Vegetables Will Help Your Budget as the World Food Shortage By MARGUERITE SMITH sr THE GOVERNMENT, as you know, is urging every4! one to raise vegetables this summer to ease the world » food shortage. With prices high you're just smart to do it anyway. If you have no room for a Freedom garden, Arthur Lindberg, city planning superintendent, _. your neighborhood for a vacant lot. © while you're at it. That's indicated by a good crop of tall weeds.) Then notice a house number either next to the lot or across the street. Go to the assessment bureau in the City Hall and there % you'can get the owner's name so you can contact him. If the lot “+ it outside city limits, go to the * court house. Most owners will let you use a lot rent-free if you will keep the weeds down.

Successful planting means getting roots in close contact with finely pulverized soil. You will have better luck if you save manure to use as a mulch around newly set shrubs or trees. Tin cans should be buried deep enough so the lower roots can feed in soil, not among cans. a ” : AROUND our town: Viola Gilbert, 4039 Graceland Ave,

The balloon mattress becomes a chair pad simply by bending it in the middle and placing it in a car seat or chair. The child remains supported by the chest band. The seat itself must be well propped or anchored by the corners for security. The manufacturers said it should take care of all a child's traveling needs.

Bridge— Jump Bid Helps Win Tourney

We, the Women— ‘Free Time Is Individual Problem’
By RUTH MILLETT NEA Staff Writer “I CAN count on about two hours of free time a day, How could it be spent to best advantage?” asks a reader. That isn’t a question one woman can answer for another. The only real mistake the reader could make istofritter the time away. It doesn’t much matter “how she plans to spend: the! time ~ if she
OW ‘has a plan. sdk For with a! . plan ‘she will Ruth Millett ‘pe getting what she wants, She will be’
‘ doing the ‘things that are most. helpful to hem \oo if 00 It's fritterin . precious,
free time away that is the mise. take so many housewives make. They hang on. the tele: phone, read trashy fiction, listen to soap operas or spend whole afternoons window shop- | ping and at bridge tables. ” ~ » AND if she is to grow as a person, to find time to learn to do some of the things she wishes she could do, she can't afford to waste the hours that are her own. 2 It. is essier for most women to plan ‘a satisfactory work schedule than to figure out how to maks good use of the time that belongs just to themselves. And without a plan the time gets wasted day after day, until a woman is middle-aged and has so much time on her hands that killing it becomes a real problem. The woman who uses a little spare time to good advantage will some day be able to use an abundance of it just as well. But each woman must figure out for herself how her own time can best be spent.
