Since we are in war. and things are going to be rationed, it seems, more and more, and perhaps many hardships yet unknown may come upon us as individuals and as a na. tion, shall we pray or complain? Ths fact is it is easier to complain than pray, but wbish shall mean the most? Which shall pay us the best? We should consider tbis, as times are indeed serious. Complaining will get tis nowhere toward the goal of victory, but praying will. God still hears and answers prayer. He regards no tody's complaint, bit everybody who humbly and sincerely prays, trusts God, loves and serves Him, can gel an answer, or help to pray the right way upon the tbrone and wrong upon the footstool This is certainly no time for com­ plaining, even if sin and wicked ness has caused the world to be plunged into the greatest war of all history, but it is bigb time to pray. Tf America would set apart a time for fasting and praying, re­ penting and seeking God’s mercy and pardon, we befieve that victory would come to us immediately, and perhaps millions of lives and souls would be saved. When we see our sons leaving for the training camps and the bat tie fronts, and prices are soaring, and taxes are very high, and debts are piling upon tbe nation by bil­ lions and billions of dollars, and the enemy seems determined to rule us if possible, it is one of the eas­ iest things in tbe world to fall into a spirit of complaint. We should guard ag inst it with all -our will power, and by tbe grace of God, then pray God to help us. When hardships come, as in war, or many other ways, many people fret, worry, complain, curse and bamean others for it all, but tbis only makes bad matters worse. No one can make wrong right by do­ ing wrong. We have to overcome evil with good. God knows how to do this far better than we do, therefore in every crisis people should sincerely pray. Wars are stopped and the right triumps thru prayer. Men and women, boys and girls, let’s pray. Don’t complain, but pray, pray. Try God and see what He will do. God is the source of all power that triumphs. Carolina Blackouts Handled By Army Now Official announcement has been made by the State Office of Civilian Defense that North\ Carolina has been certified as ready for a sur­prise blackout. This is the first state in the fourth corps area to be so certified, and Director Ben E. Douglas is very proud of it. The certification mean simply that from now on the blackout tests will be handled by the first fighter command, and not by the state civilian defense organization. TOR '/T tU fl Y fA R S From A'Davie Boy Hello Mr. Strond:—How are you, and how are all uy good friends-a- round Mocksville? I meant to write to you earlier, but that seems to be about the hardest thing for me to do. I have been in the Hospital since Wednesday, and they still have me Confined to tbe bed. I bad a sore throat, and I think I bad the Au. We are treated swell in an Army Hospital, but it seems to me that they keep ns here too long after we get well. I think the election results were swell. I am glad to see our party coming back into power. It looks like tbe 18 19 year old boys will soon be in here with us. They can be trained into some of the best soldiers we have Boys can leain more at that age than at any other age. I do think they should be given the right of a man, before they are inducted. Gosh, it seems that there are a lot of boys around there yet, who registered when I did. I can’t figure why a lot of the boys I know aren’t in tbe army. I see the same thing every­ where I go. Bovs in civilian cloth­ ing hurt tbejmorale of soldiers more than-anything else. I believe^I forgot to tell where I am I am at Camp Carson, Colo. This is a beautiful section. It isn’t but 30 miles to Pikes Peak, but it doesn’t look near tbat far I have my wife with me now, and that makes me a lot happier. I expect to come home on furlough about the 4th of December, but anything can happen in here. Well, I will close, wishing you the best of luck, bealtb, and hap­ piness. Hoping to be in Davie soon. Your friend, KERMIT SMITH. Byrd Says Federal W aste Is Reckless Washington — Chairman Harry F. Byrd (D) Va., the joint congres­ sional economy committee charged the federal government is wasting millions of dollars and ' seriously endangering the war effort by 'recklessly" employing vast num bers of unnecessary workers. Nothing tbe almost 3,000,000 em­ ployees in Federal Civil Service, Byrd asserted in a prepared state­ ment that at least one-third of this number could “be dismissed” with­ out harming the operation of war agencies. In fact, be said, their dismissal would/ actually aid tbe war effort. Assailing "waste and inefficien­ cy” in the government, He declared that federal officials can not rea sonably expect the American peo people to co operate in a satisfac­ tory man power program when the government itself is guilty of fail- ing to make full utilization of all its resources. Byrd, chairman of the joint con­ gressional committee on reduction nonessen'ial federal expenditures, said he will present a formal report to the Senate on the facts uncover­ ed by his investigators. He reported tfca on August 31 there were 2,606,300 civil service employees, and that the number bad risen considerably since then, as tbe government is hiring work* ers at the rate of at least too,000 a month.. He and his committee "will shortly start hearings to tell tbe people the whole truth with respect to duplicated activities, overman ning of practically every agency- of the government, and the useless employees tbat are carried on the pay roll of these agencies.” BUY WAR BONDS S.mAM3NA8 % Q[ IV H l dOJ.

Gandhi may be a fossil in many ways but he is strictly up-to-date in one respect: He doesn’t wear cuffs on his pants. Some of the New Dealers seem to think that democracy means giving everybody a job on tbe public pay rolls. FDR promised to bring down the cost of living, but about all that has gone down so far has been those American vessels torpedoed by foreign submarines.

Dear Sir:—lust a line or two to let you know my new address way down in the Sunr.y South, the state of Florida.. I arrived here Sunday morning at 5 o’clock, and will be here for some itme taking Commando train ing on water and land.

Pvt. DAVID KOONTZ, SWAT THE JAPS WITH SCRAP. High C*st of Living (By Tbe Sentinel Laureate) Cost of living sure is awful Everything gone out of sight! We assert it is anlawful, We maintain it isn’t right And the farmers sav it’s rotten. Way things cost sure mak’m sore So they boost the price of cotton Up another cent .or more. Milkmen, butchers, egg producers, AU say they are badly bit, And they all have good excuses To Boost prices up a bit. Labor strikes for higher wages, Workmen ask for biggei pay; Sa tbe living costs, in stages, Climb on upwards, day by day. 'Vicious circle"—stings like acid! Each tries hard to pass tbe buck! And ii you too, cannot pass it, Then you sure are out of luck! Havoc On The Farm The editor of the Sandhill Citizen surely is living close to the farmer from what he bas to say: Nowhere has war caused more ha- voc tban in agriculture. Almost no new farm machinery is available. Repair parts for existing machinery are always difficult and sometimes impossible to obtain. The cost of evetytbing the farmer most buy is at record levels Worst pro* blems of all is the farm labor situa­ tion. Tbe draft bas taken many farm workers. And the farmer simp- ply can’t afford to pay shipyard wages for held—with the result that tens of thousands of workers have left tbe rural areas to fipd high- priced jobs in war industry. Tbis. in part, is the farmer’s an­ swer to those who think tbe increase in farm prices means thBt all is we(| down on the farm. Tbe plain truth is that most.farmers are wondering how they will be able to keep in business—and to effect the increases in production tbe government wants- Thesituation is particularly ser­ ious in the dairv field, where skilled and permanent help is absolutely necessary. In many states, milk ia public utility, and its price is fixed by regulatory bodies. Vast quanti* ties of dairy cattle are being sold for beef, because farmers can’t obtain the necessary labor. It is time city dwellers understood some of the grave problems Xarmers face. lie b r B ) BUY WAR BONDS Seen Along Main Stieet By The Street Rambler. 000000 Misses Charlene Clontz and Nel- Mae Beck shopping around on ry evening—Young man enter, taining young ladies in front of department store—Salesladies tak­ ing time off for refreshments—Miss Kathryn Ward weighing candy T.

Jeff is to be chief engineer for a newly organized fruit company. They » riw In Tierra Eibre to find both Zora and her husband dead, and Jeff sus< peets Ihty were murdered. Converse* tiont with Us employer, Senor Montaya, and with his friends Jerry McInnisf BiD Henderson and Slats Monahan confirm his suspicions that there Is something, strange going on and that Mitchell and Zora were killed because they knew too mnch. Now on a tour of inspection with Montaya he is troubled by the apparent* Iy unfriendly attitude of .Henderson and Monahan. A talk with Monahan reveals that he, too, suspects something is wrong. NOW CONTINUE WITH THE STOBT CHAPTER VII The trip down river to Tempujo Was a quick one, running with the current. In the car going back to San AIejo they stopped but once— at the culvert and cribbing on which Henderson’s crew was still at work. Ciirt had to talk with Henderson, get.! behind that reserve he’d met with yesterday, learn some facts he could get his teeth into. Getting warnings was no good unless you knew what they were aimed against. But he needed a reason tor stop­ ping, for the senor was reluctant. Curt told Montaya he wasn’t satis­ fied'. about the size of culvert being installed. "It wouldn’t take too much strain to !wash out that fill," he pointed out. “Better to be safe than sorry.” “Mr. Mitchell passed on the size,” the senor remarked. "And I have respect for his judg-, ment,” Curt answered. “Neverthe­ less, on work for which I’m re­ sponsible, I take no one’s word un­ til I’m satisfied myself.” Curt clambered down the steep embankment to examine the con­ crete pipe. He squatted on his heels, Henderson beside him, to make jot­ tings in his little notebook. He meas­ ured the flume and hammered on It. An act for “The Dark Lily,” for they were not many feet from Montaya. By lowering their heads they could speak in tones that wouldn’t carry to the man above. Cart wasted no time: “You put a note in my bag yesterday?” "Yes, Curt. Look, Curt, I’ve got to have a long talk with you. But not here and now, not in front of Montaya.” •.‘We’ll manage it soon. BiH, Slats Monahan tells me Mitch was wor­ried for days before his murder. That right?” “Well-1, yes, Curt, he was.” “What about?” “I—uh, don’t know. He didn’t let me in on it.” Henderson’s voice had gone flat, lifeless. Curt considered, tried again. “Why was he in a dither about getting to the Zone?” Henderson looked startled. “He wasn’t,” the lanky man said slowly. “He only . . . I know a fel­ low there, name of Collins, comes from my home town, and Mitch . . . oh;; hell, Curt,” Henderson let go disgustedly, “this’s why I want to­ tal]?, to you, to tell you just enough to keep you from messing around about Mitch’s murder. I know you from way back when something dirty pops up. “Anyway, what’s done is done and it’s .'no. skin off your nose. You keep out of it and I'll give you some dam’ good reasons why, soon’s we can have a talk. You leave it to me. I know what to do and how to do it, and there’s nobody waiting for me with a candle in the win­ dow.” "It’s no skin off my nose,” Curt growled, “unless whatever did for Mitch is a danger to me by taking over his job.” “It won’t be if you watch your­ self—”Montaya’- feet, above, crunched on crushed rock as he tested a foot­ hold for the easiest descent. Curt rocked back on his heels, made another note in his little book, then rose and climbed the embank­ ment. Montaya was patently an­ noyed but got into the car without a word.Curt, his foot on the running board, called down to Henderson. *3 y the way, Bill, try to get up to San Alejo this week-end. Come to dinner Saturday night and meet the kids.”Montaya regained his suavity in a few minutes and began to talk of the work in-general and plans fdr the morrow. “You have yet to go over the rest of the tract before getting down to work. I should like you to cover it tomorrow and the next day. Unfor­ tunately, I shall not be free.” “It’s a lot of territory,” Curt said thoughtfully. “Would you use a plane? Is there a place to land on the flats?”“No,” was the snap answer to this. “It will be fatiguing but you can do it by mule. The main drain­ age canal will take you one full day, and there you can use an out­ board motorboat. You can catcb the rest on the second day. “That will bring you to Friday, no? Friday and Saturday you can study what you have seen, then we can get together — say Sunday? There is so much to be done, no tome to lose"."“Sunday will do very well." "I am giving you a—ah, a sort of Mcret&ry - bodyguard,” Montaya went on, carefully. “But you must not be alarmed. I simply do not want anything to happen to you, Mr. Curtis, that is all. Engineers with your background in this work we do not find—you say?—growing on bushes.” Curt waited. "The man’s name is Emilio Var­ gas. Tomorrow he will report to you. It is my wish that he.go every­ where With you when you are out on the job. Everywhere. Please, Mt. Curtis, observe this closely. You will find him a competent stenogra­ pher and quite helpful in relieving you of minor'details.” Curt pondered. A bodyguard for himself! That seemed to hint at danger to the Chief Engineer. Dan­ ger with its roots in business rival­ ry? Danger, as he’d thought briefly last night, from a personal enemy of Montaya, striking through an im­ portant subordinate? That would be a subtle sort of vengeance. In the morning Emilio Vargas re­ ported at Curt’s office. He was a 9 Cmt lound Emilio a good guide. slick looking hombre, with sharp features, olive-tinted skin, snapping eyes. He had pointed teeth, and perfumed pomade glued his black hair flat to his skull. A revolver, a fancy chased affair in a holster that had seen service, hung at his side. FronT-Ius mouth drooped one of the native, sickly-sweet, brown-jacketed cigarettes. Curt found Emilio a good guide and untiring in the saddle. Fur­ thermore, the young man was as good at taking dictation—in Eng­ lish—as Montaya had said. So he was an asset. He was also com­ pany—of a sort. In the two days allotted to it, Curt completed his inspection of the en­ gineering work throughout the tract. On the drainage job he met two more old-timers he’d known when with Associated. They were cut off from contact and hadn’t heard of Zora Mitchell’s death until Curt spoke of it. However, Emilio was close at hand and there was no dis­ cussion to be had with either Steve Harvey or Herb Lawson aside from shop talk. Friday morning he settled down in his office to a study of maps and progress reports, hydrographic charts, and various data of his own, hoarded from his tour of work north of the Negro a few years ago. Much of it applied here. ' By noon on Saturday he was ready to start dictating memoranda to Emilio. This took three hours, dur­ ing every minute of which the na­ tive smoked his brown cigarettes. Loosely packed, they burned fast, ash flew about at the slightest breath of air. He ran through two. pack­ages of them in this time, and Curt marveled that the man was able to work with his right eye constantly screwed against the smoke which curled up. First impressions, suggestions, questions of the work at last on pa­per and out of the way, Curt phoned Montaya for an appointment early on Sunday, then went home. It was his first breathing space since arriving six days ago. He played with the children for two hours. Curt took .quickly toj Zora Mitchell's small daughter. The' shyness of her- first few days' had .worn off in the lively company of Buddy and Chuck, and her loneli­ ness for her mother was gradually fading. Lee had seen to that. t When it came time for the chil­ dren’s supper, Lee broke up the play in' brisk fashion. Sh'e sent Curt to the shower, took charge of the' children, and by the time Curt had had his bath and a cocktail, and was stretched out on the bed for a few minutes of relaxation before dressing, the youngsters were out of the way for the night. Dinner time approached. This was the night Bill Henderson would be in for dinner. And that talk! Curt was thinking, as he blew smoke rings ceilingward. H fdm ake the 4t .SERVICE mug talk! But how to do it with­ out Lee wising up? Thought of Lee was his Nemesis. She came breezing into the room, shooed him off the bed, made him dress. "We’ll give Bill Henderson one hour, no more,” said she firmly, lay­ ing out a print dress. “I’ve planned dinner so. Unless he’s changed . “Wrong this time, honey,” Cuft said'cheerfully. He tucked a clean sport shirt inside his fresh white ducks. “Tell you what, I’U bet you the evening at the clubhouse that Bill gets here in one piece and sober. I’ll even dance with you without an argument.” Lee snapped him up on that. “It’s a bet and I’ll hold you to it, Master­mind, see if I don’t! I can get Ihes to stay this evening, in case the kids wake up.” She whipped up the print dress, put it back, and pushed hangers back and forth. “Let’s see, something to dance in . . . ” • She selected a pastel organdie and Curt found himself pressed into service, to fasten the rhinestone shoulder buckles. The hour passed and Bill Hender­ son hadn’t arrived. Curt becamfe gradually quieter during that time, fiddling unconsciously with his pipe. Lee knew the signs, knew he was puzzled and disturbed. She ragged him some about giving her the eve­ ning so glibly, and made a show of getting out his coat and panama— “Just to be ready.” But they sat down to dinner alone.The meal was not yet over when the phone rang. Lee answered.“For you, dear,” she said, one hand over the transmitter. Her nose wrinkled as at a bad odor. “ ‘The Dark Lily.’ And you’re not to go back to the office tonight, you hear- me?. You lost fair and square, and it’s my evening. We’re going to the club!” Curt frowned as he took the re­ ceiver from her. Montaya’s words were crisp and direct. “I have just been told from Tem- pujo that Mr. Henderson has had an accident. He is unconscious and sinking rapidly. As you are an oW friend—” “I’ll be right along. You’re going, of course? Can we use a plane?” “Sorry, we have no lights at the Tempujo field for night landing. You can get to the’station in five min­ utes, no? Bueno. Dr. Berry has been notified—” "I'll be there!” ", Curt sprinted to the bedroom and returned buckling on his gun belt. He grabbed up his coat and hat, gave Lee a flying kiss and explained on the way to ,the door. ' “Henderson. Accident. Tempujo. Be back when-I get here.” Besides the mestizo driver in the car that clanked down the mountain­ side, there was Montaya, spotless as usual from fresh white shoes to pan­ ama; Dr. Berry, the American head of the hospital; a young burnt-blond fellow named Lister, carrying cam­ era, flash, tripod and finally, Curt Montaya was saying: “It would appear he was drunk , . . you .know his failing, Mr. Curtis. So long as he did his job I had no objection, but this ; . There had been a brief rain to­ night, clearing the atmosphere. Though the airfield was a full kilo­ meter away, grinding around a curve Curt saw plainly the lighted swimming pool and could make out .tiny figures diving. Two more hu­ man ants were at tennis on the bright court. Very little was said during the run to Tempujo, which took scarce­ ly thirty minutes. On the lower bad­ ly ballasted stretches the car rocked dangerously. Young Lister chewed gum incessantly, vigorously: Mon­ taya smoked his oversize Turkish cigarettes, lighting one from moth­ er—he was on- his third as they hit the many switches of the storage yards. Dr. Berry dozed. Henderson was stretched out on an examination table in the dispen­ sary, in charge of Dr. Fisher, a newly graduated interne from the States. Dr. Fisher’s chief duties at Tempujo had been dishing out qui­ nine or bandaging minor hurts of the laboring force, and. the present case seemed- to be beyond him. But so was it beyond his superior Dr. Berry straightened up after an examination of ohly a few seconds, to shake his head. “Hopeless,” he said bluntly. "Both legs broken, and several- ribs—at least five or six; a blow cm the back of. the head that has probably fractured the skull; the chest caved in, one lung punctured. It’s a woi> der he wasn’t killed instantly—oi that h£’s lived this long.” Bill Henderson was still alive, though unconscious, and frothing pink at the mouth in his wracking efforts to breathe. He’d lost a great deal of blood. Young Fisher kept swabbing the lips dean with gauze. “He can’t last more than a few minutes at most.” Still about Henderson was the smell of raw whiskey. Curt'* thoughts were bitter. He’d seen so many men — good men, clean oi heart—lose out here in the tropic* because of drink. Now, Bill Hen­ derson. And only a few days age Bill had said he’d been on the wag­ on for some time. To be sure, "some time” with him might not mean, what it 'would to another, but would he have gone to drinking to­ night, when expected for dinner at San Alejo? That wasn't like the OM BilL (TO BE CONTINUED/ Wa A S E i U E S O F S P E C I A L A R T I C L E S B Y T H E L E A D I N G W A ft C O R R E S P O N D E N T S Chile Sitting on the Fence By Waldo Prank (WtlUFe&tute—Through special arttagemeni with CoHiPt Weekly) There are nearly 80,000 pro-Nazi Germans in Chile; 30,000 are Ger­ man nationals; 50,000 are Chilean citizens of Qerman descent whc have been hypnotized, despite their democratic antecedents, by the vie tories of the fuehrer.. There is a drama : here. To see It and Chile’s importance within the Pan-American picture, we must have a sense of the Chilean people. The Chilean is half mariner, half mountaineer. He lives in a land whose ,geography a famous Chilean writer has called “insane.” Chile is 2,000 miles long and about 100 miles wide, shaped like an earth­ worm. One side of it is sea, the other ice and rock. In square miles, it is larger than France, but a bare ten per cent of its soil is cultivable, the rest being desert, mountain and poor sheep pasture. That’s not the worst of it. Chile is the land of earthquakes. EveryiChilean remem­ bers “his earthquake.” He may be fifty, and the frightful experience may have shaken his body when he was six, but his soul cannot forget. Havoe of an Earthquake. I visited Concepcion, the country’s third city, where, only three years ago, a quake in 90 seconds destroyed thousands of lives and shattered hundreds of houses. The ruins are there still—the cathedral, the dwell­ ings, the commercial structures; and on and about them Concepcion moves, disorganized and dazed; like a city bombed by an enemy which the people cannot have the satis­ faction of hating. AU this has made the Chileans slow, reticent, stubborn, intellectual­ ly matter-of-fact; a people of depth and will, rather than surface sensi­ bility and color; a long-suffering folk whose noble music is almost buried in their hearts, as different from their charming and brilliant neighbors across the Andes as their rocky land is different from the Pampa. Chile Advanced Politically. Politically, Chile is the most ad- vanced nation of South America. Its industrial workers are all unionized, every Chilean belongs to a political party, and the elections are honest. The two largest parties are the Radicals (corresponding to the Lib­ erals-in this country) and the Con­ servatives (like our die-hard Repub­ licans). Socialists and Communists are highly respected, important minorities with representatives in the ministry and congress. Yet this sturdy, conscious folk (with the ex­ ception of Uruguay, the most homo­ geneous in all South America)' re­mains economically poor and ex­ ploited. So hard has been the life of the Chilean worker, so hard the soil, so uncertain even the survival of his home when his earth quakes, that when he gets a bit of money, he doesn’t — like the American — buy goods; he buys rest. Poor food, ragged clothes, a hovel of a house, he has got used to. What he wants is a week off, with plenty of wine to remove him from his troubles. The average labor-year of the fully employed, skilled Chilean industrial worker is 39 weeks. The people are democratic from top to bottom. An example: The new minister of health, Dr. Miguel Etchebame, still works as a subordi­ nate of Dr. Orrego who, officially, is under him. At 8 a. m., the min­ ister takes orders from Orrego in the State hospital; at Il a. m., in his ministry, he gives orders to Orrego. Another instance is the Church. Everywhere, there are good Catholic Democrats. In Chile alone, as far as. I know, thereis an organized Catholic Democratic party which works with Radicals, Socialists and Communists against the Fascist dan­ ger. Schnake, the minister of labor, is ‘of this party. Not far from Valdivia, heart of German Chile, in the village of San Jose de la Mariquina, lives the noblest of the country’s anti-Nazis, a bishop and a.full-blooded German! I went to see Guido Benedict Beck de Ramberga, Capuchin bishop. He told me of his fight against his fellow Germans and Chileans of German descent, who send him threatening letters. The Nazis have one great virtue: They know their enemies and fight them. The Gestapo in Germany warned him, of reprisals if he did not stop publishing his antifascist lit­ erature. The magazines and pam­ phlets kept on flowing from the bish­op’s print shop. This brings me back to the Nazi embassy in Chile. A few weeks ago, Minister of the ,Interior Morales- made a speech forecasting an early break with the Axis. The Axis em­ bassies got busy on the cables, and Morales cracked down, refusing to nasc their messages F IR ST -A ID to the A IL IN G H O U SE by Roger B. Whitman Roger fi, Whitman—WNU Features. CRACKS AROUND WINDOWS. 1SXTHEN the outdoor temperature ' drops and the winds blow, the exposed sides of rooms may be too cold to sit in with any comfort. Spaces near windows are likely to be the chilliest parts of the room, and for two reasons; one is the leakage of cold air around the joints of a window and window frame, and the other is the direct loss of heat through the window glass. Much of this discomfort can be overcome by the fitting of storm sash. This checks the leakage of cold air through the cracks around the window sashes, and also reduces the loss of heat through the window glass. Another loss of heat that is often unsuspected is due to the leakage of air through the joints between the window frames and the outside walls, these joints, of course, being outside the protection given by storm sash. This leakage may be due to the shrinkage of wood, to settlement, and to the failure of the flashings that are supposed to make the joint airtight. These troubles can all be overcome by fill­ ing the joint with caulking com­ pound, preferably forced in with a tool called a caulking-gun, that works like an automobile grease gun. Car­ penters and painters have the nec­ essary equipment and will usually do a job at so much per window.In addition to storm ash, metal strips around the window sashes are a great advantage. Rattling Windows. Question: We recently had new windows put in our home, but the slightest breeze rattles them terri­ bly. What is the cause and remedy? Answer: The reason is that the sashes fit too loosely in the grooves in which they slide. In putting in the windows, the carpenter should have seen to it that the grooves made a snug fit. Loose windows will admit quantities of cold air. Metal weatherstrips will not only seal the joints, but will prevent rat­ tling. Use the kind of weatherstrip- ping that fits in grooves cut in the edges of the sashes. If the carpen­ ter will not make good on his job, you can get wedges with which the sashes can be jammed in place and kept from rattling. They are to be had at hardware and dime stores. Soiled Floor.Question: My floors are finished with varnish and wax. They are subject to much wear and tear. I wash them with warm water and soap before waxing. The varnish is wearing away. How else can I keep them clean? ‘ What will remove marks made by rubber heels? Answer: After cleaning your floor and thorough drying, put on a coat of varnish and follow with two thin coats of paste floor wax, each well rubbed aifter 20 minutes for drying. You can then keep the floor clean with liquid wax; not water wax or the self-polishing kind, for these have another purpose. Soiling and marking will be in the waxing, which the liquid wax will remove. Put on more paste floor wax when wear be­gins to show. Leaking Joints. Question: The first story of our detached house is concrete blocks, and the second story is stucco. Wood panels run across the joints as deco­ ration. Driving rains soak through the walls. We suspect the wooden panels. Would you advise remov­ ing them? Or protecting them with flashings? Answer: Removing the panels would so change the appearance of your house that you might not like the results. Such panels are fre­ quently the cause of leakage, often because water collects on the flat up­ per surface and soaks through the joint. Your best move will be to put copper flashings behind each of the strips. Tin flashings will rusi out within a few years. Cigarette Burn Question: A new maple dinette table was burned by a cigarette. Can this mark be repaired without refinishing the entire table top? Answer: AU of the charred wood should be scraped out with a razor blade. The bare wood that is ,ex­ posed can be touched up with one or twoJthin coats of. white shellac. This wffl leave a slight depression, but it will hardly be visible; not visible enough to justify scraping and refinishing the entire table top. Cork Insulation Question: What is .your opinion of granulated cork as insulating ma­ terial? I can secure a considerable quantity, and intend to use it in my attic floor. Answer: Granulated cork should give excellent insulation. Pour it between the floor beams to a depth of four inches. The ceiling below should be amply strong to support the weight. Cover with heavy pa­per to keep out dust. OU Smell. Question: In its first year there was, no smell from our oil burner, but now the smell is bad, and at the head of the steps, is nauseating. Service men have been unable to help, us when called in. What can you suggest? Answer: The smell is evidence of the leakage of oil through a poor connection or of improper adjust­ ment. Either o^e of these should' be easy for a competent service man to locate and correct. . If the service man you now use is unable to do so, look for another one.

On Tuesday, November 17, 1942 . the Tithes Herald of Washington, D. C , carried an article by Phillip Warden which states: “Army studying Horsemeat as Beef Sub- stitute.’’ “ If the Meat Shortage grows Worse, as tbe Dempartment IofA gricuItttreExpectsitto Early Next Spring, then maybe Horse- meat will be pushed as a Substi­ tute.’ “ Four Packing Plants in in the United States now produce Horsemeat under Official Govern­ ment Inspection,” the Department of Agriculture reported. Thev are: Quaker Oats Company, Rockford, Illinois; Hill-Packing Company, Topeka, Kansas Davis Packing Company, Estherville, Iowa, a sub­ sidiary of Hill Packing Company, Inc., Linden, New Jersey.” “ From December through Aug ust this year 15,919 horses were slaughtered under Federal Inspect­ ion,” the Bureau of Animal Indus­ try reported. “This compared with 11,843 slaughtered in the fist eight months of last year.” - “UnMl the Meat Shortage De veloped Horsetneat production had been on tbe Decline” , it said, “ Most of the Horses bad come from the Western Ranges.” Other Sources of supply were old and blind horses that no longer had a place In the nation’s economy ” “ When horse prices were low and there was little demand for the ani­ mals they were sold off to the meat packers.” Congress should, win.in the next ten days, act to prevent any further control of farm crops.

"MEW YORK--Just after the last World war, there was an air­ plane rough-rider known as the only man who could crowd Jimmy Doo- GeneralStrickland Was the Toughest through B i . t CL- murderousBuckaroo of Skies punishment and landing all of a piece, with his ship still holding together. He looked like Francis X. Bushman and spot* softly. That was young Lieut. Anby Casey Strickland, just now Brig­ adier General Strickland, lead­ ing onr bombers against Rom­ mel- and giving our side just about its first chance to cheer without keeping its fingers crossed. As chief of the bomber command of the United States army air forces—overseas last July—he rode the first plane of our bomber formation which wrought historic havoc and hur­ ried the Axis on its way. There’s a sidelight on General Strick­ land in his commendation of his fliers in a successful attack a few days ago: “Knocking them right down on their own airfield! That win teach those monkeys a lesson! We’ll drive these rats ont of their holes! Tonight treats for the whole squadron, and it’s go­ ing to be on me.” He was bom in Braggs, Ala., Sep­ tember 17, 1895, attended Alabama Polytechnic college, where he played football, and joined the army in November, 1917, not a West Point­ er. He was a first lieutenant in the reserve corps and served overseas in the artillery. In July, 1920, he switched to the regular army, get­ ting a joint commission as first and second lieutenant, the latter a for­ mality incidental to the former. He was a captain in 1930, a major in 1935, a lieutenant colonel in 1940, a colonel in 1941 and a brigadier gen­ eral last July. He completed the army flying school course in 1922 and attended tactical school in 1939. P OR obvious reasons, it is a pleas- r ure to spot a sound Americana item in the news these days. Here’s a nice one in the story of the New Come* Gut From Deepinttinterland symphony To Swing a Baton | o°w a r d Barlow to swing its baton for a spell at Carnegie hall, even if his first program was of foreign origin. Mr. Barlow swung a cowboy’s quirt be­ fore he ever waved a baton, worked in lumber camps and engaged in other uniquely American occupa­ tions before his career as a musi­ cian. He caught the real American idiom, in speech and musie and In his 15 years conducting the CBS orchestra, he played Amer­ ican composers and fostered Xmerican genius. In 1940, he v is awarded a certificate of merit by the National Associa­ tion for Composers and Conduc­ tors as “the outstanding native interpreter of American music” during that season. / When he was around 17, Mr. Bar- low left his home at Plain City, Ohio, where he was bom, for a job on a Colorado ranch, near Denver. He rode an Old Faint and rode an Old Dan and made the little dogies git along for about two years and Bked it so well that he almost made it a business. However, he was di­ verted to the University of Colorado, where he swarmed all over the mu­ sic department in his glee club anti orchestral activities. A necessary sabbatical interval of heaving logs and slabs in an Oregon lumber camp landed him at Reed college, Oregon, where he picked up an A.B. de­ gree, a scholarship at Colvunbia uni­ versity, and $25. Thus accoutred, he crashed New York, conducted choral societies and made his debut as an orchestra conductor at the Peterborough, N. H., MacDowell fes­ tivals in 1919. As an aside, he had served as sergeant with the AEF. He con­ ducted the American National orchestra from 1923 to 1925, and joined CBS in 1927. High musi­ cal dignitaries were inclined to high-hat the radio then, as a medium for serious mnsic. Mr. Barlow stepped’ right into the classics and has been a pioneer~- in proving that no subtlety of 1 -tone or musicianship is beyond the capacity of a good loud- , speaker. The Philharmonic calls ' him after quite a long absence of Americans from its podium. T~\ON’T shush the war talk when the children are around. An­ swer their questions and tell them the truth. Such is the urgent advice to parents by Dr. Eduard C. Linde- man, professor of sociology at the New York School of Social Work. “Evasions give the children a sense of our untrustworthiness,” says the veteran educator, sociologist, hu­ manitarian and author, who was • laborer until 21. Then he took a B.S. degree at Michigan Agricultur­ al college and began social work in Detroit ; and Lansing. As U, S. Rangers Arrived at Oran This photograph, radioed from London to New York, and sound- photoed to Chicago, shows United States Bangers and equipment arriving at a beach near Oran, Algeria, in boats as they prepared to occupy the French possessions on the north Mediterranean shore. In between the two key ports, Algiers and Oran, American landings encoimtered only slight resistance and made deep penetrations. This is one of the first pictures of land operations to arrive in America. Conference in Wilds of New Caledonia Lieut. Gen. Henry H. Arnold (center), commander of U.

H ARD up for leading men as more and more of the fa­ mous stand-bys £0 into the army, Hollywood is busily recruiting newcomers to the screen; and hoping that you’ll like them. Columbiawillintroduce the pub­ lic to Robert Hymes, formerly a singer with Freddy Martin’s or­ chestra, in “ What’s 'Buzzin*, Cousin?” with Ann Miller, Phil Har­ ris and his orchestra, and Rophes- ter. Metro’s signed James Davis, a Kansas City oil salesman; he has a supporting role in “Salute to the Marines,” and the male lead in “Swing Shift Maizie." Meanwhile Franchot Tone’s agent has said: “When Franchot wants to work for nothing he’ll work for the government.” Tone had agreed orally to make one picture for War­ ners for $60,000, but the wage ceil­ ing forbids him to make more this year than he did last. Last year he was idle several months because of illness; he’s already earned al­ most as much this year as he did last. He’d be able to keep just $20,000 of that Warner money, and would have to work the rest of the year for nothing. “Old Acquaint­ ance” was the picture involved. Georgia Gibbs recently signed a 13 week contract as the new singing star on the CBS Caravan Hour, but she was more thrilled when Produc­ er Bill Bacher gave her a. chance to act. She’d never spoken lines on GEOBGIA GIBBS any stage before. So she was prac­ tically breathless when the Big mo­ ment came: Lanny Ross asked: “Do you conga, Miss Gibbs?” and Georgia replied: “Of course I con-, ga, Mr. Ross.” Momentous! — Myroa Loy doesn’t care about making more pictures, since her re­ cent marriage, so she’s been turn­ ing down all assignments, and Met­ ro has engaged a new wife for Wil­ liam Powellfor the new “Thin Man” picture—Irene Dunne. Beatrice Kay, who sings those ballads of the past on the air’s "Gay Nineties” show, has yielded to the call of Hollywood, and will make a picture laid in old New Or­ leans early next year. ' So ail the people who’ve thought she was an old lady—and a lot of radio listen­ ers do, because, of the songs she sings—are going to find out that she’s both young and pretty. Leslie Brooks has been studying Jiujitsu to such good effect that she’s been asked to tone it down. Told to put up a good fight in a scene with Linda Darnell, Doris Dudley and Glenda Farrell in Co­ lumbia’s ‘‘City Without Men,” she tossed ’em around like bean bags! —*— Charles Boyer has five leading ladies in “The Constant Nymph” ; in the order that they hold in his affections on the screen they are Joan Fontaine, Alexis Smith, Bren­ da Marshall, Jean Muir and Joyce Reynolds.—*— . At the request of the council of chiefs of the Navajo reservation, Harry Carey win film a series of shorts dealing with the history and traditions of the tribe. He speaks Navajo, and is one’ of our best authorities on the tribe. Jane Wyatt, whom you’ll see in •'The Navy Comes Through,” has sold 5,000 feet of 16 mm. color film on birds to RKO; they’ll release it as a two-reel short. Ornithology has been her hobby for years. The film shows the life and habits of virtual­ly all western birds, including sea gullsi and eagles; the color pictures she’s sold were several1 years in production. - ODDS AND ENDS—Eddie Cantor has a new discovery—Shirley Dinsdale, 15-year- old ventriloquist, whom Edgar Bergen says is a 'natural one; she’s had her own series of programs on San Francisco's NBC station . . . When people look at Gig Yomig as if they knew him he’s sure he’s facing former customers at a drive-in in Los Angeles where he used to work . . .

Versatile Uses of Fur Gives Variety to Winter Fashions By CHERIE NICHOLAS CUCH thrilling chapters as : ion is writing into the story of furs this season! It may be mere­ ly an accent of fur used as trim­ming, or it may be an entire gar­ ment of fur; but rest assured that when fur enters into costume de­ sign as it does so lavishly this winter, it’s doing so with an art­ ful gesture that brings high drama into the fashion picture. - Furs are especially playing a fascinating role in the trimming and accessory drama this season. Huge muffs, which fashion decrees for this winter; dramatic fur hats made to match; gloves of fur, lapel pieces and corsages of fur flowers; and big bows of fur at the throat are a few of tile exciting highspots that fash­ ion has in store for the coming months. It is big news, too, that stole scarfs are in fashion again. Only the new stoles are cunningly devised with tricky little concealed pockets and handbag adjustments and many con­ vertible contrivances that make them practical for many-purpose wear. The handsome fur stole pic­ tured to the lower right in the above illustration is a convertible type. It can be worn with long scarf ends or be manipulated to form a collar and muff as you see in the picture. The stunning “date” dress shown to the lower left in the illustration gives evidence that fur accessories are bringing high drama into the fashion picture. This two-piece frock of luscious matte-finished rayon crepe is 'a masterpiece when it comes to delineating an exquisite, figure-flat­tering silhouette. The slim, grace­ ful lines interpreted by this dress are typical of the new fashion trend. It is the slim, svelte figure that ex­ perts will tell you can be achieved only when a correct and perfectly fitted foundation garment is worp. The deep toned rayon crepes so modish this winter in their gorgeous hues are not only beautifully adapta­ ble to the molded lines of the new streamlined dresses, but also make a perfect background for rich Air accents. In this instance a huge muff is matched with a huge pom pom of fur on the hat. Tiny gilt bows harmonize charmingly with the fashionable mink brown of the crepe. The smooth bodice, with its smartly draped hipline tops a pen­ cil-slim street lengtii skirt cut on the newest lines. The smart jacket and hat ensem­ ble illustrated above to the right shows the importance of “a hat to match.” Here a silver fox fur jacket with its brilliant silver- marking is topped with a hat of taupe velvet trimmed in matching silver fox. Jackets, short coats and capes of fur have a high rating in style pres­ tige for the coming winter. One of the biggest successes of the season is turning out to be the wool suit that is smartly trimmed with fur. Every sort of fur from smooth pelts to the long-haired types are in style. The spotted furs are topnotch fashion. The suit centered in the group illustrated above makes fetching use of ocelot (that fur so adored by the younger element) for the notched collar and the. patch pockets. The tawny color of the fur contrasts effectively with the black wool of the suit. A telescopic tur­ ban of bright red and black novelty striped wool is ,worn, together with a matching bag. A vogue for pure white evening furs is becoming increasingly : - portant. The two outstanding furs are white caracul and snowy ermine. ’Teen-age and college girls are call­ ing for three-quarter length all-white caracul coats. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Side Buttoning Here is a two-piece dress of cela- nese spun rayon that is of the sort young girls adore. It boasts a long- torso overblouse of plaid with a monotone natural tan weave. The new side buttoning is smartly car­ried out. There is an oval yoke, of the plain fabric matching the skirt. This skirt is made strictly in keep­ing with WPB regulations. Plaid With Plaid Just as twin prints are being used together, designers are now working out little plaids with big plaids. The former for the dress, the latter for the topcoat. The patterning and coloring is identical, only the size of the plaid patterning differs. Winter Cottons Include Velveteen Wedding Gown A theme that holds interest in all fabric displays these days is that of cottons for all year ’round wear. Outstanding items that are made of fashionable cottons to wear right now are velveteen and corduroy dresses and coats, quilted gingham and percale jackets and house coats, work clothes in denim and gabar­ dine, and dinner dresses in cotton lace, the newest out being a thin and lovely filmy mesh black lace. The latest cotton news is the wedding gown of white velveteen. Beads Decorate ‘Date* Or tFurlough* Dresses In the charming bead-embroidered dresses that are making their debut this fall in the fashion world comes a new thrill. -They are all that is to be desired for dress-up occasions. You will find one of these gowns in Uack or dubonnet, purple, royal or fuchsia makes a perfect “date” or “furlough” dress. Beaded yokes are one way of arriving at chic and charm, and eveirnewer is the single huge flower spray- that adorns at some strategic point. Suit Wedding For the informal hurry-up wed­ ding suit styles are outstanding. Brighter stronger colors share the spotlight with subtle neutrals for go­ ing away costumes and for the wedding ceremony suits in lovely colorful wools are feminized with fur trimmings also dainty marabou muffs with matching hats.

THE MEANING OF CHURCH MEMBERSHIP LESSON TEXT—Colossians 3:1-17.GOLDEN TEXT—Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.—I Corin- thians 12:27. Church membership means a great deal; a fact which has been obscured by the prevalent idea that joining the church is just like join­ ing any other organization. We need to be reminded again and again that the local or denominational organi­zation has real meaning only as it represents in the world a fellowship of true believers who, ,by the new birth, have become part of the living and true church, which is the body of which Christ is the Head. , It is likewise essential that be­ lievers know what their membership in the church means, so that they may fully appreciate it and properly present it to the world. I. A New Life (w. 1-3). The church member is (or should be) a Christian, that is, one who has passed from death to life through the regenerating work of God in Christ (John 3:6, 7). Thus he has be­ come “a new creature; old things have passed away; behold all things are become new” (H Cor. 5:17). This new spiritual being has en­ tirely changed interests and desires. The things of the world which he used to love have now become dis­ tasteful to him. The things of the Spirit which used to seem strange and not understandable to him (I Cor. 2:14) now become the center of his life. Being risen with Christ in newness of Iffe he seeks those things which are above. H. A Changed Life (w . 4-13). Setting one’s heart upon things above means that the life will be changed. There will be a putting off of the things of earth and a put­ ting on of the new man, in practice as well as in creed. Although the Christian is a new creature in Christ, he bears with him until he dies (or Jesus comes) the old nature, which tries to hold him down, to draw him back to the worldly and fleshly things from which he was saved. But the Christian is to “make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof’ (Rom. 13:14). He is rather to “reckon” himself “to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive into God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” This calls for an act of his will (and a repeated or continuous act) by which he puts away the sinful things mentioned in verses 5-9. -One might sum them up in two groups: (I) sexual indecency and immoral­ ity (v. 5), and (2) wicked JKords and attitudes (w. 8, 9). The early church had no corner on such sins. They mar Christian fellowship now. They ought not do so, for the church member should show the new life of the soul by a changed life before his fellowman. m . A Gracious Life (w . 14-17). -.Too often, following Christ—and church membership—has not seemed attractive to the unbeliever, nor has It recommended the grace of God, because it has been a sad, unpleas­ ant, negative thing which God never intended it to be. To the average non-Christian (rightly or wrongly), the matter of being a Christian seems to be a rather drab affair of denying one’s self the interesting and pleasant things of life. Those who feel that way have never seen the real thing, for if they had, they ?ould:sense (even though they cow not under­ stand it) that here was the fulfill­ ment of all that is best in life. The purpose and plan of God for man is that he should be in fellow­ ship with Him, and thus to be set free from the limitations and the disappointments of human life apart from God. The normal life of the Christian is one of love, peace, joy, fellowship, praise and thankfulness.. Let us make it just that in this world of hatred, war, sorrow, division, weeping and ingratitude. This portion of Scripture merits a closer examination. Note first that love (use “love” for charity in v. 14) is the bond which unites these Christian graces into a whole which is harmonious and well-balanced. Naturally; the peace of Christ wQl be Uie ruling factor in such a life,, controlling the heart, the seat of man’s emotions and affections. Such a life is cultivated and de­ veloped by the indwelling of God’s Word and (note Jt) "richly." The weakness of many a church is found right here—there is so tittle teaching and receiving of the 'Word into the heart. t Christian faith expresses itself in song. "Thou hast put gladness in mjr heart” (Hs. 4:7), and that means a song. How true it is that hymns and songs teach and; admonish us. The life of the Christian church member is always conditioned by one perfect controlling influence— the will of God. He- does all things, even the supposedly tittle or secular things, in . the name of the Lord Jesus, 'with a constant thankfulness which goes up like a sweet incense to the Father through Christ. *. / MM -7** J 7 ?

DECEMBER 2. 1942 A Plan to Protect Agriculture After This War * For years the tragic results of the expansion of food-producing acreage during World War I has haunted American agriculture. Every farm­er, as a matter of patriotism, inter­ rupted his rotation of crops to pro­duce food and more food for our armies and our Allies. Now again in World War II, to feed our soldiers and our Allies and to serve the spe­ cial demands of war industry, we are dislocating our normal produc­ tion as a matter of patriotic service. It seems plain that by the end of this war American farms will have created a tremendous surplus pro­ duction power which ordinary .peace­ time requirements will not absorb. By the end of 1942 our overall average increase production over the average for the last 10 years will be more than 21 per cent. How then can American agriculture side-step a post-war farm tragedy even worse than that following World War I? Experiments in Rubber and Other Products. Our Government is now experi­ menting with domestic sources for rubber. Some sixty thousand acres are devoted to the production of guayule and its possibilities as a source of domestic rubber. Emer­ gency plants for the production of thousands of tons of synthetic rub­ ber from oil and alcohol are now springing into production. We have learned how to make'pa­ per from slash pine and starch from potatoes. We are learning how to raise medicinal herbs which we for­ merly imported. Denied the use of kapok which we imported from the East Indies and used in life preservers, we have dis­ covered that the floss from milk­ weed makes better life preservers than kapok ever did. Factories have been built and several thousand acres are now devoted to raising milkweed intensively. Already we are producing tung oil successfully. Thousands Of acres will be needed before we can supply even our present domestic market. Luckily, we have at hand the Na­ tional Farm Chemurgic Council, an organization of research chem­ ists from our several industries who compare notes and gain new enthusiasm in the research for new uses of old crops and new crops which can be cultivated in America. Our government has established re­ gional research laboratories. More than fifteen thousand differ­ ent kinds of plants grow in the nat­ ural state in the United States. We use less than three hundred of these plants. Farm chemurgy will not be complete, nor the post-war problem of agriculture solved until every plant is re-examined in the light of modem science and made to serve its part In contributing to the com­ fort, happiness and security of our America of the future. A Plan That Deserves Support, The United States Senate is con­ sidering a plan which will require the use of 20 per cent of war profits during the war for the purchase of Recovery Bonds by each company in order to have available the nec­ essary cash to quickly change their business and industrial plants back to peace-time activities at the dose of tiie war and to adjust the employ­ ment of their normal number of fac­ tory workers. This percentage of war profits could also be used in a broad plan of research by industrial chemists to develop new uses for products of the farm by our domestic industry. If otir industry has the knowledge and the money in hand to convert an all-out war effort to peacetime production, maintain employment and launch the new products discov­ ered by science, we have a reason­ able chance to absorb our farm sur­ plus even in the post-war period. Depression hit our rural areas longer and harder than our indus­ trial areas. Our hope for the securi­ ty, happiness and prosperity of Rur­ al America is at stake. If we can develop this practical plan for tak­ ing care of our surplus in the after war period, we can go forward un­ afraid in an all-out production effort for the winning of this war and in providing the food necessary for starving people in the after war pe­ riod. We will know that we have provided an ever-expanding Amer­ ica with new crops and new uses.Worth thinking about. Agriculture and Labor “Agriculture has excellent reasons to take concern for the welfare of labor,” says Wheeler McMillen. "The situation after the war is over will be of particular importance to farmers. Men earning good wages full time are much better customers than men without jobs. Men steadi­ ly employed under satisfactory con­ ditions are far less likely than men - without work to become the prey of men who agitate for strange kinds of government. Agriculture ought not, therefore, to develop hostility toward labor and toward labor or­ ganizations as such. A wiser course woidd be to try to use agriculture’s influence for correction of those abuses which do no good either to laborers, farmers or the nation." America’s Real Stimulant “In the United. States, every man’s value is determined by his activity, and every man is given the opportunity to develop his abilities. An American’s real stimulant and pride consist in bring a self-made r man, m fighting, and in winning die ' fight.”—Javier Prado. > P re p a re Now fc-r V -I-C -T -O r^R -Y AFTER VICTORY The problem of changing from war work, after World War I, to peacetime production, plunged us into a long and grim depression. Rural Aunerica felt this depres­ sion five- years ahead of industry and business. We tried to warn la­ bor and capital but they would not believe the warning and insisted the rainbow and the pot of gold at the end would last forever. Finally, the bubble broke and the storm came. We had 12 million unemployed, the domestic market for farm production was gone, and even the smaller export market sur­ vived only when we loaned Europe the money to buy our products. Farm income was reduced, mort­ gages increased and many farmers lost their farms while industry, big and little, was at its wits’ end to survive.To Frevent a Worse Depression. Our problem is to prevent even a worse depression at the end of this war. Every industry, big and little, has been retooled to produce air­ planes, tanks, cannon and weapons of war. Millions and millions of dol­ lars have been spent for this pur­ pose. When this war is ended it will take the same millions of dollars to turn these ’ industries bade to peace-time production. Lessons of World War I. We learned after World War I that our country cannot prosper unless agriculture prospers. We know now that our country cannot prosper un­ less agriculture, business and indus­ try, and labor are all prosperous. Whatever our personal feeling may be, the fact remains that all of these groups taken together make up our domestic market which con­ sumes over 90 per cent of our total production. Labor can purchase its maximum of farm products if each worker has a permanent job at good wages. The Mnployer can pay good wages if he has something useful to manufacture and some one has the desire and the money to buy it. Jobs at good wages depend upon an employer who is making the money necessary to pay the wages. Farm Prices Reflect Good Business. This makes it plain that with em­ ployers and business busy in use­ ful undertakings, with all workers employed at good wages, farm prices will be good and consump­tion at its maximum. The key to the situation is that employers -shall have the cash mon­ey at hand to change from war man­ ufacture to peace-time activity with the least possible delay when this war ends. Our United States Senate is searching for a plan that will pro­ duce maximum revenue to the gov­ ernment to insure victory; provide' a fund at the end of the war big enough and quickly enough to con­ vert business and industry from war work to peacetime necessity, but without the government having to borrow and lend the money for this purpose after the war is over. Here Is a Simple, Practieal Plan. For the solution of all these prob­ lems there is one simple plan of out­ standing practical value', based on the idea that war profits from all companies, big and little, should be used for this purpose. The tax rate on war profits is fig­ ured at about 90 per cent. Business and industry, big and HtUel would be permitted, however, to deduct from their taxable war profits 20 per cent of such profits, provided the deduction -is used to purchase United States Recovery bonds. Recovery bonds would be a spe­ cial kind of bond for this purpose only. Recovery bonds could not be sold or borrowed upon during the war, and neither would they pay any interest. They must be held by the purchaser until the end of the war. The day the war is over these bonds would automatically start to bear interest, could be bought and sold, and become the same as any other government bond. The pur­chaser could sell them or borrow upon them to obtain the money to change his business and plant from war production to peace-time pro­duction when and as he needed mon­ey to do this job. Profits for Peace-Time Recovery. ■ In other words, business, big or little, would be required to contrib­ ute 20 per cent' of its own war profits to provide the money to change its own plants back to peace­time production. The fairness and equity of such a plan is perfectly plain. Each com­ pany, by using 20 ,per cent of its own war profits to buy Recovery bonds, builds its own backlog to bridge from war production to normal peace-time activities. Big compa­ nies, and small companies will buy in proportion to their size and needs until the war is over. In the mean­ time, our government receives the maximum in revenue to produce for victory, and we, the people, have es­ tablished security against the worst depression of all time. With such a plan adopted and in operation, we can all give our maxi­ mum to the war effort, secure in the fact that when the war is over we can quickly and’safely go back to the paths of peace. The necessity for such a plan is so apparent, the evils .of depression so grim and widespread that we, the people, can well afford to take time out to sup­ port our senators and congressmen in this effort to bypass another de­pression.

Milton E Hartman, of Advance, died at Camp Sevier, Greenville, S C., Friday, Dec 7th, death re­ sulting from pneumonia. This is Davie county’s first sacrifice to the ruthless Hun. The Golden Rule Rev. Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddenite. N. C. The Golden Rule is that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. This rule was given by the Lord Jesns Christ and re­ corded in Mattbe'v 7:12. If this rule was practiced we would-have a wonderful world in which to live. It would be so different to what it now is. There would not be any war. There would be no murder Crime would cease. No man would take advantage of anyone else, be­ cause he would anybody else take advantage of him. As people would have their fellowmen treat them, they would treat their fellowmen. However' because men and na­ tions do not practice tbe Golden Rule we have a world of trouble. Men kill each other. They wage war upon one another. They He. deceive, cheat andd efraud. They do unto others as they wouldn't- have them do unto them. They take advantage. They lay under mining plans and schemes in order to make money, gain power over their fellows, get their possessions, get a living out of life without justly earning it, thus gratifying their covetous and lustful desires. All this is unfair. It is absolutely wrong, therefore brings heartache, trouble and much destruction. There is no rule in all the world that equals that of our Savior. It puts alt men on an equal basis. No­ body would have others do him wrong, or take advantage of him, and if be would only treat every­ body else right, then our country and the world would be at peace and in brotherly love and sweet fellowship rather than in confus ion, bolding hatred and seeking re­ venge. It is a fact that - all men like to be treated right, but sa few will absolutely treat everybody just right. Men do to others what they don’t want them to do unto. them. We find it to be so in the home, in the church, in the community, in the school, in business, in religion, in politics, and throughout the world. No wonder we have crime, corruption, hatred, war, and men and nations seeking revenge. There is absolutely no way to live right, and be acceptable in the sight of God, except to pi act ice the Golden Rule—do unto others as we would have them do unto us This is Christlike. It puts men on an equal basis. It makes men bro­ thers in Christ, and fit subjects for the kingdom of heaven. Nothing else can and will. This is God’s plan, and it is life’s better way.

No matter how much stuff people may have stored in their, homes, they have it, but still, other people may not have anv and cannot get it because throughout the country the board­ ed goods would supply the boarders and others too for a long time. Hoarding is wrong. We don’t mean a few pounds of something, but a quanity that would Irst for weeks or months. This is bound to to cause a shortage In goods until distribution is put back on a noi mal basis, yet the hoarded goods does not really mean a shortage Some folks accuse their mercb ants of hoarding, storing goods and refusing to sell. We don’t think that much of this is being done, and if there are some of them that do we feel it is a foolish practice, for it would be better to sell out and then try to replace if possible, and if not, j st go without and not be be bothered about such items. If merchants will notice they can catch on to most people that are in­ clined to hoard and can limit a lot of it by not selling large quaniiies to any one person: However, they should never tuni away a customer when his wants could be supplied unless it is known that he is hoard­ ing. Tbere is one good thing about shortages when there is no hoarding going on. and that is “we are all in the same boat”, and there is where we belong, for who has an appetite for something on his table when he knows that his neighbor across the street or road couldn’t get a bite o* it to save his life?—Ex. Censorship While publication of some news is prohibited u-der voluntary censor ship, the press of America remains now in wartime tbe freest in tbe world. We have just receive I the revised censorship code from the office of censorship and from this code we are able to tell you the why of some of the restrictions on news Atfirat thought you would con< aider it harmless to say that Johnnie Jones was with artillery regiment number so and-so in Australia. Tbat Iookslikeinformation which would do nobody any service. But if you were any enemy agent skilled in securing information, you could take many sueh items and make out the full strength, equipment and training of General MacArthur’s forces in Australia and could esti- the strength and type of troops re­ quired to defeat them—all because of innocent looking little newspaper items. But to 8av that Johnnie Jones is in Australia, without any reference to his outli< number, disclose no infor mation The enemy, of sourse, knows we have troops there, but we certainly hope the enemy does not know the full and exact strength of the equipment. Censorship is for the purpose of.preventing this news reaching tbe enemy. Tbere should be no news of troop movements. To say that Pvt. Jones will sail from New York on a cer­ tain day is an invitation for nazi subs to try to prevent Pvt. Jonea and thousands of others from reaching their destination —Es.

The cry for a Washington City anthem should be easilv answered. Jttst write a song around the chor­ us, “There are rumors on rumers in their rooms." We met a really 100 percent A- tnerica, an Indian chief, asked him what he tho ight of the things that are going on in Washington. He replied: “All talk: No do ” If our Washington "crackpots” ever get as deeply interested in smashing Japan as they are in mak­ ing over the United States, all hell will break loose about Japan’s ears and all will be over in short order. The fellow who boasted Pearl Harbor, t*>at the United States would blow the Japs off tbe map in three months, just swallows his Adam’s apple when you remind him of that boast now “Every well-informed person will admit that alcohv.1 and vice are. Public Enemy No. 1 and chief sa­ boteur of our defense forces. So whv should tbev not be treated as other saboteurs?

No Surprise— Election Returns There was never much doubt a- bout what was going to happen in New York Stat*. The president, by as inept a piece of political man­ handling as the country has witness­ ed since his unsuccessful “purges,” virtually assured a R publican vic­ tory. ThePresident announced that he had to have a New Deal candidat , but the state Democratic boss, Jim Farley, wouldn’t hear to it. And the State Convention backed Jim’s man the American Labor Party, com­ posed of N w Dealers and those a little to' the left beyond, wouldn’t hear tn,bim The result was assured, and it is less of a tribute to young Tom Dewey than it should be a cau tion to tha President. For tht same factors injected themselves elsewhere in the election November 3 Thi1 administration may still count on a House and Sen­ ate safely Democratic, but a tide has set in, and it is an unfavorable tide. Every man is entitled to his own ex­ planation of it Ours is that the President has gone too far in tbe direction of a • Iaborite government, and be too often set himself - up as personal arbiter in matters which properly lie between tbe people and the candidates. They can be led; they cannot be dictated to. At any'rate, the country will es­ cape that most dangerous of divi­ sions, anil executive brancn of one political faith with a legislatorial branch of another. For the next two years, at least. But after 'that the signs point to a free-for-all. with no holds barred.—Charlotte News. T w m r m d o n ltl TOP TMAT I O k BY MWMR'S Wise And Timely Former President Hoover, the best informed man in the nation on the subject, makes tbe wisr- and timely assertion that hall a billion people of the world will be suffer­ ing from acute food shortage after the war and that it will be Ameri­ ca’s job to feed them.- He takes this position not onlv b.cause or the obvious mercifulness of the idea, but because, too, it will be good, if not actually essen­ tial, business for the United States to play this role of the Good Sama. ritan. If we want a lasting peace in stead of anarchy, thehunger-strick en of Europe and Asia must be fed, Hoover wrote in Collier's ma­ gazine. He pointed out that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Chur­ chill had promised to feed victims of tbe war. “But if tbese promises are to be kept,” tbe former President de­ clared, ‘we sball need to begin preparedness long before the war ends. That preparedness means some new direction and new strate gv for American agriculture. It means preparasion of supplies from South America. It means advance agreements with our Allies as to control of world supplies, finance, shipping and administration." A far sighted and statesmanlv view!—Charlotte Observer. \ Plowing-Under Days Are Gone It strikes farmers as well as the public generally as utterly incon­ sistent with the present need for en­ larged crop production in the whole of the United States for the Feder­ al government to protract its de pression-restrictions upon tbe grow­ ing of all essential staples. Whv not take tbe lid off and let the American farmers produce a maximum of whatever they are pre pared to produce, whether it be cotton, corn, live stock wheat, soy* beans or what-not? There is much talk and feai of a shortage in all of these lines be­ cause, first, of an increased demand for many of tbese commodities from the armed forces and, second, be cause of the withdrawal of such a large element of agricultural labor fjom productive pursuits. In view, therefore, of the obvt otisly increasing demand for great et productions of all foods and feeds! what’s the common sense ol subjecting tbe farmers to restric tions and restraints upon their out­ puts which, if justified in an era of abundance, conld certainly net be .justified in an era of scarcities?

The War and Doctors Is there no end to what this war is going to do to us, our practices and our traditions? In many wavs our progress has not only been halted but we have to revert to the status of yesteryear. For a time it seemed that it was B- bout to be that way with our public schools. They had been thanaform- ed from small one and two-teachcr unitB, scattered closely all over the State, into consolidated districts ser­ ving large areas. That was progress and we were mighty proud of it. Came difficulties in transportation, doe to tbe war conditions, and some of us were wondering if we had been* so progressive after all. Now cornea the president of the Southern Medical association saying that the war bas just about put an end, temporarily, to the medical spe­ cialist; that the doctor must be a jack-of-all-medical-trades, while the fighting lasts. “Before the war broke out,” savs Dr. Neal. * a man could be an eye. ear. nose and throat specialist, for example, but now witb so rnnny doctors answering their country’s call, he must be ready to deliver babies, deal with fractures of the spine, and attend to flat feet ” In other words, fur a spell, we may have to plav like we were back in the days of the old country doctor who had the answer for everything that bad to do with physical afflic­ tion, and a lot of other problems too. He carried hia pills in his saddle bag and packed a lot of comfort in his personal interest. He probably cur- cured as many patients with his words as he did with his medical wisdom. Maybe it would be good for what ails us if we had him with us again, for awhile at least, until we could the better appreciate tbe benefits of specialization. There is no getting around tbe fact that in our burry to build a compe­ tent fighting force the country has bern drained of doctors Fortunat­ ely steps are being taken to remem- dy this fault. Uut the scarcity of doctors will brinti a serious problem if and when epidemics come to ac­ centuate their need. And there is neu justification for the departments of public health which have been so .aboriously established throughout tbe nation. In a pineh we can get along better than our fathers could, because we know some of tbe funda­ mentals of preventive medicine Surely it can be said that the war is really doing things to us if it robs us of our specialists by turning them into general medical roust about?.— Statesville Dnily.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE $ I «0 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - $ SO We hope Harold Ickes will de cide to move to the South Sea Is lands or some other foreign coun­ try until we can win this war. This is no time to restrict the production of any crop that will help to witi the war. Farmers should remember this next Satur­ day when they go to the various voting places to cast their ballot on cotton control. Be Careful How You Vote In the past share croppers have received part of the government checks on crop control everv year. The authorities in Wasliiogton have announced definitely that there will be no more parity checks, as thev say that cotton is already bringing parity, so there will be no parity checks <or the share cropper to get. Agricultural Production Conser­ vation al'otments have been steadily reduced from about $3 00 on .each hundred pnuuds of cotton to a little more than $r,oo this year, although this year s allotment has not yet been officially announced. Under the Soil Conservation pro­ gram the share cropper will not get anything unless he earns it by put­ ting out the labor to do the plow­ ing, planting, terracing, etc Under the plan as set np he could not pos­ sibly make more than Jt 00 per day. In other words, there is no way that a share cropper could get any substantial benefit Ir m voting for crop control on December 12. There is no.way that a farmer who is farming under the FSA can benefit by voting for cotton acre­ age control on December 12 Every man who is farming under the FSA is indebted to the govern­ ment and before he can be free and be put out of debt, that monevmust be repaid. He can only repay that money by producing money crops. Most FSA farmers have helped of'their own sufficient to produce crops and pay what they owe if giveu a free hand. SoIoUgastbey are in debt and are compelled to have a joint bank account where they cannot use $1.00 of their own money, they can never be free. After the war tbey will be called on to pay off just like those who had Federal Land Bank loans were required to pay off, and if they are not able to pay off they will lose what they have worked for. Evety reasonable thinking per­ son knows that the war will be fol lowed with a terrihle depressiou is mere y wishful thinking. Every­ one knows that it catino be dene. If the farmer is not permitted to pay his debts during the war, he is bound to lose what he has after the war. - E-ery FSA farmer who desires to get out of debt and own wbat he bcs, should go out on December 12 aud vote tgainst cotton control. Every farmer is entitled to an opportunity to do his part in win­ ning the war. He cannot do his part with his hands tied. No one is going to urge you to vote for control unless it is some, one who thinks bis job is at stake Every farmer should remember his family and should remember that his own job is at stake.

At the conclusion of the dinner, Vice-President Line bach, of the Wachovia Bank & Trust Co, Winston Salem, ex­ plained to those present the big drive now on to sell nine billion dollars worth of Government bonds doting the month' of December This is the largest amount of bonds any country has ever attempted to sell at one time. Mr. Limebach explained about the different kinds of bonds the pablic could buy. These bonds mature in from one to 26 years, and pays interest from a linle Iess tban one pier cent, to near­ ly 3 per cent, according to the kind of bonds one buys Among those present at the meeting were bankers teachers, merchants, doctors, man­ ufacturers, salesmen, editors, and others. The meeting was enjoved by all those fortunate enough to be present. Rnox Jonstone presided over the meeting. . Following the song, “America,” R. B. Sanford led in prayer The ladies of the O. E. S. deserve much praise for the nice dinner and the manner in which it was served Davie coun­ ty will do her part by buying bonds to help win the war. Every man and woman in the county who pos sibly can,- is urged to purchase bonds this month so Davie will not fall behind.

Then they tip over the works by making a flicker that gives people the-idea that it’s still 1928 in California. The latest to get the ham m ers is "Once Upon a Honeymoon.” Several of the N.

They fear more jinxes than a voodoo tribe . . . One of their pet superstitions is that their colleagues always die in threes.

E arlier in the year a Holly­ wood trio died within a short tim e of each other—John Barrym ore and two producers, J. W alter Ruben and Bernie Hyman. Brooks Atkinson gave a tender column to George M. Cohan. Best of all was his discussion of "Over There," which w as the “theme song” of the last war. Mr. Atkin­ son tells'you why. “Although‘Over There’ has the strangest and most unlikely tune,” said Mr. A., “it is one of the songs almost any Amer­ ican can sing on the spur of the moment. It is a perfect expression of a popular emotion” -. . . What m ore could you ask of a w ar song? So far there have been good ditties for Uie service branches—Air. Corps, M arines, etc.—but nothing for the civilians to get hot about . . . Mr. Cohan knew how to stir up people.

Balused bj Westua Mempapee U dat THE VALUE O F lS E CHURCH TO THE SOCIAL OBDEB LESSON TEXT-MatUtew 3:13-16: Uark 12:13-17; I Peter 8:13-17.GOLDEN TEXT—Ve-are the salt of’ the earth . . . Ye are the light of the world.— Uatthew 5:13, 14. Social and poUtical leaders have in the church the strongest influence for good in all the world. One m ar­ vels that those who profess to seek the best for humanity, who try ev­ ery kind of social experiment, who labor with every expedient of man, fail to see and use in full m easure the power of Christianity. Perhaps the explanation is that some of these leaders are themselves unsaved men, who do not understand spiritu­ al things, and are not wiUing to give God the glory. Perhaps in the case of ethers it is because of ignorance or lack of contact with the church. Whatever the reason, the situa­ tion should be remedied. America could solve her problems, both so­ cial and political, by a nation-wide revival of true Christianity, with the accompanying salvation of thou­ sands of unconverted. If we can­ not have that, let us not fail to have a revival in our own hearts, our own churches, our neighbor­ hoods or. communities. We find in our lesson that the church is I. A Powerful Influence for Moral Good (M att. 5:13-16). Salt in the m idst of corruption, light in a world of unbeUevable darkness—what striking and mean­ ingful figures with which to describe the C hristian.' BeUevers are the “salt of the earth” because they draw their sa­ vor from God Himself. The Chris­ tian church, by God’s own state­ ment, is His own powerful antiseptic which preserves the social order from faUing into the moral decay which sometimes seem s imminent. It should, therefore, be honored and encouraged by that society which it serves. Christians are the “light of the world,” and it is the essential na­ ture of light to shine. The darker its surroundings the more m arked its brightness, and the more needed its iUumination. The good works of Christians reflect, the goodness of God, and so they glorify His worthy nam e. Brother, is your Ught burn­ ing brightly in this wicked world? II. A Stabilizing Elem ent in So­ ciety (M ark 12:13-17). The world is in social ferm ent, and our own country has its share of “ism s” and social theories caU- ing men to foUow, asking their loy­ alty, making them Utopian promises without foundation. Alert and inteUigent Americans are concerned about these clamor­ ous voices, many of which are quite properly suspected of having pur­ poses far from beneficial to our American way of life, or to democ­ racy itself. Y et they dare not op­ pose them lest there be the cry of denial of freedom of speech, etc. What can we do to m eet them? Here is the answer: Preach Christ. Bring men to a saving knowledge of Him and to a godly way of living. For the Christian is directed by Christ Himself to “render unto Cae­ sar the things that are Caesar’s”— and they do it too, because they have first rendered “to God the things that are God’s.” III. A Loyal Exam ple of Good Citizenship (I Pet. 2:13-17). The highest m easure of loyalty to country is the Christian standard here stated. In Romans 13:1-10 we learn that all authority comes from God and that the power of rulers is to be recognized as His g ift That m eans ^hat true rulers will submit to Him in every detaU of their gov­ ernment, seeking to know and to do His wiU. However, the Christian gives loyal obedience to the‘“powers that be” even though they m ay not recognize the source of their power. IW s is subject only to the limitation that they m ay not demand that we do those things that dishonor God’s name. Since their only real power to rule comes from Him, they have no authority to teU anyone to do that which is against His holy wUl. When that happens, the Higher Authority takes over and our loyalty m ust be to Him, the King of kings. The Christian then wiU be the best citi­ zen, eager to do what king or coun­ try m ay ask, in order thus to bear a good testimony and to dose the mouth of foolish critics of the church. The history of our country and of other lands reveals the nam es of m any iUustrious ChriMian patriots, and the roU of honor of those who loved and served their country well in the humble and difficult places, would bear its hundreds of thou­ sands of nam es which are found also on the roU of the church. Christians, let us be earnest and inteUigent followers of Christ, whose lives count for m oral uprightness. “For God and Country” is the excel­ lent motto of the American Legion, but it should be more than tbat; it should be the purpose of every Christian citizen.

This is a very remarkable trib u te to our armed forces who are fig h tin g th is war. But th is job is only tw o-thirds aocompllshed.

This appeal is d irected to two groups o f Americans: F irs t - the twenty-one m illion people who are investing eig h t per cent of th e ir wages.

"•te* KTAftY OP THB TRKAfUItv Record War Bond Sales Is Goal Of Women At War Week Nov. 22 - M ' WASHINGTON, D. C.—America’s women in the cities and on the farms—in war factories and in their homes—are determined to make Women At War Week the greatest War Bond selling effort since Pearl Harbor. Mrs. Franklin D. Boosevelt sounded the keynote for the Treasury Department’s Women At War Week, Nov. 22 to 28, with an appeal to women to save on ‘Tittle things” to provide money for War Bonds. I I” IT*"::~ ASSr “We women want to t . S work hard, we want to be I i ii iil I I ^ H H f iH N fils w '-.W t a part of this strenuous period because unless we are, we will not be able to face the men when they re tu rn and claim our share of the future re­ sponsibility for building a peaceful world,” the First Lady declared. The overall direction of WomenAtWarWeekrests with the Women’s Section of the War Savings Staff under the leadership of M iss H arrie t E lliott, Associate Field Director, and Mrs. Henry Morgen- fhau, Jr., Chief of the Special Activities Unit. From coast to coast women in every commu­ nity have made plans for torchlight parades, fash­ ion shows, teas, rallies, store window displays, Stamp and Bond booths, pageants, civic sings, balls and mardi gras. In each locality administration OI the one week drive rests with the local War Savings Committee which ha* worked out activities adapted to their areas. Mrs. Morgenthau, in a special message for Women At War Week, declared that the spirit of America’s pioneer women lives today more strongly than ever. “The average American woman began to rise to new heights on Sunday, Dec. Y> 1941,” Mrs. Morgenthau said. “This winter the average IUnerican woman will be spending less In order to save more to invest in War Bonds and Stamps. She will not, please God, ever have to fire a gun or fly a bomber. But she will, please God, always do everything she can to help buy anything—and ihe best of every­thing—that fires or flies or floats in this terrible war.” During women At War Week volunteer War Bond sales­women ViU wear an armband similar to me one being at­tached to the sleeve otMrs. Henry Morgenthan, Jr.,Iwltos Harriet Elliott.

Wbat the Psalmist|!means here, I think, when he appeals to us to magnify the Lord, is to extol, to laud, to commend, to glorify, to praise. And what he means by telling us to "exalt his name,” is to lift it np. The masses of man­ kind minimize the Lord by living sinful, wicked lives, multitudes of whom take His sacred and holy namt in vain. No man magnifies nor exalts the name of the Lord wheiL he lives in sin. Christians extoi, land, commend, glorify and praise the Lord, and lift up His name before the world by their godly lives, and the wav they speak of Him ond about Him. Wbat a wonderful thing it is to magnify the Lord and exalt His name before the world! He is so good to us until we should never cease to praise Him, glorify Him, exialt Him. We should do this trim day to day as we go abont our duties and responsibilities of life. We should let our fellows know that we love Him, and great­ ly appreciate His goodness to us. His blessings upon us are many, many indeed, therefore we ought to continually magnify and exalt Htm When we arise each morning we should praise Him for His watch­ ful care over us during the night, and for sleep and rest. We should praise Him for the light of a new pay, and then spend some time in earnest, sincere prayer for His gui­ dance and protection and for the blessings we shall need for the day, asking Htm to also make us a bles sing to others. We should linger in His presence in prayer each day that we may renew our strength tor the labors, toils, battles, con­ flicts, duties and responsibilities of the day. And when night comes we should humbly bow and thank Him for taking care of ns, for bringing us through the day, and then pray for His protection thru the night. We should continually worship and adore Him in prayer, praise and thanksgiving. If our health is good we should thank and praise Him for it, then use it to our good, to the good of our fellowmen, and for the glory of God. What a wonderful blessing is good health! Everybody should take care of their health, never a- busing it by bad and injurious hab­ its. But if one’s health is poor he should thank and praise God that it is no worse, and pray that He may Testore the health,, if it be His will and for Hia glory. However, if one has to go through Iiie in poor health he should continually magnify the Lord and exalt his Holy name for all His goodness otherwise. If werhave a good job—one that is honorable, and by which we can earn an honest living we should praise God for it, and go forth to do honest work. As we go about our everyday tasks and toils of life we should pray for grace, grace and more grace, and continually thank, praise and exalt the name of the Lord for what He does for us.. If there are those around ns who take His holy name in vain we should alt -the more let His praise from our hearts, souls and lips be glorious. Many of them would become ashamed .of them­ selves and quit their cursing, get under conviction and go to calling uDon the Lord for mercy and par­ don. If the good wife is burdened with many cares and toils, duties and responsibilities in the home, and things go hard with her, and may. be oftentimes go wrong,- it will greatly 'ighten her load, brighten ELECTION TH IEV ES The state board of elections met in Raleigh last week and threshed out the charge of election fraud and thievery in the recent, election in Watauga connty. The Democrats claimed they had elected practically all of their county ticket with the exception of Republican sheriff, but the state board instructed the Wa­ tauga board to throw out all frau­ dulent nnd invalid ballots and to change its certification of votes the candidates received accordingly. This means that the Republicans elected their county ticket. The state board found that the names of 90 persons had been ad­ ded to the poll books since the elec tion and that these 90 persons did not vote, and "it is doubtful that most of the names so added are the names of existing people.'* That registration books in Boone precinct, at which the disputed bal lots were counted, contain 1,500 more names than there are adult persons in Boone precinct. That the precinct registrar did not check the names of voters a gainst registration books unless the: vote was challenged. That a number of students of Appalachian Stale Teachers Col lege, "unregistered or improperly registered by other persons than themselves with the knowledge of certain members of the faculty, were carried to the polls and voted in the election.” That “the names of 20 persons are on the poll hooks as having vo ted twice at Boone precinct in this election,” That of the absentee ballots- vot - ed many were in names of persons who could not be found on regis. tration books, and “other equally or more serious frauds were com­ mitted in connection with absentee The state board also instructed the Watauga board to investigate and determine who was responsible for placing in the constitutional a mendment box “these fraudulent and invalid ballots” and to report to the district solicitor so “that the guilty parties may be prosecuted as provided by law.” With these facts brought out In the Watauga election, it makes us wonder if some crooked work could not have been done in other coun ties by over ze Ious Democrats who believe in rule or ruin. Ws Host that these Watauga election thieves will be prosecuted to the full ex­ tent of the law and sent to the pen­ itentiary or chain gang where they belong.

Glory to God, it’s so. All who have solvation should continually magnify and exalt the name, of the Lord. That is one wav toTceep spiritual, keep victory, keep sweet, keep prayerful, and keep looking up. When criticisms come, and we are going through persecutions, tests and severe trials, it i wonderful to pray, trust God sincerely, then praise and magnify His holy name, saying continually, “Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me bless his holy name.”—Psalm 103:1. “O mag­ nify the Lord with me, and let.us exalt his ,name together.” A bsentee V oting N eeds D octoring Raleigh —After hearing evidence of widespread fraud in the handling of absentee ballots in the November 3 general election, the state board of elections voted to recommend to Governor Broughton and to the 1943 general assembly an amendment to the absentee voting law. The board recommended to the Governor and the legislature that the abseentee ballot law “be so amended that only the voter himself can apply for and absentee ballot which must be applied for in person or bv mail and that the ballot so applied for be delivered only to the voters in per­ son or by mail.” Under interpretation of the pre­ sent law, members of the immediate family of voters can apply for and receive absentee ballots. The board was told that in some cases absentee ballots were distribut­ ed to party workers so tbat they could scour the countryside for votes. An absentee ballot law cannot exist in Nortii Carolina without pro­ ducing fraud,” commented W. A. Lucas, of Wilson, chairman of the elections board. The board also voted to recom­ mend to G vernor Briughton and the legislature passage of a “penal statute” making it “unlawful for any person other than legal custo­ dians of ballots or voters actually in the process of voting within voting enclosures or voters exercising the right of the absentee ballots to have in his possession any official ballots.” An appeal from Graham county was dismissed by the board The dispute was over counting of about 300 Democratic and 250 Republican absentee ballots. Tbe only way De­ mocrats could win in Graham, the board was told, was for the Demo­ cratic absentees to be courted and the Republican ballots to be thrown out. The countv elections board voted not to count either and the state board upheld that action. The board received a petition from Stokes countv which charged misuse of the absentee ballot, including the distribution of ballots to party work­ ers. and the ballots to party wotkers, and the board voted to send copies of the petition to Chairman A. J. Ell­ ington, of the Stokes election board, and b> Gib Mitchell, board member. The Stokes members also were also were asked asked if they desired a formal heqripg of the charges.

Fmm The Yellow Jacket This fall there are larger crops than ever In the United States, but fewer harvesters. It takes, food to win a war, and now is the time when men are needed more in the fields than in the factories. Why in the name of common sense does the Administration per­ mit war profits ranging from 30 to 300 per cent to be salted down by the contractors? Why not try to get an answer at the ballot box this fall? Keep in mind that it was the New Deal quota system that cans, ed the cut-off in sugar If you like the system vote for more New Deal ers in the next election. They love to see yo 1 dance to their music. Rendering aid and comfort to the enemy can be accomplished by jurisdictional strikes as well as whispering campaigns If you can’t understand that proposition it were time you were informing your self In California rich fields of beets were plowed under and four mil­ lion pounds of sugar lost every day by want of hands to work the crops. Why not take a chapter from Hit. ler’s book and put the Japanese to work who are sitting in the shade watching the barracks go up? We take off our hats to the fac­ tory workers, who, when bis fel­ lows were mumbling whether they should accept anything less than double time for holidays, exclaimed: “Hell, this ain’t no tea pat tyl This is war! Let’s get back to work.” Washington fumblers. please take note. The other day Congressman Ma", Democrat of Kentucky, said:- “I think this war will end in 1942 and unquestionably in 1943.” Some body ought to bore May for the simples. He’s too grqen to burn. It is well to remember tbat over three months ago FDR said he would halt inflation by stopping the rise in prices. Bnt be hasn’t. Just the same, wages, prices of farm products, raw material, the cost of living are mounting like a kite: Brother, don’t yon imagine for one minute that a GOP controlled Congress would in any way impair the war effort. It would mean wiser spending and tbat is what we must have before we canfully strut our stuff. At the ballot box and nowhere else is the power and a tbority pos­ sessed to put an end to the disrup tion and distress that labor czars have inflicted on the American peo­ ple. So now is the time for all good men to rally to the cause of true A merican independence.

House leader of that wing, resorts not only to good poli­ tics but to better statesmanship in announcing that the firot use that will be made of this increase voice will be directed against bureaucratic extravagance. The country will appreciate what­ ever the Republicans may be able to achieve in breaking up this ring of wild and wanton profligacy in domes­ tic spending. The people are being burdened with a load of taxes under which they will increasingly groan and a- gonize. So long as these revenues are be­ ing wisely and essentially used in the prosecution of the war, they have no reason to complain. Money is they cheapest ingredient that they can in­ vest in this business. But they have a right to ask and to demand of the Federal adminstra- tton that while they are being bled white in this respect, their, govern­ ment ease op on them in its tax ex­ actions for other purposes than those associated with the war effort. The Republicans will, therefore, invite the gratitude of the Ameri­ can people if they delve into these fields and correct what is generally believed to be a gross wastage both of revonues and of manpower in bu­ reaucratic management of the pub­ lic business To . what extreme limits bureau­ cratic building has gone on under the New Deal is outlined briefly in a recent issue of Time, which cites this astonishing information: "The number of men now serving in the armed forces is about 25 per cent more than in World War I. The number emploved in war indus­ try is about 10 per cent greater, but the United States uow has 2 571,500 ien and men on the Federal govern­ ment pay rol (up 280 per cent from World War I) and 3 .017.632 working for state and local governments (up 100 per cent from World Ward I.)

"They i were good friends, the three ^f tliem. K arl and Gosta both feel Henderson’s death keen­ ly^’ * The proprieties satisfied, Montaya ' put a period to the meeting, much to.; .the young men’s !relief. _ . •. .. '‘You^ haven’t visaed the ' airfield' pet, Hrl- Curtis,” Montaya said in parting^ “ You can telephone any lime it is—ah, convenient, to Ieam if Karl or Gosta is there to show you about. If you play tennis j they will beglad to have a new partner.” The tjtiree m en left. Curt settled back il^his chair, hoisted his feet, reached for his pouch. He felt faguely-. unsatisfied — and pouldn’t put hisj^finger on the reason?^ * Curtj3?as a good organizer. He put’ hisfiprogram on paper that Sun­ day nijgiit, at home, -and.made pro- digious'strides in the field during the: next two days. OnevIbig job was doubling man hours on railroad work—ballasting the main line, the pushing of two spiff Unes to feed farm s already planted or now being planted. Anofter was in putting all earth- moving machines and crews on two shifts a day, using floodlights hastily Improvised from ordinary tin dish- pans and washbasins. There, were minor m atters under the.: Chief Engineer — farmhouses, wells and windmills, furniture man­ ufacture, production of concrete Items—culvert pipe, building blocks, reinforced girders and slabs to bridge farm ditches — all coming along at a fine pace. But the really im portant jobs, the Kio Negro levee, the railroad branch lines to haul from present plantings to Tempujo three or four months from now when fruit should start to come in—these things had r dragged! The drainage ditches, too, were far behind schedule. Curt sometimes talked over his problems with Lee. This usually ampunted to a monolog, but put­ ting bothersome angles into words seemed to help. And here was some­ thing'in which Lee had a vital in­ terest. *- •ii/ was Tuesday evening. The chil­ dren had been put to bed, and Curt was lounging on the darkened ve­ randa, propped up with cushions, Lee in the curve of his arm . . His dangling left foot lazily pushed the couph-hammock back and forth. It WaSi1 the half-hour after dinner that lieyvas snatching for himself.' fhey’d held a silence for' some time, lulled by the gentle rattling of ydung palms in . the eveniiig breeze, so like rain on a tin roof. The lightning slither of a lizard dart­ ing up the screen to the wide over­ hanging eaves roused Curt. He sat > straight and reached into a hip pock­ et' for his tobacco pouch. When he spojse it was in a sober voice. ‘‘Lee, I’m worried. No, not wor­ ried-puzzled is the word. There’s something rotten going on here, and I don’t know what it is. I'm afraid of Stepping into something unaware. Like Mitchell might have. If I knew what it was, I could steer clear.” "JVliat—what do you m ean, Jeff?” VYou rem arked about the coinci­ dence.of those three deaths. I didn’t inteiia:to go over this with you, but you’re level-headed and whatever it. Is f ye got us into, you’re in it. You Ihould have the whole picture." “Jeff, what are you trying to say?” {I “Lee, I’m convinced - thpse three B tleaths w ere no coincidence. That (} they->were all deliberate murders. Ii. The,.’,second and third, I suspect, to V' cover up the first.” • 1TJji • "Itknew it! Zora Mitchell couldn’t possibly have committed suicide! 1 Not ,ihe Zora I used to know. But Bill iHenderson? What you told me abodt his accident . . Ciirt was silent a moment. “I know. It looked like an accident, 6ux&enough.. But Lee, last Wednes- daylBill told m e he knew who killed M itSi, arid then refused to tell me anySiing. more for fear of involving m e.'i He "poihte'dT' out my precarious position, having you jand the kids here. Said he’d wore it out him­ self^ for m e to keep hands off. Well, I wits all set to get behind-that on Saturday night, and you know what happened.” He felt Lee^ stiffen beside him, but:$he didn’t speak. Hg went on. "You didn’t knowi I d ^ n ’t tell you, but Zora Mitchell sent: m e an urgent note warning me Bot Ito come to Tierra Libre, not to fain* my family. I got it in New Orleans and like a fool didn’t look at that batch of mail readdressed to us until we’d dropped the pilot and were out in the Gulf. Then it was too late to do anything about it. I kept quiet, -not wanting to alarm you. I intended to talk with her first chance I got. But she—died.” He read fear in.Lee’s voice when she finally said, ‘'Jeff, whai^are you leading up to?” “I don’t know; :Lee, I don’t know. I’ve been going over this business until I’m dizzy! Look. Here are sev­ eral possibilities.' fcisten and ’ give’ m e your reactions.” "Go on.” ■ "First, Bill Henderson knew who killed Mitchell, and why. That ‘why’ is somehow important, from the way Bill stressed it. He was done away with before he could pass it on. Zora knew something, and she died., Well, these two deaths would seem to be for the purpose of covering up Mitchell’s m urder.$ Thei>, ,the crux Of5IJie Whole IiiisinissSt Is why Mitch was killed. Was it really a personal grudge, or was it something deep­ er?” He' paused. “Go on,” Lee said, in a small far­ away voice. “Well, Mitch was no fool, yet at the rate the work was going here, the coming rainy season would have flooded the. whole vallpy again. The railroad and; all the (planting done this year would have been washed out!” "Jeff, what are you driving at?” “ You think Montaya had him killed?” “Just this. You’ve read my con­ tract. Pretty stiff one. I’m - abso­ lute boss in my department—practi­ cally—so long as I follow the plans laid down. Well, if Mitchell had a contract like mine, and we can as­ sume he did have, and if he was deliberately slowing up the work, then his death-was very convenient for Montaya.” ..“Sabotage! You’re advancing that as the reason? You think Montaya had him killed?” “I don’t say that, honey,” Curt an swered doggedly.^ “It simply seems a possible answer.” "Well,” Lee replied slowly, “I know you-don’t like Senor Montaya. I don’t, either. But that’s simply personal taste on our part. We have no reason to dislike him. Or have we?” “No.” “It’s an ironclad contract you have, sure—for Montaya. There’s an escape clause which would let him cancel the contract if you should turn out incompetent or un­ satisfactory. Surely he could haye got rid of Mitchell in a case of sabotage.” “Sabotage is difficult to prove sometimes!” Curt exclaimed. “For example, I’ve found Mitchell was making’the dragline men use cables too slender for the job. They kept breaking. : Every break slowed up the work a little more. There are many , ways he could, or I could, slow tip the work without enabling Montaya- to invoke that clause you mention. "That clause isn’t as elastic as you think. - A court, in an ensuing breach of contract case against the company had Mitchell been let out, might have obliged Montaya to pay heavy damages. Not only for re­ m ainder of salary under contract, but punitive dam ages for injury to reputation.” “I see what you m ean,” Lee said slowly. “ But no, Jeff, I ,can’t see Montaya having Mitchell killed for any such simple reason. And two other m urders, too!” “One planned m urder,” Curt pointed out. "The other two were follow-ujis.” Lee said nothing. . “Well,1 another point. -Montaya’s put this Emilio Vargas on my tail as a1 bodyguard. Lee,. I never had any. trouble with native labor—or any labor. Kid ’em along and you can get anything done. I don’t need a bodyguard. Montaya may or may not be involved in these m urders— either way, I can understand his ,u. seR -vicE Vi wanting to hush them up with the least trouble—but at least lie does know what’s behind them. Other­ wise, why this Emilio yargas?” . There w as another silence. Then, “You say you had several possibili­ ties,” ' Lee reminded him. - / “Yes. Well, let’s go back to .Mitch­ ell. The fact rem ains that Mitcneli was slowing up the work. ThatJs conclusive. But why? Was he real­ ly working for C. A. T. or for Asso­ ciated, say, to prevent rising com­ petition?” “Well-1, in that case Montaya might have reason to kill him. Btit Jeff, I simply can’t see Mitchell as that kind of . snake-in-the-grass. W hatever we might say about his social graces, he was certainly hon­ est about his work. That’s my idea." “Mine, too. AU‘right, could Old Man Moore have ordered; it done? You know big business has-few scru­ ples when the. m atter oi money' and' competition is concerned.” Lee shook her head. Light from the room beyond faintly outlineia the two on the couch. It was a ,posi­ tive shake. “No. I wouldn’t have put it past him if this were twenty years ago. He’s older now, more careful and sly. And I don’t believe he's that much concerned today about what competition he’d get from this out­ fit.” ■ , “It m ay be pretty stiff competi­ tion, Lee! Things look mighty good here for bananas.” "Even so,” she answered. “No, I can’t accept that.” “Well,” , he went on; “suppose Montaya—this is his project, lock, stock, and barrel—suppose Montaya has a personal enemy determined to wipe him out, who goes to work on his Chief Engineer as the most im­ portant single factor for the pur­ pose.” She thought this over. - “That theory’s full of holes. Why wouldn’t' such an enemy go after Montaya direct?” “Make him suffer piecemeal?.” Curt suggested. “ Bit by bit?” “No. That wouldn’t explain Mitch­ ell’s slowing up the work. That’s an important angle, from all you’ve said?” “I know.” “Darling,” said Lee, troubled, “we’re right back where we started. I can see your point in wanting to know more. But oh, Jeff, darling, be careful. Don’t do anything that would put you in danger. I just couldn’t bear it if anything should— should happen to you. And we’ve the children.” He pulled her to him. “Don’t worry, sweetheart,” he- said, his words muffled in the thick­ ness of her hair. “I’m no fool. ..I shan’t stick my; neck out. I can't, forget you and the kids. But I can’t promise to drop the m atter completely. I’ve got to know what’s behind Mitch’s m urder. I’ve got to,” Curt insisted, ’ “to protect myself- from a possible sim ilar danger. I can’t help feeling that Montaya’s in back of all this, but I don’t' see myself in any danger because T m too valuable to him. He has too1 much at stake. - For proof of that, there’s the bodyguard he’s assigned me . . .” ' Yes, there was the bodyguard. To irk'C urt more and more. Though Montaya may have had Curt’s safe­ ty in view, Curt also felt himself to be tinder rigid surveillance. Not a chance could he find to get in a word privately with Slats Monahan. The following day Curt took to the field again. He m ade a fast trip to the levee camp, saw his plans for speeding the work were coming right along, tried again to get Monahan aside. It was no go. But Vargas did have his uses. Not only did he relieve 1Curt of many minor details, but he kept an eye on his well-being, too. He saw to it there were lunches and vacuumed drinks when they’d be too far from cam p or village. And on this trip, when Curt scratched his- arm bad­ ly on a poisonous puncture-weed, Emilio was close a t hand to drag out a first-aid kit and swab it with mercurochrome. He also insisted on returning to San Alejo earlyv that the wound might be better cared for. The m ercurochrome had little ef­ fect and the flesh about the scratch swelled. Reaching San Alejo in the middle of1 the afternoon. Curt-un­ loaded himself of m usette bag, field glasses, pistol and cartridge belt, as he piled out oif the .motorcar at the station. ‘TH "go -on to the ’hbspital1 from here,” he told Emilio. ‘‘You can drop these at the office for m e. I’U see you in the morning.” ' . Leaving the doctor’s offlcev Curt took a turn in the corridor by mis­ take and found himself in the patitt used by convalescents'. Since h* hadn’t yet ' had a full look around, he decided to push on farther. -, The patio was .squared by hospital and- service buildings, open ait the rear com ers. Wandering out one ol these Openings Curt found himsell at the brink of a sh a rp y descend­ ing ravine. From here he had a much wider view of the airfield than obtainable from , the railroad. There' were m en on. the field and both planes were in front of their hangar- He pulled a. sour face at though; of the two pilots, but mused, “We’re here,together for a long tim e. If I can break them down, so much th* bettej* Cost nothing to try. B* pleasanter all around.” (TO BE CONTINUED * - , ; A SERIES OF rSPECIAl. AfiTIClES aYT^E LEADINO w a r Correspondents ' Wendell Willkie and Global Politics £ g y fr a n k Gervasi (W NU Feature—Through special arrangement with Cottiers weekly) Wendell Willkie’s recent visit to the Middle E ast was the second of two m em orable events during the last days of August and early Sep­ tember.' • The first, of course, was the defeat of , Rommel’s Afrika Korps. This, among other things, caused stocks .to rise on the Cairo Bourse. V-. Th'e victory over Rommel re- moyed . an1 im m ediate threat to Eg^pt and. at least put our side in a position to resum e the initiative— as ..they say in treatises on war. The;enemy lost a considerable quan- tity 'of men and weapons. T hem yth of Ropimel’s invincibility was -de­ stroyed, jn a.brief hot battle which w as: over 'almost ' before anybody kn.ew- it liiad {begun. • It was as brief as it w as hbt and almost as destruc­ tive to the German w ar machine as a short circuit in a generator. There’s no tendency here, how­ ever, for the British to overestim ate the dam age done to the Afrika Korps or to underestim ate Rommel’s abil­ ity to recuperate. Two Events Collide. The two events—the victorious battle and Willkie’s arrival-*-coincid- ed so closely that they becam e con­ fused. /The newspaper boys hardly had tim e to cover the first event before it telescoped into the second, and they were very busy with the second. The blitz visit was cramm ed ;with statem ents, interviews, recep­ tions, appearances before still and Imovie cam eras, radio talks, calls on diplomats and kings, conferences with politicians, soldiers and more diplomats. Short as it was, the correspond­ ents worked harder and longer dur­ ing Willkie’s visit than at any time while;-away from the fighting front. Willkie shook up their livers. He sassed the censors, made for­ m al diplomatic calls in a lounge suit instead of the sacred striped pants and . tail coat of tra.dition. H e m anaged to im part to nearly ev­ erything he did an atm osphere of clambake. Censorship, motivated by the sheer necessity for keeping Berlin in the dark as: to Willkie’s views about political and m ilitary af- fairs in the Middle E ast, prevented details, of his visit from becoming known. - This article is an attem pt to supply some of those missing de­ tails. In any other setting, the breezy politician m ight have seemed a heroic figure, rem arkable for his frankness and sincerity. In the Mid­ dle E a st,, however, with its tradi­ tions of reticence, its compunctions of. secrecy, in political and. military- m atters, . Willkie’s act didn’t .quite come off'; , . He was^ usually out of ’character arid seejned, most the tim e ,a huge and handsome bull in a store full of porcelain images. Every tim e he moved, you wanted to warn him that he might break something. - : Willkle, Im age Breaker. He did some good but he also broke a few images. The dam age oc­ curred despite the presence in his cruise crew .of Joseph Barnes, soft- spoken form er newspaper m an who now is an official in the Office of W ar Information. Joe w as the con­ science of the party, , a sm all voice which kept saying: "B e careful, Wendell! Somebody m ight be try­ ing to sell you a Bill of goods. Watch w hat you say and rem em ber this is a British battlefield and they are the bosses here.” Calls on King Faronk. lie... didn’t - prevent Willkie, how- ever,--froin calling on His M ajesty King Farouk of Egypt in an ordinary suit, or from having him self photo­ graphed in a sloppy bush shirt, bag­ gy pants: and an outsize sun helmet, with , Germ an .prisoners who stood rigidly at attention and regarded him with considerable; coolness. Willkie’s first plunge into Middle E ast affairs happened in the m arbled hall of the impressive head­ quarters of the United'States, forces in North" Africa, formerly the home Of-& wealthy. Egyptian family. The actiye and passive-press, uniformed and ununifOrmed; m ale and female,’ American and foreigjn, were there about seventy istrong,. Even the Times of London eam e; so did Brit­ ish and American censors. .- Willkie, in a summer-weight sin- gle-breasted^ suit, his pants belt tight f around his middle, his hair rumpled, and'looking very much a m an of the people, in his white shirt and un­ rem arkable necktie, sat on a chair before a table set on the first land­ ing of a staircase that swept upward behind him. There was a shaft .of light on his face from an open door. He reassured us that the Yankees were doing well. Then he turned prophet. He an­ nounced that, in his opinion, Hitler w as ’way out on a limb, and that the tide. had turned against the enemy. FII LID rsE Roger B . Whitman—WNU F eatures. FIRECLAY FLUE U NlNO MAX FREVENT TROUBLE ITH the coming of winter I can ’ ’ look forward to m any inquiries on the formation of creosote in chim­ neys. This is always the result of using wood as a fuel. The gums and dried sap in the woocTare vapor­ ized by the heat and start up. the chimney with Uae xmoke. Should the upper part of the chimney be cool, the vapors-will be condensed, and the black liquid that form s will coat the inside of the flue. If there is no fireclay flue lining, the liquid will soak into the bricks, and m ay come through1 on the other side. Bricks that arje soaked with creosote can­ not be cleaned; the only way to get rid of it is to rebuild the upper part of the !chimney, in doing which a fireclay flue lining should be pro­ vided. There will be no trouble with creosote when the chimney is heat­ ed for its entire length. However, this m eans running a hot fire a t all tim es, which m ay not be pos­ sible. One sure way to prevent the formation of creosote is. to use coal as a fuel instead of wood, although the occasional use of a wood burning fireplace will not Riake trouble. Warped Floor. Question: The floor of m y base­ m ent room is oak, laid on a founda­ tion of cement, a coating of tar, and a few sleepers. This is its first season, and the floor is warping. Will it eventually be destroyed? No wa­ ter ever reached the floor itself. W hat can be done? Answer: Dampness is reaching the floor from underneath, probably because the coating of tar did not provide sufficient waterproofing. In addition to the tar, the under floor should have been covered with a layer of building felt or tar paper that would block the passage of moisture. The under -floor is laid on the ground, and picks up moisture from it. Without sufficient water­ proofing, the moisture passes through, and in tim e will destroy the wood floor. Your only remedy is 'to take up the wood flooring and to relay it after the proper waterproof­ ing of the floor underneath. Color of Floor Question: In selecting inlaid lino­ leum for m y kitchen, the pattern that I chose is much too light. With two sm all children and a sm all kitchen I sometimes have to^wash the floor twice a day. I am told that varnish w ears off and turns linoleum yellow. I can’t wax the surface, because the children might fall. What can you suggest? Answer: One possibility would be to use runners on the traffic lanes; something light enough to be easily shaken, and that would be non-skid. Another possibility would be to finish the floor with a good grade of floor enamel. This should be stippled in two tones; light and dark tan, for example. In preparing for it, all traces of wax and grease should first be removed, for paint would not hold over them. Wood Lined Walls Question: I have heard of build­ ing house w alls'with a lining of 16- inch logs of various sizes, laid in plaster or cem ent and strengthened by brickwork a t the corners. The length of the Togs would determine the thickness of the walls. W hat do you think of the idea? Answer: Leakage of water into the walls will lead to rotting, which in tim e would take place with even the m ost resistant of woods. Also, there would be the probability of attack by term ites and other insects. The advantage, of course, would be insulation. But you could get this with more advantages by following more modern methods. Hot W ater Radiator Question: I have hot w ater heat only on m y first floor, and would like to put a radiator in an upstairs bedroom. The expansion tank is now in one of the downstairs closets. Is it true that I would have to move this upstairs and higher than the radiator? Answer: It would be possible to change your present ‘‘open system " to a closed system with the expan­ sion tank alongside the boiler; but it would be simpler and much less expensive to move the, present ex- passion tank upstairs, for it is true that it m ust be higher than the radiator. Swedish Finish . 1 Question: How can I -match an un­ finished pine bookcase to Swedish modern furniture? Answer: The wood should first be bWadhed with wood bleaching liq­ uid, 'to be had a t large paint stores. Direstions should be carefully fol­ lowed. After this preparation, rub down with fine sandpaper to get as smooth a surface as possible, and then put on one or two coats of clear lacquer. Stuck Windows. Question: My house w as recently painted on the inside, and the paint has stuck the windows shut. What can I do so that they can be opened? Answer: Run a putty knife into the joint between, the edges of the sashes and the sides of the grooves in which they slide. The sashes should have a little side motion, and you can break the paint by forcing them first one way and then the other. One way to do this is to drive the blade of a heavy screw­ driver. between the top of a sash and the bottom of its groove. Above That Friend—You’re getting corpu­ lent. Soldier—Corpulent, huh!

Only a few years ago we sent less than a dozen Records to that postoffice T aday we are sending nearly ten tim es as many. T he people in that com m unity like our paper, and we like them , for no better people are to be found anywhere than those around that little town. T he m a­ jority of them are poor so far as this w orld's goods are concerned, but they are as honest as the day is long, and they live in peace with them selves and their fellowmen School C hildren T o H ave H olidays The schools this year will close only ten days for the Christmas holidays, from Friday, Dec. i8th, to Monday, Dec. 28th.

Dec. 10. 1942. Dear Mr. Stroud:—Tbis heinc my birth day, I am enclo ing yon Irog skin to re­new my. subscription to Davie Record. I am 86 years old today. I can recall many things that have taken place during these yevrs. I remember the days of the Civil War, the Spanish American War, World War No I, and now the war of all wars. I am hoping to see the end of this one. In thinking over the things of the past in old Davie. I can recall when there were four muddy lanes leading to and through Mocksville ln those days there were split rail fences on both sides of the road. In winter weather it was almost impossible to get to town with a load People would come to town muddy all over, having to walk and drive to lighten the load, and many times would have to push at the wheel to get out ot a mnd-hole. I remember a number of the old town fathers like Braxton Bailey, who was the chairman of the board of countv commis sinners: Ephram Gaither. Register of Deeds, Mart Chaffin, Marsh Clement, Bill Weant, C. C, Sanford. Bill. Dart Clement and number of others. Sioce the passing ot these fathers, the town fathers are men like A. T. Grant, R. B Sanford Arthur Daniel. John Sanford, W. F Stonestreet, J. T. AngelI J-1Frank Hendrix, Bnone Stonestreet and a number of other good men of the town. These fathers have a much better town to ’ start- with. Four paved highways leading to and through a beautiful town with paved streets and a consolidated 'school "with many places of business, a , heppy: aud prosperous people It is honed that "when these fathers pass out they will leave to those that come after them a nice little city with much business and prosperity, and no talk of war, and that The Davie Recnd will still continue and grow better from year to year, and the editor have plenty of sweet potatoes and locust beer.G. L. WHITE. M r*. J e rry P °tts Mrs. Jerry Potts. 90, died Sunday at her home on R 2 Surviving are three sons, A. W, W. T. and J H.

G u n P a tto n , T a n k rocco as the H e r d in g C h a m p io n ed States forces there. The general, who earned his two-gun title, as it will be explained later, was educat­ ed in the Classical School for Boys at Pasadena, Calif., before he went to West Point. There he may have learned of Hannibal’s elephants. At any rate, he was out early as a tank specialist, commanded the first tank brigade in the First World war, was severely wounded and lavishly dec­ orated, and thereafter became the champion tank-herder of the U.S.A. He is now commander of the first, armored corps. He was in command of the landing and mopping up op­erations on the African Atlantic coast. At 57, he is bull-voiced, hard, mus­ cular and fit, his two guns still in his belt, and with nothing written off but his hair. That the Pasadena lotus-land of the Rose Bowl and the dolce far niente should turn out from a classical school the toughest, rpotin-tootin’ general of our high- command is something to put down in the book. As to the two guns, Colonel Patton, with General Pershing’s punitive expedition into -Mexico, was chasing Villa’s men through the chapparal. He canght up with CandeIario Cervantes and a band of exceedingly tough hombres. It came down to a elose-range shooting match, with the colonel backed up against a wall, whamming away at the mounted Cervantes troop, with two .45-caliber revolvers. He emptied them both, and as he started to reload, bullets came so close that they hemstitched his silhouette on the wall. He got both guns working and dropped Cervantes. He rode happily back to headquarters. He was the first officer assigned to the tank corps in the First World war, and organized and command­ ed the 304th brigade. On September 25, 1918, at Bogais, he led six Amer- ican and two French companies into action—with 22 tanks. He was _wounded. For this and other such In this war, instructions and reports, not only from plane to base but from ship to shore and field com­ m ander to officers, are sent by wireless.

DRAW a long breath of relief, you lads who secretly adore Greer Garson—with her m ar­ riage to Richard Ney postponed until after the w ar there m ay still be a chance for you! At least, at the mom ent there is; one never knows what to be sure of when a Hollywood m arriage is concerned. At any rate, as of right now, this one is delayed; seems, according to Lieutenant Ney’s an­nouncement, that there was no place where they could be married -until 10 o’clock, when the time came, so they decided to wait. RKO is launching a new series of feature pictures, all about a rookie, using a new comedy team. First will come “Adventures of a Rookie” ; after that it’ll be a case of “Every­ where the army goes, the rookie’s sure to go.” As a direct result of Margo’s act­ ing on the CBS Caravan Hour she’s the first feminine narrator in movies —in RKO’s “Women at War,” one of several short subjects in RKO’s MARGO “This Is America” series. As a re­ sult of her charm, she was chosen queen of the Army Air Corps in At­ lantic City. And because she want­ed to so much, Mexican-born Margo recently became an American citi­ zen. M rs.

But it’s hardly likely that he can take tim e off from the arm y for the role. Seven years ago in November Fred MacMurray made his first pic­ ture on the Paramount lot, playing opposite Claudette Colbert in “The Gilded Lily.” Remember? He does —there he was in an important role, and nervous doesn’t half describe the way he felt. Today they’re co- starring in a gay comedy called “No Time for Love”; she’s a lady and he’s a sandhog. — *— Ed (“Archie”) Gardnerhas turned down Metro’s overtures to make a celluloid version of the air’s “Duf­ fy’s.” He’s working hard to bring his new radio program up to the top of the list before signing up with Hollywood execs for whom he. last worked as a radio director. Joseph CaUeia, of “ For Whom the BeU ToUs,” is head of the Malta War ReUef organization in this coun­ try ; his parents, who are English ahd Spanish, Uve in M alta, and recently he heard that the house in which he was bora has been blasted to bits. — *— With our second wartim e Christ­ m as approaching, American , toy , m anufacturers are faced with prior- 1 ities.

C- Designers’ Interest Focused On Varied Neckline Treatment By CHERIE NICHOLAS IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S u n d a y !CHOO l L esson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.Of Th* Uoody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by W estern New spaper Union. I 5Vsi a f~)N E year it’s sleeves, another it '- 'i s apt to be pockets; then again' it’s skirts or bodice silhouettes, or m aybe it’s new fangled trimmings toward which style creators focus their genius and imagination. This year it happens to be versatile and • beguiling necklines which are mak­ ing front page fashion news. So, if you 'would keep pace with the cur­ rent: mode, watch necklines! F lattery’s the word when it comes to the necklines that grace new win­ ter fashions. What’s more, you will find the new necklines so amazingly versatile you will be sure to find a type individualized to suit just you. Wiey run the gam ut from V-necks that go to a new low in cut and U-necks (deep and low round cuts being ultra sm art) to high “neck­ lace” necklines; from ruffle trim m ed, low cut versions (ruffle trim s are “the latest”) to the grace- - . ful cowl drapes which have come back again after several seasons’ absence. It is also fascinating to note that '/,■ yokes are adding to the neckline story this season. Decorative yokes of every description are in the win­ ter-fashion picture, but the yokes that are m ost exciting and lovely are: the sheer and transparent types which at a distance give the impres­ sion that there really is no yoke at all.:but rather a more or less low cut neckline. The last word in after- five fashions is the short length blade dance gown that has a deep yoke both back and front of filmy lace or chiffon starred with spar­ kling beads or sequins. In after­ noon frocks fancifully designed yokes appear in pastel chiffons or contrast m aterials. The fashions illustrated are pre­ sented with a view of calling atten­ tion to several new and fascinating trends in necklines. Note the glam­ orous dinner dress below to the left In the group. Here, polished to gleaming beauty, crinkly black taf­ feta falls in rustling, shining folds to the floor. The perfectly charm ­ ing deep and wide-cut sweetheart neckline is encrusted with rich Venise lace, gently sprinkled with sparkling sequins. The tiny Venise tricone with its cunning black veil completes an entrancing picture. Designers are all enthusiasm over Venise lace, as m ay be readily seen in the lavish use they are making of it with stately velvet or crepe, taffeta or moire for evening gowns. Note, above to the left, a striking black dinner gown. It is styled with a peplum of glittering sequins, which m akes it outstanding. The fact that its plunging V-neckline is cut to a new low gives it definite style prestige. Textured crepe of rayon yarn is used for the stunning street-lengtb dinner gown shown below to the right in the group. This dress is typical of the new vogue for low-cut square necklines. Im portant, too, is the fact that this neckline is repeat­ ed in a back decolletage. A girdle of black velvet gives a A nart and dressy accent. That most attractive black crepe afternoon dress centered above in the picture is convincingly chic in that it demonstrates the new trend toward street-length black dresses that are enhanced .with beguiling yokes. The yoke in this instance is of baby blue chiffon (it would be just as sm art In flesh-colored pink). It has, as you will note, a festoon of bead work across the base of the yoke which m akes it all the m ore prettily feminine. To the right above a sheath of black velvet, molding the figure, has a yoke of pink m arquisette which gives a nude effect. P alepink satin outlines the deep decolletage and flares over the shoulder making a thoroughly lovely silhouette. A large rose of singular beauty adds dram a. A tiny calot of black velvet with veil and pink feathers m akes this a charming dinner costume.

You can get these blouses in black as informal or as formal as you wish. A sm art type for practical daytime w ear is a but­ ton-back blouse in w arm wool jer­ sey. This type m akes a grand foil for costume jewelry. Then there is the long-torso black satin blouse or the waist-depth blouse o f black sat­ in to w ear with your suit. To get much effect a t tittle ex­ pense invest in a black street length crepe skirt and one in a form al floor length. With the form er a sheer black lace sequined blouse m akes a handsome afternoon costume. Wear the sam e blouse with your forma] skirt. It’s Orders! Many factories are banning the wearing of finery, specifically men- tioning high heeled shoes, nail pol­ ish and jewelry. Accorfflng to an official notice in a leading indus­ trial plant, standard feminine wear will consist of a short sleeved blouse or jacket, dark slacks and low- heeled shoes. R ed Shoes Smooth suede shoes in deep, rich red have gone on dress parade for Winter. Theshoes are often matched to the gloves. I How shall we keep Christmas this year of our Lord 1942? That is a. question which is PressediIiome to all of us by trying circumstances, growing wickedness—yes, by count­ less things which try to tell Us that there just % not any use to try to keep Christmas as usual this year. Well, then let’s m ake it unusual! Let’s have it more genuinely Christ­ mas-like than ever. That’s what we and this weary world need. The way to do it is to make this more than ever a Christm as centering in Christ. Doing that will mean that this year we will I. Keep Christmas With Joy (w . 8-1 0 ). “M erry Christmas” may sound a little fiat and empty this year, for there may be little to create m erri­ ment. “We wish you happiness at Christm as!” will probably not fit very well, because happiness ^de­ pends on what happens—and a good many of the wrong kind of things have happened to most (perhaps all) of us. But joy—that is quite another m at­ ter. We do not tire of the reminder that joy is something which God gives in the heart and which' goes so far down into the depths of m an’s soul that the surface tem pests of life cannot disturb it. Remember. P aul who was "sorrowful” 'on the surface “yet ever rejoicing” in heart (H Cor. 6 :1 0 ). The ground of our Christmas joy is the good tidings-of Christ’s com­ ing. That has always been the real heart of Christmas joy, but often it has been obscured by tinsel and trimmings. This year let’s get back to essentials. And let it be said that this does not m ean that we are going to omit all the precious little customs and pleasantries which have had their in­ nocent part in making this a holiday season. No indeed; let us .have them all, or as many as we can, but m ake the heart of it all Chris­ tian joy. * ’1; II. Keep Christmas With Assur­ ance (w . 11-14). With so many other things (many of which we had foolishly regarded as perm anent and sure) failing us, it is a delight to have something sure to tie to, and we have it this Christmas. Christ the Saviour has come! Not only do we know that He was bom, Io these m any years ago, as the Babe in the manger in Bethle­ hem town, but we know that He still lives! He was born, died for our sins, w as raised for our justification, ever lives to intercede for us, and He is one day to come again. The evidence for all this is plentiful and satisfying, and gives us abun­ dant ground for the keeping of Christmas even this year in assur­ ance. This thought leads us to our third , point. We have joy and assurance in order that we m ay III. Keep Christmas As a Testi­ mony (w . 15-20). . Having found the Christ, the shep­ herds “made known abroad” (v. 17) the good news. They returned “glorifying and praising God” (v. 2 0 ). They, too, lived in a time of great darkness. They were part of the people of whom the prophet said: “The people that walked in dark­ ness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined” (Isa. 9:2). That light was Christ, the “light of the world.” There could be no m ore appro­ priate tim e to testify to the world, whose lights have failed, that we keep Christmas because it tells of the coming into this world of the unfailing Light, the One who said of Himself: “I am the light of the world” (John 9:5). Some day, if Christ should tarry, the world will return to a m easure of sanity. One of the realities it will face is that the tem poral and m aterial is transitory,, that a de­ pendence on them is certain to-dis­ appoint. The spiritual and the eter­ nal will then have new opportunity to commend itself to the hearts of mem That is why we want to keep Christm as this year, as a ringing, joyous testimony to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The w riter of these notes does not olten hear from his readers, scat­ tered all over the continent (yes, and in forfign lands), but he counts them all as his friends. He prays for them , and counts it a joy to serve them through these lessons. So, since they are his friends, he says to every one of them who sees these lines: “May God m ake this a blessed Christmas. Through the clouds of trying circumstances may you see His face. Above the noisy clam or of this world m ay you hear the angel’s song. And m ay the joy of the Lord fill your soul this Christ­ m as Day!” Jellies Lend Their Sparkle to Christmas Presents!

Jelly-making in winter? Yes, in­ deed. Chances are that you put up a ’ lot of fruit'juice during the sum­ m er—without sugar—and now you have saved enough from your sugar ration to m ake up a few batches of jelly.

They would padlock its doors and send our children goose- stepping in search of new gods. They would substitute pagan rites for the simple, sustaining beauty of our commemoration of the birth of Christ. So today America is at war—a war we!re going to win. We are determined that our church bells will never be stilled; that every American shall have freedom to worship God. in his own way; that Christmas and the spirit of Christmas shall live. That is the solemn pledge of fighting Americans on the war fronts. That is the solemn pledge of working Americans on the home front. That is the solemn pledge of the Southern Railway Sys­ tem and its officers and employees.- To its ful­ fillment we-have dedicated all of our transporta­ tion services and facilities, gratefully putting war transportation needs ahead of every other trans­ portation need. This year,- we Have carried about two million ■ men in uniform; almost one million in 3,366 spe-; rial trains; another half million in 13,174 extra, cars on regular trains; and still another half' million traveling on the low furlough fares granted to all members of Uncle Sam’s arm«t forces. This year, we have operated 1,592 extra sec­ tions of our regular trains, to take care of over­ flow crowds. This year, we have handled more tons of freight than we ever handled in all our half-century of service. We have done the job so smoothly and so efficiently as to bring the highest praise from government and army officers, for most of this huge tonnage is war freight. Above all, we have kept plugging away, day and night, to fulfill the railroad industry’s solemn pledge "to meet to the full the demands of com­ merce and the needs of national defense.” So far we have met these needs "to die fulL” And we will continue to meet them to the full— if they can be met by the ultimate in devotion, courage, resourcefulness and human strength. For we know that the world will enter upon a happier and a brighter era when Victory comes—an era in which there will be a new concept of the majesty of the soul and the real meaning of "peace, good will toward men.” That is worth fighting for!

Regardless of all the mighty e vents which have taken place thru- out the history of the world, and the greaf events of today, as the Christmas season comes on we turn our thoughts back to the manger where our Saviour was born over nineteen centuries ago. Again we delight to read: "And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrap* ped him in swaddling clothes, and laid’him in a manger; because there was no room for him In the inn And there were in the same coun­ try shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock bv night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round a- bout them; and they were sore a- fratd. And the angel said unto them. Fear not: for behold, I bring you go< d tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savionr, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling ctothes, lying In a manger. And suddenly there was with the ang»l a multi, tude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Gtorv to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward msn. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone a- way from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us go now even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us, And they came with baste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying In a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was )o<d them con­ cerning the child. And all they that beard it wondered at those things which were told tbem by the shepheids. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered tbem in her heart. And the shepherds re­ turned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had beard and seen, as it was told unto tbem.” Loke 2:7 20. Today, in this sinful, wicked, war. torn , world, we can look back to the manger with joy and happi­ ness, because we know that our blessed Saviour was born there to redeem us from our sins, sanctify us, and prepare us for a better, brighter world than this. In spite ot all the trouble and heartache of the world today, we thank and praise God for the wonderful Brince.of Peace.” He is your Saviour and mine. He comforts our hearts, fills and thrillsour souls with His sweet peace and presence, and assures us that He has gone to prepare a place for us, and that He is coining to receive us unto Him­ self. We are looking forward to this. He is coming again. (His in truth, loving and serving Him, knowing that He loves us with an undying love. The Christ of Bethlehim is mak­ ing intercession for us today at the right band of the Father on high. He knows all.ab. ut our tests and trials, our heartaches and sighs, our sufferings and temptations. He knows our infirmities. We hears and answers our prayers., He com forts our hearts and souls. Our lives are precious in His divine sight. He draws night to us as we draw nigh unto Him It is a glo­ rious privilege we have of nestling up close to His precious side as the storms and tests of life rage about us and hear ETimsayto us: “Peace, be rtill.” He can calm the troub­ led heart, the agitated mind and the storm-tossed soul. As the bil lows of evil roll all around us, saints are looking for Him. They T h e W ritin g O n T h e W aH , The writing on the wall is every­ where now, for anyone to see—re­ gimentation. Regimentation 0 f jobs, of income, of living condi­ tions, of time, thought, and action. . This is one of the demands of total war in seeking the greatest efficiency and production from a- vailable man and woman power. How to so gear output that our standards of living at home will re­ main “American” and our armed forces will be supplied on time with all the unprecented needs of global warefare is the problem. In theory, it is protection through equalization, "temporary” control of individual activity for the conn try’s good in time of emergency. "While our people willingly ac­ cept "temporary” restrictions as a necessity of war, the thing 10 re­ member is that word '‘temporary.” We must not drift into a mental at­ titude that will pave the way for permanent r.gimentation. That ijsn’t the kind of people we are. I What we have, what we are fight­ ing for, is our roots, growing deep into the soil of free enterprise and free thinking, and the privilege of minding our own business. That privilege is what we must go back to after the war, if freedom as we have known it is to survive in A- tnerica. T hings W o rth K now ing With reasonably experienced la­ bor it takes about 8 man hours to fell, buck, split, and pile a cord of 4-foot fuel wood To save and raise more than the average number of pigs, give care at farrowing time—provide warm brick 01 jugs of heated water in cold weather. Trouble is ahead for farmers who do not plan 1943 crop acreage and livestock production in such a way as to get the most produced with the least labor. Green freshly cut wood usually requires 6 month to a year of sea soning to make satisfactory fuel. For rapid drying, wood should be stacked In a fairly dry location where It is exposed to the sun and and wind. Minerals help make us strong e nough to do the jobs that need to be done for Victory. For essential materials people depend on the food they eat—on plants and ani­ mals which get their calcium and phosphorus and other body-build­ ing minerals from the soils are worshipping Him in. spirit and threatening our lives physically and spiritually, it is sweet to rea Iize that the Captain of our salva­ tion has never let the old ship of Ziou go down, and never will, and says to us: "I will never leave thee, nor foisakethee.” Amen. The Christ that sailed the troub­ led sea of Galilee and calmed the boisterous winds' and waves is just the same today. He is your Sav­ iour and mine if we have accepted Him into our lives. He knows how to see His deir children through all the danners, toils and snares that confront us, He leads, guides and directs He shields and protects. He is ever near us. There is no night too dark but that He sees us. cares for and keeos us No day too long, or filled too much with world events, but that He blesses, cares for, watches over and protects His dear children. He hears our cries, beholds our tears, and gives a listening ear to our feeblest pray, eis. He supplies our need. Cer tatnly He who feeds the little spar rows.will feed His children. O, what a wonderful Saviour He is I We ought to praise Him almost at every breath. Blessed be the Christ of Bethlehem’s manger!

This situation has developed thru the baste of the armed services in getting men into uniform. Unfor­ tunately. getting men into uniform is not quite enough. YuU mu: t know what to do with them once they are in uniform is not quite enough. You must know what to do with them Qnce~they are in uniform, and if more met. are taken into an organi­ zation than can be properly absor­ bed at any given time a waste of money, effort and time inevitably re­ sults. The same thing is true if more specialists or paper work of­ ficers and men are taken in than there are jobs for such persons in those fields. When men are pulled out of civi* Iian jobs wherein they.arecontribut* ing to the maintenance of tbe na­ tional economy and placed in sine­ cures or non-es*ential jobs within the framework of the military, the national man power situation is gravely aggravated to no good cause. Tbe practice is not only foolfeh. but dangerous. The army, any navy should not become so obsessed with the "big army” and “big navy” idea that they cannot take time to assi­ milate their recruits and prepare places of vital service for the men they place in unif< rm The Merry-Go-Round and other reports by enlisted men and others in this connection miv be somewhat exaggerated or may be app.icable only to more isolnted instances. Whatever tbe complete 'facts are, the truth sticks out that the utiliza­ tion of available man power for military needs requires very careful planning in which the placing of round pegs in round holes should be given priority over the issuance ol a vast number of uniforms to a vast number of men regardless of what : the men will do once they are in uni­form.—Twin City Sentinel. Ul 9332150101 THK DAVTE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Santa Claus Bom In Famous Poem By Clement Moore Santa CIaus was bom in New York on a snowy December night 120 years ago. He sprang full grown, clad in red and white, with eight reindeer and a sleigh, from the mind of Dr. Clement Clarke Moore when he wrote his famous poem, “A Visit From St. Nicholas.” The legend of St. Nicholas had come to the New world with the Dutch settlers in the Seventeenth century. Gradually the name of that figure became San Niklaas and later Santa Claus. There are several explanations of how Santa Claus happened to be born. One story tells that on Christ­ mas eve, 1822, Dr. Moore was being driven to his New York home in a sleigh, and the tinkling of the bells on the horse’s harness gave him in­ spiration for the verses. Another story tells that Dr. and Mrs. Moore were packing Christmas baskets for the needy and found they were one turkey short. Though it was late, Dr. Moore went out to buy another. On his way home with the turkey under his arm he is said to have composed the poem. Dr. Mcore read his poem to his children on Christmas morning. When a friend had the verses print­ ed in a Troy, N. Y., newspaper, he denied writing them, but later ad­ mitted their authorship. The poem gained rapidly in pop­ularity, and the picture it painted of old Santa has endured to this day. "His eyes, how they twinkled; his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed, when I saw him, in spite of myself.” Short Course in Y u l e C a r d E t i q u e t t e Each year at this time, when Christmas cards are about to be ad-i dressed, the question always pops up in the mind: “How shall we sign them?” Here are a few hints and suggestions that wiil help you along in making your decision: • If you are a married couple all you need to do is sign, “Jack and Jane.” For those that would require j more formal address, sign the card: “Mr. and Mrs. Jack Jackson.” • If you have a small family you can sign the card: “Mr. and Mrs. Jack Jackson, Sally and Jane.” For the informal address of the cards it could be: “Jim, Mary, Sally and Jane Jackson.” It is always best to put the names of the child or children next to the mother’s. • If you are a married woman, liv­ ing alone, you can sign your card, “Mary Brown Jackson”—the Brown being the maiden name. The gen­ eral practice in such cases is also to put in parenthesis “Mrs. Jack Jackson.” • Young ladies, single, just sign! “Sally Jackson” or just “Sally.” If| the acquaintance is casual Sally can: precede her name with a “Miss”! such as “Miss Sally Jacksonii- •- But at Christmas time, informal­ity is the general and prevailing note. Cards addressed to your friends should be as informal as pos­ sible without causing any affront to those receiving them. If you wish you can even add your own little personal note as might a young lady to her young man. Or as one pal would to another whom he hasn’t seen, or heard from for a long time. M a k e T r e e F ir e p r o o f T h is W a y—I t ’s E a sy You can fireproof your Christ­ mas tree by a simple method of letting it absorb the proper amount of afnmonium sulphate. First cut the trunk of the tree at an angle or in a "V” shape. Then weigh the tree and divide the weight of ammonium sul­ phate needed. Dissolve the indicated amount in water, using one and one- half pints for each pound of sulphate. Put this solution in a jar or bucket, set the tree in the solution in a cool place and leave it long enough for the tree to absorb the solution fully. Then the danger of fire is at a min­imum. ‘First Footing’ in Britain Survives as Superstition In England the superstition about the “first footing” still survives. Someone must go into the house be­ fore anyone comes out in the new year; otherwise some member of the family might pass away. Mem­ bers of the family may be seen pac­ ing up and down the walk about 10 minutes before midnight, waiting for the whistle, so he can come in out of the cold and bring good luck into his home for'another year.

L a k e N a m e d A f t e r H e r Hints F o r Y o u r Yule Dinner Foods with a Christmas air will contribute much to making this holiday a success for your fam­ ily. Your favorite may be turkey with all its fixin’s, traditional ham, roast goose or even roast pork, but whatever it is, have the accompanying dishes all blend in with your main course. These menus will guide you in planning your Christmas feast: I Cranberry Sherbet With Avocado . Slice Roast IJirkey or Chicken With Stuffing Celery Curls Radishes Olives Mashed Potatoes Gravy Buttered Brussels Sprouts Hot Rolls Pickled Peaches or Pear With Red Jelly Steamed Pudding With Hard Sauce Coffee II Hot Tomato Juice With Chopped Parsley Roast Pork With Candied Sweet Potatoes Baby Beets Green Peas Carrot Sticks Celery Olives Dinner Rolls Honey Jelly Hot Mince Pie Coifee After-Dinner Mints and Assorted Nuts III Cream of Mushroom Soup Baked Ham With Clove and Brown Sugar Topping Peach Halves With Cranberry Star Garnish Parsleyed Potatoes Mashed Turnips Green Beans Cabbage Cole Slaw Pickles Jelly Celery Hearts Plum Pudding With Sauce Coffee S m a l l C h i l d r e n N e e d S p e c i a l C a r e D u r i n g H o l i d a y ’s E x c i t e m e n t At Christmas time it is generally an accepted thing that each member of the household requires, and should get a handling which is very close to being called “special.” But it is the two-year-olds, or close to that, who really require special handling. Excitement is in the air. Even though excitement is a healthy emotion, too much of it is quite upsetting to the very small child. For the two-year-old child the toys should be quite simple. The kind that makes them open their eyes wide, enables them to put them to a practical use, will stand a “good beating,” and will not be the kind that will frighten or excite them. Child training specialists, after observing many young children, also suggested that since a small child becomes tired very quickly from excitement, the parent should see that he gets his regular afternoon nap. They say parents won’t be doing any kindness by letting him stay up. Another thing is to prepare for him food which does look festive and different, but which will not put too great a strain on his delicate di­gestion. Parents might open the little lady’s, or little fellow’s, gifts, but it is hinted that it will be the wisest thing to give the little one just one or two of the gifts at a time. En­ thusiasm shouldn’t be expected over each gift received. It will take time for their little minds to figure out something to do with it, and until they do, it isn’t worth much. Junior’s Military Toys Made Largely of Wood Santa Claus’ helpers anticipate a boom in military toys. You have noticed some of the advertisements and window displays already. During the past four or five months the busy men at the North Pole have been making Springfield and Garand rifles entirely of wood, wooden machine guns which sound with an uncanny rat-a-tat-tat. •There will be few, very few lead soldiers. Most of them will be made of cardboard and plastics. Instead of the following toys being made from metal, wood will be used in­ stead: Parade guns, cannons, anti­ aircraft guns, forts, planes, jeeps, tanks, field ambulances, battleships, submarines and barges for Com­mandos. Junior will be in civilian defense* too, when he gets his presents at Christmas time. There will be doc­ tors’ and nurses’ outfits, air raid war­ den kits and blackout sets—all made of non-essential materials. Rose Teed, 20, of New York, is going to have a lake nam ed after her in Kodiak island, Alaska. This grew out of wide correspondence with soldiers stationed there. Christmas Cards Traced To Reign of Victoria One of Queen Victoria’s favorite painters, W. C. Dobson, is credited as being the originator of the pres­ ent-day Christmas card custom. In 1845 he dispatched lithograph copies of a greeting card to his friends. • Prior to the exchanging of cards, Christmas letters were written to one’s relatives and acquaintances. Do not use a w et or dam p clothfor taking ovenglass dishes from a hot oven.• • • A teaspoon of vinegar in starcb Will prevent the iron from sticking on the garm ents. ' * * • A few drops of am m onia will help wonderfully in the dish water if the dishes are unusually greasy. • * • Try rolling sausages in coarse oatmeal before frying or grilling. It prevents them breaking and they will taste extra good. * * * As soon as the drying-up towels begin to wear stitch two together and they will last some time long­ er. Tiny holes can be darned over to strengthen them. • . * When laying down new linoleum, allow it time to flatten out before tacking it down.• « • M ahogany should not be stained so dark that the beauty of the wood is obscured. A lightly stained finish also permits natural aging of the wood which enhances its beauty.• • • To store rugs for the winter, clean them thoroughly on both sides, cover with naphthalene or paradichloro - benzene, or spray them, roll each rug tightly and seal it in unbroken paper, then place in a storage closet which can be completely sealed. r i ^ notice ABOUTCOLDS Kow when colds strike, relieve miseries Kith home-proved Vicis VapoRubtIut « e ts 2 m m t A T O M S . * , IMPENETRATES to upper tubes vitb soothing medicinal- vapors.

Thus adver­ tising shows another of Its manifold facet*—shows Itself as an aid toward esaking all our business relationships esirre secure and pleasant power. n . In the Church (w . 9-16). The dynamic living of the Chris­ tian is not something to be paraded before the world, a thing of which we may be proud. It begins, as we have seen, in the heart, and then gives itself in gracious, affectionate, earnest living within other believers. Here we note that being dynamic does not mean only being a “live wire.” It may express itself in quiet­ ness which is graciously powerful; in goodness which overcomes evil; in love which weeps with the sor­ rowing; or in humility which is will­ ing to touch the lowly. These verses are full to overflow­ ing with the kind of instruction which, if heeded, would make the fellowship of the church well nigh heavenly. For example, “in honor preferring one another” would put an end to church “fights”—blessed thought! If all were “ fervent in spirit, serving the Lord” there would be no problem about getting the work of the church and Sunday school done, and done well. If Christians were “ patient in trib­ ulation,” would continue “instant in prayer,” and rejoice “in hope,” we would at once be free from com- plainers, and weak or unhappy church members. We could go on, but the teaching of the Word is so plain that what we need to do is to practice it. HI. In th e’World (w . 17-21). “Take thought,” that is, plan to have “things honest in the sight of all m en.” Bishop Moule’s comment is particularly acute. He says the Christian “is to be nobly indifferent to the world’s thought and word when he is sure that God and the world’antagonize. But he is to be seriously attentive to the world’s ob­ servation, were the world more or less acquainted with the Christian precept or principle, and more or less conscious of its truth and right, is watching, maliciously, or it may be wistfully, to see if it governs the Christian practice.” . How then does the Christian be­ have toward the world? He does not return evil for evil. How often Christians have failed at that point, becoming involved in a “ blow for blow" conflict with some worldly m an or institution. How much bet­ ter to “live peaceably with all men” as far as it is possible to do so. The Christian is not to seek re­ venge. The injustice suffered m ay be confidently left in the hand of God. He will m ake it right in due season and in His own way. He will judge righteously, where we m ight be prejudiced. We m ight be' too severe; He will be fair. The way to deal with such situations is by the “coals of fire” method (v. 20). It really works. We ought to use it more frequently. Verse 21 sum s up the whole m at­ ter. Instead of letting the evil of this world get the best of him, the Christian will “overcome evil with good.” It seems just now. that such a plan does not work, that evil has taken the upper hand, but let us wait a bit. The final accounting has not yet been made. Prim e Condition Jou haven't looked so well for years, man!"Ell, it’s the exercise I get, tossing bt in bed at night worrying about business."

THE STORY SO FAR: JeS CnrUs and Ms wife, Lee, are already on their way to Tiena Libre when he receives a note from Zora Mitchell warning them not to come. When they arrive in Tiena Libre they find both Zora and her husband dead. It is Mitchell’s Job as chief engi- neer for a frnit company that JeS has heen called to fill. - Later Jett’s friend BiU Henderson is also kfiled, and JeS suspects his employer, Senor Montaya, of murdering him and the MitcbeUs be* cause they had found a clue to the strange things going on at the plantation. Other sinister Iigares are the company chemist, Dr. Toenjes, and the flyers, Ry- den and Lannestock. So far JeS has no evidence, only suspicions, hut he is con* vinced that the solution lies with Mon* taya.NOW CONTINUE WITH THE STORY CHAPTER X . Curt was tired, hot, and sticky. He had some m atters to go over with Montaya and had intended a trip to the senor’s office after a shower and change of clothes. But there w as an hour to spare and this was as good a tim e as any for a visit to the field. He plunged down a rugged foot­ path leading into a more traveled pathway, and in less than fifteen minutes was at the wide double gates that stretched across the rail­ road tracks leading into the field. These were of heavy fence wire pulled taut over pipe frames. One gate was swinging ajar, and Curt pushed on in. A few men busy some distance away hadn’t seemed to notice his approach, yet word had carried. Be­ fore Curt reached the field office, young Karl Ryden came trotting around a corner of the nearest hang­ ar, his square face congested with anger or annoyance, Curt couldn’t tell which. Perhaps it was both. Said Curt cheerfully, “I was at the hospital and the short cut down the hill was inviting. Should have phoned, perhaps, but I wasn’t near one at the moment.” “It is all right,” Ryden said stiff­ ly. “We happen to be here today." Lannestock came running up, wip­ ing his hands on some cotton waste. He, too, was visibly put out by the visit. Curt ignored the scowl, tried another smile, extended his hand to Lannestock. “Hello, Lannestock. Or shall I say. Gosta? We’re all one family here." Both Swedes bowed stiffly, uncer­ tainly. Ryden was the spokesman. “Of course, Mt. Curtis. We are friends here.” “Fine—K arl." He surveyed the two. “Repair work on the planes to­ day?” “Yes.” Ryden snapped this out. He then flung some Swedish at Lannestock, who stood wiping sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his coverall. Lannestock nodded and made off for the living quarters. Ryden spoke again to Curt. “My friend will get clean. Then we have something to drink. Now you let me show you the plant.” Grouped behind the two hangars were the utility buildings, and it was to these Ryden led the way. The largest was a V-shaped af­ fair, housing in one wing the office, in the other a six-room bachelor quarters for Ryden, Lannestock, and their principal mechanics. But there remained the hangars. WithiRyden clearly reluctant, Curt hims'elf. led the way. In front of each hangar was the plane it housed, mechanics were still at work on them. On one plane they were,: repairing the landing gear, bugphe other machine was dism antl® -of cowling and propel- lor^’ang^fenew wing had been in- j^jped: ..The old one lay on the gfeiundf" v '-'Curt puzzled. These were a make of plane quite unfamiliar to him, but after all Curt wasn’t a particularly air-minded man. They seemed big, bulky, awkward things, Percherons of the air, built for hard usage. Each had powder-laying nozzles pro­ truding from the fuselage well back under the tails. Thought of this powder led Curt’s' eyes to the shed-type structure be­ tween the hangars, which evidently housed the chemical for treating the swampland. The sliding doors were closed and locked, but the hard- packed earth before the building and in paths leading to the air­ planes’ loading spaces was white with the stuff trod in under foot. Curt noticed floodlighting equip­ ment. “I see you can do night flying." “That is for emergency. We have never used it.” I Something else was for emergen­ cy, too. An emergency against emergency, Curt told himself. At one end of the hangar in front of him he saw a broad shelf holding some dozens of oil flares. Curt turned back to the shed that housed the chemical, eyed it specu- latively. Against his better judg­ ment he was about to put a ques­ tion, when a furious chugging and clanking of rails, the sudden sound magnified by the backdrop of moun­ tainside, told of a m otorcar racing around the foot of the range to­ ward the field. The look of relief that swept Ry- den’s face was not lost on Curt, who thought, What now? In a few strides they were at the end of the build­ ing and saw a mozo swinging wide the gates so the motorcar would not have to stop its pace. Ah, Curt thought, the visitor’s ex- oected. Montaya? W.i The caT cam e to a grinding stop and out popped not the suave, smooth Senor Montaya, but Dr. Toenjesl Even at that distance Curt could see the Dutchman was not so genial as when Curt first m et him. Not so genial? Dr. Toenjes’ hair, ragged at any time, now stood on end, for he wore no hat and the late afternoon wind was brisk. His beard was the plaything of a thousand dev­ ils. The m an looked possessed. -. The astonishing sensation of evil genius Curt felt of Dr. Toenjes in that one moment was dissipated as the Dutchman approached. “Ahh? Meestoor Coortiss. A zer- prise, no?” The man’s voice was normal enough, his shaggy brows comically arched. “I coom for ze vorrds vith H err Lannestock und find you. It iss a plezoor.” To Ry­ den he said, "He iss here, no? Herr Lannestock?” “Yes. In his room making clean.” Ryden’s voice had changed. Gone was the stiffness, in its place relief, as though he were handing over re­ sponsibility. “Ah, zen I see him latoor. You like ze—ze—teengs you see here, Meestoor Coortiss?” Toenjes waved his hand vaguely at the field, the buildings. “Very much. The men must be quite satisfied here." Curt watched quizzically as Oie Dutchman’s eyes shot about,, tak- SEB.VICE ■</ 5 Dr. Toenjes turned his thick lenses on Curt. “ Yess,” he hissed, ing in the planes standing out in the open, the closed doors of the chemical shed. A zerprize, no? Curt mimicked to himself. I teenk no. You’re a con­ founded liar. Doctor. Lannestock phoned I was here. Why? The chem­ ical, of course. He indicated the shed. “Your compound, Doctor?” Dr. Toenjes turned his thick lenses on Curt. “Yess,” he hissed. "Efficient method of treating the ground,” Curt grinned, “taking it in thousand-acre lots.” “Ah, yess. Eef Associated had so done before they pla-ant, they would have ze reechest cutting efer known. Their land ees good, wiz- out ze—ze—how you say? ze sour from ze centuries of water.” “They’re still cutting strong, Doc­ tor,” Curt said dryly. Then, as the Dutchman’s eyes continued to bore through him he gave a short laugh. “Look here, Dr. Toenjes. Let’s get something straightened out. You, too, Karl. And Gosta,” he added, as Lannestock joined the group in fresh whites. “You’ll have to get rid of your suspicions of me. I’m no spy for Associated. I work for Senor Mon­ taya, just as you do. His success is mine, and I’ mcertainly going to do nothing to undermine my own future. I didn’t seek this job. The senor sought me. Up to then I hadn’t even heard of this planting. So you needn’t be worried about my giving away your secret, Doctor.” The Dutchman studied Curt. “Ah, no, I am not vorry,” he said at last. “For you do not ze zegred have. It has nobody but me, me alone, Meestoor Coortiss.” “Okay, that’s fine. Then let’s drop the bars. We’ll be here together for a long tim e to come. Anyway,” he went on curiously, “you’ve less rea­ son to be worried about m e than about any one of your some thou­ sands of farm laborers who could easily steal samples of your stuff to sell to Associated for analysis.” At this Dr. Toenjes shook his head with satisfaction. “Ah, no. Zamples from ze grround zey could get, but zamples from ze ground vould not vork out in labora. tory analysis, Meestoor Coortiss. AU zey find iss lime. My zegred in­ gredient, he iss top quick absorbed.” Curt stared, then gave another laugh. “WeU, you need have no worries at aU, then. You seem to guard the fresh stuff weU at its source.” He couldn’t keep the sarcasm from his words, but he smiled agree­ ably enough. He took off his Stet­ son to wipe the sweatband and mop his forehead, and by way of chang­ ing the subject he motioned to the I far end of the field and the big abandoned hangars there. | “Too bad you couldn’t have used the original hangars and had the benefit of that shade,” he said. As the three stared at him he laughed again. Evidently he hadn't yet struck the combination of sylla- bles that would ease the conversa­ tion along an agreeable path. But as he’d' mentioned the hangar, he might as weU continue." “Senor Montaya told me the story. WeU, things grow fast here. It won’t be many years before ' the trees planted at this end will give good shade.” Nobody said anything to this, ei­ ther, so Curt went on in a moment, rather irritably, “You should clear the grass from that end of the field. From the color and ripple in the wind I can teU from here that it’s high and dry. Don’t your engines ever spit fire? Couldn’t your planes in landing or taking off fire that dry stuff?” “We cut it regular. It is tim e again,” Ryderi conceded. The group was ambling. Curt be­ cam e aware that Dr. Toenjes was steering them away from the white- floored space before the chemical shed. He grinned. At this point Dr. Toenjes suggest^ ed a drink, so they headed for the clubroom. Lannestock held open the screen door. They took chairs about a table and a native servant set before'them taU glasses and bottles of Schnapps. Only then did Toenjes become quite fully at ease. He could be affable when he chose. It was not a prolonged visit, and the last lift of the big tumblers found it end­ ing on a reasonably social note. Yet even now, after drinking to­ gether with him, Curt noted the Swedes were still unsmiling and for­ mal! Dr. Toenjes offered Curt a lift up the mountainside. “You haven’t taken care of your business with Gosta,” Curt remind­ ed him, adding provocatively, “the business that brought you to the field.” The Dutchman stared through his thick lenses. “Oh, yess.” He spoke to Lannestock. “It iss about tomor­ row, ze vork for you. Coom to ze office, on ze m ap I show you.” The two were gone but a few min­ utes. Then Curt and the doctor, in the latter’s car, were on their way up to San Alejo. This was the first tim e Curt had gone over the branch line to the airfield. It followed the field’s boun­ dary at first, then halfway down curved away to cling to the foot of the mountain. This necessitated a rather long spur to serve the bodega at the far end of the field. They had just passed this spur when there came a buzzing from the air which quickly grew in vol­ ume to a steady, powerful drone. Curt put his head out of the win­ dow to look up, but could see noth­ ing. Toenjes stopped the car. Both men climbed out, squinting against the sun. They knew' the C. A. T. planes were grounded and in any case this sound told of heavier ships. Powerful ships. More than one. Then they were seen. Two huge planes dropped from a bank of clouds and circled low over the San Alejo field. “Army planes!” Curt exclaimed at sight of the insignia on the wings. “Must be from file CanaL Well, why do they circle? Why don’t they land or fly on?” The reason became apparent as a third plane cam e limping into view. One vOf its engines was misfiring. Something had happened and these two were hanging on to make sura of the third’s safety. The damaged plane settled onto the San Alejo runway, taxied to the upper end. Above, the two circling planes climbed, straightened out, and m ade off directly North. “Headed for Soledad,” said Curt. “Let’s go back and find out what’s wrong.” The words weren’t necessary. The Dutchman’s brows bristled, his eyes bulged. “Ja !” he wheezed, and ex­ citedly plunged into the car. They could have backed the car onto fiie bodega track, then out the other arm of the spur’s “Y,” and thus be headed for the field again. But Toenjes couldn’t wait so long. Curt had only time to hop on the running board as the Dutchman crashed into reverse gear and backed the car.to the field. When they arrived at the ground­ ed arm y plane they found four men landed and the plane already sur­ rounded by airfield workers. The newcomers were in United States Army uniform. One, the leader, was expostulating angrily with the glowering Ryden. “What the deuce? There are no pri­ vate fields, man, when a plane is in distress. Here! Keep those mon­ keys away from this plane. Bland- ing! Newman! Push these people back! You, whatever your name is.” He stabbed a finger at Ryden for attention. “You seem to have au, thority here. We’ll have to make repairs before we can go on.’ Give us a hand and we can take off be­ fore dark, but waste any more time telling m e I can’t land here and you’ll have to put us up overnight We ARE landed!” (TO BE CONTINUED) WHO'S NEWS L* V |V This Week Ik T l By I Lemuel F.

But there are signs of a thaw, and gold m ay be moving again in considerable quantities. Lieut. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower took a considerable supply of $ 2 0 gold pieces to Africa. Never in history has a sound gold coin lost its sheen or its allure, and since expediency is now uppermost in our world di­ plomacy, as it is always in war­ time, it won’t hurt Uncle Sam to he known.as the old gent with $23,000,000,000 in his buckskin wallet. Just now, with staff and scrip, he fares far in hungry lands where gold pieces clink and click m ore convincingly than a thesis on m anaged econo­ m y. And, traditionally, he is apt to say, “This is on m e.” M rs. Ross won’t decree new gold coinage or deploy strategic gold pieces to help win the war, and there is no suggestion that we will buy our way through. Suffrage is now 24 years old and Mrs. Ross, first woman governor of an American state when she was elected to succeed her deceased hus­ band in Wyoming in 1925, w as out in front with Mabel Willebrandt, Ruth Bryan Owen, Frances Perkins, Grace Abbott and other capable women who, presumably were to lead a growing phalanx of women into high public office. Women now have more than one-third of the votes, and their public offices have not come along in that proportion, but M rs. Ross has stayed on as di­ rector of the m int since April, 1933. W ar has complicated her droblems in many ways. W ar vjages boom juke boxes and the Way juke boxes wolf nickels is nobody’s business. Mrs. Ross, born in St. Joseph, Mo., in 1377, of Tennessee and Kentucky stock, m et her future husband, Wil­ liam Bradford Ross, in Paris, Tenn. He went to Wyoming for his health, opened a law office and went to Omaha and m arried Miss Tayloe. Their twin boys, George and Am­ brose, are grown, and George was a Rhodes scholar. M rs. Ross has said she never had any interest or training in politics until she was elected governor, but found that experience as a house­ wife had been a pretty fair prepara­ tion for keeping things in order. By all accounts, she has done a most satisfactory job in running the mint. Each year she alertly supervises the “opening of the pyx.” Pyx is Greek for strong box, in this instance a two-by-four oak case in which are deposited 2 ,0 0 0 coins, representative of the year’s coinage. In this an­ cient-custom, Mrs. Ross passes on each coin for weight and fineness. That sounds housewifely. • — 'T 'H E job of building our political fences in the Middle E ast falls to George Wadsworth, career diplo­ m at, one-time schoolmate and Iife- Goes to Leoantine tiP11!; ,fr^nd of Col.

Mr. Wadsworth takes a swing trick down along the high­ way to Bagdad, as America’s first diplomatic representative to Syria and Lebanon. Recalling.Robert D. Murphy’s recent spectacular success in softening up North Afoica for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, it is interesting to see another veteran diplomat of this sam e general re­ gion at work in one of the last gaps in the ring around the Nazis. When M r. Wadsworth became Egyptian golf champion in 1930, without im pairm ent of diplomat­ ic standing, it was noted that he m ust be a good diplomat as in his profession one is supposed not to win too handily in bridge or golf. At any rate; he moved on smoothly through various M editerranean consular posts to charge d’affaires at Rome in 1941, with a steadily accruing reputation for both sagacity and diplomatic finesse. M r. Wadsworth is an erudite but practical person. He form erly was a teacher at the University of Bei- 1 rut, with a m aster of arts degree. I He is a diligent student of middle eastern history and politics. I Back in 1917, he resigned his - teaching post at the University of ; Beirut to become a clerk in the Beirut consulate. That, led soon thereafter to his first diplomatic post as consul at Nantes, France. In the succeeding years he served at Constantinople, Alexandria, Cairo, Teheran, Bucharest, Jerusalem and Rome.

DECEMBER 23.1942 INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS AFTER THE WAR Every American knows that the m anufacture of automobiles has ceased for the duration of the war. The great automobile industry which in 1940 produced and sold more than 3% million cars, has been re-tooled to produce airplanes, guns, tanks and munitions of war. Where will these companies get the money necessary to resum e the m anufao ture of automobiles when the w ar is ended? The automobile industry happens to be important, and there are thou­ sands of sm aller industries which will also face the sam e problem. What will the millions of workers do when the demand for w ar m a­ chines stops? What will happen to the domestic m arket for farm products when those millions of w ar workers no longer have jobs? The stage seem s set for an even worse depression after World W ar II than we suffered after World W ar I unless right now we start to plan about these surpluses. It is comforting to learn that Con­ gress is now considering some plan to prevent, or at least to ease, any after-the-war depression. . War Profits for Peace-Time Recovery. The best plan seems to contem­ plate the dedication of a portion of w ar profits for the purpose of provid­ ing industry with the ready cash on hand to quickly., change to peace­ tim e activity and thus lessen the shock to manufacturing and agri­ cultural surpluses when the w ar is ended. A Recovery Bond program has been suggested whereby each in­ dustry, big and little, will be re­ quired to invest at least 2 0 per cent of its w ar profits in Recovery Bonds which do not bear interest until the w ar is ended and which cannot be sold by the purchaser until peace is declared. Such a plan would build, at the rate of almost a billion dollars a year, a huge recovery reserve to convert w ar industries to peace pro­ duction, launch new products and m aintain employment. It would place this reserve immediately and automatically in the hands of those businesses and industries with the greatest after-the-war needs. The moment peace is declared the “ time lock” automatically releases this recovery reserve, the bonds be­ come negotiable and begin to draw interest. Purchasers holding them will then treat them like any other Government bonds, to be sold or used to borrow money. There would be no waiting for a post-war Con­ gressional appropriation, no red tape, and no delay in launching the business and industry offensive that m ay turn threatened depression into unrivaled prosperity. The plan is simple, practical and fair. During late years science and re­ search have discovered many hew uses for present m ajor farm crops and many new crops which can be used in industry. A plan of this character places immediately in the hands of industry the resources which can be used to finance furth­ er research and to plan for the con­ version of surplus crops, surplus factor, buildings and the employ­ ment of war workers in new and useful enterprises whenever this war shall cease and normal peace­ time industry, business and agricul­ ture shall be resumed. This problem deserves the thought­ ful consideration of every American. If we can have the assurance of rea­ sonable security in the after-the-war recovery period we can throw our­ selves into an all-out effort to win the war and feel that by so doing we have secured "the • blessings of liberty to ourselves and our poster­ ity.” .
