Cpl. Pass told his home folksover the radio “we are flzlzt- lng the weather as well as Hitler. We are in Germany. our face tovrard Berlin. Good luck. London, izcorl luck Britain." .

In firm, confident tones, tho King said "the lamps which the Germans put out all over Europe first in 1914 and then in i939 are being slowly rekindled." "Already." he said. "up can oec some of them beginning to shine

In reference to the Empire, he said “throughout. the Empire. men and women. boys and girls throuzh hard work. and much self KJCFiilUl: have all helped to bring victory nearer. We have shared many dan- gers and the common effort has bound us together."

Touching on international ro- latiolis. he said that "labor and devotion, patience and tolerance will still be needed for the CX'.‘(‘l'- iment of living as nations in har- many,"

The King warned that the “de- feat of Germany and Japan is only the first lialf of’ our task (he second is to crcatc a vyorld of free men ‘untouched by tyrannyl"

Ill his sixth Christmas lsrcad- czisi. of tllc war, the Pontiff ob- served that tlic peoples of the vrorld were seeking democracy, said the best form of government was de- mocracy guided by Christian prin- ciples and founded on the ob- ligations as well as the rights of individuals. declared dcmocrary could exist iii monarchy as well, ns in a republic. and denounced all systems of state absolutism. "Thank God." he said. “one may believe that. the time has passed when the call to moral and gospel pflnciples to guide the life of states and peoples was disdainful- ly thrust asidc as unreal."

Earlier in an address to the Cc!- lcge of Cardinals. the Pope spoke specifically a ainst "the enemy of st and h Church" who. he said. was himself into an angel of light" using the words liberty. indepen- dence, and democracy to "clzlor- fofiarm the vigilance“ of the faith- u .

He did not. however. identify this "enemy of Christ."

Fall spading or plow-mg of gar-l dons is desirable whenever heavy sod is to be turned under or manure or plant debris is to be incorporated with the soil. It is beneficial and saves time in established gardens where the surface is level and not subject i0 washing.

In the case of a garden with slop- ing surface likely to suffer serious erosion and leaching, fall spadlng may increase this danger. and result in more injury than benefit. If the soil can be prepared and a cover crop grown before vsintcl" sets in, erosion will be checked. and the soil will be enriched by spading the cover crop under in the spring.

Fall spading is especially good for heavy soils since they are broken down by alternate thzixving and freezing. To facilitate ‘lhis frost action, and also to help retain moisture (he surface should be left

Heavy soils are made friable by breaking up the cohesion of their fine particles. This is best accom- plished by mixing with them de- cayycd animal or vegetable ma- terial, which makes humus.
