“More than 100 trained nufses will be called from Indianapolis within a few days and their places must be filled at once with first aid workers who can augment the work of the few trained nurses that will be left,” he said.

passage of the draft act in September, 1940. Induction of this group of men by Board 3 naturally pushes back for a few weeks the time of induction of the recently registered 20-year-olds, since they have much higher order numbers than the men

A unit of 15 American tanks had gone into the reserve lines after joining the British tank corps in the first three days’ fighting of the new campaign may now be In action again, it was believed. Dispatches told of heavy fighting in which all arms were engaged— tanks, armored cars, guns and planes—especially in the southern sector of the front. . It was emphasized that the. trend of fighting for the moment at least was westward, indicating that Rommel’'s 15th and 21st armored divisions were being pressed back. Rommel was taking heavy punish-. ment. His armored concentrations, concentrated along with his supply trains within a ring of anti-tank guns, were subjected to a ceaseless night and day attack. The German field marshal was believed to be doing his best to keep his forces intact while he awaited reinforcements, . especially heavy guns, before he struck the next blow |in the supreme offensive to which he now seemed committed, an attempt to break through to Suez.

U. S. Tanks in Action

The United States army tank unit which joined ‘the British armored corps in the first phase of Rommel’s offensive, destroyed numerous enemy tanks and one fank crew alone got six and probably eight. ~ Some slight wounds were the only casualties among the 98 men, including six officers, in the 15 United States tanks. It was made plain that the American unit was only a tiny one in a battle involving hundreds of tanks on each side and that its men were sent into action, intermingled with British crews, to get experience in

“But it takes a good deal in Board 3 to make a man in his 20's look like a critical man, ? Mr, Tennant commented.

“We have to examine requests for deferment for occupational reasons with a critical eye,” the board chairman said, “because in many instances independent investigation has sometimes revealed that the young man in question was in no sense a critical man.” In discussing the 3raft situation generally, Mr. Tennant asserted that “there has been so much irresponsible comment and prediction | about who will be taken and who will not that it would be a blessing if the information would be given only from sources adequately informed on the problems,” He said that in calling men the board had at all times tried to follow the regulations and to treat alll men impartially, Board 3 has jurisdiction over Wards 4 and 20, a northern Indianapolis residential section, In addition to Mr. Tennant, the

tomatoes.

It’s this: Once you have the plant set out, walk quickly away from it, without even a glance over your shoulder, and don’t come back

until you hear the tomatoes are ripe. Stay clear away from it until that time. At least, this is the experience I've had with The Times’ tomato on the green lawn of Central Library. On Aug. 16, the boss, as 1s his annual custom, said he thought there was an’ outside possibility that The Times could publish without my services for the next two weeks. At least, it was will~ ing to try. Still Green, Though

My resulting absence came as a relief to him as well as me, no doubt. I hastily beat it out of town and for two weeks didn't take even the most cursory glance at that plant. Well, it seems to have been a relief for the plant, too. In those two weeks, the plagued plant grew like a house afire and now has a total of about 30 tomatoes on the vine, some large, some not, and all green, it was Quite a Shock This, I can tell you, came as quite a shock. Either it proves that tomatoes shouldn’t be tended too much or that the best way for me to raise a garden is to stay out of it. Perhaps the latter. A few days before I left on vacation, there was a letter from a Zionsville, Ind., gentleman who

~said he would remain anonymous

because he could get nastier that way. In his opinion, I am several varieties of black rats and should be boilett in hot tomato juice. He said I put this tomato plant ouf and then didn't care for it correctly, nevertheless givirig the readers the opinion that I was quite a gardener.

He Soon Recovered This letter bothered my conscience, but I'm happy to report I was able to recover in a few minutes. The charge that 1 didn’t care for this plant before my vacation is an utter untruth. I heaped a great amount of love and care upon it, which is what makes me feel so humble today. * When my back is turned, this tomato plant makes a fool of me,
