The Jodgments Of God Rev. W alter E. Isenhour. H iddenite. N. C. The judgments of God come up on men and nations because of wickedness. Hence the reason of the awful World W ar we are now in. When men 'and nations turn away from God, violate His holy and. sacred laws, disregard H is com mandments, refuse H is council and leadership, and 'reject the Lord Jes us Christ, refuse to repent and straighten out their sinful lives, there i9 nothing else for God to do but tranish men, or allow it to be done. There is always a penalty to be paid waen natural and sacred laws are violated, and when Godis rejected and H is holy Word criti cised, scorned and hated. No doubt individuals suffer the judgments of God all along through life because they sin and live wick edly. We have no doubt that men oftentimes suffer certain judgments from God because tney commit cer tain wilful acts that are highly dis pleasing to God. For instance a man wilfully mistreats someone, or lies in order to cheat and defraud him, or takes advantage of him when he is in a bard place in order to get his property, he will sooner or later reap it all back. Misfor tunes overtake him and be is made to realize that it is because cf the evil be did to someone else. Suppose a man deals in liquor in order to mrke money, which is the case all over the land. Later on, qecause he has made men drunk, broken up bomes, and caused lives to be lost and souls destroyed in a devil’s hell, he suffers and suffers for it, then be knows tbe judg ments of God are coming upon him. Maybe bis own family commits crime and have to suffer the pen alty at the hands of the law, or get killed through drunkenness, or go to the electric , chair or the gas chhmber, therefore he reaps the awful harvest for the evil seed he has sown. 'H e realizes that God’s udgments are being poured upon him, even in this life, with eternal damnation awaiting him unless he deeply and thoroughly repents and obtains forgiveness from God. Mapbe someone has made light, or made fun of a cripple, or defor med person, or has scorned him, later on in years to find one of his children born in tbe very same con dition. This happens. It is dan gerous. God’s judgments come upon men. Life's better way is that of obedience to God. A Good Idea Raleigh—Senator Lee Weathers, of Cleveland, presents for his maid en bill Thursday suspension of pen alties for failure to get automobile licenses during tbe month of Jan uary. Senator Weathers’ measure will have tbe effect of stopping all ar rests for driving without such li. censes and will furnish a grace per. iod through January I of each year and that full use of such authority cannot be attacked. Then be ar- gues tbat physically it is impossible to comply with tbe law because tbe state makes no provision for ser ving the populace. If 5 0 ,0 0 0 plates could be supplied daily it would take about 15 days to ser vice the state. Meanwhile it re quires thousands of persons to drive long distances "w ith their precious cions gasoline’' and then miss their licenses. Fear of arrest would cause many more to remain ai home and miss marketing th&r goods m m 0 » VAiWAR SONO$ Little Stingers. From The Yellow Jacket Every since its birth tbe New Deal administration has been beset with depressions, repressions, in flations, and emergencies. Perhaps the reason the child doesn’t im prove is because it has never had but one doctor. Since tbe gay girls have started carrying their enlarged vanity cases to bold their leg-painting outfits, we understand the police are puz zled to know whether the girls car ry bootleg or just leg paints. Bureaucracy has got to yield to Constitutional government or this country is going straight to the Devil. Tens of thousands of Pa- J triotic Americans have longed fora national awakening and the elec tion returns indicated that such a turn is in sight. For 2 0 years New York has been in the Democratic bag. But when Tom Dewey came down tbe line this year, the New Deal “ hag” burst and the roof fell in. A Re publican majority of three quarters of a million is enough to bust and carve in anything. Dr. Gallup blamed the outcome of the election on the apathy of the voters. Yet it was the Democrats, he says, who were the most apothe- tic. Of courss evsrybody knows tbat they were nearly as dissatis fied with the New Deal as were the Republicans. H arry Hopkins' “spend a n d spend, tax and tax, and elect and elect” slogan turned out like tbe Kentuckyan’s choke bored tbat the dam thing kicked backward harder than it shot forward. We notice in an exchange that a prominent South Carolina Demo crat says tbat "those fellows up at W ashington” are a greater pest to the farmers than the bo'l weevil. A t least, be says, tbat we can poi son the weevils, but he don’t now what we can do about those fel lows at W ashington. Bide a wee, Brother. Two more years, and we are going to clean out that buncb of “boll weevils at W ashington so thoroughly tbat you won’t be able to find a trace of them with a search warrant. How about this? U. S. Steel Corporation has been ordered by the war labor board to pay back wages to 1 15,000 workers, totaling approximately $7,0 00,0 0 0. If in dustry must pay back wages, why not Uncle Sam? Our soldiers have been receiving $ 5 0 a month for only a short time, although they have been on the jobs rate back pay, why in the heck should not a soldi, ers’s job get some of tbe gravy. Sheffield News. The Sheffield Grange met Satur day night, Jan. 23 rd, with Master Elmer Beajcbamp presiding. The joint debate between Misses Helen Ricbardson and Lucille Gaither, af firmative, and Mrs. Sam Holland and Mrs. Elmer Beauchamp, nega tive, was enjoyed by everyone. The subject was. Resolved, “ Tbe mod era girl is as well equipped for home-making as tbe girls of grand mother’s day.” Mr. Will Reeves, of Asheville, visited in this section last week. Mr. JoLn Ijames remains very sick. Kan Cleary and family have mo ved from Harmony to the James Cleary farm. Sheffield Rainy Day Lodge has appointed the following committee to meet and confer with the ground bog on Feb. 2nd, and thank him for bis kindness so far the past year, and transact acy other business that may arise: W. L. Reeves, Snow Beck, Misses Lucille Gaither, Helen Richardson and Noah Ijames W . L. Gaither made a business trip to M oduvllle Monday. Goodbye To Pleasure Automobile driving isn’t tbe on ly pleasure that will be forbidden. The soft, sweet things will dis appear one by one People are go. ing to live hard from now on•• and pretend they like it, so hard that sugar rationing and gasoline cuts will seem like a joke. Make up your mind to it or some- body will make it up for you. That somebody is our dear uncle, called Sam, the old fellow with tbe beard, plug hat and frock coat. H e has said you must quit pleas, uring yourself! Pleasures of eating and driuking are on the way out with tbe pleas ure of riding on rubber. If the war lasts as long as the leaders think, you will lose the pleasure of keeping warm, of trav eling anywhere, and of seeing be' yond a few miles from home. We are preparing to lose the pleasure of leather soles, plenty of soap and towels, bed sheets, socks, hunting trips, poker parties, soft drinks and hard; also hamburgers and hot dogs, may be salt and soup. Electrical appliances have almost vanished, so tbe pleasure of push ing a button and letting Edison do the rest is departing. Pleasure will be an oosolete word long before the war ends; luxury will have no definition because there will be no luxury. From now on people will get their pleasures from the inside out, home-made, with out frills and rough at the edge.— Charlotte Observer Cheer up, brother. Look on tbe bright side. From present indica tions this war is going to be over before the cold winds of December blow through our silver locks. President’s Obligation There must be nights, out there in tbe stifling jdngles of New Gui nea, or the baking deserts o f North Africa, or wherever they may be— Iceland, India, Ireland, England, Alaska, Cbina, Australia—that A merican men, just before they fall asleep, wonder what they’re fight ing for and what they’ll go home to —if they live. And if they’re old eneugb to remember; they’ll shudder at the thought that many of those who risked their lives in tbe last war to make the world safe for democracy, Mound up by sell ing apples or pencils, or going on tbe local relief rolls. Tbe Roosevelt Administration, whose foreign policy has been bas ed on the assumption that this was our war almost from the very day tbe Nazis marched into Poland, has an obligation to the 10,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 or more men who will have been call ed to the colors—an obligation to prepare a homecoming that will have more lasting value than a pa rade along New York’s Fifth Ave nue. And a President who saw this war as ours long befoie we were involved will not have done bis duty to those who most figbt that war simply by saying, “ The country knows where I stand.” Mr. Roosevelt owes it to them to figbt as hard for the domestic pro gram he espouses as he did for the foreign program he achived.—The Progressive. Guernsey Is Sold To Koontz Peterborough, N. H .—Ernest T. Koontz of Mocksville, R. 4 , recent ly purchased a registered Guernsey cow from W. A. Byerly1 of Mocks- ville, R. 4, to add to his local herd. Sampson’s Molly Lou 745735 is the name under which this animal is registered w ith The American Guernsey Cattle Club. READ THE AD* AlpngWiihllieMm Attention Registrants “ A fine of $10,000 or five years in prison, or both, is the penalty feeing a person convicted or delinquency under Selective Service Act.” Gener- al J. Van B. Metts, State Director of Selective announced today. "Far too many men are escaping their obligations nnder the act be cause they are delinquent” , the State Director said. He further, stated that a vigorous effort will be made during the month of January to have delinquents a n d suspected delin quents report to their local boards to have tbe charges of delinquency re moved “Those who do report volun tarily to tbeir local board during the month of January, 1943, will be al lowed to comply with their obliga tions. but those who fail or refuse to to do so will find that their names have been reported to tbe Depart ment of Justice for prosecution,” tbe Director said. To Further Clarify The Require ments, General Metts Emphasized These Points: I Every person who was requir- e i to register under any one six Presidential Proclamations which have heretofore been issued, ex cept those registrants in tbe 4&65 year old group, must have in bis per sonal possession at all times a valid Notice of Classificatinn in addition to iiis Registration Certificate 2. Upon request, every person re quired to carry a Notice of Classifi cation must submit bis notice to any law enforcing officer, representatives of the Secretary of State, the Se cretary of the Treasury, the Attor ney General, or any official of the National or State Headquartera of Service, any member of a local or appeal board, any Government Ap peal Agent, or any other official de signated by the Director of Selective Service. 3. Every registrant between tbe ages of 18 and 45 should keep his lo cal board notified of any change, of address so tbat he may be sure that he receives his mail at all timeg with reasonable promptness. The local board will have discharges its duty and fully complied with tbe regula tions if it mailt! official notices to tbe registrant at bis last known address, and the registrant is presumed by law to receive such notices. There* fore, it becomes most important for the registrant to see that hia local board has on file his correct addreBB at all times4. Every person who is required to carry a Notice of Classification and who does not now have one should report immediately to hia lo cal board and obtain tbe. required form. Ifa Notice of Classification heretofore issued has been lost, the registrant in question should apply to his local board for a duplicate. 5. Every person who was requir ed to register under either one of the Predential Proclamations and who has done so sheuld immediately report to this local co8l,board and of fer to register. Persons who are otherwise delinquent are urged fc> do the same tbi g. Itw iil be fairly easy to have charges of delinquency removed during tbe month of Janu ary but those who remain delinquent after February 1.1943, will run the risk of prosection as a delinquent. 6. Anv person who knows that is delinquent, or who has reason to an spect that he is, should report tbat fact to the local board having juris diction over th 6 suspected delin quent’s residence. Says Social Legislation Is Not Enough Christian Century. Australian politics have produced a number of independent or non. party leaders. An oustanding new member of this group is D. P. Macdonald, tormerly minister of a Presbyterian church in Sydney and now in the New South Wales par. liament. He is accustomed to us ing plain speech, as the following comment made by bim to tbe New castle Religion and Life Conference attests: Confused thinking leads some people to regard social legis. Iation as containing the very soul and spirit of Christianity. The re venue of a state is a trust fund, not to be used to provide bonuses for an unthrifty minority. Of course it is sound New Testament teach ing tbat the strong shoutd be cured of their infirmities. Benefi cent legislation hasn’t finished its job when it prescribes pensions.

Some Hot Shot The records reveals that it takes an average of $5 0 ,0 0 0 to kill one man in this war. T hat's why you are asked to buy more bonds. "Fighters are of two kinds: tbe educated one who gets $ 5 0 a month and the illiterate who gets/5 ,0 0 0 a night.” —Robert Quillen. Would John L. Lewis please ex plain why it is necessary to raise the dues In his miners union, when bis treasury already has millions salted away?

Diary Of An Editor (Rocky Mount Telegram) Through doubling up in duties, city editors are fast realizing just what a job their country couBins have had all along. Aninsideglimpse at the way one country editor Carl Broome, editor of the Brantlev, Ga.. Enterprise, spends bis time is fur nished In his notes on an occupation al questionnaire. Here’s the way Editor Broomeite- mized his duties: I write newa. editorials, advertise ment8, keep books, pay bills, read proof, clean type, set headings, set newa, feed the press, cut paper, wrap bundles, solist advertisements, solist subacriptione, pay bills, repair presses and linotype (jackleg repair ing.) splice newspaper, order sup plies, tell people where the I oca- draft board is. tell others where tbe town’s lawyer might be, tell atill othera tbat silly rumor they were ex cited about was only a silly rumor, pay billa, wash forms, distribute type, solicit job printing pacify Irate subscribers whose paper failed to arrived, pay billa, edit bungled copy, collect bills, pay bills, sort mail, scan the exchanges and maybe clip an item. Then in my spare time I hunt and fish and plav checkers. The Telegram finds itself heartily in agreement with the editor of the Wilmington Star-Newa who raises the question concesning “how Mr. Broome manages to pay bills so often.” H itting the high spots iu life m ay be all right, provided the low ones don’t get yon on th e rebound.

A man who will steal from an editor is not worth the powder and sbot'U itfould take to sboot him in these days of shortage in fighting material. The county commissioners are tbe ones who have to grant license to any person selling wine or beer. If this is not correct, we have been misinformed. A lady wbo has two sons in the army came into onr office a few days ago and remarked that wine and beer should not be sold on tbe. days boys were leaving for camp Mo one knows when the war is going to end, but many learnedmen have expressed the opinion that it will be over before a New Year rolls around Let’s all hope that tbey know whereof they speak. Just how the American farmers are going to produce a third more this year than last, with most of the farm boys being drafted into the armv iS something we can’t fi gure out. Crops can t be planted and cultivated without plenty of manual labor. From the number of automobiles y parked on our streets the past week no one would he led to believe there was any shortage of either tires or gas. If one reads the rural cor. respondents news in the weekly papers it would seem that many folks are still visiting on Snndays. Perhaps they ate traveling in wa gons and buggies as they did in the good old days. It seems that Ohio, Michigan and Georgia are going io turn their clocks back one hour and go by the good old-fashioned time that was used since Joshua commanded the sun to stand still—If this daylight saving time has been ot any benefit to the country we haven’t found it out. We have to burn lights one hour earlier in the mornings and we don’t go to bed any earlier in the evenings. In-the death- ot Tbos. W.

Mr Rich came to ibis county nearly 20 years ago, and bad endeared himself to all our people He was a quiet, unassuming gentleman, and contributed of bis means to every worthy cause. He loved his fellowmen, and took prfde in the growth and develooment of the lit tie town where he spent so many years of his early and later life. Several years ago be purchased a tract of land in North Mocksville and spent much money in provid ing a beautiful park for the citi zens, not only of Mocksville but ' the surrounding country He help, pd the needy and was generous in his donations to the various church es and other worthy causes The town is much better by his having living here for the past years. We shall miss Mr. Rich. He was our friend. While he will be seen no more in our print shop, we shall al ways cherish the memory of the many visits he made our office.

The county commissioners are the ones who have to grant license to any person selling wine or beer. If this is not correct, we have been misinformed. A lady who has two sons in the army came into our office a few days ago and remarked that wine and beer should not be sold on the days boys were leaving for camp No one knows when the war is going to end, hut many learned men bave expressed the opinion that it will be over before a New Year rolls around Let’s all hope that they know whereof they speak.

They believed it before Pearl Harbor, and what has happened since has con vinced them. This conviction, a na tional faith in morale as distin guished from blind confidence, is their “secret weapon,” and every Jap, from the youngest school child to the oldest peasant, is armed with it. He is undergoing, with scarcely any complaint, discomforts and pri vations which would bring yelps of anguish and indignation from almost any other country in the world. Take a brief look at the Japanese standard of living, which has de clined to a mere subsistence level, and compare it with our own pam pered existence. Japanese civilians are eating one- third as much as they did ten years ago. All food is rationed at that level. Sometimes housewives must wait six and eight hours in line to get: their meager rations. This is not so much a m atter of food short ages in Japan. Essentially, it is. a matter of conserving by 66 per cent the manpower and transportation fa cilities which would be required to bring food to civilians. How Clothes Are Made. The manufacture of civilian cloth ing from wool, cotton, linen and even silk is forbidden by law. AU clothing must be made of sufu—ar tificial material derived chemically from wood pulp. This clothing is rationed to the point where the av erage Japanese barely manages to keep clothed. It is not attractive. It is not even durable. The official Domei news agency reported recently that the grasshop pers were eating shirts of this ma terial right off the backs of the farmers in the fields. But this cloth ing has permitted Japan to divert 90 per cent of her vast textile industry to the production of war ma terials. Japanese shoes are now made of cardboard and rationed at the rate of one pair per year. They will wear about a month. When they are gone, nothing is available but wooden shoes and grass sandals. Japanese Transportation. The use of private automobiles for any and all purposes has been abol ished. Buses and streetcars have been reduced to the point where onJy half the city workers and stu dents can ride to the factories and schools. The others walk,' often eight to ten miles a day. A government permit is required to buy a railroad ticket, and the journey must be nec essary. The Japanese worker never had a 40-hour week. He had a 75-hour week, but now it is a 98-hour week, with one Sunday off each month. AU workers are registered. They accept assignments for training and duty exactly as if. they were in the regular army. Jap Heat Rationing. This winter, the Japanese civilian will be rationed only enough char coal to heat his home for 28 hours. He is advised to use this fuel two hours daily during the two coldest weeks of the winter. OBice buildings and government structures have had no heat for sev eral years. Trains wiU not be heat ed, nor wiU buses. Japan has the wood to produce enough charcoal for all. But that would take time, manpower and transportation. The consumption of gas, water and electricity in aU Japanese house holds is set by law, at a fixed rate of about 30 per cent of prewar con sumption. If the quotas are exceed ed, a heavy fine is imposed. If the offense is repeated, the offender is punished by having all his public- utility facilities shut off. Japanese students have no leisure time whatever. All are registered by the government end assigned to war work after school hours and dufing Summer vacations. They wdck in factories, on farms, on road buHding, on the docks, and as aux iliary police and firemen—wherever they can replace older men who can join the army. Scrap-iron drives in Japan are not merely a matter of cleaning out garages and basements. Even doorknobs and window, screens are taken. Volunteers walk aisng the streetcar and railroad tracks with magnets attached to the ends of poles to coUect the iron dust from the rails. From SO to 95 per cent of a Jap’s income goes into war b«nds, taxes and compulsory postal savings. The Japanese do not consider night life essential to civiUan morale in wartime. AU night dubs are closed to civilians. Bars are ra« tioned to the point where they can be’ open for two or three nights per week, from eight to ten o’clock.

HOUSE HUMIDIFIERS CAN BE HAD IN MANY FORMS ' i 'HERE are many inquiries on methods for humidifying the air of a house. With radiators, water pans can be set on top or hung, to one side; but these are of no great effect because radiators do not be come sufficiently hot to vaporize the water in any great amount. A much better type consists of two water pans of the same length as the radi ator, made so that there is a space between them. A piece of coarse mesh cloth is placed across the space, with its ends dipping into the two water pans. Water absorbed by the ends is carried through the rest of the cloth, and evaporation is rapid by the passage of hot air through the part of the cloth over the open space. Pans of this design are on general sale. The large electrical companies and heating contractors can supply a humidifying device to be attached to the ceiling of the cel lar connected to a register in the floor above. A circulating fan, a water spray connected to the plumb ing, and air filter, aU under adjust ment, win provide the house with the degree of humidification that is required. Moldy Odor Question: How can we IdU the moldy smeU in one of our downstairs rooms, caused by ground being un excavated under the room? Answer: The best thing to do would be to put down a good concrete floor in the ceUar and to provide more ventilation. Until you are ready to do this, however, it would help to use one of the blanket types of insulating materials, naUed be tween the floor joists. This kind of insulation is covered with a water proof paper and is available in one and two-inch thicknesses. The thick er the better. You also can dry up some of the dampness by using cal cium chloride, an inexpensive chem ical that has the property of ab sorbing moisture out of the air. Place several pounds of this in a wire basket, and stand it on a pail to catch the water that will form. Your heating plant should help to dry out the air of the cellar. Protecting Water Pipe Question: Last winter the pipe leading from the well into my ceUar froze up. The pipe is only two feet below the ground level; but it wiU be impossible for me to buiy it deeper. My plan is to dig it up and put insulation around it. What is your advice on this? Answer: First, cover the pipe with a thick felt insulation. Thai box it in, making all the joints of the box watertight by forcing in caulking compound. Then place additional insulation in the box, using mica pellets or water-repeUent rock wool. There should be at least three inches of space to fill in between the insu lated pipe and sides of the box. After putting on the cover, you can waterproof the box by applying two heavy coats of Uquid tar or asphalt aU over it. First Floor Is Cold Question: Since I had the roof of my two-apartment building insu lated, my tenant on the first floor complains of not getting enough heat. How could I cut down the radiation in the apartment on the second floor? The thermostat is on the second floor. Answer: The answer may be to put smaUer radiators in the second- floor apartment. Since you insulat ed the roof, the radiators in Hie up stairs apartment apparently are too large. Your heating man may be able to rearrange the radiators you already have. Oilcloth on Leather Question: Last summer I put oil cloth covers on my leather dining room chair seats. Becauseofwarm weather, the oilcloth stuck to the leather. Hbw can I get this off? Washing does not help. Answer: With a dull knife try to scrape the bits of oilcloth off the leather. Do this carefully and slow ly. Another method is to remove the bits by rubbing Ughtiy with very fine steel wool. Polishing with a paste wax may be advisable. Psdnt for Cement Block Question: What kind of paint should I use on my cement-block garage to make the walls waterproof inside and out? Answer: Use a cement base paint that contains a waterproofer. Most mason material yards handle this product. It comes as a powder, to be mixed with water. H O U S E H O L D M t m o s » # * W ake Up and Shine . . . for a H earty B reakfast! (See Becipes Below) W inter B reakfasts Though the wind may howl moan- fully and the icicles crackle coldly at your window these mornings when you arise to meet the day and aU its tasks, a hot, well-bal anced breakfast is bound to bring you to the alert in double quick time. Fruit or fruit juice wiU wake you first, then eggs, hot cereal, rolls or flapjacks will do the rest toward getting you on your way. Citrus fruit crops are especiaUy good this winter and wiU be at your breakfast service with aU their rich vitamins, minerals and health-giv ing quaUties. Their sparkle and freshness wiU give you a new start these busy mornings. Vitamin Cereals. It’s a wonderful idea to foUow up the fruit course with one of those quickly prepared hot cereals which are so rich in vitamin BI—that important vitamin you need daUy for preventing nervousness, fatigue and restlessness. There are several ways of doing up the hot cereals. The quick-cook ing wheat and oat cereals may be readUy prepared along with the rest of breakfast—in just a few minutes’ time. If you have a deep-weU cook er on an electric range you can place the cereal in glass jars along with dried fruits you are able to obtain, turn on the unit overnight, and have fruit and cereal ready-to- eat. Don’t hesitate at cooking the quick-cooking cereals longer—they are improved in flavor and more palatable if you give them a few extra minutes. Coddled Eggs. Coddled or soft cooked eggs are made by bringing a sauce pan of water to a good boil. Then turn out the heat, transfer into it the eggs with a spoon. Cover and let stand 5 to 10 minutes depending upon the con sistency of egg you desire. This is a good way to fix eggs—you can place them in the water while you’re getting the rest of the break fast. Change Yonr Breakfasts. Fried mush is a wonderful break fast food; serve it with syrup, but ter and honey, and even fried apple rings—for - a late Siuday morning feast . Toasted EngUsh muffins teamed with poached eggs—and a piece of broiled ham in- between wiU work wonders toward getting, the fami ly on its way out of bed. Packaged pan- §§ cake m ixtures 'will speed up the tempo at break fast time. Serve them with butter or vitaminized margarine—honey and butter syrup, melted together, or dark corn syrup flavored with a maple'extract are aU that could be desired, luscious indeed. No, I haven’t forgotten omelets! For a fluffy omelet allow 3 eggs for 2 people. Separate eggs, and beat each separately.

JESUS AFFIRMS HIS DEITY LESSON TEXT—John8:12, 25-36. 56-59. GOLOEN TEXT—He that bath seen ms hath seen the Father.—John 14:9. “The light of the World Is Jesus!” Who does not remember with what deUght we as chUdren sang, “Come to the Ught, -’tis shining for thee . . . The light of the world is Jesus.” How precious was the truth that thus flooded our souls. Jesus is the light. Just as the sunlight sheds its glory. on an awakening world at dawn, so He sheds abroad the Ught of God in the hearts of men. As this portion of God’s Holy Word is studied and taught, may the Ught break forth on many a soul caught in the bewilderment of this dark world. But that is only one of tne great thoughts around which our lesson centers. As Jesus here reveals Himself as divine, we consider four simple words, each fraught with rich meaning. I. Light (v. 12). The text says: “Ttien spake Jesus.” When? Just after He had silenced the hypocritical accusers of a woman taken in sin, and had spoken the word of peace to her troubled soul. She was to “go and sin no more” because she had met Him who is the Ught of the world. They that foUow Him “shaU not walk in darkness” ; they are the chUdren of Ught, they have the very Ught of life shining in their hearts and Uves. Not only, does Jesus Ught the be- Uever’s heart, but this Ught shines into all the dark corners of this wicked world, exposing sin and hypocrisy, and showing the way back to God. H. Salvation (w . 25-30). “Who art thou?” That is the ques tion every man must ask and an swer as he considers Jesus. Even neglect is an answer—a rejection. The answer of Christ in these verses goes to the very heart of the matter, for He takes the people right to the cross of Calvary. When they had crucified Him, they would know. Did not the centurion say: “Truly this was the Son of God” (Matt. 27:54)? It is true today that no man knows Christ until he knows Him as the crucified Saviour. Teacher, Exam ple, Guide—all these He is—but they are not enough, for we sinners need a. Saviour. May many today foUow the example of verse 30. UI. Freedom (w . 31-36). Free! Four letters, but what a depth of meaning !-Chains have fall en off, prison doors are open. The £ne who was bound is free. But here we are concerned with an even more important Uberty, the freedom of the 'soul. Many there are who boast of their independence but who are naught but slaves. Jesus said: “Whosoever commit- teth sin is the servant of sin” (v. 34), not its master. How shaU they be freed? Note three things in these verses: (1) A condition, “If ye continue in my word.” This means not only a profession of faith, but a daily ap propriation and realization of Ius truth in life. (2) A promise, “Ye shall know the truth.” The phUosophies of men profess to be a seeking after truth, but how few there are who look to the one place where it can be found —in Jesus Christ (3) A result, “The truth shaU make you free.” Truth always sets free. Men are enslaved because, as in some foreign lands, they have not had the opportunity to learn the truth or because they have rejected it. Men profess to seek truth in their research and in the process of edu cation, but without Christ they can not have real truth. Educational systems which rule Him out are deficient and lead to bondage rather than freedom. IV. Eternity (w . 56-59). Taking up their statement that they were Abraham’s children (see w . 33, 37), Jesus enters into the sharpest controversy with the un- beUeving Jews of His entire earthly ministry. They were claiming kin ship with a great man of faith who in his day had looked forward to the coming of Christ (v. 56). Now He was here, and instead of receiv ing Him as their Messiah they were ready to kiU Him. Not only did they claim Abraham as father, but also God. Jesus told them that in their sin and unbelief they were Of their “father the devil.” It is possible, then, to be very reUgious, to follow the tradi tions of one’s fathers, and yet to be children of the devil. AU this led up to their sharp re buke in verse 57, which denied to Christ anything but an earthly ex istence and which led Him to Ute statement of His eternity. He iden tified Himself definitely and clearly with the Eternal One—the great I AM of Exodus 3:14. Christ is God, and is therefore “infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, IioU- ness, justice, goodness and truth" (Westminster Catechism).

I can smell ’em!” Small Joe came tumbling downstairs fastening the belt of his shorts as he came. He made a beeline for the kitchen. Pop was al- i ready sitting at the table, reading ! the paper, while Mom held the handle of the frying-pan over the stove. Small Joe came close and sniffed the delicious smoke, wriggling all over with early-morning joy.“Better be thankful for them while you can still get them.” One glance at Mom’s face told small Joe this was one of her tight-lipped days. "Not a drop of coffee in the house, and no sugar left to put in it if there was. Some war!” Small Joe kept still.“Letter for you, son,” Pop said in his quiet voice. Small Joe made a leap for his place at table. There It was, a private personal letter for him alone, propped against his milk * “Hey, Pop! It’s from brother!” Small Joe was pulling the envelope apart and diving into the contents. “Hey, look what he sent me.” He passed over an oblong of thick, crinkly paper while he leaned over the sheet of writing-paper. “A twenty-five dollar War Bond,” Pop said slowly. Mom turned and looked at it over Pop’s shoulder, with the frying-pan In her hand.“Listen what he says. ‘How are you doing, kid? Hurry and grow up so you can help m e slap the Japs. Aren’t you most big enough to get into the Army? Here’s something for you in your name. Let’s the whole family gang up and help to win this war.’Pop and Mom were silent. But small Joe didn’t notice that. He was full of his letter and his War Bond.“Gee, Pop, in six years I couldSet into the Army, couldn’t I, Pop? lee, Pop, I want to be a soldier like brother and fight in this war, Gee, isn’t that bond nifty? Look, it was issued in Honolulu. It’s mine.”But Pop was looking at Mom and Mom was looking at Pop. There were tears in Mom's eyes. She shook her head sharply. Pop reached out and patted her hand gently.“Well, can’t let our soldier boy beat us to buying War Bonds, can we, old lady?” was all he said.She shook her head again. ' guess if he can give up his job and . . . and go off to war I can do some fighting back at home,” she said in a queer voice. Small Joe looked up at her in surprise. She saw him looking at her and spoke sharply. “Well, Joe. We’re about ready to eat. Say grace.”Small Joe folded his hands and bent his head as he had been taught."Oh Lord, we thank thee for this food and all thy bountiful gifts . . ”“Amen,” Pop said."Amen,” Mom said. “Now eat your good sausages.”(Story from an actual report in the files of the Treasury Department.)• a. • Amen: Say yes.

It is a known fact beyond the shadow of a doubt that there is a tremendous uprising against the 11 quor traffic. Multitudes of people are absolutely disgusted with the way liquor has rnrsed, and is curs ing, our country. They are tired of it. Since the repeal of the i 8tb Amendment we all know that drun kenness, crime and destructiveness has tremendously increased,- One of the most disgusting things connected with liquor in America is the fact that it has cursed our soldiers, in a very large measure This is stirring many people against it, causing them to work and pray for the return of prohibition. No soldier can be at his best, and what he ought to be, under the influence nf liquor. Common sense and rea son tells us this. It is high time that every sober American citizen were rising up to defend our nation against this curse of liquor. Ev ery father and mother who have sons in the army, or have sons who may enter later on, and who have neighbors that have sons in the ar. my, ought to pray and work earn, estly to stamp out liquor, at least to the extent that it is now legal, ized. Common sense tells us that when a Government sets its appro, val upon a thing that is a curse, and legalizes its manufacture and salo. or grants license to that ef fect, it is much worse indeed than it It outlawed such a thing. No American citizen should have li cense granted him by our Govern, ment to make and sell liquor. The Government should count it a crime to do so. This is the right and reasonable thing that should be done. One of our readers, Mrs. L. E. Oodbeyf of Woodleaf, who is an avowed enemy to liquor, In writing us along this line has this to say: 'For a Ionite long time Ihave been burdened about the liquor prob lems that we. as a nation, are hav ing to face. Let me pause here to say that it is my honest opinion we’ll never have a strong army and navy, (I mean as strong as it aould be) as long as we, the- citi. zens of the United States of Amer. ica, offer our boys in training that which will wreck them physically, mentally, morally and spiritually. They cannot be at their lest when their bodies are' weakened with stronfe drink, and something which makes a most intelligent young man lose his senses. It is absolute. Iy impossible for thetq to be alert, quick thinking, right, judging men when they are under the influence of such a damnable curse. " It breaks our hearts as parents of those boys, many of whom 1Iave come up in a Christian hoftie, and have been taught from childhood the evils of intoxicating drinks, to think they are thrown in company with thousands of those who drink, Yes, it breaks many a parent’s heart when their own preeious boys are thrown within its influence. Many bo>s who knewx nothing of the drink habit are thrown within its influence. Many boys who knew nothing of the drink habit are thrown how where they are called ssies,’ or some petty name, if they don’t partake. W bat a trag. edy to think of our teen age boys as they go forth to camp, or to be placed sinotig those who drink, re alizing that they are preparing? for the most awful war. in tue annals of history! O that God will put it in the minds of every leader to stand for the right, and stand for the welfare of these boys,- by keep, ing the temptation of strong drink away from them! “ We are proud today of our na tion; proud of the rights that have been preserved for us by the sacri ficial suffering and death of many of' our forefathers. We are proud of our wonderful flag, Old Glorv. Long may she wave ‘over the land of the free and the home of the brave.* Let’s bold her up and he. ver let her trail in the dust of shame 2nd degradation, which liquor and drunkenness is bringing upon us, : nd threatens us with. Let those who are interested in the cause of prohibition, sobriety, and our fu tore freedom as a na.ion, and our welfare for time and eternity, write to our officials and representatives at Washington and ask for prohi bition. Above all let’s pray and trust God to help us. From one that is concerned and interested.” If every woman in America would take the attitude that Sister God bey has taken we would see the' re. turn of prohibition in the near fu ture. However, the - tragic thine is that we have far over a million girls rnd women dealing in the cur. sed stuff, and multitudes of' them drinking it. rather than taking their stand against it. W hat a bur. ning shame! O that God will help American womanhood wake up! Will prohibition return! Not un til our ministers of the Gospel- go to preaching against liquor with all their power and our churches rise up against it with all their power and our churches rise up a- gainst it with all their power. Not until our fathers and m otb.rs go to praying against liquor and work ing to put it down. Not until the citizens of America go to the polls and vote dry. Will prohibition re turn? Not as long as we have a wet President at the head of the nation and wet politicians filling the offices of this nation, Will pro hibition return? Yes, if every Chris, tian on the American soil will pray, work and fight the cursed liquor traffic and demand their God given rights. Will prohibition return? Yes, when the law abiding,‘ liberty loving, red-blooded, sober citizen ship of this nation tise up in -the name of God and sobriety and set tbeir feet upon the neck of this murderous monster we call King Alcohol. It can be done; it ought to be done; it must be done, or we will eventually go down as a coun try and nation. Liquor will defeat any country and nation, —ay the great God of heaven come to our rescue and give us a dry, sober na tion again—a nation that ’ honors, serves and worships God above ev erything else. Amen. - / Kephart Hits Election Law Abuses Dr. A. P. Kepbart, of Blowing Rock, one of the leading Republi- cans of that section of North Caro, lina. has struck perhaps the hardest biow yet at the Democratic party’s abuse of the state election law and the absentee ballot, in a letter ad- dressed to Gov, Broughton, mem bers of the General Assembly and the newspapers of the state. Dr. Kephart discloses himself and Mrs. Kepbart as victims of the ir regularities in Watauga county, tell- ing of how he made out absentee ballots for himself and wife for the election in November and how the Democratic election board chairman, or some Democratic boss,, opened, them and changed them before they were voted. H ispointistbat the absentee bal> lot law cannot be administered in its present shape and he would favor its retentions only to apply to , men in tee armed service. His letter to the executive and hii general assembly, is much the hardest blow struck at recent election practices. Onr Jo b b to Save Dollaii B u y W a r B o n d s Every Pbj Doy “Where Are The Japs” M ilitary leaders are said to be confused about where to expect Jap fighting forces to strike next. "W here are the Japanese?” they are asking themselves, and' have only echo for answer. It is known that the Japs are in the Solomons area. There are in term ittent reports of Jap activities and heavy concentrations In Burma, French Indo-China and Manchuria, but there is no agreement on where they may be expected to strike in force or what may be anticipated from them. Some are claiming that the Japs have made the same mistakes H it ler has made—stretching bis forces too far and too thin; that they dare not relax their hold on any part of tittle Stingers.

But isn’t there a better answer to 41Where are the Japs?” than to conclude that they are in a dither about where to concentrate their forces? Time is the one element that Japan covets right now—time to consolidate and exploit the tre mendous giJns made in such a re markably short time In which the Allies were not prepared to resist How better can tbis time be gain, cd than by pecking away at her enemy, a little here, a little there, all the while keeping the Allies guessing. If the truth were known it pro. bably would be reaved that the Japanese armies have been striped of many soldiers who are now en gaged in industries on the main land -where raw materials have been brought from conquered arses, and still others employed in keep ing the flow of raw rubber, petrol eum and minerals streaming into tbe industrialized areas of the little island. . W ith the exception of a few A- merica u-boats tbat have been tak ing a pleasing toll of Japanese ship ping in waters adjacent to Japan, the coming and going should be al most as a holiday for Japan. She controls that entire section of the world for tbe present, and with her resourcefulness, can be counted on to make full effective usei of what ever time can be snitched from tbe Allied war schedule. Instead of wondering where tbe Jap military forces are, Allied leaders should be taking steps to hasten the day of President Roose velt’s prediction, when from basis in China the air will'be filled with bombers commissioned to blast Japan’s industrial areas to bits.

He was a radio- man and gunner, ann with the lieu* tenant who piloted hiB plane, imme diately took to tbe air and engaged in combat with the enemy planes. He shot down at least one plane and kept his guns blazing at others until he was out of ammunition. With their plane on fire, tbe pilot ordered him to bale out but he was unable to do so. 'He had died for freedom. Now they are kind enough to be ' building and naming a ship for him. Iappreciate this very much. Vet there is a greater honor that can be done to his memory and tbe memory of all our boys from North Carolina who gave their lives for freedom overseas. It is to establish freedom here at home. Make elections' in Korth Carolina free and fair. Re-. peal the fraud-inviting, fraud-pro ducing absentee ballot. Give tbe minority party in tbe close counties of our state at least a chance to com- pete in a free election with the ma jority party. Fortbe mothers and Tathers and kinsmen of the bov,s who die overseas for freedom, keep faith with their memory and their sacri fices by giving us freedom here in North Carolina. As an humble, heavy hearted fath* er of a fallen sailor. I am persuaded to call upon tbe great Governor of a great state to rise above politics and to admit by your acts that an absen tee ballot that is too unfair to use on Democrats in the primary is too un. fair to use in elections on Republi cans, whose sons have died for the freedom of the world The scatter is yours and tbe Legislature’s. Give us unity in time cf war by giving os freedom and free elections now. Very respectfully yours, M. B. MILLER. 10% OP INCOME IS OUR QUOTA IN WAR BONDS THE DATIB RECORD. MOCKSVILLE, N.

He is one swivel chair general whose shiny pants- seat is the result of hard work.

Mr. Fly now draws blood with an announcement that recent vulgarity on radio programs has brought more complaints than usual, and that the FCC is investigating. This might be a belated riposte to the charge of incompetence made not so long ago by the National As sociation of Broadcasters.

Slacks and Pajamas Lead the Way to a New Field of Design By CH ERIE NICHOLAS M CO FAR we have been accepting pajama costumes as an interest ing fashion diversion. Skeptics there were in the early days when pajama and trousered fashions were regard ed as novel and of passing fancy. However, the practicality of the trousered costume became more and more apparent, until in this time of wartime activities what at one time seemed but a fleeting, transient fash ion gesture has grown into a perma nent phase that challenges designers to accept the movement as one that demands of them a technique that leads into a new field of design. Today there is a unanimous de mand for women’s slacks and pa jamas for every day wear, as well as for leisure moments. Designers are rushing to produce a larger and more varied collection of attractive styles than ever before. An exciting ly wide range of attractive fabrics in rayon constructions, in velvets and crepes have been drawn upon. Meas uring up to the beauty of fabric is the magnificent way in which design ers are rising to the situation of cre ating smart and diversified fashions along the new avenue of thought. The models pictured speak for themselves in that they demonstrate the really triumphant grasp of things that has taken place among style creators who are, with their design ing ability, giving to the new trou sered vogue a stable and permanent place in the mode for all time. The call for at-home costumes that will defy the menace of low tem perature is met in the costumes shown in the above illustration. It is interesting to note the versatility thejr express and the one note that rings through the group is the charm ing femininity that has been stressed in the modish jacket and tunic tops. Pilot blue rayon fabric with an at tractively textured surface is used for the youthful pajama suit above to the left. Interesting style details are seen in the peplum effect and especially in the scallop treatment. The tunic-top pajamas pictured to the right are designed for the tall fig ure. The tri-color scheme achieved in pajamas of royal blue sheer rayon crepe are punctuated with bright flashes of fuchsia and green inserted as pleats. There is the suggestion of a Russian cossack tunic here that is most picturesque. The belt and buckle are of the blue fabric. A charming antidote to chills is the striking hostess pajama ensem ble centered in the group. The long- sleeved jacket in sapphire blue rayon crepe combines with well-cut trou sers in sooty black. The black ac-. cent is repeated smartly at the jack et front where gold embroidered ap plique adds a sumptuous look. You may be tempted to appropriate this regal looking jacket as a fitting com plement to a formal floor-length crush-resistant velvet skirt should occasion demand. The inset below to the right shows black rayon faille trousers and a red wool jacket striped with black rayon braid. A stunning winter cocktail costume this! Shown in the inset to the left, velvet lounging pa jamas are worn with complete non chalance. The velvet is crush-resis tant. The costume is enlivened by the embroidered jacket elaborately decorated with red chenille flowers. Releaaed toy Western Newspaper Union* Velvet Highliglit This season it is both patriotic and smart style to make one dress play a many-purpose role by changing its accessories. Pictured above is a - simple black afternoon frock which has been high-spotted with detach, able bows of black velvet. The ’ magic of accessories is further' stressed in a picturesque hat made of rose colored velvet, plus gloves of matching velvet. The fact that the: hat and gloves are rose colored is style significant, for black cos- ] tumes highlighted with pink rank ace high in importance this season. H a n d k n it FrockB Uany new and interesting details give to handknit frocks, outstanding style this season. One of the smart fashion trends is the wee narrow yarn fringe that outlines edges of yokes, pockets, sleeves and necklines. Tlie iise of handmade yarn ball trim- ming is . also noted, likewise little yarn tassels. Be Sure to Choose Earrings Carefully Important fashion news points to earrings. That earrings add general interest to the face there is no doubt, and chosen carefully from the color standpoint they certainly add bril liancy to the eyes. However, don’t think that any old earrings will do the trick. Choose your earrings with a very keen sense of proportions of your face and be sure to try them on with and without your hat. A pair of gold earrings in a fine floral pattern, or a leaf design, to loop effect scroll or a two-tone twist will always be smart and will go with both daytime and informal clothes. In selecting earrings the best thing to do is to match or ac cent your eyes. Watch your lipstidc and finger nails that their color does not clash with jewels. Tiny, Veiled Hats Are Trimmed With Ostrich ’ Very tiny hats are popular for dress occasion. Especially favored are the wee ones that are cunningly trimmed with ostrich tips in rose or light blue or fuchsia tones. With these you wear a crisp veil that stands out daintily like a halo alout the head. These veils are stiff ened to flare out like a brim, and they keep in good ftttin Without wilt ing down in limp and unsightly fashion. Lace Edging If in doubt as to how best to finish off the edges of the print frock you are making, or the pastel faille frock or taffeta plaid blouse, let narrow black-lace be your answer."" This pretty trim is to be seen everywhere. The black sheer dress with low-cut neckline is very charming with the new frilly black lace accent. ...............IMPROVED' UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI CHOOL U esso n , BY HAROLD L. LVNDQUIST.

JESVS HEALS A MAN BORN BLIND LESSON TF,XT—John 9:18-38. GOLDEN TEXT—"One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.”—John 9:25. The love of Christ is seen in its full beauty against the background of man’s hatred and unbelief. Last week we saw Him coming away from the stones with which his enemies sought to kill him. As He passed by He had the time and the compas sion to stop and help a man who had been born blind. His disciples, afflicted in some degree with the speculative tendencies of their time, saw in this blighted life only an il lustration ot a theological theory abcut sin. But Jesus, by a loving and gracious act, stirred in the heart of the man that faith which caused him to obey—to go, to wash, and to see (v. 7). The enemies of Christ were not willing to believe even what they now saw to be true. Their stubborn unbelief shut the door to blessing for them, but the blind man received three things by faith: I. Healing (w . 18-23). The argument with the man’s par ents hinged on one point—he had been healed of his blindness. The parents were unwilling to risk ex communication by discussing the matter, but they did know that he had been blind and now could see. That was clear. An experience like that is impos sible to deny. The healing of the soul of man in regeneration is also a stubborn fact which deniers of God’s Word and God’s grace are unable to meet and overcome. The one who was blind and now could see had no questions about the deity of Christ and His saving power. What is more, he was not afraid to testify. He could “speak for him self” (v.'21). Note the difference between the three classes here: Blind and stub born unbelief (v. 18), faith too fear ful to speak (v. 22), and the assured faith of the one healed. That is our next point. n . Assurance (vv. 24-34). The appeal of the Jews in verse 24 based on their statement: “We know that this man is a sinner,” reminds us that there is no knowledge so absolute (and so absolutely wrong) as that of ignorance backed by self-conceit. They said they knew, but did not. The man had complete assurance by faith and by experience. He did not argue (v. 24), he simply restated his healing. “I was blind—now I see.” When they evaded that reply (for they dared not meet it), he thrust deep with the convicting fact that God does not perform His mira cles in response to the prayers of a wicked man. That was too much for them, and they cast him out. Even as the stupidity and stub born willful unbelief of our Lord’s enemies grew step by step, so also did the healed man’s assurance grow as he testified. First he called the Lord “a man called Jesus” (v. 11); then “a prophet” (v. 17), and then at last, “the Son of God” (w . 35-38). Standing true taChrist and speak ing for Him means growth in faith, in knowledge and in grace. It may mean persecution and even exclu sion, but remember that when the man was cast out by the haters of Christ, he met Christ. “His excom munication was a promotion. He .went from the synagogue to the /Saviour” (Scroggie). And that is our third point. In . Fellowship (w . 35-38). He did not know Jesus. He had heard His voice, but he was blind then and had not seen Him. He probably did not know where to find Him. Then, too, he was now an outcast under the disfavor of the authorities, and even his friends would fear to be seen with him. But Jesus sought him: Ah, that’s the glorious difference between our Lord-and those who look at the out ward appearance of things. He Vent to find the man who now needed fellowship, instruction and encour agement. He had sought the man out to heal him, now He sought him again to help him spiritually. We need to learn of our Lord that we are not to wait until the sin and suffering of men force themselves upon our attention and force us to do something. We are to go out into Uie highways and the hedges and urge sinners to come to Christ. We have failed in this. We have built churches and expected the people to come, instead of ..going where the people are, and bringing them' the gospel. The war is teaching us some lessons in that connection, but we are none too quick to learn and to act. There is a beautiful touch in verse 37. Dr. Madaren points out that when speaking to the woman of Samaria, Jestu said: “I that speak unto thee am he,” but to the man who had just begun to see He said: “Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that speaketh to.thee.” The Qurist who gave sight, now gives Himself to be peen. HOUSEHOLD HfHOS.> # i ' M Give Cupid a Break . . . Babe Him a Cake <See Becipes Below) Valentine Notes Along about this time, even though It isn’t spring, there’s a note of pre cious sentiment that gets into the atmosphere. Perhaps it’s those bits of bright red and lacy paper the children have been pasting into heart shapes, the rhymes they’ve been making. Yes! Valentines! Cupid has a way of darting into this season and winning us over— even if only with a cardboard ar row springing out of a froth of red and white paper cutouts of hearts. Why not plan to give yourself up to a party with a Valentine theme? Let’s make it simple but festive for even simple gayety will do loads for your morale. Eixcept for the cake in today’s column which is a wee bit party-ish, the rest of ingre dients in the party are streamlined to save your time. Our color scheme for the holiday runs into red-and-white, so our main dish is going to be a variation of the old favorite chicken and cran berries. MeIlied Chicken and Cranberry Loaf. (Serves 6) 1 tablespoon gelatin 2 cups well seasoned chicken broth 6 small thin slices chicken 2 cups minced chicken Cranberry mixture > Soften gelatin in a little broth, add remaining broth and heat un til gelatin is dis solved.

(For Chicken Loaf) I pint cranberry juice VA tablespoons gelatin U teaspoon salt Dash of cayenne^ Jnice of Yi lemon I cup minced celery Soften gelatin in a little cranberry sauce; dissolve over hot water. Add remaining juice and seasonings. Cool and add celery. Snce the main dish is a combina tion salad and main dish—if served with a lettuce or watercress gar nish and mayonnaise if you want it, balance the menu with some attrac tive assorted sandwiches. Sand wiches should be light snacks for this type of party, so we’ll fall back on the old standby, cream cheese. Cream Cheese Rollg. ^ Mix I package of softened cream cheese with I tablespoon of mayon naise and' a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Blend thoroughly. Take thinly Lynn Says: The Score Card: It looks very much as though you will cook what you can find with more foods announced as to become ra tioned. Canned and frozen foods along Witli meats will be less easily available. Fresh fruits and vegetables are to be unrationed so keep your budgetwise and marketwise eyes cocked for bargains. Turnips, carrots, beets,' citrus fruits and apples will appeal to wise menu makers. Canned soups which you obtain and pay more for now are usu ally more concentrated and you can get more food value from them. You’ll like using dehydrat ed soups, too, the chicken-noodle combinations being winners. . Plan to pack whole wheat flours and dehydrated pancake mixes into your shopping bags. The former will help you get vitamin B in the diet, while the latter is a fine time-saver.

We are sorrv the Mocksviile merchants were not present for the meeting. Madam Perkins, one of the Pre sident’s cabinet members, wfaodoes not sail nnder her married name, seems to be in bad standing with the CIO. If Madam Perkins is in good standing with anyone except a few New Dealers in Washington', we don’t know who it is.

LINCOLN’S GETTYS BURG SPEECH Next Friday, Feb. 12th, will be the birthday oi Abraham Lincoln. One hundred and thirty-two years ago this great man was born In log cabin. We are priming below the speech he delivered on the bat. tlefield at Gettysburg, on Nov. 19, 1863 No greater utterances have' ever been made by an American citizen: ’’Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the propo. sition that all men are created e* qual. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so con ceived and dedicated, can long en dure. We are met on a great bat tlefield of that war We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who , here gave their lives that that na. tion might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot conse crate, we cannot haltow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecra ted it far above our powers to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember, what we say here, bnt it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rath er for us to be here dedicated to the great task rematniug before ns, that from those honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause tor which thev gave the last full measure of devotion; that we highly resolve that these dead shall not bave died in vain; that this na' - tion, under God, shall have a new Tbe annual Lincoln Day Dinner for the Republicans of North Caro lina, will be held next Saturday, Feb. 13th, at the Robert E Lee Hotel, in Winston-Salem.

He had a pleasant smile for everv one We will always cherish the mem. ory of the many kind deeds of Mr, Rich. His memory will linger long in our hearts.

Advance, Rl Work Against The Wine Bill The following are some of the rea sons why the Wine Bill, A B144, now pending in the General Assembly, should be defeated: 1. Enoctment of the Wine Bill would legalize throughout the State wine with alcoholic content of 20 per cent. This would increase the alco holic contents of legal wine in the 75 Dry Counties from 14 percent, to 20 per cent. In many Counties, wine is the cause of mnch drunkenness at present; and its sale should be pro hibited instead of having its legal al- coholic content increased. 2. The Wine Bill proposes to set up an Organization to administer the wine business. Though the Bill a dopts the misleading name “The Wine Control Act,” there is nothing in the Bill that indicates any inten tion to reduce the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. The ef fect of the Bill would be to set up a State-wide Organization that would operate at the expense of the tax payers in promoting the liquor busi throughout North Carolina. En actment of the Bill would not- only increase the alcohol content of legal wine in our 75 Dry Counties from 14 per cent, to 20 per cent, but would establish a propaganda organization that would operate a t public expense to boost the liquor business; and it is quite apparent that the State-wide Organizationthat the 3ill proposes to create, with a $6,600.00 Czar at the head, would become an effective promoter and propaganda agent for the liquor traffic. In addition to the foregoing and numerous other moral and bo dal reasons why the Wine Bill would be harmful to North Carolina, it should be opposed and defeated for economic reasons. When our school teachers and other State em ployees ask for increases in pay. many folks oppose these increases to these legitimate workers on the grounds that existing emergencies and future uncertainties are such that our State should not increase her finandal committments. But the Wine Bill not only proposes to set up a wine Czar to be paid with State funds and unlimited number of as* si8tsnt8 and other workers in the capacity- of enforcement officers.' undercover men and other persons who would cover every township in reality to eat political pie, promote the liquor business and build up a political machine for the wine Czar and his political buddies.

When they arrive in Tlerta U bra they Snd both Zora and her husband dead. It Is MitcheUtS Joh as ehiet engi- . aeer for a Irult company that l e t has been called Se Sn. Later Jeff’s friend BIU Henderson Is killed, and Jeff suspects his employer, Senor Montaya, of murder* Ing Um and the Mitchells because they had found a doe to the strange things going on a t the plantation. Other sin ister Ilguret are the company chemist, D r. ToenJes, and the Byers, Ryden and Lannestock. A man named Collins ar rives from the Canal Zone to see Mitcb- CD. A talk with Jerry McInnIs has revealed that Montaya Is part German and is dealing with the Nazis. Jeff has gone to find Collins. NOW CONTINUE WITH THE STORT CHAPIEB XVI For several minutes neither man moved. Gradimlly Curt edged him self into deeper blackness, got closer, put the figure between himself and light, the light from the Co* mandancia not far distant. The out line looked like Collins. He called die name softly. No answer. He tried again. “Yes,” came the low acknowledg ment. Curt approached. “Looking around, huh?” No answer. “Find anything?” Silencet Then, “No.” “Well, my friend, it’s time for you and me to have a talk. First, your credentials. Let’s see them.” No move from the other at first, then an amiable “Sure,” and Col lins reached into a pocket. “That’s better. Lieutenant, Na val Intelligence, eh? Glad to have you. Shake.”It was the handclasp that turned the trick. Collins unbent. "I need a friend here,” he confessed. "You armed?” “Yes. Had my service pistol cached.”“Good. It’s nearly eleven. The village will be asleep by midnight, I expect. Go back to your room. Unhook your rear window screen to be sure you make no noise later.” “I did. Got out that way.” Curt grunted. “Well, go back to bed for a while. You’ve likely sized up the place and know who’s here?” “Sure.” “Then when they’re all abed and have had time to get to sleep, wake up Monahan. He’s in the last room.” “I know.” “Bring him out along the main track to the motorcar shed, mid dle—” Curt broke off, stared toward the mess-hall. Some groups were breaking up for the night, judging from the sounds, “—middle of the yards. Got that? Enough for now. Get back to your room, I’ll see you later.” Curt returned to his bungalow, Collins disappeared into the night. Outside the mess-hall Emilio was having a few last words with his erstwhile partners before heading for the engineering bungalow. Curt had barely time to climb in, hook his window screen behind him, hang his clothes over a chair as they had been earlier, and stretch out under the mosquito bar. He’d have to leave the magazine against the door and hope that Emilio would give it no thought, or at worst sup pose a freak burst of wind had knocked it to the floor.He heard Emilio fumble at the lock, the slight scrape of the maga zine as the door pushed it back over Jie floor. A shadow blocked out the light at his bedroom door. He sim ulated deep breathing and closed his lids until he could see only through Ius lashes. Emilio looked and listened, then withdrew. Presently the porch light snapped off, the front door clicked shut, and Curt heard the man’s steps headed for the bachelor quar ters. They sounded sharp on the asphalt walk. The' luminous dial of his watch told Curt it was 11:30. Later than he’d thought. He lay relaxed for a few minutes, but dared hot close his eyes, afraid he would fall asleep after his full day. Soon he got up, dressed again, this time taking his hat, and let himself out the front way. He rec- onnoitered carefully. Avoiding the street lamps. Curt made his way to the rendezvous and waited impatiently until at last two figures, little darker than the background itself, came toward him. He recognized Monahan’s stride. "Good man, Slats,” he said when they were close enough. “This will do you out of your sleep, but it can’t be helped. Get yourself a cudgel and keep alert. Collins and I will be gone three or four hours. *Ve mustn’t be longer, for the place’U be stirring to life soon after that. Hang out . at' my bungalow, Slats. Anyone starts snooping around, conk him. Tie him up, only don’t let anyone find out I’m miss ing, and don’t be recognized your self. Got me?” “Got yuh.”The motorcar shed was an open front building with three short tracks. His own car was headed out, fortunately the first car on its track. Curt remembered the speedometer and disconnected it. There must be no mileage record of this trip. - Curt didn’t open the car wide. Tbe engine was smooth enough, but iron wheels on iron rails in this still night air rang alarmingly loud to men who needed silence. Further, in running without lights at high speed over an uneven roadbed, even a snake unseen on the track might derail them. Under way, Collins turned to Curt in the seat beside him. "I’ve fol lowed blind so far. Where are we headed?” Curt chuckled mirthlessly. “The one spot you want above all to vis it.” After a moment, “We better have it out, Collins. Suppose we begin with you. How did you get in on this? I reckon I know, but I’d rather you told me.” “I had a note -from Bill Hender son. He enclosed a letter from Mr. Mitchell—”"One thing. Did you know of Mitchell’s murder before you left the Zone?” “Yes. That’s the reason I was sent. Mitchell hinted in his letter at a Nazi movement here which would endanger the Canal, and he wanted someone sent to confirm some serious discoveries he’d ifiade and take action. “But the letter was so involved and guarded and vague that we thought it crank stufi. We get more of that than you’d suppose. Never theless, we put out some feelers. No matter how wild the yarn that comes in, we can’t ditch it in the waste basket. “Naturally we have some pretty good sources of information here and I Ihis lower gate was locked. there throughout these countries. First thing w as-to check up on Mitchell—the type of man, how re sponsible he was, and so on. Well, while we were doing that we got word of his murder. So that seemed to indicate a pretty thorough investi gation was needed. I drew the de tail. “While over in Soledad getting the lay of the land, I heard of the other two deaths. Ihat clinched it. Ihe next step was to get in here on the ground, ferret out what was going on.”“Is that what you were doing, snooping around the docks at Tem- pujo tonight?” Curt chuckled. “What did you think you could learn there?” “Listen, man,” retorted Collins in a huff, “I couldn’t just walk In here, look around, and ask questions. I had to get established first, so as to be accepted. You’ve, planted me up river where there’s-obviously noth ing to see. I’ve had one definite objective since our plane faked trouble the other day, but it’s at San Alejo. - Meanwhile, until I can get to it, there’s no harm looking around where I can.” “Okay, okay,” Curt apologized. “No offense. We’ll give you a crack at that objective right now. Mitch ell wasn’t hitting the pipe. I’ve been smelling trouble myself for the two weeks I’ve been here, but only tonight did I click on it.” He told Collins the story Montaya had given him about the hangars- first built, later abandoned to stor age purposes because the flyers, pointed out the bad location. He told of the boxed airplane wings he’d seen the day of bis ar rival. “ I know,” put in Collins enigmat ically. “I had a talk with the men of that plane when they put down at Puerto Soledad.” Curt grunted and went on. He told of Mitchell’s rising suspicions over a shipment from Japan—or through Japan, he added—of eight long, square-end boxes. Heavy boxes, like overstuffed coffins, Monahan had told him. He told of having seen only yester day another pair of big, heavy square boxes marked generators, from Germany via Vladivostok. So far as he knew, and he was pretty familiar with the project by now, they had no use for generators of that size, nor were any on order that he knew of, and he’d had ac cess—presumably—to all engineer ing equipment orders then placed. They reached the airfield spur. Pd TTFMS S £ W i N 6 C t R C L t Here a wide stand of manzanltas made a black blob on the land scape. They dared not continue use of the motor, for sound rises and San Alejo was not more than a kilometer ahead and above them. Pushing the car up the branch line, and backing out by the third leg of the “Y” onto Ihe main line again, they had the car headed for Tempujo once more. They left it in the blackness of the low trees. Curt fumbled in the tool box, stuck a chisel into a hip pocket, and the two men struck off down the airfield branch. Stars there were aplenty, and they, gave some light, but there was no moon and the going was rough. They followed the tracks to the spur that led to the bodega, at the lower end of the field, then up this spur to the fence. This lower gate was locked, but Curt expected that* He led the way along the fence un til they’d turned the comer at the end of the field, then on to the copse of trees that sheltered the big buildings. Theblacknessherewassothick it felt solid as they pushed into it. “I doubt if we need to worry about a guard inside,” Curt muttered. “The fence is ordinary protection and they couldn’t keep a watchman at this end of the field without his showing a light at times. Lights down here would cause speculation if seen from San Alejo.” He seized hold of the fence and pulled and pushed experimentally. “I don’t know,” he confessed, "but I suspect it’s strung along the top for alarm. In any case, it’d be dam near impossible for us to get over that barbed stuff in the dark. We’ll burrow under.” They used the flashlight, playing it close to the ground. I1Utting the chisel to work to loosen the earth, Curt scraped away with his hands until they had a hole through which they coifid crawl. He had a sudden thought. “Hey, take off your clothes! I’ve got fresh ones at Tempujo for my self, but if I give you any others it might be noticed.” “Bight.” Collhis stripped to his shorts for the forage, and, minus a gun belt, had to carry his automatic in his hand. They circled the three build ings cautiously, the two hangars, the adjoining shed-roof between, du plicate of the hangaTS at the other end of the field. “Haven’t yet cut the grass here,” commented Curt. “Huh. Probably don’t intend to—it’s a better indica tion that the buildings aren’t in ac tive use.”High in the walls was a continu ous horizontal strip of windowing in ground glass. Not the faintest glimmer of light showed, anywhere. “Absolutely perfect camouflage from above,” growled Curt. “Look how they huilt the center portion around trees. The trunks go up through the roof. I’ll bet not a square foot of these buildings can be seen from the air. Only the tracks leading in here would tell anything, and they can’t be avoided. But even the tracks, with the weeds not kept down, probably look like a cart path.” They were now in front. Down at the other end of the field only a few night lights showed. “This loading platform along the front,” went on C urt “It’s anchored only lightly to the buildings and the ground. My guess is it could be picked up by a couple of dozen men and swung out of the way In a few minutes. Pretty dam clever." True, this loading platform, the height of a flat car, was not solid. It jiggled to a healthy push. “Well, we can’t force the doors, obviously.” “Can we dig under as we did with the fence, or do you suppose there’s a floor?”Curt pondered.. “Bound to be a cement floor,” he decided. “Any way, we couldn’t tamp down earth inside when we left. No, the wall is only corrugated sheet iron. Let’s find a section to pry loose.” They searched along the back of the buildings, coming finally to a spot where Curt could use his chisel again with least likelihood of its being discovered. It took some min utes before they had one sheet of the sheathing sufficiently sprung to give them entrance. There .was noise to this job, try as they would to muffle it, but they seemed to have the field to themselves. They crawled through the opening. Only Curt had a flashlight. He played it about experimentally, then more boldly, taking care that neither the beam nor a reflection from it should-hit the strip of windowing. Then it fell on something and stopped dead I Directly above them spread wings of death. “By God, Collins! What’d I tell you!” His words sounded hollow, and echoes slapped back at them from the walls. The finger of light picked out the fuselage of a huge plane that towered above the two men, played along it back and forth. A long, slender, cigar-shaped body, its nose of glass, two-motored, its wings appearing stubby from this angle. “A Heinkel!” exclaimed Collins, and again echoes reverberated. A Heinkel it was. But on th« under side of its wings and on th« side of the fuselage was lettering and the circle-within-a-star-within-a>circle emblem to identify it as as American plane!

Pop was already sitting at the table, reading die paper, while Mom held the handle of the frying-pan over the stove. Small Joe came close and sniffed the delicious smoke, wriggling all over with early-morning joy.“Better .be thankful for them while you can still get them.” One glance at Mom’s face told small Joe this was one of her tight-lipped days. “Not a drop of coffee in the house, and no sugar left to put in it if there was. Some war!” Small Joe kept still."Letter for you, son,” Pop said in Ms quiet voice. Small Joe made a leap for his place at table. There it was, a private personal letter for Mm alone, propped against his milk glass.“Hey, Pop! It’s from brother! Small Joe was pulling the envelope apart and diving into the contents. “Hey, look what he sent me.” He passed over an oblong of thick, crinkly paper while he leaned over the sheet of writing-paper.“A twenty-five dollar War Bond,” Pop said slowly. Mom turned and looked at it over Pop’s shoulder, with the frying-pan in her hand.“Listen what he says. fHow are you doing, kid? Hurry and grow up so you can help me slap the Japs. Aren’t you most big enough to get into the Army? Here's something for you in your name. Let’s the whole family gang up and help to win this war.’ " .Pop and Mom were silent. But small Joe didn’t notice that. He was full of his letter and his War Bond.“Gee, Pop, in six years I could get into the Army, couldn’t I, Pop? Gee, Pop, I want to be a soldier like brother and fight in this war. Gee, isn’t that bond nifty? Look, it was issued in Honolulu. It’s mine.”But Pop was looking at Mom and Mom was looking at Pop. There were tears in Mom’s eyes. She shook her head sharply. Pop reached out and patted her hand gently.“Well, can’t let our soldier boy beet us to buying War Bonds, can we, old lady?” was all he said.She shook her head again, guess if he can give up his job and . . . and go off to war I can do some fighting back at home,” she said in a queer voice. Smali Joe looked up at her in surprise. She saw him looking at her and spoke sharply. "Well, Joe. We’re about ready to eat. Say grace.” ■ . ,Small Joe folded his hands and bent his head as he had been taught.“Oh Lord, we thank thee for this food and all thy bountiful gifts . .

History recalls the fall of nations across the centuries of time. Great and small nations have likewise fal. Ien. Let me ask the question, why do nations fall? W e find-that they had the blessings of God upon .them in many ways. They were blessed with sunshine and rain, fruits and harvests, minerals and materials of all kinds, and the people had plen ty i t intelligence and golden oppor tunities. Many of the nations that have fallen have been educated and have had great leaders and power ful armies to protect them; but they went down. They crumpled in the dust, so to speak. There is only one reason, and that is' wickedness. No nation has ever been able to survive wicked ness and awful iniquity long at a time. A century or two, or. may be more in some Instances, of drift ing into idolatry, adultly, lustful pleasure, dishonesty, drunkenness, debauchery, profanity, luxury, dis obedience to God and the Holy Bi. ble. pride, envy, malice, hatred, murder, ths love of money, greed and warfare brings tbe nation down. This is wbat history recotds. The facts are before the eyes of the world. fudging tbe future from the past, and beholding the awful, awful, AW FUL wickedness of the nations of earth today, are we not headed for a tremendous downjall? Ua- donbtedly we are. W hat brought on the flood in ancient times which we have received in ,Holy W rit, that destroyed the people from tbe face of the earth, except Noan and his household who went into the ark? Was it not wickedness, dread ful. horrible wickedness? Most as suredly it was. And did not our blessed Master tell us that it would be like it was in the day of Noah at His coming again? Certainly: Then, wbat are we facing? How mucb more wicked must the world become before it is as corrupt and wicked as it was in Noah’s day? I don’t know, but surely it won’t have to be much worse than it is today to equal the age in which he lived. Wickedness destroys men and nations. Regardless of how great and strong men and nations are in tellectually, and in wealtb, and in manpower, and in discoveries and inventions, no nation can bear up under preadful wickedness. It al ways brings on motal, physical mental, material and spiritual col lapse. Read history. Observe things for yourself. Wickedness destroys individuals and nations. Let Us Pray Prayer is direot thinking. The minister in the book, “ How Green is — y Valley” saysto theboy-Huh Don’t be afraid of prayer,' lad; prayer is only another name for good clean direct thinking. When you pray think well wbat you are saying, and make.your thoughts in to things that are solid.” This is cartainly good advice not only for a boy who is trying to learn to pray but for an adult wbo is accustomed to praying every day. Prayer is another name for clean direct thin, king. When we bow in prayer we should not stop thinking but we should pray with sincerity of feel ing and oneness of purpose. W e should meditate - upon God, his goodness; his mercy, sense of justice and bis truth. We should seek to understand ourselves and should ask God to teach us how to know ourselves. We should reflect upon tbe grrces and virtues of the Christian character as the gospel of God illustrates and defines those graces and virtues. 'Therefore let us pray and keep on praying.— Rev. Loy D. Thompson. wGevew Was A Poet Twenty-five years ago, “ deve” P. R. Kimbrough, was with tbe fighting forces in France On tbe [8 th day of January, 1918, he sent us tbe fcllowing poem: SOM EW HERE. Just to know that somewhere Someone thinks of me tonight, Calls my name and prays for me To God to keep me right; Mavbe at a party gay, Or maybe just at home; Somewhexe someona thinks of me, And wonders where I roam. Down the paths of yesterday Come sweet dreams to me; Voices that I used to know, Things that could not be. I would give my every chance To reach eternal light, I who’ve sailed the seven seas. For someone's love tonight. MaDDers Maketh The Mao The funny thing about manners is that there is so little said about etiquette. Yet manners, which are conduct or behavior, are so impor tant while etiquette, the forms to be ooserved in social life,- is so unim portant. Manners have made very little change in fundamentals for centuries while etiquette varies mar kedly in in a decade. Take the matter of table manners, for. instance. A Thirteenth Cen tury Latin text of manners for child, ren says, “ When you are set down, tell no dishonest tale; eschew also, with all your might, to be scornful; and let your cheer be humble, blithe and merry, not chiding as if you were ready for a fight.” That re cipe was written five hundred years ago but it 'can scarcely be bettered today. Another old treatise on manners says, "W hen you are set before the meat, fair and honestly it eat. First, look you that ,your bands be clean.” That- W a s ^ r r itte n long be fore we knew that diseases were caused by germs, or that dirty hands may carry disease, or that soap and w attr would kill germs. We live in a scientific age when we like to know the reasons for things, but long before out fore fathers knew why things happened as they did they bad already es tablisbed many of the habits of conduct 'which we know today. No body knows who first observed that cleanliness and good health were as. sociated, but some of our wiser an cestors must have suspected it.. We can glibly tell reasons now — that soap and water kill disease germs—that the secretions and ex cretions of the body may contain harmful backteria and so on. But it mnst have taken keen observe tion and a well developed sense of good conduct to have made cleanli ness at tbe table so important be fore any one had ever thought of germs.—NTA ,Clip Sheet. 30,000 Cars At Game \ .

Loy D Thompson) Prayer is one ,of man’s elemental hungers. It is a deep, poinant. per sist hunger for God. Nothintr short of God can satisfy that hunger. Browning in his Paracelsus gives ex pression to thio heart hungry emo tion when he says: “I need thee I feel thee, I love thee.” Yes, every one needs the Eternal. The growing child Wftb his expanding ideals and his developing life needs him. The mature man with his tasks. and his problems needs hlms. The aged men and women with their heavy burdens snd their increasing, complexities need him. Human life is so incom plete. Our very incompleteness calls for his completeness. Our emptiness calls for his fulness. Our shallow ness calls for his depth and pro foundly. Our eyes look for the light, our ears listen for sound, our souls search for human fellowship and our spirits long for communion with God in prayer. Thesecond thought that Brown ing suggests is true also. Namely: ''I feel thee.” When the saint >s at his best sometimes God is so near that he fancies that he can put out his hand and touch him. God comes to us through so many open doors we cannot help but feel bis sacred pre sence if we care to find him. We can feel his presence through the multitudious avenues of nature. He looks at us in the rose and the liily. He smiles upon us out of the starry heavens. He sounds bis presence in the turbulent sea. He calls to us in the songs of the birds. We can stand up in the midst of the glories of nature in sky and earth and say: “ I have felt him in my hearts.” But that is not at all. God becomes most real when the darkness of disaster most real when the darkness of dis aster comes.' Down in the bomb shelter, up in tbe air planes, in the firing line, in the submarine, in blasted farm hones, i n devested cities, among marching refugees, he comes, never weary, always solici tous for our welfare. Here is where his children are feeling him now most realistically. ''I need him. I feel him, I love him.” The whole race is beginning to appreciate him more than ever. Listen to Browning again in Para celsus: “ God! Thou art love! I build my faith on that.” Surely we who pray to him day by dav love him with an unchanging love. I wonder if we cannot say with Simon Peter: “Thou knowest all things “Thou knowest that I love thee.” We pray because we love him more because we pray. Is Browning right when he says “I need him, I feel him, I love him?” We pray because we need him and feel him and love him. Wherefore let us pray and keep on praying. My Notioos John Wesley Clay, in Winston Salem Jonrnal A m aiiw as p u tto p u t to death a few days.ago in the gas chamber at Raleigh. He said it was liquor that had brought death and disgrace upon him. A man murdered a young woman on a train in California a few days ago. He said be had been to a drinking party and had imbided seventeed drinks a short while before be com mitted the murder. A young student - has just been sentenced for an undetermined term to a state reformatory for a very serious offense. He said that be had been with a bunch of other school boys and girls in certain of our “drug stores” and other drink ing places and had any number of beers and other intoxicating bever ages. There you are. Disgrace, and sor row. and misery, are th e dregs found in the “cup.” W ecanunderstandhow an ignor ant person, or a young person with out experience, might be deceived by strong drink, but the thing that puzzles us is bow intelligent busi nessmen can deal out this treacher ous poison and then be able to sleep a t night.

At this registration, everyone who can show that he has war ration book number one, the coupon sheet for sugar and coffee, will beentitled to receive war ration book number two. which wilt be used both for canned goods beganning March I and will also be used about a, month later for meat rationing. Before getting tbe new ration book, however, each family will have to declare how many cans the fami Iy had. on hand on February 21.

The Difference In yestervear. wben this nation was in the making, and when tbe wilder ness that were to be transformed in to fields for food and other produc tion. the pioneers, fighting to make this possible subscribed the theory that “the only good Indian was a dead Indian.” There-was just en ough truth in that to make the theory stick, and maybe msny a red- akin bit the dust who later may have justified his continued existence with worthwhile contributions to the so- cienty that was established. Today as another peace time ap proaches men are asking each other whether a dead German is the only good German? The issue is not as bald as that perhaps, bnt it is tbe es sence of the discussion in forums where one goes to find the line of de marcation between the German peo ple and tbe Nazi leaders they have selected to rale over them The other day Quentin Reynolns, a newspaper correspondent who has had abundant opportunity to study German political history, declared that Germans are afflicted with a mental disease that can’t be cured, Theymust be killed by thousands, he said to keep our. county from be ing infected. And further: *We must go to the peace table with hatred in our hearts. Hatred is a good healthy emotion. To beat Germany permanently, we must hate Germanv the way a Preacher hates sin; hate Germany tbe way a Preach er bates 8in;-hate Germany the way a housewife bates filth and vermin in her kitchen.” That is an extreme viewpoint, but somewhere between it' and the cod dling, fawning purpose some of our planners hold, [theye should be found a reasonable, i f not happy, meeting ground. If peace is to endure the victor nations must not again shed their responsibility when they point to the dotted line. And it is not necessary to kill to the utmost in order to assure that there will not be an immediate re vival of the war spirit that has smoldered in Germany for centuries. We know now that there am godd Indians, but oniy after the white man bad taken the time and trouble to police and educate him into civili zation’s ways That can be done to the Germans, but it will require patience and the process will be costly, though less costlv than war Maybe if, as Quen. tin Reynolds says, we go to tbe peace table with hatred in our hearts, it will steel us to the purpose of mea suring up to our responsibity.—Stat esville Daily.

"VJ EW YORK.—Having shown how ' to draft the weather for the duration of this biggest war, P. N. Reichelderfer is.tejjdered a nice He Holds Weatiitir ^nnu- As Im portant as al dinner in Terrain in War New Y” kthe Institute of Aeronautical Sciences handed him the Losey Sword for outstand ing contributions to the science of meteorology. Weather is war’s most uncer tain factor. Not even the great captains from Belisarius on to Stonewall Jackson (and Timo shenko) could win if it blew too hard against them. And it is the belief of Reichelderfer that tac ticians take it too little into ac count. Chief, now, of the United States weather bureau, he would have a weather forecaster with every naval and military unit on its own. There aren’t enough military forecasters for fids, yet, but Reichelderfer is button holing all the generals and ad mirals. Forty-seven years old, the bureau chief is sharp-nosed, lean, baldisb and square-chinned. By the time he had a science degree from North western university he was sure weather was his dish, and he did extra studying in Norway. The navy got him in 1918 and for 20 years he was about its most weatherwise of ficer . . . aviator, aerologist and finally commander. He spent a lot of time at the naval air station in Lakehurst, N. J., until he quit the service for the bureau. He is married and has a son. After years of wisecracks from dis appointed picnickers he understands the risks of prophecy. “I doubt,” he said a while back, “if many know how brave the weather fore caster is who steps up to a survey map and makes a forecast for to morrow.” When the fate of a battle hangs on the forecast you can bet your bottom dollar he is brave. ♦----- THERE is a little (well, not too big!) smoke-filled (sometimes) room off the senate chamber in Washington where politicians are LawmakersCheek this* year *as Shooting Irons at they have Col. Halsejfs Door theJe. te* past. So far, however, no one has charged against it the sinister schemes layed to the traditional smoke-filled little room where politicians gather. It is the office of Col. Edwin A. Halsey, just confirmed as secretary of the sen ate for his tenth term. A senate secretary is supposed to tote up the senate’s bills and see that they are paid, even to the bill for the polish put on the vice presi dent’s official automobile. He is supposed also to disburse salaries, supervise the printing of Iegisj lative bills and keep all records. Colonel Halsey does these things but he also serves as a suave broad-shouldered steering ' committee of one for new members and as a friendly confident for new and old. He worked np to his present job from a bot tom start. A page boy in 1897 when a senator-uncle beckoned Him off a Virginia farm, he was a master of pages and an as sistant sergeant-of-arms before reaching his present pleasant singularity. Report has it that very neat inter party shennanigans are figured out in the colonel’s office for it is a neutral groulid on which Democrals and Republicans meet unarmed. About this, however, no outsider can say for sure because matters dis cussed there are not tipped off else where. Except, perhaps, some in nocent bit of senate history. The secretary carried a vast store of that between his ears. And, of course, the secretary’s golf score. Like any golfer, he will talk of that till kingdom come.

Arnold No. I Airman By Corey Ford Get Yonr War Bonds ★ ★ To Help Ax the Aids (W NU Feature—Tbrougb special ,rrang.ineal with Cottier's Weekly) Gen. H. H. Arnold, chief of the army air force, doesn’t believe in the impossible. He defines the impos sible, roughly, as something that hasn’t been done yet. That’s why he’s' not dismayed by his current job of creating overnight the great est air force in the world: 125,000 planes this year, a hundred thousand pilots annually—an air force with ain estimated total of 2,000,000 men. He isn’t sure himself how many men and planes will be needed before the show is over. There’s no precedent to guide him; even 2,000,000 may not be enough., But he’s sure of one thing:' It can be done, no matter how big the job. It may be impos sible, but it’s going to be done. He takes his accustomed place in the front left-hand seat of the con verted passenger plane as the expert fingers of Major Douglas takes off on the next leg of his rapid-fire swing. We flop into the seat oppo site him, in considerable relief, and loosen our collars. This business of spending an average day with the general, we are beginning to find, constitutes a man-sized workout. Off to an Early Start. We were up at five-thirty this morning, and still he was ready long before we were. He’s inspected half a dozen factories and airfields and training centers so far today.You glance across the aisle at him now—restless, alert, checking the schedule, calling notes over his shoulder to his aide (ten days later he’ll recall every last word he said and ask if the job has been done), going over a sheaf of papers, peering down through the window at a half- finished staging field, glancing around to make sure that everyone else in the cabin is comfortable. His Face, silhouetted against the light, is smooth-cheeked, ruddy and as al ways, grinning. There’s a white vertical scar on his chin; he got it in 1912, flying from Salem, Mass., down to Bridgeport when he made a crash landing in the water. Winner of First Mackay Trophy. His story is virtually the history .of military aviation in this country. He won the first Mackay Trophy ever given, in 1912, by flying a Wright biplane’ around a' 30-mile course at the breathtaking speed of 43 miles an hour. The same year, he estab lished an altitude record of 6,540 feet. Later in that crowded year, he carried the first air mail ever flown in the United States, a sensa tional five-mile hop from Nassau Boulevard airdrome in Long Island all the way to Hempstead. He was likewise the first to mount guns and wireless on planes; he pio neered air reconnaissance; inaugu rated the initial forest air patrol; was the army’s first aerial engineer. In 1934, he won the Mackay Trophy a second time—a record in itself—by leading a flight of ten Martin bomb ers from. Washington, D. C., to Alaska, proving his frieiid Gen. Billy Mitchell’s oft-asserted contention that the United States was within easy bombing range of Alaska. First, last and always, he’s a fly ing generaL He guides a ship with a veteran hand, and you recall the wording of his most recent citation, when he was awarded the Distin guished Service Medal for flying the Pacific from Brisbane to San Fran cisco in the record-shattering time of 35 hours and 53 minutes: “As commanding general of the army air forces, he has given a conspicuous demonstration of lead ership, the strategic mobility of long- range army aircraft, and the ability of the high air commander to main tain intimate contact with his units in Uie field.”He lives every job himself. He knows first hand the feelings and re actions of every pilot, every officer, every cadet, every enlisted man in the ground crew. He worked his own way up, a step at a time, and he hasn’t forgotten a single lesson. That’s why the safety of the young sters in his command is more im portant to him than anything else in the world. That’s why he has re fused to build planes that might gain a few hundred extra feet of alti tude, at the sacrifice of essential armament, or leakproof gasoline tanks or other safety devices. He’s proud of the fact Uiat the acci dent rate in our army air forces is so low today; and he intends to keep it that way. His grin hasn’t faltered, for all that he’s faced with the toughest job in history. Creating overnight the bestest and mostest and fustest air force in the world—buying days with dollars, as he says—is a big job; it takes a big conception. It takes vision. Luckily he has that. AU the incredible feats you see taking place today on a thousand scattered air fields didn’t happen without a lot of preparation; don’t fool yourself. Serve Shrimp Casserole, Save Meat (See R ecipes Below) Warm Welcome! These are days when famUies are divided and diminished, and there comes the urge to say to Uie neigh bor, come take “pot-luck” supper with us. Thus, your neighbor win bring over some salad and muffins and herself and the youngster, you can make a main dish and dessert, and have company with it besides! It’s heart-warming to visit, too, and have someone to help with the meal if your once-big family is somewhat reduced. Most people wel come a visit now and then with just one of the ordinary meals—and pot- luck is the perfect answer. Your first must-not with pot-luck is do not fuss. Just get together on who is to bring what—and have what, you ordinarily would have. Your plans need not be made with cam- paign-like precision, simply do it on the spur of the moment, since this makes for spontaneity. Let’s take it easy on meat with some grand casserole dishes—includ ing this on shrimp and crabmeat with a crisp, com-flake crust: “Baked Shrimp Salad.

That’s why I’m passing on these thoughts - of what-to-do: Use cooked meat or fish sea soned and moistened with cream in between the omelet. Vegeta bles, put through a sieve mois tened with cream, butter or gra vy are good, too. Stewed tomatoes go together with scrambled eggs.

Lesson for February 21 Lesson subject* and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by , International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD LESSON TEXT--John 10:1-16. 27-30. GOLDEN TEXT—“I am Uie good shepherd: the good shepherd glveth his life, for the sheep."—John 10:11. Beautiful and meaningful as they are, none of the other figures or types of our Lord’s redemptive work have a stronger appeal than that of the good shepherd. Even those who have never tended sheep nor yet seen them under the shepherd’s care sense the telling aptness of the alle gory of the Good Shepherd. We know how much we are like sheep needing the tender shepheid’s care, and we soon learn to know and to trust Christ as the True Shepherd of the flock.The center of the picture is the Good Shepherd, and it is around Him that we group our thoughts. I. He Knows His Sheep (w . 1-5). At night, whenever possible, the sheep were brought into'a fold, a walled-in enclosure with shelters and with a single gate. Many different flocks were kept together under the care of an undershepherd. In the morning the shepherds came to lead forth the flock. They came by the door, not as the thieves of the night, who sought to come in by stealth over the wall. When the shepherd called, his own sheep responded. We are told that they would not come at the call of a stranger—not being ready to trust him-The application is obvious, and yet a word is in order. We ought to examine ourselves and see wheth er we do indeed know our. Lord's voice. Do we respond when He calls us? Then, too, let us be on the. ’lookout against those who profess to be shepherds, who call them selves “pastor” or “reverend,” and have only one purpose—to despoil the sheep. They are" “thieves and robbers”—Jesus said so. They are only interested as long as it pays. The true shepherd cares for his sheep. H. He Protects His Sheep (w . 6-15). Not only thieves, but wild animals would attack sheep, and it is said that often the shepherd died to pro tect them from harm. But the hire ling, serving for what he can get out of it, is not interested any longer. When danger appears, he flees. He has not the real shepherd heart and cares not if the sheep be destroyed. Having stolen them to enrich him self, he will not defend them at the cost of his own life. Note the sharp contrast of “I am the good shepherd” with the dark picture of the faithless hirelings. Not only does it magnify His goodness, but it deepens the blackness of their treachery. We should recall that the Good Shepherd is able to protect His sheep; for while He lays down His life for them, He takes it again In victory over sin and death (see w . 17, 18). The Saviour seemed to have been defeated at Calvary,' but He arose again, and ever liveth to make intercession on our behalf (Heb. 7:25). HI. He Seeks Other Sheep (v. 16). The other sheep Jesus had in mind were probably the Gentiles. The believers He then had were Jews, but the day was to come when the Gentiles were to hear and believe. His desire for them may well stir in our hearts an eagerness to go out and bring in all—both Jew and Gen tile—who will, by believing in Christ, become members of His one fold. Note the word “must” in verse 16. It does not say “if convenient,” nor “when we can raise enough money,” nor “after our local debts are paid” we will go out and seek others. There is a divine imperative here— it “must” be done. Let us not fail to gather the full significance of the expression “one flock, one shepherd.” We are not in terested in any manufactured'unity of man-made organizations. Certain ly we will not accept union which means compromise of essential truth. But unity under Christ, the one great Shepherd, that we want— yes and will have. He makes that certain—“they shall be one flock.” Let us not put hindrances in the way of that kind of unity, and let us not be delinquent about seeking the “other sheep.” Now a final word. IV. He Keeps AU His Sheep (w . 27-30).These words (said after a period of weeks had elapsed) stress the blessed assurance which comes to those who follow Christ. Jesus re buked the Jews for their unbelief, telling them that they were not His sheep, ; Those who are His have been, giv en to Him by the Father—an eternal gift to Him—and He gives to them eternal life. , The power back of this whole mat ter is evident in verse 30. Christ is God! He who is in Christ’s hand is also in the Father’s hand; “and: no man is able to pluck them out: of the Father’s hand.” Instead of: trying to modify that statement, or:, to quarrel with those who believe-it; every Christian ought to accept 'it and shout “Hallelujah!” CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT MISCELLANEOUS Short Method Gardening.

The Democratic representative from Iredell county has introduced a bill In the North Carolina legis Iatnre to extend the term of office for the Iredell county commissioners to four years, instead of two years, the time they were elected to serve. Once upon a time a Democrat from Davie county was elected to the North Carolina legislature. This Democrat went to Raleigh and had a bill passed giving the three De mocratic county commissioners in Davie countv the ofhce for four years instead of the two vears that the voters elected them to serve. That Democrat never went to Ra leigh again as an office-holder. We don’t care to put iu print what we think of such tactics. It is on oar with some of the methods nsed in the recent election in North Ca rolina. Fifty Years Ago Today. Fifty years ago today, on Feb. 17, 1893 the editor of The Recoro went to work as a printer's “devil” in the office of The Hickory Mer- curv, at Hickory. N. C J. F. Chrk a native ot Davie county, was editor and owner ot The Mer cury. F o r the past 50 vears, with the exception of a few weeks work ing in a box factory, we have been a ' a type case or office desk Many changes have taken place in the past 50 years. In 1893 all tvpe that went to make a newspaper was set by band; most presses were run by hand power a^d editors got tbeir news the best way they could. There were no teletype machines, and the news came in over the grapevine route, with the most im portant news coming in telegrams that were delivered bv messenger boys. There were but few telfphones in those days. We worked for six months as office “devil” fur which w- receive but 25 cents. The next six months brought us $2 6 . During our second year in a print shop we drew the fabulous salary of $2 per week Out of this sura we - saved enough monev to purchase one suit of clothes at a cost ot $3.2 5 ; one pair shoes, $1.2 5; and one bat for 50 cents. We were all dressed up • -with nowhere to go Theve were no automobiles in those days and but few trains. There were liverv stables, with horses and buggies for hire but the price was probbiitive so far as printers were concerned It took a week’s pav to hire a horse and buggv for one day, and the roads wire so rough that there was no joy in driving over them. There are but few ot onr old printer friends yet alive that work ed with ns during the eatly nine ties. So far as we know only four are left, viz: Majot J. Lee Latta, Iiving inH ickory; John F. Setzer in the printing business at Lincoln- ton; John Wesley Clay, owner of the Clay Printing Co., Winston- Salem, and Georige Shet rill, re tired printer who lives in Hickory. It is a far cry fro.11 1893 to 1943. Many changes have taken place— some better, some worse. We l.ave much to be thankful for. We feel that we have at least helped to make the world a little better by having passed this way. Our paper his always stood for the be'ter things of life. We have, worked for be’ter scbools, better roads, better homes and better men and women to carry on the world to a higher and nobler plane. Thousands of dollars ht-ve been do nated in advertising Io help the churches, the schools and all worthy causes. We have tried to print a decent, self-respecting newspaper— a paper free of yellow journalism, scarey headlines; llqnor, beer and wine advertisements and neighbor, hood scandals.

Other sinister figures are the company chemist. Dr. Toenjes, and the flyers, Ryden and Lannestoeb. A man named Collins arrives from the Ca- nal Zone to see Mitchell. A talh with Jerry McInnis discloses that Montaya to dealing with the Nazis. CoUlns reveals his Identity as a U. S. naval intelligence officer. He and Jeff have just discov. ered a hidden German plane—a HetnXel bomber. NOW CONTINUE WITH THE SIORT CHAPTER XVH “It’s a Heinkel!” Collins repeated. “Look at the rounded slant-back wings, that tail assembly, the shape of the body. It uses inverted-V en gines for smoother streamlining—” But Curt couldn’t stand there star ing all night. He swung the beam of light about and immediately the plane was swallowed in blackness. Quickly the men went over the big building—one building, they found, now they were inside. Curt knew the two hangars at the other end of the field were separate buildings, the shed-roof chemical space be tween being walled off on either side. Along the entire front of these three joined buildings were thin stacks of lumber piled to present the picture Curt had got through field glasses a few days ago, of stacks of pipe, or piles of boxes and crates. With doors open it would look like a solidly packed ware house. Actually, all materials could be pulled down quickly. The big plane they first came upon appeared to be ready for flight. In the other hangar was a second plane not yet fully assembled. The motors and propellors were missing, but Curt found the engines quickly. The two square boxes he’d seen pass through Cabezia only that morn ing, the boxes stenciled “Genera tors,” had been knocked apart, and the two motors for this plane stood revealed on the floor ready to be hoisted into position. “What’d I tell you!” growled Curt; "As soon as I got the low-down on Montaya tonight all the pieces be gan to slide in together and I knew this was the- answer. But man alive, in spite of my eyes, it’s hard to be lieve! Such a long shot ranks with sulc.ide!” “There you have it!” Collins’ voice was bitter. It had risen, but the slapping echoes brought it down again. “A surprise attack! The Ca nal has the best defense possible, and it’s being constantly improved and extended. But protection for the Canal depends on sufficient warning to get planes into the air, to get anti-aircraft ground units into action.” "And these planes, coming over land, from unsuspected, close-in neu tral territory—” “Why, man, they’d be over the Canal before effective resistance could be organized. Why, some of our. advance air bases and listening posts are farther out from the Canal than this.” A long silence followed, finally broken by Curt’s sour, “Yeh, but we haven’t got all night. There’s something else to locate. Mitchell’s cheap Jap ’pump machinery’—those boxes like oversize coffins.” Collins pointed briefly in the beam of light, and Curt swung it from one end to the other of a bulkhead which rose to the height of the win dow stripping along the back of the central section, the machine shop. In front of the wall was a heavy work-bench on which lay in orderly precision small parts, tools, instru ment panels, evidently intended for the unassembled plane. At one end was a door. They found it pad locked. “Nothing we can do about that,” muttered Curt. He cast about for something to climb on, found a stool which he placed on the bench. Standing on this he peered over the top of the boarding. “Roofed,” he said. He pulled the chisel from his pocket and pried about to find a plank looser than the others. When he found a board he could force up and had cast his beam of light inside the bulkhead, his body stiffened, not a muscle moved. At last he climbed down silently, handed over his flashlight to Col lins, motioned the other up. Stacked inside the long storage room, securely braced on heavy timbers, was a single row of eight streamlined aerial bombs, each the height of a man. On the shelf above them was a neat row of eight nose fuses and eight tail fuses ready to be screwed into place. “All right, we’ve found out what we wanted to know,” growled Curt, and amended himself, “to know for sure. Let’s get out of here. It’ll take time to get back to Tempujo.” He replaced the stool exactly as he’d found it. Under the trees again, they forced back'the panel of corru gated sheeting, bent nails sufficient ly, to hold it down—and prayed their entry wouldn’t be discovered. While Collhis climbed into his clothes again, beyond the fence, swearing mildly over soma tick* he’d picked up, Curt filled In thejiole, covered the ground with the brush and rub bish which had blown against the wire. En route they worked out the angles. Curt said, “You’re on assignment, Collins. What are your orders? I paean, now you’ve got what you came for, what do your books'of reg ulations tell you to do?” Collins gave a short “Ha!” Then, weighing his words carefully, “Of course, there’s a certain amount of red tape necessary in any line of work. Reports and so forth. On the other hand, an operative is frequent ly obliged to use his own discretion—” This was enough for Curt. “Okay. Thought you’d come through. Now then, no secret is ever safe for long. Something’s bound to give it away sooner or later, if only the flicker of an eye. And we’re in the hands of a mighty suspicious crew. They’ve got a lot at stake. “So we’ll have to work fast. Here’s my idea. If you have a better one, spill it and we’ll rag it out. First, I have to think of my family. They’re hostages, pure and simple. Well, tonight when I saw McInnis I laid the groundwork for getting in. “They’d never get close enough » second time.” them to Soledad. Since I’m cer tain these people don’t yet actually suspect I know anything, it ought to work. “Once they’re safe, a report to authorities would. no doubt turn the trick, but it would embarrass the Tierra Libre government and today every effort’s turned toward good relations. “Besides, I want to see the mur derers brought to justice. Regard less of who actually did the jobs, we know who’s responsible, who’s behind them, but it could never be proved in a court of law. They’d go scot free. So, there’s only one thing to do. How much 'do you know about those bombs?” Collins hesitated, but only for a moment. “I’ve had some training in Ameri can types,” he admitted. “I expect the principle of these is pretty much the same. Anyway, there’s no help for it. We can’t send for an expert. I’ll have to chance it.” “Good! Now for some details.” They talked, planned, argued this point and that, the full trip. It was after four when they reached Tem pujo, pushing the car into the yards from a long distance outside, and Curt hooked up the speedometer again. There was movement at the wood pile in back of the mess-hall. Smoke rose from the stove-pipe of the lean- to kitchen. “Man!” muttered Collins, “what I’d give for a good cup of coffee!” “Forget it,” said Curt. “You’ve got to look your worst for Mon taya. He’s a pretty slick hombre. Gb without breakfast, don’t shave, and don’t sleep. 'T hat worked on me.” They approached Curt’s bungalow cautiously, found Monahan on the job. •“Nary a soul been around,” the man, said. “Good. Slats, we’ve got a job oh our hands. Bad job. Want in?” “Hey! Why’d you suppose I squatted here all night without an argu ment?” Curt chuckled. In the lee of the hibiscus hedge he told Monahan who Collins was, why he was here, what the two of them had just found.“Jerry, Collins and I will have our work cut out for us, but a good deal depends on you, Slats. Your job will be to make your way up through San Alejo to the radio sta tion above, get the drop one.way or another on Whoever1S stationed .there, and smash the,.sending ap paratus beyond easy repair. This will cover our escape but leaves you holding the bag.” Curt’s tone was a little disturbed. “Only way of your getting out is over the Quebrados and across the Negro into Associat ed territory.” “Don’t worry about me. I can make it.” “Good. This leaves one thing. We want to see the murderers of Mitch and Zora and Bill get what’s com ing to them.” “Yeh.” Monahan spat. “Well, we haven’t figured out a synchronization to take care of all the ringleaders. AU we can plan on are Ryden and Lannestock. If we can get them to the lower end of the field we’U be halfway satis fied. Now, the hangar entrances are bound to be wired for alarm, but we can’t be certain there’s no break in the circuit since whenever they last tested it. “So we plan to fire the grass. Those two babies will be so con cerned for the safety of the hangars it should bring them on the double. But it’U be midnight, they’U be abed, we can’t even be certain they’ll have a guard to raise an alarm. 'A t one o’clock straight up you telephone the field—” “Yeh, got your point. Can do.” “And we need some explosives. Dynamite, powder.” “Easy. I can get that.” “Well, then, that’s the best we’ve worked out so far. See if you can think up anything. Meanwhile, good luck.” Montaya had said he’d be at Tem pujo early on Sunday. Early for him must have meant ten o’clock. He was headed for Cabeza. Curt wondered why, then remembered that the Keito Maru, in port yester day, was pulling out today. With German shipping chased from the seas, with the British blockade pretty effective in the At lantic, contact with Berlin had to make a detour. A long one. Montaya had his black brief case with him and never let it leave his hands. Reports, decided Curt, and probably pictures of the assembled plane. Even gangsters want some kind of proof for the money they pay out. The senor talked with Collins on the river docks, and Collins, whfle seemingly as slick and neat as he could make himself—except for not having shaved—put on a good show as a tramp. Montaya looked him over coldly, asked him a good many questions, especially about the Rosario mines from which the man was supposed to have come recently. This roused apprehension in Curt, but Collins had schooled himself well before crossing the river. He knew the answers. In the end Montaya was satis fied and Curt nodded dismissal to the man, saying shortly, “I’ll be sending the launch up river at day break. Be on it. And keep away from the bar. One drink and you’re out-on your ear!” Collins slunk away.' Montaya was using the launch for his trip to Cabeza today. Curt de scended to the floating stage to see him off. And here the first step in his plans nearly misfired. Setting out from Riverbend was a small skiff. Though Montaya was pa tiently anxious to be on his way, Curt had to keep him talking long enough for that skiff to reach the Tempujo shore. True, there was plenty to say, but it wasn’t essential at the .moment, with Montaya in a hurry, and it be gan to sound a trifle hollow when at last the little boat from Riverbend bumped the stage and out climbed a native with a letter for Curt. Montaya’s eyes narrowed. No longer was he in such impatience to get started. Curt ripped open the envelope, read the note. A grin split his face from ear to ear. “From friends in Soledad,” he ex plained. “Mclnnis, their Chief En gineer, invites me and my family over for an anniversary dinner to night. Of course, I’d like to go, but I can’t. I can’t even spend the day at San Alejo. But I can send the car for my wife and the children—” “Mr. Curtis!” Montaya’s voice was frigid. “You’ve contracted to remain on the concession for the term of your contract.” Curt blinked, stared, “Hunh?” he said. “Your contract, Mr. Curtis, binds you and your family to remain here.”“What do you mean? My contract binds my family to residence here with me, yes, but a visit to. Sole- dad isn’t breaking residence. And anyway,” Curt began to show an ger, “I 'won’t have my. wife cooped up, unable to see her friends who are so near. I don’t care so much- for myself, I have enough to keep me busy without a social life. Witti my wife it’s different.” He drew a deep breath and rushed on. “What are you afraid of? That I’ll spill your secret formula? I don’t ever) know it! That I’ll lose time from the job? I shan’t be go ing. But get this, Senor Montaya, and like it or not, I’m either send ing my family to Soledad today to visit our friends there or I walk off this job right now, contract or no contract. And let’s see you stop me!” The knuckles of Curt’s fist, clench ing his pipe, were white as Curt jabbed home his words. The act worked. Montaya bit his . lid glanced at his WTist watch.

CELLULOID AROUND SWITCH ' PLATES WILL PROTECT WALLPAPER ONE of the little things that wor ries a careful housekeeper is the soiling of wallpaper around switch-plates. Fumbling fingers in the dark may ieave marks that can not easily be erased. This situa tion can be made easier through the use of a sheet of thin transparent celluloid, or of heavy cellophane. The switch-plate is taken off, which can be easily done by releasing the screws that show in the face. Usu ally there are two, but for plates that combine two switches, or a switch and an outlet there may be four. The switch-plate is laid on the sheet of transparent material, and a piece cut out an inch or two larger, all around. The inside is also cut out to a size smaller than the switch- plate, so that when the plate is re turned to position, the inner edge will be nipped, and the entire sheet pressed against the wall. Being transparent, the wallpaper pattern will show through, and the addition will hardly be noticed. Even greasy and perspiring fingers will leave no traces, or if they do, they can easily be wiped out with a damp cloth. Peeling Paint on Bathroom Walls Question: The paint on our bath room walls is peeling badly; we should like to repaint but are afraid that the same thing might happen again. The worst spot is around the sink, where water splashes on the walls. Answer: Ordinary flat paint should not be used in bathroom or kitchen. For the best modem ef fect, finish your bathroom walls at least halfway up with wall linoleum or with tile. For the rest of the wall you can use wall cloth, which is waterproof and comes in hand some designs. Another choice would be glossy enamel. If you cannot u& linoleum or tile, wall cloth or enamel can be used for all the wall, except around the shower. There the plaster of the walls should have a waterproof covering; wall cloth will serve in this instance. Wallpaper Patch Wallpaper of the same pattern can be used to cover a marred place on a papered wall. The paper should not be cut, for the edges would show up in a strong light. The paper should be tom from the back, which will give the front sur face a feathery edge that will not be conspicuous. Library paste, somewhat thinned with water, can be used, or regular wallpaper paste. Spread this liberally on the back of the patch, place the patch on the wall and slide it around 'to fit in with the pattern on the wall. Then brush from the center toward the edges, pressing closely to squeeze out excess - paste and air bubbles. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe off any paste that oozes out. Ink on Wallpaper Question:-How can ink be re moved from yellow wallpaper? Answer: Try ink' . eradicator, which can be obtained at a station ery or drugstore. This, however, will bleach out the color of the pa per, but you may be able to touch up the marred , area with water col ors from a child’s paint box. If the paper has-a pattern, this should not be difficult to do. If the yellow is a plain color, a marked area prob ably will remain. You either can bang a picture or square of tapestry over it, or get your paper hanger to make a neat patch of matching paper; or you can do it yourself. Damp Bedroom Question: The room where my two children sleep has no cellar un der it and the ’floor always is damp. What can we do? Answer: If there is enough space underneath for a workman to crawl, you could have blanket insulation at least two inches thick, enclosed in . waterproof paper, nailed between the floor joists. Before installing the insulation, coat the underside of the floor and beams with a liquid tar or asphalt. Linoleum on Tile Question: We have a w,hite tile floor in our bathroom but would like linoleum instead. Must the tile be taken out; or can the linoleum be put over it?' Answer: The tile will not have to be removed, but if there are any irregularities, in the surface your linoleum contractor - will have to level off the high spots first; other wise, there will be excessive wear at these points. Painting Metal Lamps Question: The finishes on my two lamps, one brass and one bronze, are stained and peeling. I should like to paint them ivory. What should I do? Answer: Remove all traces of lac quer from the lamps by wiping with lacquer thinner or acetone. (This is inflammable, so be careful of fire.) Rub the metal with steel wool, then wipe with turpentine. Apply a coat of enamel undercoat or flat wall paint, and then finish the job with a very good quality, quick-drying enamel. SEWING CIRCLE 1743-B^ Yoeng Belle.

FEBRUARY 17. 1943 M m i “Sausages for breakfast! Sau sages for breakfast! I can smell ’em!” Small Joe came tumbling downstairs fastening the belt of his shorts as he came. He made a bee line for the kitchen. Pop was already sitting at the table, reading the paper, while Mom held the han dle of the frying-pan over the stove. Small Joe came close and sniffed the delicious smoke, wriggling all over with early-morning joy.'“Better be thankful for them while you can still get them." One glance at Mom's face told small Joe this was one of her tight-lipped days. "Not a drop of coffee in the house, and no sugar ieft to put in it if there was. Some war!” Small Joe kept still.“letter for you, son,” Pop said In his quiet voice. Small Joe made a leap for his place at table. There it was, a private personal letter for him alone, propped against his milk glass.“Hey, Pop! It’s from brother!” Small Joe was pulling the envelope apart and diving into the contents. “Hey, look what he sent me." He passed over an oblong of thick, crinkly cap er while he leaned over the sheet of writing-paper."A twenty-five dollar War Bond,” Pop said slowly. Mom turned and looked at it over Pop’s shoulder, with the frying-pan in her hand.“Listen what he says. 'How are you doing, kid? Hurry and grow up so you can help me slap the Japs. Aren’t you most big enough to get into die Army? Here’s something tor you in your name. Let’s the whole family gang up and help to win this war.’ _Pop and Mom were silent. But small Joe didn’t notice that. He was full of his letter and his War Bond.“Gee, Pop, m six years I could get into the Army, couldn’t I, Pop? Gee, Pop, I want to be a soldier like brother and fight in this war. Gee, isn’t that bond nifty? Look, it was issued in Honolulu. It’s mine.’But Pop was looking at Mom and Mom was looking at Pop. There were tears in Mom’s eyes. She shook her head sharply. Pop reached out and patted ner hand *e“We‘ll, can>t'let our soldier boy beat us to buying War Bonds, can we, old lady?’’ was all he said.Sie shook her head again. “I guess if he can give up his job and . . . and go off to war I can do some fighting back at home,” she said In a queer voice. Small Joe looked up at her in surprise. She saw him looking at her and spoke sharply. “Well, Joe. We’re about ready to eat. Say grace.” •Small Joe folded his hands and bent his head as he had been taught.“Oh Lord, we thank thee for this food and all thy bountiful gifts . . “Amen,” Pop said.“Amen,” Mom said.

What I myself saw in my four years in Europe gave me a new realization. of the priceless rights which we here enjoy. No secret police can in the night whisk us away, never again to be seen by those we love. None of us can be deprived by any party, state or tyrant of those precious civil Dberties which our laws and our courts guarantee. None of us can be persecuted for practicing the'faith which we found at our mother's knee. None of us can be persecuted, tor tured or killed because of the fact that an accident of fate might have made us of the same race as the Nazarene. No American can be placed by any party or government in a regi mented vise which takes from him or her either freedom of economic opportunity or political religious lib erty. What would the millions of unfor tunate men, women and children in Europe give to be able to Dve and enjoy such a way of life?

ASHINGTON, D. C.—In de- scribing one of the big -air battles over Guadalcanal a recent newspaper account tells of an Amer ican flyer who parachuted from his crippled plane to the waters of Lunga Bay: The Navy craft which picked him up next w ait to the res cue of a Japanese pilot seen strug gling in the water nearby. As the rescue boat reached the Japanese flyer he suddenly pulled out his re volver, aimed it at the drenched American pilot and pulled the trig ger. The cartridge failed to explode. Then the Japanese officer turned the gun on himself with suicidal intent. Again he' puDed the trigger and again his revolver failed him. At this point an American sailor knocked him out with a boat hook and puHed him aboard the Ameri can craft a prisoner. Almost daily one reads eye-wit ness stories such as this one, and all of them clearly demonstrate that war with our enemy in the Pacific cannot end in compromise. For ten years I Dved in Japan. The truth as I know it- from close observation is this: Nothiiig less than the exertion of our maximum capacities, individually and collec tively, in a war of offense will bring our beloved country' safety to the longed-for haven of victorious peace. The Japanese are pawns' of a senseless but mighty militarism—a warrior caste which is ruthless and cruel beyond comprehension. JOSEPH C. GREW Sayt Ift Fight to Finith From the flood of eye witness ac counts of atrocity and bestiality one fact shines clear. , We must utterly crush that machine and caste and system., If, however, we Americans think that collectively and individu ally we can continue to lead our nor mal Dves, leaving the spirit of self- sacrifice to our soldiers and sailors, we shall unquestionably run the risk of a stalemate with Japan. I do not have the slightest doubt of our even tual victory. But I do not wish to see the period of our blood, sweat and tears indefinitely and unneces sarily prolonged. We must not fail to' realize that we are up against a powerful fighting machine, a people whose morale cannot be broken even by successive defeats and untold economic hardship, a people who gladly sacrifice their Dves for their Emperor and their nation. We must also remember that'Japan did not start this war without carefully laid mfiitary plans for victory over the United States and a peace dictated by their war lords at the White House. This is a total war, the only an swer to which is a total American victory. It is a war in which half measures of any kind mean incredi ble waste of material, energy and human life. In this sense a half filled War Savings Stamp album is symboDc of a half effort. There are, I am told, roughly 100 milUon par tially complete War Stamp albums now in circulation..

' It Takes Both, War Bonds and Taxes, to j Win—Victory Tax Special Direct Levy Asked to Help Meet Heavy War Costs WASHINGTON, D. C.—Approximately 50,000,000 American workers began to m ake an added contribution to the War cost this month in the form of a 5% Victory tax. For many millions of Americans the Victory tax and the 1943 income tax are the first direct levies to be made by the Government to meet the staggering War costs. And it will take both... taxes and War bonds . . . to provide the supplies and materials to win the War and the peace afterwards. The Treaswy Department estimates that the Victory tax will raise approximately $2,000,000,000. Every person receiving more than $12 per week must pay the Victory tax upon that part of his income over and above the $12. For example, a mar ried man with a salary of $50 per week, with two dependents, would make only a net payment of $1.06 per week after allowance for prat- war credit The Government has . made every effort to make the impact of the new tax as Dght as possible. The law, in effect, provides that in the case of married persons whose sole income is from wages or salary, 40 percent of the Victory tax paid (up to a maximum of $1,000) plus 2 per cent for each dependent (up to a maximum of $100) may be used as a credit against whatever Federal income taxes the individual may owe at the end of the year—provided be has purchased certain War Bonds, or paid old debts or paid life insur ance premiums equal to the amount at this credit. In the case of single persons this credit will be 25 percent at the Victory tax paid (up to a maximum of $500). Should the Vic tory tax credit exceed the individu al’s Federal income tax, the unused portion of the credit may be refund able to the taxpayer. Even with toe Victory tax, the 1043 income tax, and aD other taxes paid by individuals, toe average American will have more money with which to buy War Bonds than he has ever''had before. Here are the, statistics which explain that statement: In i940 toe total income payments made to toe American people amounted to about.76 billion dollars. In that same year toe total personal taxes paid, Federal, State and local, roughly 2.5 billion dollars, leaving 73.5 billion dollars of dis posable income. During 1943 total income payments are expected to rise to 125 bilDon dollars and total personal taxes under existing reve nue legislation will be 15 billion dol lars—leaving 110 biffion dollars of income at our disposal as against only 73.5 billion dollars in 1940. In 1943 Mr. Average Arperican will stiff be carrying a much !tighter tax load than his Canadian or English brothers-in-arms. Di Great Britain total national and local taxes paid by individuals at present amount to 31 percent of the national income In Canada,- total individual taxes amount to .25 percent- of toe national income. In the United States, total personal taxes, Federal, state and local, will amount in 1943 to 18 per cent of national, income. Our Eng lish allies invest an additional 10 percent of national income in War savings. Our Canadian allies invest an additional 11 percent of national income in War savings. We Ameri cans, to-match the record of our Ca nadian neighbors, would have to in vest this year,20 percent of our na tional income in War savings. To match toe English record we would have to invest 23 percent of national income in War savings.

Walking Witk God A- cross The Tears Rev. Walter E. benhour. Hiddenite. N. C. It is Indeed marvelous and glor ious to walk with God across the years of one's life. Enoch had this experience. And since God is no resnector of persons, we can have the same blessed experience. God may not take us to heaven in a chariot, or catch us up as H e did Enoch, yet He will take care of us according to his plan and will when we come to the end of life’s journ ev. The man who walks with God across the years of his life can be well assured that Cod will bring him to the glorious goal of eternal bliss, peace and life. It is great to walk with God and have sweet fellowship with Him daily; * One bas the consciousness that he is walking right; that be is spending.his time right; that be is Messing humanity with his life, means and influence, and that he will leave his mark behind to bless the world'when be departs to be with tbe Lord Jesus Christ. To walk with God means that we live In obedience to H is blessed Word; that we live a life of prayer; that we have faith in God; that we have the leadership of the Holy Spirit; that we have a pure heart; that we have the protection of God along life's rugged pathway; that we keep the company of the best people on earth; that we form no bad and ruinous habits that under mine our health and shorten our lives and hurt our influence; that we value our time very highly and give none of it to the devil, but spend It for the salvation of man kind, for his uplift and for the glo- rv of God. Amen. Here is a letter from one- of my readers, Mrs." S. K- H arkrader1 of Dobson, I wish to pass on to you, which reveals (be blessedness of walking with God across the years Sister H arkrader says; " I don’t know yon personally, yet yon feel close to me, as I have read all your sermons published in JheUnion Re publican through the years. I en joy every Iineyou write very much. The Union Republican has been coming to our home since it was started in Winston-Salem. My fath er was very much interested in its ess. I live in Dobson, countv seat of Surry countv. I own and run tbe Kenlin Hotel here. I have three children living. Two live with me, while the other, Miss Lil lian, works for Judge Aayes. I am 83 years old. The Lord bas bless ed me. I have good health and work most of tba time. Bless His holy name. How thankful I am that H e is in the heavens and rules over all! I will soon be with Him. I am a member of the Methodist church. I professed religion when I was 16 years old. O ur present pastor is Rev. J. W. Parker, and a m ighty good man. We all love him .’’ Sister Harkrader, your letter is of great interest to me. and I be, Iieve will be to our thousands of readers. Indeed God bas been good to you. . According to-your state ment you have walked with Him 6 7 years. Praise H is holy name. Of course you have jound that it pays No doubt if you bad w alk ed with the del Instead of God you would not only have wasted vour time aud talent, but' you might have been dead years ago and your precious soul lost forever. Tbank God for your long Christian life. It is very encouraging to me also to realize that my sermons have been of great Interest to vou across the years. Tour offering as a Christ mas gift proves vour appreciation of my. work for tbe Master. Thank vou and thank Him. If tbe Union Republican has been coming into your home Mnee it was started that Food: The Problem Of The Hoor Most people are now realizing that the food situation is fast becoming one of onr great problems yet a National catastrophe can be avoided if the farmers of the natioa will ful ly carry out the program of the Se cretary of Agriculture for the pro duction of 'a greater supply of cer tain food and feed crops than has ever been produced by the farmers' of this nation. In so doing the farm er will be rendering a great National and International service that will lend much weight in bringing the present conflict to a successful end in establishing a more permanent world peace. ( Mr. Farmer, tbe Extension Ser vice through your local County Farm Agent can give valuable insormation and assistance in tbe planning of your production production program to meet the needs in fodd and other crops since he is thoroughly familiar with what crops are most needed and the crops most adaptable to your lands. Tbe Farm Credit Administration on the United States Department of Agriculture is fully co-operating in the program as outlined by the Se cretary of Agriculture through vour County Farm Agent by extending financial assistance to those farmers who might find.themselves in need of same. Loans so obtained are secur ed by a first lien on all crops and bear interest a t the rate of 4 per cent. We are advised by Mr A. S. Clay Field Supervisor of the Emergency Crop & Feed Loan Office of tbe Farm Credit Administration that applica tions for loans for crop production purposes are now being received in Mock- ville, N. C., in the Office of F. R LcagansfromDavieCounty who find themselves in need of financial assistance and who for certain rea sons are unable to obtain such as. sistance and who for certain reasons are unable to obtain such assistance from the local Production Credit As sociation or ,through local financial nBtitutions. Farmers should plan their crop programs now and if in need of any financial assistance should make their arrangements now so that when planting time comes they can devote their full time to their crops and other farming operations.

Not many can say that, It was started long before I was born, as my birthday is February 18, 1889. It does me so much good to hear from the faithful old saidts of God who have walked and communed with Him for a long lifetime. Sotpe sweet day, if you are true and faithful until God is through with you on earth, you shall enter into His glo rious presence to live forever. Won’t that be wondeiful? Please pray for me and my family, and for my thbusands of readers throu- outthenation and the earth. I hope to meet a vast, vast host of them in heaven. However, while journeying through this land I want to help every one I possibly can to live for God, Please help me pray for them daily that they mav be godly, righteous and holy. O that God may lead, guide, shield and protect them, and lead Ihem from victory onto victorv, aqd at last crown them as H is saints in the glory world I Onr humbte and faithfnl walk heavenward with God will pay us for time and eternity millions of times. Hallelujah! little Stingers. Fram The Yellow Jacket When H itler undertook to twist the t il of the British lion, he bit off more than he could cbew. “ God hath made man upright.” But the booze venders have put millions of men in tbe gutter. The average New Deal politicians loves pies almost as good as FDR loves “ lame ducks.” Charles Micbelson must consider the' New Deal is in a hopeless pre dicament as he has given up the job of ballyboolng its virtues. The man wbo attempts to white wash or camouflage the Commun istic symptoms of the New Deal has a difficult job oc bis hands. Men pray for what thev want and Providence makes them sore bv banding them what they ought to have. H itler’s greatest insult to civili zation is bis assumption that bv winning he can win tbe world’s sympathy. They say the New Deal bosses bad to swallow so much of their pride after the November election they got political indigestion. Bnt wait until the 1944 Presidential election—we bet they’ll choke.

Scores of service men are A. W. O L. in Wilkes today There is an argent need to get these men who have “gone over the hill” bade in service as quicklv and easilv as possible. Sheriff C. 6 . Poindexter tells News World the biggest job_of his office as far as criminal work is con cerned is the effort t ■ round up sol- dies who have overstayed their fur loughs or who simply have taken un authorized furloughs. Rev. A C. Waggoner, the president, and Mrs MarthaTayIor, the executive secre tary. of the Wilkes chapter of the A- merican Red Cross, says their office is over-worked with irvestigaions concerning soldiers and sailors A. W. 0 . L. An officer at Fort Jackson. S. C.. told Sheriff Poindexter the other day that hundreds' haVe gone over the hill” at that huge fort and the problem constitutes one of the real headaches of the war department. Perhaps a larger proportion of our moutain men take French leave than those from other sections. The rea son, if that deduction is correct, is that our mountain men are free in dependent. untamed, undisciplined men who in tbe past have led their own free lives as they darn well pleased. Itisdifficnlt for a young moun tain boy of Wilkes, brought up with out strict home discipline, who has roamed the hills at'Will, whose play' makes have been the wild things of the woods, who has hunted and fish ed where and when he pleased with outtoo much attention to game sea sons oe bag limits and who some* tiroes has made himself up a run or two of drinkin’ Iikker if’u he felt like it. to have to submit to stiff dis cipline. We Anglo-Sanons of the mountains resent a two-by fo' top sergeant. a-' barkin’ a't as ail the day long. We work, play, tight, love just about as we please, take it or leave it. We are free, white and twenty-one and we mean to tell'the world that we’ll do as we please, come what may! They ain’t nobody tellin’ us nuthin’. That’s the prevailing attitude of som eof us mountaineers. Bnt we have got to mend our ways. Th’s is war. And war cannot be waged on the basis of the ragged individual. It is a collective, co-operative effort aud all of us have to conform, to submit to regimentation, to obey or ders without questions' Wilkes men are the fightingest men alive. Then let them fight them selves conquer themselves, submit to army discipline, learn to take it. In a few months they’ll have the chance to dish it out to onr Jap and German enemies. There’s nothing yellow about Wilkes men. They are coming home and staying home with out permission simply because thev don’t like army routine. And they do iike Wilkes and Wilkes ways with an inordinate devotion. Oncethev have overstayed their furloughs a day or two, they realize some punishment, just retribution, will be awaiting them so they 'delay further and become fugitives from tbe anthorities Go back, men. and take your medicine today. Get right. Get on the beam. If we don’t win this war, you’ll never enjoy your old freedom again. And if yon become a skniking slacker, hiding in the backwoods like an animal a t bay, yon’ll never be free in your mind or in the eyes of your neighbors. .

Lightning Punctnates A Sermon Liberty Hall, S. C.—Jnst when the preacher began bis sermon in the Methodist Cbnrch here, a light ing bolt struck in tbe rear of the pnloit and knocked him down. He was not able to talk for some time. His song leader also was floored Drinking Children And The Law Watson Kimel. the 16-year.old Winston Salem htgb school boy, facing a serious charge in criminal court here, said he was drunk wnen be committed the offense. In a statement later to a news paper reporter, he declared: “ A majority of high school youths drink intoxicants freely.” These, he said, include students of all ages even 13 and 14 year old freshmen. On the witness stand in Superior Conrt, young Kimel testified that he and one ot his high school friends went to a drug store and drank some beer.•' And a little la ter on the same evening they went to a place on Fourth Street and drank a quart of beer. And still later they went to a hotel and met some friends who gave him a half a gluss of brandy. He said he didn’t remember mncb after that In tbeN orth Carolina Code of 1939, Section 4455 and 4 4 5 6, we 6 nd the following State laws: "If any dealer in intoxicating drinks or liquors sell, or in any man ner part with for a compensation thereof, either directly or indirect ly. or give away such drinks or li quors. to any unmarried person un der the age of twenty-one years, knowing such person to be under the age of twenty-o e years he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; and snch sale or giving away shall be prima facie evidence of such knowledge.” "If any person 6ball give intoxi cating drinks or liquors to any un married minor under tbe age of sev enteen years; or if any person shall aid, assist or abet any other person jn giving such drinks or Iibuors to such minor, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and npnh conviction shall be punished by a fine or impris onment in tbe discretion of the court; Are these laws dead? If not, why ate they not being enforced? If they are dead, then tbe first job for the Legislature now in session, in dealing with this beer and wine problem, is not to create a new of fice of Wine Controller, buc to re surrect these laws.—Winston-Sal- em Journal.

Parloa Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. XJEW YORK.—It used to be that ’ a government nailed down ev erything loose when diplomats Irom friendly states came visiting. That Offer, India Well- Filled Crockery in practiced InternationalBingo ^ ke? tics of MachiaveIli and Richelieu. American diplomats of today are .contrariwise. Nobody nails down anything, against them, because they aren’t taking. Not anything. They’re running a sort of international bingo carnival, and the stuff they hand out adds up to more than a set of dishes. Thus William C. Phillips, one of President Roosevelt’s handy men, sits down in New Delhi to figure out how much food India needs, and'how we can give it in a Iend-Iease deal. Of course he hopes to persuade India to shinny on the Allied side for the duration; but considering the well-filled crockery he is willing to hand out that isn’t much. Mr. Phillips comes from Italy where he did not coax Mussolini to side with us. But even if he failed he had, on leaving, the satisfaction of knowing that for Mussolini the Axis had turned into a picket stake on the sharp end of which he was sitting far from pretty. India is virgin soil for Mr. Phillips but the kind of dickering he will do is-not new to him. He has been matching wits with foreign office horse-traders all over Europe for nearly 40 years. In 1903 with a fresh law degree from Harvard, he became pri vate secretary at London to col orful Ambassador Joseph M. Choate. Not long ago he got to be under secretary of state, but a desk job of even such grandeur cramped the style of so accurate a trouble shooter so he packed his bags and went abroad again. A thinnish, horse-faced man and patient with photographers he knows everybody who is anybody in Europe, including Laval, Galeazzo Ciano .and Von Ribbentrop. He has a wife, five children and four honorary degrees; India, pat ting a full stomach, shortly should be urging another of these last for him.

If he had said, ‘T il copy them,” his Germany might have bought prosperity with the billions he blew in on today’s shattered war machine. The noble Catholic bishop of Berlin, Most Rev. Konrad Count von Preysing would have praised that prosperity as thoroughly as he now condemns all that Hitler does. “This terrible creed” he calls the Nazi philosophy in a ' pastoral letter even bolder than those of his predecessor, the late Nicholas Bares. Sixty-two now, Bishop Preysing spent almost half his life outside the church, but under Hitler’s oppression he has become one of its prime defenders. He was bom in Bavaria. That pastoral state had just joined the new German empire but it had kept its king and separate govern ment and after Von Preysing studied law his title helped him into the ministry of foreign affairs. He was 32 before he entered the priesthood. DOP a paper bag behind any hun- * dred statesmen and when they jump blue prints for a post-war world will bounce out of 99 pockets.

The pet future world of Walter Nash, minister to the ITnited' States from New Zealand, is ; more reasonable than most. It is, in fact, reasonable enough for almost anyone. He leaves ex travagant fancies to others and will settle for better homes and more of them. There is; he be lieves, no other project which would yield richer rewards, in terms of social welfare. Mr. Nash has been talking housing for years, as he should, coming from New Zealand where housing reform paces the world. And he harps con stantly on the need for this in any program of post-war rehabilitation. The fact is, he has. said he is in no hurry for a second front but he has often said we ought to get more sup plies into Russia. Supplies enough might turn the trick, come to think about it. A tailor in his youth, Mr. Nash at 60 is a plump but not 'fat social reformer who is reputed one of the ablest members of New Zea land’s labor government. -....... ‘In Line of Duty’ on Guadalcanal *• * * j A price was exacted from the Japs In overcoming their hold on Guadalcanal, and a price was paid by the United States marines who landed there and held the island until relieved by the V.

Released' by Westera Newspaper Union. THE biggest athletic plant in the world is located at the Great Lakes naval training base, less than 50 miles north of Chicago. The sports facilities of Great Lakes are statistically staggering. Paul Bunyan would find conditions ideal. The plant has to be big. Roughly, the many teams there in clude 136,200 participants, although quite a few of the sailors are on more than one team, since there are approximately 75,000 at the station now. By actual count there were 50,800, men taking part in various sports at one time. Ten huge gymnasiums provide 40 regulation size basketball courts, 10 swimming pools, 11 recreation centers with hosing rings, table tennis, etc., and 10 bowling alleys. One of those 10 swimming pools is the largest in the world. It’s prac tically a sixth Great Lake, measur ing 165 feet by 75, its width being as great as the length of standard tanks. The pool’s capacity is 660,000 gallons. It will accommodate 700 sailors at a time. Participation In checking each sport, we find: Basketball—A total of 20,000 play ers. There are 500 squads in recruit training with 20 men on eacfi squad, 60 in ship companies with 10 on each, 50 in the service school with 10 men and 50 in the hospital unit with 10 men on each. Track—A total of 20,000 men en tered the station’s "championship tournament. Boxing — The title tournament drew 5,000 entries, embracing all weight divisions except flyweight. None of the sailors are ibat small— 112 pounds or less. Volley Ball—Approximately 30,000 men competing. Bowling—Total of 300 teams in league matches; 20,000 sailors par ticipating. Approximately 20,000 men take part in each of these sports: soft ball, touchball and crew racing. Only 200 men compete in swimming, but all sailors at the station are forced to pass rigorous tests each week. Navy Baseball One of the most amazing records was made by the baseball club, coached by Lieut. Mickey Cochrane, former Atiiletics and Tiger star. In 77 games against professionals, semi- pros and college teams, the sailor LIEUT. MICKEY COCHRANE nine attracted 375,000 fans and a gate of $150,000. That was an aver age attendance of 5,000 a game— considerably better than several ma jor league teams could show for their home attendance. Great Lakes has the answer for individuals who question the value of “varsity” athletic teams in the armed servic.es. The training station maintains var sity teams in three sports—basket ball, baseball and football. Last year those teams played a total of 125 games before 600,000 spectators, grossing $265,000. Baseball was the biggest drawing card; 36 basket ball games drew 100,000 customers and earned $15,000. The 12 football games with college teams grossed approximately $125,000. These figures give you a fairly good idea of the vast sports pro gram in progress at Great Lakes. Those who have visited the station are agreed that civilian athletics, even in the bigger universities, are almost trivial in comparison. The Great Lakes athletic program is unsurpassed. It is necessary to use superlatives in describing its progress because of the sheer size of the undertaking. Great Lakes has supplied the right answer to the criticism of the comparatively few individuals who dislike the thought of athletics for the armed forces. SPORT SHORTS Frank Strafaci, of golfing fame, is a staff sergeant with the army in Australia.CThe St. Louis Browns led all American league teams in night games iast year, winning 16 while losing 7. Johnny Niggeling, veteran Knuckle bailer, won six for them. C Four players on the 1,943 roster of the New York Giants were intro duced to the major leagues by the late John McGraw.

O C K S DWDER A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES EY THE LEADI N O WAR CORRESPONDENTS' Front Line In New Guinea By Osmar White (W N U Feature—Through special arrangement with CoUiafs Weakly) Australia’s front line in New Guinea is remote and mysterious, the most secret front line in a whole world at war. I was determined to find it. After a week’s canoeing into the interior,’ I saw the mountains at dawn one morning. They take your breath away. The tallest mountains I’ve ever seen. One mountain is in the 14,000-foot class. The track leads straight over a 9,000-foot pass. I pity the men manning this foot hill post on the way to the front line. They’re tired—jungle-tired to the very bone. They’re thin and yel lowed and listless. They have had to dig a four-foot deep trench around their camp and block the, bridges across it because death adders and rats pester them at night. When not • working, they live in a huge mos quito net which covers the space for a table and chairs and a little book shelf. They get mail once in two or three months. From here I started the next morning, up the tough slope, through dense, damp jungle. The idea is to get the day’s walking over before the afternoon rain sets in. What rain! Straight down,- warm and steamy, drenching to the marrow., The first Kunds bridge swayed wild ly over roaring rapids 40 feet below. Where Sun Never Shines. Next day more of the same. Up and up and up and up. The track is a cannibal path now, not nine inches wide. TWie high -air’s thin— not half a breath in a IungfuL The sun has not shone on this mud in a hundred thousand years. Still up. Sometimes the trees thin a bit and one can see a glimpse of a breath taking blue valley, utterly blanketed in treetops, sweeping down 4,000 feet onto the snakelike river, white with rapids and waterfalls. Here one may hold shouted conversation with a man a full day’s journey away. Another day and we’re over the crest. Now down and down and down. Dry, comfortable camps over looking a rolling, grassy valley. Fresh food to-make your teeth wa ter. The only fly in the ointment, is the rats in the bedrooms. They run up under the blanket with their little cold feet. Another day and I'm in a valley, hot and magnificent with richness. There are great stands of hoop pine. My boy brought me a spray of creamy orchids a foot long. Met some fellows from the front line, go ing out sick. Two of them had been in the Salamaua show. They had bad sores from mocka bites. Mockas are scrub ticks that carry Asiatic typhus. T heycallitJapriver fever up here. They bit me pretty severely on the way over and this kunai grass is swarming with them, but the iodine bottle keeps them down. The fel lows told grim- stories of the Japs jubilantly relaxing in neat Uttle grass villages among grinning, well- fed natives. Ahead are more hills stiU, wetter and steeper, but this is the last stretch. Hears a Jap Bomber. I camped under die skirts of a' 12,500-foot mountain. About nine o’clock I heard the unmistakable high-low drone of a Jap bomber. I turned off my lantern from IiaAit and went out.. The forest was ablaze with eerie light; Uie ground under the hut a flickering mass of glow worms. Another day and I reached an army camp—four great huts, now housing a contingent of Commandos going to the front—lean, stooped youngsters already yeUowed by fever. They are-toe-first consider able body of troops I have seen in nearly 300 miles of walking. These are the men who do quiet execution of every Jap patrol that dares poke its nose out Only one is over 30. And then finally, the next day, I was at the front I went up by way of a cedar tree to have a look at the top story. The valley opened out and far off behind a cloud bank was the faint sheen of the sea. Then, like a cue in a stage play,- it came— the distant rolling thunder of ma chine-gun fire. It was happening down there under that soft canopy of treetops. I arrived in time to see the patrol come in, tom ,’ caked with mud and- sweat and jubilant. Theredw eltof a bullet coiled over the neck of one of them like a little dead snake. They had fought a’patrol of 120 Japs. They stalked them for nine hours, toea placed a machine-gun nest in a clearing and slashed them to shreds. The Japs fled through the- jungle in twos and threes, howling. I saw the battlefield by lantern Hght. Sodden heaps of clothing and equipment; little pools of blood which rain was diluting and blending with the earth.

JESUSRESTORES LAZARUS TO LIFE ’’ LESSONTEXT—Iobn 11:32415. 38-44. GOLDEN TEXT—“I am Uie resurrection, and the llfe."-Jolm 11:25. Suffcringi sorrow and bereave ment are so common in our day Uiat this lesson is peculiarly appropriate. Life, even to toe Christian, finds its full measure of things which hurt and grieve. Many ask: “Why must I, a follower of Christ, bear such burdens?”The answer is, that while toe be liever is not “of the world,” he is “in the world,” and here he must meet toe problems of life, including the evils to which toe flesh is heir because of sin. The fact that Jesus is our Friend and our Saviour does not exempt us from human-.sorrow, but it does assure us of the needed grace to bear toe trial and makes us ready to trust Him even in life’s darkest hour. Lazarus, toe friend of Jesus, was sick. The home in which Jesus had found rest and fellowship was in deep trouble. Jesus was no longer in Judea. In haste, word was sent to Him of His friend’s illness. But He did not come. Why does He delay? Such is toe heart-cry. of thousands today who call on Him in their hour Of trouble. The purposes of God we cannot fully understand. We need only to trust Him and abide His time. - Notice that His failure to respond at once to the message of Lazarus’ sisters did-not mean that He had deserted them (John 11:4-6). Nor did it mean that He had denied them His help (v. 7). Above all, note that He eame. He always does. Jesus has never failed any child of His. The time and toe manner of His answer to our prayers may not conform to our opinion of what should have been done; but let us temember toat’we know only in part, He knows all. Let us trust Him. Job, in his darkest hour, said: “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him” (Job 13:15). The steps from sorrow to victori ous joy in this story are three in number. I. Death and Tears (w . 32-25). By the time Jesus came, Lazarus was dead and his family and friends could only weep as they said: “If thou hadst been here—” Try as we may to temper its cruel blow, toe fact remains that death is the enemy of man. It came into toe world as toe result of sin' (Rom. 5:12), and only in Christ is it “swallowed up in victory” (I Cor. 15:54). Until the glorious day of Christ’s return ing, when the redemption of the body will be complete (Rom. 8:23), death will continue to bring sorrow to the heart and tears to the eyes. But let i» not fail to notice that as toe friends of Jesus, we do not sorrow alone. “Jesus wept” (v. 35) with Martha and Mary. We know that He weeps with us in our trying hour. He is toe “friend that stick- eth closer than a . brother.” He is the one who gives grace to meet the deepest sorrow, and to bear it with grace because of His tender fellowship, n . Faith, and Hope (w . 38-40). “If thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God,” said Jesus to Martha. She must look beyond toe evident fact of toe deadness of her brother and see God’s glory in his resurrection. Thus faith assures us that those who believe in Christ have more than toe comfort of His sympathizing presence—they have a sure hope (read I Thess. 4:14-18). Sorrow and unbelief would becloud our faith and thus rob us of our hope. Martha needed to have her faith stimulated by the gracious words of toe Lord;, and then she triumphantly put her hope in Him, the Christ of God. Once we recognize Him as God, we have no hesitation in believing in His mirac ulous.power. m . Christ and Resurrection (w . 41-44). Majestic, and authoritative are toe words of Christ, “I am toe resur rection and the life” (v. 25).. He it was who gave life, for was He not “in toe beginning with God”? And is it not said of Him, that “all things were made by him” (John 1:2, 3)? Paul tells us that “by him all things consist” (Col. 1:17). He is the only one who could say: “I lay down my life .-. . I have power to lay. it down, and I have power to take it up again” (John 10:17, 18). So it can rightly be said that if we have Christ we have everything —both in this world and in the world, to come. - But if we do not have Christ, ’ we have nothing;., we are without God and without hope. “He that believeth in me, though he-were dead; yet shall he live” (v. 25) is the promise of'Christ to us. Let us believe it. ■- ' The resurrection power of Christ is at wbrk in the world today raising toe spiritually dead to; newness of life in Him. May we see many such a'Lazarus called forth—loosed from the grave clothes, of sin and set free.

F C I * M. t ' ■+ 1 ie j RAYS OF HOPE - A L L night long, light streams from the windows of A X a railroad station. . . like friendly raj's of hope in a darkened world. For this is the night watch on the SouthernRailwaySystem. ' ■ ' It’s q uiet. . . for a moment. B ut only for a moment. Soon a headlight will pierce the darkness. Soon another troop train will come thundering by. Or another train of oil and coal cars. Or another fast Southern freight, loaded with guns and tanks and food and tools of war. Tben a proud smile will light the face of the railroad man on the night watch. For he knows that the trains rushing by in increasing numbers are carrying fig h tin g fre ig h t a n d fig h tin g m e n toward certain V ictory... toward a Victory to which he and his co-workers on the Southern Railway are making mighty contributions. And when the war is won, these men and women of the Southern will do another great job. For then the South will enter a new era of growth and opportunity. Its already mighty industry will grow by leaps and bounds. New products will come from its farms and mines and forests. Its cities and ports will throb w ith the ever-expanding commerce of a free world. Thus, in the rays cf light streaming from a railroad station at night, we see the promise of a happier to morrow. . .the certainty of a new and greater Southland.

It will be only for a day or two. But understand, this visit must not be used as an open* ing wedge for regular contact with the Associated people. That I will not have during our construction pe riod.” His dignity recovered, he turned to Eitulio, who had been standing by, staring incuriously into the distance.“Help to get Senora Curtis and the children across to Riverbend.” “Si, Senor.” Curt mounted the steps. At the dispatcher’s office he put in a call for his house at San Alejo. “Hiya, Lee. Surprise. Pack for yourself and the kids. You’re visit ing Jerry and Marta for a day or two. They’re having an anniversa ry dinner tonight—” “But Jeff, what anni—” “I’m sorry I can’t go. As I told you, I’m completely tied up until the' new shovels are in operation. Anyway, you have a good time for the both of us. I’m sending the car for you now. Can you be ready in forty minutes?" “I think so, dear, but—” ' "No ‘buts,’ I can’t go and that’s that. If you wait for me you may never see them. There’s no telling when I can get a day from the job.” He hung up. This last should tell Lee the urgency of the situation without giving the operator—un doubtedly Ustening in—anything to chew on. But Lee reached Tempujo by noon. The kids bounced about in excitement, clutching at Curt. He tamed them over to Emilio, togeth er with the three small bags Lee had brought.Then he held Lee close, whisper ing while pretending to kiss her, “Don’t look so anxious, sweet. Keep a clear face. Everything’s under control, and I’ll be with you sooner khan you think.” He managed to slip into her palm a note folded tightly. “For Jerry,” Curt then handed Lee into the boat and watched the crossing. He saw her met on the other bank— that would be Jerry, God bless him! —and they waved across at each other. Monahan had been all day at the tractor-shovels. Their progress had been slowed today by more difficult terrain. More filling, more matting had been necessary. He returned'to Tempujo along with Curt and Emi lio, and after the-three had showered and changed clothing, they had supper together. Collins was finish ing his at a table by himself. He looked a good bit fresher than he had this morning.' He’d shaved and it was clear he’d slept all day. After supper Curt went to his of fice, followed as usual by his bodyguard. Eight, nine, ten o’clock came, and still Cur^ applied himself. There was plenty to be done, he might as well do it. Emilio looked in on him once, annoyed but making no com ment. Curt merely looked up, then back at his desk again. Ten-thirty. Curt rolled up what prints he’d been using, stacked his papers. He came to the door of the drafting room, stretching and yawning. In the middle of the' stretch he stiffened. Emilio looked up, instantly alert—almost suspi cious. Curt’s eyes, without having turned his head, seemed to be pierc ing the darkness beyond the porch. He banked on Emilio’s drowsiness to keep him from realizing immediately that no one can see into dark ness from a lighted space. In a low voice, keeping his lips stiff, Curt said, “There’s somebody o,ut there, out behind those palms. Size and shape looks like—Collins, I’d say; Put out your light.” As he spoke he reached behind him inside the door of the drafting room and switched off the lights there. Emilio’s reaction was to snap off the table lamp and move catlike to the door, reaching for his gun. Then Curt struck. The butt of his own gun caught the native behind the ear. Emilio went down without a sound. Curt hauled the. unconscious man into the bedroom and shut the door. He closed the hinged bamboo shut ters over his window, then turned on the light in the adjoining shower room and left,, that door open a crack.There was no rope available, so he ripped a sheet into strips to bind 'he man's hands behind him, tie his feet, his legs. He soaked these strips in water so they couldn’tpos- sibly be worked loose. He fashioned a gag, pried open the teeth, secured it in place. Then he picked up the inert form and tossed it on the bed. Before snapping off the bathroom light a glance at his wrist showed it was ten-forty. He’d better get the crew together. Jerry should be on this side by now, to meet Monahan upriver away from lights. On Sunday nigh{s Tempujo set tled down earlier than on Satur days. Already most of the resi dence lights were out, and only one end of the mess-hall showed activi ty. His eyes now adjusted to the dark, Curt could see through the screen door what looked like two trunks to' the palm tree in the yard. “Collins?” he called softly.“Yo.” Curt picked up a camera and flash bulb he’d set apart earlier, then let himself out and down the short path. For several minutes neither spoke, then as Curt wan grumbling, “Wish they’d hurry, I’d like a smoke,” Collins touched his arm and pointed in the dimness. Curt grunted. “Yeh, that’s them.” Two figures were making their way toward the bungalow, taking advantage of every patch of heavy darkness. The four men joined forces. “Lee and the kids?” were Curt’s first words. "Okay,” McInnis answered. “By luck, the San Timoteo’s taking on Emilio went down without a sound. fruit. They’re aboard now. The Old Man’s given orders to speed the loading and be ready to pull out at daylight with whatever load they have by then. He’ll get heck from Distribution,” McInnis chuck led, "but I guess his shoulders are broad enough.” Monahan stopped them at a cache he’d prepared earlier in the evening, and all four shared the load—Uie big bundle of dynamite, the three cans of black powder, the fat coil of fuse. Getting to the motorshed and run ning a car outside the yard limits unseen proved easy. Once under way, Curt sketched a quick picture for McInnis of . what they’d found last night, what they were headed for. McInnis grunted a couple of times, and at the end said, “Okay, what’s the program?” Curt went over it. At one point Collins interrupted. “We’ll get there about midnight. Monahan’^ job is set for one. Not sure that’ll be time enough for me. Got to study those fuse mechanisms. Chances are they’ll be simple enough, but I can’t be sure.” “Okay, another half hour, think?” Collins considered. "We’ll have to chance it,” he said reluctantly, “can’t take all night. Anyway, these explosives will do the job ion the planes in case I can’t set the bombs for explosion. Yes, make' it one- thirty.” “Okay, got it,” said Monahan. “Another thing,” Collins went on, “once you men get the dynamite planted you’ll have to dear out. I’U finish priming the bombs alone. Then if anything goes wrong we won’t all grow halos. You’d be no use to me anyway.” “Guess you’re right,” Curt growled: “Well, we can’t all be heroes," and he mentally saluted the Navy man. Midway across the fiats he stopped the car to climb a pole and cut the two telephone lines—the dispatch er’s line and the general office link between San Alejo and Tempujo. Nothing happened to impede them. They reached the foot of the Quebrados in good time, de spite running without lights. There Monahan melted into the night to grope his way up a trail. A wide ditch circled the foot of the Quebrados,' a catch basin ■ to carry off the torrential rains of the wet season as they flooded down the mountainsides. A wooden bridge carried the tracks across this chan nel. The three men quickly pushed the car through the airfield spur and mainline connecting tracks iin- til it:was headed for the river again, and pushed it back across the bridge so it-was clear for the run to Tem pujo. As Curt and McInnis were load ing themselves gingerly with ex plosives—the dynamite and two cans of powder—Collins spoke up. “It won’t take all three of us to break , in. I’ll be planting this last can to knock out that bridge behind us. Have.that much feae.” „ “Good” Curt cut a length of fuse for the job, took the rest of the coil, and with McInnis got under way for the hidden hangars. They reached the fence and Curt led the way cautiously to the spot whete he’d broken through last 'night. Heplayedhisflashalongthe ground. Good. The leaves and de bris scattered over the soft fill of the hole he’d used before was undis turbed. “Yeh, but I don’t like this, Curt. Looks too easy. I can’t believe they don’t keep some kind of watch. You would, I would, they’re not dumber, are they? You could have got through last nght by cheer luck.” “I know. It’s been in my mind, too. But there’s nothing we can do about it except keep alert.” Mclnnis’ words were prophecy. It was as they were hauling at the strip of corrugated sheathing—a noisy job itself!—that they heard the running feet. So there was a patrol maintained! The two men jumped away from the wall and fell flat in the dry grass. The feet pounded around the end of the build ing, a flash played back and forth and picked out the hole in the fence the sprung sheet. “Was ist das? Antworten siel” . The man ran to the fence, then to the break in the hangar wall. The Sheet had not been ripped sufficiently to admit a person, so the man toned from the building and played his light about the space between it and the fence. The two Americans couldn’t possi bly avoid detection long. Curt made a cautious move for his gun and the rustle of the dry grass gave him away. The guard shot wildly in that direction and doused his' flash. Curt and Mclnnis rolled apart in stantly, but neither used his gun in the blackness for the flash would give away his position. The guard, too, after the first wild shot, held his fire. But his movements showed he was edging toward the fence. “Alarm wire!” shouted Curt. “Along the fence-top! He’s trying to r.each it!” The guard lunged for the fence, but there came a shot from beyond it, from the other side. Collins! A quick stab from Collins’ flashlight showed the German close to the fence, his arm upstretched, the man ready to spring. Another shot, and the man went down. “Finished my job at the tracks,” Collins called anxiously, “and heard this guy as I neared the fence. Then the shot. Are you okay?” "Yes,” cried Curt. “There’s a hole in the fence, Collins. Get busy, you guys. I’ll see if the shots car ried.”He raced around the end of the building and to the front. He had a clear view to the other end of the field. A few night lights showed, as they had last night. Under one of these, the one outside the clubroom, two figures stood like statues. Men listening. Presently they seemed to relax. They moved out of the light, not' fast as though alarmed, and the clubroom lights snapped on. Curt relaxed, too. Thg, shots had been behind the buildings here, the sounds wouldn’t have carried sharply to the other end—he hoped. He returned to the others.Collins and Mclnnis had forced entrance to the hangar. AU three had flashlights tonight, and Curt found M^Jnnis taking a quick look- see for himself. CoUins was at the bomb room door, forcing the lock. Curt and Mclnnis joined him. Inside the long partition they spent a moment studying the layout. The cylindrical casings were pointed ai the bulkhead, which was constructed of thick planks. When assembled, there’d be a space of about two feet between the noses of the bombs and the heavy wall.“Okay, men, jt’ll work,” Collins said. “Get busy on your jobs. I’U handle mine.” The room was wired with lights. Since no beam could escape out side, Collins snapped the switch and immediately got to work on a studj ofthe first tail fuse at hand. “Huh,” he said dismally, “they’re the arming vane type. Well, guess I can-revolve them by hand. Nose piece, I understand that well enough.- Pull the pin and they're set for impact.” These bombs weie designed for loading on planes, assembled, bit* not set for explosion. On release from the plane, the arming pin oi the nose, fuse would have to be pulled, to free the mechanical re- straiht that prevents the fuse from firing the detonator. In the case of the tail fuse, however, that “brake” would be released auto* matically by the revolution of the arming vane as the bomb (el' through the air. (TO BE CONTlWtDi by Roge Roger B.

Two years ago I had my house shingled and the chimney cleaned out. Since that time the radio seems to come down the chimney from all surrounding houses. It keeps me awake until one and two in the night, and I can’t find any way to stop it. I am too busy to sleep days, and no one seems to know any way to stop it without injury to the funiace or fireplace. I dread the night, and. I cannot stand it much longer. Answer: That is one of the freak phenomena that occur sometimes when a house is located near a high- powered radio station. By listen ing to the announcements, you can identify easily the station from which the programs are being sent. When you have done that, telephone or write to the station and request that the engineering staff send you . a technical expert to come and cor rect the condition and let you have some peace. Plaster Cracks Question: My new home, completed last November, is developing many fine cracks in the plaster. They appear over doors and win dows and alongside the archways. What is the reason? Can this condi tion be corrected when the’ ,walls are painted? Or will the cracks re turn after a short time? Answer: The cracking may be caused by the settlement of the house, which may continue for sev eral months. Whenthecrackinghas ceased, fill the cracks with a pre pared patching plaster, being sure to follow directions on the contain er. If cracks develop again in' the same places, they - may indicate structural weakness at these points. To correct such a condition you should engage a good builder. He can strengthen the weak areas in the framing around the openings. Refinishing Mahogany Question: I want to refinish old mahogany and would like to fill the pores and achieve a moistureproof, heatproof and alcohol-proof finish that is dull. What should I use? Answer: Remove the finish down to the wood, then clean it and smooth the s'-irface, if necessary. Apply lib erally a mahogany-colored paste wood filler, thinned with turpentine to the consistency of thick paint. After 15 minutes or so, wipe off the filler across the grain with burlap or coarse cloth. When the surface is hard and dry, smooth it by rub bing lightly with number OOO sand paper. Wipe off the dust and finish with three coats of a quick-drying; dull or rubbed-effect varnish. Oil-Burning Boiler Question: Would you advise me to install a coal furnace and water- heating stove for a four-family house and to shut off the oil-burning boiler because of the oil shortage? Can one have both? Who can advise me on the change? Answer: Before installing a coal furnace you should investigate the possibility of converting your pres ent boiler to coal. Call in your lo cal plumbing or heating contractor, or ask a coal dealer to recommend a contractor. The Anthracite Indus tries, Inc., Chrysler Building, New York, sends out important informa tion regarding conversion from oil to anthracite. Casein Paint Question: I would like to know if it is all right to use casein paint on a gilded radiator? I want it to blend in with the color on the wall. Also, could you paint a fireplace of wood with it? Can it' be washed? Answer: Casein paint is intended for masonry, not for radiators or wood. When applied to masonry, it can be washed after it has dried. You can get a special paint for radi ators in various colors. This is an oil paint, and your radiator will give off more heat with oil paint than with metallic paint. Your fireplace also can be painted with oil paint Removing Paint Question: How can I remove paint from the spirals of a maple bed? liquid removers run off or dry. 'Answer: Some paint dealers sell prepared paint remover in paste form. If they cannot supply it, make a paste of powdered whiting or fuller’s earth, and. a solution of trisodium phosphate, a cupful to a quart of water. Apply a thick lay er of this mixture and keep moist until the paint has softened. Remove the paste; if any paint re mains, take it off by rubbing with fine steel wool. Rinse with clear water and allow the wood to dry. tum p Loses Prime Question: I had new pipes laid from my pump to the well. The water runs back and -has to be primed, which it never^needed be fore. The pump man does not know the cause. Can you explain? Answer: Your pump man may have Oinitted a check valve in the line, or the foot valve at the bottom of the well has become worn. There also would be a loss of wa ter if the' new pipe joints were not made watertight. Your pump man should, have checked these possibil ities. * G ir V s S c h o o l o r E v e r y - D a y O u tH t > \8232-Cc»B /rrL - I 5-'0' School Outfit U E R E ’S the answer to the school outfit or every-day outfit you want to make your little girl.
