflung enterprise. Not only did the corporation and the unions agree, but C. I. O. and A. F. of L. unions agreed among themselves. “Such co-operation between men and management illustrates an approach to complicated bargaining which can only result in serving the public interest.” :
