NEW GARDEN PLOTS| TOSIPLY JBLES Southwest Tracts Being Cleared for Cultivation, Says1 Charities Official. ge& Southwest Wesh will be pro- vided with garden plots which have never been available there before, Mr.| Ufford says. Large tracts of land have, Dbeen obtained in this section along First strcet southwest, near the river, and in other sections. These plots are being cleared and di- vided off by the Garden Committee of the District of Columbia hgloflmq Committee of which Mrs. H. Brooke is f.mmmu mmw-tw Comm! com| Tepresen tives of the Southwest Citisens’ Associa- 's Assoclation, Civie hood House, the the Board of Pub- lic Welfare and the Catholic Charities. Many Colored on List. Already 150 colored men and women have registered for plots and 38 white men have signified their intention of raising gardens. The Southwest Par- ent - Teacher Association have been interested in the plan. Prof. Herndon B. Jones, principal of the Smallwood- Bowen School, who had wide experi- ence during the World War in war gar- dens, has taken charge of assigning the gardens to the colored applicants, while Willlam J. Lee, formerly of the Agri- cultural Department, has volunteered to supervise the assignment of the white workers. All kinds of ple, from & man with s wife and dfi it children, to a boy of 14 anxious to help his mother, have ap- plied for the gardens. In the case of the 14-year-old boy it was found that his brother was trying to make a living on a taxi, having a sick wife and sev- eral children, and when there was some question as to whether or not a boy of 14 could handle a garden, kind neigh- bors spoke up and volunteered their as- sistance. Sick Man Enthusiastic. Another man just recovering from fliness and so weak that he could hardly walk, showed up to register for a gar- den, explaining that as soon as he was strong enough to handle a hoe he would get to work. He was given a chance. “We are glad to see these people gardens,” Mr. Ufford said. “The e of funds faced by the Associated Charitles makes it impera- tive that we take every possible means of eking out our food supplies and the experience of the gardeners last year has shown us that those families with gardens will be able to materially reduce their requests for food orders.” P POLICE FIGHT SOCIALISTS Danzig Trade Union Building Turned Over to Nazis.
