That is that the United States must put its armed forces into such condition that this country will be able to resist any threat to our national rights or encroach ments upon our liberties by any foreign power. Detroit,Man. 14—Thirty youths ’rcm all sections of the United States arrived here this week to enroll in the Post-Graduate School of Modem Merchandising and Management for Dealers’ Sons, a “college” unique in modem industry.

Mrs. Corbett grew enough vegetables to serve hor family the year round and sold $544 worth, all on seven-eights of an acre of land. > But in a world where force seems to be the principal means of making other nations agree with the ones which have v the most powerful armaments, cer tainly the woice of America will be listened to with more respect if we put ourselves in a position where others will realize that we have the necessary force to back up our words, if it comes to a showdown. There are other means of un dermining the influence of the ag gressive dictatorships, and those are already in our possession. The suggestion will doubtless be made in Congress, and will receive much public support, that com- • merce of any kind with any un friendly nation should be pro hibited. Japan is almost facing ruin now by reason of the threat to her silk exports, since a new artificial silk superior to the natural product is just ?:2ing put on the market in this country. If Japan could not buy American cotton and other goods that nation would be in serious difficulties indeed. And so with Germany, Italy and other nations which are making more or less threatening gestures toward the United States. All cf them can be brought to terms by economic pressure which is well within our ability. But be fore we begin to put on the pres sure we should be ready to resist if they choose to fight about it. xx Tiller’s Long Service Wins National Award William E. Holler, general sales manager of Chevrolet. The youths will be graduated after eight weeks of intensive training, investigating all depart ments pertaining to the conduct of a retail business. In addition, they are “factory-trained” to the extent that classes are held right in plants and engineering labora tories, where the students learn designing, servicing, re-condition ing of used cars and other phases of the business. More than 100 men already have been graduated from the school, which was founded by Mr. Holler, and was in the course of prepara tion for five years prior to its onening in the spring of 1938. DR.

Corbett of the Oak Dale Home Demonstration Club, Lexington county, took seven-eights of an acre of land for a garden spot, grew enough vegetables to serve her family the year round, gave generously of them to her neigh bors and sold $544 worth during the year 1938, thereby winning first prize in the Central district in the Home Garden contest con ducted by the State Home Demon stration forces of South Carolina. Mrs. Corbett says she planted 25 different vegetables in her garden and that there was not a time during the year when some fresh vegetables could not be gathered in it. She says she did not can as much as she could have because she always had the fresh vegeta bles available but she did take time out to put up 175 quarts of /egetables; 140 quarts ©^tomatoes and 170 quarts of fruit.
