Cleveland, Friday evening, Earl Rubert, leader, George Danic, tenor, Chick Miller of Redford, baritone, and Howard Tubbs, bass, once again came forth with the highest number of points for top place. The Quartette left Thursday by boat for Cleveland and registered at the Regional Headquarters in the Carter- Hotel there. The con-` test was held in the large audi- torium of the Little Theater be- fore .an audience of between six and seven hundred. Twelve quar- tettes participated in the ,contest including two, The Cleveland Four Flats and the Westinghouse Four sof Pittsburg, who were final- ists in last years contest. Winners in this contest were: 1st place THE GARDE'NAIRES, 2nd place, The Pittsburg Westinghouse Four, 3rd place, Detroit's Progressive Industries Four, and kFourth place, The Lamplighters of Cleveland. Four contests were held, the first in New York on Thursday, the second in which our local group participated in Cleveland on Friday, the third in Chicago on Saturday, and the last in Kan, sas City on Sunday. The twelve top quartettes, selected from these preliminary contests will repre- sent the United States in the Grand Final Contest to be Aheld in the Detroit Masonic Temple, June l6th. The Gardenaires in winnind first place against some unusually stiff competition deserve addi- tional recognition for their splen- did performance, since the present team has had only a short time in which to work together. Chick Miller has been a member of the quartette only a few weeks, since Lou Burke's resignation. We'll all be in there plugging for our Gardenaires to come through with the national cham- pionship. .

Farewell Dinner ' Lan Prices o Honors Forsythe Up 54 erceM- The Farewell dinner, honoring Reverend John Forsythe, was held at the Rosedale Gardens Presbyterian Church, Saturday, -May 12th, with 248 attending. The large crowd was accommo- dated (by arranging the serving in two shifts, and the dinner was served by fourteen members of the young peoples group. Musical interludes were played by Mrs. William Koenig and James Mar- shall. Mr. Harry Simpson presented a farewell gift to the Forsythes, a token of the warm friendship and appreciation felt by all the con- gregation toward them. E. P. Balkema who acted as master of ceremonies introduced the speakers. Letters were, read by Mrs. Curtis Shook, represent- ing the Women's auxiliary, M-. Wm. Culbertson, representin: the Session, Mr. Curtis Shook repre- senting the Deacons, and Mr. Har- ry Burton representing the board of Trustees. Guests from outside included Dr. and Mrs. Bectel representing the Detroit Presbytery, Reverend and Mrs. Verse Carson from New- burg, and Reverend and Mrs. Henry Walch of Plymouth. Harry Burton, the general cha'lrman was assisted by the fol- lowing members; T. Warren Lamb, Otto Hanson, William Cul- bertson, James Marshall, E. P. Balkema, and H. T. Valrance. Mrs. Ernest Bentley who recent- ly was operated on at the Peoples - Community Hospital, returned to her home May 10th. Her. mother, Mrs. Emma Grey, wno has-been staying with them, left Monday, May 14th, for her home in Toledo. Michigan farm land prices, along with those throughout the nation, are on the march up the oid inflationary trail. Dangerous precipices and yawning caverns are airectly ahead. Karl T. Wright, research spe- ciahst in farm crops at Michigan State College, so warns farmers of the state after examining the lat•- est figures on land purchase pric- es. He is frankly worri d about future consequences, • if`ethe up- ward spiral continues. Right now farm real estate pric- es in Michigan ar 54 per cent nigher.than pre-war levels. Although during the past year 10 per. cent fewer farms changed hands, this didn't keep farm pric- es .from jur—ing 10 per cent higher. Farmers who are thinking about buying more land are es- pecially cautioned to consider the long-term earning capacity of that .land. That is an important point, because, if the land is mortgaged, it may be harder to pay for if prices decline and production drops. Right now farm income is high, but that may not continue. So, above all, avoid speculation. There are two other ways that the farmer can help to prevent an inflationary boom and a repeti- tion of the collapse that followed the last war,. when one farmer out -of every four lost his farm through foreclosure:One way is to use wartime income to build un reserves. The other is to help keep farm product prices stable. Surplus earnings can profitably go into war bonds for future use. We are often prophets to others, only because we are our own his- torians. liewburg P. T. A. lects Officers The Newbur- Jr. High PTA met Tuesday, May 15th, for the final meeting of the year. Annual reports were given by the officers. Mrs. Henry Bock, the president, Mrs. Arthur Kidston the vice- president, Mrs. R. A. Coates, sec- retary, and Mrs. Edwin Thatcher the treasurer. Reports were also given by the committee chairmen. The new officers Mrs. C LeMay, president, Mrs. E. Wylie vice-pres- ident, Miss Briningstall, secretary, and Lowell Jacobs, treasurer were installed by Reverend Carson of Newburg. A demonstration of the Physical Education training program was presented by girls from the sev- enth and eighth grades and was announced by Bernie Lou Bock. Parents had an opportunity both before and after the meet- ing to inspect the science ar_d art work of the students including the murals for the Graduation play. These murals, which were painted by Frank Coope:, Larry Bentley, and Jim McDowell de- pict farm, factory, and home backgrounds for scenes in the Play, and show an amazing ability to portray depth and realism. Following the meeting refresh- ments were served in the school lunch room. Mrs. S. F. Glass decorated the tables and cakes and sandwiches were donated by a number of mothers. Rains 15 Days in May Up to 17th This is Thursday forenoon—the 17th day of May. Up to this day Plymouth has "enjoyed" 15 days of rain since May day. There have been only two clear days during the entire month and so much rain has fallen that it has caused untold damage to gardens and has delayed by weeks the work of farmers. Even though there is no more rain this week or next week, a farmer stated yesterday that it would .probably be a week or ten days before many of them could get into their fields to work. Many victory gardens will have to be replanted, as soon as the ground dries up a bit. Tonquish creek and Rouge riv- er went over their banks, but as far as known, little damage re- sulted fi+om the high water.

V Pae Two !Jiff _ Wednesday, May 23, 1945 Best Time To Plant Your Victory Garden Is During Next Three Weeks' When the weather clears and the garden dries out a bit from the recent drenching rains. it's time to begin, your intensive gar- dening, advises Mrs. Austin Stec- ker, chairman of . the Plymouth garden committee. "It is never too late to plant something in your garden. There are some vegetables that can be planted late in June. But the last two weeks in May and the first two weeks in June covers the proper time for most garden planting" advises Mrs. Stecker. "I am advised that there are some who planted certain kinds of seed too early. Some plants came up and were nipped oy the frost. They should be replanted now. `The cold rain also destroyed some seeds that had been placed in the ground. As soon as you can get into the garden, replanting of rows where seeds did not come up should be made soon. "The next three or four weeks should be the businest of the en- tire season, except the harvesting period. "All one has to do to fully real- ize how important it is for every person to raise vegetables this year is read the news dispatches from across the Atlantic. One of our responsibilities is to help keep women and children, victims of, this war, from starving to death. "If necessary to convince your- self of the growing food shortage, just check over with your groc- eryman the many kinds of vege- tables you did not have to give points for a year ago that now re- quire points. It is needless for any one to say that as time goes on, there will be more points requir- ed for canned vegetables. If you grow your own vegetables and can them at the right time, you will not have to worry about points. "From a recent check, I think there will be as many war gar- dens planted in Plymouth this year as last. There should be more, because the end of the war in Europe has made it more im- You'll Save Money on HARDWARE items If you trade with the L. J.

So do not be a garden slacker! Raise food not only for yourself, but for those who will not .be ablo to raise anything for themselves. Nankin Mills in National Ad Henry Ford knows how to ad- vertise. And because he knows how to advertise, cities and com- munities in this part of the state reap a benefit thereby. In the last issue of Editor & Publisher, the outstanding weekly publication devoted to the inter- ests of news writers and editors, there appeared a full page Ford advertisement picturing the Nan- kin Mills plant of the Ford com- pany located five miles east of Plymouth. The advertisement was one of a series Pof "Famous Ford Firsts" appearing in a number of nation- al publications. Mr. Ford is featuring in these advertisements the utilization of water power along the Huron, Rouge and Raisin rivers as well as featuring Mr. Ford's plan to make it possible for American workers to have "one foot on the soil—and one in industry." The following is a 1944 Fire Record of cities in the U. S. of over 20,000 population. A total of 465 U. S. cities hav- ing more than 20,000 population reported a fire loss of $131,16-0,- 2-1.00 for the year 1944 . amounting to an average loss of $2.56 per person for the 51,191,402 inhabitants in this group of cities. * BUY WAR BONDS * Learn to Ride `1 MILE RIDING CLUBIt 28004 W. 7 Mile Rd.

Get "Wise" First (Farming Opportunities After the War—byE. B. Hill, Farm Man. agement Department— Michigan State College.) The dream farm and the real thing --is there a difference? Our dreams of farming are often bas- ed on remembrances of farming days gone by. Present day farm- ing is much different from that of our fathers. That is particular- ly true if a man is confronted with paying for the farm and making a living on it at the same time. To start with a team, a. wagon and a plow, or even with just a team, may have worked in the pinoeer days but one's chanc- es of success with such a meager capital are very slim under pres- ent day conditions. In general, opportunities in ag- riculture in the post-war period may be grouped under three headings (1) farm services, (2) part-time farming, and (3) farm- ing a full-time job. Farm Services—In the imme- diate post-war era at least there will be quite a number of oppor- tunities in the field of farm ser- vices such a plumbing, electrical wiring, machinery repair, weld- ing. building construction and re- pair work of all types, painting, home modernization and allied activities. Many such services could be operated from some cen- tral locations in the good farming areas. Part -Time Farming__,6ume in- dividuals may wish to locate on small acreages, primarily as a Site for a home and also as a place where they may produce some food products to help meet the family food needs. Such individ- uals should have an assured in- come either through savings or from outside employment n or der to make this part-time farm- ing plan feasible. In planning an undertaking of this nature a pe? - son should make a budget of the total costs of establishing a home in the country and the transporta- tion costs to and from the city versus costs of similar factlities in the city. Farming as a Full -Time Job— After World War I many persons started farming without planning in advance. After World War II Does Job Security Count with You? The Telephone is Essential in .peace and war Full time positions are open as telephone operators. You will be paid while learning Come In and Talk It Over Apply at your local Bell Telephone Co. why not plan first and stay in the farm business longer? Those with the know-how in farming appreciate the difficulties involv- ed in making a success in farm - (mg. Those who are planning to start now or in the near future should first get the facts and plan carefully to avoid making the same mistake many made during and after World War I. Most of the best opportunities to become successfully establsh- ed in the farm business will be on farms in the better farming areas of the state where for various reasons the present owner may wish to rent or sell. The number of opportunities for developing new farms in the so-called cut- over country of Northern Michi- gan and in the Upper Peninsula is rather limited. (Editor's note— This is one of a series of articles on the subject of farming after the war. The next article is on the subject "Getting Started in Farm- ing.")

"Right now is the time to do much of the necessary work. Arid never before was it so important that every one grow all they ca. -a, as next fall and winter, we are advised, will see a terrific demand for surplus food" stated Mrs. Stecker .yesterday. She advises every one to read carefully the following instruc- tions issued by the Michigan State college as to thinning plants. Since most gardeners sow seed too thickly, plants of several gar- den crops must be thinned. This is especially true of carrots, beets and lettuce, although lettuce can be used as the small plants are removed. When such crops as carrots and beets show a good germination, the plants should be thinned to at least 1 inch, or even 2 inches, apart. It is advisable to thin by cutting them off slightly below the surface, rather than by pulling them. If pulled, a portion of the roots of the remaining plants are generally injured. If plants are too thick, they rob each other of moisture and plant food.

Thinning should be done when the soil is moist and while the plants are still young so that they can be pulled out without disturbing the ones that are left. Onions from seed and radishes can be left in the ground until those that are thinned out are large enough to eat. Carrots should be thinned when they are 2 to 3 inches tall to stand 1 inch apart. They are then left to develop until the roots are the size of the little fin- ger, and alternate plants are then pulled and eaten, It may be necessary to take some precaution against onion maggot. A 2 per cent oil emulsion or bicholride of mercury solution will check them. The bichloride of mercury can also be used on radishes and cabbage. The solu- tion is made by dissolving 1/2 ounce of bichloride of mercury (corrosive sublimate) in 1/2 pint of hot water, then; diluting this quantity to 5 gallons. For radishes and onions apply along the row at the rate of 1 gallon to each 35 feet of row. It should be applied soon after the radishes are up STOP!, CAN YOU?
