HARVEST VOLUNTEERS
All signs point to another harvest labor shortage in Northern and Central California this summer. It is estimated that
the state will be short approximately 23,000 farm workers despite importation of agricultural workers ffom Mexico, prisono ers of war, and migrant workers.
As a consequence, it probably will be up to Mr., Mrs. and
Miss California to go into the fields and orchards again on vaAFTER THE WAR
By LEONE BAXTER
When eleven million men lay
down their guns at the war’s end,
how many, trained for killing, will
pick up new guns to send a crime
wave rolling over the nation like
raging flood waters bursting their
dams?
The question is up for discussion
every time a man in uniform commits a crime. To the layman, war
training seems a natural stimulent
to murder, rape and robery. According to most criminologists, such is
not the case, and their findings are
highly reassuring to families of service men, worried about how their
boys will come out of the war morinhibitions out the window— a cir‘umstance we are yet too ‘busy to
handle—-which may send the post
war moral é6tructure into a sickening and unprecedented decline.

THE CHRONICLE’S FORUM
Another indication of the awareness by San Francisco of
its relationship to the rest of the state, particularly Northern
and Central California, is reflected in the immediate support
given to the San Francisco Chronicle’s proposed statewide

MAN AND HIS VICTORY GARDEN
All the current appeals made to recruit victory gardeners this month, worthy as they may be on a patriotic basis,
have been based upon ponderous and cosmic motives which
real gardeners will take in their stride.
It is doubtless true that backyard and Sunday afternoon
gardeners are contributing substantially to the food supply of
the nation. It may be true that food will win the war and write
the peace.
But confidentially that is not the real reason why men
and women don their old hats and fatigue uniforms, grasp an
‘onion or tomato. setting between their thumb and first finger,
and sally forth into the sunshine to wage a protracted campaign against slugs, snails and other assorted pests. No, even
patriotism could not take these gardeners out of their backyards.
In fact, it is one of the blessings of this terrible war that
so many of us have tentatively taken up the hoe from patriotic
motives only to discover the beauty and satisfaction of gardening. The warmth of the spring sunshine, the earthy odors
of newly turned soil, and the abiding satisfaction in transforming an ugly backyard into rows of fresh vegetables are so
delightful ehat we would never willingly give them up.
Like Candide, beset by the troubles of this best of all possible. worlds, we can say to our personal Dr. Panglosses, “‘to
