Everett R. Clinchy, it is the most important new contribution of the National Conference. Urging service men and women, and all others, to attend their churches or synagogues, the National Conference believes that while we fight for religious liberty, it is our duty to help our churches and synagogues by our attendance and support. We must make religion increasingly vital in our lives and in the nation.

Cooperation by Jewish leaders was most generous. The Methodist Conference on a Just and Durable Peace at Delaware, Ohio, called on all church leaders to work with the conference in its program. The major denominational religious education authorities are constantly using materials furnished by the conference. These materials include study units for young people and adults covering periods of several weeks discussion as well as single articles.

This bureau develops and distributes educational materials on intergroup relations and works with educational bodies and regional and local school administrators in teaching human relations as an integral part of the curricula in American education. After noting that the National Conference of Christians and Jews held its first meeting at Columbia university in 1928, President Clinchy said: The National conference was established in accord with a cardinal principle in American history: respect for the dignities and rights oi groups. The people of the conference believed that this country could not suffer hate breeders any more than they could afford to tolerate the carriers of contagious diseases. Our organization was established on the conviction that irrational antagonisms and hatreds are part ol a vicious chain of which one link is tied to another. This nation, composed of a plural number of religious, racial and nationality groups, must, for the security and well being of each group, learn to face differences realistically. The members oi each group must so act that the members of every other group .have parity or opportunity to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Brotherhood or Chaos Dr. Ashworth said emphasis now is being placed on the community cooperation of common citizens oi our one land, the important thing to remember being the intrinsic worth of the individual, and, in President Roosevelts words, after the peace il Brotherhood oi will be either Chaos. According to Dr. Ashworth, it was a Catholic priest who originally suggested the organization of Brotherhood week, back in 1932. He wrote to the National Conference of Christians and Jews that brotherhood was something all faiths wanted, something of which there was too little in the world, something of which there could never be too much. He suggested that a special period be designated each year by the National conference, that Catholics, Protestants and Jews be invited to consider together practical ways toward attaining it. This idea took fire. The first national observance of Brotherhood week took place in April, 1934. President Roosevelt proclaimed the evenl publicly as he has done every year for the last 11 years. From the firsl the conference sought out the cooperation of civic bodies, Parent Teachers associations, schools, colleges, churches and synagogues. Dr. Ashworth said: This year, like preceding ones, a number of governors and mayors have issued formal proclamations endorsing its aims and purposes.

L. Howard, a University of CalL'ornia professor .of pomology. In "Home Fruit Growing in California he outlines the advantages of this method of cultivation in small orchards and home gardens. Europeans, he says, have perfected special methods of training known as espalier and cordon, with numerous variations, which cause the trees so treated to be smaller than normal. Climatic conditions of western and southern Europe are very well adapted to fruit growing, and the people as a whole are far more garden-minde- d than we are. Since, however, land is scarce and the average citizen with a tiny garden wants to grow as many things as possible, dwarf fruit trees seem to have been the answer. Small Deciduous Trees. Most if not all of our deciduous trees are reduced below their normal size in three general ways: by heavy pruning, especially in summer; by partially starving the roots by confining them in pots or boxes; or by grafting them upon the roots of other trees that naturally grow more slowly or remain smaller. The use of dwarf or partially dwarfing stocks is the method chiefly employed both here and abroad, although careful pruning is important in holding down excessive wood growth and in keeping dwarfed trees both small and frditful. Although pears are commonly grown as dwarfs in this country, dwarf apples are seldom seen. In Europe peach trees are reduced in size in order to adapt them to cold foggy climates by growing them against walls or under glass. The small need for such special-purpose. nvht. WNU Features.

Dwarfing a tree is popularly supposed to shorten its life.

The WNU W training they receive that is, the kind of pruning has. much to do with their size. The Doucin apple is a natural half dwarf. Varieties grafted upon that root attain about half their normal nize. Dwarf apples are trained to various shapes. The young trees are often set two or three feet apart and trellis for made fast to a three-wir- e no particular purpose except the ornamental effect they give. They are generally tilted over at an angle of about 65 degrees and kept pruned to a system of spurs. They will begin bearing the second year. This is a favorite method of training in the English fruit gardens, but the trees require much detailed attention. It would be safer for the amateur to set them about four feet apart. Dwarf apple trees usually bear too heavily but, if judiciously thinned, will produce larger fruit than the same variety does on standard roots. Even with only fair treatment, dwarf apples should live for 25 years, provided they are kept fertilized, are properly pruned, and are not allowed to overbear the last being the most important.
