APRIL SIX IS
SUGGESTED FOR
A GARDEN DAY
CHICAGO. APRIL “A Sixth of
April Garden Day” as u now nationa*
holiday with the “millions of soldiers
of the soil marching to the furrows o!
freedom” every year was advocated
here today by Charles Lathrop Pack,
president of the National War Garden
Commission in a speech before the
School Garden Association of America
in session in connection with the Na
tional Superintendent’s Association.
“Could there be anything mov
inspiring”, said Mr. Pack, “than to
have a day set aside in the Spring on
which all of us shall get out of doors
and into the sunshine for the first
garden planting of the year? On tho |
last Sunday in March we had an |
extra hour of daylight which means ;
millions of dollars in increased honm
; food production. Think what it would
mean every year if on the first Wed
nesday in April or on April 6, the day
we declared war, the millions of mem- J
bora of the garden army marched ou‘. j
into the furrows of freedom in the tvn;|
for food? 5
“In the great garden there is the]
making of the better and healthier';
citizen — the creation of a longing for]
a hit of land for the individual — the j
I
creation of the desire for a home |
With that spirit implanted in thoan j
who will come after us we will have .
to set this nation upon a rock that ,
none can shake -the great American l
home. By all means let us mark th a j
I continued building for better citizen- j
ship with a national holidya as a sign :
‘ to the world that the frontiers of free- j
doni will he maintained.” j

RECORD

SALT LAKE CITY, April 5— L.
A. Hillings, known to Salt Lake Post
office employees as “Uncle Josh” is
considered to be the oldest employe ol
the postal service in the United Stat
es. He has served Uncle Sam for «
period of 52 years and four months
on April 2, 1919. He has served under
ten different postmasters In Salt l^ake
and during his 52 years service ha.-*
iost only two weeks.
Hillings first entered the mail ser
vice as a carrier of a paper route, tpe
Daily Union Vcndette, a publication
issued at Fort Douglas, near here. He
cairied a rifle while delivering the
paper, he explained, because the pub
lisher of the paper and some of its
subscribers frequently disagreed. In
the early days the arrival of mail was
an event, particularly during the win
ter, and when it did arrive it was we*
and frozen. The pouch has to be plac
ed against the stove to be thawed out
and as the ice melted a letter would be
released for some eitixen of the com
munity.
Much mail was lost after it left
; Salt Lake, Billings says, due to Indian
raids. Billings has a remarkable mem
ory despite his 84 years and he is call
ed daily to fix definitely the date of
ramie event of long ago which others
have forgotten.

charge. While the identity of the extra
ships was being discussed, the convoy
was suddenly attacked by German
light cruisers and most of the escorr

sunk. The Germans then made off.
Survivors positively assert that
there were thirteen ships and that th *

strangely as she had appeared. They j
are certain that the ship was not sunk. •
Official inquiries failed to throw any j
light on the nature of the craft. It j
was ascertained that she could not
