144 THE WAR GARDEN VICTORIOUS 



It has ever been true that distance lends enchant- 

 ment to view. Only the near at hand and the familiar 

 seem mean and commonplace. To use what we already 

 possess often seems both foolish and useless. Yet it was 

 by using the five loaves and two fishes from their own 

 pouches that the disciples fed the multitude, and many 

 another miracle has been performed by utilizing what 

 is already at hand. In organizing community driers 

 it will usually be found that all the facilities needed 

 already exist if only we have the vision to see them. 

 Existing organizations, existing buildings, existing appa- 

 ratus, and the advice and assistance of local carpenters, 

 plumbers and other workmen will provide the essen- 

 tials for a successful community drier in almost any city 

 or town. "Use what you have" is a good motto for 

 those about to organize a community drier.
