Close to half a million tons are already here, delivered or ready for delivery. Another 200,000 tons are expected and every effort is being made to isn get it here in time for this season’s crops. JIj. If shipping estimates hold, there will be about as much Chilean nitrate for top and side dressing as last year. But because all of it is being distributed under the government’s allocation program, it may be impossible to supply all sec tions in the same proportions as last year. / i If you cannot get Chilean nitrate when you want it remember the inconvenience is only temporary—one of many dislocations due to war. Chilean nitrate is here in substantial quantity, but, like every good soldier, it goes where it is told and when it is told by the government.

The heroic work done by fire fighters in so many of the towns and cities of our Allies, which have been showered with incendiaries and explosives, is drama itself. The job of our own fire men right here at home in South Caro lina may be less spectacular but it’s no less important—particularly to us. Yet most of us give little thought to this vital safeguard of our everyday life— until an emergency comes along.

ITI arif Fowler “The Contrast between the po sition and function of women in the church and in secular society is provoking increasing criticism and discontent,” says a report to be made to the authorities of the Church of England by a commit tee authorized by the Archbishops of York and Canterbury. The study of the place of women in the church grows out of the' dif ficulty of finding suitable women for deaconess work.
