Rejected Draft
Men Should Have
Old Posts Back
Declaring Selective Service reg-
istrants who are rejected at in—
duction centers because they faili
to meet Army physical standards
have a “moral right” to be rein—
stated in their‘former jobs, Brig-
adier General Maurice Thompson,
The Adjutant General and State
Director of Selective Service, to—
day urged all local boards to "util- l
ize every facility" at their disposal
to aid these men. While State
Headquarters has been advised
that most Washington employers}
are reinstating selectees in their‘
former jobs, the General said the
Selective Service System wants
to make certain that no man is
unjustly treated.
The Selective Training and Ser--
vice Act requires reinstatement by
former employers of men inducted
into the Nation‘s armed forces who
satisfactorily complete their mill
tary training. The State Execu-
tive indicated that employers also
should feel a “moral obligation"
to reinstate men who were not
actually inducted but who had ful- l
filled their duty to the Nation by!L
responding to the call for service. I
“When a man responds to a,
call 'for military training," he}
said, “he is fulfilling his lobliga-i
tion to his country. When, for
some reason beyond his control,
he is prevented from entering its
armed forces, he nevertheless
should be considered as having
discharged his responsibility and
should be protected in doing so.
Every effort must be made to al-
leviate hardships and suffering in.
these cases.”

HOW MUCH IS
CONVENIENCE \VORTH?
If we Americans would become
as concerned about accomplish--
ment as we are about “inconveni—
ence,” we WOUId an be better 03- Through most of the eighteenth.
Facing the facts leads to only one
conclusion — this
country has gone
“soft.”
We have been
so busy ,seeking
some easy way
out of the tasks
we have before
us that we have
made no progress
in their accomé
plishment. We
have become a
lazy people. “Self
discipline” is only the phrase of
historians. Each of us has sought
to minimize his efforts to such an
extent that we find it inconvenient
to do things which we know
should be done.
The desire for convenience has
caused us to buy merchandise be-
fore we could afford to own it.
Kyes
Credit has undermined our think- l
ing to such an extent that a goodly
percentage of our people are con-
stantly in debt. Farm debt alone
has been doubled by interest ac-
cumulation. When one realizes
that farmers pay more than $400,-
000,000 annually as interest on
mortgage dcbt,~he can readily ap-
preciate the drain this is on the|
farm population. Consider what
$400,000,000 left on 'the farms an-
nually would do to improve the
status of the farmer. It is signifi-
cant that the family farms of New
England are in the best financial
condition.
It is interesting to note that
dairy farmers, as a group, have
low mortgage obligations. These
farms are usually run on a family
' basis. Dairy farmers maintain a
good balance between cash income
and cash outgo. A study of the

These billions of dollars in gas-
oline taxes are being paid largely
by families with modest incomes.
According to studies by the fed-
eral government, more than half
of the car-owning families in the
United States have incomes of
less than $30 a week. For that
reason they have small ability to
,pay taxes.
First inaugurated in Oregon in
1919, the gasoline tax was soon
adopted by all the states. In 1932
the federal government imposed
a duplicating levy, the rate of
which was increased in 1940. Most
of the states also have increased
their tax rates, chiefly in the de-

pression years of 1930 to 1933.
The overall burden of federal and
state gasoline taxes averages
about 46 per cent of the retail
price. For every $1 that the aver-
age motorists pays for gasoline,
he also pays an additional 46
cents in taxes.
At this time America may Well
salute the gasoline tax on its
birthday, for the roads built with
the revenue have eliminated the
isolation of the farm. These roads
have facilitated the movement to

These roads, built with gasoline

.DR. J. MURRAY LEE
New Dean of the School of Edur
cation at Washington State Col-
lege is Dr. J. Murray Lee, of the
College of Education at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin. He succeeds
A. A. Cleveland, dean since 1917,
who will continue to teach.
The new dean was graduated
from Occidental College and re-
ceived his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees
from Teachers College, Columbia
University.‘ He has taught at sev-
eral summer sessions at Teachers
College and has been a member of
the faculty at Williams and Mary
College and at the University of
Texas.
Dr. Lee has published several
books, including “The Child and
His Curriculum,” with his wife as
coauthor; “Enriching the Elemen-
tary School Curriculum,” and
“Growing with Books.”

in sections where the temperature

er can get good growth on the
annual phloxes by starting them
early.
The seeds should be
where the plants are to grow in
the garden, if the gardener plans
to sow them outdoors. But pot-
grown stock, planted out of 2-in.
or two and one-quarter inch pots
early in the season before the
become root-bound will give the
best results in those regions where
ithe summer season is hot.
GARDEN-TESTED MARIGOLDS
The marigolds are always pop-
'ular in the annual garden because
they are so sturdy and floriferous
and because their colors are so
showy. In popular parlance there
are two recognized types —— the
French and the African. How
these names come to be applied
is something of a mystery since
'the marigolds are truly American
plants.
They grow naturally in the
drier, warmer parts of southwes~
tern United States, Mexico and
South America, hence to allude to
them as being either French or
African is somewhat erroneous.
The garden varieties, because they
have been derived from native.
species that grow under severe,
dry conditions, are perfectly adap-
ted for use in those parts of the
country where there is a dearth of
summer rainfall. Cultivation is
very simple and seeds can be sown
late in April or early May.
The new flowers for 1941 in—
clude several marigolds. Most
persons know and use the popular
variety called Harmony which ap-
peared several years ago as an
All-America selection. Subse-
quently a dwarf Harmony was in-
troduced and now, comes a big
improvement on the latter typeH
a new, improved dwarf Harmony
that is called “Spry.”
Nine inches tall, compact, regu-
llar, and covered with flowers that
are a rich maroon on the outer
ipetals and, surmounting these, a
crest of bright, light orange -
is “Spry” and it’s a type
that you will find very satisfac-
tory for low bedding or for edg-
ing. Its compactness gives it
added value for formal usage.
There is another variety in the
1941 novelties that is of the Dixie
Sunshine type — large-flowered,
fully double, strong-stemmed and
free-blooming. This Chrysanthe-
mum—flowered class has become
very popular with a great num-
ber of gardeners for cutting pur-
poses as well as for massed bed-
ding effects.
The new variety, Goldsmith, is
a stranger color than Dixie Sun-
shine—a. golden orangeaand this,
coupled with its early and free-
blooming habit makes it the more
desirable. A third new Marigold,
called Scarlet Glow, is also a new-
comer. It is a dWarf, double var-
iety, and is the richest rod so far
found in ‘this popular flower fam-
ily.
