Few now recall that when La- Guardia took the post he said it might be only for a short time to get things started. He is amply equipped to run Civil Defense and his choice was widely approved. But the plain fact is that he hasn't the time to give the job what it re- quires. It’s full-time work, and then some. LaGuardia has been putting in about one day & week, and when he is in Washington he works at a furious pace. But even with his enormous driving capacity the job is too vast, requires a hand at the helm six days | and even some nights a week. While Mayor of New York it is impossible for LaGuardia to devote much time to Civil Defense.

The United States yearly imports 127,000,000 lily bulbs—almost entire- ly from Japan, though some previ- ously came from Hollagnd. This is A New York florist recently ap- peared at the Department of Agri- other small European natinns from . culture, wringing his hands. He had ordered 700 cases of Japanese | lily bulbs. He had been notified that he could have 50. No reason was given. Whether the lily bulb crop in Japan is a failure this year or whether the Nipponese are too busy with their war efforts wasr't explained. Now, of course, this florist, who ordinarily handles | 100 cases, will face a lot of his Zaster customers without a bloom. SOLUTION SOUGHT Confronted with this siluation,! the Department of Agriculture has rolled up its sleeves and gone to work—and as a resuit, it's pos; Hu that in a few years the farmers of | the South may have a new indus- try.
