Americans Have to Be

{_ Shown Value of Union,

Survey Shows.

By ROSCOE FLEMING Times Special Writer

"DENVER, April 16.—Americans will take much “educating” before they consent to merge their longtime economic, political and military

. Interests in those of the world, for

the purposes of world union to preserve peace. They are willing to try out such a union, and: willing to undergo even severe, if temporary, sacrifices, such as remaining on a war-tax footing for several years after the war, But when it comes to a permanent policy of internationalism, they still have to be shown. This is the result obtained in the most important national poll yet taken by the National Opinion Research Center, Denver, giving citizens’ answers to a series of

searching questions. All the Center's questions are asked of people of voting age, and are so divided among those of various ages, professions, economic status, ete, as to elicit answers from

an exact microcosm of the voting

population. Rationing All Right The interviewers asked: “People who think they've found out why the League of “Nations failed are now preparing for a new union of nations if we win the war. In order to try out a union of nations as a possible way of preventing wars, would you yourself be willing or not willing: “To stay on a rationing system in this country for about five years to help feed the starving people in other countries?” Out of each 100 interviewed, were willing, 14 not willing, four had no opinion. “For part of the American army to remain overseas for several years after the war to help establish order?” Willing, 75; unwilling, 19; no opinion, 6. “To pay more taxes for a few years while the new union was being organized, even if people in other countries couldn't afford to pay as much?” Willing, 64; unwill-

ing, 28; no opinion, eight.

‘Jungle to Garden’ Is Tale Of North Side Property

From “jungle” to victory gardens —that’s the story of the Arthur Jordan foundation property at 56th

and Meridian sts. It all started when C. L. Scales, 37 E. 55th st., got tired of looking at the “jungle” each day he went to work. He leased the land from the foundation to clear it off, then interviewed a few neighbors to ask them if they'd like to plant gardens there. They certainly would! So, Mr. Scales got a bulldozer and the neighbors went to work. With all that vegetation, it was just like clearing land for airports on Guadalcanal, Mr. Scales says. After the clearing, the land was plowed and disced. The next step was to have the tract surveyed. Stephen Bond, engineer ‘for the Enos Coal Mining Co., of which Mr. Scales is vice president, got the job. He plotted 22 gardens, 50 by 50 feet, with threefoot walkways between each gare

den. With Mr. Bond’s professional]

experience, they're 50 by 50 feet on the nose—not an inch more or less. By the time the tract was prepared, garden interest in the neighborhood had mounted so fast that there were about five persons applying for each plot. The land was

cover expenses for the bulldozer, plowing and discing. Each gardener received a blueprint of the project. To Mr. Scales’ knowledge, there isn’t a person among those who have gardens who has ever grown a vegetable before—that's outside of himself, of course. He planted his first garden up at his Lake Freeman cottage last year. He testifies that

it was a good one, too.

All the amateurs have books now and sad to relate, the information in them doesn’t always agree. ‘They're strictly scientific book gardeners— except for Mr. Scales, who consid ers himself a professional with his one year’s. experience. A spirit of competition to see who will grow the best crops already is developing. It's Mr. Scales’ guess that everyone in the project will tend to his garden with the utmost care, not only for the vegetables, but

to see that his neighbor doesn’t out- :

do him.
