10 NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
THe Cord STORAGE ORGANIZATIONS have been some- 
what apprehensive during the last month: because of the 
rumored activties of the government. There is no ques- 
tion but what the cold storage plans of the past must be 
modified and new plans made. There must be cold stor- 
age plants, but some way must be devised to do away 
with its evils. In some parts of our country communities 
have started codperative storage plants, but these have 
not proven economically successful. However, the nation 
has begun to study the problem and before fall many 
important changes may be possible.

TuHere Is Not Likety To BE an over-supply of pota- 
toes this year because many who would otherwise plant 
will be deterred from planting fearing the over-supply. 
Such ideas should be instantly refuted. It is the duty of 
everyone to go to it with a will and raise vegetables. 
When the time comes the government will have been able 
to do something to conserve the supplies raised.

Tue Norra Suore Has had another incident bring 
home to it the realities of the relentless U-boat war be- 
ing waged by Germany. George H. Smith, who removed 
from the Shore to Malden, was on the Vigilancia when 
it was torpedoed and was successful in saving his life. 
His experiences were terrible and only after three days 
of perils and hardships was he rescued with others. 
Tue Farm Now Presents the real war problem. 
The BREEzE is in sympathy with the “back to the land” 
movement and believes that much good will be done by 
culling upon everyone to plant and to care for a piece of 
land. Some way should be devised whereby the com- 
munity may be able to stimulate home production by the 
many smaller planters and at the same time make it pos- 
sible for the larger planters to develop their land to the 
fullest capacity, by loans, credits for fertilizers, or other- 
wise!

WHEN THE NEw Loan has been successfully floated 
the financiers of America will commandeer an army of 
bond salesmen to come to the call to the colors. These 
skilful and successful men will be rendering a-service to 
the nation equal to any service that can be rendered at 
ome or afield. The success of floating the great loan 
will assure the success of the great war.

The Red Cross magazine for May 
is of special interest to Essex County 
irembers of the great society for sev- 
eral reasons. First of all it contains 
a portrait of Miss Mabel T. Board- 
man, whose indefatigable work since 
1904 has done so much toward laying 
the foundation for the great American 
Red Cross organization which is now 
being realized. Miss Boardman was 
for years a summer resident of Man- 
chester, and her sister married Hon. 
W. Murray Crane. There is a picture 
too, of Ernest P. Bicknell, director 
general of Civilian relief, upon whom 
falls the direction of the care of the 
civil population made destitute by 
war or disaster. He came to Salem 
at the time of the great fire and was 
an active factor in working out the 
organization plans for the relief work.
