It must have been widely pre supposed, almost taken for granted, that Secretary Wallace would re sign his Cabinet position since be ing nominated for the Vice Presi dency. As a matter of fact, immediately upon his selection as running mate for President Roosevelt In the pre sent campaign, friends of Dr Clar ence Poe in North Carolina set off boom for his selection to take the place of Mr. Wallace in the Cabi net But the Secretary says he is not going- to resign. He cites tbe case of Mr. Hoover as a precedent for holding on Mr. Hoover, he says, did not resign from his cabinet position when no minated for President in 1928 . This is a mistake. Mr. Hoover did resign, and this newspaper thinks Secretary Wallace should follow his example in this matter. Indeed, whether Mr. Hoover bad resigned or not, Mr. Wallace shouid sense the peculiar circumstances cow surrounding his administration which suggest the cleaT desirability that he should not remain as a po Iitical appointee of tha President in an important office through which can be exercised such tremendous political pressures. During the present fiscal year, thedepartmentof government which Secretary Wallace heads will dis pense $506 ,000,000 in benefit pay ments to American farmers under tbe soil conservation program and more than $200 ,000,000 in socalled parity payments. Mr. Wallace has legislative au thority, in addition, to lend tre mendous sums of money to stabal- ize farm prices and may spend $235 000,000 more to remove surplus commodities. His department, furthermore, is authorized by law to lend Urge sums for rural electrification, for rehabilitation of farm families and for purchase of farms by tenants. Altogether the financial outlays to be made this year by his depart ment will aggregate around $1,- 500 ,000 ,000 . Moreover, and in addition, Mr. Wallace presides over a department of government that controls other vast complexes of lending agencies, those for instance, of tbe Farm Credit Administration, the Federal Land Bank system and the banks for co operative®. This is a tremendous source of power to be placed in the bands even of one who is independent of all political temptations and pres sures- . . At tbe disoosal of an official who is an appointee of the candidate for President, and a Lo the nominee himself of a parfy tnat will be en gaged in a desperate enterprise of re establishing itself in office,' Mr. Wallace is vested with authority and control of tremendous magni tude for influencing the political action of the farm vote of the na' tion There is no question among those who know him of tbe personal in tegrity and unimpeachable moral character of Mr. Wallace. He is a man of the highest type of probity, and we do not associate him with that form of political un scrupulousness which would lead him into the use of tbe vast ma chineries of his office to influence the votes of that class of our popu lation to whom his department dis penses bonuses, subsidies and hand outs. But, like Csesat’s wife, he should be above conceivable reproach, and, therefore, remove himself from ev ery possible atmosphere of suspic ion of using the power of his office holding in any way to the ad van. FaU Confidence. Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Charles Evans Hughes, once said: ‘‘You cannot maintain the institutions of demo- cracy by forms of words or occa sional vows of patriotism; you can maintain them only by making those institutions work as they were intended to work, with the full confidence of the people.” As our legislators in Washington continue to appropriate billions for tional defense, we should Temem- ber that our safety if not guaran teed by the implements of warfare those dollars will buy. Physical defense alone is not enough. We must also rearm spiritually and mentally. We must rededicate ourselves to Ameiica. Tbeie must be reconition of the fact, unpleasant though it may be, that there is no substitute for the personal toil, the sacrifice, and the devotipn that is needed today. Most of our lives have been too easy in recent years. We have had too many things handed up on a silver platter, without suitable re turn on our part. W hat is needed above all in America is a strong dose of character-building tonic. We need to recover our soul, in order that onr moral preparedness may keep pace with our physical efforts. We must renew faith and hope in the hearts of the hearts of our people, instil into them the spirit of service and sacrifice. We must re-create a vigorous, militant Americanism that will have neither time nor place for dual beliefs or loyalties. The Old World is challenging our democratic system of govern ment. It is challenge that should arouse every loyal citizen to* the highest effort. Therefore as we bniid our physical defense, let there also come to us realization that the finest military weapons in the world are of little or no value unless those who handle them are true believers in our country, it ideals and its future.—Ex. After The War, What? There should be no mistaken as. sumption that the conclusion of the present war, if it ends in a com plete victory for the democracies of the world, will put an end to the challenge which has, from time to time, assailed the existing world order. It is therefore essential that the people of this country give some thought to the establishment of a world order to be maintained by whatever strength may be necessary1 in order that tbe aggressor, or dic tator, powers have worked together to promote their interests at the expense of the unorganized demo cracies.

The nomination of Henry A. Wallace on demand of President Roosevelt by the celebrated hand- picked Democratic convention last week in Chicago, may win some farmers in some sections, but it has driven Louisiana, in tbe deep ‘‘Solid South” into the Republican col umn, political leaders at New Or leans say. The fast widening split among Louisiana Democrats brought.out the announcement of David W. Pipes, Jr., that he was a candidate for Congress on the Republican ticket. Pipes, a life long Democrat and nationally known sugar planter of Houma, was the second to an nounce withdrawal from the state’s anciently solid Democratic ranks within 24 hours. Charles A. FarweU, spokesman for the American Sugar-Cane lea gue, pinned on a "W illie for Pre sident” button, and said, "the Re publicans a r e Louisiana’ only hone.” National Strength. "Let us never forget that the cul tivation of the earth is the most im portant labor of man Unstable in the future of the country which has lost its taste for agriculture. Ifthere is one lesson of history that is un mistakable, i t is that'national strength lies very near the soil.— Daniel Webster. that is with combined strength. The challenge of an allied group of dictator-power can be met success fully only by the defense of a con solidated group of democratic states states. The lesson of the present world- world-conflict is to be found In the truth that those whose beleive in democracy and civilization, as we know it, must combine their strength if they expect to prevail. tage of his office seeking. Much better for him, no matter how meticulously clean and politi cally honest he is. and may contin ue to be, that he resign before run ning—Charlotte Observer. Incompetents and Nat ional Defense. Washington was astonished when the President had H arry Hopkins move into the W hite House in or der to be at his elbow to advise with him on national defense matters during the emergency. This is the same "T ax, Spend and Elect' Hopkins who headed the W PA during the 1936 elections. To say the least, his administration of the W PA was' not noted for its com petency. One fact emerges in all wars— stands as a lighthouse to guide na tions whose. safety is threatened. This fact is that nations survive only when they drive incompetents from power. A vigilant and fat seeing country makes sure of effic iency beforehand by taking pains to insure internal stability, frugal ity, and coherence of policy. No nation that has survived war has failed to root put inSompeten- cy. If they wait until war comes to do. so, they suffer doubly while they reorganize—Congressman Car rol Reece. Not Time Yet To Tell. The apologists for the third term argue that the people care nothing about it. For the same sources comes the statement that the President has been returned as a candidate for the W hite House becauss "the people demand him” . We wouldn't know for a fact a- bout that! It may be true or it may not. Certain it is that while millions of our people manifestly do want him, millions of others do not. It is, therefre, very opinionated to make the downright and un- afnended statement that The Peo ple of the United States want him back in the W hite House. . Only the election this Fall can de monstrate whether that is true or not—Charlotte Observer. Honesty Is Best. Gentlemen, let’s have a . clean, honest election.

The Party Platforms And War. The attitude of the American gov eminent toward the European war was an issue of supreme magnitude before the conventions of both ma jor parties. The coneem of the people them selves focuses toward that question. They should be well satisfied with the statements in both platforms on the matter. That is, of course, if they can con fidently put any abiding reliance in these political declarations. Unfortunately, from precedent and experience, it would be well for them not to give too much of final credence to what the politicians say in respect to such questions. Party leadership and Presidents have at times felt themselves only flexibly bound to these commitments Al Smith paid no attention to the platform of his party, in 1928 Mr. Roosevelt disregarded that of his party in its deliverances on budge tary issues. But if these two parties this time mean what they say in regard to how this country should react to the EJuropean war. the people have rea. son for calming their fears as to the participation of their government in foreign wars. The Republican platform says: ''TheUepubIican party is firmly opposed to involving this nation in foreign war.” That of tbe Democratic party says: “ We will not practice in foreign wars and will not send our army, naval or Mr forces to fight in foreign lands outside of tbe Americas except in case of attack.” Both of these statements are strong, firm, and without mischie vous adjectives' to qualify or rob them of their straight forward and earnest meanings.—Charlotte Obser ver. Congress Not Asked. The Washington, D. C., Post. Congress is obviously bewildered as to where the line between - our own defense requirements and those of the British Government is to be drawn. The inescapable conclu sion is that there has not been a meeting of minds between the ad ministration and Congress on this matter. Tbe President has not taken congressional leaders into his confidence in working out the detail of our foreign policy in this period of grave emergency. That fact may become a source of grave misunderstanding and confusion. If democracvis the light of the world, somebody must keep the light burning. Davie Boys To Camp.

(Gastonia Gazette) It has been estimated that from 300 to 500 bushels of sweet potatoes per acre of the variety best suited for making starch can be produced, and that there is money in them even as low as 25 and 30 cents a bushel. This imformaiion comes from some of the best informed sources on starch from sweet potatoes. There is a big experimental plant at Laurel, Miss., and all the information from that point is that there ought to be a big future in this business Think of the added income that would come to farmers of this section from large crops of sweet potatoes. And in this industry, the entire crop can be used, large, small, culls, roots and all. Tbe residue, or by-product, potato pulp is said to be a fine food for stock as beet pulp. It would be a good thing for local agricultural and Chamber of Com merce authorities to be looking further into this m atter of starch from sweet potatoes. It seems to offer wonderful possibilities for a m ore' diversified agriculture. A sweet potato crop is one of the most easily raised and one of the cheapest crops grown. “Read ’Em and Reap” o u r A D c THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C.

WNU SERVICE CHAPTER X—Continaed —15— "You’re in fine form tonight, Ga- briella.” Connie Belmont fluttered her long lashes at them across the table. “If Pete wasn’t your cousin, I’d be a wall-flower, too.” John turned to Gay. "Will you dance with me?” he asked quietly. Her eyes, brilliant with animation for the others, clouded as her quick upward glance met his. “I’d like to,” she said and rose as he got up to pull back her chair. "Excuse me,” she said directly to Robert Cameron and, silently, at John’s side, walked to the edge of the dance floor. She was light in his arms. He scarcely felt her hands, on his shoul der, in his hand. She held herself at a little distance from him. He could not see her face, only her red- brown hair, brushed smooth tonight, bound with a narrow bandeau of dull gold leaves. They circled the floor in silence. Then John said: "It’s a nice party.” “Yes, isn’t it?” she said and was silent again. He had thought that, dancing, he might find her again. During this interminable evening, she had held him off as, now, physically, she kept a distance between them. Her ani mation for the others excluded him, though he had sat beside her. Si lently, miserably, unable to respond to her mood, he had watched the ef fect of her high spirits upon the party. Now with him, alone, she was silent. "Are you having a good time?” he asked, when again and more slowly, as the number of dancers increased, they had circled Ihe floor. “Oh, yes!” she said. “Are you?” "No! You know I’m not!" She urew back and looked up at him. "Why not?” she asked lightly, smiling, her eyes sparkling in dark blue glints between the thick straight lashes. "It’s a beautiful party. Robert always does things nicely.” Her expression changed. "Oh John, no!” She gave a little despairing cry. “I’m miserable. I’ve never spent such a wretched eve ning. Why didn’t we do as we’d planned? Robert wouldn’t have minded.” “You were afraid we’d quarrel,” he said. “Yes, I was. If you’d seen your face when Mother asked me what I intended to do this winter.” "I never heard anything so com pletely selfish,” he burst out with low vehemence. “It was tactless of her to have spoken of it in your presence, per haps. But that’s Mother’s way. She calls it being practical. It didn’t occur to her that you would think her heartless, as you did—” "But she’s your mother, Gay!” "We each lead a completely inde pendent existence. It’s not a bad idea. When I see what some moth ers do to their children. I’m glad Kitty is like she is.” “But you don’t want to visit Tory Wales in Palm Beach?” “There’s only one thing I really want to do.” “Don't you know how that makes me feel?” “Flattered, I should hope.” Her smile trembled. “No, you can’t know,” he said bitterly. “You can’t know what it’s like to feel humiliated, not to be able to take you away with me, now, tonight, to have you make explanations which I should make. You haven’t been happy and nei ther have I, except that first day, Christmas Eve—” “Yesterday and today in the coun try? Weren’t you happy? I was.” “But why?” They moved slowly, only their feet conscious of the rhythm of the waltz. “Because we avoided any reference to the sub jects upon which we disagree, be cause we were alone except for Kate and your father.” “Oh, dear!” Her laughter shook. “I made you come here because I was afraid we’d quarrel if we were alone, and I wanted your last night here to be pleasant. Don’t, John. Talking spoils everything. If we keep on at this rate—” Her head dropped against his shoulder. He felt her tremble in the tightened clasp of his arms.“I’m sorry, but I’ve'got to know. Look at me, Gay.” His voice was rough with urgency. “Tell me. Do you want to go on—?” Her eyes, lifted to his, were bril liant with terror.“John!” she cried faintly. “Dar ling!” “I don’t see how you can,” he said more gently. “I’m— There’s nothing—” “I love you,” she said steadily. “Dd you, Gay?” His lips moved but no further words came. He saw that her eyes brimmed with tears.“Darling,” he said, moved as he was always by her rare tears. “Let’s get out of here. I don’t want to talk to the others. I want to be alone with you.” “I want that, too.” She blinked, then smiled. “Do I look spotty from weeping? Lucky I don’t use mas cara.” “Very lucky. You look lovely.” His arms released her reluctantly. “Can we say all the polite things now and get away?” “Of course we can.” She held his hand tightly as they made their way through revolving couples toward the table which her step-father had engaged. No one was there. The other members of the party were dancing in the glow of artfully mellowed lights on the crowded floor. “We’ll have to wait.” John sighed. “No, we won’t.” “But politeness, darling.” “Wait!” She caught up her eve ning bag from the table, opened it, took out a lip-stick. Holding fast with her left hand to his hand, she printed in staggering bright red cap itals on the table cloth— "GOOD-BYl GAYAND JOHN.” John set his cup in the saucer and pushed back the sleeve of his topcoat to glance at his watch. Gay watched him with widened eyes, holding her breath. "Fifteen minutes,” he said. She let her breath exhale with a sighing sound. “Time for another cup of coffee,” she said, and glanced toward the waiter drowsing against the wall. “No, darling. All those steps.” His lips smiled at her across the table in the station restaurant, but the smile did not reach his eyes. “Do you want me to miss the train?” “That’s the object of drinking two cups of coffee. John must you go?” “Must, Gay.” He rose and walked around the table to her chair. “I don’t want to go.” “Don’t you?” She caught his hand resting on the back of the chair. “Even after—everything?” She tilt ed her head back to look up at him, her eye3 soft and bright, a half-smile curving her lips. ' “None of that seems important now. Darling, come.” She rose slowly. He held her coat. She slipped into it. He bun dled the collar about her throat. “I shouldn’t have let you come with me.” Goiqg out through the door of the restaurant, he held her arm tightly. “It’s so late and so cold.” “Carl is waiting. Fll be all right.” A red-cap with John’s luggage followed them across the vast vault ed concourse of the station. Only a few late travelers moved past and before them. Their footsteps made a hollow echoing sound. She pressed dose to Urn. “Take me with you, John.” He smiled down into her lifted eyes, sad in the depths beneath the brilliance. “What would I do with you, Gay?” “Couldn’t we rent something? A house or an apartment. How do people in Portland live?” “I live in Dr. Sargeant’s home, as you know very well.” “Was—is that a stipulation?” “A very important one. I couldn’t have come here to see you if I’d had to pay board since October. I couldn’t have bought this new bat which you don’t admire." “I do. It’s a marvelous hat. Now that I’ve gotten used to it, I think it makes you look very handsome and distinguished.” “Liar!” He pressed her arm with his arm against his side. "Darling!” “Has Dr. Sargeant a family, John?” “Mrs. Sargeant. Their older daughter is there this winter with two small sons. Her husband is an officer in the Navy. There’s a younger daughter in college who comes home pretty often for week ends.” “Is she attractive?” “I don’t know. I’ll look at her when I get back and send a re port."She laughed.“I’ve never really seen a girl since Fve known you.” — “Darling! I’d like to believe you.” “Do you know how you look now?"“Wan and exhausted from trying not to burst into a flood of tears." “lake a Russibn princess. In that fur cap and coat. Thqre should be a drosky waiting outside' for you instead of a limousine.” “There are no more Rusrian prin cesses.” “There are in illustrations t o Tol stoy’s novels." “Hut they don’t have blue eyes." *<They should.’’ His voic' faltered. “Oh, Gay.” “Don’t go, John. It seems such a little whity since I came here In meet you and we’ve wasted so much of it being unhappy.” . “I can barely remember.” "And we’re wasting what’s left talking about Russian princesses and Dr. Sargeant’s family.” “That’s called whistling to keep your spirits up. What should we talk about, darling?” “I don’t know. I should be able to think of something beautiful, some thing that you would remember. I can’t. AU I can say is I love you.” “That’s beautiful and I will re member it.” “Darling.” “You sweet!” They neared the train gate. John tightened his grasp on her arm. “Will they let you go down with me. Gay?” “I’d like to see anybody stop me. My grandfather owned most of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford once.” The official at the gate asked no questions. They started down the stairs. “It was the chin up that did it,” . John said. “Oh, I don’t think they care, espe cially late like this.” They descended into the chiU air and murky light of the lower IeveL “We’ll have to wait,” John sighed. The train with curtains drawn over section .windows and lights burn ing dimly in vestibules waited on the track. The red-cap led the way toward the sleeper in which John’s berth was reserved. They lagged behind, walking slowly, very close together. “You’re going, aren’t you? I be lieve it now that I see the train. John, when will I see you again?” “I don’t know. I’U be tied down pretty closely after Dr. Sargeant sails, except on Wednesday after noons and evenings.” “May I come to see you some Wednesday afternoon?” “Would you, Gay?” His face brightened. “I want my mother and sisters to meet you. And my grandmother. You’ll love my grand mother.” She glanced at him and away. “What?” he asked. “More family? Can we risk it?” “They’U love you.” “I hope so." She hesitated, then continued. “I’m sorry," she said. “I wanted—” “I love you.” “I love you.” A brake-man’s call echoed past them. They made t o the vesti bule of the train. "Better not go aboard, Miss,” the porter said pleasantly. “We leave in one mo’ minute.” “One more minute, John.” He caught her into his arms. Their lips met and clung. A second call echoed. He broke away from her arms. The porter leaned out of the vestibule. John raced into the train, colliding with , the Negro. "Good-by,” 'he called as the train began to move. “Good—” She ran a few steps beside the car. . John caught her hand, dropped it. “Remember. Some Wednesday aft ernoon." The train picked up speed. She fell back, breathless, stood strain ing t o a last glimpse of John’s waving arm, his face, the hat that she' hadn’t admired. The train moved, forward into darkness. The red light at the rear diminished into a dot, a pin-point, was gone. ' Gay turned toward the stairs lead ing up to the station IeveL Some , Wednesday afternoon-* - CHAPTER XI John stopped his car before a square frame house set flush with the pavement along a street of square frame houses separated by stretches of snow-covered lawns. The late afternoon light was gray and a sharp wind blew in across Casco Bay. John, stepping out of the car, glanced up through bare branches of elms, serene and gra cious in summer, etched now in bleak austerity against a cold gray sky. There was snow in the wind, he thought. A March blizzard would probably leave in its wake an epi demic of influenza. Nothing to do about it, though. .He sunk his chin into the collar of his bearskin coat and started across the icy pave ment to the steps of the house. . A child’s voice, shouting, drew him to the fence, parallel to the street. He looked through brown skeletons of lilac bushes into the side yard. “Hi, Commodore!” he called. The shouting stopped. Nathaniel Adams, Dr. Sargeant’s eight-year- old grandson, standing on the seat of a garden swing strung with an intricate network of ropes and string, waved a mittened hand to ward him. “I’m Admiral Byrd,” he called. “Oh, are you? How’s it going? Land in sight?” “We’re in desprit straits,” Ad miral Byrd in a blue and red snow- suit and high buckled galoshes shouted cheerfully across the ice floes of the Antarctic. “Radio’s gone dead. Can’t get a squeak out of her anyhow.” “That’s serious,” John sympa thized. “Have you tested the tubes?” “Aya. Deader’n a door-naiL” John smiled, marveling at the ra pidity with which a child adapted himself to an environment. Young Nat had been born in the Philip pines and cut his teeth in San Fran cisco, but his “Aya” was as authen tic as though, instead of six months, he had spent the six years of his life in Maine. “Well, keep your courage up. You ought to sight land by morning.” “Maybe you can find out what’s wrong with it?” Nat suggested. “Sorry, old man. Excuse me— Admiral. I’m a doctor, not a radio technician.” “You could try anyway, couldn’t you?” the child persisted. “Got to keep moving, N at You’d better come in pretty soon. This wind is cold.” John went into the house. Lamps were lit In the wide hallway. The warm air made his face bum. He threw off his coat and went to the table beneath a gilt-framed mirror. The day’s accumulation of mail lay there in a tidy heap. John ran through it rapidly. Nothing from Gay. There had been nothing for three days. That was not unusual, though. Sometimes he received two letters a day. Again several days would pass without a message from her. He’d hoped there would be something today. Her letters were graphic, amusing, affectionate. He enjoyed them. Well—(TO BE CONTINUED) Laundry Experts Advise Mending Before Washing The tradition that mending follows washing as inevitably as spring fol lows winter is being gradually dis carded in favor of the reverse way of doing things. Proponents of the modem school of laundering now ad vocate doing the mending first. There are several advantages in. getting the repair work out of the way before clothing and household furnishings go into the laundry. A small hole in a sock is likely to be come a large one in handling. A frayed buttonhole may be tom apart or the thin portion of a sheet give way entirely. Perhaps it is just as well to exempt loose or missing but tons from advance restoration and sew them on later. But patching, darning, reinforcing, and such things, if done in advance, win pro long the life of the laundry bag’s contents materially. The chief objection to this order used to be a natural distaste t o handling soiled laundry, but dis criminating people no longer delay washing until clothing and linens be come unpleasant to touch and smeH Practical reasons,,as well as.aes thetic ones, have brought about more frequent washing. Soil and pers piration left in fabrics wear them out through erosion and chemical action. And the vigorous handling needed to remove these harmful substances in washing causes addi tional wear and tear. Frequent laundering with abun dant soap and water and a minimum of rubbing is far more satisfactory in the long run than.the mistaken thrift which may induce prolonged wear without washing, _ .

Also about her favorite grandson, Bill, and his up- and-coming bride, Marty — the same for whom Gram made the stunning rag rug in Sewing Book 3. Then there is Bill’s kid sister, Betsy, who streamlined the old iron bed illustrated in Book 3. You all know “Mom,” too. She has be come almost famous because of her curtains and slip-covers and “The Rug That Grew Up With the Family.” And there is “Dad” who is handy with hammer, saw and screw driver. Well, recently the family have “ganged-up” on Gram about her fancy out-of-date buffet. They think she deserves and can afford LUMBER ADDED* CHEST PAINTED BLUE TO MATCH CURTAIN5 AND CHAIR SLIP COVER something new. Gram decided to get rid of the buffet, then Marty said that she wanted it! This sketch shows you one of the things she and Bill did with it. Watch next week for what became of the mir ror and legs.

While the black, berry crop was mighty short this year, and the season is past, the cantaloupe and watermelon season is on in full blast. Well, the worst has happened. The famous Al Smith, who had the support of most of the leading democrats in Mocksville in 1928 , has announced that he will support Willkie. Al says the democratic partv is about dead. John Lewis hasn t yet said what he is going to do. Here’s hoping he will climb on the Roosevelt band wagon. Many democrats of the old school —those who voted democratic be fore the days of the New Deal— seem to be climbing on the Repub lican elephant or the band wagon. Among those who have recently joined the Wiilkie parade are Irvin S. Cobb, famous writer; Vance Mc Cormick, former Democratic Na tional Chairman; Stephen Chad wick, former National Commander American Legion; William Murray, former Democratic governor 0 f Oklahoma; Senator Burke, Demo crat, of Kansas; Alan Valentine; president of Rochester University, Geo. N. Peek head of Democratic adjustment administration; Lewis Douglas, budget rirector in the Roosevelt cabinet a few years ago; Senator Jaames Reed, and John W. Hanes, of Winston-Salem, former assistant to the secretary of the treasury. Seems that the country is opposed to giving any man a third term as president of these United States. Big Picnic Tomorrow.

The following little squib appear ed in The Record last week: “ There is one thing certain—the CCC boys will have to cut down on their baths or the Mocksville peo ple will have to learn to live with out drinking water." On Thursday morning we receiv ed the following letter- from Lieut. Cbas. R. W rigbt, Jr., Company Commander of the Mocksville CCC Camp: Mr. C. Frank Strand, Editor Davie Record, Mocksville, N. C. Dear Mr. Strand: Reference is made to your editor ial on page four of your newspaper printed Wednesday, July 31 , 1940 . When the water supply at Mocks ville btcame temporarily inadequate a few days ago, the boys in the CCC Camp were more than willing to co operate in cutting down on lbeir watet consumption. The undersigned will place your newspaper on the bulletin board and let the men in the Company be the judge of a fair deal. Yours very truly, Charles R. W right, Jr , Company Commander. Tbe Record editor meant no of fense whatever In the little joke, taking it for granted that the CCC boys wonld take it in the same spir it in which it was written.

PARTON (Consolidated Features—'WNU Service.) N EW YORK.—The first World war tipped over 20 reigning princes and dukes, four emperors and seven kings, in addition to a scattering of _ _ small-fry roy-Earopean Royalty alty whose is Heading Our names are Way in Droves “I1*** ' forgotten. Carol of Rumania and George of Greece were the only kings who came back, and they aren’t a good risk for Lloyd’s—and perhaps Lloyd’s isn’t either. K the Mayflower were still afloat, it could book a full passenger list of kings fleeing from commoners, seek ing a haven in a new world—at any rate, kings and their consorts, their courtiers and others of princely rank. It is understood that the Em press Zita of Austria will be in America before long. The word "former*’ is omitted here, in def erence to a clever, purposeful woman, who has never admitted that she isn’t still the empress. Of her son, Archduke Otto, now living in a two-room apartment in New York, she once said, “If the time ever comes when he has hot one servant, that ser vant will call him ‘your majes ty.’ ” In early-day San Francisco a stately old gentleman with a splen did, kingly uniform announced that he was “Emperor Norton,” and was pleased to make San Francisco his royal domain. Nobody knew who he was or where he came from, but he looked and behaved like an emperor, so they took him up on his proposition. He held court, for years, received homage and issued decrees, and when he needed rev enue levied on the stock exchange, finding a handful of $20 gold pieces always ready. He died sitting straight upright in his little cubby hole room, wearing his full dress uni form. The city gave him a grand funeral. • San Francisco was proud of her emperor. They never did learn anything about him. This department was never par ticularly partial to kings, but in ad dition to child refugees it might be a nice idea for each city over here to adopt a CM esM ayBid king, or a FortheUnkappy prince o'r Royal Refugees Ho^ course, would get Zog of Albania— now in London and fixing to sail for America, according to news reports —a “swingtime king” who installed in his Graustarkian palace a 40-piece American jazz band and became one of the best hoofers in his kingdom. Philadelphia probably would put in a bid for the Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxem burg, a thrifty homebody, now in Quebec. The news is that, if England fails, she and her six children will come to the C. S. A. She knits; plays the piano; is a fluent linguist and rears her children beautifully. There might not be any bidders for old Ferdinand of Bulgaria, the but terfly collector. He has a knack for pageantry, however, which might interest New Orleans. In case the above should appear to be a callous reference to tragic unhappiness, the main idea is that this democracy might well accord a certain respect to fugitive royalty because it appears to have some thing it really b&ieves in. A T MIAMI, FLA., IN. October, 1934, John Dwight Sullivan, then commander of the New York department of the American Legion, urged the Legionnaires to concen trate less on more and bigger bonuses and to center their efforts on understanding and supporting the government in constructive under takings. He emphasized the need for co-operation as citizens rather than activity as a pressure group. His was a scholarly essay on citizen ship. Now Mr. Sullivan has placed before the convention of the New Tork County Legion a proposal, for a single, unified United States air force, in which all air arms of all services would be under a single command. Mr. SulUvan is chairman of the Legion’s na tional aviation committee." He is a New York iawyer and an alumnus of Princeton imiversity. He has been active in the further ance of civil. and military aviation for many years and was appointed a member of the New York state aviation commission by Governor Roosevelt in 1930. He is 47 years of age, scholarly and ascetic in appearance, preaching social re sponsibility in the Legion for more than a decade. * He insists that the organization cannot attain its high purpose with out widening activities in political education, and an informed attitude on basic questions of domestic and foreign policy. Democratic Nominees Plan Campaign Strategy Unlike Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees Wendell L. Wlllbie and Sen. Charles L. Mc- Nary who had never met before their selection as the party’s 1940 standard bearers, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Henry A. Wallace, the Democratic candidates, have been closely associated in the past seven and a half years. President Roosevelt and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace are shown above conferring on strategy for the coming campaign in whicli the President will seek a third term. When Hitler Returned in Triumph to Berlin ■f • * .r* Storm troopers with arms linked hold back the crowds as Adolf Hitler, leader of the Relchr returns to Berlin in triumph after the successful military operations of his-armtes in France. One of his first acts on his return was to promote a number of his generals to the rank of marshal.. Goering: was made a “Reich’s Mar shal.” Hitler stands upright in his official car and returns the salutes of thousands of his greeters. Sino-Japanese War Goes Savagely Ahead While the war in Europe has diverted attention away from the Sino- Japanese conflicts, scenes like the one above show that hostilities are still in progress. The Japanese soldier is one of a party wiping out the streets of Ichan;, one of the most important strategic points in the defending army of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-sheb.

Young Briton Inaugurate^ Big Push This young citizen of Southgate^ England, is doing his bit for king and country, following a call by the mayor of his city for citizens to torn in their old scrap metal and help make the sinews of war for the defense of Britain. The youngster went from door to door , with his homemade cart collecting odds and ends. The. campaign in Sonthgate was duplicated in other English towns with citizens turning in scrap metal. ‘Phonies’ Beware As a means of aiding citizens to detect counterfeit bills and coin, paper match folders such as the young lady above is holding are be ing issued by the U.

Deaa of The Moody Bible Instituteoi Chicago. . . . %(Released by Westera Newspaptf Union.) Lesson for August 11 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE WORKS ANB THE WORD OF GOD LESSON TEXT—Psalm 19.GOLDEN TEX T-Let the words of sny mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.—Psalm 19:14. Consistently beautiful and beauti fully consistent is the revelation of God, whether it be in the glory of His works, in the perfection of His Word, or in His gracious dealings with man. The spiritually, minded man sees God in all of His works, whereas the blind materialist sees only matter and natural laws which he may use or abuse. He makes of God’s creation things for his own comfort or for the destruction of his fellow men, not recognizing “the Creator, who is blessed forever.” This is a serious matter, for in so doing the unbeliever has “changed the truth of God into a lie” (read Rom. 1:20-25). The psalmist here presents God as He is revealed in nature, in His Word, and in the heart of man. I. God’s Glory Revealed in Nature (w . 1-6). “The heavens declare the glory of God.” The sun in all its glory and power and the starry stillness of the night all “utter forth -a glorious voice,’.’ as Joseph Addison expresses H: "Forever singing, as they shine,‘The hand that made us is divine.’ ” . Nature speaks eloquently of God without saying a single word. The eye, the mind, and the heart of men may see in and know from nature alone the “eternal power and God head; so that they are without ex cuse” (Rom. 1:20). “No man living beneath the copes of heaven dwells beyond the bounds of God’s court preachers.” Those who do not hear or heed these voices, whether their ears “are stopped with the clay of earth ly tastes and occupations, or stuffed with scientific wadding of the most modern kind” (Maclaren), are de scribed by Paul as having their fool ish heart darkened: “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” (Rom. 1:21, 22). Nature gives only a limited rev elation of God, showing His exist ence, power and wisdom; but to really know Him we must see n . God’s Perfection Revealed in His Word (w . 7-11). Nowhere in the book of nature is it written that God is a Redeemer, a cleanser from sin, a restorer of the soul. That truth is found only in His Word—the Bible. What folly then for sinful men who need re demption to see God only in nature, but never look into His Word or go to church that they may hear His truth proclaimed. The final and perfect revelation of God is in His Son, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer. The psalmist with the eye of faith saw the perfection of God revealed in His law. We are privileged to know the Son of God who came not “to destroy the law . . . but to ful fill.” Note the beautiful symmetry of verses 7-9: Law .........................perfect... restoring (R.V.) Testimony.............sure..........making wiseStatutes..................jig h t........rejoicing Commandment... pure........enlighteningF ear. .................clean.......enduringJudgments.............tru e ...... altogetherrighteous Little wonder that the psalmist says that the words of God are sweet er than honey, more precious than gold, and worthy to be heeded and kept. The great reward of thus knowing God’s Word is that we may learn of III. God’s Grace Revealed in the Heart of Man (vv. 12-14). Man is a sinner; ,sometimes he sins unwittingly and ignorantly; sometimes deliberately and in pre sumption; and sometimes both. What shall he do with his sin? The psalmist says to bring it to God in repentance and prayer for cleans ing. We may add to his invitation the admonition to come for cleans- ing in the blood of Christ. "Come to this fountain, so rich and sweet; Cast thy poor soul at the Saviour's feet; Plunge in today, and be made complete;Glory to His name!'* God’s grace not only cleanses—it keeps us. He is able and willing to make not only the words of our mouth, but the very meditation of our hearts acceptable in His sight. That means holy living. There is nothing more needed in our day than a revival of Christian living in the daily responsibilities of life. Personal purity of heart and motive, recognition of God’s Word in thought and life—these things will make the believer “upright” (v. 13) and re flect honor and glory on the Lord who is oiur ‘ strength” (R. V. “rock”) "and redeemer” (v. 14). ItiS Easy to Make AndEasytoW ear IV/TAKE it in a few hours, and IV l wear it day after day aftei day! You can see, from the small diagram sketch, how easy this dress is to put together—merely five pieces, including the sleeves, and the only detailing consists of a few simple darts at the waist line. But you can’t really tell until you get it on, how easy it is .to wear and work in, how unhamper- ing and becoming. The waistline looks slim but is completely un restraining — nothing. about the dress to catch you up short when reaching into the top shelf or dust ing down the stairs.

(Recipes Below) Household KIeius T f e M n re. Summertime is picnic time, and you pack up your troubles as you unpack your picnic kit. Perhaps one reason why a picnic is such a popular outdoor sport is because its preparations are so easy on the lady of the house . . . sandwiches, stuffed tomatoes (or just smaU whole toma toes) with hard cooked eggs and a steaming cup of tea, are a tradition al picnic lunch—and that’s an easy meal if there ever was one! No dishes to wash afterward . . . paper cups and plates eliminate all such labor. Carry the tea in a ther mos bottle, if you like, or brew it “fisherman style” over an open fire. One hot dish is important at a picnic; it might be stew, or chow der, baked beans, or a macaroni dish—but do have something hot! There are pic nic h ints and menus that you’ll like, in my cook book, “Easy En tertaining” ; there’s a menu for a beach party, a hiking trip and a steak fry, too—with all the recipes you’ll need for this simple form of entertaining; Broiled Baked Bean Sandwiches. Bread, sliced Baked beans Cheese, sliced or cut in strips Bacon slices, cut in halves Arrange bread on broiler. When bread is toasted on one side, turn. Then cover the untoasted sides of the slices of bread with baked beans. Place cheese over the beans and top each sandwich with one-half slice of bacon. Place under broiler and broil until bacon is crisp and brown and cheese is melted. Ginger Creams.

Yet, if solved correctly, we save time because fallen cakes don’t have to be made over again and we save money too—because the family simply won’t eat tough, chewy pastry, heavy, soggy cakes, etc. In fact, it is to avoid just such baking failures as these (and many more) that I have compiled this cookbook, “Better Baking.” “Better Baking” brings to you a whole se ries of baking hints, as well as a compilation of many of my own fa vorite baking recipes, including such unusual good-to-eat ones as a frost ed nut spice cake, gumdrop cake, chocolate fudge cake, quick apple cake, and even a maraschino cher ry cake. -To secure your copy of this book, simply send 10 cents in coin and please address, “Better Baking,” care of Eleanor Howe, 919 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

By GEORGE A. BARCLAY A t r a d i t i o n of 152 years standing w a s s h a tte r e d w hen President Franklin De lano Roosevelt w as nom inated for a third term by the Dem o cratic convention in Chicago. It w as the first tim e in his tory th at such an event has occurred. F rom sta rt to finish a t the convention it was evident he would be nominated. Even when speak ers proposed the names of other candidates, it was apparent that when the vote was finally taken, President Roosevelt would be draft ed. A surprise to many convention attendants was the fact that when the nominations started, Alabama did not yield to New York, but gave its junior senator, Lister Hill, the honor of nominating the President. Greatest speculation centered around the nomination of a vice president. It became known on the final day that President Roosevelt’s choice was Henry A. Wallace, secre tary of agriculture. As in the case of the renomination of the Presi dent, the delegates knew for whom they were to vote before entering the hall. But it was only after a neck-and-neck race with Speaker William B. Bankhead and a noisy demonstration by groups of dele gates and spectators who shouted objections' when Paul V. McNutt, federal security administrator, asked withdrawal of his own name, that Mr. Wallace was nominated. His selection is expected to appeal to agriculture and to act as an off set to the same appeal of Sen. Charles McNary, Republican vice- presidential nominee. Acceptance Speech. In accepting the nomination for a third term, Mr. Roosevelt showed himself once more a tradition smasher. In a radio address broadcast from the White House to the delegates he said that he accepted the nomina tion only after deep conflict between his personal desire to retire and the urgings of his conscience. But now, he said, the Emopean war had cre ated a public danger in the United States. “In the face of that danger,” he told the delegates, “all those who can be of service to the republic have no other choice but to offer themselves for service in those ca pacities for which they are best fitted.” It was an apparently united party that made the ballot unanimous for Roosevelt after the vote of the state delegations had given the President 946 13/30 of the 1,100 votes in the convention and the other candidates a combined total of 149 2/30. These candidates included Postmaster General Farley, Vice President Gar ner and Senator Millard Tydings. Secretary of State Hull, although not a candidate, had received 5% votes. One after another the names were withdrawn and finally Mr. Farley, 1940 STANDARD BEARERS F ranklin D . Roosevelt spearhead of the opposition to the third term, moved Uie nomination of the President by acclamation. Aside from the balloting and the reading of the planks in the plat form, three things stood out in sharp relief in an otherwise unemotion al and unexciting convention. One was the candidacy of James A. Far ley and the speculation over his future role in the party. The other was the reading by Permanent Chairman Alben W. Barkley of Ken tucky of a statement summarizing President Roosevelt’s views on the nomination the night before the bal loting in which he said he had no desire or purpose to continue in of fice and released all delegates pledged to him. The third was the dramatic appearance of 82-year-old Senator Carter Glass of Virginia from a sick bed to inveigh against breaking the third term tradition as he nominated Mt. Farley. Roosevelt vs. Farley. The approaching dissolution of the partnership between Mr. Farley and President Roosevelt was evident as the chairman of the Democratic Na tional committee raised his gavel on Monday noon, calling the convention to order. Those who remembered the situation in 1932 and 1936 when Farley was the organizing genius felt the contrast. No longer was Jim Farley the general-in-chief di recting the strategy that would re nominate his chief. He was in an other role—that of a candidate for the presidency himself and an avowed opponent of the third-term idea. For months it had been apparent to political observers that the Pres ident and Mr. Farley no longer saw eye-to-eye. The President’s silence on the third-term question and Far ley’s known opposition to it in creased the difficulties. Their his toric conference at Hyde Park, N. Y., a week before the conven tion at which Mr. Roosevelt made known his views and pledged Far ley to secrecy, pushed the question of their future relationship further into the limelight. To many, it seemed virtual confirmation of the long-standing rumor that Mr. Farley would resign his national committee and cabinet posts after the conven tion to take over the majority stock of the New York Yankees’ ball club. Complimentary references to Jim Farley by President Roosevelt in his radioed acceptance speech and by Mrs. Roosevelt who appeared personally to speak on the closing night were interpreted as a gesture of friendship to Mr. Farley. Democratic Women Gain Voice In Party’s Platform Council By HOWARD JARVIS ANOTHER tradition was broken by the Democratic party when it gave women delegates an equal voice with men on the party plat form committee for the first time in American political history. This action was taken at the fourth session of the convention. More than 2,000 women delegates had decided to put up a united front to demand this equality. The women didn’t hesitate to use their new-found power. They intro duced several amendments to the party platform, and those amend ments were passed. Foreign policy and women’s rights received partic ular attention. At the insistence of Mrs. Arthur Condon of Washington, D. C., the plank on foreign policy which had already been accepted by the com-, mittee was changed to provide a warning to foreign dictators. Five words, “except in case of attack” were added to the pledge not to send troops to fight in foreign lands. The new committeewomen put through a plank which had been re jected by the all-men members of the Republican platform committee. This was a statement which pro vided that a woman’s marital status should not interfere with her right to hold a job. The plank was de sired because 26 states at different times have had bills proposed to dis criminate against married women. Another victory for the women re sulted when the Democratic party was pledged to promote equal op portunity for women through the ef forts of Congresswoman Mary T. Norton of New Jersey. It pledged the Democrats to work for "equality of opportunity for men and women without impairing the social legisla tion which promotes true equality by safeguarding the health and eco nomic welfare of women workers.” Women delegates concerned them selves primarily with the business of the convention and forgot their social activities, according to Mrs. Elizabeth A. Conkey, national com- mitteewoman from Illinois. As con vention hostess, she pointed put that most of the social activities had been concluded before the convention got down' to its serious work. Random Notes of the Convention ft More women delegates cast their votes in the various state delega tions than ever before in the history of conventions. One state delega tion—Utah—had more women than men, the ladies outnumbering the gentlemen nine to seven. In the Florida delegation the representa tion of the . sexes was equal. The New Jersey delegation had Rep. M arr Norton as its chairman. ft One-eyed Connolly,, perennial gate-crasher, failed to crash but at tended the convention wearing the badge of an assistant sergeant of arms. He assisted Andy Frain, in charge of ushers. ■ ft Hollywood was represented by screen star Melvin Douglas and his wife, Helen Gahagan. He was a California delegate, she his alter nate. H enry A. W allace With evidence' mounting that Roosevelt would be drafted when it came time to ballot later in the week, there was little opportunity for suspense or excitement the open ing day. Thekeynotespeechof Tem porary Chairman WiUiam B. Bank-, head on opening night warned both political parties that the American people are in no mood for petty politics in the forthcoming race, that.the major objectives of both parties must be unity and solidarity of purpose in preserving the struc ture of our government and the per petuation of the people’s freedom. Fire at Republicans. Heavy guns were turned on the Republican party in the speech of Permanent Chairman Barkley, the following night. Senator Barkley held their platform up to scorn, de nounced Wendell L. Willkie, at tacked statements of Herbert Hoover at the Republican convention and pointed to the record of Republican congressional voting on various pre paredness bills. One mention of President Roosevelt’s name brought a: demonstration lasting 22 minutes. The statement from President Roosevelt which Mt. Barkley read at the conclusion of his speech, had no effect in halting the draft-Roose- velt movement, although Mr. Bark ley had said "The President has never had and has not today any de sire or purpose to continue the office of President, or to be nominated, by the convention for that- office. He wishes in all earnestness and sincerity to make it clear that all of the delegates to this convention are free to vote for any candidate.” A demonstration lasting an hour followed the statement and it was a foregone conclusion that nothing could stop the delegates demand for Roosevelt when balloting took place. This was abundantly dear on Wed nesday night, as state after state seconded the nomination speech. Glass Gets Ovation. Dramatic was the appearance ol Senator Glass on behalf of Post m aster G eneral F arley. Rising from a sickbed and attending what may well be his last convention, the Virginia statesman was eloquent in his praise of Farley and won for himself a personal ovation. “Farley,” he said, “is a man who never broke a pledge once given, who believes in the unwritten law as advocated by Democrats ever since the days of Thomas Jefferson, who less than three years before his death ap pealed to his party never to nomi nate a man for a third term.” But while the delegates cheered Senator Glass, it was ■ a personal tribute only. Their minds were made up. Tradition or no tradition they wanted PresidentRoosevelt for a third term. . With the nominations out of the way, the Democrats faced their campaign opponents from a plat form built on a strong defense of the New Deal against the Republi cans and of the Western hemisphere against all aggressors. In its planks on foreign wars, defense and aid to the allies the platform was a dose approximation of similar planks adopted by the Republican conven tion at Philadelphia recently. Concerning foreign wars, the plat form stated: “We will not partici- pate in foreign wars and will not send our army, naval or air forces to fight in foreign lands outside of the Americas, except in case of at tack.” Concerning defense the platform pledged to “enforce and defend the Monroe doctrine,” “provide Ameri ca with an invincible air force, a navy strong enough to protect, all our seacoasts and a fully equipped and mechanized army.” The platform is pledged to safe guard the farmer’s foreign markets, expand his domestic markets for all domestic crops, to promote farmer- owned co - operatives, marketing agreements, extend crop insurance and safeguard the family-size farm. In other planks, the party pledged extension of the Social Securitir act to “millions of persons not now pro tected,” but without specifying them. A provision calling for “early reali zation” of a minimum pension for the aged was considered an appeal for votes of the Townsendites. The party devoted considerable space to its declaration for continu ation of public hydro-electric projects and condemning the “Power Mo nopoly” in one paragraph mention ing indirectly Wendell L. Willkie’s long duel with the Tennessee Valley authority.

V Letter to The President The following open letter was written to the President and Congress of the United States by Emory Evans Smith, Consulting Engineer, of San Francisco. Although the word and pacts of other peoples may have come to uought or been thrust into tragic unbelief, and our country’s simple trust and largess betrayed—Ameri ca must remain honorable. Though the moral standards— the very foundations and props supporting governments be broken down and good faith and veracity be no longer coin—America must remain honorable. Though the moral world fades inlo shades of savagery, and feer and deceit cloud our celestial vision —America must remain honorable. Thongh civilizations crumble a. bout us and men’s minds are filled with dismay, and the air and the seas are shaken by wings of de struction—America must remain honorable and true to the fathers of its founding. Though our lot be that of pros* perity or poverty or beset with tur moils that may sear the souls of men and lay waste our green land —we must remain honorable—hon orable, alike, as a people to each other and honorable as a nation to all nations. Though enemies and false friends may deceive and revile us and seek to destroy our virile life stream— our institutions, our abodes, our bodies and sonls—and impose the grinding heel of tyranny. Never-' tbeless we have a sacred duty, born of the mighty heights of truth and justice—honesty of mind and sin cerify of purpose transcending life itself. In these exalted heights lie our honor and self respect, our hope our faith and the responsibilities of a free-born citinzry. W ith these jewels we will not part. We must be ready, now that riv. ers of base desire run red with the blood ot the innocent, to example, as the evil tides recede, the better wav, the human way, the righteous wav—America must be honorable. The light of progress must ton tinue to illumine onr allotment of God’s good earth. Tbe seed of "goodwill among men’’ must not be lost to near prosperity—nor our sons and daughters deprived of their heritage of moral and spiritual vir tues, or the pattiotic lights and principals ot ancestral greatness. W hatever of fault may be ours— and there has been fault—it must not be said in history that our Re public has faltered in its task—its duty-to its people, its. duty to man kind—or has taken one step back ward in honor. To be a citizen of the United States of America is a pridefnl title and it should mean something more —it should he a message to the world in honor. PubUc Fears Inflation. Saying that “debt has grown re spectable,’’ Dr. Charles W. Coult er told 300 bankers, gathered re ceutly in Washington, D. C., that fear of inflation is keeping many Americans from trying to accumu late money b y ; saving. He stated that many families, taking their cue from the Federal. Government, no longer fear to go into debt. Doctor Coulter said that when a democratic government spends twice its income, other groups and indi viduals feel they can do the same. And StUl They Come.

Land poster* for sale at The Record office. German Cooperation. Already peace overtures from Germany, directed toward allaying the fears of the United States, are being sent out by "reliable soiirces’’ to this country. Pro-Hitler pro pagandists are tTying to convince -the people of this democracy that (he Fuehrer has no designs on the Western Hemisphere; that the de feat of Great Britian, which would put Europe under German domina tion, is no threat to the political idealogy or the economic and terri torial security of the New World. In June, DasSchwarze Korps, or gan of the Blackshirt Elite Guard, Berlin, reviewed the 165 years of German-American relations, and de clared that there had never been a real cause for bad blood between the two countries Tt extended an invitation to the United States to join the United States to join the new strong powers’’ and to co operate with the Reich. "T he very nature of the new German Reich,” the paper said, “is not unlimited extension of its power beyond the borders of its uwn well- defined ‘Lebensraum.’ The Reich follows in its natural growth en tirely different laws from those of the British Empire, which merely sought to exploit foreign peoples for the benefit of the ruling pluto crats.” After the invasion of Austria, the first German putsch, General Goer- ing gave his solemn word of honor to the Czechoslovakian Minister that Germany had no intentions a- gainst that country. He reaffirm ed this, stand to the. British Am bassador in Berlin. After Munich, Hitler protested that the restora. tion of the Sudetenland settled all his territorial ambitions in that di rection, and offered to guarantee the independence of Prague. In March, 1939 , he occupied Prague, then, publicly stated that there was no quarrel between Ger many and Poland, and reaffirmed the non-aggression pact signed be tween the two countries five years earlier. Last September, as his war ma chine rolled toward Warsaw, the German Chancellor said he would respect thetreaty he bad signed in 1937 , along with France and Eng. land, guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium. At the same time, he in formed the Dutch that their sover eignty would not be violated by the Nazis. The record speaks for itself Nazi cooperation means Nazis. Nazi domination means treachery and murder, physical and economic enslavement, death to freedom.— Supreme Council Bulletin Dollars And Humanity. When North Carolina’s Iohn W. Hanes resigned as undersecretary of the treasury to which he had been called by President Roosevelt, tl;e latter indicated deep regret becauise of the severance of these officials ties, and exhibited, also deep and deserved appreciation and gratitude for the sacrifices Mr. Hanes had personally made in laying down his lucrative private connections i n this public service for a small com pensation. But now that Mr. Hanes an nounces his support of Mr. W itlkie instead of hts former chief for the Presidential nomination, Mr. Roose velt shows sourness and applies the smear-brnsh. "M ore interested in dollars than in hum anity,” .he now says of "Johny.” This is not the largeness of mind aud spirit that we would properly associate with a man of the Presid ent’s positiou and 'Statute. On the contrary, it is much of the exact! opposite.—Charlotte Ob server.

Roosevelt LosesTemper President Roosevelt has b e en "bossing” the New Deal so com pletely be does not want any real Democrat to oppose him without his taking a "crack” at him. In that spirit he flared ud in his press conference at Hyde Park, N. Y., where he spends much of his time, and "spoke his miud” about Senator. Edward R. Burke, Lewis W. Douglas, John W. Hanes and former Senator James A. Reed— four anti third term Democrats who have teamed up with Wendell L. Willkie. Prompted by press conference questions, Mr. RooseveJt said be understood -that the Democratic par ty had bolted from Burke; that the administration felt the minds of Douglas and Hanef, former govern ment officials, ran more to dollars than to humanity; and that Reed was well qualified to lead dissident Democrats. The President was first asked whether the word “ bolt” properly described Burke’s offer of support for Willkie. He made the remark about the paTty bolting Burke and then grinned until a roar of laugh ter at his. answer had subsided. Burke was defeated for renomi nation in the Nebraska primary bv Gov. R. L. Cochran. Mr. Roosevelt was reminded, he said, of Lewis Douglas and Jobnny Hanes by an inquiry about how be regarded “this dissent of Jefferson ian Memocrats1 ” Douglas did not vote Democratic four years ago, Mr. Roosevelt as serted, aud he doubted that Hanes did, either. He added that they were honorable and aimable young men who formerly were in the gov- ernment'service.- Ex. Swats Mr. Roosevelt. Hugh'Johnson, one of Roosevelt’s right band men in the early days of the New Deal, says: " If it were not for the bondage of the South to the bitter memories of the Civil War, no Southern De mocrat could possiblv follow Mr. Roosevelt. He has taken away from them the protection of the two-thirds rule, ruined the export m arket for their principal crop, cotton, neglected to recognize, the discrimination ' against them i n freight rates and their competitive necessity for differentials in wage rates. No political power since ThaddeusSfevens has been more unsympathetic toward their pro blems,” Hardee To Aid Willkie. Washington—Former Governor Cary A. Hardee,- of Florida, has announced through the Republican National Committee that he had bolted the Demo :ratic party to sup port the presidential candidacy of Wendell Wilikie, G. O. P. nominee. Hardee charged that President Roosevelt bad “draitad” his own renomination for a third term. He said that when Mr. Roosevelt inti mated that he did not want the nomination, be saw to it tbat no other candidate was developed. “ When another became too pro minent he was smeared, by Secre- tary ot the Interior Harold Ickes or some other new dealer,” Hardee asserted. "In some cases he would put up a 'straw man’, and knock him down at the proper time. H e assumed a mysterious attitudewhich always adds zest to any movement, In the meantime many of his office holders and new deal politicians, the ‘pie counter’ boys, were beat ing the bushes and ringing bells, while Mr. Roosevelt himself sat in the background pulling the bell cord. ’ ’ Hardee added that the President might have stopped the movement but failed to do so, although the third term drive bad started before the present war emergency. He declared the anti third term tradit ion as “unwritten law.” At the same time J. L. Replogle Republican committeeman for Flor- ida, said that he was “ optimistic” on W illkie's ability to carry the state. He ascribed anticipated De mocratic defections to the sugar quota laws and the Cuban recipro cal trade agreement, the latter of which permits the importation of fruits and vegetables grown in Florida. Democratic Ex - Gover nor For Willkie. Columbus, Ohio— George White; of M a'ietta, ope time chairman of the Democratic national committee aud former two-term governor of Ohio, said he would support Wen dell L. Wiflkie, Republican presi- dential nominee. “ As an American, believing.in a free democracy, I cannot bring my self to vote tor President Roosevelt for a third term,” White asserted in a prepared statement. He was a member of the Ohio delegation to the recent Democratic natioual convention in Chicago. “ In 1932 I believed in Mr. Roose velt and whole heartily supported him,” Whtte said. . “ As governor of Ohio I actively co-operated with President Roosevelt and the uew deal on an emergency basis. “In 1936 I supported and voted for the President for a second term with mental reservations, fearing he would make the emergency p.-r manent. “ As a Jeffersonian Democrat I can and will vote for Willkte.” Davie Senda Iiuii To Army.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. evs LARRIMORE© MACRAE SMITH CO. WNV SERVICE CHAPTER XI—Continned —16— John stood looking at a post-card from Dr. Sargeant. A crescent moon reflected itself in dark blue water. A round white tower, a light house, perhaps, rose against a star- strewn sky. A slim red boat with a half-furled sail lay at anchor against a strip of land where dark trees grew. Constantinople—Phen- er Bagtche. The lettering conveycd nothing to his mind, but the boat reminded him of the red canoe at the lake. He stood thinking of the cabin, of Gay— A .voice addressed him. He turned to see Abbie descending the stairs, walking heavily, her hand sliding along the rail, her white apwn cracking with starch, high-colored face ,w^eathfed;?^E% n amiable smile. ' ' i'5"“ ‘ “Hello, Abbie;” John said. Abbie had lived with the Sargeants for years. She was more a member of the family than a servant,.. as Hul- dah was in his mother’sJJJanei “You in for good?” :iffie asked, halting at the newel post. “I hope so.’’;,“I’ll have supper on in half an hour. . You sure your ears aren’t frost-bitten?” she asked with kindly concern. “It’s just coming in where it’s warm that makes them red.” “I’d advise you to rub snow on 'em,” Abbie said. “It’s a heathen ish life a doctor’s called on to live. I don’t know why, at your age, you’re so set on it. Give me the word if you’re called out, so’s I can set something in the oven.” The office was shadowy with dusk. John switched on a light and dropped into the chair at the Doctor’s desk. Dr. Sargeant would have known how to handle that whining creature he’d called on this afternoon, he thought, lighting a cigarette. He, himself, had been unable to sympa thize with the woman who had poured into his somewhat embar rassed ears a stream of self-pity and imagined symptoms. His ex amination had checked with notes on the case he had found in the Doctor’s files. Physically, she was as sound as a nut. His sympathy had been all for her husband, poor wretch. Mo, definitely, he hadn’t a bed side manner. John pulled the desk memorandum toward him. There were fewer notations than usual written in the clear handwriting of Miss Sprague, Dr. Sargeant’s secre tary and office nurse. One nota tion was made in writing quite dif ferent from Miss Sprague’s. It asked him to call the Congress Square Ho tel, Room 201. No name was ap pended. A guest, perhaps, who re quired the services of a doctor. He should make the call. In a few minutes when he’d gotten warm and had finished his cigarette— He would be glad when this pe riod of marking time had passed and he could go on with the work he enjoyed. John tilted back in his chair and propped his feet on the desk. He would never be happy in a practice. He liked the stark facts of science, unconfused by human contacts, the crystal hardness of truth that could be checked and {proved. He had thought that he might experiment a little on the side. Perhaps he could when he had become more accustomed to the routine of office hours and calls. For the present he was too tired when his long day had ended to do anything more exacting than read for a little or talk to Mary. Adams before he went early to bed. The crescent moon and the red boat on the postcard the Doctor had sent recalled the cabin again^H e should have had a letter from' Gay. She had been in Florida when last he had heard from her. It was impossible for him to imagine the life she lived there. As always, when his mind dwelled upon the dis similarity of their separate environ ments, a chill of apprehension set tled about his heart. He comforted himself by recalling the night she had seen him off at the station in New York. But a great many Wed nesdays had passed since then and she had not come. The memories of her which he liked best to recall went back to the time they had spent at the cabin. He found himself skipping over the visit to New York. There was, he thought, deliberation beneath that apparently subconscious evasion. When be recalled the visit to New York, incidents presented them selves which demanded dear and logical thought. It was more pleas ant to feel about Gay than to think. Now, while she was so far away from him, when anything might be happening, it was disturbing toihinlr ~ He should begin again the experi ment he had abandoned at the cab- in. If he could become interested J b aomething. o f the sort, he would stop this useless brooding over Gay. It was that, he admitted to him self with reluctant honesty, rather than fatigue or lack of time which had prevented his original plan ot converting the small room in which the Doctor kept supplies into a lab oratory. In his leisure moments, when he was not actively engaged in keeping together the Doctor’s practice, his mind was so filled with thoughts of Gay that there was no room for anything else. It was like ly to be harmful and certainly a waste of time. He must stop it. He would call the hotel. Miss Sprague was almost terrifyingly ef ficient. She would be sure to ask him if he had when she returned for the evening office hours. He took his feet from the desk, sat for ward, reached for the telephone— Todd Janeway was in Palm Beach. Gay had spoken of it in a recent letter. He was attractive. There was a strong bond' between Gay and him. He remembered how she had looked the night they had coasted on the Janeway estate, when she had returned to him after climb ing the slope with Todd, rested, re laxed, eager to be with him again. She had broken away from Todd and come swiftly to him, smiling through the fire-light. How strong was that bond? Had his trip to New York convinced her that she had made a mistake? He wouldn’t think of it. His hand reached for the telephone again, halted, knotted into a fist— A rap sounded at the door. He ignored it. At a second rap, he wrenched his thoughts from an imaginary scene on a moon-lit beach in Florida and made a somewhat irritable reply. The door opened. Mary Adams, Dr. Sargeant’s daughter, stood hes itantly on the threshold. “I’m sorry,” she said. “That’s all right, Mary.” John’s face cleared. “Are you in a good humor?” “Fairly so. Why?” “I have an apology to make for my younger son.” Contact with th* tropical sunshine had given Mary Adams’ skin a permanent tan. She was slight and worn, at thirty, from having dutifully, and gladly, fol lowed the fleet, from having had two babies, “each in a different lan guage” as she expressed it, from tiie struggle to keep up the neces sary front on a naval lieutenant’s pay. But her dark eyes in the sharp pixie-like brownness of her face were animated and cheerful and the stories she told of her vagrant ex istence were a source of amuse ment to John. “What has Skippy been up to?” he asked. “Look, John.” She held out a crumpled sheet of yellow paper. “This telegram came for you yes terday afternoon. I left it on the table in the hall and supposed you’d gotten it when you came in. But Skippy must have. You know how he’s always looking for letters from Nat. I found it in the pocket of the sweater he had on yesterday. I think he's eaten most of it. There isn’t much left.” John took the paper from her hand. The only typewritten words which remained legible were “—NOON TOMORROW—GAY” He looked up from the paper to Mary Adams. “Abbie took a telephone message just after noon when Miss Sprague was out for lunch. It was from the Congress Square.” “Do you suppose that was Gay?” he asked in a dazed voice. “Abbie said it was a lady. She never gets names straight, you know. When I found the telegram I was pretty sure—” 4 “Then she’s been here all after* noon.” John ran his fingers through his hair effecting crisp disorder. “Why didn’t you call the hotel?” “I considered it, but I thought she might wonder why I read your tele grams.” “What will she think of me?” John asked still in a dazed and be wildered voice. Mary’s face twinkled with sympa thetic excitement. “I’ve spanked Skippy if that makes you feel bet ter," she said. “You’ll bring her here, won’t you?” “May I?” “For dinner, if you like. We can open the emergency bottle of olives. Or maybe you’d rather—” “After, dinner,” he said. “Will you take care of her during office hours? Is it imposing?” . “Imposing! I’m hysterical with excitement.” John’s diffident smile widened into an irrepressible grin. “Mary,” he asked, “did you ever feel as though somebody had socked-you in the pit of your stomach and a mil lion stars were bursting inside of your head?” He reached tor the telephone. Mary moved toward the .doorway, smiling. “I feel that way every time Nat’s ship steams into port,” she said gently, and went out and dosed the door. John laid down the menu card and the waiter moved away. He smiled diffidently across’ the nar row table at Gay. “A straw hat,” he said. “You’ve torn several leaves off the calen dar. This afternoon I was sure we were in for a blizzard.” “Don’t you like it?” Her smile was constrained. “I’m more polite than you were. It’s nice. Looks like a halo. Have you had a pleasant winter?” “Very pleasant, thank you. I got a little weary of palm trees and bathing suits, though. I wanted to see snow.” “Is that why you came?” “Well, variety— You look—” Her glance dropped from his face to the table. She constructed a wigwam with a knife, a fork, two spoons. “Are you working hard?” “You haven’t forgiven me, have you?” His voice softened. He bent toward her across the table. “I He would be glad when this pe riod of marking time has passed. don’t blame you. It was dreary not to be met at the station. I can’t tell you how sorry I am. What did you do all afternoon?” “Stayed in my room. It has matching draperies and counterpane the color of melted raspberry sher bet. There are twenty-fleur-de-lis, light gray on darker gray, running lengthwise in thfe carpet from the window to the door.” “Is that all you could find to amuse you?” His laugh was reluc tant. “Oh, no.” Her voice was light and quick. “I read the telephone direc tory and the Bible. The Psalms are rather wonderful. I think I should have liked to know Da vid. Is he the same David that killed Goliath? I wanted to ask you. I’m sure that your Biblical training, was more sound than mine.” “Gay, look at me.” She IUted her eyes. A half-smile trembled across her Ups. “You had a miserable afternoon, didn’t you? Alone and thinking— What did you think?” “I spent most of the time wishing that my impulsive nature had been more rigidly disciplined in early youth.” “I’m glad it wasn’t.” “Are you?” The half-smile faded. “Do you remember the night I left New York you told me that you’d come to see me some Wednes day afternoon?” She nodded. “Every Tuesday night since then I’ve thought, ‘Tomorrow is Wednes day. Maybe Gay will come.’ ” “Today is . Tuesday. I couldn’t wait until tomorrow.” They broke into soft laughter, free from constraint. The waiter placed food before them, hovered solici tously. “That will be all,” John said in definite dismissal. “The effect you have on waiters and taxi-drivers and bell-hops,” he continued to Gay when fiie man who had served them had stationed himself at a discreet distance, againsjyjfc* wall beside a thicket of potted& M K "^ ve been in here pretty n jjH p s l no waiter ever hovered o refe» lik e a setting- heh over an egjj^|6 f'' - uEggt -I hate JWfl1?

Th£ WlIiafflingiOUt suit rose and fell with her quick ened breathing. “I’m trying to be practical. You make it very cult. Am I to stay here at the hotel?” “Certainly not.” His expression was offended. “But I don’t mind. Now that I know you’re glad I came, I’m surft I’ll become attached to the fleur- de-lis and the raspberry-sherbet counterpane.” “You’re to stay at Dr. Sargeant** tonight. Mary sends you the invita tion.” “Mary?” “Dr. Sargeant’s daughter, Mary Adams, mother of Skippy and Rear- Admiral Byrd.” Her eyes widened. “John! Are you delirious?” “I think I am, a little. I can’t get used to having you here. I was referring, however, to Maryb older son, Nat. He was being Admiral Byrd this afternoon in the swing. They’re nice kids. I think you’ll like Mary.” The headwaiter, patrolling, halted beside the table. “Everything satisfactory, sir?” he asked, addressing John, but with his eyes sliding toward Gay. “Yes, thank you,” John said curtly. “The steak is broiled as you like it?” The headwaiter’s suave, dis creetly interested glance was for Gay. “Not too rare or too well done?” “It’s very nice, thank you.” The headwaiter strolled off. John scowled, then grinned. “You see,” he said. “That never happened to me. The desk-clerk told him who you are.” “Oh, nonsense. You attach too much importance to my name. No body in Maine ever heard of me.” “I don’t believe it. Well, if that’s true, it’s the way you look. They think you’re a movie star. That golden-brown tan—” “Don’t you like it? I worked aw fully hard to get it. Maybe I could have myself bleached.” “Don’t you dare,” he said. "I love it. You’re freckles scarcely show at all.” She made a laughing grimace. “Not that I object to the freckles,” he said. His voice softened. His dark eyes, regarding her across the table, were bright but tenderly grave. “I love everything about you. You’re a little breath-taking until I get used to you. I think I remember, but each time you’re a shock. You have beautiful bones.” “Can’t you forget your profession for half an hour?” “Good Lord! No, I can’t ” He glanced at his watch. “We must go.- Office hours.” He halted in the process of pulling back his chair. “But you haven’t eaten anything—” “Neither have you. The head waiter will think the steak was too well done or too rare. And all these lovely French fried potatoes?” “I’ve got to go, Gay.” He signaled the waiter. “You stay and finish and come up to Dr. Sargeant’s in a cab.” “I will not.” Her voice was in dignant. "I didn’t come all the way to Portland, Maine, to eat French fried potatoes.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Battleships Using Atoms . Is Scientific Forecast Operation of battleships by atomic energy was intimated as a future possibility by Dr. Arthur H. Comp ton, of the University of Chicago, 1927 Nobel Prize winner, during a discussion with Dr. E. O. Lawrence, Nobel Prize winner and inventor of the atom-smashing cyclotron. “The progress being made In the smashing of atoms by the cyclotron, and which thereby releases the en ergy in them, is of more importance to the world today than the war In Europe,” Dr. Compton declared. “The energy in the atoms is that used in the. sun and stars. It is hundreds and millions times greater than all the rest of the fuel now available in the world. “Already the science of releasing this atomic energy has advanced to such a state that one of the greatest worries of scientists at present is what to do with it, once it finally becomes available.” . Dr. Compton pointed out that one of the greatest elements to be con sidered in the release of atomic en ergy is that there can never be any corner on atoms, such as can be brought about on coal and oil, but that there can be a corner on the understanding necessary to use theix power. Oh this point, he declared, the ,JJiuted States has the greatest -“ nee of obtaining such a corner, the work necessary to arrive at knowledge is now being accom- Ijtished in this country..

We would hate to think that there was but one man in this country who was big enough to fill the office of president of this great country of ours. A prominent democratic office, holder in Davie county told us a few days ago that Mr. Roosevelt didn t have a chance to be re elected president in November. The grn tleman may be right. Time alone will ttll. A big democratic rally was ad vertised to be held in this city last Saturday night. We didn’t find out just how many were present, but there was a large crowd on the streets, in the theatre, and other places of amusement. We were talking to two Iredell county democratic farmers a short time ago. One of them remarked that he had voted for Roosevelt twice, but was sorrv he voted for him the last tinie. Both said that they wouldn't vote for a man for a third term for president Thous. ands of other voters in the conn try are of the same opinion, ac cording to newspaper reports. Erecting New Building.

The 62 nd annual Masonic picnic held at Clement Grove Thursday, was well attended, but the crowd was smaller than last year during the morning hours. About 3,500 people were estimated present when the exercises began shortly after 10 :3°. Col. Jacob Stewart was master of ceremonies. Hon. Frank Hancock delivered the annual address. He is introduced by Gordon Gray, publisher 0 f the Winston Salem Journal Sentinel. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. J. H. Fulgbum, pastor of the Mocksville Baptist church. The exercises by a chapter of or phans from the Masonic Orphanage, pbanage, at Oxford, was enjoyed by all who could get under the ar bor. M usic was furnished by tbe Mocksville high school band, as sisted by members of the Coolee mee band. The afternoon exercises were concluded shortly after four o’clock. The most enjoyable feature of day was the old-fashioned country dinner, which was enjoyed by hun dreds of people from Davie and ad. joining counties and states. After all had eaten to tbeir hearts con tent, many baskets of fragments were taken up. There was no stortage of good things to eat. The big crowd assembled Thurs day evening for the lawn party. It is hard to estimate the number pre sent, but at least six to eight thou sand people were present. The large crowd was orderly and well behaved, with but littledrinkingin evidence. It is not known just what the receipts from tbe picnic will total, but it is hoped they will at least equal, if not excee.d, that of last year. The day was ideal for the picnic, with temperature read ings in the eighties.

At that time Mr. Ijanns was a youth of about 15 yeats of age. J. Lee Kurfees, local merch ant, was present at the first picnic held, but has mi.-sed at least a few in the past 62 years. H. T. Smith- deal, of Advance, who attended the first picnic held at Shoals, is i n other Davie man who has made a perfec’ record having .attend -d year ly' for the past. 62 years.

Rit a h a y w o r t h won a v ic to ry w hen D irector Charles Vidor offered her a chance to become Brian Aherne’s leading lady in “The Lady in Question.” Because the sultry-eyed actress wears clothes so well she’s, been la belled “the best dressed girl in filmland.” And because she’s what she is, she found herself in danger of acquiring an other label—that of a glamour girl. But the lovely Rita wants to act. If you’ve seen her in “Susan and God,” with Joan Crawford and Frederic March, you know that she can do it, too. But in that one she was beautifully dressed. She wanted a role that would give her a chance to show what she could do in spite of being dowdily dressed. Vidor certainly gave it to her in “The Lady in Question.” Her entire wardrobe for this one cost less than $45. A drab suit, shoes with run-over heels, and a yeiy simple afternoon frock—that’s what this “best dressed” young woman was given to wear. She was 'delighted. But she couldn’t go 'dowdy all the way—she had to wear silk stockings. Remember Marie Wilson, the cun ning blonde who was clever enough to put herself across in Hollywood -by playing dumb? Her most recent picture was “Boy Meets Girl,” which isn’t exactly recent, after all. She has just concluded a 20 weeks’ personal appearance tour, and now she's back in pictures; you’ll see f a U-K - i MARIE WILSON her in “Virginia,” playing a neu rotic young New York society wom- Ian who wants to buy an historic ,Virginia plantation owned by Mad eleine Carroll and transform it into a night club. Grim fate pursues Bette Davis on the screen. She’s died, gone Insane, lost her eyesight, faced certain death on a plague-ridden island, been murdered, and caused a scan dal that rocked the world. In her new picture, “The Letter,” she starts right out by killing a man. However, her roles haven’t affected her private life—she’s taking rhum ba lessons in her free moments. Speaking of free time—Raymond Gram Swing (whom Radio Guide re cently named “the wisest and most scholarly of the war commentators”) has had but two free weeks for vaca tion in the past four years. And with the European situation what it is there’s no telling when he’ll ever again have time off. A honeymoon that was delayed for five years started recently, when Laurette Fillbrandt (“Virginia Rich- man” of “Girl Alone”) and her hus band, Russ Young, finally departed for Hollywood and points north. He’s a radio announcer, and ever since their marriage, when he wasn’t booked to announce she was com mitted to acting—getting 16 free weeks together was something of a triumph. Are you one of these movie Ians who implore the stars to do some thing on the screen that will really be a message to you? If you are, you annoy your favorite star no end. George Brent has one of those fans, a girl who wants him to tap ' his cigarette three times on an ash tray at least once in each picture, I just to let her know that he was , thinking of her. He did it as a gag ; in one picture, and regrets it—says since then she’s been so insistent that he’d be muscle-bound if he ac ceded to her demands. Fretty Brenda Marshall (now iworking in “East of the River") gets regular letters from a youth who wants her to mention his name just .once during the picture. And Jane Wyman receives roses to wear. When the roses arrived when she started work in “Tugboat Annie Sails Again” Jane took steps- She wrote him that she couldn't do it if she wanted to, because she has to do what the script tells her to, that she has rose fever and can’t stand the flowers—and besides, that die’s married.

HouseholdNeujs FROSTY FOODS FOB SUMMER (Recipes Below) When you’re “eating out,” and you wonder what to order for the grand finale of your meal, how often do you decide on a delicious sound* ing parfait? There’s something very special about this tall, imposing and delectable dessert. And there real ly is no reason at all why having parfaits for dessert should be con fined to our “eating out” days. A parfait may be a culinary creation, but with modem ice cream freez ers, improved freezing in mechani cal refrigerators and commercial mixes to help produce smooth, creamy, frozen desserts, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t serve them often at home! Make a variety of ice creams and sherbets too, and serve them with cookies or dainty cakes.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY!CHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQtTlST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Cfiicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for August 18 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Reugious Education; used by permission. GOD’S CARE OF HIS PEOPLE LESSON TEXT—Psalm 23.GOLDEN TEXT-The Lord Is my shepherd; I shall not want.—Psalm 23:1. Confidence, contentment, assur ance, safety, security—all words ex pressing the deep desires of the hu man heart—fittingly characterize the blessed and beautiful Shepherd Psalm which is our lesson next Sun day. Here the soul meets God in per sonal, intimate fellowship—in the promise of provision for every need, deliverance from every danger, the assurance of both present and ul timate blessing. It has become the best known of all psalms and per haps the favorite scripture of most Christians. Familiarity may cause us to miss the blessing of such a scripture pas sage. To help us to make a fresh approach to this Twenty-third Psalm, let us follow the suggestion of Dr. W. E. Barnes and think of it as describing the journey of life. We find that we may go forth I. In the Care of a Sure Guide (vv. I, 2). Nothing is more important in trav ersing an unfamiliar land than to have a competent guide. The jour ney of life is a pilgrimage through a land unknown to us, with its many pleasant places, but also its howling wildernesses, its pitfalls and its ene mies in ambush. “The Lord is my shepherd.” If I am in His flock He will guide me, care for me and give me the joy of green pastures and still waters. The expression “maketh me to lie down” (v. 2) is worthy of special comment—that all too often we be come too busy or too important to take the rest we should have, and the Good Shepherd has to “bend the knee” of the sheep and make him lie down, sometimes even by the force of sickness, or of trying cir cumstance. Why do we make it necessary for our Shepherd to thus deal with us? n . With Every Need Provided (w . 3-5). We are a needy people, constant ly dependent on the loving provision of our God. Dr. J. H. Jowett says that man has three enemies: (I) The sin of yesterday, from which he can not get away; (2) the temptation of today, made more powerful by the pressure of the clever and insidious seducer, Satan; and (3) the fear of death which awaits him tomorrow. Good Shepherd, wilt Thou meet these mine enemies for me? “Yes,” comes His answer through the psalmist. For the sin of yesterday there is the restoring of the soul. Every where the power of God is evident, restoring that which has been de stroyed or broken down, healing the wound; but nowhere is it more evi dent or blessed than in His restora tive ministries to the soul. He cleanses from sin, gives peace through His Word, joy through a hymn or a bit of poetry, comfort In the fellowship of a friend. For today—“He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” ^he world offers many by-paths, and makes them seem to be the right way, but my heavenly Guide will lead me in the way of righteousness. This He does, not because of any merit in me, but for His own dear name’s sake— for “the praise of the glory of his grace” (Eph. 1:6). That cares for the need of today. But tomorrow, or on some tomor row, I must go the way of all flesh and (unless Jesus comes) I must “walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” Even there I need “fear no evil.” The Good Shepherd is as znuch with me in the dark and swelling waters of that valley as He was with, me “beside the still wa ters.” Uttle wonder that this psalm has been the comfort of tens of thou sands of believers in Christ as they have passed through that valley. Why will anyone do without this Christ, who is the Good Shepherd (John 10:11)? Every need finds its full satisfac tion: enemies are discomfited, the oil of gladness anoints our heads, and our cups run over as we go on HI. To a Destinafion Certain and Blessed (v. 6 ). Not all .who set out upon a jour ney reach their goal, but the Lord ha! never lost one of those entrusted to His care (John 17:12). Goodness and mercy through all the days of our lives would lead only to ultimate disappointment if they did not bring us to the Father’s .house. In that house there are “many mansions” or abiding ,places (John 14:2) prepared for us by our Lord. We know we shall come to that blessed journey’s end with safety, because He will bring us there, to go in and out no more forever. To study such a lesson is to cre ate the desire in one’s heart that all men should know about this Good Shepherd, to be brought into His flock.

Swaim, of Greensboro, spent several days last week in the city with home folks. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Horn and children, of Somora, spent several days here last week with relatives. O. C. Austin, of Statesville, was among the picnic visitors Thurs. day. On account of nine blowouts he arrived too late for dinner. C. C. Cherry, of Philadelphia, spent a few days in our midst the past week. Charlie has many friends here who are always glad to see him. Misses Luna and Bonnie Brown, of Bishopville, and Hartsville, S. C., are spending a short while in town with their parents. Miss Nora Penry, who has been IiAing with her sister, Mrs. Chal Sain, at La Junta, Colo., returned home last Wednesday. C. S, Driver, of Berkeville, Va., arrived :ast Thursday to spend a week or two with home folks on R. 2, before leaving for camp. Richard Anderson and children, of Rutherfordton, came down last week to spend a few days with re latives and to take in the picnic. Au Infant son of Mr. and Mrs. George Minor, of near Fork, died last Sunday, and was laid to rest in Fork cemetery MonJay afternoon. J. I.

Jack Allison, of Campi Jackson, came up last week to visit! home folks a tew days. Jack is I looking fine and is in a hurry to get to France to help lick the Huns. It was with much sadness that the people of Mocksville learned last Ftidayof the tragic death of Miss Nell Shepherd, which occurr ed on Tuesday night, Miss Shep herd was riding a horse near her home in Wilkes county, when the animal became frightened throwing her to the ground. Death resulted in a few hours. Miss Shepherd taught in t*ie graded school here two years ago, where she made hundreds of friends. In point of attendance the 40th annual Masonic picnic held here last Thursday did not measure up to former years, but when every thing else is taken into considera tion, it was one of the most sue cessful events ot the kind ever held, W ar conditions and the extreme hot weather ate two faetors respon sible for keeping a great many peo ple away. The casualty list from overseas Thursday carried the name of Jas. C. Cook, of Advance, as having been severely wounded on the bat tle front in France. It is not known whether the wound was or will prove fatal, but we are all hoping that he will recover. He is the first of Davie’s sons who has been woun ded in the great world war.

Kurfees, Jr., in Winston JonrnaL Mr. Franklin “ Deficit” Roose velt thought the Hon. Lewis Doug las was humanitarian enough to be appointed director of the budget and it is a matter of record that Mr. Justice W. 0 . Douglas thought enough of the ability of Tohn W Hanes to insist on his leaving New York and coming to W ashington to work for him at a personal sacri. fice. While in W ashington, the secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morganthau, Jr., was so impressed with the value of the “ redhead from Carolina,” that be persuaded him to become assistant secretary of the Treasury. Before accepting this position, Mr. Hanes took his portfolio of securities over to Mr. Morganthau and asked him to mark any which a Treasuryofficialsbould not own. The secretary of the Treasury did so and Mr. Hanes lost something like $500,000 in dispos. ing of these securities.- But, of course, this was not patriotism, it was love of the dollar! After leav ing the Treasury Department, Mr. Hanes received a letter from “ De ficit” Roosevelt beginning, “ Dear Johnnie," and praising Iiim tor his record oi good work ‘‘done at per sonal sacrifice fur which you should be honored,” yet simply because Mr. Hanes and Mr. Douglas think more of their country than they do the ambitions of any one man or family, the President slurs them with “their minds run more to dol lars than to hum anity.” Since “ Deficit” Roosevelt casts slurs on those who refuse to goose- step to Bis ambition for perpetua. tion in office, it is a fair question to ask bow many of Mr. Roosevelt’s associates and. appointees to office think more of dollars than human ity? If the President’s son Jimmy ever made a contribution to human ity, we have yet to hear about it. He now tells the press that look ing after bis investments occupies most of his time. From whence did these invest jients come? Read "Country Squire in the White House” by John T. Flynn, one of the country’s really outstanding lib erals. Mr. Flynn tells us that this young man’s earnings since 1933 , when his father entered the White House, have averaged more than $50,000 a year from enterprises in one way or another under obliga tion to or in fear of the federal government. Pretty good for a young man who flunked his exam inations at Harvard and spent only one year in law school. The Pres ident once said srmething about ,'gentlemen who sat in well stock ed clubs.’’ It might be noted that 32-year-old Jimmyi n ‘Who’s who,’ lists himself as a member of tbe Harvard Club, the Bankers Club of New York, the Jefferson Island Club, the Metropolitan Club, and the Burning Tree Club, the last, three of Washington. Did Mr. Roosevelt appoint James Cromwell, husband of Doris Duke, the richest girl in the world, as minister to Canada because of this playboy’s “interest in humanity?” Or did he give him this diplomatic post because his wife sweetened the Democratic kitty in the 1936 cam paign to the tqne of $50,000 . W hat about the heavy contributions ot playboy William C. Bullitt, ambas sador ro France, and, of course, the $53,700 the wife of Joseph Bid dle, Jr., gave to the Roosevelt cam. paign funds had nothing to do with his appointment as ambassador to Boland. Mr. Editor, I suppose that the leaders of the two political machines which smell the loudest, Mayor Kelly, of Chicago, ank Boss Hague of Tersey Citv, together with Jim. mie Hines, ex convict Tom Pender- gast and Ed Crump, of Memphis, are the only tnte lovers of human ity left. The Editor’s “Broad cast.” Fellow Americans:— Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue and its ardent defender, the G. 0 . P.. From boon doggling ways now let us turn and put our faith in the cause of Better Busi ness with Wendell L. Willkie. For seven long years we’ve languished in the New Deal Slough of Despond and watched this diocletian Jagan nath sweep across our land. W e’ve watched it slay six million little pigs, burn wheat, shoot cattle, aud then buy canned beef from the Ar gentine, plow under cotton, take hundreds of millions of acres out of cultivation and then buy ship-loads of food stuff from foreign lands, put men behind prison bars for re fusing to worship the Blue Eagle, pass, laws requiring farmers to stick stamps on their Irish potatoes, or go to jail. (The “ nine old men” —God bless their grap hairs—kick* ed that infernal law out the win dow); then we saw the New Deal ers loll back in their easy chairs while “sit down” strikers closed plants, defied the U. S. mails, and raised hell in general. On top of all this, we saw bond sales piled Ution bond sales piled upon bond sales till the National debt mount ed to 45 billion dollars, the interest on the national debt mount to one billion dollars annually, and taxes pilid upon taxes till the burden is crushing business. We saw tbe country drenched with “ repeal” licker and a standing army of ten million unemployed — and still we see a standing jarmv of ten million unemployed—and still we see a standing army ot ten million un employed. W ith the world ablaze with war and destruction, now is the time of all times to turn from political to. business leadership that will keep America out of Europe and Europe out of America. Theodore Roose velt used to say, “speak softly, but carry a big stick.” FDR Cham, berlain’s umbrella. May we say here that the arm ing of America must in itself be the first practical test of our ability to act as a united people. A political party that has literally wasted bil lions of dollars on boondoggling ex periments; in tbe past seven years, is totally unfit to be entrusted with the expenditure of the billions of dollars that must be used in the next four yea's for adequate de fense—the building, and building quickly, of ships, tanks, airplanes and guns. The peoole realize that the day of fighting with broom sticks and pitchforks is gone for. ever. We must have mechanized tanks, high speed airplanes, srrift boats. T hepeopleaiefedupw ith seeing their money poured into crawfish holes, by the New Deal, ers. They want to prepare, they must prepare, to defend their liber* ty in all it means—the right to wor. ship God as you please, the right to speak as you desire, the right to print as you wish, the right to your own home, safe from invasion by soldiers or spies; the right to live not regulated by bureaucrats, the right to exist under courts which will defend and interpret all .laws, under the Bill of Rights. The Republican Party stands for Preparedness, Peace and Prosper* ity. We have bad none' of them under the New Deal. Truly, Fel low Citizens, Wendell L Willkie is the Republican hope. He is far more. H e isth e American hope. And millions- will turn to him -in November to lead this beloved Na tion out of the chaos, blunders, bickering, squaudering of the peo ple’s money and racketeering of the people’s interests in the last eight years. Think of the multiplied billions Is The Third Term Dangerous. R. F. Beasley, editor of the Mon* roe Journal, says: If tbe third term was dangerous right up till now, will someone ex. plain why it is not still dangerous? The senators who lead tbe fight for the nomination of. Mr. Roose velt at Chicago including chair, man and keyuotor Barkley, and Senator Wagner, chairman of the committee which wrote tbe plat form, voted for that resolution in the senate who last week raised no voice against a third term in the Democratic convention. W hy have these senators changed? They have changed, fellow citizens, because a president seeking a third term is so powerful that they dare not re. sist him. And that also, fellow citizens, is the gist of the objection to a third term, a thing which few people seem able to see and understand. These senators should should remember the famous ap peal from Philip drunk to Philip sober. The contention that the people nominated Mr. Roosevelt is all moonshine. Mr. Roosevelt and bis ftiends nominated him, and the only Democrat in the convention big enough to cry out against a third term on the floor was Carter Glass of Virginia, 84 years old, and so feeble that he was easily howled down by the Roosevelt sbouters. Myself a party man, not for the sake of the party, but for the sake of democracy, I shall indulge In no villification of Mr. Wilkie nor of Mr. Roosevelt, and I hope the supporters of each will do likewise. I think the anti'third term prin ciple is sound and should not be violated. The Democratic party has thought it so sound that it has always been advocated and was ac tually put in the party platform in 1896 when it was feared that Cleve land might be a third terincandi date, which he had no idea of be ing. It was thought so sound that on Feb. 20 , 1928 , every Dem ocratic senator on the floor voted for the following resolution passed on that day by the senate of the United States: “That is the sense of the Senate the precedent established by Wash ington and other Presidents of tbe United States in retiring from the Presidential office after their second term has become, by universal con currence, a pait of our .- republican system of government, and that any departure from this time.honored custom wonld be unwise, unpatri otic and frought with peril to our free institutions ” BUYER MEETS CCI I CD IN OUR ADO C L L LlN COLUMNS.... of dollars that the New Deal has boondoggled away—a sum suffic ient to create an air fleet huge e- nough to darken tbe heavens as would a total eclipse of the sun—a sum that would provide enough ar my tanks to defy the very Devil and all his legions. This is water all gone over the wheel, but the circumstance should be a solemn re. minder that such squandering should cease, that ever leak be stop, ped, that every excessive salary be slashed, that every effort be put forth to cut red tape and Red ac. tivity from Helena to breakfast. To bring all this about, it is para mount to rally to the leadership of Wendell L. Willkie. So, Folks, let’s up and at ’em; get G O Plitera.' ture into the hands ot' all the voters.

Migrated To Indiana In 1816. Mrs, Queen Bess Kennen, of Farm ington. recently returned from a visit to relatives in her native state Indiana. While out there she gath ered much interesting information —historical facts, regarding h e r own people and the Sheek family. She tells tbe writer that she learned that one George Sheek and perhaps other Tar Heels went out to Indiana in wagons and hacks back in 1816. George bought a piece of land from the government in Bedford county and erected a five room house out of oak logs. Tbe property was located some distance out from any town oreity. Back then there were a number of Indians in that section of the coun try, and in the constructing the small house, Sheek built two front doors in order to be in position to protect himself and family in case the Indians should attem pt to visit and enter his place. The records ob tained by Mrs. Kennen indicated that most of the tribe out there at that time were friendly to the white people. Since, the early part of the former century, a village or town has been developed not far from tbe Sheek home and it being desired to open a park on the site of the historic bouse, the citizens decided to move the home to another place. In tearing it down, it was discovered that only five of thoBe oak logs had shown any sign of decay. They had the trees needed felled and cut in shape to re* to replace the logs discarded. In her search of the records. Mrs. Kennen obtained much interesting information relating to the large numbed of North Carolinians who migrated to that Western state. She was advised that at times when one family decided to “go West” other neighbors were persuaded to “ test their luck” in . that section of the country. She was told that there were times before and after the Civil W arwhenVlong rows” of covered wagons and hacks, loaded with peo* pie and household property, were to be seen on their way West. Some of the pec pie later returned to Caro- Iina in a few years, while others spent their remaining days and were laid to rest in Indiana soil.—Twin* City Sentinel. KWSPAPER ADVERTISING ATYOUR SERVICE IM tfIQ U Oor Solemn Obligation. It is not only too early to sound tbe call to all citizens that they are soon to exercise the most valuable right and solemn duty imposed on Americans by virtue of their citizen ship. That is to select which indivi duals and which party are to govern us for the next four years. To have to appeal to a man or woman to cast their votes fundamen tally wrong and abhorrent to our system of government is a non-tran* ferable personal obligation. Casting your vote for choice of government is a non-tranferable personal obliga tion. It is a serious responsibility that each voter owes to the United States and all of its citizens and only physical or mental incapacity excuses anyone from discharging it. The duty is more than visit a poll ing booth and mark crosses on a piece of paper. Bach voter is obli gated to seriously study what each party stands for and to evaluate the ability of each candidate from the viewpoint of which will be best for all the people of the United States and the. country as a whole. Sec tional differences, passion, prejudice or selfishness should never be allow- ed to interfere in the selection of our government. When election day comes in Nov ember, having arrived at a firm con viction, each voter guarding our na tional interests as he or she would their own, then step forward and expresses his or hnr opinion. To do less than this simple duty is to stand convicted of a moral crime against our own United States, its citizens, neighbors and friends, fami ly and the individual.—Wilkes Jour nal. God Bless America. And He has blessed our country > . but His benediction imposes up on each and every one of us the sa cred duty of defending every price less heritage that we have been granted. With so great a portion of humanity inured to calamity and iniustice, let each American silently consecrate himself and his conscience to the preservation of every Ameri can ideal . . . ideals that are more precious today than ever before. Yet, we still can have faith in man’s higher destiny even through nations, once the homes of great culture, crash back l'nta abject slav ery. There can still be hope though elsewhere fearful death-dealing ma chines are thrust into the hands of children, though churches are barri* caded, books destroyed, though mil lions of families are scattered to the four winds. These things have not happened here and with His continued aid and guidance, we will see that they shall not happen here. - Among His many graces showered ou us is the charter of American liberty. We are proud to be part of that first line of defense of Ameri can liberties . . . to always stand militantly at the side of every true American against the inroads of doc trines seeking to destroy freedom of speech, freedom of peaceful assem bly. freedom of religious worship and freedom of the press.—Ex. 52 Bushel Wheat To Acre. Newton—One of the best wheat yields every reported in Catawba county was made bv Frank Sher rill, prominent farmer of the O x. ' ford Ford section, this year. It is said that on a measured one and one-half acre tract of land, Mr. Sherrill harvested seventy- eight bushels of wheat This means that his yield would be fifty- two busbels to the acre. The Oxford farmer had a large crop of wheat and it is thought that his crop average will run a- round tbirty-eigbt bushel to the acre. He used Red Heart seed and paid four dollar per bushel for it, it' is stated. Jim b’arley is going into the base ball business. Some go fishing. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. W HO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) N EW YORK--Snapping the Unit- ed States liner, America, new queen of the American Merchant marine, through the Narrows, into o q u a ran tin eTraeSonofO ld antj S0 0n Yankee Breed to her dock, O f Shellbacks £ ap t. Giles Chester Sted- Jnan, master of the new leviathan, handled his ship as deftly as a lad would handle a toy. Indeed, in his various maneuverings of the 35,000- ton luxury liner on her maiden pas senger-carrying trip from Newport News, Va., Captain Stedman evinced sheer delight in putting his new charge through her paces. The 900 guests, United States senators, ship ping magnates and so forth, must have cast their thoughts back to days when amid mountainous waves and winds ranging from gale to hur ricane proportions, this young skip per—he is only 42 years old—per formed deeds of daring-do on the deep, deeds that have gained for him a gold medal from the Italian gov ernment; the United States navy cross; the silver life-saving plaque from the British admiralty; the Treasury department gold medal and other like testimonials of high courage and skilled seamanship. There was that tumultuous day in the mid-Atlantic, October 20, 1925, when the President Hard ing, of which Stedman was then chief officer, steamed to the res cue of the Italian freighter, Ig- nazio Florio, beaten down and sinking. Stedman stepped to one of the lifeboats and called for a volunteer crew. Every man jack of the distressed crew was saved. Two years later, westbound and about 1,575 miles from New York, the wireless operator brought Sted- man a message from the British freighter Exeter City. The craft had lost her captain, third officer and two seamen and was sinking. The seas were a veritable witchbroth, the wind shrieking at hurricane force. No possibili ty existed for the survival of a small boat in such a sea. So Stedman maneuvered his vessel sufficiently close to admit of a line being shot aboard the dis tressed freighter. With tackle thus rigged, a lifeboat was low ered from the American Mer chant and pulled to the sinking vessel and the crew saved. The seamanship involved was said to have represented one of the fin est exploits in American annals. Last September, commanding the United States liner Washing ton, Stedman rescued the entire crew of the British freighter Ol- ivergrove, torpedoed by U-boat. As a youngster, deciding upon a sea career, Stedman joined the Unit ed States Coastguard, where in the first World war he saw two years’ hazardous service in convoy work In the Mediterranean sea and Eng lish channel. When peace came, Stedman enrolled in the Massachu setts Institute of Technology for courses in marine engineering. He joined the United States Line in 1922, was made a chief officer in 1925 and at the age of 34 received his first command. ONE of the most hard-boiled citi zens this reporter ever knew was a bookish college dean who al ways spoke softly, but swung from . „ ' , , th e h e e l. ColonelPeckof Somewhat in M arines a Fall this picture is Bushel of Spank Col De Witt Peck of the U. S. Marines, who gives quiet em phasis to plain words in Shanghai, as the Japanese menace the for eign areas and tension increases. The Japanese seem to think they need■ an “incident,” and Colonel Peck isn’t at all likely to provide one—but he doesn’t back down. When he is in mufti or in formal dress, he is rarely with out a book in his pocket and never without his pipe. He may or may not read Bergson, but he “thinks like a man of action and acts like a man of thought.” He won the Victory Medal for Gallantry in'the World war bat tles of Bie Meuse-Argonne and St. Mihiel, and the Medal of the Purple Heart for doubling in negotiating and fighting in Latin- America.

FABNHAM(University ot Illinois College oi Agriculture.) Thinning hair is pretty hard to stop, but thinning pastures can be rejuvenated. Since the seedbed largely deter mines the success of a pasture, the. turf of old pastures should be sum mer-plowed and worked down sev eral times before reseeding in late August or early September. In some cases thorough disking wiU help if existing grasses and weeds won’t compete too much with the new seedings. Because continued pasturing or cropping reduces the content of calcium, phosphorus and other plant food materials, most old pastures need limestone and fertilizer. Need of limestone, which can be deter mined by an acidity test, usually shows up first. Limestone should be applied several months ahead of legume seedings so it will have time to sweeten the soil before seeding time. If the land is to be plowed, it is best to apply the limestone after plowing so it will sweeten the upper portion of the root system as well as the deeper soil areas. Lime stone does not move up in the soil but the solution goes downward. Lightly working manure into the soil before seeding pasture mixtures also gives them a boost in establish ing root and top growth. On steep slopes, it is best to do all the plowing and disking on the level contour. He recommends that any sod draws that have developed should be left undisturbed to form grass waterways. Pasture improvement, contour farming, seeding of legumes and applications of limestone constitute four of the five practices being stressed in 1940 to achieve more con servation of soil, water and human resources. The other practice is tree planting. Good Pasture for Hogs Will Reduce Pork Costs Good pasture for hogs is one way Af really cutting pork production costs, suggests A. L. Anderson, ani mal husbandry specialist at Iowa State college. Anderson points to the results of IS swine feeding demonstrations conducted on Iowa farms by Iowa State college in which pasture was used. Eight of these pastures were poor to fair in quality, largely of bluegrass. Ten of the pastures were good, consisting of alfalfa, red clo ver, and rape. The same rations were used on all pastures. The pigs on poor pas tures fed com and minerals made an average gain of .76 pound, while on good pastures the daily gain was 1.36 pounds, or two-thirds more. Good pasture is one of the best sources of easily digested protein. Rich in lime and phosphorus, the legumes provide minerals which are easily assimilated by young pigs. Ji Current Fencing Metiiods Follow Fanning Changes Contour farming, high-speed high ways and rotation grazing bring new problems in fence-building which are discussed and solved in a recent publication written by engineers of the U. S. department of agriculture. A “bending fence” that won’t “bend” over, when wires are stretched tightly, is needed where hills are farmed on the contour. Straight fences waste land under such conditions. Safe .entrances on high-speed high ways require proper choice of loca tion and special construction, the bulletin points out. Gates set back from the fence line avoid sharp turns with farm machinery, and en trances on level ground give a clear view up and down the road.

SUMMER SALADS (Recipes Below.) HousehoMNeujs Salads, in summer, are as impor tant as swimming or tennis, or golf! Nothing tastes quite so good as a cool, crisp mixture of fresh greens, or fruits, or vegetables, served with just the proper dressing. The very word is refreshing—like a drink of cold, sparkling spring water after a long and dusty hike. Very light salads may be served as an appetizer first course, if de sired. Dinner sal ads, too, are light; they may be served as a separate course, or with the main course of the meal. For lunch eon, salads may be somewhat heav ier, because the main luncheon dish is likely to be light. Many times, a limcheon salad is a whole meal in itself, served with hread or crisp rolls, a beverage, and dessert. And there are many times in informal luncheons and-dinners, when salads do duty for dessert. What makes a good salad? Plenty of crisp, fresh greens, a blend of fruits or vegetables or fish, a zesty dressing and a dash of color, say the experts. To make salads appe tizing and refreshing, as they should be, everything must be fresh, crisp, and well chilled. Greens are fresh ened in ice water for half an hour, well drained in a salad basket or bag, and left in the refrigerator to chill. To prepare head lettuce for salads, cut out the core or stem with a pointed knife, and let cold water from the _ _ faucet run into I F= this opening. The water forces the leaves apart and cleans them. Use other greens besides lettuce for garnishing salads, and in mixed green salads, as well. Watercress, tender inside leaves of raw spinach, endive, escarole and romaine are good for variety. Add cubed, leftover meats to green salad, for a hearty main dish. And for hot days, plan fruit salad plates for lunch or supper. Peeled oranges, sliced and served with fresh, whole berries, with let tuce, watercress or endive for a garnish, make an attractive and re freshing meal. Crab Apple Salads.

Lesson for August 25 , Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS LESSON TEXT—U Samuel 12:13. 14; Psalm 51:1-3. 9-13; 32:5.GOLDEN TEXT—Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.—James 5:16. If the Bible told us only of perfect people, we would recognize it as being not true to life and assuredly of no help to us who know our own sinful natures. The Bible, however, tells us in all truthfulness of the bad as well as the good, the weak as well as the sfrong, the humble as well as the mighty. It honestly portrays the sins of its greatest characters, revealing the heart of man as “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jer. 17:9). It tells us of a gra cious God (when man repents and forsakes his sin) who invites the sinner to come and be delivered from his sin. The lesson centers around David, the humble shepherd boy who be came king; and in the height of his .glory, being tempted of his own evil desires, fell into the lowest of sin, which he then sought to cover by a well-planned murder. He finds no peace until he repents and re turns to God. Three words sum marize the lesson. I. Sin (H Sam. 12:13, 14). That little three lettered word seems to have the hiss of the ser pent in it—sin—the cause of all man’s woes and the heartache of a loving God. David had tried to hide his sin and he said, “My bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me” (Ps. 32: 3, 4). “Be sure your sin will find you out” (Num. 32:23) is just as true today as it was in David’s time. The nature of sin is described in Psalm 51, and if we may anticipate a bit, we note that it is described by three words: “transgression,” meaning a rebellious “stepping over” God’s boundaries; "iniquity,” from the same root as our word “unequal,” meaning crookedness of heart and life; and “sin,” which means missing the mark, a life go ing the wrong way. Note that sin, while it may bring sorrow and trouble to us and those round about us, is “against the Lord” (v. 13 and Ps. 51:4). The sin ner must face and answer to God for his sin. Nathan’s straightforward dealing with David brought him to n . Repentance (Ps. 51:1-3, 9-13). What David expressed to Nathan —“I have sinned against the Lord” —is more fully expressed in the great psalm of penitence which we know as Psalm 51. Dr. Wilbur M. Smith well says that “probably these verses have brought more comfort, and assurance of forgiveness, and hope for a renewed' life after some terrible transgression, to a greater number of God’s children down through the ages than any other sin gle passage in the pages of the Old Testament.” To acknowledge one’s transgres sion before God is to open the flood gates of His mercy, to receive His grace in forgiveness, cleansing, res toration, new joy, and (note it well) renewed usefulness (v. 13). God does not cast His people off because of their sin, nor cut off their use fulness when they repent. Observe, however, that God did not permit David’s sin to go un punished. God is forgiving, bufeven repentance cannot wipe out the re sults of sin (n Sam. 12:14). God chastised David to declare before, the people all of His divine hatred of sin. To sin against God is no light and casual thing. It cuts deep ly into life, and only the grace of God is sufficient to bring a man up out of that pit. But there is m . Forgiveness (Ps. 32:5). How tender and sweet is that word —forgiveness. It speaks of the re moval of guilt, the breaking down of the barrier whicb sin has created, and the restoration of fellowship. Where all had been wrong and trou bled, all has become right and at peace. - These things are true even in the forgiveness of one man toward an other who has offended, but infinite ly greater when the heart of God meets the repentant sinner. He is so ready to meet such a, man that even while he is thinking of con fessing, God sees the attitude of his heart and forgives. “At this mo ment, without-sight or sound that mortal ear can tletect, or attitude that the eye of man can observe, even before the thing is said, when I make up my mind to confess, 'thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin’I Do you wonder that when this man was going to write a psalm about this matter, he had to begin, ‘O the blessings of transgression forgiven, and sin covered’?."

Campbell Morgan). < 3 7 2 7 DERFECT to put on and wear 1 right now in flat crepe, silk print or spun rayon, this beauti fully cut shirtwaist fashion will be a cool delight on the hottest days of summer.

Gay rose as he pulled back her chair. He cupped his hand beneath her elbow and they walked, circling tables where people, dining, glanced up as they passed, toward Bie arched door-way into the lobby. “Are your things ready?” he asked. “Do you need to go up to your room?" “Send a boy. I’ll check out,” “I’ll take care of that.” “No, John. Let me." "You’re my guest." “But, darling—” Her eyes fell from his face. “All right,” she said slowly. From the divan on which she sat she watched him cross the lobby to the desk, holding himself stiffly, his shoulders erect. Though she saw only his back in the dark tweed suit, she knew how his face looked, a little grim, the jaw line pro nounced, his dark eyes brooding. How silly of him. But how thought less of her, perhaps. She must be careful—She must remember— When he came back to her, a bell-boy followed with her luggage. John took her loose fur coat from the boy, held it, apologized for hur rying her, but avoided her glance. They went out through a revolving door. Cold wind struck them with unanticipated force. She was blown in a staggering half-circle. He caught her. They stood on the pavement in the light washing out from the hotel. Their eyes met. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I thought—” "You were right.” His eyes were penitent, his slow smile self-re proachful. “I was showing off. For give me.” Gay laughed as John approached the open door of the second-floor sitting-room in Dr. Sargeant’s home. Mary Adams’ voice continued, then broke off as John called in from the hall. “The last patient gone?” she asked, glancing up from needles that flashed through scarlet wool. “I’ve padlocked the office door.” He went to Gay, settled comforta bly in a corner of the davenport and dropped down beside her. “Mary, do you think that profes sional ethics would permit me to cut the telephone wires?” “I shouldn’t hesitate,” she re plied briskly, and stabbed an amber needle through the rolled length of knit wool. Mary folded her knitting and stabbed a needle through the bundle of wooL “There’ll be a greater pos sibility of Miss Graham’s liking me if I disappear tactfully now.” “Don’t run away, Mary.” Her small brown face twinkled. “You aren’t very convincing, John.” She rose from the chair beneath the lamp. “You can have breakfast anytime you like,” she said, smil ing at Gay. “John has his pretty early.” “I’ll have breakfast with John. .Will you call me?” “The children will probably at tend to that. You’ve made a terrific impression on my son, Nat. He’s a Eusceptible young man. Good-night” “Good-night, Mrs. Adams. And thank you.” “I do like her,” Gay said when Mary Adams had gone out and closed the door. “Mary’s very fine.” John dropped down on the davenport again. “She tells me that her husband is in Manila.” “Yes, for two years. Mary had a bad case of typhoid last summer and Dr. Sargeant thought it unwise for her to go with him. She’s not very strong and the tropics are en ervating. Those two kids are a handful.” “They’re darlings. I helped her put them to bed. I want two boys and two girls.” “Dp you?” His dark eyes were amused and tender. “Do you want children, Gay?” “I’ve never thought of It espe cially; but now, after seeing Skip- py and Nat, I’m sure I do.” “I’d be awfully jealous of them.” He drew her close to him. “I have to touch you to be sure you’re here. Downstairs in the office I couldn’t make myself believe it. But you are, aren’t you? This is—you." “Darlingl John!” “This afternoon,” he said after a moment, “when I came in and there wasn’t a letter from you, I was— I thought—” “What did you think?” “What I always think; that you’d forgotten me, changed your mind—" “Idiot!” She laughed softly. “I. couldn’t hold out any longer. Three days ago I flew from Palm Beach to New York.” ‘UTlew? Literally?" “Literally. What’s the matter?” ■he Mlurd in alarm. “You look—*' “You mustn’t go flying around in the heavens, Gay. That will be one more thing for me to worry about. Suppose something had hap pened—” ' “But nothing did happen. We reached New York safely and un eventfully.” “I like it here.” Her eyes moved around the warm conifortably-fur- nished room. “I like Mrs. Adams and Abbie and the children. How long may I stay?” “As long as you like. But—” He hesitated. “What, John?” “ I called Mother tonight. She’s expecting us in Rockland tomor row. I’m free for the afternoon and evening.” “But I can come back here with you tomorrow night?” “I think Mother will expect you to stay with her for a day or two.” “You—can’t?” “I can run out at night after office- hours and back early in the morn ing. It isn’t far.” His eyes searched her face. “You don’t mind, Gay?” “You’ve never told me,” she said hesitantly. “What does your moth er think of this—of us?” “She was surprised, of course,” he said guardedly. “But she’s got ten accustomed to the idea. Ebe loved your sending flowers for her birthday.” “Yes, she wrote me. I remember the date because I helped you buy a birthday present for her in New York.” “It was sweet of you to remem ber. She’s eager to meet you. My sisters, too. AndGranny. Granny’s all for romance.” “I don’t think I’ll feel strange with her. Your mother, I mean. She’s Uncle John’s sister.” He was silent. “Is she like Uncle John was, friendly and wise and amusing? I have imagined her being that way.” “Mother is rather reticent,” John said slowly. “She’s never gotten over my father’s death. And then her life hasn’t been easy. My fa-' ther died when I was twelve years old. He left very little. She made a great many sacrifices to send me to college and medical school. She worshiped my father. We, Sarah and Debby and I, have been her whole life since his death. You won’t be offended if she seems a lit tle—reserved?” There was silence for a moment. Then Gay said, “Can’t we spend tomorrow afternoon and evening with her and then come back here?” “I’m afraid she would be offend ed, but if you don’t want to go . . .” “I want to do what is courteous, but I’d rather be with you.” “I’ll come at night. If you were here I couldn’t be. with you during the day.” “But I like it here. It’s friendly and impersonal. With your fami ly—” She made a helpless gesture. “Oh, you know how it was in New York. We quarreled. People got in the way. We weren’t happy un less we were alone.” His bright pleading glance dark ened. “We can’t ignore Mother and my sisters.” She sat for a moment, silent, look ing down at her hands. Then she lifted her head. “I know. It’s go ing to be all right. Don’t look so despondent, darling.” “Of course it is.” His face bright ened. “You’re more adaptable than I am and the situation is less com plicated.” “I’m not timid about meeting peo ple, usually. There isn’t much of the shrinking violet in my tempera ment. How shall I act to make the proper impression?” “Just be yourself, Gay.” “With no—modifications?” Mis chief glinted in blue sparkles be tween her thick dark lashes. “Certainly not.”. His voice was in dignant. “You’re so sweet and gay and generous, really generous. Or perhaps I mean tolerant. More than I am—” “I haven’t much character. I can’t seem to get agitated about.most of the things that people think are im portant.” “That isn’t a lade of character. It’s poise, self-confidence, knowing what you want and how to get it.” “I know'what I want, but getting it isn’t so easy.” He dropped his head to kiss the soft hollow at the base of her throat “Mother will love you,” he said. “I hope so.” With her hands on his face she lifted his head. “But if she doesn’t, it isn’t especially im portant, is it? It doesn’t matter, does it? Does it, John?” His head dropped against her breast Her arms went around him, holding him dose. “No — No, darling,” he said. “Nothing matters except that you’re here,” CHAPTER XII Gay roused, opened her eyes, sat up in. the high-posted bed. A blast of air from the open window struck her like the stinging;needles of a shower. Sheslidbackintothewarm hoilow her body had made and pulled the covers up under her chin. But the blast of air had wakened her as effectively as though, literal ly, it had been an ice-cold shower. Her eyes were wide open, her senses alert. No hope of drowsing off into sleep again.She lay looking up at the ceiling where bars of sunlight striped the dim ivory-toned paper and minia ture rainbows, reflections from glass stoppers in scent bottles on the bu reau, moved quiveringly. The storm was over, then, the blizzard which John had predicted. He would be here tonight if the roads were cleared. But that would be—How many hours away? She glanced at her watch, then plunged her arm under the blan kets and quilts. She should get up immediately. Mrs. Houghton had told her to sleep as long as she liked. But there was no servant except the dour angular woman they called HuIdah and she didn’t want to make extra work. She must get up. The household was stirring. She heard footsteps along the hall, Debby’s lovely young voice raised in spirited discussion, ?1 “What did yon think?” the scrape of a shovel on the pave ment outside. Summoning all her courage, she threw back the covers, huddled her dressing-gown about her shoulders, slipped her feet into satin mules and dashed across the room to lower the window. If John were here, she wouldn’t mind. - Gay assembled fresh under wear and toilet articles in prepara tion for a dash to the bath-room. She Hadn’t anticipated being ma rooned here three days without him. She had anticipated none of the con tingencies which had arisen, nothing beyond seeing him, being with him again. He would come tonight, surely, and take her back into Port land. There was only today to get through. Feeling more cheerful, Sie opened the door, made a quick sur vey of the situation, then hurried along the hall and down two steps to the bath-room. When she returned to the bed room, partially dothed beneath her dressing-gown, she found Debby there. “Good-morning.” Debby turned from one of the front windows that over-looked the street She was a vivid, restless, appealing young thing, Gay thought, dark like John, with dark eyes and crisply curling dark hair, standing slender and straight in the dress of dull red wool, her hands in the pockets of the jacket. “Good-morning,” Gay said, smil ing. “You should have waited.” Deb by’s voice was lovely, low, with con tralto cadences, spirited, alive. “I meant to come in and lower the window.” Sie picked ; up Gay’s dressing-gown as it fell to the floor. “This is beautiful, but you must be frozen. And- that nightgown. Nothbig but satin and lace.” “I’ve never been in Maine in the winter before.” Gay opened the door of tiie wardrobe. “That’s obvious from the clothes. I brought, isn’t it?” she asked, laughing. “Wear this gray one.” - Debby stood' beside her; interested in the contents of the wardrobe. “It’s an gora, isn’t it?” Her slender, olive skinned hand touched the soft ma terial appreciatively. “That’s the warmest.” Gay took the dress from the hanger. “You’ll need it.” Debby went to perch in the deep sill of the window. “You can’t keep this old house warm. It’s as draughty as a barn and there aren’t enough radiators.” “It’s a marvelous house, Debby.” Gay’s head emerged through the neckline of the gray angora ,dress. “I should think you’d be Awfully proud of it.” Debby’s dark eyes flashed. “I hate it,” she said. “When I have a house of my own, there isn’t going to be one old thing in it.” . “You like modem furnishings rad decorations?” Gay drew on gray woolen stockings, laced gray suede oxfords, crossed the lacings around her ankles. “Do I!” “You’d be interested in my moth er’s apartment in New York. It’s modern.” “John told me. It’s a pent-house, isn’t it? I don’t suppose I’ll ever get to New York,” she added gloomily. “I can’t persuade Mother to go to Boston even.” “Would you like to live in Bos ton?" “I’d like to live anywhere but here. Portland would do. But you can’t pry Mother away.” “This is her home,” Gay said, interested in John’s younger sister, sympathizing with her restlessness, thinking how unlike John she was in temperament, though, physically, there was a resemblance. “I suppose it was fun to live here once,” Debby went on, sensing, Gay thought, her sympathy and interest. “A long time ago, I mean, when the men went on voyages and brought things bade from China and India. Sometimes the women went, too. My great-grandmother who I was named for did. I’d have liked that.” “But,” Debby continued regret fully, “as they say on the radio, ‘Time marches on.’ The place is a back-water, now, and no mistake. There’s no fun, except in summer. You can’t make Mother leave, though. She’s had plenty of chance*, to sell the house. We could get' enough for it, even in the condIr tion it’s in, to live comfortably some where. The summer people are all crazy about it, heaven knows why. John thinks—” She broke off with an apologetic laugh. “I certainly am running on. It’s fun to have' someone to talk to. You’re even better looking than your picture*. Gay.” “Thank you,” Gay turned from the mirror, smiling. “I used to watch for pictures of you after John went to your debu tante .party. They have the' swank magazines at the beauty-shop and Miss Sophie let me cut .them out to send to John. I thought he' liked you pretty well, then, and Uncle John told Mother—” A clock in the hall struck a series of strangling notes. Debby slid down from the sill. “It struck nine, didn’t it? Thea it’s half past eight and I’ve got to scram. I wish I could stay with you.”................ “I wish you could.** (TO BE CONTINUED) Explorer Sees Wealth In Antarctic Regions Vilhjalmur Stefansson1 noted A ro tic explorer, believes that the United States is wise to acquire territorial rights in the Antarctic. The vast “down under” continent, he said, may prove to be a valuable source of petroleum, radium and food and that in the near future it would become valuable for long* range weather forecasting. He said the value of the Antarctic could not be ascertained because no one could look into the future. “Who would have known a hun dred years ago that Canada some day would become an important source of radium? ” Stefansson asked. “Benjamin Franklin was a wise man, and he was smart enough to make a good-sized fortune. But he knew about petroleum in western Pennsylvania and, despite his wis dom, he could not conceive its com* mercial value.” He said moves by the United States to acquire Arctic regions might seem ridiculous at present, but that in the future the lands would be valuable. “.When we bought the Danish West Indies, now called the Virgin Is lands,” Stefansson said, “we gave Denmark all our rights in Green land. Now it is known that the territory which was ours in Greet* land was worth many times more than the Virgin islands.” He predicted that weather observa tions in Uie Antarctic would make it possible to determine weather cow -ditions in AusiraUa a year or tm in advance. FIR ST fA ID - to the A ILIN G H O U SE by Roa B IfVhitman (©Itoger B. Whitman—WNU Service.) Poor Chimney Draft. QUESTION: My sm okestack draws well when there is no wind, but does not work satisfactor ily on a windy day. The chimney has been lengthened so that it is well above the roof, but that did not help. The location of the house may have something to do with it. The house is in a valley between two hills, about 50 feet taller than the house. Both hills are about 200 feet from the house. I would appreciate your advice. Answer: The force of the wind coming down from the hills may cause a down-draft condition in the chimney. A type of revolving chim ney cap, made of sheet metal, with a vane on top may help. The vane will turn the open part of the cap away from the wind, minimizing the downward sweep of the wind from the hill. Any sheet metal shop will be able to supply it. Disintegrating Bricks. Question: The brick on my bunga low seems to be disintegrating. Many of them had scaled off to depths of from one-eighth to one- half inch. The builder claims that all brick is more or less affected this way by the frost. He says a clear waterproofing brushed on the wall will correct this condition. Do you think this will be adequate? Answer: A porous brick will ab sorb moisture, which during the winter may freeze, causing the brick to chip or scale off. Waterproofing the brick will most likely prevent the absorption. If the brick is very porous two coats may be necessary. Sawdust and Cement Mix. Question: I noticed in several rur al publications a reference made to a floor made of cement and saw dust. What are the advantages of such construction, and what is the formula? Answer: This form of cement mix ture is still in the experimental stages. The purpose is to obtain a concrete floor that may be some what wanner than ordinary concret* in barns and poultry houses. F ur ther information can be had by w rit ing to the Extension Service Bureau, University of New Hampshire, al Durham, N. H., for Circular No. 217. Bust Stain on Cement. Question: Please let me know how to remove rust stains from white cement on a terrace; caused by iron fumiture'Standing on it. Answer: Dissolve one part of so dium citrate in six parts of water. Mix thoroughly with six parts of commercial glycerine. Mix a por tion of this with enough powdered whiting to form a paste, then spread on the stain in a thick coat. When dry, replace with fresh paste. Sev eral applications may be necessary. Bedroom Ceiling. Question: I have the problem of bad ceilings in some bedrooms. The plasterer advised plastering on wire lath, then applying some kind of paper before painting. What is the reason for this? There is no wall paper on the walls now. Answer: The plasterer had in mind the application of “painter’s cloth” over the plaster. This is a strong fabric applied over plaster surfaces to prevent the cracks from showing through the paint. Separating Rooms. Question: My living room and din ing room adjoin with a wide space between the two rooms, so that they can be used as one, when desired. When privacy is temporarily de sired, is there any way the two rooms may be separated without destroying, the present lay-out? Answer: A set of folding doors can be installed, if the space is too wide for a pair of French doors. Your only other alternative would be to hang portieres. Leaking Leaders. Question: The outside leaders of my house are leaking very badly. Will this cause any damage to the house? How could they be replaced so I would not have trouble with them again? Answer: Leaking leaders should be replaced as soon as possible. A ltounce corrugated copper leader should give you long and satisfac tory service. Burst Boiler. Question: When we closed our house for-the winter last fall, water in the heater was not drawn off. This spring on lighting the fire, we found that the boiler had been cracked by the freezing of the water. Can this be repaired, or m ist I get a new heater? Answer: Boilers are built up of sections, any one of which can be replaced. Any plumber should be able to get new sections to replace those that are broken. It will not be necessary to get an entirely new heater; replacing the burst sections will be much less expensive. Tarnished Brass. Question: What can be done with old brass fireplace fittings and grate, which have become tarnished and darkened through the years? I would like to make it look bright Answer: The tarnish can be re moved by washing with ordinary vinegar in which has been dissolved as much salt as will be taken up, followed by rinsing with dear wa ter. Use any good brand of metal polish for polishing. Bemove traces of the polishing material by .wiping with benzine, (be careful of fire.) Apply a coat of clear lacquer. This will prevent the brass from tarnish ing.

The P rice o f lib e r ty . About 150 years ago a more or less obscure personage by the name of John Curran said: “ It is the common fate of the in dolent to see their rights become a prey to the active, the condition npon which God' hath given liber ty to man iseternal vigilance: which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of bis crime and the punishment of his gnilt ’’ France, Belgium, Holland and Norway relaxed their vigilance and today their liberties have gone with the wind. The treaty of Versailles provided for disarmament ot Germany and the nation was disarmed. The rightful custodians of the treaty were the nations bordering Ger many. It was their duty to make Germany live up to the provisions of the treaty. Seven years ago when Hitler began fortifying the Rhine the neighboring nations had the power to stop the building of fortifications, perhaps without blood shed. They could have stopped Germany from re-arming and conic bave pinched in the bud the prepa rations for what has become the world’s most disastrous war. Instead, of democracicies relaxed their vigilance. They went about their own way with little regard for the growing threat across the Rhine. They bave paid and will for many years continue to pay the price for' theb crime and their crime was re laxation of vigilance. Quoting from Curran's words 150 years ago we look upon France as an example: “servitude is .at once the conse quence.” “ The price of liberty is eternal vigilance ” We in America consider our lib erty as something which cannot be abolished. It is permanent only so long as we protect it with eternal vigilance and' without relaxation. France relaxed and lost. Let us not make the same mistake.—The Wilkes Journal. A d vertising T liat P ays. (The Asheville Citizen) The genus homo who doesn’t be lieve in advertising has practically disappeared from the business world in the face of evidence Ihat cannot be ignored. But the few of his type still left have yet to be convinced that tbe millions ot dollars spent an nually in the United States would not be investment barren of results. They close their eves to the fact that, the most successful business bouses in the country achieve their success by means of judicious ex penditures for printers’ ink, rising from comparatively small begin nings to tbe pinnacle of commer cial prosperity. Advertising when properly con ducted never fails to attain its goal. It pays big dividends when a sound article of fair value is placed on the market by truthful and honest methods. About 'a ll,; it must be regular and persistent, for the days of experimental of spasmodic ad vertising, have long since passed. No firm of any standing today “ tries” a few advertisements here and there, and then gives up in dis gust because the hit and miss method did not produce immediate results. Advertising stands today among tbe high a-ts; it is not a matter of speculation or chance. Tbis being tbe day of the specialist, trained writers are employed by the big mercantle hobses at unusually high salaries. Just as the modern phy sician is paid to ward off disease rather than to cure it, so does the exuert advertising man pilot his patrons through tbe waters of pro fitable advertising Land posters for sale aft Ths Raconi office. Wallace (Idaho) Miner. An inspired piece from one ef the New Deal propagandists says that “ Hoover was a complete failure.” So he was. He failed in a lot of things. H e failed to draw out his salary of $75,000 a year while he was President, turning it back into the Treasury. He. failed to have his sons organize insurance com pany firms to write insurance on government enterprises. H e built a Rapidan Tesort for fishing and re creation at his own expense and gave it to the government. None of his sons went racing through the divorce courts to tbe disillusionment of the public. He never bundled up a lot of government documents to sell as a book to the faithful at a huge profit to himself, and ha never sold himself into political sla very to a labor organization for a $500,000 campaign fund. He gath ered a marvelous collection of war stuff and built a museum for it, but failed to ask Congress to pay the bill—be paid it himself. He did not preach and promote class hatred and he did not try to pack the Supreme Court. He did not plow up every third row of cot ton and he did not promise the A- merican people one thing while at the very same moment doing, ev erything to accomplish the directly opposite result. He did not ask Congress to as sess tbe taxpayers $1,000 ,000,000 every time some one shot off a fire cracker in Europe, and he did not go on fishing trips on government warships accompanied by a fleet of destroyers. Neither did he kill off all the farmers’ little pigs or en courage the importation of Argeu tine beef. In fact there were a lot of foolish things that Hoover didn’t do that some other people bave done. There are a lot ot construc tive things he could have done if he had not had the opposition of a Democratic Congress, but anyway he did not leave the American peo ple $45,000 ,000,000 in debt. Mrs: Hoover never made speech, es or raced bither and you on un important matters. She never wrote silly drivel on her every day life and sold it to the newspapers, and she never sold soap over the radio. Her only public appearance was as an honorary member of the Girl Scouts of America. She never in vited Communist youth to the W hite House as her guests. The Hoover family seems to have made a failure of about everything that goes nowadays. P lain T alk. The following paragraphs appear ed in the last iBsue of the Newport Plain Talk: Boss Ed Crump says that he wouldn’t vote for Willkie even if he were tbe democratic nominee. Of course no one who knows Crump will believe that. He would vote for a Mississippi negro against any re publican if the former happened to carry the democratic label. About the meanest fellow we can conceive of is the hit run driver who will Bnuff out the life of some in* dividual and never stop to see what damage he has done. And our courts are only able to convict such persons of a manslaughter charge. When these crimes come under the head ing of first degree murder such peo ple will be more careful and there will be fewer accidents on the high way. It might not - be a good plan to change horses in the middle of tbe stream " but no one has been found who would particularly object to de serting a measly little old donkey for a big strong elephant when the de Iugre comes. BUYER M EETS C r I I r n in our ad O L L L L lX COlUMNS.... Is R elief U nnecessary? Manv well-fed and comfortable Americans, proud of their patriot, ism and boastful of this country as the land of opportunity, decry the expenditure of public funds for re lief work. One hears the assertion, occasion ally, that those on relief can se cure employment if they try to get it. The inference is that the relief expenditure is unnecessary, perpe tuated for political purposes and >n evil use of the taxpayers money. We realize that it is easy to find fault with the administration of any effort that touches millions of peo ple and involves the expenditure of millions of dollars. Undoubtedly, mistakes have been made. Indivi duals have taken advantage of the Government's concern for tbe wel fare of the unfortunate and deser ving men and women have not al ways received the assistance, that was planned for them ... These thoughts come to mind as we Tead of the death of a man in an other state, the father of six chil dren, a World W arveteran and 7 widower. Only 42 years old, he was found dead and police listed his death as a suicide. They said he was unemployed and in ill health. It is quite possible that the man about whom we write was improvi dent, shiftless and ignorant. He may bave contributed to his own ill- health a n d unemployment. Ap parently, he had taken care of his children up to the day when the hard struggle to live destroyed his desire for life. Statistics show that in 1932 , when we bad what economists would call a “ bad year,” the sni- cide rate was the highest between 1912 and 1937 . This high suicide rate occurred in the same year that the United States had the lowest death rate in thirty years. These figures, according to the well-fed, constitute a “coincidence.” They will assure you that there is no re lation between hard times, unem. ployment or lack of food, and sui cide.—Ex. R ed Spider Found In C otton Crop. Blessed with a virtual absence of boll weevils this season. North Caro lina cotton farmers bave now run in to the greatest invasion of red spid ers in years, reports J. 0 . Rowell, extension entomologist of State Col lege. Already damage has been wide spread and severe in many-of the Eastern coundies. Spider injury usually occurs from tbe middle of June until the middle of September, but considerable damage was re posted this year as early as June 1st. Rowell explained that in heavily infested fields the damage consists uf rusting and dropping of tbe leav es and sometimes complete defolia tion and death of tbe plants in af fected portions of tbe field. The presence of the pest is first evidence by the appearance of red dish spots on the upper surface of the leaves. As the attack increases, the leaves become rusty brown, curl, and finally drop. Thisinjuryresults because the insect extracts juice from the plant leaves. Where red spiders have gained en trance into cotton fields, control can be secured through the use of sev eral applications of dusting surphnr. ThiB material should be apolied to the underside of the leaves with any convenient rotary-type hand. duster or machine duster that can be re gulated to direct the dust on the under surface of the leaves. From 10 to 12 pounds of dust are required per acre of application. Two treat ments at weekly intervals are usual ly sufficient to wipe out tbe insects. When heavy, beaten rains occur within 24 hours after an application has been made, the treatment should be repeated as soon as the weathor permits.

W ar V eteran s For W illkie. Harrv W. Colmery. former nation al commander of the American Le gion, Representative James E. Van Zandt, three times national com mander of the Cook County (Illinois) Council of the American Legion, a ^gw days ago confered with Chair man Joseph W. Martin. Jr., regard ing organization of veterans to elect Wendell Willkie as President and Senator Charles L, McNary as Vice- President. The group explained to Chairman Martin that a group of 20 leaders of veteran groups had met in Chicago over the week-end and organized th; “ Willkie War Verterans National Committe.” with Mr. Colmery as na tional chairman and Mr, McGinnis as national director. The veterans’ committee will make its headquart ers in Chicago. Mr. Colmery, who was American Legion National commander two years ago, asserted that the Willkie Veterans’ Committee included lead ers of all four major veterans orga nizations. He explained that this committee would not be affiliated with anv political party but as an in dependent organization would work solely for the election of the Willkie- McNary ticket, He said the group had as its objective the enlistment of all veterans, irrespective of race, creed or politics, behind the Willkie candidacy. This is the first time in twenty years that war veterans have had an opportunity to vote for a real 'war veteran,” Colmery asserten, point ing out that Wendell Willkie served with the A. E. F. in the artillery. Mr. Colmery’s added: “ Wendell Willkie knows war and, like tbe rest of us. wants not more of it for his country or for his coun try or for himself—but,-if war comes to us, it will be comforting to know that we have in the White House, as Commander-in Chief of the Army and Navy, a man who was an officer in the last World.War Grim Irony. The Rockville (Ind.) Republican: It iB rather grim irony on the part of some one who recalled that a plank of the Democratic convention in Chicago in 1896, When William Jen nings Bryan was first nominated, de clared against a third term for anv man” though the question was not up for discussion then. The plank read: “ We declare it to be the un written law. of this republic, espe ciaily by custom and usage of iOO years. Bnd sanctioned by the exam ples of the greatest and wisest of those who founded and have main tained our government, that no man should be eligible for a third term ef the presidential office,” Yet pro bably 90 per cent of the delegates to the 1940 convention'wore determin ed to nominate Franklin D, Roose velt for a third term!

Former President Herbert Hoov er is so certain that Wendell W ill kie will win the Presidency this fal that he went to Colorado Springs, resting place of the -Republican no- mineee to tell him so. A tthesam e Elliott Roosevelt, son of tbe Presi dent, wished Willkfe “ good luck" in bis campaign. The President’s son stopped off at CoIarado Springs while on bis waV, with Mts Roosevelt, to a fishing trip in Wyoming, to talk tbe Republican nominee. While young Roosevelt was packing his bags to leave, Willkie strode out to say good bye. Mr. Roosevelt’s son, asked by the Republican nominee what size trout he expected to catch, held up two fingers about three inches a* part. That gesture has been used by the President before embarking on a fishing expedition. After a talk with Elliott, Will kie had dinner Sunday night with Mr. Hoover and Gen Hugh John son, former NRA administi ator and supporter of tbe Republican nomi nee Willkie said Mr. Hoover had assured him that his support was growing and had predicted that his support was growing and had pre dicted that he would be elected. He said be had “very pleasant” conservertions with the former Pre sident both Sunday night and at breakfast Monday morning. D raft B ill fo Becom e E ffectiv e A bout Sept.

RU"""' E ! w o K e v s t o a c a b i n B Y LIDA LAR CHAPTER XII—Continned —18— “But since I took extra courses at High this year practically over Mother’s dead body, I have to stick at them.” Debby walked reluctant ly toward the door. “She wanted me to go to college.” “Why didn’t you want to go?1 Gay asked. ’ “If you dislike it here—” Debby glanced away, a flush stain ing her olive cheeks. “I’m talking too much, I guess.” She turned, came back to Gay, threw her arms around her. “I think you’re love ly,” she said in a rush of impulsive words. “I don’t know quite how Jolm managed it—you—but I’m glad he did. Don’t you listen to anything anybody says, not that they’ll say much but—” “What do you mean, Debby?1 Gay asked, puzzled. But Debby did not explain. ‘Tve got to go,” she mumbled, not look ing at Gay, and went running out of the room. RIMORE© MACRAE SMITH CO. WKU SERVICE r “You shouldn’t have gone to extra trouble for me, Mrs. Houghton,” Gay said, as John’s mother came into the living-room with a tray. “It’s no extra trouble.” Ann Houghton arranged dishes on the small table before the open fire in the living-room. “It’s warmer here than in the dining-room.” John’s mother smiled faintly. Her 6 kin was dark like John’s and Deb- by’s. Her dark eyes, deeply set under straight dark brows, were as somber as John’s were when he was troubled. She held her taller than average figure erect but rath er, Gay thought, because some in domitable purpose, through a suc cession of years, had stiffened her spine, than because she realized or gave a thought to the decorative value of a fine carriage. Her hair was lovely, dark with only a sprin kling of gray. It waved back from her forehead and temples, softening the bony contours of her face. Prop erly dressed and with the stiffness relaxed she would have the distinc tion Uncle John had had. Gay won dered if she had ever had his warmth and humor, if she ever laughed aloud. “The fire is pleasant.” Gay poured coffee into a thin porcelain cup with a red sea-weed pattern. “I had no idea it could be so cold here in March.” “We’re accustomed to the cold.” Ann Houghton, seated in a wing- chair at the opposite side of the hearth, took a length of knitting from a bag hanging on the arm of the chair. She was never idle, Gay had observed in the two days she had spent in John’s home. Her housekeeping was a ritual meticu lously performed. In those mo ments, as now, when she was not en gaged in some active task, her long hands with prominent knuckles and nails, nicely shaped but unmani cured, were busy with knitting or sewing. “It’s healthy but not very comfortable, especially since you’ve just come from Florida.” “I don’t mind at all,” Gay said quickly. “Can’t we go for a walk?” “I’m afraid I can’t spare the time,” John’s mother said in the cool deliberate tone which held Gay at an impassable distance. “But you go, if you like. Only you must wear Debby’s moccasins.” Her glance fell to Gay’s sturdy but dain tily fashioned oxfords. “It’s so easy to get your toes frosted. I shouldn’t want you to suffer from chilblains the rest of your life.” “You would probably enjoy a walk,” John’s mother said after an interval of silence during which the needles had clicked and Gay had de terminedly finished her breakfast. “It’s dull for you while Sarah and Debby are in school. If we had known you were coming, we might have arranged something entertain ing, though everybody has been storm-bound during the past two days.” "It was inconsiderate of me to have brought a blizzard. Coming almost directly from Florida, I should have done better.” Ann Houghton’s faint smile was her only acknowledgment of the pleasantry. “I don’t, ordinarily, encourage gaiety during the week,” she went on. “This is Sarah’s first year of teaching in the high school. Sie is naturally eager to make a favorable impression and she isn’t very strong.” Sarah looked strong enough, Gay thought, though a little subdued and. unhappy. No, not actively unhappy, resigned. A little gaiety, the thought continued, would do Sarah more good than her mother’s persistent coddling. Still that was Sarah’s concern—and her mother’s. “It’s pleasant just to be here,” Gay said. She pushed her chair bade from the table, slipped her hand into the pocket that contained her cigarette case, reconsidered. “I’ve enjoyed my breakfast." Ann Houghton folded the knitting into the bag, rose briskly from the wing-chair with, Gay thought, an appearance of relief. She took a tray from the window sill and began to clear the small table from which Gay had eaten her breakfast. “Let me help you.” Gay, too, rose, stood watching Ann Houghton’s competent movements. “No, thank you. I know just where everything goes.” Ann Houghton’s voice was gracious but chillingly re served. “Amuse yourself if you can with our limited resources. I sup pose that John will come tonight.” “He said he hoped to when he called last night.” Ann Houghton glanced at the win dow through which sunlight streamed in dazzlingly across a frosting of snow on the sill. I hope he won’t attempt it Un less the roads are clear.” She turned to place the vase containing the ivy and geranium on the mantel above the fireplace. Was she going to tell her that John wasn't strong? Gay wondered. As though anything, other than an emergency call would keep him from coming now that the storm was over. ‘John is accustomed to icy roads, I suppose,” she said, a faint note of exasperation in her voice. “He drives all winter.” Ann Houghton took up the tray. “It’s foolish of me to worry," she said, “but when his work isn’t in volved, I don’t like him to take un necessary risks. Will you go for a walk now or wait until the sun is warmer? I do the upstairs work on Friday while Huldah is cleaning downstairs. It’s tiresome for you to be exposed to all the household ma chinery but when there are only two of us to keep the wheels turning we must observe routine. I try to spare Sarah, and Debby hasn’t a natural bent toward housework, I’m afraid.' “Let me help you,” Gay urged, smiling, ashamed of the exaspera tion her voice had revealed. “I haven’t a natural bent for house work, either, but I can learn.1 Again Ann Houghton smiled faint ly. “You’re far too decorative, my dear, to—” “To be useful?” “—to be expected to be useful,” Ann Houghton finished smoothly. “Besides, it’s cold upstairs. No, you stay here by the fire until it’s warm enough for a walk. Have you an interesting book? There are maga zines on the table.” “I’ll amuse myself.” The warmth and friendliness faded out of Gay’s voice. Sie walked to a table against the wall and picked up a magazine. John's mother went out of the room. Gay returned to the hearth, dropped into a chair, sat with the magazine unopened on her lap. Ann Houghton resented her, she thought. It was obvious, though no reference had been made to it, that she was opposed to John’s marrying her. That was a little ironical. Mothers of eligible sons had courted her persistently since she was seven teen, that toothy dowager in Eng land, the Swiss countess who was a patroness of the school she had attended, mothers in New York and Palm Beach and Southampton. She was relieved when her engagement to Todd had put an end to that form of pursuit. It didn’t matter, except just now, when she was here—except that she felt, or imagined she felt, a dif ference in John. The afternoon he had brought her here, at dinner, later in the evening, she had felt Ann Houghton’s influence working a change in John. It was nothing she coidd define, a feeling that he was seeing her through her moth er’s eyes, weighing her words, her gestures, her reactions to the family life familiar to him by some scale of values which his mother supplied. A feeling— She had imagined it, perhaps. But when he came tonight, would she feel the same tension and strain? There was no change in Ann Houghton’s manner toward her. Would John—? But this brooding was morbid. She needed to get out of the house. The sun was shining and the sky was clear and blue. She wanted to explore the town where John had lived as a child, a boy, when he bad spent his summers during the period that he had been in college and medical school. She would ask for Debby’s moccasins, since that seemed to be important. The maga zine slid to the floor as she rose from the chair. Climbing the stairs, she heard no sound on the upper floor, but as she walked Mong the hall, she caught a glimpse through the open door of John’s room of Ann Houghton’s brown skirt and dark red cardigan sweater. She paused in the hall outside the door, meaning to ask for Debby’s moccasins and to teU Mrs. Houghton that she was going to take a walk. The words,. forming on her lips, were checked there. The position of Ann Houghton’s figure held her motionless, silent. She stood with her back to the door, the palms of her hands pressed flat against the wall, looking at a long framed pan el between the windows. Her shoul ders sagged. Every line of her body, usually erect, drooped in some momentarily acknowledged defeat. As Gay watched, her head bent slowly forward until it touched the panel against the waff. Gay drew back out of sight and called her name. The reply, when • it came, was controlled, free from any hint of emotion. Ann Hough ton’s shoulders were erect. She turned from adjusting a fold of the crisp white curtain at the window to glance with an inquiring expres sion and a faint smile toward the door. “If you can tell me where Deb by’s moccasins are,” she said, her own voice controlled with effort, “I think I’ll go out now.” “They’re in her wardrobe, I think. I’ll get them. Debby’s wardrobe Jobn’s mother smiled faintly. always resembles the spot that the cyclone hit. You’ll need heavy socks, too.” As John’s mother passed her, walking out into the hall, Gay glanced back into the room. The panel, as she had remembered, framed photographs of John taken at various ages. She followed his mother’s straight back and briskly tapping heels feeling a curious sense of pity mingled with resentment, ex asperation, fear. CHAPTER S m The clock on the mantel, flanked by Chinese vases and branching clumps of corM, struck the half hour. John’s grandmother, Abigail Houghton, broke off an account of some early misdemeanor of John’s and turned her bright quizzicM glance toward the sofa where Gay and Debby sat beside the fire-place in which a cannel-coal fire in a pol ished grate burned with blue and orange flames. “You children will take your death when you go out,” she said, “bundled into all that wool and fur, hot as it is in here.” “Might as well come clean, Gran ny,” Debby laughed. “You’ve got a date and you want us to go.” The spare little woman in black silk with lace at her wrists and throat, chuckled as though she found her granddaughter’s remark extremely entertaining. “The Reverend Henry Longfellow Blake and his wife are coming for supper,” she said. “I must give Hannah a hand. She’ll leave the sherry out of the pudding if I’m not there to see that it goes in." “But should you put sherry in the minister’s pudding?” Debby asked. “It makes for a more sociable evening. I notice he Mways stops berating me for not going to church after he’s had his dessert.” She grasped the arms of her chair and rose to a standing position. A cane with a crooked gold handle fell to the floor. “You can’t expect an old woman whp hobbles around on a stick to go to church,” she added as Debby put the cane in her hand. “But you go to the movies, Gran ny.” •"Which has °»t escaped 4 » .Rey- erend Henry’s attention.” Abigail Houghton’s sherry-colored eyes twin kled in her russet face touched with color on the cheek-bones. She turned to Gay who came to her across the priceless Chinese oriental rug which covered the floor of the small par lor from wall to wMl. “I’m glad you came to see me,” she said. “Ga- briella. That’s a pretty name. A relief from our Deborahs and'Abi gails and Anns. French, isn’t it?” .“French originally, I suppose. My grandmother was Gabriella Lyons. She arrived in New York by way of New Orleans. They call me Gay.” “And quite rightly so, too, I ex pect.” Gay took the small veined hand John’s grandmother extended, looked down into her friendly eyes beneath neat scallops of waved white hair. “You must come to see me when the minister isn’t. I’ll make a pudding for you.” Tm afraid there won’t be time this trip. I’m going into Portland with John tomorrow.” ‘Oh, Gay! Are you?” Debby wailed. “You’re making us a very short visit.” Gay was conscious of the quizzical expression that narrowed the old lady’s eyes. Yes,” she said. “I’m sorry.” She was sorry here, in this small warm house, cluttered with curios, but bright and cheerful. Looking down into Abigail Houghton’s face, wrin kled softly like a russet apple which has lain too long in a basket, she thought she knew how she had looked a girl. She’d had reddish hair, she thought, with those eyes and— “What are you thinking, my dear?” “I was thinking how you must have looked when you were a girl,” Gay said, a little disconcerted, con scious that she had been staring. ‘Did you—Do you mind if I ask— . Did you have freckles?” The old lady laughed. “Hundreds of them. And red hair. I was very plain. It’s been a cross all my life.” “Applesauce, Granny! You know you snatched Grandfather from one of the most famous beauties in the state of Maine.” “And a good thing for him that I did.” Her eyes lifted across Gay’s shoulder to the painting, which hung above the mantel, of a blue-eyed gentleman with curling brown hair and side-burns, wearing a brass-but toned blue coat. “She had an un pleasant disposition.” Her eyes re turned to meet Gay’s gently smiling glance. “John must bring you to see me often. When is the wedding to be?” The question was unexpected. It had not been asked before. Nei ther John’s mother or his sisters had referred to the subject of marriage. Strange that she felt an odd reluctance to make a reply— “I don’t know,” she said evenly but with quickened breathing. “John — You know—” “Yes, I know.” The old lady’s voice was impatient. “But there’s a way around anything if you’re smart enough to find it. I met my husband at a Fourth of July picnic and we were married the first of August Neither of us ever regretted i t At least I know I didn’t and if he did he was too much of a gentleman to tell me.” (TOBECOffTlNVED) Forest Service Workers Get ‘On-the-Job’ Training _ The United States Forest service is training employees through “ex perience clinics,” “on-the-job” train ing, and “planned experience.” Such training provides a short cut to information and experience. Workers on the service roll are listed under more than 30 different types of skilled labor and 17 pro fessions. They are scattered over about one-thirteenth of the United States land area. Skflled workers engaged in forestry operations include fire guards, pack ers, buU-dozer operators, powder men, road locators, radio operators, telephone linemen, and clericM workers. The professionM classifica tions include such positions as ad ministrators, foresters, engineers, range examiners, silviculturists, ac countants, economjgts, ecologists, chemists, and airplane pilots. Peter Keplinger, forest service framing chief, report# that officers who spend some time in training employees, such as that given in fire-control schools, may expect the workers to accomplish more during the remainder of the year because of the short cuts and improved meth ods learned. He points out that many employees in some of the low- er-pay positions take greater inter- est in their work when they under- . stand its vMue to the public and its use in saving time for other service worker*.

PARTON {Consolidated Features—'WNU Service.) M a r sh a ll e . d im o ck , now slated, according to report, for appointment to the National Labor Relations board, got along famously „ n- , with both fac- MaTshall Dimocfc M ay Serve on Labor Board tions of labor until last win ter when he, together with Oscar Chapman, assistant secretary of the interior and Norman Littell1 assistant attorney general, started to organize that convention of lib erals to be held in Salt Lake City. The project perished as the conse quence, so at least it is said, of a statement by John L. Lewis that the convocation had for one of its primary objects the formulation of plans to assist in the launching of a third-term boom. Since then suspi cion has been entertained that the symbol, two crossed fingers, has not accurately suggested the relation* ship between the two men. WblIe still a professor at the University of Chicago, Oinock was appointed consultant to the national resources commission. Then Secretary of Labor Fran ces Perkins retained him to sur vey the procedure of the immi gration and naturalization serv ice and afterward named him as her second assistant secre tary with full authority over that agency. It was a post that had been vacant for two years as a result of the appointment of Ar thur J. AItmeyer as a member of the social security board. Here Dimock served with efficien cy until last July when he was trans ferred to the department of justice following removal of the immigra tion and naturalization service from the labor department. If he goes to the NLRB he will succeed J. War ren Madden, the chairman whose five-year term of office expires the latter part of this month. And, if he does receive the appointment, it. is not certain he will be named chairman, although the possibility exists. In various outgivings designed to acquaint both labor and busi ness with his theory that there was no quick route to social sta bilization Dimock has often spo ken with tolerance and cogency, but with firmness as well. As for instance; “Business must ac cept a new order in a period of administrative growth and ex perimentation.” He was speak ing, among other things", of the Wagner act and the fair labor standards act. Growing pains he regards as an inevitable re sult of so much new legislation in recent years. “They will di minish,” he has said, “as ad ministrators gain more experi ence.” NEW YORK.—Current interest in Dr. Gerhardt Alois Westrick, noted German supreme court law yer, relates to the secrecy cover- _ _ ing his move-Secrecy Covers ments rather Afotfemenfs of than his pres- GermanLawyer fTnc:f ^theUnited States, which, indeed, was generally known in business and government circles. His arrival in this country from Germany via Russia to California, thence to New York, last February was duly noted, as was that of his wife and two sonsr aged eight and six, a fortnight ago. His visit, he said at the time, involved a special mission deal ing with post-war economic ad justments. The fact that, as a lawyer, he has represented the interests of many American firms in Germany supplied plausibility to the reason ad vanced for his presence here. But an element of mystery de veloped as a result of his where abouts after arriving In New York. He lived in various ho tels, and finally established head quarters at the Waldorf-Astoria. Here with a secretary, the hand some Baroness Irmingard von Wagenheim, taking messages and receiving telephone calls, the doctor himself was rarely in evidence. Inquiries as to where he might be found elicited vague response. Eventually he was discovered as tenant of an attractive residence in Westchester where at this writing he has not been available to callers. A man of fine physique, 51 years old, gray hair and penetrating green eyes, he is a law partner in Berlin of Dr. Heinrich Albert who was active, in this country as a German propa gandist before the United States en tered the World war in 1917. Ac credited in the state department’s diplomatic list as a commercial counselor to the German embassy, it is asserted that at least part, if not all, of his mission here relates to the interests of Joachim von Rib- bentrop, foreign minister of the Reich, with whom he has been close ly associated for many years.

It all started w hen a Los A n g e les d e p a rtm e n t s to re persuaded ten prom inent m en a b o u t to w n to s e t ta b le s as each thought they should be set. O akie and B ancroft saw the exhibit, and the argument was on, each being perfectly sure that he could out-do the other if ever —heaven forbid—he had to set a ta ble. First thing they knew, they’d arranged the contest; the only rules are that they’ll use modern Ameri- VIVlAN LEIGH can glassware and keep expendi tures “down to $40. The loser will set a table and serve dinner for 16 of the winner’s friends. Vivian Leigh and Laurence Oliv ier are to be co-starred in a story based on the romance of Lord Nel son and Lady Hamilton, an Alex ander Korda picture. Remember ing what a superb picture he made of “Henry the Eighth,” it seems certain that his version of the fa mous love story of the famous ad miral will be one of the year’s best pictures. Phyllis Kennedy ought to succeed if anybody should—first she broke her back, and later she accepted ad vice that wasn’t very good and lost a grand opportunity—and now she’s started toward the top again. In 1933 she was dancing with a troupe in Denver, and fen and frac tured her spine. Doctors said she’d never walk again. Two years later she was dancing once more. She was engaged for chorus work in the Astaire-Rogers musicals, and her gift for comedy got her the role of the maid In "Stage Door.” Warner Brothers offered her a contract, but she hesitated, let people tell her what to do, and the chance slipped away. She’s working now in “Honey moon for Three,” and Lloyd Bacon, who’s directing, is helping by build ing up her role. Watch her—she’s bound to get ahead this time! Douglas Fairbanks Jr. may have been something of a playboy some years ago, but now he’s nothing if not a solid citizen. Married happi ly, and the proud father of a three- year-old daughter, he’s not only the star of Columbia’s "Before I Die,” but its co-producer as well. That means being on the set early and late, whether he’s appearing before the cameras or not. The girls of Hollywood are wear ing red, white and blue these days. Penny Singleton appeared at a bene fit in a cotton evening gown hav ing a white skirt and a bodice that was red and blue; Anita Louise, told to wear a novelty necklace in “I’m for Rent,” chose a silver chain from which were suspended miniature flags of the 23 American countries; Evelyn Keyes has a red, white and blue straw hat, and Frances Robin son’s leather handbag has a flag on either side. Uncle Ezra’s Rosedale Silver Cor net Band rehearses longer than the actors on that popular radio pro gram, just to achieve those peculiar off-key effects that drive music lov ers mad. The reason the band has to rehearse so long to sound so dis cordant is that each man is an ac complished musician; “We work harder than Toscanini,” declared Director Bruce Kamman, “Just to perfect a musical mistake!” Paramount’s going to do right handsomely by Joel McCrea—he’s been assigned to the lead in “Bot any Bay,” a story by James Nor man Hall, one of the authors of “Mutiny on the Bounty.” “Bottom Bay” is one of those high ly dramatic tales, laid in the period just after the American Revolution. Jean Hersholt’s dream of years, a Hollywood home for aged and. in capacitated film workers, is soon to be a reality. As president of the Motion Picture Relief fund, he and members of the organization’s ex ecutive committee will soon begin looking for a site for the home. They have more than a half million dollars, earned by the stars who do nated their services to the CBS Screen Guild program so that the -noney could go into the fund.

Digging a Cellar. QUESTION: I intend digging a cel- Iar under the kitchen. The bungalow is supported by eight con crete piers. The plot is near a lake and composed entirely of sand. Would you suggest concrete block or poured concrete? Would the caving in of the sand be too much of a haz ard? Do you think the cellar would be too damp to use? Would like in formation on the easiest and cheap est way of doing this. Answer: My preference is for a poured concrete cellar. If there is any danger of the sand “caving in," the sides should be shored up. with boards. As to dampness in the cel lar, much will depend on the quality of the concrete and the drainage qualities of the soil. The Portland Cement association, Chicago, 111., can furnish you with printed m atter on this subject. Removing Wallpaper. Question: I should like to have your formula for removing old wall paper. Answer: Old wallpaper can be re moved by a thorough soaking with warm water to soften and free the paste. A handful of washing soda to the gallon of warm water may quicken the action. Be careful not to splash the solution on painted or finished woodwork, as it will de stroy the finish. Do not let it run down on the floor. When the paper loosens, tear it off, starting fr6m the top. With the paper off, while the wall is still damp, sponge it with clear, warm water. After dry ing, sandpaper the wall lightly to remove bits of paper and hard ened paste. Cracked Plasterboard Joints. Question: The ceilings of my six- room, one-story house are plaster board, The paper on them cracks at every joint between the boards, How can this be avoided? Answer: One side of the ceiling is exposed to the warmth of the house and the other to the chill of the attic, which' results in swelling and shrinking. Also, with the ceilings chilled by the low temperature in the attic, there will be condensa tion against them from moisture in the house air. Under this condition no kind of filling in the joints will .be permanent. Your best move will be to cover the joints with thin strips of wood, nailed through to the supporting beams and papered with the ceilings. Fireplace Tile. Question: My fireplace is faced with brick-colored tiles that are not handsome. Could I cover them with marbleized linoleum and blacken the tiles of the floor? Answer: Wall linoleum can be ap plied to tile, but I do not think that the effect would be particularly good. It would be better to bear with the tiles for a while until you are able to replace them with tiles that are more attractive, or with slabs of real marble. If the floor tiles are glossy, the color cannot be changed. If they are dull, you can blacken them with nigrosine dye, to be had at a paint store, or with black ink. Leaking Terraces. Question: How can I take care of flagstone terraces that are leaking? Is there any such thing as a water proof transparent paint that can be used by applying three or four coats, and doing it each year? Answer: AU cracked mortar joints should be raked out and repointed. A porous stone or mortar joint can be treated with two or more coats of a transparent waterproofing. A poorly mixed mortar, however, might be difficult to waterproof. It may even be necessary to repoint all the joints. Bungalow Plans. Question: I understand you send out blue prints, at a small cost, to readers of your papers. I have in mind a bungalow 31 feet by 33 feet; four rooms, bath and front porch. WiU appreciate any information you can send me. Answer: I am sorry, but I do not furnish this kind of service. The Superintendent of Documents at Washington has a booklet of “Farm house Plans” which may be helpful to you. Write for Farmers’ BuUe- tin 1738. The price of the booklet is 10 cents in coin. Water Heater Piping. Question: I would like to move the hot water storage tank from the kitchen to the cellar; to be con nected with the tank water heater and the furnace. Is there a book I' can buy, which wiU teU me how to make these connections? Answer: Manufacturers of water heaters publish data on the proper way of making connections between the storage tank and the heater. I am sure the firm whose heater you are using wiU furnish the necessary data. Sweating Tank. Question: In the bathroom of my country home there is water on the floor most of the time, due to the. flush tank sweating. The water com ing out of the weU is usuaUy about 60 degrees. Can I insulate the tank to stop this dripping? .Answer: A wooden box lined with some form of insulation, made to enclose the tank on aU exposed sides, is one way of overcoming this condition. Warm ■ moist air must be kept from coming.in ttentact with the cold surface of tne tank. WHEN YOU PLAN A PICNIC FOR A CROWD (Recipes Below.) 9 Community picnics are fun I They offer an opportunity for a carefree day under the open sky—carefree for even the chairman in charge of affairs, if she’s planned her program weU and chosen her helpers wisely. If the crowd to be served is a really large one, it’s a good idea to have one com mittee member responsible for each main dish such as meat, po tatoes, salad, des sert, and bever age, and one responsible for extras such as buns, butter, relishes, etc. There’ll be a serving committee and a clean-up committee, as weU. Picnics for four or five families are usually co-operative affairs. Each family may supply its own lunch, but more often each one pro vides one item in large enough quan tities to serve the crowd. One fam ily might provide the salad, one the meat, and still another family the dessert, which might be watermel on, a luscious chocolate cake, or a freezer full of old fashioned ice cream. With a little planning, the cost can be fairly equally distrib uted. When an outing is in the offing and it’s up to you to plan the menu for a crowd, you’ll find these picnic pointers helpful. 1. If lunch is being prepared at home, choose foods that permit be forehand preparation, and that are not too difficult to carry or to serve. 2. Provide a fairly simple meal, with plenty of everything but not so Th variety that it will cause con- fusion and lots of extra work. 3. Unless you are sure of a good water supply, it’s better to carry the water from home. 4. Carry fruit juices, tomato juice or milk in thermos bottles. 5. The main dish for the picnic— which might be chili, baked beans, or escalloped potatoes, can be cooked the day before, then in the Djorning brought to the boiling point, and the dutch oven or casserole wrapped in several thicknesses of newspaper to retain the heat. 6. Don’t overlook the possibilities in frozen foods for picnic use. Quick- frozen meats can be carried, with out ice, even on a warm day. They thaw out on the way to the picnic ground and will be ready to use. You’ll find other picnic pointers in my cook book, “Easy Entertain ing.” There are menus and tested recipes for beach parties, hikes and a “Colorado beefsteak fry.” When you write to me, won’t you tell me something about the “com munity meals” your group has served? Do you serve dinners for the church, for business men’s organizations or for the farm bu reau, perhaps? How many peo ple do you serve at meals like this, and what are your favorite menus? I’ll be waiting to hear from you! Eleanor Howe is going to give you, next week, some of her fa vorite recipes for cool, refresh ing summer beverages, and dain ty cookies to serve with them.

PRAISING GOD FOR HIS BLESSINGS LESSON TEXT—Psalm 103:1-5, 10-18. GOLDEN TEXT—Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not aU his benefits.— Fsalm 103:2. We live in difficult and confusing days with much on every hand to dis courage us. We look about us in vain for any encouraging sign. The result is that unless we exercise care the temptation will overtake us who are Christians to fall into the bitter, complaining attitude of the world, forgetting the benefits which God has bestowed upon us, forget ting His mercy and grace, and, in this hour of trial, telling the world by our life, if not by our lips, that we have lost our faith in God. It is easy to praise God when all goes well, when we see His bless ing upon us; but the Christian should recognize that praise is a vital part of his daily fellowship with God, an expression of his apprecia tion of all that God is and does for him. Psalm 103 has in all genera tions been a favorite of Ciuristian people when passing through deep waters and fiery trials. I. Praise for Personal Blessings (w . 1-5). Our relationship to God is a per sonal one, and His blessings are per sonal. Praise also is a personal soul exercise to which we need often to stir ourselves. We need to call on “all that is within” us to bless and praise the Lord. “Forget n»t”—how prone we are to do that very thing. We remem ber the things we ought to forget and forget the things we ought to remember. We have become so ac customed to the many blessings of God that we accept them as a mat ter of course. Note that the chief of all bless ings is the forgiveness of sin (v. 3). The spiritual is far more important than the physical, but that too is in cluded. Only God can heal our dis eases, whether by means or by di rect intervention. He also meets with true satisfaction every right and normal desire of man, whether it be physical, social, mental or spiritual. That calls for praise from the depths of our beings, U. Praise for Forgiveness of Sin (vv. 10-14). We may “put on a front” when we deal with our fellow men, but there is no use in thus trying to fool God. 1 He knows us for what we are—“frail children of dust, and feeble as frail.” We are not able to meet our own little problems; how can we do anything with the sin question? The mercy of God, high as the heavens, is revealed nowhere in such overflowing measure as in His dealing with the sins of “them that fear him” (v. 13). For them He has the pity of a father, but He has more, for He has the authority and power to cast our sins as far from us as the east is from the west, and how far that is no one knows. Observe that His mercy is only for “them that fear Him.” “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble” (James 4:6, I Pet. 5:6, 7). Whosoever will may come and receive of Him abundant pardon. Why not come now? In. Praise for Everlasting Loving kindness (w . 15-18). Man and everything that man makes or does is transient, and will one day pass away. What a ’fool that man is who lives only for the things of this world which are des tined to wither like the grass! How tragic to come into eternity and to face God empty handed and con demned for one’s own selfishness and folly, when He is willing to show unto us that “loving-kindness” which is not only for this life, but also for the Iffe that is to come. As we praise God for this great and blessed gift, shall we not be moved to go out and seek to win others to Him? In closing this brief study of the One Hundred Third Psalm may we again suggest that in these bitter days which so sorely try the hearts of men, we lift our souls up to a high spiritual plane by praising God. When Hardley Page was mak ing a flight through the Orient a large rat was attracted by the smell of food and entered into the air plane. Later, when Mt. Page was in mid-air over a mountainous coun try where he could not land, he sud denly heard the sound of gnawing behind him. He knew that the rat might so damage his plane as to cause disaster. Then he remem bered that a rat is not made for high altitudes. So he began to soar. Soon the gnawing ceased and hours later when his machine landed he found the rat lying dead beneath the engine. It is a blessed truth that Satan cannot endure the high alti tudes of praise. He quickly departs from the soul whom he finds re joicing in this high and lofty spir itual atmosphere. ’“Try praise,” for “praise changes things.” HCW-1Q SEW Ruth W yedi Spears <±3 $ W ASTE SPACE Ba RED AND7 t WHITE TICKIN6 ON ASHADE ROLLER' ZIPPER LAUNDRY BAC HANGS UNDER SHELP UnVERY Homemaker knows how ■*-' many steps could be saved if table linens could have a special closet in the kitchen or pantry.
