There are many wonderful things great happenings and glorious e- vents that we can look back to in the history of the world; alsomanv good things that we do well to look back upon in our lives especially if we have lived for God and the good of mankind through the years; hut God would have us look forward. We aie conscious that, as good as the past has been in many, many respects, tbe best is yet to be for God’s people. We realize that from the stand point of war and destructiveness of life and property, end from the hu man viewpoint, tbe future looks dark and_tbreateuing; bnt there is another side, and that is God's side. Our Lord still rules and reigns He is the same forever. He never loses H is power, and nei. ther does'HeJfail and forsake His people. He wants us to look up and look forward. The glorious goal is just ahead Heaven awaits the children of God. Tbe devil will not always reign upon the earth to give trouble, to break hearts, wreck lives and destroy souls. If God has forgiven our sins, our shortcomings, failures, blunders and mistakes; and if He has cieansed our hearts and ‘purified our souls; and if He is with Os today, lead ing and guiding, shielding and pro tecting; and if our faith, hope and trust is in Him; and if we are lov ing and serving Him, worshipping and adoriug Him; and if we are praying to Him without ceasing, continnallv giving thanks and faith fully obeying, then why not look npward and forward with happy hearts and great expectations? Won- detful blessings are in store for the people of God. It Is true we know not what 1943 may bring to us by way of heart aches, sorrows, tests, trials, suffer, ings, disappointments and bereave ments. but if God is with ns and for us, and H e is if we are' wit a and for Him, then we can expect blessed things. He will give us sweet peace in our souls, even tbo' the world is at strife H e will bring wonderful spiritual blessinps into our lives as we follow in His footprints—the footprints of Jesus. He will bring ns health that is worth a fortune. He will bleis ns with salvation right on, and 1 on, which is the most marvelous thing in all the world Glory to His matchless name. As the children of God we have nothing to be despondent over. Why look down our nose as though God is dead, or has gone off on a far journey and won’t be back in a long, long time, or as though He has quit answering prayer? God still lives. Our Savioui still inter cedes at the right hand of tbe Fath er in our behalf. While we may have some suffering, as this natur ally comes in a fallen world, vet we are assured that ‘ all things work together for good to tbsm that love God, to them tnat are called accor ding to His purpose." This is true. God bas declared it. Have we not found it to be so along life's rugged pathway? Every child of God can testifp that he has to tbe praise and glory of Cod. God wants us to look forward and upward. . Every good and per fect gift comes from above. God opens His bountiful bands, so to speak, and pouas into our Iivesand souls some of b aven's olessings and blessedness, assuring Os, . bow< ever, that there is . something far better that awaits us ‘‘Eye hath not seen, nor ear beard, neither have entered into the heart of man, tbe things which God batb'prepar- ed for them ibat love him.” We are to keep our faces turned forward, not backw. rd. We are likewise to keep our affections set on things above, things heavenly.

We won’t mention the thousands of men who have already given their lives, to safeguard and protect the liberty and freedom which all of os enjoy and want to keep These have paid the highest price yielded their lives in defense of their nation’s rights.

Dreams are our emancipation from the drab of reality. The lower House may not be GOP, in name, bnt it is not New Deal, by a jug Hill. If ballots could talk they could reveal transactions that would make Patrick Henry turn over in- his grave. j If old H itIar can extract any con solation out of the recent election he is welcome to it. Well, Fellow Americans, didn’t that little old elephant cut a caper for certain? The election indicated one thing at least: the people have had a bel lvtul of tbe New Deal. Fianklin D. Roosevelt made a cock tail shaker out of the Demo cratic party, and now look at it. We don’t think much of those who carry the Bible around on their arm on Sunday and disobey its teachings all through tbe week. The GOP needs only 30 places to constitute an anti-New Deal ma jority in Congress. It looks like November election gives GOP tbe prize. Tbe plowman perspires, the prea cher inspires, and the politician as pires, but only under pressure ever retires. Over in the army camps the coo ties bother our soldiers, and at home in Congress tbe political bees bnzz in tbeir ears. Benes Expects Victory in 1943 London—Eduard Benes, presi dent of tbe provisional Czechoslo vak government, declared (bat 1943 would “ quite certainly bring a vic torious decision ” Benes, in a Christmas message to the Czechs'; said -he had information that tbe Germans already were pre paring to launch peace movements through neutral intermediaries and that reliable reports from inside Germany show that German gener als are plotting to overthrow H it’er. “ They wish to bring about peace before it is too late,” he said. Benes predicted an Allied invas ion of Europe within the next few months,. Italy's earlp collapse and withdrawal from . the war and' a "literally hellish’ bombing of Ger many. . "T be war will not last much lon ger,” he said. “ We are entering a year wbicb will, indeed, be tbe hardest, full of exciting, fateful events, but which, however, will quite certainly bring us a victorious decision.” W l u t i Q ftU tB tU f W ttU WAH HONDSa The tradition of American cavalry threads back, to Indian w arfare day* and although modem arm ies am largely motorized today, the cavalry still plays an im portant role.

State and Federal Bmi American Bar Aaaoeiatleo A few months ago I wasriding on a popular streamliner from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Oneen tire railroad car of the, twelve or thirteen composing the train was devoted to bar. A bov ot eighteen, who had the seat next to mine, spent a good deal of time in this bar. and during five or six hours consumed about fourteen bottles of beer! Fourteen bottles ot beer for one boy—in wartime! It made me tbink of the statement in Tbe Brewer’s Digest about beer in Army camps: "H ere is a chance for brewers to cultivate a.taste for beer in millions of young men who will eventually constitute the largest heer-eonsum- ing section of our population.” Put we can’t afford it Not now. Americ is a nation at war, and li quor is a serious handicap in the best of times. Saloon owners tell me that busi. ness bas increased greatly since December 8,1941. Countlesstbou sands are trying to win the war by pouring whisky down their throats. Not long ago a United States Sen ator said "if cocktail parties could win the war, the city of W ashing, ton would have had it won before now.” There is a lot of talk about cut ting down liquor production, as the materials are needed for war pur poses, hut certainly we have not yet seen any reduction in advertising or in lhe sale of whisky and allied in toxicants. The official figures show that ap. proximatelv 4 74,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 gallons of distilled spirits were produced in 1941. This is (»0,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 galions more than in 1940. The manu facture of beer and ale should be added to these figures. Also, for the fiscal tax year ending June 30, 1941, theie were produced 5,4 8 0 . 0 9 9 gallons of gin. Endeavor to comprehend tbe true meaning of the foregoing figures in terms of deceased efficiency, 0 f human wreckage, of wasted war materials! Think of tbe tranksportation in volved in delivering these products to consumers, when rail and truck space is so precious. Can we af ford to let liquor products enjqy this priority? Sugar is now rationed Each in dividual is entitled to a half pound per week, but a few days ago an entire railroad car of sugar was de livered to a local brewery! Consider tbe millions of people starving throughout the world and then think of the thousands of bushels of wheat, corn', and rye at this very moment being converted in'o “ hot.slop" during the liquor distillation process! Think, Amer i ans, aud. then transform your thought into action! The m m power necessary to operate'the tremendous liquor in dustry would go far in producing war materials of civil !(*n necessities. -Think of the potential production power of the employees of the 450.- 0 0 0 saloons alone. Pc-ople of America, last year von paid approximately $2,5 0 0,000 0 0 0 for public education, and during the Same period yOu paid about $3,. 3 00,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 for liquor.

C. WHO'S NEWS ThisVeek By Lemael F. Portoa Consolidated Features.—’WNU Release. XT EW YORK--That brief dispatch from Chile reporting that Ber lin had recalled Ambassador Wil- . helm Freiherr von Schoen is some- V on Schoen R ecall ttoifasTraw M ay M ean C hilean in the wind c - . t a i f of W orldS w m g to th e A llie s w ar p 0 1i- tics. Baron Von Schoen has been so long and so deeply intrenched in Latin-American intrigue and so suc cessful in covering his tracks and staying on the job that this four- line ‘news item may well indicate a powerful Chilean swing to the Allied Nations. His organization of subversion in Chile has been exposed and attacked time and again with out so much as jolting the bar on’s monocle. He has .been most elaborately wired in, not only with double-dealing politicians but with a hemisphere complex of industrial and financial inter ests and German-based cartels. U it is true that they finally have cut him loose from these moorings it surely means that some of the scaliest and tough est Axis tentacles in those parts have been severed. His family is an old, established firm in international political con spiracy, in war and peace. His fa ther, the late Baron Albrecht, circu lated in Europe before the start of the first World war, trying to soften up the opposition, and Baron Wil helm carried on over here in the Mexican machinations which helped get us in the war. He did this so smoothly that a few post-war years passed before his role, as an aide to Count Bemstorff, was understood and his activities fully appraised. In 1914, he arrived in Wash ington, after several years as secretary of the German em bassy in Japan. In an inter view, which seemed to have been carefully premeditated, he told of Japan’s bitter hatred of the United States, and her de termination to annihilate us, sooner or later. The interview ,■ stirred up much angry discus sion and brought the baron a sharp reprimand from President Wilson, with a hint that the state ments had been Intended to pro mote enmity. He was married in 1916 to an American girl, highly placed social ly, and, as secretary to the em bassy, achieved deep penetration in the capita] salon diplomacy at a time when our entry into the war was still in the balance. He re turned to Germany, after the failure of the Mexican conspiracy and lit tle was heard of him until the early days of the Hitler ascendancy. ♦----A S THE army and navy propose to take over the colleges, their plan to teach the young how to shoot meets considerable academic oppo- P rexies D isagree Cents' Wris- O n A rm y, N aoy ton of Brown ~ „ and DoddsT a kin g C olleges of Prtaceton are in agreement, but other prexies throughout the country register dis sent on varying grounds. The main base of opposition is that liberal arts education and small colleges will be casualties. Dr. W. H. Cowley, president of Hamilton college, an active ally of the armed forces in eol- legiate mobilization in the past, finds the plan “quite inade quate.” His is a college of about 450 students, and he has been a goal-keeper among college pres- . idents against drives threatening the humanities and liberal arts in the colleges. As an educator, he has opposed early and ex treme specialization and has stressed the importance of edu cating the “whole man.” With this strong conviction, he be lieved colleges, by proper adapta tion in teaching, could help meet the demands for youth in the war and at the same time hold their ancient cultural franchise. A year ago, he circularized 200 upperclassmen of his college with a letter urging them to join the navy and has served as a member of the educational commit tee working with the army and navy. He says this committee op posed the new plan, about a month ago, without success. Dr. Cowley became president of Hamilton in 19B8, at the age of 39. As an expert and au thority on vocational guidance, and in educational research, he has concluded that an organized and adequate personality, and the ability to think must take precedence over .special skills. If boys off to war can somehow cram a little sound education into their duffle bags, he thinks it will be all to the good—or, more pre cisely, he thinks it'is urgently im portant that they do so. He is the most modern of educators, but has opposed such innovations as those of Dr. Hutchins and Strmgfellow Barr, which would reduce the col lege course to two years. When he was graduated from Dartmouth, he was voted the "most likely. to succeed.” He took his Ph. D. degree at the University of Chicago. Ransacking Davy Jones’ Locker Off North Africa m Lieut.

Then he laughs and says: ‘What do you think of my wife?’ And I says: ‘I always knew you was a good actor; now I know you’re a good picker too!* ” Incidentally, Mt.

Twenty 16 mm. prints of “Star Spangled Rhythm,” an all-gtar Para mount musical, have been presented by the moion picture industry’s War Activities committee hi the army; they’ll go to battle stations in vari ous parts of the world. “I Dood It” is now before the cameras at Metro’s Culver City Stu dios, with Red Skelton providing the laughs, Eleanor Powell (who’s talk ing about quitting picture-making,) performing some spectacular dances, and Jimmy Dorsey and his band providing the music. Just received a copy of “Salute,” the smart little 20-page magazine which RKO prints and mails to near ly 600 service men from the parent or affiliated companies. RKO’s the first movie company to do this for its men and girls who’ve joined the armed forces; “Salute” gives them news from home and gives them a (jirectory of other RKO-ites who’ve joined Up. The Irving Pichels certainly have an interest in "The Moon Is Down,” now in the making at 20th Century- Fox. Violette Wilson (Mrs. Piehel) is appearing in it, and Pichel is directing the picture and also play ing a tavern-keeper. When Marguerite Chapman’s 18- year-old brother joins up he’ll be the fourth to enter the navy. Fred’s In Panama, Ed’s in Hawaii, Harold’s on the East coast.

Whitman—WNU Features. Too may not be able to replace -won or broken household equipment. This is war. Government priorities come first.. So take care of what yon have . . . as well a t yon possibly can. This column by the home* owner’s friend tells yon how. WORN VARNISH AT DOORWAYS CAN BE PATCHED T HE waxing of a varnished flobt has another purpose besides im proving the appearance; for the wax takes the wear. Heaviest wear, of course, is at doorways, and the re placement of wax is a simple method of protection. Many people do not like waxed floors because of pos sible slipping, and in that case, the wear at doorways comes directly on the varnish. When wear begins to show, the revarnishing of the en tire floor is not necessary, for the worn place can be so neatly patched that it will not show. The first step is to go over the worn place with sandpaper to make it smooth and to take off soiling that washing may not remove. Varnishing should be gin at the center of a worn place and go toward the edges. At the edges the varnish is applied thin, and should go over the old varnish In such a way that a margin will not be visible. Two and probably three coats of varnish will be needed in the center of the worn place, but the edges of all of them should be so thin that they will not show. As each undercoat becomes hard, it should be lightly rubbed with very fine sandpaper to'cut into the gloss. Basement Playroom Question: In the summer our cel lar walls sweat pretty badly. I am planning to build a playroom there. What would you advise for the ceil ing and walls? Since the basement is not very warm in winter, would you advise placing rock wool batts or other insulation between the fur ring strips? Would covering the walls stop the sweating? Answer: Covering the walls with plywood, a rigid insulating board or a gypsum wallboard, with the top and bottom sealed against air circu lation in the space behind the wall board, should prevent condensation. If the cellar is very cold, a one-inch blanket of insulation, the kind en closed in waterproof paper, placed between the furring strips will make it more comfortable. The'floor can be covered with asphalt tile or a syn thetic resin floor paint. Sooty House Question: I have a coal-burning furnace, with a stoker. While I get all the heat I need, the soot is so thick that curtains and furniture are covered in six hours. Heat comes through a grille. Answer: In a hot-air heating sys tem soot and fine ash are likely to seep through cracks in the cSment joints between the furnace sections, or between the floor and the base of the furnace arid into the heated air rising to the rooms above. Any cracks or crevices at these points should be filled with iron cement. All furnace doors should fit well against the frame. In addition, it might be advisable to place two thicknesses of dark mosquito netting back of each grille. Radiator Does Not Heat Question: I am having trouble with one Cd the radiators of my hot-water heating system; it does not heat. I drained the system and refilled it, and bled the air out of all the radiators. They all heat up except this one. What can I do? Answer: There are several pos sibilities; perhaps the shut off valve at the radiator is not opened wide. Or air still may remain in the radia tor, or may be trapped in a pipe bend or angle, thus blocking the cir culation. Or the piping may be de fective. A heating contractor should be called in to check on all these points. SeratehRemover Question: Is there such a thing as a scratch remover? I am sure I saw it advertised. Answer: Yes; but you will have to inquire about it at your hardware store. I cannot give trade names iq the column. If you do not find what you want, try running a little varnish of the right color into the scratch, using a pointed cameTs-hair brush. Or use the meat of a pecan or Brazil nut—unsalted, of course. Hot-Air -Registers Question: Our hot air registers make the rooms quite dusty. To catch the dust, I am planning to place a thickness of mosquito netting against the pipe inside the register. Would this check the flow of hot air, and should we have to bum more fuel. Answer: Twothicknessesofblack .mosquito netting placed bade of the hot air register may have a slight effect on the flow of heat, but not enough to cause an appreciable in crease hi fuel consumption. 1^krim Iattle Lunches F latter W artim e M enus (See Recipes Below) V ictory Lunches Mid-day meals with that go-and- get-it spirit are those that are prop erly balanced, and have plenty of ey e-appeal.

InDarkestAfrica By Gordon GasktU (W NU Fiifliro-Ttroiql specie/with A m ticia Maranat) ' I am writing this from the Free French radio station in Brazzaville, three hundred miles up the Congo in the Africari jungle. Here I found the “Voice of Fighting France,” the world’s strangest broadcasting sta tion. Brazzaville is, first of all, the un- likeliest spot on earth for an im portant radio station which rivals in efficiency anything in London or New York. Brazzaville is real Afri ca, some 300 miles up the Congo river. It is steaming hot; the sun is a sledge hammer; fever and worse are always at hand. Nobody in his wildest moments would have thought that Brazzaville would be one of the world’s radic capitals., It became so by chance, by necessity, and by the efforts of three mep: First, the brothers Desjardins— Captain Francois, the elder, Lieutenant Pierre, the younger—both ex perienced French newspaper men. When France fell they escaped to London, joined De Gaulle as sol diers, came with him on that fa mous naval excursion that was a flop at Dakar, a success in the Cam- eroons and French Equatorial Af rica. Radio for Fighting France. At Brazzaville, capital of the lat ter, De Gaulle asked the two broth ers to set up a “Service of Informa tion,” a radio mouthpiece for Fight ing France. The third man is a mild little radio engineer named De- froyenne, a sort of Gallic Thomas Edison, able to work all kinds of miracles with meager equipment. The Desjardins would tell him about some impossibly intricate piece of apparatus they needed. As they talked, Defroyenne would stare dreamily out the window, apparent ly not hearing a word. Then he’d wander off, still in a dream. Then in a couple of days he’d be back smiling shyly, with exactly what they asked for. Maybe it was made at bits from an old tractor and a sewing machine. Their First Big Problem. With such a man, the Desjardins tackled their first big problem: to make Radio Brazzaville talk. There existed only a Morse Code station and a fleapower amateur station with a midget 50 watts. The code station had to be “modu lated”—that is, modified so that it would transmit voice instead of dots and dashes. The incomparable De- Doyenne vanished into the gloom of his workshop, dug into old boxes, tore down other gadgets to find parts and within a few weeks Radio Braz zaville somehow became a voice sta tion. Not perfect, but quite good enough. The small amateur station was boosted to 350 watts, seven times its original power. AU this work was done on a night-and-day schedule with almost no letup—ex cept once, when a 20-foot boa con strictor turned up in the radio sta tion grounds and had to be shot. Assembling a Staff on Congo River. Not the least of the Desjardins’ tasks was to assemble a staff to prepare the programs. It might have been fairly easy in Paris or London or New York, but not 300 miles up the Congo river. Yet some how, somewhere, they collected one of the strangest assortments of hu man beings anywhere on the globe. One used to teach EMglish in EVench schools; another taught law in Sin gapore; another was a Parisian bank clerk; another a civil engineer. StiU another was a gentle Uttle man who used to seU antiques. An American girl reporter chucked a job in Wash ington and came. A French girl Dom South Africa, and another— the one who took down Hitler’s speech—escaped from Alsace and found her way here. Ambitious as these programs are, they’re nothing to what’s ahead, in the very near future. EM route to Brazzaville is the most powerful short-wave Danmnitter ever buUt in America—a 50,000-watter which can thunder anywhere in the world.. Ra dio BrazzaviUe wiU soon be broad casting around the dock in soma 20 Allied languages, plus counter- propaganda in enemy tongues, plus news in Morse Code to the Free EVench sailors. A brand-new building wiU replace the okl. warehpuse .that ,Radio Brazzaville has used as emergency quarters. Not the least of its equipment are six pairs of fiber-wheeled roUer skates, so that native messengers can zip around the 500 yards of outer passageways in short order. AU .this has meant enormous hu man effort. Veteran colonials who have Uved in Brazzaville top years predict that the Desjardins’ staff wUl be dead within a year. This is steaming, fever-ridden country that richly deserves its nickname: “The White Man’s Graveyard." _ _ _ _ _ ? iim n ir H t f ; I A General Quiz f The Qaestums 1. What does “recherche” meanf 2.

Irc- dell Alexander, Rowan and Wilkes counties, has been invited to parti cipate in a national meeting to focus attention on the increasing import, ant role of rural electrification as an aid to wartime food production. W. L Jones, superin endent, announc ed. Featuring nationally prominent speakers, many of them leaders in the pub ic power field, the meeting has beon called by the National Ru ral Electric Cooperative Association, with sessions to be held Ja . 19 and 20 in St. Louis, Missouri. It will be the first annual meeting 0 f the NRECA. an organization- formed several months ago in the interest of the rural electrification move ment. A.I of the EOO REA financed rural electric systems in the country have been asked to send representatives to'tbe meeting, although official de legates an I alternates are to be named only by the systems that have joined NRECA. according to Mr Jones, who said the local co op is a member. The themo of the meeting—“pow er for food”—was exnlained in a let ter receieved bv the local co-op fr- m Congressman Clyd -. T. Ellis, of Ark ansas. general manager of NRECA. who extended the invitation. Discussioi.s of how electricity may be put to wider use in the fnod-pro- duction program wili involve a ' re- apraisal” of regulations that have limited the use of materials for ex pansion of rural electrification Con gressmen Ellis stated. M easuresto considered include: Th possibilities for additional service connections a- Iong existing electric lines, in case where materials are already available the installation of wire on Doles that were erected before ratal line build ing came to a halt several months ago; and relaxation of restrictions on the manufacture of appliances such as milking machines, motors, water svstem and other devices, so that the farmers mav obtain all the tools he needs to make his maximum effort, with minimum labor- Superintendent Jones said that the Davie Electric Membership Corpor ative has 10 applications for service from farms adjacent tc existing power lines. In addition, Mr, Jones said, many farmers have appealed to the co-op to help locate electric food production and Iabo:- saving equip ment, stocks of which have been ex hausted from local dealers. Arrangements for the meeting, which Will be held in St. Louis’ large Municipal. Auditorium, have been cleared w ith. the Offici of Defense Transportation according to Mr, E.lis. Business affairs to be trans acted during the sessions inclune the installation of new board members and completion o f proposed changes in by-laws. Superintendent Joses said today that among the problems to be taken up at the meeting, which have a bearing on expanded service by the Davie Electric Membership Corpora tive are—conference are scheduled for instance with Chairman Donald M. Nelson and dther officials of W. P. B. on the subject of permitting REA Co op to relocoted lines and other facilities that are not or may not be in use and of permitting the . co-ops to use materials already on hand or that might become available but which are now lying idle and Btefile, to electrify more farms and fnrm - i IbIiBhments and to thereby uicker victory.

Not for many years has the town presented such a deserted appearance on Saturday night Introduce School Bill Raleigh—A bill to set up a state wide, nine months school term, en dorsed by both major political par ries was introduced in the House as the North Carolina legislature rapidly organized In near-perfect harmony. The measure, introduced by Rep. Gass, of Forsyth, would lengthen the public school term from the present 160 days to 180 days, but would be optional. Tbe state and county boards of education would be authorized to determine whetb. er the longer term would be advis able. Some sections, particularly farming sections, contend the nine, months term would seriously inter fere with production, especially aim*, there is a shortage of labor. Mrs., J. W. McClannon Mn. J. W.

A n t / fb yotffiom -- for helping get them , home for the Holidays! Thanks to you, a most critical period in wartime bus transportation has been passed with flying colors! Just before Christmas, Greyhound asked you to “G ive Y oar Christm as trips to m en in the service”—and you did! Be cause you postponed such trips, thou-, sands of men and women in the armed forces were able to go home by bus for Holiday leaves and furloughs. They thank you for precious .hours spent with loved ones—Greyhound thanks you for cooperating so willingly and voluntarily. In helping service men make Holiday ' trips home, you also made travel smoother and more convenient for war workers and others whose trips could not wait. It is cooperation like this that makes it possible for Greyhoimd and other bus lines to carry on the tremendous mass- transportation job that is so essential to winning the war. To aid in this wartime task, Grayhound for many months has asked travelers, whenever possible^ to plan their trips for periods when buses are less crowded. By accepting this and other practical suggestions, you have helped to keep America’s transportation strong .« 4 active in our nation’s defense. W hen transportation emergencies arise in the future, Grayhound will keep you informed of ways in which you may help. In the meantime it is wise to plan your trips for the uncrowded mid-week days, and to ask your Greyhound agent for information, well in advance. WILKINS DRUG STORE Phone 21.Mocksville. N.

News of Consenratioo Fanners By S. A. Wolfe The end of 1942 raw 367 farms in Davie county following a definite soil conservation program. These and other farms will have to produce more In 1943 to provide the food and feed to help win the war We should oot make the mistake of allow Ing our land to wash since eroded land will lower the productivity ot the soil and now more than ever we need a high producing soil. Glad to see more Davie county fanners becoming interested in sericea lespedeza. It is estimated that between 60 and 75 acres of sericea will be seeded next .spring. Some of the fanners wbo already have stands of sericea are: J. R. Foster, J. A. Miller, D. B. Miller, 6 . R. Pack, L. Hend rix. M. L. Livengood and Charlie Mason. Quite a few Davie County fanners are pfenning to put severely eroded areas into pines of kudzo next spring.Mr. T. P Koontz thinned out some pines last winter. He is well pleased with the results and plans to thin more woods in the future. This is a very good practice since it furnishes good stove wood and gives the remaining trees a better chance to produce a quicker crop of timber. Fork News Notes.

Tierra U b n when he receives a note Irom Zora Mitchell w aning them not to come. When Oiey arrive In Tlerra Libn they IM both ZOra and her Imsband dead. ■ It It Mitchell’s Job as chief engi neer for a fruit company that Jelf has been called to fill. Later JefTs friend Bin Benderson Is also killed, and Jelf suspects Us employer, Senor Montaya, of murdering him and the Mitchells be cause they had found a cine to the strange things going on a t the planta tion.

S. Army plane from making a forced landing. But when Jelt talks to him later, Senor Montaya does not ap pear to be alarmed. NOW CONTINUE WlTU TBE SIORT CHAPTER XH , Since arriving at San Alejo Curt nadn’t seen much of his children, and one of the things he most en joyed was playing with them, let ting Chuck and Buddy crawl over him. He loved making them squeal with happiness. And now little Sylvia Mitchell was an added attrac tion. So today Curt went home ear ly, to have some time with them before dark. Curt spent a full hour with the children before the clouds let loose with a ten-minute shower, a daily feature so regular they could set their clocks by it. The shower gave Curt a chance to calm the children down with a story so they wouldn’t be too excited (or supper and bed, and when Lee sailed for them he shooed them up ibe steps and into the house. But ae remained outside. He returned to the open basement. For here his sye had caught something of inter est during the play which he couldn’t have investigated then'without rais ing the children’s curiosity. The living room ran the width of the house across the front, screened Dn three sides—a lanai, had this been Hawaii. Along the front and sides of this veranda-livingroom was a solid bank of hibiscus, broken OiHy by the steps. A cement walk ran from the front around the side of the house to the rear, but a two foot space had been left for the shrubbery between this and the ce ment floor under the house. And on the edge of the cement, inside the hedge, were dried mud footprints! Someone had stood on this spot. Why? For only one rea son. To listen in on what passed above in the veranda-livingroom. Then who could it have been? The prints were broad and indicated flat shoes. They weren’t larged The men in this clime didn’t run to big feet, Curt knew, but he sensed these were woman’s prints. Not Lee’s, for she wore heels. The cook’s? No, she didn’t know English and eaves dropping would have done her no good. That is, Curt had been told she knew no English. But Ines knew English. Not well, but enough for simple phrases, which meant that she understood it even better. Ines was the maid fur nished by Montaya. ■ Whoever had left them had in advertently stepped into the hibis cus bed, then up onto the cement, ..and since this soil absorbed mois ture quickly it had to be early in the evening after the shower. Per haps after dinner when he and Lee sat on the veranda above. About the time Ines left for the day.Dinner. Curt was quiet and brood ing, and Lee caught his eye on Ines whenever the girl was in the room. Especially, Lee noticed, he glanced at her feet. Lee wondered, but said nothing—couldn’t have at the. table. What Curt saw was that the shoes Ines wore to work, despite her flare for style in dress, were for comfort, not style. . They were practically heelless and broad enough for feet which had gone barefoot through childhood. .After coffee, Curt collapsed on his shouldeT blades in a comfortable bamboo chair which he pulled close to the couch. He lit his pipe and blew rings to the ceiling, and ig nored the stack of papers on the taboret by his side. Lee recognized the mood and got out her sew ing- small rompers to mend. She knew he’d start talking when-he got ready. She took the couch, as he’d planned for her to do. A subdued clatter of dishes came from the rear as Ines removed them from the dining table to the kitchen sink. Then sounds from the sink. Curt came to life.“Lee, I want you to talk to your self for a while, as though you were talking to me.” Lee shot him a startled look. "I want to know if ordinary con versation can be heard outside," he grinned. “Oh.” But she stared. Curt put down his pipe,.went,to the door, silently let himself out into the dark. Lee, with the ghost of a snicker, sighed and did as asked, keeping her voice down as though Curt were be side her. “Well, I suppose I might as well talk about the people I’ve met. I’ll get as much attention as if you were here. Let’s see, there’s Mrs. Berry, the-docior’s wife. She’s from Pennsylvania, but she’s no Quaker! Lee’s hands flew at her work while she talked.“Oh, I’ve found there’re quite a number of nice people here. It’s a good clubhouse we have, with pool and billiard tables, a card room, and movies twice » w»ek.” Lee heard a chuckle and looked up to find Curt had returned as silently as he’d slipped out. “Dance? Okay,” he said. “Much as I hate the idea, we’ll go One of these evenings. It’s a promise. Well, I found out what I wanted to know.” He picked up his pipe and knocked out thte cold ashes. His voice was careful as he told her of the footprints he’d found. "But,” he told her, "while I could hear your voice just now, I couldn’t make out what you were saying from this spot. I was a little wor ried for fear we might have been overheard last night. I reckon not. Nevertheless, we’ll have to be care ful of what we say from now on.” “And you suspect Ines.” “Yes. If it were only Ines, I could put it down to housemaid’s curiosity. But there’s this greasy Vargas. I have a definite feeling he’s more than a bodyguard—a spy on me in the field.” Lee said nothing, but her eyes clouded. Sounds from the kitchen now ceased. “Well, she’s through for the day,” Curt said. “We can make certain. I can watch her leave from the bedroom—it’s dark. You keep on talking.” The back door closed and steps descended to the ground. The bam boo drops were down all around the living room so that no one out side could see what went on within. Curt left Ihe room. Lee didn’t snick- m At the bedroom window Curt first used only his ears. er this time, hut there was the hint of a smile in her voice as she spoke up. “Well, if I could get a date for a dance the first time I talked to thin air, perhaps this time I can get you started on that collection of orchids for me. After all, you prom ised . . .” At the bedroom window Curt first used only his ears. He listened to the. pad of footsteps going to the gate, the normal click of the latch. PresenUy came a rustle of shrub bery and he knew his guess was cor rect. Therecouldbenodoubt The rattan screen at the bedroom window was down. In lifting it aside to peer out, Curt made the slightest of sounds. Instantly his straining eyes caught a flicker of shadow slip ping into solid darkness around the corner of the house. Quickly fol lowed the click of the gate latch again, muffled this time, but un mistakably -the gate latch. He frowned. On the morrow the weather Held hot, and coupled with the ever-pres ent Emilio, it didn’t improve Curt’s disposition. It was midmoming when Curt and his shadow reached Tempujo for their trip upriver. By phone from San Alejo Curt had or dered the launch fueled and ready. He intended wasting no time here. But file need of a map or two took Wm first to his office. As he was about to turn into, it a figure rose from under a palm and Curt was accosted by one of the most disreputable looking tramps he’d yet seen in the tropics. An American, clearly, but the ‘many days’ growth of beard, the filthy rags he wore, effectively concealed what kind of man this was. “Mr. Curtis, sir?” in a cringing voice. “Yes,” Curt answered shortly. He hated subservience in a man. “My name is Collins, sir. I’m looking for work.” Curt eyed the man. The eyes were bloodshot and told unquestion ably of hunger—real hunger. “ Well?” “I’m a good transitman, sir, and I’m good on gas engines or Diesels. I heard you need men.” Curt stood silent. There were plenty of tropical tramps in these quarters — drunken, irresponsible men, all of them fugitives, if not from the law. then from themselves. Curt had sufficient sympathy to give such derelicts a IifL from his own pocket, or s litlle-work if-h© comW-- enough to carry them on to some other place. But he knew he could place no reliance in them, and from the stand point of efficiency it didn’t often pay to take them on. In this case, how? ever, , something in the man’s bear ing, drooping though it was, didn’t quite match the rest of him, and Curt was sufficiently intrigued to pause. Emilio unwittingly settled the matter. He was standing by, eyes veiled. By now Curt could read the native’s dead eyes, and the disap proval Curt saw there was enough to swing his decision. Curt nodded toward the door and the man fol lowed him inside. Emilio brought up the rear. Lauriano Duro, the draftsman in charge of the office, was bent over his work. “Anything for my attention?” asked Curt. “No, sir.” The native straightened up, looked at the three, and Curt thought he caught a flicker of Emilib’s eyelids before the draftsman bent over his table again. In silence Curt selected the maps he wanted, together with a bundle of white flags. He took down from a shelf a company camera, loaded it deliberately, handed the lot to Emilio. “Put them aboard, and get some lunches packed at the mess-hall. It’ll be better than what they could put up for us over at the levee camp. See to it there’s plenty of coffee- black.” Then, as Emilio hesitated, he barked, “Well! That’s all! We’ve no time to waste.” Emilio departed, and this time Curt definitely caught the flicker of eyes that Vargas aimed at Lauriano Duro as he turned to the door. Curt spoke to the stranger. “All right, Collins, where you from?” “Illinois, sir.” “How long you been down here?” “Four years, sir.” “Not so much ‘sir,’ if you don’t mind!” Curt was rapidly getting in a mood. The prospect of two days of Emilio was facing him. “What’ve you done to keep going these four years?” ‘‘Worked most of the time, s i- worked, here and there. I’ve han dled a Diesel shovel,, done rough carpentering, used a transit.” “Where’d you come from last?” “I’ve been, up at the Rosario mines on the hydraulic pumps.” “Why’d you leave?” “Fired.” “Drunkenness?”“Yes, sir.” “I said I don’t like the ‘sir* ! Well, I don’t know what I can do for you. I've got to depend on the men un der me and I won’t hire booze hounds.” “I’m hungry, Mr. Curtis, and I’m a good worker. I don’t get drunk very often. I can keep away from it, honest. I’ll promise to leave it alone, if you’ll give me a chance. I'll- ” “Don’t snivel. Here,” Curt sighed, “let’s see what you look like on pa per. Fill this out. Make it snappy, I’ve only a few minutes to spare.” The man took the application blank, sat down at a table and com menced writing. Curt loaded his pipe while he studied the man’s back. He paced for a few moments, forgot to pull on his pipe, had to light it again. ’ “Lauriano!” “Yes sir?” “Here.” He handed the native & bill. “Get roe a tin of Briggs and a couple cartons of candy bars. Any kind. Put them aboard the launch and hurry back, I haven’t much time this morning.” The candy bars was an old trick of Curt’s. It was his theory that the more candy a man consumed the less alcohol his system craved. The native hesitated, but under the glower Curt gave him, depart^ in haste. Lauriano Duro hadn't the pertinacity of his compatriot,, Var gas. The screen door had no soon er slammed after him than Curt ap proached the man at the table. “Stand up!” Collins rose to his feet. Curt looked him steadily in the eye' a moment, then reached out and ripped open the shirt. It practically came apart. The man’s head jerked up. Curt grunted. “Thought so)' Collins’ skin was smooth and health ily tanned—and clean! The flesh was firm and hard, no ribs showed. The man was in the pink of condition, other appearances notwithstanding. “All right, out with it, and quick. What do you want?” It was a different voice Collita used in answering; as he tucked the shirt together again and under his belt, a calm enough voice if not as sured. “Just what I asked for, a job.” “Why the disguise?” A silence greeted this. “Quick, man, why’d you come to me?” “I came to see Mr. Mitchell; but got here too late. Mr. McInnisf across the river,' told mn to set you.” “Why?” “I want a job.” Curt grunted again. “Collins! Co! lins! Sure!” The name had sudden Iy clicked.

L esson fo r Ja n u a ry 17 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Beligious Education; used by permission. JESUS WINNING SOULS LESSON TEXT—John 4:27-42.GOLDEN TEXT-He- that reapeth receive d wages, and gatheretb fruit unto Ufe eternal.—John 4:36. Man’s need is the same wherever and whoever’he may be. The Christ who met the need of the distin guished religious leader Nicodemus did the same for the poor sinful woman of Samaria. The incident at Jacob’s well in Sychar took place when Jesus, leav ing Jerusalem because of increas ing hindrance to^His work, went up to Galileel Unlike His Jewish breth ren, who detoured around the land of the hated “half-breed” Samari tans, He “must needs go through Samaria,” for there was a sin-sick soul, that needed ,Him. Our lesson abounds with instruc tion regarding soul-winning, both in principle and in practice. We here find JTesus: I. Winning a Sonl-Winner (w . 27- 30). The faithful and kindly ministry of Christ led the woman to faith in Him as the Messiah. She left hc-r water pot and ran at once into the city to share her new-found joy with everyone she knew. Since the first expression of spirit ual life is testimony, the one who brings a sinner to Christ not only saves a soul, but also wins a worker for Christ. One fears that we often assume that winning men to CSirist is enough. We should expect that the new light should shine forth into the darkness. So we have a two-fold reason for soul-winning; saving a soul from perdition, and setting a life on fire for testimony. It’s a great business. Why don’t we do more of it? n . Instrneting Sonl-Winners (w . 31-38). This work of soul-wlnning requires a sustaining grace which this world cannot give. Jesus by His own ex ample showed His disciples how that strength comes Irom above. He who had seated Himself at the well, tired and hungry, to await the return of the disciples with food, had been refreshed in file doing of the Father’s will—in reaching this for lorn woman. “The greatest thing that ever occurs in the world is the transformation of a human soul, and the greatest joy anyone can ever have is to act as the divine agent in bringing about such a transformation” (Douglass). There is another thing these soul- winners needed to learn—even as we need to learn and re-learn it— that the time to win souls is. now; How prone the human being is to procrastinate. Tomorrow—next Sun day-next week, we will speak to soiineone about his spiritual need. Next year we will give more liber ally for missions, or foT the work of soulrwinning in our local church. But “look on the fields.” Do you not see “that they are ripe already unto harvest” ? Again, soul-winners need to re member our Lord’s words in verses 36-38. Not only the reapers receive the reward, but also those who sow and those who labor in order that the harvest may come. The man who plows is just as important as the one who reaps—perhaps some would say more important. Some of us who are called to be God’s plow men should remember that and be encouraged in our labors. Like the perfect leader that He was, Jesus did not require of His disciples what He did not do Hint- self. So we find Him again in the work of evangelism. He practiced what He preached. ni. Practicing Soul-Winiiing (w . 39-42). There is real danger that those of us who have a measure of leader ship in the church may be quick to tell others what they ought to do— and not do it ourselves. This is particularly true in this matter of soul-winning. One is apt to write, preach and teach about it, and then neglect to do it. The disciples had been to town for bread. One wonders whether they had talked to file store-keeper about Christ. Have you? Jesus did not theorize about it— He really sought men for God. The testimony of the woman He had won sent a host of people out from the city. He spoke to them the word of life and they believed. ' ' ■ This was evidently "group evan gelism” as distinguished from the “personal evangelism” which won the woman. They are both impor tant, and belong together. Some are saying that the days of group, evan gelism are gone. - We doubt that, but certainly the days of personal evan gelism are always here. Let us be busy about that kind of soul-winning —and God may so bless that we will have'a real revival. A reyouready for it?

JANUARY 13.1943 M c w fo iU at turned off the hum:Margarrt vacuum cleaner, and the slipcovers of the armchair and the daybed that she had pushed UQj to go over the rug. Then she stood' quite still in the doorway and looked' at the small bedroom w ithjts south ern exposure. It was as neat and, impersonal as a pin. It might never have been lived In. The door stood open on the clean, bare closet.. Thera was not a pennant, not a team picture, not even so much as an old Arithmetic book' left to show whose room it had once been. Margaret stared at the walls, the fu rn itu re, andi deeply, slowly, she realized that no matter what lodg ers with their own trinkets and pic tures might occupy it, she would al ways see it the old way. It was IJie old way that she saw it now. A pair of hard-worn gray pants lay on the floor where they had been dropped. Three baseball bats were stacked with a fishing rod in the corner. A battered red cap with a letter on it lay on the bed. And through the bed, as though it were transparent, Margaret saw another bed, smaller, and with Ugh slatted sides.She put the vacuum cleaner away and went down to her desk in the sitting-room. ,She took the fifteen dollars rent that the new lodger had paid that morning in advance for the room, and added to it, from her purse, three dollars and sevenly-flve cents more. Then she drew out a sheet of paper and began to write on it, slowly, gravely. “To buy a bond to help train a young man to replace Don, Jr. killed on June 6th in the Battle of Midway.” (Letter irom an actu*l communication In Am flits of th» Treasury SeIp our boys.

"Now can’t we write my letter?”“Why, of course, Betsy,” Mrs. Carson grinned. “Are you goi&g to write It or am I?”“Well," Betsy said. “Maybe you’d better kind of say it to me. Only I’d love to write it.”“AU right, then, Miss Carson, take a letter,” her mother said, walking slowly up and down the room. “Ready? ‘Dear Mr. Morgenthau: The way I save money for War Stamp buying is to steer all the small household jobs toward my daughter, who is eight years old.

Gravely Mrs.. Carson took the pen to sign.“Mother, would it be the proper etiquette if I signed it too?” “Perfectly proper, I think,” Mrs. Carson said without a smile, and handed the pen back to Betsy.(Letter from an actual communication in the files of the Treasury Department.)* • • Every member of the family Aould invest in America’s future.

For more than twenty- eight years my Quiet Corner mes sages have appeared in the Union Republican, along with various oth er articles and poems, and have been read by many thousands of people Quite a number of publl* cations today use my productions, giving me a vast host of readers. My writing rppears under two gen eral headings, namely, "T he Quiet Corner," and’ ‘Life’sB etter W ay.” However, a number of public tions use my productions otherwise than under these headings It is a great and wonderful op portunity I have to reach tens of thousands of people through the press that I could not possibly reach otherwise. God surely has opened this channel for the good of mankind and His glory. One of the greatest encouragements and inspirations of my ministry is to know that my readers appreciate my efforts to serve them through tbe press, and have expressed their appreciation through the years by their kind letters and splendid o f_ feriogs. This has given me coar age and zeal to go forward in the Master’s name and service to win precious souls and bless mankind, thus helping a vast host of pilgrims heavenward. How I appreciate my faithful readers and supporters! May God’s blessings thrill their souls and crown their lives tempor ally and spiritually. Amen! A little more than ten years ago I was in a revival at Green Valley Methodist church, Ashe county, and met a young man by tbe name of George Hoover, a spirit-filled, noble youth. He was a great help and encouragement In the meeting.

Isenhour: — I will write you a few lines to let you hear from me. I still love you and still pray for you, and I want vou to pray for me and my family .I read your messages and they make me cry and pray and thank God. I don’t guess you have forgotten me. I have thought many times abont you. I helned you in a meeting at Green Valley, Ashe county, a few years ago. I live at Creston now, and have Ixmght me a home and fifty-one acres of land. Thank God. I prom ised the Lord if He would help me get a home I would serve Him tbe rest of mv life. Praise His name. H e has helped me in a wonderful way. I want you to prav for me and my wife and boy. He sure can sing well. Everybody loves to hear him. I am sending you five dollars to help vou in the good work you 'are doing Brother, I love God and want you to use it to His glory. I would like to see you. Yonr brother in Christ, GEORGE HOOVER. Tbank God for this verv encour aging letter and tbe offering.. Hal lelujabl Brother George, it does me good deep down in my heart to know that you are still going on with tbe Lord, and that He is bles sing vou so much, both temporally and spiritualty. Well, it pays in deed to live for God and.be true I am so glad you read mv messages and that they are a great blessing to your ljfe. Yonr godly life, your encouraging words and splendid of fering, proving yonr appreciation of mv writings, certainly enconr. ages me to go on in the Master’s service until the last mile of tbe race is ran, the las battle fought and tbe final victorv is won. I want to meet you in heaven some sweet day, along with my many thousands of readers. Pray much and be true to God. They Made It PIaio Enough Food Administration Wickard and Elmer Davis, of the office t f war information,-- presented tbe food rationing program so simply yet so forcefully that all can under stand the need and admit its rea sonableness. These gentlemen beaded off a lot of gripping before it could get started. True, Don E. Montgomery, re tiring consumers’ counsel in tbe Agriculture department immediate Iy objected that “ To avoid tipping off trade speculators, pantry board ers and pocketbook patriots, ra tioning plan should be announced in advance,” but he probably wrote bis piece before Messrs. Davis and Wickaid took to the air Sunday night. Mr. Davis took particular pains to meet this argument, right at the start. He admitted that ordinarily advance notice of rationing should be avoided for obvious reasons, but contended that in this Case it. is necessary for tbe oeople to become acquainted with tbe details of the program which can’t be fully in troduced in a day. x If the American people are hon est and unwilling to subscribe to a lie, there will be little backfire caused by the advance announce ment. For when they go-to get their new ration cards they will be expected to truthfully “declare” their stocks of rationed foods and the points involved will be deduct ed. T hat’s expecting a lot. Some of us still subscribe to the theory that all is fair in love and war, and telling a fib about our stock of food mith a straight face will be easier when that is a part of our creed. Mr. Montgomery’s trade specu lators, pantry boarders and pocket- book patriots, could get into a peck of trouble by not toting fair about this food situation. They might find it not worth tbe candle. Some body might even land in jail In which case they would'have only themselves to blame. No one could listen attentively to the words of Davis and Wick- ard without being impressed with the need tor rationing and convinc ed that the need is immediate and imperative. They gave all whys and wherefores, and now it is for our soldiers to get into uniform and undergo all the readjustments of their lives so necessary to make them good fighters. If we set ont to board snd then lie about it. we can’t call ourselves good Americans, and needn’t be surprised if our hand is called.—Statesville Daily Why Repeal? By W. G.

W ondertf that takes in "fireside chats” too? Congressmen resent tbe news papers ridiculing them, but they should be thankful.

Their rationing worries were those of life and death, not mere conveni ence.

No protests about coffee, sugar, butter, or meat short- [ages; but prayers for food of any kind. As Rickenbacker recalls, "we or ganized little prayer meeting even ings and mornings, taking turns reading passages from the Bible and humbly praying for delivery.” And Eddie, who bad rarely men tioned religion befor- in his specta cular career, declared: ‘ An hour after a prayer meeting a seagull came in and landed on my head.” Like tbe early. settlers of Utah, who e-ected a monument to the sea gulls for saving their first crops from a horde of crickets, tbe stranded fliers became convinced of direct an swer to prayer.

MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Personalities in the News Consolidated Features.—WMU Release. "Mf EW YORK.—Scouting optimists ’ in the news around the New Year, one finds Dr. Thomas Midgley Jr. becoming president of the Ameri- HoldsScience Will Clear the Way for after years Peace,Abundance of 1JopejuI ' prophecy and dotted-line achievement. Among his prophecies have been his forecast of about three quadrillion dollars’ worth of gold to be taken from sea water, inter-planetary travel, age control and the end of indigestion by the use of hormones. His achievements, which are many, include his discovery of tetraethyl lead as a gasoline anti-knock compound, his development of non-toxic and non- inflammable refrigerants and his many contributions to basic re search in synthetic rubber proc esses. As to the mundane outlook in general, Dr. MidgIey takes the cheerful view that the potential creativeness and productiveness of science, with its command of ' new energies and processes, will clear the way for peace and abundance in spite of our col lective stupidities and villainies. These alluring, if remote, hori zons, Dr. MidgIey sees from his wheel chair in Worthington, Ohio, having been stricken with infantile paralysis in 1940. Thus afflicted, he has continued his research, with no slackening of either work or fervor, and a pos sibly heightened belief in some kind of happy ending, or rather fulfillment for the comedie hu- maine. His story would he a case in point for Thomas Mann, who says the calmest faith and truest personal integrity is attained through suffering. In Cornell university, where he was graduated in 1911, it was said that young Midgley would coast ■ along through routine work, but was I always busy on something out of the j groove—some idea of his own. This ; inclined him quickly to research and before he had been out of college a year he was threading the sub atomic maze of synthetic rubber. It was in the years from 1922 Jo 1926 that he brought through his knock- less gasoline, which bloomed into the impressive ethyl gasoline indus try, with headquarters at Detroit, of which industry he is vice president. In his wheel chair, he is a big busi ness executive, with special tele phone rigs to make his inter-office communication around the country easy and casual—like everything else about him. Speaking of attainment through frustration, he worked with telluri um when he was bringing through his pon-toxic refrigerants and that permeated his genial person with a powerful odor of garlic. He took scientific measures—something like protective coloring. When he trav eled, he found in the smoking car the closest possible concentration of bad cigars. The fragrance of garlic was just a harmless added starter here, and nobody noticed him. He is resourceful, diligent, optimistic. *---- p ERSONS who have been a bit jittery about the government tell ing us where to work and what to do may be assured by the public record H C lIS w O a r J dS S War Manpower Clark, the With Blackstone ^ ew Yo?klawyer who drafts the quite unprecedented and drastic manpower bill for Paul Mc Nutt. A stanch advocate of com pulsory military service, and of any and all methods necessary for na tional survival, Mr. Clark has been' at the same time an alert and out spoken defender of civil liberties. He is a pioneer of the Plattsburg system and chairman of the Na tional Emergency Committee of the Military Training Camps, and an active advocate of a big and strong army, but he is a wary opponent of anything suggesting a military caste. In May, 1931, he said: “My experience in the war de partment has led' me to distrust the participation of army or navy ex perts in affairs of national policy.” Similarly, he has opposed any encroachment on Constitutional safeguards by bureaucrats, or excessive centralization of gov ernment which might endanger individual liberties. He may be cited as a conspicuous holdout against both the weakness of a peace-loving democracy and the aggression of militarists and war-planners who might save the country but leave it no long er a democracy. He thinks we can keep both the Bill of Rights and a strong wallop. That seems to be the nub of the ar gument, as military urgency closes in on manpower—our most free and footloose zone of casual and migra tory tradition. Maybe we never wanted to’ move to Perth Amboy, but it’s tough if anybody says we can’t. Mr. Clark knows all about that. He drafted the original se lective service act, and kept1 it le gally in bounds. Mr. Clark was bom in New York in 1882, was graduated from Harvard in 1903 and practiced law in New York. 1111 Shown af left is Gen. Henri Giraud, successor of the slain Adm.

F irst place went to Gary Cooper for his work in “The Pride of the Yankees” and to Greer Garson on the strength of her performance in “Mrs. Mini ver.” Walter Pidgeon got second and third in the masculine line-up, Frederic March fourth and Monty Wooley fifth place. Joan Fontaine came in second among the girls for “Suspicion,” Bette Davis followed her with “Now, Voyager,” Katharine Hepburn and Teresa Wright finish the list. Back in 1934, when Anne Shirley was known as Dawn O’Day, she ap peared with Ginger Rogers in a pic ture called “Finishing School.” Now she’ll work with Ginger again, in ANNE SHIRLEY “The Gibson Girl,” based on the ro mance of Charles Dana Gibson and his wife Anne’s come along far enough in the meantime to rate a top role in this picture, which will be produced in Technicolor. Incidentally, Ginger Rogers de serves a few laurels for following m Bette Davis’ footsteps and letting herself be photographed as a gawky, unglamorous youngster in “The Ma jor and the Minor.” Proved that, though her face may not always be pretty, it can’t help being interest ing. Which is more than can be said for some of our screen stars, who’d be lost without makeup. Bill Goodwin’s been hot-footing it from stage to stage on the Para mount lot lately; he’s playing in his second and third pictures simultane ously. They’re “No Time for Love” and “Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour” ; not bad for a newcomer! Three former screen stars—Sally 'Eilers, Leila Hyams and Eileen Percy—demonstrate approved first aid. methods in Metro’s new short, “In Which We Serve.” They’re all qualified Red Cross teachers. - In “A Night to Remember” the cops come into their own. Director Richard Wallace didn’t have them wear derby hats or big shoes, or be so dumb that the picture’s, stars out smarted them; in fact, Wallace claims that he and the writer had to work hard to keep the officers from solving the crime before Brian Aheme and Loretta Yotmg did. High time the sleuths were made human! The role in the stage version of “Lady in the Dark” that made Holly wood producers clamor for Victor Mature goes to Jon Hall in the movie version of the play—he won’t have to do much but stand around and hear the girls talk about how handsome he is. The leading role is Ginger Rogers’ (she seems to bob np all through this column!) and she’ll have a chance to sing, dance and act.

FeMture--Throaeb special airangan with Cottiers Weekly) Out there In Australia, certain novelties of aviation greatly interest Yank fighting birdmen who roost down between their walloping flights against the no-longer-so-cocky Jap- pies. One of the first observations a Yank airman is likely to make at cocktail parties is that Aussie wom en are universally air-minded; per haps more so than their menfolk. Vfhile at Aussie fields, probably the first unusual thing to catch his eye is the omnipresent Aussie version of WAAFs. Here they add an “a" for aviation: meaning Women’s Auxil iary Australian Air force. What the famous Australian accent does to the W-triple-a-fs is beyond me to reproduce phonetically. The WAAAFs work right up in the-advanced combat zones. They’ve had casualties. Their commander is Wing OfiScer- Clare Stevenson, a charming 36-year-old feminist cham pion. WAAAFs practically run the whole ground show—clerking, serv ing messes, cooking, driving cars and trucks, tailoring, folding chutes, administering, handling all tele phone, cipher and radio communi cations, and even “manning” radio location detectors, and making en gine and plane repairs. They live and mess exactly on the same basis as soldiers; are permitted but one concession to their sex—hairdress ers. They wear Air Force Blue uni forms off duty; blue overalls and berets on duty. Stork Travels by Air. The harshness and loneliness of Australia’s frontier life is empha sized to interested Yanks by a serv ice that is unique to Australia—the renowned Australian Aerial Medical service; popularly, the Flying Doc tors. They have six bases in the more than two million square miles of bush, or outback, as it’s variously called. Some'250 principal home steads have radio sets for which power is generated by a contraption like a bicycle pedal. When a doctor is needed, a messenger may ride horseback as much as 100 miles to a homestead with a radio. From here, a call is sent to the nearest Flying Doctor station,, perhaps an other 600 miles away. Doc climbs into his plane with his pilot—or flies himself if the pilot isn’t handy—as matter-of-factly as our country doctors used to climb into their buggies and whip up their horses. The planes are single-motor jobs, with a stretcher in die cabin. The doctor lands as close as possible to the ailing one. He is prepared to operate, deliver, or treat on the scene, if necessary; or fly the patient to civilization and a-hos pital. Truly, the stork travels by air in Australia. Last year, these little-sung medical heroes flew near ly 150,000 mercy miles. Country With a Future. For their nightly bun session at fields outside Port Darwin, Towns ville, or a dozen secret rookeries outback, thoughtful young Ameri cans find boundless subjects for dis cussion in the special air-transpor- tation chances that Australia poses. The Big Dipper has seen more of mankind’s purposeful comings and goings than the Southern Cross. So tiuz island continent, sidetracked from ancient, historic trade and ex pansion routes of the Northern hemi sphere, will loom in the postwar world as a challenge to the poten tialities of air transport. With fewer inhabitants now than the state of New York or the city of London, in an area as large as the ' whole United States, Australia can be drawn closely by airway netting into the international web of good neighbors. Then watch her growl Se imaginative Yank fliers say rub bing their hands, planning splendid tomorrows—and perceiving with awe for the first time the true capacity of the airplane as a gourmand of distances. Wifli peace, the Yank airmen sea Australia only two or three days from home by plane, instead of 10, as by fastest prewar steamers. Al ready the route has been flown by our Generals Brett and Araohl in SiKidd hours. Today Australia is a five-city na tion. Brisbane, Sydney, M elbourne, Adelaide and Perth, each is in its way a nostalgic bit of England.Behind them lies the strange, wild continent — largely unknown, un tamed, unrealized, unsettled. Mora than half the totalpopulationisurban. Man has scarcely got beyond the beaches of Australia; registering no more impression upon it than that made upon a polo field by half a dozen colonies of ants in the grass on its border.

Wiilv.W'AS'AV. y i r B udget T hat M eat, Serve Deticious Stews (See Recipes Below) Stretch T hat Meat! Today most of you homemakers find the meat situation actually test ing your mettle. In your trips to the butcher’s you may find many cuts of meat you haven’t used of ten in the past, and less and less of the cuts you know how to use and that your fam ily has eaten rarely. But those are the meals available for your menus, and thus I’m going to give you some first aid in preparing them. Fortunately, the cheaper cuts of meat, along with liver and kidneys and the other entrails not included in the meat rationing program are as rich in proteins and minerals as their better known relatives. Cooked correctly, they can become as pop ular. “Extend the meat” should become the motto of every family for the duration. The way to do it is to include unrationed cuts plentifully through the menus, use cereals and meat extenders such as oatmeal and bread crumbs on rationed cuts, and substitute fowl and cheese in the menu for steaks and chops as often as possible. Veal kidneys combine with beef in this especially delightful and nu tritious stew—and stretch that beef to serve eight people. It’s a color ful main dish with bright carrots and button mushrooms: ♦Beef and Kidney Stew. (Serves 6 to 8) - 3 veal kidneys I pound beef, cut in strips 'I cup sliced carrots I eup sliced onion I cup cubed potatoes 1 cup sliced or button mushrooms 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon salt 2 tablespoons chopped parsley Remove skin and fat from kid neys; soak in cold, salted water for I hour; cover with cold water; bring slower to boiling point.

Then you know it is a dish of distinc tion, worthy of being served even on special occasions: This Week’s Menu •Beef and Kidney Stew Waldorf Salad Rye Bread-Butter Orange Tapioca. Honey Brownies Beverage •Recipe Given Lyna Says: The Score Card: Citrus fruits, apples, Hubbard squash or acorn squash offer bargains during the cool crisp months. Include them in on your menus. What to do about those recipes calling for whipped cream? You can use a little of the cream off the top of the bottle, if you chill it well for a day or so, and chill the bowl which you use for whip ping . . . and the beaters too. Some of the brands of canned milk will also whip, if they’re well chilled, along with the bowl and beaters. If you’re unable to obtain chocolate or cocoa sometimes at the grocer’s, use victory type of cookies utilizing honey, com syr up and the wheat flour for darker cakes.

IEX T-JohIi S:MT.GOLDEN TEXT — WUt -thoui be made whole?—John S:6. IHope of the hopeless, help of the helpless—who would that be, but Jjssus? Coming to Jerusalem for the feast He did not seek out the homes of the mighty, the places of beam ing and culture, but betook Himself to the Pool of Bethesda, where there “jay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered.” Why did He go to such a place? Because He always had compassion upon those in need. ' Iln this multitude He saw at once the neediest man of all—one without friends or loved ones to care for him, despondent and disheartened. What happened that day may well encourage the heart of every sad, lonely, and discouraged one. I We see three things here. ] I. Hopeless Infirmity (w . 1-7). I How weak and helpless IS humani ty. Oh, yes, we seem to be strong, capable, fearless, but only until we dieet some great elemental prob lem. Then we see that we are in deed a great multitude of impotent folk. The gently falling snow stopped .the undefeated Napoleon. The silent fog can paralyze a na tion. Sickness, death—who can stay lieir hand? We need the steady and Jowerful grip of God upon our lives if we are to go through such ex periences. Not only was this man til and weak, but his long years of Stiffering had made him so accus tomed to weakness that he had reached a state of despair; I Such an attitude invites defeat. It may be the only recourse of the man of the world, but with Jesus standing by to help, there is good rjeason for assurance of faith in the darkest hour. I In the face of his need—yes, even ih the light of Jesus’ provision for that need—the leaders of the Jews could only criticize. H. Heartless Religion (w . 10-13, 16-16). I Jesus had done for the man what the Jews had not been able to do; in fact, one wonders whether they had so much as lifted a finger to help this poor sufferer. But now that he was able to walk, they were greatly concerned about the violation of Uieir Saiibath day restriction against any work. Instead of shouting for joy that this man was able to carry not only himself but his bed, they became zealous about maintaining the let ter: of their law. Are there not those in our day who would be greatly disturbed U the deathlike quiet and dignity of their church services were to.be broken by the cry of a new bom babe in Christ? Would a revival be welcomed in the great churches of America which have'lost the savor of Christ and the power of the gos pel? We think not. The man who had been healed an swered well (v. 11). He did not know who Jesus was, but he knew that if He had authority to heal, H e' also had the right to tell him to carry his bed. W henwemeet Jesus we will be healed of our infirmities and, like this man, be delivered from the fear of cold ecclesiasti- cism. But let us turn to the heart ot our lesson, which is the act of Jesus- Ih giving him m . Healing of Body and Sonl (w . 8,'9, 14). The body of this man was miracu lously healed. There: was no par tial improvement, no long drawn out convalescence and regaining of strength. In fact, he was told to do something which called for the full vigor of a healthy body,1 to show that he was healed. Even so when we are healed from sin it is not to a half-dead existence, but to the full vigor of spiritual life. V o are to arise and walk in the power and grace which Christ has brought into our liveb. Note that the miracle performed here was for-the glory of God. The ’miracles of God are not mere mar. vels or wonders. They are not for the advancement of the cause of any man or for personal glory. They* are the mighty signs of an omnipo tent God wrought for the good of men, for their spiritual enlighten ment, and as a testimony to the one true God. ' So in this case Jesus found the man in the'temple to admonish him ti> continue steadfast in the spiritual liberty which had come to him ‘Test a worse thing befaU” him. - Evidently this man’s infirmity had been caused Iqr sin, and even though he had suffered those 38 long years the tendency (toward sin was still alive in his heart S n dies hard. How often have we not seen those Who have cried to God out of their affliction, promising all sorts of spir itual changes if God will deliver them. When He does, they go right back to their old ways. The one who does that may well be looking for the V1Worse thing” Which'will surely befall him.

The transformation started with a heavy cotton twill fabric in a soft tan tone to match the background color of the hooked rug that you see in front of the couch. It was decided not to use any contrasting trimming but to accent the clean- cut box-like edges outlining thei couch pad and cushions with a sec ond seam on the outside, as shown at the right. Couch cover and cushions used 9 % yards of the 36- inch-wide goods. When the smartly tailored cover was completed it was fastened firmly in place with zippers of the type that come apart at the bot tom -one side being stitched to the seam allowance of the cover and the other sewn to the couch pad. Next came the stiff cushions to stand up at the back. These were made with an inside core of news papers tightly bound together with muslin bands and then padded with cotton batting, as shown.

The Congress that is now in ses sion seems to be of t*ie opinion that it takes more than one man to run a country as large and powerfnl this great commonwealth. Some folks who were once hon. est and truthful men, have associa ted with crooked politicians until they are just about as crooked as the gang they have been associate ing with. There are supposed to be about 31 countries fighting the axis pow ers, but we wonder just how many of them are actually helping the United States, Great Britain and Russia. Only a month or two ago there were but few who predicted that the war would end this year. We were one of the few. Today some of the leading men of the country are saying that this year may end the great struggle. The sooner we swat the enemy the better off the world will be. North Carolina is said to have I cash surplus of around thirty mil lion dollars. Better hang on to this surplus as the taxes from the sale of gas, auto lags, and other scarce articles is going to be drastically re duced for the duration. Some of the lawmakers realize this fact, while olhers seem to want to keep on spending so long as there is any money in the treasury.

I have receiv ed several Christmas cards and let ters from folks back home. I was sent from Fresno. California, to Scott Field, Illinois, where I am groin? to school I like Scott Field much better than I did the camp in Fresno I go to school six days a week, and have the seventh day off, I enjoy going to school because I have a chance to learn something in which I am very much interested but have never before had the op portunity to learn. I’ll do my best to help “keep ’em flying." and swat the Japs and Germans off the map. Those poor fools don’t have a chance. I have plenty to eat and a good place to sleep here at Scott Field. This is really a nice camp. In' the day room there is plenty of station ery, chairs and tables, games and reading material. The fellows can use these things at any time they have to spare, and it doesn’t cost them anything I have received several copies of The Davie Record, and I enjoy read-1 ing the "old hometown newspaper.” It’s like getting a letter from home. It’s been snowing here a little to day. So far the weather has been verv pleasant except for one or two cold mornings. I wish to thank all the friends who have written me. or sent me cards or packages. Getting mail from home is the better half of a soldier’s life. Sincerely, PVT “ BOB” J AMES. Notice To Registraots All men in the State of North Carolina between the ages of 18 and 38, who have been subject to Selective Service regigua tion for as long as six months, and who do not have their classification cards, were advised tsday by General J. Van Metts, State Directorof Selective Service, to com- municote with tbeir local boards «t once. On and after February 1st, the Director pointed out. any man in this age group who does not have in his personal pos session his Classification Card (Form 57) as well as ids Certificate of Registration, is liable to fine or imprisonment, or both. The recent order of the SelectiveServlce Bureau of the War Manpower Commission setting the February I deadline for pos session of Classification Cards Dy men of military ages, has met with prompt response in North Carolina, the Director said. Many registrants are reporting to their local boards, requestlon classifica tion or asking tbat lost ClassificationCards be duplicated. However, Director Metts says be believes there are still a few who have failed to get in touch with their boards because of carelessness or negligence. Registrantsin the 45 to-65 yearold group are not affected by the order, and Urec tor Metts said there are actoally only handful of men In the State wbo can be considered as delinquent, according to Se' lective Service regulations, for failure to keep in touch with their local boards. Nevertheless, lie empkasized that in the present emergency no man will be allow ed to avoid military responsibility merely because of failure to keep his local board advised of his whereabouts.

It’s fun and hell, lighting in North Africa. Thet’s what First Liehtenant Thos. W. Ferebee said. He ought to know, because he has been awarded a Dis tinguished Flying Cross and the Air* men’s Medal. He has 24 combat missions to his credit— 11 is a good average, he said, for the period be has been in action, and is D retty lucky to be alive. The crew that be bad to start with are about all gone—just three of them left, and all of them have me dals. Sevenofthe men wbo gave their Iivee w ert award*, d medals too. Lieut. Ferebee says, “My medals don’t make me a hero, tbcugh, just shows I am still giving ’em hell." Commenting on the country Fere- bee wrote, “ Africa is an interesting place to see. It is a place where a kid would stand and stare all day. I see camels and such all the tim e - just running around in the open.” Men of the original crew who made the supreme sacrifice have been re placed by “some mighty good boys, so we are carrying on for ,the other fellows who weren’t so lucky aB we,” the officer writes. . v The letter, written Christmas Eve. and sent to Ferebee’s uncle, C T. Ward, 426 Washington Ave., said: “ I am due for a rest period in a few weeks—where it will be spent I do not know.” He adds, “ But I don’t care to return to the states until this thing is over. I wouldn’t feel right to be over there when my bud dies 8re here. In combat duty you find out who your real friends are.” Lieut. Ferebee is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W, F. Ferebee, of Mocks* ville.

I can’t man age a tete-a-tete very often. You’re from the. Canal Zone. And you drink about as':much as I do. Your gen eral appearance needs ■ to be ex plained:” Curt dared a little guess work. “You came in through Sole- da'd on the destroyer that called there a week ago Monday!" A rigidity in the other convinced Curt he was right. He went on. “You’ve built yourself into a tramp by sleeping in old clothes and not shaving for ten days. Your skin isn’t used to a beard, it itches. You keep scratching your face. But you couldn’t resist the comforts of a clean body. You got those bleary eyes from going without sleep, and that hungry look from doing without food. For about two days, huh? Three days? The whole thing’s a build-up. Why?” Collins gave in. “I needed a good background. Mc- lnnis says I can trust you. I think so, too, first judgment. It’s a long story, and I can’t even give it to you. AU of it, anyway. I’m asking you, as a fellow American,” he empha sized the words, “to give me a job. I want to get established here.” Steps mounted hurriedly to the door in the outer room. The door snapped, open. CuH picked up the application blank CoUins had been working on, and was studying it as Emilio entered, black-browed. "Everything is ready,” the native announced hardily. CuH looked up. “Okay. We’U have to hold it a few minutes. AU right, Collins,” he snapped at the ragged man, “if so happens I do need men. I’U give you a try-out, but you better be as good as you say you are. You can go up to camp with me now.” He looked the man over with dis taste. “First, go to the next room and take oil those rags. Get un der the shower and I’U find you some clean clothes. There’s a ra zor in the bathroom. Get those whiskers off. And hustle it up.” Scarcely a word passed on the chugging, trip to the levee camp. Esteban,; the Carib launch boy, sat at his controls and stared straight ahead. Emilio sulked. As for CoUins, after a few minutes of that stare he simply turned his back on EmiUo and gazed at the river’s I edge sUpping by. CoUins was a Yar stretch from the tramp Of an hour ago. In spare shiH and breeches CuH kept on hand in his Tempujo quarters, Collins showed up a tall, rangy, athletic' person. CuH had plenty to occupy his mind. His guess, confirmed by the otlfer’s silence, that CoUins had come to Soledad on the destroyer, was proof enough that something was brewing. But what? The man had said he came “to see Mitchell,” but Mitch had been dead for days before Collins had— presumably—left the Canal Zone. ’Did he come to investigate Mitch’s death? If so, then he had plenty more to investigate. True, violent deaths of three Americans would assume an importance that Mitchell’s alone didn’t have, but these other deaths hadn’t occurred until Collins was already on his way. So that couldn’t be the answer. Besides, he wouldn’t have needed a disguise for this. Now, it was to the United States’ interest, CuH reasoned, so far as It could to see that peace was pre served throughout these countries. Did it mean that Montaya, innocent as he appeared to be of such aspira tions, actually had poUtical yearn ings?But here again were objections. Dr. Areca, the “provisional” Presi- dente of Tlerra Libre, was a good executive, the people not abused, their economy prospering reasona bly weU. You can’t have a revolu tion among satisfied people.Monahan’s shift was coming off duty as the launch made the levee camp’s landing. CuH took Collins ashore—under Emilio’s watchful eye —and while the camp cook was re plenishing the lunch basket, he turned the man over to Monahan. “Put him on a drag this after noon, Slats. You. can tell one way or another about him by the time I get back this evening. Luck, Col lins.” Curt left his musette bag in camp, went briefly into the few questions accumulated since he was here two days ago, then took off upriver again. *” ■««•* were three of them this time—CuH, Emilio, and the Carib launch boy;. They reached without incident a spot above the C. A. T. holdings, past the point where the Rio Negro levee made an elbow to join the first arm of the Quebrado range. Here CuH had the Indian pull die launch in to the south shore. Then he put on his carefully prepared act. He appeared to deliberate.' “Very well, Emilio,” he said at IaH1 “here’s our program. I want you to pace off the shore line and plant these flags every forty steps. Be sure they can be easily seen from across the river. This . won’t be hard to do, with the river now at a low mark, though you may have to use your machete on small brush. When you reach that bend up ahead, wait for us there. “Meanwhile, Esteban will set me' down at that hiH opposite. I’ll climb, to the highest point, get some pic tures for further study, and come down the other side. The laimch will pick me up, then we’ll cross and get you. Is that clear?” Emilio fumbled with the flags. “Could not Esteban plant the flags? Then I could stay with you—” “We need him on the launch. Nei ther of us could handle it in these rough waters.” For some distance they’d been fighting the increased current of the lower rapids. “But Senor Montaya gave me strict orders—” “Of course, of course?’ Curt in- He could see Emilio was watching terrupted impatiently. “He told me, too. That’s for where there could be danger of attack such as came to Mr, Mitchell.' There can be no danger here.. Conie, we’il have to get going if we’re to get back to camp by dark.” He hustled Emilio, still protesting and blackly reluctant, off along the shore line, jumped back into the launch, and was set down on the oth er shore. As the launch boy headed upstream for the rendezvous, Curt took one look behind him. He could see Emilio was watching him. CuH was now in somewhat fa miliar territory. On this bank rose a considerable hill thickly covered with a jungle of trees, lianas, un dergrowth. Because of the hill, Fin- ca’ Urana, the Associated’s farm, didn’t touch the river at this spot. CuH plunged into a path used by the women of the farm laborers when they came to the river to wash clothes. He picked up a mule trail at the edge of the banana planta tion, broke into a trot. Banana farms are laid out evenly, the “bits” planted twenty feet or so apart. The plants grow rapidly, shooting up suckers, of which the strongest are allowed to remain, and each single plant eventually be comes a ring of plants, like a bed of gigantic cannas. Their long broad leaves meet twenty to thirty feet overhead, allowing only scattered rays of sunshine to reach the.earth. A banana plantation is a lovely, peaceful spot—if one has the time to enjoy it. Through these sunbeams brilliant birds and butterflies dart; there are rustlings underfoot of field rats or iguanas—or snakes; and all is hushed as a green-windowed ca thedral. It was along such a lane, hot, the air still, that CuH trotted. If all went well he could get to the farm house of Urana and back to the riv er in thirty to foHy minutes. He would have to explain this lapse of time, but he’d worry about that later. Out of breath and sweating heav ily, he reached the farmhouse. !US' khaki shiH was dark with perspira tion. There was only a native timekeeper in the farm office, which was the ground floor of the two-story house, while another mozo was rak ing the corral. He looked up, amazed; at the stranger who ap peared out of nowhere, but Curt gave him no chance to put his curi osity into words. He took the initia-tiwp “Donde esta hoy el Senor Mein- nis?” “Creo que fue al TigTe, Senor.” Curt went to the old wall phe^e and turned the handle sharply. The bell in the box tinkled. The thidk soft voice of the exchange operator answered. “Ring Einca Tigre.” He waited.. “Senor McInnis there? How long would it take to bring him to the phone? Oh?” He thought a moment. “All right, thanks,'won’t wait.” He hung up. He couldn’t risk half an hour. His eye fell on a typewriter. Seiz ing a piece o f paper, he rolled, it into the machine and began'to punch out a note: “Jerry. You’ve heard of Zora Mitchell and Bill Henderson without a doubt.' Convinced of danger here, but don’t know what it is. Old Man Moore has confidential file on every one of consequence in Tierra Libre. Hates to give out but I must know all I can about Montaya. Make him spill to you, and meet me at River- bend about nine Saturday night. Hir ing Collins, no chance to talk to him yet. C.” He cast about for an envelope, found one, sealed and addressed his message. The native timekeeper had been staring at him throughout all this, half in amazement, half in resent- mmt. Curt asked, his name. “B |fael Diaz, Senor.”. “Bueno, Rafael,” said Curt. “Tell no one about this. See that Senor McInnis gets this as soon as possi ble. Phone him to come here. Put it in his hands yourself. Under stand?” As CuH made off at a trot across the clearing, to disappear under the banana plants, the timekeeper, note in one hand, money in the other, shrugged his shoulders, muttering, “Locos — todos locos, Americanos. Siempre tienen prisa . . .” (These crazy Americans, always in a hur ry.) On his way back to the river Curt thought of his sweat-sodden shirt He ripped it off as he trotted and let the breeze he created nearly dry it by the time he reached the hill, when he put it on again. It would still show wet but that coutd be accounted for by his exertions along the river. He saw a brilliant orchid in bloom, an epiphyte fastened to a slender dead tree limb within reach. It was one of the “butterfly” orchids Lee wanted, and had two three-foot candelabra branches covered with dozens of small bright yellow blooms, like butterflies alighted. Here was his excuse for lost timet Curt put on the rest of his act with deliberation. He studied the opposite shore, the rising hills be hind, put away his field glasses, took his pictures, then fought his way through the undergrowth down the hill to meet the launch. “It was some time you were gone from view,” said Emilio, when at last picked up. The man was jit tery. “I worried. You. had diffi culty?” “Some,” admitted CuH. “But this is what lost me many minutes. My wife wants an orchid collection. She had one when we lived here be fore.” Curt exhibited the plant with such real pride that it appeared to satisfy Emilio, and the man fell into narrow-eyed sultenness. “Well, Tm through here,” said Curt, tapping the camera. “Let’s go.” They picked up the flags Emilio had planted—in his pictures they would mark 100-foot intervals, though this was no more essential to Curt than the pictures. But the ruse had worked. During this proc ess Curt also hunted a couple more orchids to bolster his excuse for the delay across the river. ' Then they proceeded to eat lunch in the boat, in the lengthening after noon shade of a stand of mangroves. Roots of these trees, sprouting from branches in midair, had taken hold in the river bottom, making a nat ural awning against the sun. Perched on a branch not far from the launch, a noisy kiskadee jawed incessantly. Esteban, the Carib, called it a “heet-gee-gee.” At first it was merely annoying, but before the meal was finished the bird had become a definite nuisance. CuH pulled'his pistol, took aim, fired. His brows shot up in aston ishment! There had been no kick when he squeezed the trigger, and the bul let, expelled without force, made a curious arc and plopped harmlessly into the water. He tried another shot, but with the same result. Then he removed the.-clip and examined the remaining bullets. They seemed to be all right. The brass shell case from the first shot had ejected over the side, but the second had fallen into the boat. CuH picked it up and examined it. Undoubtedly, it was from the same lot as the rest of the clip. Suddenly he noted that Emilio’s sul- lenness had disappeared, that the native was eyeing the proceedings with a dead-pan countenance and completely indifferent eyes. The bird meanwhile had merely hopped a: couple of steps at each shot and was still jabbering its rauc ous notes. CuH snapped home the clip, tried a third shot Another dull thud. So he shrugged, rehot- stered the 1 automatic, and saM “Huh. Bad lot of ammunition." Noffiing more. /TO BE CONTltiVhO,' Work of Champion Quilt Maker Is a Challenge to AU Sewers By CHERIE NICHOLAS QUILTING has been an important part of the fashion scene for many weeks now, with accessories, jackets, coat linings and even skiHs made warm as well as attractive by the quilting technique. Home sewers, with a tremendous quantity of quilted fabrics available by the yard, have been having fun turning out their own quilted creations. Of course, you may not want to tackle anything so ambitious right away, but the quilt illustrated in the above picture gives you an idea of what can be done by one who makes quilting her hobby. An ill ness which, ten years ago, confined her to her home for many weeks, has brought to Mrs. Bertha Stenge of Chicago national recognition as champion quilt maker. While she was idle and unable to carry on her usual activities of car ing for her home and her flower garden, Mrs. Stenge noticed a Chi cago newspaper was promoting a quilt-making contest. She decided to enter the contest, just to' ^et started on a hobby and keep herself occupied. She did not win a prize in this contest, but the quilt she entered won a prize at a ,later contest and since that time she has made 20 quilts, all of which have won cash awards and blue ribbons throughout the country. Mrs. Stenge has won nearly 40 prizes in her ten years of entering contests. She has never sold any of her quilts although she has been requested many times to place a sales price on one or another of them. She says she cannot evalu ate in dollars and cents the six months or more of effort it takes to make a quilt.Her Bible quilt has won repeated awards in various contests. In this design, she has pictured incidents of Qie Bible—Moses in the bulrushes, Daniel in the lion’s den, Jo nah and the whale and others. Still another unusual design is her Fam ily History quilt. From old por traits, Mrs. Stenge worked into the design, pictures of her father and mother, herself as she staried to school, her husband and her daugh ters, as well as incidents of her married life. In the above illustra tion Mrs. Stenge is displaying a portion of the Family History quilt and the original photographs. The insets show other motifs from Mrs. Stenge’s quilts. Yler top honor up to this year was $750 won at the New York World’s fair. RecenQy, she won the region al contest of $100 and the sweep stakes prize of $1,000 in a national needlework contest conducted by Woman’s Day magazine.' Mrs. Stenge has won state prizes in Kentucky, home of the appli- qued quilt and where fine quilt mak ing is taken as a matter of course. She has won top honors in state, county and city contests in Illinois and just to prove she has abilities in other directions, one year at the Cook County fair she won three bak ing prizes as well as four quilt prizes. The quilt which won her the sweepstakes prize in the Woman’s Day contest was a Victory quilt, an original design. It has a ’shield out lined in blue and appliqued with white stars around an American ea gle in blue, with the Liberty Bell in blue above it. Red V’s are placed at each corner with the Victory sign —three dots and a dash—beside each V. Blue stars are used as a border around the quilt.An alphabet quilt for a child’s bed is another consistent prize winner. And now she is.working on a “quilt of quilts.” This will display minia ture replicas of standard and fa mous quilt patterns.,Mrs. Stenge is a graduate of the University iff California, where she majored in art. Her husband is an attorney. Tliey have three daugh. ters and two grand-daughters. Released by Western Newspaper Union.' Expertly Styled This season's fur coats are noted for their versatile styling. The flat ter furs. are taking on the suave lines o t tailored cloth and the fetch ing details that give interest to fab ric handling are being matched in fur technique. .In the high-styled oce lot coat here' shown this 'point of expert styling is clearly demonstrat ed. The rolled collar; facing, pock ets and Qe-fastening, which is drawn through slits at the side and tied in front (leaving the back loose), give a very youthful effect. F rin g e-T rim in ed 1 In the new collections many .charming print frocks are seen that are trimmed with fringe. In the newest technique the fringe is ar ranged in two tiers on the skirt Feature War Stamp Prints for Spring Prints will have an exciting story to tell, judging from advance show ings. Perhaps the most unique and outstanding at this stage of the game is Qie new war-stamp print. It has boutonnieres of war stamps spaced all over the background. A dress made of this print with Qe- fastenings of self fabric is very new looking and, being prettily col ored, is exceedingly attractive. Cross-stitch prints for children’s dresses are something to consider when buying wash materials for home sewing. You’ll love these prints and they authentically repro-. duce colorful cross-stitch embroid ery effects. Border prints are being used most intriguingly, sometimes with flowers massed at the waistline or along one- side fastenings that extend from neck to hemline. The rest of the gown is made of the simple- far spaced IitQe design. Satin Sports Frocks Make Debut in Spring Showings Here’s the latest! It’s the charm ing little sports frocks that have just made their debut in the early spring showings. Fashioned of lus trous cotton-and-rayon slipper satin they are in the most delectable pas tels you can ever imagine.. Their sophistication is in the strict simplicity observed in their styling. Some button' with the new pottery buttons in the same shade as the satin. Others indulge in self-fabric ties all the way down the front or side fastening. You can get these adorable dresses in such ravishing shades as copper pink, aqua, ice blue. For winter up north they look charming under fur coats, and Qiey will be delightfully wearable later on at sports frocks. ^ COLDS'MISERIES ^ P b ih r O For colds’cough., na&al congestion, muacla KheagetPenefcro—modern modi cation in s mutton d iet base. 254, doable m psbr 36#.

C.. JANUARY 20. 1943 B e iU s "AU right, Bessie,” said the boss of fiie litfle factory which was making jackets for soldiers. “Did you want to see me about something?The thin middle-aged woman stood up from the chair in the outer office and looked earnestly at the boss with her huge, grave gray eyes. “It’s about this ten percent pledge,” she began. .“Ok that’s all right, Bessie,” the boss said. “I’d been meaning to speak to you about that. We dont expect you to pledge ten percent of your pay for War Bonds like the others are doing. We know you nave a hard time making ends meet since Jake died. Eleven kids, isn’t it?

The boss shut the door and sat down.“I’ve just seen the greatest single sacrifice I know of,” the boss said. “Listen, if you want to hear what American women are made of . . .” (Story from an actual report in the files -of the Treasury Depart ment.)• • * Are you making a sacrifice?

Both ladies wore their most solemn, funereal expressions.“A mighty severe blow,” Mrs. Worthington said. “Mighty severe. To lose your only son, the mainstay of your declining years. And such a dreadful death, too—to go down with a ship. Mercy!”“The first of ouf boys from Hand County to go, too,” Mrs. Kimball said, mournfully. “I wouldn’t blame Sophia Hardy for feeling right bitter.” They stood on the simple stone doorstep, with downcast eyes, getting themselves into the proper commiserative mood.“Come in!” The voice was brisk and cordial. They looked up in surprise. Sophia herself had come to the door. As they followed her into the parlor- they exchanged glances, with eyebrows lifted.- Sophia was not even in mourning. The parlor shades ,were not even drawn.' “It’s nice of you to come,” Sophia said. “Do sit down.” “We came,” Mrs. Kimball said almost reprovingly, “to tell you that our hearts are bleeding for you in your great loss.” “We know how lonely you must be out here,” Mrs. Worthmgton said. “With nothing to take your mind off . . . off . . .” She sniffed and reached in her purse for a handkerchief.“Oh, I keep busy,” Sophia said. “I’ve just finished applying for the Government insurance on Tom’s life.”The visiting ladies could not resist a shocked glance at one an other."I want to get' it right away,” So phia said. “So I can put it Jnto War Bonds. My boy hasn’t finished fighting yet, not by a long shot.”The ladies were so occupied with feeling horrified, so titillated by this callous behaviour in a bereaved mother—that neither of them no ticed Sophia’s hands.

The fact of the m atter is. we naturally size a man up by what he stands for. and the way he lives, and we measure his argument largely by the effect it has on his own life. It has happened occasionally through the years that some - one takes issue with me because I be lieve there is a hell to shun and a heaven ts gain; that it is necessary to be born of the Holy Spirit and sanctified in order to live Christ- like; that one should be liberal in heart instead of selfish and stingy; that we should stand against all sin and wickedness, and stand for God and righteousness, etc. Any body that Is reasonable, and espec ially every sweet-spirited Christian, will agree to this; but it happens now and then that some fellow wants to convince me that I am a Pharisee, or that I am in line with Roman Catholicism, and so he writes B very scathing, scorching, stinging, blistering latter, quoting a lot of Scripture that T have rend and studied for years and years to convince me that I am wrong, and in the meantime reveals an ugly, evil spirit in his letter. Now that tellow would never convince me that he is right with such a bad temperment. W hat I do is to burn his letter, never answer it, and pray right on, preach right on, write right on, look right up to God as usual, keep sweet in my soul, pray for him, love everybody, and keep traveling in the footprints of Jesus heavenward So many people with a false doc trine, and arguments that. are ab solutely misleading, reveal a very bad spirit in trying to convince you that they are right and you are wrong. It stands to reason and sound judgment that if they were right they would reveal the spirit of love, patience, gentleness, kind- ^s, tenderness, and Christianlike instead of the spirit of criticism, faultfinding, anger and harshness. The Spirit of Christ is sweet, not bitter, sour, critical and repulsive. Those who are true followers of Tesus reveal the spirit of Christ- likeness. WiU Have To Walk The OPA\fias issued an edict that persons attending the Presi- dent’s ball, which is held the last of this month throughout the United States, will have to walk or use some other means of transpor tation other than automobile. This applies to the 17 states where there is an acute shortage in gas. This means that many of the suppers and dances scheduled to be held in in this section, will have to- be call ed off. ShonM Be Repudiated The President’s nomination of Ed. J. Flynn, chairman of the Na tional Democratic Committee, to become m inuter to Australia and the special representative ‘ of the W hite House in that general part of the world, is objectionable and obnoxious. Mr. Flynn’s record as a politi cian involves conduct of question able propriety. It is a record that has given him the name of "Paving Block’’ Flynn. Republicans in the Senate are massing to block confirmation of the nomination. Democratsshotild join them in Republican Refonn Hickory Record RepresentativeJoseph W. Martin Jr., ts a very clever fellow. Even his opponents—much to their chagrin—must admit that. He proved his sagacity anew, as House Republican l.ader, by pled ging that all bis party’s energies, in the new Congress starting today, would be devoted to winning the war, curtailing Federal expenses, overhauling the tax structure, Lnd prservin g ’’constitutional govern ment.’’ W ith none of these objectives, can anybody, Republican or Demo crat, disagree in principle. That shows ‘‘Little Joe” is smart. H e goes even farther, enumerate ing other aims which the Republi cans, “ given a definite job by tbe American people,” will try to rea lize. These include: Preservation of 'private enterprise from destruc tion” ; protection of “our free press” ; ousting of “special privi lege seekers from entrenched posi- tions in the government;” curbing of “ reckless granting of blanket checks” ; elimination of unnecessary boreaus and agencies; tax collec tion on a pay-as you-go basis; re lease of "every third Federal em ploye In the regular establishments for war work” ; creation of con gressional committees to deal with aviation development and postwar problems; and, giving small busi. ness "a fair deal and an opportuni ty to survive.” Democrat Seeking Changes In State Election Laws A. C, Lowdermilk. of Seagrove, Randolph county, has addressed a letter to the membors of the North Carolina General Assembly, asking for repeal of the nefarious absentee ballot law and the abolishing of all markers. His letter is as follow*: . “To the Members of Members of the 1943 General Assembly. Gentlemen: “ I would like to make two sug gestions pertaining to our election laws for the members of the General Assembly. 'First: Repeal of the absentee ballot law. Second: The abolishing o f all markers. ‘The absentee ballot law is caus ing more trouble in elections than any other thing. After every elec tion the papers are fnll of absentee, irrgularities. and our State Board of Rlections must travel throughout the state holding meetings and inves tigating these doubles. Several years ago the Legislatnre was cour ageons enough to abolish the absen tee voters’ law for the primary. In 1943 tbe Legislature should go for ward and abolish it for the general election, ’Markers were also abolished for tbe primary and they too now should be abolished for the general election Under o u r consolidated school system with all our radios and read ing material people are well inform ed and able to attend to tbe simple m atters of marketing a ticket. 1T am a farmer Democrat' to the backbone, but I hold principle high er than party, I am' for honest and fair elections. I believe in demo cracy and if the Legislatureof N. C., will abolish the absentee voters’ law will eliminate 90 per cent of all ir regularities. Very truly yours, A. C. LOWDERMILK. Seagrove, N.

Nineteen forty-three ushers in with a sight more pleasing prospect as the case for nineteen fi ty-two. Don’t Shoot, Please A W ashington committee, fear* ful of a dangerous doctor shortage, has proposed arbitrary halting of further enlistment by medical men in tbe armed services until a bureau has been cieated to “supervise and control trie drafting and recruiting ot doctors.” Apparently pending establishment of the bureau, our establishments of the bureau, our soldiers are supposed to keep out of the way of enemy bullets. The military services are entitled to every doctor they need. And they are entitled to them' without awaiting the pleasure of a bureau in Washington. As the American Medical Journal observes: "The least that tbe nation can 'do for those who offc. their lives In combat is to provide them with the utmost that medicine can offer for the allevia tion of the wounded and the pre vention of unnecessary death.” The armed forces are getting the doctors they need. They are get ting them now; the best medical men in the world. . As far as civilian needs are con. cerned, T h e American Medical Journal points out that a weekly survey by the Procurement and As signment Service maintains a con stant check on physicians in local communities This service was cre ated by the president of the United States. It works In close coOpera. tion with the medical profession which does not propose to allow any lapse in the high and hard-won health standards 0 f America.— Southern Farmer. We trust that some one will point out to the President or some kind of alphabetical board that Davie county, with a population of 15, 0 0 0 people, has only two practicing full-time phyiidans. This means that one doctor has to care for 7,- 50 0 people. The army mnst have doctors, but the farmers, the mill and factory worker, must also have doctors. If we had no farmers and mill workers we wculdn’t have an army. Somebody has to keep the home fires burning. H ereishoping that Dkvfe will soon be furnished at least one or more new doctors. The Lord has blessed us during the past year without an epidemic of any kind. Many He continue to bless and protect tts during the evil days we are passing through. Now KOI NYA and FSA The New York News:— Frank R. Kent, also pointed out that, though the President has just killed off tbe W PA because there is no longer any need for it, tbe NYA and the FSA remain alive and con tinue to squander our money.. These two outfits, the National Yonth Administration and the Farm Security Adminisl ration, have been special pets of Mrs. Roosevelt’s. They may have .once have been useful, though there are plenty who say they have never vet justified their creation. The NYA was sup posed to train young people in va rious trades, the FSA to ‘ rehabi litate” the small "submerged” farmer. The young people .are now streaming into the army and war plants, both of Which can train them more effectively than can- the NYA. .The FSA appears nof to have rebabitated any small farmers beyond the point o f convincing them that the government owes tbem a living, plus movie ticket money, poll tax money, and other remittances not connected with a- griculture. Furm prices, furtbet- more, are now so high that any of these people who can’t make a living on tbe farms would better try other trades. 7 l i e jx 1 ix fa speedily fblk^t vion. j / the NPA into obli- Little Stingers.

A local lady who revels In col lecting mementosas asked neighbor if she had any souvenirs. To which the lady replied: Yes, here is a lock of my husband’s hair I keep in the case.” But you still have you husband, don’t you?” said the lady. “ Oh, yes,” answer ed the lady, but he doesn’t still have his nair.” It seems that a blessing is not al ways a blessing. FDR blessed Mend and he'got beat. He bless ed Bennet^ and he got beat. ' He blessed Norris and he got beat. H e blessed O’Daniel’s opponent. Judge Allred, and be got beat.

Tbe man' who thinks that this country can get along better under the Democratic New Deal that it would under the Republican Square Deal, well, he is so narrow in his economic virion that a bull gnat could sit astride the bridge of his nose and sip water out of both eves at once. Of all the surprises over the re snlt of the election, perhaps that Dr. Gallup got was the bigest. His eleventh hour forecast that that the New Deal at the very least, would lose just one House seat and that they might gain 19, .was a huge flop. W bat must have been his surprise when he learned that the Republicans bad jained 4 4 seats. Dr. Gallup may now go ’way back and sit down.

Let Us Pray By Rev. Lay D. Thompson The richest benefactor in our hu man world is tbe man who prays. H e man be an obscure man be be is In touch with the Eternal if be real ly prays, and forces powerful are set in motion as a result of his con. tract with God. H e brings some thing down out' of heaven which makes life richer and more mean ful. God works h is miracles through men and women. H e does uot accomplish his tasks detached from people. H is work is carried through chosen personalities. Into tbe spirit of a man he breathes his own power. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Tn secular history the greatest benefactor is the states, man or the explorer or the philan thropist or the scientist or the phi losopher, or the inventor. But in tbe Bible the richest benefactor is the man of prayer. Men have re sorted to other meosures. They have worked and forgotten to wor ship, they have formulated pro grams- and neglected prayer, they have pursued riches at the expense of righteousness, they have follow ed the way of rigimentation and Iett off restitude. To what' desti nation have we arrived? In other words where are we now? Scien- s have been busy, inventors have labored, captains of industry have shaped our policies, and states, men have submitted their plans. But we have been more in need of the guiding hand of God than rig h t_ now. Tbe cty coming up from many bewildered hearts is: “ Lord, save or we perish.” The men who have given u s. our best ideas, who have pointed us to tbe largest and most elevating principles, who have whispered in to pur ears the most subline truth, who have carried human enter prises to their highest level of use fulness are men of vision who have touched the hem of Christ’s gar ment in prayer. The prayerless man in tbe world of error is unable to see a vision of truth, in a world of wrong can uot appreciate what is right, in a world of sin is not able to understand salvation. It is the praying man who is able to part the clouds above our heads and let some new beauty and glory stream into our human world. The prayerful man is the Cbristlike man. Prayer brings peace of mind, sere nity of spirit, courage of heart, lar geness of life, - and depth of love. The man who prayes is the world’s truest benefactor. Therefore let us pray and keep on praying. CAN THE U»D DEPHiD ON YOU AND NB "IF MY PEOPlL WHICH ARE CAliED DY MY NAME, SHAU HUMBlE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SfflC MV FACE.

BIIRSr ONCE ^GRANVILLE CHURCH THE SICiRY SO FAR: JeS Curtis m l Us wife, Lee, are already on their way to Tierra: Libre when he receives a note from Zora MItcheU warning them not to eome. When they arrive In Iierra Libre they find hath Zora and her husband dead. It ls Mitchell’s Job as chief engi neer'-for” a fruit company that JeS has been .called to filL Later JeITs friend Bill Henderson Is also killed, and JeB suspects bis^employer, Senor Montaya, of murdering him and the MitcheUs be cause they had found a clue to the strange things going on at the plantation. Other sinister figures are the company chemist, Dr. ToenJesl and the flyers, Ryden and Lannestocic. JeS and Lee discover that their housemaid is spying on them. A man named Collins arrives from the Canal Zone to see MitcheU, and JeS hires him without arousing Mon- taya’s suspicions. JeS finds his cart ridges have been-tampered with. NOW CONTINUE WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIV Before going to bed Cuft talked with Monahan about Collins.“He’ll make a good man,” Slats reported. “A little awkward at first, but he knows Diesels and I’d say he had the makings.”Evidenfly Collins had raised spec- ulatiohs in Monahan, too, for Slats’ voice was asking questions—who, what, why? But Curt didn’t know the? answers himself—and Emilio shared the same tent with him now (hat he had shared with Montaya on;his first visit to this camp. But the matter of Collins didn’t end there. As Curt called at Mon- taya’s office on his return to San Alej o—the following noon, Friday— he'found “The Dark Lily” frowning and in a bad humor. The Spaniard came to the point without his usual circumspect approach to a sub ject.’’You hired a man named Col lins, no?” he commenced bluntly. “I -'had; not forbidden this especial, Mr. Curtis, but it must not be re peated. If the occasion arises to hire a person locally, I must first inter view that person and decide for my self.” Curt stared, unbelieving, then flared. “In other words, you don’t trust my judgment? Or is it me you don’t trust?” ' Montaya’s voice became icy. "Such is not the question. If I had not trust in your judgment I would not have hired you. This, Mr. Cur tis, is an ironclad rule I will not have broken.” He paused, then add ed, “Do you know this man?” “No. But I had a man I do know try him out. Monahan tells me he’s satisfactory. I need such men badly and my hiring him doesn’t tie my hands. He’s not un der contract.” Curt’s anger showed in his face. Montaya went on to an equally irk some subject, but In a milder tone, as though to forestall an explosion. “There is another thing. Emilio tells me you were separated on the trip.” Curt glared. “He—ah, feared I would censure him if I should learn about it. He told me in order to protect him self. Mr. Curtis, I told you distinct ly that Emilio is to accompany you—” This was too much for Curt. He broke out hotly, “Senor Montaya, if I’m in danger I want to know it! And what the danger is I Standing a bodyguard over me hampers my movements—” “But I do not wish to alarm you. I repeat, you are in no danger per sonally—so long as Emilio accom panies you!” Curt was in a rage when he left Montaya—such a rage that he couldn’t go home and face Lee at >Tce. Too quick to read him, was ce. Nor did he want to go to his office in his present state. So he had a Tom Collins at the club bar, then another. With the second drink he recovered himself to the point of lighting his pipe and headed for home. . There he found that Lee and the children were at the swimming pool behind the clubhouse, had been while he’d been fuming to himself just a few yards away. The cook, about to climb into a hammock slung under the house for her mid day siesta, called the information to him. Ines was off duty in the middle of the day—from eleven to three—so the house was empty. Just as' well, Curt thought, for this gave him a chance to inspect his stock of cartridges. The. inci dent of the evening before was still sharp in his mind. He went to the escaparate in the bedroom, the tall two-door ward robe that held his things and Lee’s. From the top shelf he took down the small paper box that held the rest of this lot of bullets. ' He turned it over in his hands, read the label, spilled the contents onto the .bed. He examined the shells one . by one, but could detect nothing wrong with them. The bullets he’d shot simply hadn’t had standard charges. Then the rest could be faulty, too. While turning this over in his mind his hand was pushing the bullets ab sently into piles of six, the number held in a clip. His brows knit. He counted the piles again. Yes, six in each, and there were four piles. But here were,three bullets left over! Twen ty-seven bullets on the bedspread. He thought back. He hadn't shot the gun since about a year ago, when he’d done some target prac tice using three full dips—eighteen shells—from a fresh box. A fourth loading of six from the same box had been in his gun ever since land ing here.Each box held fifty. Eighteen and six and twenty-seven are fifty-one. There should have been but fifty. Someone had replaced his supply of cartridges—and those loaded in his gun—with ’ deverly forged, under charged shells. Ha! but they’d made a mistake in..counting ,his good bullets and had left one too many in their place! This must be the explanation of those duds he’d shot. Now, who could have done this? Who had access to the house? Ines,- of course! Her name leaped to mind, knowing as he did that she deliber ately spied on him in his family life. Lee took ,the children to the pool each day, the "girl had plenty of opportunity. Thoughtfully Curt went to a wardrobe trunk in a corner of the room, unlocked it, and took from one of the drawers a fresh box of cartridges. This he broke open, to load his clip with shells he knew to be good. He also loaded two spare clips which he slipped into his pocket. The two three-yard shovels or dered, before Curt took over, would arrive1 on Saturday—tomorrow. So Montaya had said.. Curt wanted to be on hand at Cabeza de Negro when the ship docked. This meant he would have to go down river oh the first boat at daylight, all of which gave him an excuse to spend the night at Tempujo and thus avoid the .questions he knew Xee would have for him—when she caught his Someone had replaced bis supply of cartridges. present mood. He packed his musette bag with fresh clothing, scribbled a note for Lee, and left. The afternoon he spent at his of fice cleaning up detail work, then pulled out for Tempujo. There, too, he 'pliinged into paper work for an hour, then, at seven had supper at the mess-hall. Emilio, of course, clung like a leech. “Senor Montaya will be here early on Sunday,” Curt told his shad ow. “He wants to talk with Collins. Get word to camp by the supply launch in the morning for Collins to come to Tempujo on its return. It’ll be the last chance to: get him here in time.”He got to bed early, put in a good night’s rest, and, after snatching, breakfast in the cold gray of the false dawn, made an uneventful trip down river to Cabeza. Emilioi Var gas was silent with early morning sulks. Two ships were, in port. One was Japanese—the Kdlto Maru. It had docked the day before. The other was a Norwegian steamer chartered by the company for the New Or leans run. This ship carried the two . tractor shovels, minus their booms and dippers, as a deck load. Ryden was on hand and in a short humor. He spoke in grunts or mono syllables. Curt tried a pleasantry or two and when these didn’t work fell silent.It was midmorning by the time the tarpaulins had been removed and the first shovel lowered over the side to the dock. Its own brakes released, -the big machine was hauled by the dock’s baby tractor to the side of the river steamer then loading. 5 -Curt’s purpose in.coming to Ca beza had been two-fold. First was the natural anxiety to get at ,the new machines, the child’s reaction toward promised toys. But, specifi cally, he’d intended trying to jolly Ryden into delivering them at the job upriver, instead of at Tempujo. -In any case, Ryden’s present hu mor meant a definite refusal of Curt’s plan, together with possible unpleasantness, perhaps even a quarrel, so Curt remained silent, puffing steadily at his pipe as he glumly looked on. i He stood, on one foot, the other U. SER V IC E planted firmly on a keg. Emilio straddled another keg nearby. Ry- den came up behind the two and now offered his first voluntary re mark of the day. “Am I handling satisfactory so far?” There was no mistaking the gut tural-voiced sarcasm. Curt swung around leisurely, looked at Ryden a moment, and his lips framed a nat ural, reply. But, determined not to quarrel with the man, instead of answering insolence with insolence Curt indicated a huge, square case then being hoisted by the thick-rope cargo carried to the deck of the riv er steamer. The box hovered over the open hatch, then slowly disap peared into the hold. There was a twin to the box on the dock awaiting its turn. . V . ■ Both cases were of heavy lum ber, were marked from Hamburg via Vladivostok, and the labeled in scription said they were generators. Electrical equipment was of prime interest to Curt, who was responsi ble for the electric plants at San- Alejo and Tempujo, if not for the small plant at the airfield. Pointing with his pipe stem, he asked mildly, “Those generators. Are they for me? I didn’t know of any on order.” The Swede stared through and through Curt. At length he said thickly, “Ask Senor Montaya, if you must know. I know only my own job.” Curt’s temper had been building up for a blow-off ever since his en counter with Montaya yesterday. Still, he’d nursed himself along so far and nothing was to be gained by words. With a jerk of his head at Emilio he strode angrily from the dock. Vargas, his features set in curiously, followed, trotting to keep up. “Clubby chap, what?” said Curt, with a short laugh, when he could trust his own voice. To help cover his feelings he fumbled with his pipe, knocking out the ashes, stuffing it again. Then he simmered down and added grudgingly, “Of course, he’s right in a way, but aren’t we all working toward one end here? I need a drink. How about you?” He was about to turn into the can tina he’d visited the day pf landing here, but Emilio held back. “There’s another bar down the street,” he said hurriedly. “You may like it better.” Curt, however, was in a mood. “Man, what’s the difference, this one, that one? Come along!” He pushed Emilio into the room and to the bar.Fresh from the glaring sun, his eyes didn’t take in the scene imme diately. He was half blind as he mounted a stool, ordered a drink, and indicated - with a wave of the hand that Emilio should order for himself.Then his pupils expanded. In the mirror behind the bar he saw the Tierra Libre customs official and his lieutenant. They were drinking and playing poker dice with a man whose face was vaguely familiar. Curt had noticed on the dock that morning that there had been no customs official to inspect freight as it was unloaded. He’d given this no special thought at the time. To .cover his thoughts, but still frowning, Curt pulled a notebook from his pocket, scribbled a few words, ripped out the page. He pushed the paper toward Emilio. “I need a hundred men at Tem pujo by -one o’clock,” he growled. “Also, the launch will have to make another trip to the levee camp to bring down Mondhan. Get this mes sage off for me, will you?” AU the whfle, however, he was racking his brain over the third man with the customs officers. He was a Nordic, certainly. At last it came' to him. The man was one of the mechanics who’d been working at the C. A. T. airfield the day of his visit there. As they returned to the dock Emi lio had the radio message sent off, and by eleven they were on their way back to Tempujo with the one machine this steamer could carry. Reaching the river-port by one- thirty, he found Collins and the rap idly gathering gang of men. Mona han arrived by two o’clock, and the rest of the day was spent in getting the two machines assembled, serv iced, and on their way to, pick up their sectors of levee work. This job went smoothly, however, and it was just as well,- Curt was thinking, that he hadn’t made an is sue of his plan to unload on the riv er bank at the job. If things went as weU tomorrow, the two shovels would be at work Monday morning; But it had been a strenuous, tiring job. After an early supper at the Tempujo mess-hall—with CoUins and Monahan occupying a table not far from Curt and Emilio—Curt re turned to his bungalow. He switched on the lights, flung his hat to the table by the door. Emilio settled himself on the porch, with magazines and his ever-ready pack of native cigarUlos. Curt had his trip across the river in mind. This was Saturday, the. night he’d arranged to meet McInnis at River- bend. He had to get rid Arf Vargas somehow. “I’m going to bed,” he told tho man. “Need a good night’s rest. You’d better get one, too. When yog leave, see that the night latch is on. Good night.” “Buenas nocbes, Senor.” . n o BE CONTtNVEDI It’s So Easy to Make His Suit Into a Smart One for Yourself By CHERIE NICHOLAS I 'T 'H E urge to sew, mend and “make over” is taking posses sion of patriotic nomen every n here. Nqt only does the idea of reviving the art of home sewing carry appeal to those who perforce must practice economy for economy’s sake, but it is devel oping into a real hobby among wom en who are going “aU out” in their eagerness to serve their beloved America in the victory program set before them. Now that this wartime winter is ushering in an era of home sewing that is due to last the duration through, fabric and pattern depart ments are being besieged by women whose new-born enthusiasm for sewing is leading them to attempt anything from a simple blouse to a dress and some are even going so far as to try their hand at a suit or a garment as pretentious as a smart, softly tailored spring coat. Apropos of the new home sewing trend, here’s a question to ponder— how could your husband’s old suit be made to suit you? A few months ago you might have raised your hands In utter protest or just laughed the idea off. However, to day, with government conservation In full swing, you’ll think twice and decide that nothing could please you more. It’s easy enough to whittle down an old suit to your size, and think of the wonderful men’s, fabric you will be acquiring for your Suit—where is she who has never coveted the per fectly grand wool materials used for the suits worn by the male mem bers of the household! Once you’ve attempted a “cut down,” the man’s closet in your room will no longer be his to have and to hold for his very own. However, we recommend that you start with a worn, out grown number for your first experi ment. Of course you don’t do a thing until you’ve ripped apart the suit, reversed . the fabric and sponged and pressed it. You’ll get your skirt out of the trousers, to be sure. Invert them and use die ankle part for the waistline. Then cut up as far as the crotch and you will have a graceful flare for each side seam, also a center space both back and front to be later inset with pleats formed of excess material cut off the trousers, as you shortened them to your measurement. It’s no trick at all to manipulate the jacket, for there’s ample ma terial in a man’s coat to cut down to the type you like best. The il lustration gives you the picture of a suit before (oval .inset) and after making over. The suit as the lady wears it in the picture is one of those conservative types made after a simplicity pattern that will remain fashion-correct for seasons to come. If you do not cut into the vest (it really is not necessary to do-so) you can convert it into a smart gilet to wear with your jacket sweater which will give you a most pleas ing change, ’ especially if your sweater is color-bright. Get a pat tern of one of. the new, chic gUets and try it. When little daughter of the household sees mother’s suit so trim and so modish, she will be wanting a suit, too. And why not? Brother’s outgrown suit calls to action! In making a stylish outfit for wee sis ter, use the trousers for a little skirt with “kick pleat” back and front or shallow pleat it all around. At any rate, make it the suspender type with bolero jacket or Eton. Embroider the suspenders in gay wool yarn. Make a little handbag and beret of self fabric scraps left over and embroider with yarn to match. Released by Western Newspaper Union* Contrast Front Coimtless are the ingenious ways In which designers are featuring striking color contrast. One of the most successful methods stressed this season is the use of contrasting color for the bodice front only. Three outstanding fashion touches are giv en to the frock pictured above. The body is of dull black crepe, the ice-blue front is of lustrous satin (very new this season), and the front closing is finished with a large sequin-encrusted button matched to the ice-blue of the jbatin. It adds to the charm when ffie hat repeats the color of the contrast front. This may be done m ,a discreet ; color touch, or the newest ihing\is to wear a beguiling'little feather hat in matching Cotton Lace Returns to Daytime Fashion Scene Good news! Comes the report from style centers that daytime frocks of pretty cotton laces are scheduled for a return engagement this spring. These are being made up in string color, in white and in all the dainty pastels. For the most part they are of the short waisted and coat dress types. Perhaps the biggest news in regard to the new cotton laces is that you can get a lovely sheer type in black' that makes up beautifully for dressy wear. It has a ChantOly appear ance that is really good looking. Straw Hats Witt SparJde W ith Touches of Sequin . When you go to your milliner to preview the advance spring hats do not be taken by surprise, to see many charming straws starred with se quins, not in a crude, conspicuous way but just enough to give them a firefly glow - that |S very lovely.

You are right, Frank, there has never been greater mistakes made by any party or set of politicians since the world began, than have been made by the New Dealers in the past ten years. The Charlotte Observer doesn' seem to have much faith in tbe fighting powers of the United Na tions, from the tone of a recent editorial.

' This country has just begun fight* ing From now on watch the en. emy take to the tall timbers. Groundhog Committee For many years The Record has been appointing a number of well known citizens of the ShefiSeld com mnnity to act as a committee to welcome the groundhog on Febru ary 2nd. In view of the drastic gas and oil shortage, together with a scarcity of wood-choppers, we suggest that the committee assem ble before daylight and give the groundhog a warm welcome. If the weather is extra cold, it will be well to have a big, warm fire burn ing by tbe time old Sol shows his face above the eastern horizon. The committee is requested to treat the groundhog with the honor due him, explain tbe scarcity of fuel, and use every honorable means to in< duce said hog to spend the next six weeks above, instead of below the earth’s surface.

Camden, Ark, Another officer was' today added to the roster of the 71st AAFPTD in the person of Samuel W. Howell, who is assuming the rank and duties of a W arrant Officer. U r. Howell's attaining tbis position is of particu lar interest because he is the first enlisted man regularly assigned to Harrell Field to have attained an of ficer’s status. He did this by pass ing the Warrant Officer’s examina tion at Greenville, Uiss., on Decem ber 4.1942. This promotion is the seqond time Mr. Howell has been congratulated at Harrell Field for being the first in something for which he may well be proud. It will be recalled that last July Mr. Howell, who has been assigned to tbe 71st AAFFTD since the day the post was originally acti vated, became tbe father of a baby girl who was the first child 'to be born in Camden to any member of the Harrell Field military organiza tion.! Mr. Howell comes from Cana. He began his military services on Jan, 13.1937. ______________ An Honest Man A former Mocksville citizen who now lives in an adjoining county, paid a debt that he had been owing for more than 60 years to some Davie people.

You see, when America declared war, the men and women of the Southern knew that they would be up against the biggest, most important job they had ever tackled. They know now that millions of fighting men are counting on them to keep enormous quantities of w ar goods rolling. They know now that Uncle Sam is depending on them to move troops by the millions...swiftly, safely, at a moment’s notice. They know now that gas-and-tire-rationed civil ians are looking to them to handle essential civilian travel and the transportation of civilian necessities. It’s a big, tough job...chock-full of headaches and heartaches. But the Southern’s men and women are g ettin g i t done! That’s why full-packed trains are rumbling by. Bill’s post at the crossing in an endless procession .. . carrying freight and passengers in a volume that amazes even railroaders. W hat’s more, the trains tnat are heavy w ith w ar traffic today will keep on rolling after Victory is won. For then the Southern Railway will be serving a n ew and a greater South... a busy, prosperous Southland.

And if plans now on the griddle cook to the right turn there will be thou sands more. And the old-fash ioned house that a man bought to raise and marry his children in, and shelter himself in . his slippered retirement will have tough competition. Blandford, only 45, is the' gradu ate of Stevens Institute of Technol ogy, called by President Roosevelt a man of “amazing executive abili ty.” A thick, solid amazer with perky ears he smiles his way along as a man should under such praise.

Biding High A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BYTHE LEADING WAR CORRESPONDENTS America’s Naval Hospitals By Mrs. FrankUn D. Roosevelt Personally we are-of the opinion that Sergeant Bayciva belongs in the air force. H he can make a motor cycle fly just think what he could do with an . air^anei n ie sergeant is an instructor in the motorcycle school at Camp Lee, Va. (W NU Feature—Through special arrangement with Collier's W eekly) San Diego hospital has grown from 900 to 5,000. This might imply confusion—as new buildings have gone up everywhere—but the small units are as neat and well cared for as the large ones. I went into the small TB building in which there were some boys from the southern islands of the Pacific. They might well be there for weeks, but at least the disease has been discovered and with proper care they have a chance for recovery. Some of the old Fair buildings have been converted into barracks where the: men who are convalesc ing are sent to spend their last few weeks of convalescence. Here they have more freedom. They may wan der in the gardens and there is a Red Cross room with trained work ers who visit the wards as well as talk to the boys ifi the office. Many a difficulty is ironed out when it is talked over with these capable young women. The nurses have pleasant quar ters, though arranged to simulate, as far as possible, the space which they will have to fit into at sea, in die hope of breaking them in gen tly in case they are needed. I remember having attended a large luncheon in the gallery of this very building, and I could not help thinking that today all of this beauty is serving a far. better purpose than it did even during the peaceful days of the Exposition. An Awkward Moment. Not all the boys in the hospitals are casualties from actual fighting zones. Some of them are brought in from shore stations or from ships at sea, and very often their ail ments are characteristic of a civil ian population. Jaundice may be found, and there were four wards of appendicitis cases in one hospital. In fact, I was allowed to look into the operating room, where, under local anesthetic, two boys were hav ing their appendixes removed. I would never have tried to at tract their attention, but the doctor in charge said that they would be disappointed if they did not see me, so he suggested to both of them that they turn their eyes and look at me. I responded in a rather em barrassed and nervous manner, I fear, but then, I could see what was happening to those appendixes! Some of the .patients play chess; most of them play games of some kind. Many of them read, and the Red Cross has a canteen and a traveling library in nearly, every large hospital. Few of the boys I talked with were near their own homes. One boy made the whole ward laugh as he told me, “I’m go ing to have a baby in December and I sure hope to get home for it.” South Carolina is a long way from California. You got the feeling that most of Texas had gone into the navy as boy after boy, asked about his home, named some little Texas town. Young America is extraordinarily heartening. They may come from farms or factories or colleges, but there 'is a spirit in all of them which binds them together. That spirit which -somehow knows that victory is theirs. I visited only one army hospital— Lettermen’s in the Presidio. It is a lovely location and beautifully kept, but it hasn’t been obliged to expand in the same Wayl that the navy hos pitals have. So1I speak primarily ■about the naval hospitals. Wishes Sweethearts Could See Them. The mothers, wives and sweet hearts of the men in the armed forces of this country want to know how their menfolk are housed and fed and cared for when they them selves cannot be with them. I kept wishing a hundred times a day, as I went down between the long aisles of beds, that the boys could look up and instead of finding a ..stranger’s eyes upon them, could see the wom en they loved. One can only hope that in having a great desire to pass on to these pa tients a sense of security and af fection and admiration, one does suc ceed; and perhaps through their own imagination, they see the' women they love in any woman who comes to them with a real interest and af fection in her eyes. The organization of all of these hospitals, the choice of men to head them up, is a gigantic business ven ture. When you think that they are dotted all over the East coast and the West coast, over the islands of the Pakific and the Caribbean, you look with pride at the surgeon gen eral of the navy, and feel a great sense of'.satisfaction in the medical profession' of the whole country, which has responded so magnificent ly to the call to enter the armed services, and which has made this necessary expansion not only possi ble but a fact.

UNTIL the academy aw ards come through everybody can find food for argum ent in those voted by the New York film critics. Noel Coward’s British navy film, “In Which We Serve,” - which opened in New York at the end of 1942, was chos en the best picture of the year after stubborn balloting; some of the critics wanted the award for the very stirring “Wake Island.” -Tames Cagney was chosen best actor for his work in “Yankee Doodle Dan dy” ; Agnes Moorhead the best ac tress for her performance in “The Magnificent Ambersons.” Greer Garson and Katharine Hepburn were contenders for that crown for a while, but Miss Moorhead won out. Jane Randolph is on her way up; she has the feminine lead opposite Tom Conway in “The Falcon Strikes Back,” the next of the RKO mys tery series based on that detective’s JANE RANDOLPH exploits, and it’s her fourth film since she was discovered last summer In a routine screen test that led to her being given a leading role in “Highways by Night.” She’ll be a star before you know it. Rita Hayworth’s engagement to Wctor Mature seems to be one of those if-and-when things; they’ll be married when they are freed by di vorce from their present matrimo nial commitments, and when the war is over. Incidentally, Greer Garson’s en gagement to Richard Ney seems to be a thing of the past. It didn’t seem like the kind of troth that Hol lywood executives approve for their biggest stars—he wasn’t important enough in the picture business, On the other hand,she seems to be the kind of person who' does as she likes—and with “Mrs. Miniver” to her credit she could do it Flying Officer Robert Coote, who used to be a Hollywood leading man himself, was released from RCAF recruiting duties to play a Com mando leader in “Commandos Strike a t Dawn”—but he kept right on re cruiting. The company worked on location near Victoria, B. C., and in his first week with the picture he signed up four Victoria youths for RCAF careers! Dorothy Lamour, Veronica Lake and Paulette Goddard just scram bled a few old clothes together when they appeared in Paramounfs “Star Spangled Rhythm," the big musi cal which has 70 stars. For their number, “A Sweater, a Sarong and a Peek-a-boo Bang” Paulette wore a sweater and shorts from “Nothing but the Truth,” Veronica the low- cut gown that made audiences gasp when they saw “I Wanted Wings,” and Dorothy just got into one of her regular sarongs. For other scenes, as they were supposed to be working In the studio in their own pictures, they wore clothes from “li e Road to Morocco,” “The Lady Has Plans” and “This Gun for Hire.” You might keep an eye on Ann Savage, if yon want to see a star in the making. She made her stage de but in a little theater a few months ago, and Colombia signed her to a contract and gave her a few minor roles to get her used to cam era angles. Now Hiey think that she’s a potential star, and she’s been given Hie role opposite Chester Morris In “After MUnight WiHi Boston BlaeUe.” Frances Dee, leading lady of RKO’s “I Walked With a Zombie,” .has founded a dramatic club to pro- Vide community entertainment at Moorpark, Calif., during gas ration ing.

D.Ot The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) S Lesson for January 31 Lesson subjecte and Scripture texts selected and cimyrlghted by International CouncQ of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS THE BREAD OF LIFE LESSOlt TEXT—Iohn 6:8-14. 30-35. GOLDEN TEXT—Jesus said unto them, I am the bread ot Ilte--John 6:35. Spiritual truth becomes under standable to us as it is put in the language of - our daily life. Jesus was the Master Teacher of all times, and made use Of graphic figures to present the message of salvation. He spoke of the wind, of water, and in this lesson of bread. Even a child knows about such things and understands the good news. Bread is still the staff of life. It speaks of life and health, of satisfaction and strength. Beginning with the five small bar ley cakes (and two fishes) which a provident little boy had taken with him into the wilderness, Jesus preaches by miracle and by pre cept of eternal things. One is glad that a bright lad was more thought ful than all the adults that day, for he provided the occasion for the mir acle and the message. I. Daily Bread (w . 8-13). The great multitude had followed Jesus to the other side of Galilee where He' had gone to rest. They sought Him out and He had compas sion on them—these sheep without a shepherd (Matt. 9:36). That inter est was first spiritual, for “he be gan to teach them many things,” but it was also practical in the realm of daily life, for He saw that they were physically hungry. His appeal to Philip revealed the lack of faith which at times afflicted the disciples. They knew they had the Son of God in their midst, and yet they were bound by the matter of dollars and cents, of portions and —well, they just wished Jesus would send these people away. That would solve the problem. Oh, yes, “there is a lad here,” but what he has amounts to nothing. All this was perfectly natural They talked just like most of us do when we are up against a similar problem. But the point is that they (and we too!) ought to realize that “little is much when God is in it.” If we let Christ have all that we have and are, it will be adequate for every need. ___—---------- Are you worrying about your lack of money; your inability to do things for Him? Are you limiting God when He would like to take what you have and multiply it by His bless ing? Notice that though there was plen ty, there was none to waste. Dlhat was over was gathered up. God never encourages waste. Perhaps we in America may learn that les son the hard way in these days— but having learned it let us not for get it. n . Heavenly Bread (w . 14,30, 31). The people (probably incited hy the religious leaders) after their first surprise at the miracle, sought Him out in the temple and demand ed a greater miracle. Jesus never put much dependence on those whose faith rested on miracles, and we do well to be careful of those who must have something spectacular going on all the time if they are to be interested. They contrasted His miracle of one meal with the repeated mira cle of the daifr manna—the bread from heaven—under Moses. Jesus makes it clear that He is not in competition with MoseS, for Hie manna came not from Moses but from God. Those who seek signs and wonders had better get their eyes off such things and get them on God who is the Giver of every good and'perfect gift. Their plea for heavenly bread gave Jesus the opportunity to tell them about the true bread from heaven. III. The Bread of Life (w . 32-35). Feeding the body is important, but the real need of men is for spiritual food. Daily bread is a food that perisheth (see v. 27), but the “meat that endureth unto eternal life” , is received by faith in Christ (v. 29). Instead of a sign, or the passing blessing of daily sustenance, Jesus presents Himself as the bread of life which will eternally satisfy the deepest hunger and thirst of Hie human soul. Those who teach that Christ is but our example, giving Himself as the spiritual bread to those who by development of character are seek ing to be like Him, should read verses 47 to 51 of this same chap^ ter. Here He makes clear that by the giving of His flesh in the death ot the cross everlasting life comes to the believer. It is only the man who eats ot this bread, who. by faith .makes him-' self partaker of the death of our Lord, that can have eternal life. This must be done In the right way—the way of faith. The people said; “Lord, evermore give us this bread” (v. 34). One wonders wheth er some of them did not say it scoff- ingly, and others perhaps still with the thought of daifr bread tor their bodies. Among them, however, were surety some earnest souls who that day saw the tight of eternity through His wonderful; words about. LOvbread of life.

C.. JANUARY 27. 1943 R b ie h id Rosebud is eight, and the most beautiful shade of caramel fudge. To her loving Mammy and Pappr she is known, on approximately al ternate days, as "Angel” and “You devil child”. It was on her devil- child days that Rosebud tied the knots in the shirts that Mammy had taken In for washing, and poured the whole of the vanilla bottle into the lamb stew, just, she said later through bitter tears, to “flavor it up some .On her angel days Rosebud is equally imaginative even if a m ori restful occupant of the little shacK down on Vinegar Hill. Once when Mammy was out doing day work, Rosebud got a wave of cleaning fever and scoured every pot and pan in the kitchen so that they literally glistened. Another day, left alone, she tidied up Mammy’s and Pappy’s room to such a point of apple-pie order that it was a week before Pappy could find an undershirt. Bosebud is a great reader of the newspapers. Mammy and Pappy don’t take one, but there are plenty of perfectly good newspapers blow ing round Vinegar Hill. It was out of one of them that Rosebud got her idea for spending the ten cents the Bunny had put under her pillow the night her tooth came out. After breakfast Rosebud disappeared down the Hill and reappeared soon after with a beautiful ten-cent War Stamp pasted firmly into a brand-new book with neat little squares for mor* stamps. She displayed her invest* ment to Mammy. “I declare you’re an angel child, Mammy said. Rosebud went on sitting on the kitchen floor staring with large brown eyes at the empty squares in her book. From time to time she took hold of one or another of her teeth and wiggled it, gently.Sliunmv was engrossed in a par ticularly big washing. Bosebud was as quiet as a mouse and Mammy forgot about her until, coming in from the yard with her arms full of dry sheets, she encountered her child with a large hammer in her hand. Scenting the devil in her angel child, Mammy shouted at her, “Bosebud! Come yere with that hammer! What you plaiuiing on doing?”But what was done was done. In Rosebud’s other hand was another tooth. Her mouth was stretched in a broad if slightly bloody smile, ain’t doing nothing, Mammy,” she said. “I’m just filling up my stamp book.” (Story from an actual report in the files of the Treasury Departm ent)• • • Say yes.
