Its underlying purpose will be to educate all gardenâ€" ers and especially victory gardeners how to conserve the harvest of fruit and vegetables they have grown. The show will not be lacking in the usual array of interesting features, however, according to the committee in charge. Flower displays will be prominently exhibited. There will be a number of amusing shadow box preâ€" sentations. Plans are being completed to have an educational exhibit under the auspices of the state department of home economics, which is under the direction of Christine Pensinger, direcâ€" tor, who isâ€"also widely known as a radio commentator. Emphasizing the significance of this year‘s show, J. D.

On Labor day the Y.M.C. will meet the Waukegan Bally Mucks at 3 0‘ clock at Sunset park. The last game these teams played was a one to one tie until the ninth inning when the YM.C. went ahead to win four to one. This will probably be the last game of the season for the Y.M.C.

Appe}, 404 N. Linden ave., training director for Highland Park, who has just spent a ten day period of intensive study at Purdue university, where he took the Civilian Defense course given by the United. States army. As for me, I‘m thinking about those dead rabbits and believing in the Law of Compensation. _ As there®are more than 1,200 enâ€" gaged in this city‘s Civilian Defense, and as céeryone is required to take at least/ five different courses of inâ€" structiof, it is apparent that a large school is necessary. This must be properly ‘staffed in all departments, with instructors and administrative executives. Think . what you wish, Highland Parkers. Mr. Appel reports that equrses such as he has just completed, are being given every ten days for the present. Seven schools in the United States offer this course, which is run by the army. The school at Purdue is for the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh corps area. way Among the points stressed, Mr. Apâ€" pel reports these about poison gases and food : Fiftyâ€"seven students attended the comprehensive course with Mr. Appel. "HE and incendiary bombs are usuâ€" ally used in cities, but not so frequentâ€" ly are gases used. But if the enemy decides to use gases in cities, God help us. If they throw lewisite and mustard in your city, unless deconâ€" tamination squads are equal to the gigantic task, it will linger 30 to 40 days. Poison gases are highly penetrating. Food stuffs are highly absorbent. This applies mostly to fatty and moist or oily foods. Wax paper may be absorâ€" bent. Gas will penetrate where air will, except in gas masks. Any material that soaks up oil or water will absorb poison gas, and eventually permit passage of it. Also, in regard to ventiâ€" lation of storage rooms, it also proâ€" vides means of entrance for gas. All war gases contaminate food by being absorbed on the surface of food . . . when chlorpicrin gets into food, you cannot get rid of it. Persistent gases are the hardest to eradicate, and they will even make water taste badly for a long time." Where is the justification ?
