s f L>> 'cA X ' WuHUMION 4 THE URGE FOR SERVICE WMhington, March 17.—(NWNS) —ratowing passage by the senate of the history-making lend-lease Taffl, the American people are showing a restless desire to jump 4'to active participation in the cteffease program. The treasury department was smprised last week to find hun dreds of donations for defense rent la with income tax reports by people who were legally exempt Yroea paying any tax. These con- "ttibetions reflect the growing patriotic urge among a large num ber of people to make some per sonal sacrifice to aid the defense of their country. Another expression of this same feeling is indicated in letters re ceived by congressmen, such as leases from many people who want to know why they are still aide to buy aluminum pans In meet stores when the government fears a scarcity of aluminum for airplanes. These people would got more personal satisfaction out •of R If the government would ask them to turn in their old alumi num pans instead of permitting them to buy new ones. An in creasing number of letters come to Washington each day from people ate feel that they should sacri fice something, and want sug ars. ter the administration has bent over backwards to avoid ask ing the people to undergo any even minor hardships. But with the lend-lease bill safely put through and popular opinion favoring all-out aid to Britain, the people may now be asked to do more—particularly to give fi nancial aid in the form of higher taxes and the purchase of govern ment bonds and stamps. Other types of sacrifices win be asked later, after the newness of the huge aid program has worn off. Compared With Germany Those who think that we are planning to spend too much money on defense are now being shown figures, available at the depart ment of commerce, estimating that if the U. S. spent as big percentage, of its national income as Germany is planning, our de fense bin in 1941 would amount to almost 58 biUions. ActuaUy, we are planning to spend for aU pur poses. Including defense, a total of $17,500,000,000. Germany, it is reported, is spending 72 per cent of its total national income for war purposes. Administration ' leaders are cheered by the general public ap proval of the defeat of amend , ments aimed lit weakening the President's power under the lend- lease biU. A good number of sen ators, it is privately understood favored the idea behind such pro posed amendments as the one which would have banned send ing out war supplies on American ships and the one which would have prohibited sending American troups to foreign soil. But these senators voted against those a- mendments because they believed it would strengthen our country’s threat to totalitarian powers to make the President free to fight ATLANTIC,GREYHOUND LINES r?

These senators untied the Presi dent’s hands with the prayer that he would hold to his promise—to use his power to prevent war if at all possible. Although some feel that we are likely to get into the war, there are many here who believe that the President is sincerely trying to keep us out. A man whose opinion is highly respected here expressed this theory: The Presi dent believes that enough aid, in the form of equipment, will save us from having to send men later on—that Great Britain can win if supplied with a sufficient num ber of planes, ships and muni tions. Even if Britain can weaken the enemy to the extent that an A. E. F. would assure victory, Ger many might give up before we sent a man over rather than suf fer a certain defeat by a well- equipped American army. * • * May Extend Training. There has been considerable dis cussion this week as to whether the boys who have been drafted for a year’s military training will actually be released at the end of their year. This, of course, will depend to % large extent on the course of events during the next few months. But It is believed that the war department is considering the ex tension of training as a means of keeping a large, trained army. The department has officially de nied any such intention for the present, but statements have leak ed out that extension of training, at least for the National Guard, is being discussed. * * * Hatch BiU Nullified Although politics guided the vote of quite a number of senators on the lend-lease bill, politics actual ly seems to be taking a back seat, here as congressmen realize more and more the scope of the dangers threatening our nation. But politics did get in the lime light again last week when the committee on campaign expendi tures reported to the senate on the ways both parties violated the spirit of the Hatch act during the last campaign. The Hatch act limited the regu lar national committees to expen ditures of $3,000,000 each, but by setting up independent committees the Republicans are estimated to have spent $14,941,142 and the Democrats $6,095,357. As a result, the committee declared that the Hatch act proved ineffective and has recommended proposals to tighten the law, such as a pro posal to limit expenditures by any and aU groups supporting the same candidate. beds, more attractive homes, in service and in getting on well to gether in work at home and through club work and play with groups. j It is more fundamentally true in their endeavor through demon strations for health improvement with better health and food habits, nutrition, and examina tions in 4-H health contests. Demonstrations in production and food preparation are always, if done well, a means toward living at home. But the question often arises, “How can the already suitable 4-H activities be fitted more closely into the B.FJL. Program?” Just as the new name, “B.F.L.’\ and new or better coordination is giv ing impetus to the. movement, a new vehicle is sought for 4-H to convey its plans and achievements as part of the whole Extension or agricultural program from 1940- 1950. The following are some answers to the question: 1. Help every club member prac tice good health and food habits. Get a health examination and im prove defects if possible. 2. Agents see that members are informed by simple talk and chart as to local deficiencies in feed and food. Encourage discussion. j 3. Help members who may come | 1 under cotton order stamp plan ! understand it. May furnish cloth | for clothing or room improvement j or garments needed. I 4. Help individual members to ! find animal, or poultry, or seed, j for boy or girl of deficiency family. These in some cases are donated, or better they are exchanged for something* They may also be re- ; funded with work or payment later. , 5. Have club grow plants or seeds needed in community to get everybody supplied. 6. Have judging contests to teach quality and standards. 7. Get local leaders’ help in training a demonstration team. 8. Suitable and timely demon strations for teams are: (a) Fresh garden vegetables. (b) Canning. (c) Food Preparation—vegeta bles, eggs, etc. (d) Dairy Production Demon stration (This material has been sent to 17 counties engaging in the 'major food and nutrition project for girls).

C. -XX- Four-H And Better ^ Farm Living Better Farm Living is a differ ent name presenting the program in a slightly different form for farm families. It is so well known now that “B.FL.” is enough to say for many to understand. It is a great program, similar in most re spects to activities engaged in for many years by members and par ticipants under the Extension Service. It is more important than it has ever been, in that it is trying to get suitable momentum for ten years improvement and because more agencies and a more intelligent common interest in National and local deficiencies are significant factors in the move ment. Good health, good food, security and happiness are program goals. Such goals are strongholds in National Defense always. South ern governors are sponsoring the B. F. L. program. Extension Di rectors see its needs and values and say we must succeed. It is for the benefit of all the families. It is agreed that / -H members, as well as adult Ex' sion participants, who continue projects of long standing are •’ n- tributing to the B.FL. prog ' .i.
