This district is noted for the quality and quantity of its tomatoes-a food traditionally essential to the American's diet, whether he is on the Fighting Front or the Home Front. The tomato is rich in vitamins a highly nourishing food. The vines are covered with ripe tomatoes ready to be picked and processed The farmers have done-and are doing-their phi The food factories are ready to process the crop.

And the farmers believe the people of this district will enlist to aid the grower and the processor in preventing a waste of tomatoes when food is so scarce all over the world. Will you help?

At the same moment the fire sirens began to hoot and the bells to make a great clangor as the engines bounced over the cobblestones.

I ran toward the grand stairway and had reached the top step when I saw the head rigger on the landing, gesturing to me. "Hi, Courtney, the boss wants you to open a he panted. "Quick." Running back, I grabbed a few tools and a piece of wire and dashed after him. At the foot of the gangplank stood Mr. Morse, his face white and set.

As we ran up the dock, he shouted above the noise, "The shed next to the riggers' room. It's full of dynamite." The buildings behind the shed with the red flag on its roof were already going up in flames and the heat was blistering, but the firemen were drenching the shed with a full stream from the hose. With slippery fingers I worked at the lock, nickinc it with ih ing pressure, climbing around the huiis, doing zigzag patterns, setting diamond joints, and tightening angles. On Saturdays, when the pay envelopes came around, I took out cf mine as high as $75, more money that had jver made. favir.g.

On Oct. 15, I met a dark-eyed Brooklyn girl, Dorothy The engagement ring on her finger should have discouraged me, but I managed to see her every day. The rain was my ally.

On the 3'Uh, it came down in tor-renu and I invited Dorothy to lunch, but before we lunched, we had a damp and splattered wedding at City Hall. For a wee's we honey-mooned; then I went to work at the Morse shipyards. I was a married man with responsibilities. When the declaration of war did come, Dorothy and I thought that THE farmers like all good Americans are out to win this war. They don't have much time for" flag waving, but they are keeping their hoes busy.

Wars may be won with food they are lost without it. The farmers know this and they aren't going to let this country lose the war through a food shortage. That's the reason the farmers planted great acreages of food crops. That's the reason they bent their backs over plows and harrows and cultivators. That's the reason they have worked from sun-up till night-fall.

Some crops are short not because the farmer failed to plant, but because the weather was unfavorable to growth and maturity. That's all the more reason why crops that mature must be harvested. Now the farmer needs help help from young people, from business and professional people, from housewives, part time or full time to harvest the crops. Not an ounce of the food crop dare be wasted. But even harvested crops may be lost if they are not preserved and packed for the days when field and garden are not producing.

There are labor shortages everywhere, but the shortage in the food processing factories is dangerously acute. More men wire.
