Our Committee continues to hold
hearings on anti-strike legislation
and the seriousness of the situation
is realized. As this program for
the defense of our country devel
ops and expands, the combined co.
operative effort of every one will
be needed. There will be no time
for quibbling. As Representative
Cartwright of Oklahoma said. “The
only strikes I am interested in is
“strike while the iron is hot.”
Our defense effort is the most
gigantic armament program ever
undertaken by an country. Ap
propriation bills already passed and
those now under consideration for
this purpose aggregate the huge
sum of 27 billion dollars.
We passed the Senate Amend
ments to the Lease-Lend Bill by
a vote of 317 to 71. Even Martin
and Fish voted for them. We also
passed the mine inspection and de.
fense housing bills, as well as an
other huge naval construction
measure.
We were saddened to learn of
the death Tuesday night of Con
gressman Pius L. Schwert of the
Buffalo, New York District. He
was one of the most popular Dem
ocrats in the House, having been
elected in 1938 to succeed Senator
James Mead, who resigned to run
for the Senate. He was a World
War Veteran, an athlete (having
been a baseball player on the New
York Yankees team) and a fine
public speaker. Tuesday evening
he was the speaker at a dinner
given by National Post Office em
ployees, and he collapsed as he
sat down at the end of his speech.
The weather is warm again, the
twelve inohes of snow we had
last week-end having melted away
two days ago.

Mr. C. H. Neely, Ranger, from !
the State Department of Wildlife
advises that Newton County farm
ers are greatly reducing the wild
life of the county by burning their
fields and woodlands. Quail and
other desirable wildlife are de
pendent on good cover for exist
ence. Where there is good cover
there is usually good feed and
then the cover offers protection
against natural enemies and gives
good nesting protection.
Another thing that Mr. Neely
advises is the seeding of border
strips around the fields. These
strips should be 13 or more feet
in width and should be seeded to
Lespedeza. This border will give
good cover for wildflife and will
furnish seed for food. Then an
other desirable feature to the
farmer is that erosion op the bor
ders of fields is controlled. This is
becoming a general practice by
many farmers in the state and the
results are gratifying. If the bor
der strips are 13 or more feet
wide they will be measured by the
AAA as a soil building pratcice and
often a good yield of hey is her

No doubt, when the Nazi “puts

For the first time in bedding history, we present a
development in spring construction that lets you sleep m
on your side of the bed. This unique improvement pre
vents sleepers from rolling together. The light-weight
sleeper reposes in as comfortable position as the heavy- P v
weight sleeper. The center row of flexible top coils
(used in this manner only by Red Cross) causes each
side of the spring to act independently—affording twin
bed comfort on a double-bed spring! See the new Red
Cross DUO-FLEX at this store today. Test this new
feature. The DUO-FLEX is made with a cross-work
of flexible steel strips across the top of the spring and TERMS
with 99 finely tempered double-deck coils to provide
