something to the war effort by buying 7th victory loan bonds it is a small thing we are asked to do o lend money to our country at a fair rate of interest in order that a steady stream of war supplies be kept flowing overseas to the lads who are giving so much unspectacular when compared with their exploits yet none the less important for as the tempo of war increases more and more supplies are needed in order to denver the knock out blow to the hitler gang the young men from this district have not been slow in answering ihe call to duty rare is the home which has not a loved one in the service when you are approached by the victory loan salesman trans late your boncft purchase into something personal imagine every dollar loaned as food in your boy s mouth clothing on his back ammunition for his weap ons heavy artillery to protect him from danger the more we lend the more backing we give the troops the better equipped they will be to carry on to a sue cessful conclusion the war against the enemy make your dollars part of the at ack by an all out support for the 7th victory l oan a downtoearth house a recent article in the magazine american home describes the building of homes from rammed earth rammed earth is the ground you walk on tamped into wooden forms creating a wall 1 8 inches thick with a compression strength of 33 tons per cubic foot it is fireproof dampproof frostproof sound proof and the upkeep cost is negligible the united states dep t of agriculture is in terested in the idea and has buiit- seven rammed earth homes near gardendale alabama pamphlets have been issued describing ihe construction and may be ob tained for a small fee from that department earthen walls naturally insulated require no surface plastering or painting but both are possible suitable earth for walls is found just about anywhere but tests have shown that earth having from 30 to 80 per cent sand was moat satisfactory and clay content should be leas than 30 per cent mr and mrs anderson of ocean springs mis sissippi built a thrqeroom house for 1000 by mak ing use of this natural building material as a test they knocked the bottom out of a strong box and tamp ed three inch layers of earth one at a time with a length of two by four lumber as tamper the box was removed the top covered from direct rain and the earth allowed to dry for a few days when it didn t crack on drying the anderson s went ahead and built their house and three years later it is as good as the day it was built we wouldn t advise anyone to embark on the building of an earthen houae without more apecific in formation but unless the author of the article was let ting his imagination run away with him it is certainly a good way to build a lowcost home and we may ex pect to see a few of them around in the not too distant future victory gardens yield amazingly good crops home gardeners in his particular section of the country had a bumper crop in nearly every variety of vegetable this year the added incentive of plant ing wartime victory gardens combined with an almost perfect growing season has produced approximately 115000 000 pound of vegetables in 1944 in urban centres throughout canada with a population of 1 000 or more the estimated total number of such gardens was 209 200 and the production per garden about 550 pounds it has also been estimated that one urban household in every seven had a wartime garden the shortage of poatoes last year resulted in making them the most sown crop this season they are of an exceptionally good quality ao the percentage of waste should be considerably lower of the total volume of veegtables produced about 37 per cent was potatoes 14 per cent tomatoes 10 per cent carrots 6 jer cent beets 4 per cent cabbage 4 per cent beans and 3 per cent each of onions cucumbers tur nip and rhubarb peas and sweet corn each represent ed 2 per cent and all other crops 1 per cent or less of the total quantity produced 3fofcrci jgreat sa in harvesting the fruits of tike seeds one has own many people who never planted a garden before have become confirmed victory gardeners since die start of the war once having been initiated into this healthgiving profitable habit we feel safe m forcasting they will be confirmed peacetime gardeners as well i v day celebrations many towns and cities throughout canada have been making elaborate preparations for that great day when germany is conquered parades bonfires danc ing and music as well ab church services have been pre arranged at council meeting last monday night the matter of v day celebrations was considered the final outcome of this to authorize the mayor to pro claim a civic holiday in georgetown when the day ar rives no other arrangements were made this we feel was a wise clecision for several reasons first of all preparations for celebrating the defeat of germany are decidedly too much in advance the splurge of propaganda appearing in the daily newspapersrecently heralding the approach of victory in a matter of weeks was most unfortunate that is the one thing we have been warned against repeatedly undue optimism and pessimism our invasion for- cea have made marvelous progress but the toughest battles in europe have yet to be fought then too one news analyst has pointed out that there may be no de finite armistice day as in the last war but victory may come gradually with the nazi holding out till the last in small pockets of resistance and last but not least the war is only half won when germany is beaten we have yet to conquer japan preparing for the proclamation of an official civic holiday when the german v day comes is quite within reason but we do not think those municipali ties which are hastening to prepare big celebrations for an early victory are taking the wisest course war has only borrowed him war has only borrowed him young and tall and strong deep within his hear there dwells unrequited song thunderous roar of booming guns
