Block Organization Urged For Recruiting Campaigns

By ANN STEVICK Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.—"Many new home-front campaigns may be needed to promote the war effort in 1944. Whatever they may be, they will benefit greatly from strengthening our block organization system,’ says Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, new leader of Washington's block organizations. “Figures show, for instance that districts which have working block organizations have done much better in WAC recruiting. Block organization is the stuff of which democracy is made. People can't co-operate in the democratic way unless they know what it's all about, and block organizations are set up to let them know.” Home-front campaigns, from Victory-garden promotion to weed-cutting enterprises have been handled by block organizations | ~ existing under various ngmes in different localities. Communities with block organizations will be ready te get grass-roots participation in whatever campaign-may come, 8 r ” ”

Treasury Trove SOME 10,000 used and new autos released by the army are to be disposed of by: the treasury procurement division, and many more thousands of applications for them also are on hand. A rumored release of textiles from the war department is not in sight. There are so many crying needs for textiles from various other government agencies that any amount could disappear into their demands without civilians ever seeing It.

Difficulties in ‘timing them with the season often cause losses to inexperienced gardeners. ' Garden supplies are reportedly improved for next season. Pressure cookers are expected to be ready for canning season in greater supplies. - Pressure canner rationing will continue, but regulations will be simplified, y

On Being a Real Person |Best, Worst Spring From Use of Our Imagination

By DR. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK Anxious fear always involves the misuse of the imagination. Even when fear is physically induced, as in delirium tremens, its terrifying power lies in imaginative pictures that occupy: the mind, Anxiety as humans experience it is possible only to a highly developed organism endowed with the gift of fantasy. Animals suffer cruelly, but they do not, so far as we can tell, lie awake at night picturing difm- meen culties that make them panicky | apprehen-

of our imagination, center our attention on the mental screen where their visual procession moves rather than on the inner faculty where we ourselves project these obsessive and abhorred, yet self-created fantasies. uh : One of the sovereign cures for unhealthy fears is action.
