Only a few decades ago Germany was the most highly educated, civi Iized nation on earth In order to finish an education In any part of the world, regardless of how great other institutions of learning were, it was necessary to go to Germany. She stood at the Iop of the list In learning, knowledge and enlighten, ment. And she was Iikawise a godly, spiritual nation. But what is wrong with Germany now? Jnst this: she has drifted from God and the HoiyBibIe. She turned her knowledge over to the devil, which means destructiveness of life and property, and the dam. nation of precious souls. Instead of holding to the Bible and God, she turned ber powerful knowledge over to the enemy of mankind, say­ ing, "Might is right/’ and Is going forth to conquer' the world, it seems, and bring humanity under her iron heel. And are not other nations of earth doing practically the same thing? Are not we fighting, kill­ ing, slaying and destroying with the great knowledge God has giv­ en ns? Instead of trusting Godt humbling ourselves, praying' and seeking God’s face, God’s favors, God’s protection, we are likewise out to kill. We say we are fight. Ing to save democracy. Well, may­ be, but are we not in grave danger of losing democracy unless we turn to God as a nation, and as allied nations of the world? How can democracv stand wben we wilfully disobey God just like Germany and Japan are doing? How? By in. dnlging in drunkenness and sinful, wicked pleasures of piactically all kinds, and giving onr knowledge to tbe aevil to destroy lives and souls instead of God. We believe In and love democracy, and it seems now that it is fight or lose, but we should realize that our de­ pendence is upon God, He should be our Captain. Instead of using our knowledge with bicb to serve tbe devil, and destroy much good, wby not turn it over to God witb which to save men and do much good? To say the very best af it. know­ ledge apart from ,God is very dan­ gerous Tbe devil takes possess­ ion of it with which to kill and slay, damn souls, curse tbe world and wreck the human family. When God is left out, the devil always turns knowledge into a channel of destructiveness. Are the nations of earth not beaded back toward barbarism in spite of all onr great knowledge? What eoutd be more barbarous than this horrible World War? The outcome largely ot knowledge apart from God. G o o d M ilk R e c o r d Peterborough. N. H.—Sanford & Blackwelder, Mocksville, N C.. have just completed a creditable Advanced Register record of 11085.9 pounds of milk and 516.7 pounds of butter fat on their registered Guernsey cow Daisey Belle of Twin Brook. Be­ sides this creditable record, this cow produced a live healthy calf for her owners. Daisey is a daughter daughter of the outstanding Guernsey sire.

L an d po o lers fo r sale a t T lM iU c a v d a ffic a i B A C K U P Y O U R B O Y B u y a n A d d ith tn a l B o n d T o d a y J o g g liD g T h e F a c ts The Office of War Information re­ cently reported that there was the probability that there would be a serious food shortage and counseled civilians to expect more or less se w e shortage this year. But the Agriculture Department disagrees with the OWI. Its eco mic department predicts that the civilian per capita supply of food should be as large as tbe 1935 39 average, and that with rationing and Victory Gardens we ought to get along right well, thank you. And that is hearting, coming as it does from an agency that ought to know what it is talking about. Nevertheless there is a lack of con slstency that disturbs. If we re­ member aright, it was the Agricul ture Department that has been warning that tbe syphoning of of manpower from the farms has just about ruined agriculture; that even with concerted action in chan, neling workers from tbe Army and the cities, the nation should ex. pect agricultural production 1 0 wane to the danger point. We do wish official Washington eould get together on such Import­ ant matters as this. The civilian morale cannot be kept to a high pitch wbeo all and sundty becomes uncertain about tbe future. Self­ protection, which admittedly is the first law of nature, is calculated to make cbiselers instead of patriots out of many of u s- in tbe presence ot possible hunger. Could it be that our economists and those who dish out lnforma- 'tion to tbe public are playing fast and loose with the facts for special reasons? Are they giving th e Weather Man tbe rnn around in measuring 1943 agricultural pro­ duction? And bow can tbe appeal for more farm workers stand up in the presence of tbe assurance from the nation’s foremost farm agency that the farmers will measure up to the goals set for them, in spite of all visible difficulties. And from this distance the difficulties look- formidable. Tbe public has placed a lot of confidence in Elmer Davis’ report­ ing. Under his direction OWI has earned that confidence. In this case be got bis figures from one sector of tbe Department of Agri­ culture. It must be disconcerning to him to have another division present an opposite view. Maybe he is as much disturbed about it as much disturbed about it as tbe next one—and with no greater power to do anything about it.—-Statesville Daily. S t ill T h e S a m e A general and a colonel were walk­ ing down the street. They met many privates, and each time tbe colonel would salute, he would mut­ ter. “The same to you.” The general’s curiousity soon got the better of him. and he asked: “Why do you always say that?” The .colored answered: “I was once a private and I know what they were thinking.” And did our Secretary of State also have Io have a shiny new auto* mobile and plenty of gas to travel to that Atlanta conference of the Council of State Governments? T o H a s te n V ic to r y No American wants this war to go one minute beyond the time we can bring it to a vic­ torious end. To hasten that victory—to save possibly the lives of millions of our hoys on our far Ihmg fronts—It Is imperative that every Ameri­ can do Us part In the Second War Loan. There is an in­ vestment to lit every purse. The most you can do Is little enough compared with the sac­ rifice offered by our boys In service. Ibey give their lives —yon lend your money. T h e L it t le M a n L a g s There is some cotnplalnt from treasury officials at Washington that "the little man” is lagging in Second Victory loan purchases, while those of more ample means are responding quite freely. Not only is there a note of complaint, but at least a pretension of nuzzle ment about what is happening to the "little man.” Note was made in this column last week that Congressman Catner. on Morrison and Candidate O. Max Gardner had made some discoveries about the plight of “the little man” especially that genus homo who has bad nothing nut of tbe war ex­ cept reduction of bis purchasing power and multiplication of his taxpaving. Slashing of exemp­ tions intended to beip the small salaried man to own a home and rear a family, a family larger on the average than that of bis econo­ mically abler neighbor, has been supplemented by vastlv higher rate of taxation on the larger amount of his pay made liable to Federal income tax. On top of this is 8 “Victory” tax of five per cent with­ held each pay day. In some cases these "little men” find their Fed. eral income tax from ten to fifteen times as much this year as last. And on top of tbit some additional excise taxes have been imposed on tbe goods he must buy if bis fami­ ly are to be fed and clothed con- fortably There has been much talk a- bout holding inflation off his pat- tlent shoulders, but those who pro. dace and those who process the ne­ cessities of life for him have talked much louder and tbe realities of swollen living costs have borne down on bim more heavily than an ; official estimate have indicated. Right now it appears that Con- gressional leaders are about to a- gree on a pay-as-you-go tax schetnc that will probably take a good deal of tbe bide from where the hair has already been pulled. This "little man” is furnishing more than a proportionate share of the boys who' carry the guns. And he’s trying to buy some bonds, but as a rule he must accumulate them by tbe slow and painful stamp buying route. But he isn’t sur. rendering bv any means. — Tbe Dispatch.

Blizzard testified h e had been drinking and could not recall the shooting.

Let us all ask ourselves, 'Shan we be more tender with our dollars than with the Uves of our sons?’ ” — Secretary Morgenthau. H o o ts M illin g F ir m P u r ­ c h a s e s D a v ie F a r m Marchmont, 7ta-acre estate in Davie county, and one of tbe few undivided plantations remaining in this section of the S'ate, has been purchased by Z. D. Hoots, of the Hoots Milling Company, of Wins. ton-Salem. Aproximately 200 acres lie along the Yadkin River, the north boun dary being about one mile from Advance The plantation was own ed by the estate of Mrs. Luna S Williams, of Salisbury. It bad been in possession oi the Williams and. March families for generations. Although tbe amount of tbe pur­ chase price was not listed, the oro perty is assessed for taxes at slight. Iy more than $40,000. Negotiations tor tbe sale were conducted by C H. Sebring of tbe Security Bond and Mortgage Com. pany and N. N. Shore of the Shore Real Estate Comoany, both of this city. Located on the property is a 12. room home with two baths, several tenant houses and other buildings, A former garden on top of the hill and covering almost two acres was at one time one of tbe finest box­ wood gardens in tbe South. In purchasing tbe property Hoots announced plans to develop and op. erate the farm and to make a num. ber of modern improvements on the place. L e t U s P r a y (By Kev. Loy D. Thompson) Oftentimes the thought comes to our mind as to who can pray and be assured of getting what be prays for. (t is certainly a fact that cannot be successfully controverted. that God does not promise to give every man what be ask for. There are expres­ sions in the Bible that we have in­ terpreted in each a way as to sug­ gested that Christ grants every re- guest that any one makes For in- stance in I John 3:22 you find these words: “And whatsoever we ask wc receive of Him. because we keep Hia commandments end do these things that are pleasing to Him.” Row our eves fall out on those first words. Whatsoever we ask we receive of Him,” and we stop thinking right there. We are so pleased with the first part of that sentence that we lose sight entirely of tbe second part. This promise is not made t0 ell class­ es and grades of people. It is made to those who keep His command* ments and do those things that are pleasing to aim. Most of us have some unanswered prayers, or. at any rate, we fail to get what we pray for. The trouble does not lie in God. The trouble is in us. We cannot qualify. Tbere are two things that we have not done, Wehavenot kept His com* mandments and we bave failed to do those things that please Him. Tbe commrndments of Christ are found in the Bible. Many people do not study the Word in order to find out what His commandments are and they do not bother very much a- bout pleasing Him. The. fault is with us. Many people have quit praying because they tell you that God does not answer their prayers. They become discouraged. They come to the conclusion that prayer i8futila. Such people expect too much when they look for answers to petitions that are offered without regard to whether they have met the requirements and fulfilled the conditions. Have you kept His com- mabdments? Have you done Uiese things that please Hite? Perchance that promise was not made to you. Had you thought of that?

Reidsville, Ga.—How three whis­ key stills were found in Georgia's state penitentiary prior to the mass escape of twenty five of the insti­ tutions toughest convicts, was re. vealed by Warden H. R DuVall. DuVall, asked about reports that prisoners had been making whiskey, said one still of 50-gal- Ion capacity was found in. the pri­ son canning plant in a wing of the main building, and that t<vo small­ er, ones had been found. The dis­ coveries were made March 16, just after he toik over as warden, Du. Vall said. One of tbe smaller liquor plants was found in a tunnel leading from the boiler room to the main build­ ing. .This disclose came after DuValI told how convicts planned weeks in advance for last Friday’s mass break, working ho,ur after hour to cut through specially hardened bars with steel wire, then put them back in place with soap. Confessions by two recaptured prisoner’s aided iu revelation. DuVaiI said two'recaptured con­ victs, Leo McIntesh and Joe Mo New, told him and other prison of. ficials an amazing story of how case.bardened cells bars were saw. ed with wire and a compound used to grind automobile valves. As the warden and other autborl ties watched. McIntosh and Mc- New walked along tbe cell block on the fourth floor of the prison and flicked away bar after bar which appeared to solid. Eleven of tbe twenty-five con­ victs who fled the prison remain at large today. H e W a s H u n g r y A colored man of the commun­ ity, Mooney Young, went in the Greenway Cafe today, walked into the kitchen where two beads of cabbage were lying on the table. He told Joseph Batten shoyed it over and told him to go ahead. Mooney ate the whole thing, to the last leaf shred, drank three glasses of water and said he felt better. Batten says the cabbage head weighed two and half pounds and more than that it costs thirty-four cents.—Statesville Daily. i\ a * 1 1 4 .W A R B O N D S THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C.

He acted . dumb as anything, and started fish­ ing in his pocket, and drew out some change. "How much you want? Only got 73 cents.” I excused myself and ran into the house. It was high time I told Vic­ tor about that letter. He could do stunts with it; make them all write their names and compare the pen­ manship or something. The rooms were a mess. We’d have to quit this business and clean up the inn and start lunch, pretty soon. Some of the beds had been tossed together in my hasty search for Roddy’s diamond ring, but that was all. My own room didn’t even have the clothes airing. I flung them back in a heap and ran to the bu­ reau. The letter was gone! I couldn’t believe it. Maybe it wasn’t the top drawer, where I stuck it under the paper lining. I tried the others, knowing the futility. Then I went back to the top one again, tossing my belongings helter-skelter. There was no doubt about it. I got down on my hands and knees and looked under the bureau. I even moved it from the wall.

Unanimously. “Well, Miss Judy, what’s bother­ ing you?” Victor sat down in the" old morris chair where Uncle Wylie often retreated with his pipe when things got too warm for him in the kitchen.I closed the door. When I turned and saw Victor Quade’s glowing eyes boring darkly into mine, I was struck again by his odd resemblance to Roddy Lane. If Lane had had a brother—! But I knew better. And when he smiled at me, how different from the Lane leer. Such magnifi­ cent teeth! I sighed faintly, think­ ing for a moment how handsome the man was. Then I plunged into the strange incident of the letter. “An anonymous letter, you say?” “It was merely signed—‘A Friend.’ Inclosed were forty twenty-dollar bills.”“May I see this epistle?” I felt full of confusion. What an idiot I’d been to leave it in a bu­ reau drawer—the first place anyone would look. I had to admit I’d been y the Old Harry should a per- t stranger wish to present me Wfi h a tearoom, anyway? lot Aunt Nella. She’d never let anybody do her bidding, nor pass a sum like that. Uncle Wylie I carded. Roddy Lane? But whyondis die He slit uld he want the old church? He I knew, because he’d said so. d also said he was planning to De Witt used those very words.’ “What words?”“ ‘Sentimental reasons.' He’d like, he said, to own the old Quaker church for sentimental reasons.” “Used to hold services there, didn’t he?” “Said.so. Not since my time, though 'he had the Rockvillt con- grega—” safe here?" I laughed at the idea. “We’re poor,” I reminded him. “Taking boarders!” "Well, don’t keep it on your per­ son. Were they new bills? In se­ quence?” “In sequence? The numbers? I didn’t think to look at them very closely. They weren’t new. Old, I’d say. Not in order as you might get them from a bank.” “They wouldn't be. Whoever sent them is far too clever. Put them back in your drawer. Might be a good idea to tell everybody about the letter you received, its loss, and that whoever took it would find the cash in the same place. I don’t want you to go away by yourself after this. Keep with somebody you can trust all the time—like your aunt or your uncle.” It was then I confessed Aunt Nella was really no relative of mine, nor her husband, either. I could trust him, Victor said, and the way he glanced at me made me blush till I was afraid he'd see it. I reached for the. register to hide, my confusion, and opened it at the blot­ ter. “Mr. Quade, look! AU the signa­tures have been torn out!” We examined the torn ledger, hunting fruitlessly in the waste-bas­ ket. Victor’s eyes gleamed. “That’S where he made a boner. Did—did Lane register that night?” “No. I put his name down, though. See, back here. He was only a meal- er. ‘One supper—75 cents.’ There it is.” “And I suppose everybody’s been in here to telephone.”“Uh-huh. Even you—when you found the wires were cut." He inquired then when I’d missed the letter, and I had to admit I’d Iy just discovered it wasn’t them hen I went up to get it to show to u' I hadn’t looked at it since I id it ,under the paper lining in iy bureau drawer. [Somebody wasn’t taking wny ances of having his or her signa- e compared with the letter-writ- Maybe he was afraid of not Iguising some peculiarity enough, perts can tell every time. But there’s only the contents, as remember them, to go by.” [Then how did he make a boner?” |just this: If Old Man Brown _ _ e in here he’d have been seen by one of the guests. Mr. Quincy is usually on the piazza. That Kendall woman is ubiquitous. No, Brown didn’t get in. I doubt if Lane did. His handwriting wasn’t there, you say. But somebody’s was. Some­ body who was sparring for time till he found and destroyed the letter he’d sent you.” (TO BE CONTINUED) M ake B ed Points Work! taking red points fit your menus StiH give you plenty of valuable proteins and fats on which to do a man - sized day’s work is like work­ ing out a jig-saw puzzle.

If the Government can convict a man and send him to the peniten­ tiary for from one to five years for failing to register for armv s rvice, or failing to appear for induction into the army, it seems tnat the same Government could compel tbs coal miner or munitions worker to stay on his war job or suffer tbe same penalty. It is a sorry rule that won’t work both ways. It is reported that some of tbe armv camps have too many doc­ tors. If that is true we wish Un de Sam would release a few medi cos, and send them to Davie coun ty. We are badly in need of two or three physicians. Our county has a population of 15,000 , with only two active physicians who are able to anfwer calls dav and nigbt It is needless to sav that these doc­ tors are carrying a heavy load, be­ ing on cbe job sometimes IS to 24 hours without rest.

Who's News This Week Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. ^ E W YORK. — In army circles ~ they rate Maj. Gen. Harold L. George as one of the best impromptu speakers in the service. He likes Ew a • r . to talk, hisH u Air T r a n s p o r t cou eagues C o m m a n d i s G e n . willtellyou, G e o r g J s P e t T o p i c well. He’s the chief of the air trans­ port command of the army air corps, and has been ever since its formation last July. Out in Anstralia the other day he likened the feats of his fliers to the tales of Joles Verne, and it wasn’t so long ago that he was picturing with delight how his men had flown the equipment for a 24-bed hospital to Nome, Alaska, after a fire had de­ stroyed its lone hospital. Just a year ago when he was made head of the ferry command of the army air corps, his major task was getting new planes from t!|e factories to wherever they were needed. Now he has that problem and a whole lot of others, such as flying troops and essential supplies overseas. He first learned about flying il World War I. A native of Soner ville, Mass., he was a student ii the law school at National university on April 6, 1917. A month later he was a second lieutenant of cavalry Fall found him training to be a flier, however. He won his wings in March, 1918, and the following Sep­ tember he was in France as a bomb­ing instructor at Clermont. Before the Armistice, he had been assigned to the 163rd aero squadron. After the war, he resumed his studies and won his LL B in 1920. His heart was In the army, however, and in 1921, he went back, this time to stay. Since his return he has been stationed at a lot of places, Kelly Field, Texas, the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, out In Hawaii, and down at Maxwell Field, Ala­ bama. They made him a cap­ tain in ’32 and a major in ’39. Meanwhile he had done plenty of flying. Fit and bronzed and with keen blue eyes, he looks every inch a flier. He’ll be SO this summer, but he seems a lot younger despite gray­ ing hair. •---- lTnHE man who has been swinging B Bolivia into war against Hitler Se Co. is a fighter and a believer in orderly government.

Today he is equally famous as an able president. When General Penaranda was elected chief executive in March, 1940, he depended on the ballots of his countrymen, not the mus­kets of his troops. For some years before that the stylish way to land in the presidential palace was by coup d’etat. His political opponents, on hearing the re­ turns from the polls, decided old methods were best. The gen­ eral promptly showed them he was still a warrior, and inaugu­ ration day found him taking’of- fice as scheduled and express­ ing his faith in democracy. Bom in the La Paz district 50 years ago, he entered his country’s West Point in 1907 and graduated a second lieutenant three years later. He became a captain in ’17, a major in ’21, and a colonel in ’32. The start of the war with Paraguay shot him swiftly to the top and three months after hostilities began he was made commander-in-chief. — *s— IpREE FRENCH circles offer a * double barreled explanation for the failure of the United States to clear up the muddle of Martinique and Vice M a r tin iq u e ’s ‘F o u r Admiral F a m i l i e J C o n t r p l George A l l b u t M t . P e l e ^obert- They saythe vice admiral is pro-Robert, but vnti-every thing else save the Four Families. These, they explain, boast of being the only truly white families on the island. The four families are in complete control, it is claimed, of 247,000 na­ tives and Martinique’s economic ex­ istence. The vice admiral could, If he would, make any deal without consulting Vichy to which he still vows loyalty. Vichy gave him full power in the French Antilles and authority to con­ clude any arrangement with the United States. He WUtered the French navy 50 years ago. The admiral, after an old French custom, has an assortment of names —George Achilla Marie-Joseph. He is 68 years old now, with a white, Dut-jutting spade beard,'and a tem­ per some describe as not unlike a hornet’s. Whether Martinique’s Social .Reg­ister is limited to a mere quartette of families is, probably, debatable, but independent reports of Vice Ad­ miral Robert’s speech made last year at Fort-de-France certainly made it and him anti-American. He gave the ‘’greed of Americans” a fine going over^XVi A s Y a n k s R i p p e d R o m m e l’s L i n e s i n T u n i s i a n H i l l s In picture at upper left an American sapper (kneeling at right) holds an Axis mine which he has just dug from the sand near Gafsa, Tunisia.

W td k e r CW Utt restore—Through special MrrsntAaeat w ith The Atoerieen Hsgasiae.) We were carrying some mighty, heavy stuff for Jerry in our big Flying Fortress. Leaving our home field in Eng­ land at six o’clock in the momjjpg, our objective was the submarine pens at Lorient, France. As we approached, somebody yelled “Flak!” and the anti-aircraft shells broke around us. At the same time the ball turret gunner shouted “Wolves coming up !’’He had sighted a dozen German fighters, Focke-Wulf 190s, climbing fast from downstairs. I held the ship steady on her course. A few seconds later Bombardier Bentinck pressed his bomb triggers. The giapt bombs fait exactly where he Iuw aimed them, in the middle of a platform between two subma­ rine pens. “Bull’s-eye!” he whooped ever the intercom. I never heard any­one sound so jubilant. Those were the last words Bentinck ever spoke.: The next second, everything hit. Us at-once. Things started happening much faster than I can tell ttein. FW s Take Us On. We were raked from end to end with flak. At the same tim ers swarm of FW s dived out of the sun. They came in like hornets, with 20-millimeter cannon and ma­ chine guns wide open. One burst of flak ripped into the nose. It killed Bentinck instantly. The same burst wounded Navigator Smith and knocked him uncon­ scious. A second burst ripped away (he doors of the bomb bay. Another burst sprayed around Co-pilot fell Reed and myself. That wasn’t half of It. Krucher, in the tail, had been hit. A cannon shell had tom a big hole in the hull turret Radio Operator Frishhqlz had a flak hole in the back of his head, and the radio room was on fire. No. I Engine Is Ont. The first broadside of flak smashed the drive shaft of No. I engine. The No. 2 had been hit on top and Was throwing off. It might catch me any second. Flak had knocked 'a big dent in tte propeller of No. !3, and No. 4 had a big hole in its base. I carried on with 3 and 4. The ship staggered and started faBfog behind tte rest of the squadron. I put the nose down and dived steep­ ly for the cover of some cknlds far below us. FW’s Close In For Kin. Seeing we were badly hurt, the FW’s closed in for tte kill. Then the boat really lived up to her name of Flying Fortress. We took plenty during tte next 60 seconds, but not half as much as we dished out. My waist gunner, Bill Stroud, took cate of the first one. It was so close that he could see the back of the pilot’s head. Stroud poured a stream of bullets into him. The IjTW went into a spin, and Stroud fol­ lowed him with burst after burst. A moment later another Jer­ ry eame under his sights, ffe poured steel into him, saw wm break up. Right waist gunner Berriqg was pumping 50-caliber sings at range. He, too, got a “proba­ ble,” a red-nosed FW which span down and out of . sight. Meanwhile tte wounded tail gpn- ner got a chance. While he was ly­ ing back there losing blood, an FW roared in to finish him off. Kruriier took steady aim and rapped out one long burst. It literally sawed the German’s wing off. He went down in flames. With the wind shrieking through the flak holes, we raced down, down, for that beautiful layer of riqnds. We made it. The remaining F^*s didn’t attempt to follow us into the clouds. ... Somehow or other, we limped home on our two engines and landed at an English airport near tte coast. Our wounded went to the hospital, and have now recovered. Bentinck—as great a bombardier as ever served in any man’s army_ was gone, but tte otter nine sfu s will soon be flying again. Our trip back was as big an Ad­ venture as our fight with the FW s. Coming out of the cloud cover,. Fe were down to 600 feet when we’saw the ocean again, then a large tdttn, which I recognized as Brest, one Al tte most strongly fortified places in France. I pointed the ship straight oyer Brest. We were so low that fee could see people staring up at us, but there were no fireworks. Crossing tte harbor, we passed right between two German destroy­ ers at anchor. They could have blasted us to blazes. THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. fortress I It Out Ie B. W alker Jrh special srrangdneat K aa Magazine.)

Mucfc has been said about the chances for a wide-open scramble in both leagues, due largely to the inroads of the draft. But it is be­ coming apparent that the lines are clearly drawn. Confining this week’s history-making, blood-curdling docu­ ment to the National league, we agree with the betting commission­ ers that the Cardinals and the Dodg­ ers are the teams to beat. And, further than that, the Cardi­ nals will be the National league en­ try in next fall’s World Series. Our complete selections for the senior circuit—which are as ridicu­ lous as anything' thought up by a tortured imagination—follow: National League. 1—St. Louis 5—New Tork 2—B rooklyn 6—P ittsb u rg h 3—C hicago 7—B oston 4—Cincinnati 8—Philadelphia The Cardinals were the best club in baseball last season and it is our opinion they are still the best in their league today. What other team can boast of as strong a pitching staff? They have Mort Cooper, Ernie White, Max Lanier, Howard Pollet and six or seven others who are good. They can'afford to lose four or five from this group and still have a fine staff left. Durocher Speaks Leo Durocher, as usual, doesn’t agree with the findings. Accordingtc Leo, “the Dodg­ ers will have a lot to say about it. And we’ll say it with high-class pitching and a flock of base hits. I think we have every bit as good a chance to win th e National league pennant as the Cardinals have.” Durocher ad­mits that St. Louis gets the edge in speed. But he isn’t giving anything away to the Cardinals’ pitching staff. He can point with pride to Wyatt, Highe and Head. This trio won 45 games last year and Leo figures them for closer to 60 games this season. One issue can’t be overlooked. Al­ though the Cardinals look better go­ ing in, the draft may change the pic­ ture in a hurry. They are a younger team than the Dodgers, with great­ er speed and snap. But don’t over­ look this—those extra years may come as a big help to Brooklyn with the eyes of the draft boards looking in the general direction of youth. The Chicago Cubs are due to trip up quite a few prognosticated who can’t see them finishing better than their sixth place of 1942. The point has been made that the Cubs have as good a pitching, staff as there is in the league. We can’t go along with this. Coop­ er, White, etc., with the Cardinals are too tough. The Cubs top hurlers are Derringer, Warneke, Passeau and Lee. In their prime it would be hard to find four greater stars. But they are no longer kids. In fact, their four careers add up to a total of SS years—an average of nearly 14 years each in harness. In 1942 these four Cub stalwarts won S3 games. It isn’t impossible that they may be good for 60 wins in 1943. But they will need better hitting support than they received last summer. The Case of the Reds The Reds for 1943 are an unpre­ dictable team. They have been picked for berths ranging from first place through sixth. They finished fourth last year. Their chief loss was Catcher Ray Lamanno who went into the armed services. Their main acquisitions are Eddie Mil­ ler, Braves’ spectacular shortfield- er, and Charley Brewster, Nashville star. With Philadelphia safely ticketed for last place, the Pirates, Braves and Giants are likely to finish un­ der a blanket. Mel Ott, capable manager of the Giants, will get everything possible out of his team, but it’s going to be hard to get along without men like Hal Schumacher, Johnny Mize, Har- ry Danning and Babe Young. New Xork will have hustle and some good pitching, but too many big guns are lost. I Frank Frisch will make every ef­ fort to lift his Pirates from last year’s fifth place, but he lacks the material to make them a strong contender for pennant honors. The loss of Pitcher Ken Heintzelman to the armed forces may be offset by the addition of Xavier Rescigno, who won 23 games for Albany, and Wally Hebert, who won 22 games for San Diego last season. And Rip Sewell, who won 17 in 1942, will be on deck. The Pirates finished fifth last sea­ son with 66 victories and 81 defeats. Their chances to improve seem rath­ er slight at the present Writrng. Farm er Plots Crop Acreage Under New A AA Program; Agency to Assist D rive, To M eet Record W artim e Production Committeemen Will Carry Grievances to War Boards; Goal Is to Raise Yields Per Acre; All Problems Will Be Dealt With on Local Basis. The 1943 farm er is on his honor! Like the boy taking an exam* ination a t school, it’s up to him and him alone. He’s strictly “on his own.” Under the 1943 agricultural adjustm ent agency plan, the farm er for the first tim e has the full responsibility for m easur­ ing his a c re a g e s on specific crops and reporting the results he gets. Form erly this was done by AAA employees, but the new scheme will conserve travel, cut down w ear and tear on tires and cars, and decrease the use of gas and oil. Now it is up to the farm er to check on his own fields. He appears to be happy about this change in program admin­ istration, departm ent of agricul­ ture reports show. While AAA committeemen :— th e m se lv es farm ers—will continue to give him every assistance, the re­ sponsibility for carrying out pro­ duction plans and doing his share in the national program rests with the individual opera­ tor. . Spot checks will be made periodi­ cally to determine the status of com­ munity and 'county production, and farmers are being asked to keep records and lay out their crops so that reports can be made easily and quickly. Goals this year call for about 9 per cent more production than in 1942. Basis for the 1943 AAA pro­gram to reach these goals is "local action.” It recognizes that the job of production adjustment—of shift­ ing crops to meet war needs and planning acreage to the best ad­ vantage—must be worked out and carried out on the individual farms. It can’t be done in Washington, say the committeemen. It must be done locally, to conform to the local situ­ ation. Instead of a national over-all goal "formula,” each state and county has been left free to adopt the means which seem best suited to the par­ ticular section concerned. Wide lat­ itude is given the committeemen in making goal assignments. They are not only allowed to determine such assignments on a "capacity of the farmer to produce” basis. They are expected to use such a yardstick. Capacify to produce varies accord­ ing to the character of the farm land, machinery and labor availa­ ble, and many other factors. Each region has its individual problems which must be taken into considera­ tion in determining what the specific area may reasonably do in a given period. A AA Com m ilteem an W ill K eep G oTernm ent Inform ed The role of the AAA committee­ man will be that of an important go-between who keeps the govern­ ment informed on the farmer’s prog­ ress and problems,,.and the farmer informed on what the government Com m itteem an w ill hear grievance. expects of him and what it is doing to help him circumvent obstacles that present themselves. Adjustment, the process of help­ ing the farm operator to scale his crop production upward or down­ ward to fit into the national agricul­ tural picture, has always been one of the major activities of AAA. It helps farmers meet production problems by providing guidance and assistance in producing the kinds of crops that are needed in the re­ quired amounts, working in co-oper­ ation with other units of the depart­ ment of agriculture. Communify farmer committeemen in 1942 totaled 89,000 regular elected committeemen and about 58,000 al­ ternates. Counfycommitteestotaled 3,029 with 9,08? members. The coun­ ty committeemen are responsible to the state offices, which in turn re­ port to the regional offices. Uncle Siam’s millions of farms depend upon the AA A. committeemen to keep them informed of changing phases of the over-all national program, of the state’s particular part in the 1943 farm plan, and of the numerous de­ tails having to do with production goals and how they can be met. AAA county chairmen are also chairmen of the Cotuity Farm Transportation committees, which issue certificates of war necessity for mileage rationing, and the Coun­ty Farm Machinery Rationing com­ mittees, which ration many types of farm equipment. In the matter of labor shortage, the community committees report localized needs to the county committee and war board chairman, the latter then car­ rying the problems on to the proper authorities. Chairmen of AAA state and coun­ ty committees head up the war boards which correlate Uie efforts of department of agriculture agencies to assist farmers in their war pro­ duction. Getting the right fields into the right kind of production and getting higher yields out of every acre through better farming practices is the basic theme of the committee­man’s work in 1943. Com m itteem an W ill H elp A rrange C ooperative A ction Among his activities is helping to arrange co-operative use of scarce machinery and co-operative trans­ portation programs. Many locali­ ties already have worked out suc­ cessful schemes for sharing trucks M r. Farm er’* on h it own. and trailers, as well as binders, combines, picking machines and other mechanical aids to planting and harvesting essential war crops. Facilities for storage of crops are sometimes another item for him to handle. Assistance in the various loan and purchase programs instituted by the Food Distribution administration and Commodify Credit-corporation is made available through the AAA committeeman. Increased produc­ tion of peanuts, soybeans, hemp (un­ der a special program), castor bean seed, Irish potatoes, and many oth­ er crops has been greatly aided by such programs. New applications for insurance on the 1943 cotton crop will be handled by the committee­ man, and he will in addition keep farmers'informed of the availability of loans, insurance and payments under the program. Program objectives of AAA also vary in certain instances from past planning. Emphasis is falling still more heavily on the need for better yields per acre. To achieve this, more attention is being given to pro­ duction practices which immediate­ ly increase yields. All-out activity in the use of lime and phosphate, contour cultivation and terracing, for example, is being urged. Over three-fourths of 1943 production practice payment funds for the country as a whole will be used to promote such "quick” helps to better crops. In the East Central region, about 80 per cent of such payments are going for promotion of this immediate-yield program.Production practices, reports show, are feeling the "localizing” in­ fluence just as are other branches of the AAA program. Formerly the rates of payment for different prac­ tices were worked out on what might be termed a national basis. This year the various regions determine the soil building allowances for the farms in their particular areas, with relation to the particular problems involved. In the Southern region each state has its own basis for de­ termining soil building allowances. Reason for this localization is ob­ vious. Production practices may be more easily adapted to the individu­ al areas and the individual farms within them. In turn, available funds may be used to the best advantage and with the greatest efficiency. Acreage limitations have been re­ moved on a number of crops which previously had such limits. Except for short staple cotton, tobacco and perhaps one or two other crops, farmers are urged id exceed their goals in 1943. This is particularly sm m m m m m mmmm W ill aid cooperative p lant. true of dairy products and meat. Goals for most crops are mini- mums, calculated as the least pos­ sible amount which will keep the na­ tional efficiency at a reasonable lev­ el, and at the same time provide for the,armed services and war plant workers and give assistance to America’s Allies. AAA committeemen and the farm­ ers, working hand, in hand, are do­ing their best to develop and carry through the most efficient and pro­ ductive individual farm programs they can. Problems of every sort stand in their way—labor, machin­ ery, transportation and material shortages being paramount. By their close personal co-opera­ tion, however, they make possible an equally close relationship be­ tween the farmer and his govern­ ment. j v America’s farmers have a tre­ mendous . production job ahead of them. Demands for food such as they are now attempting to fill have never before been made upon any nation. Last year they upped pro­ duction 12 per cent over ’41. Another 5 per cent increase is hoped for in ’43. Grandma Learns Blueprinting in Aircraft School In San Diego there’s one school in a great-building left over-from-the San Diego exposition—another in a church—another even in a once- vacant storeroom. They’re crammed With students the like of which has never been seen before. Two' grandmothers, one white haired, the other pink-cheeked and marcelled, bend together with com­ pass and rulers over adjoining desks. They are both learning to be me­ chanical draftsmen, to turn out their share of the ten acres of blueprints required to build a single flying b a t tleship. "How on earth,” you ask the Con­ solidated Vultee teacher, "do you manage to guess that a grandmoth­ er can learn some engineering, when she decides she wants to help in the war?” "It’s not so difficult at that,” you are told. “First we look for evi­ dence of artistic talent. Perhaps a woman has done painting, or draw­ ing, or fine arts design. Perhaps She laid a career aside to bring up a family. If she can draw, and if she is intelligent, we can easily teach her mechanical draftsman­ ship. She is straight on her way into the engineering department.” In California, where the airframe industry of the nation centers, lit­ erally hundreds of thousands of peo­ ple have gone to school, and are to- dpy at work doing precision jobs. Most of them were never before in a factory. In an age that has been called revolutionary, here we have the real revolution. The lure of wartime money is not enough to have done this. In San Diego, for instance, Consolidated early realized that the sort of work­ ers needed must be appealed to on the basis of their- patriotic willing­ ness to setae. Kentucky Once Government plans to grow nearly half a million tons of hemp annually promise to restore to Kentucky the hemp industry for which the state was first distinguished. Kentucky’s blue grass section was adapted to hemp. Seed had. come to the Colonies from Europe; Vir­ ginia supplied Kentucky’s early planters. In time practically all hemp in the United States was grown from Kentudqr seed. A generation Was Center of U. S. Hemp Industry ago, the state was still producing nearly a quarter million pounds of seed a year. Grown for its fiber, the hemp shoots up seven to ten feet, and 14 feet when cultivated for seed. Homespun cloth was woven from the fiber by wives and daughters of settlers. A later use of the fiber included the making of bagging, cot­ ton baling, rope and sailcloth. Early in the last century Kentudqr had a dozen mills making hemp bagging; 40 producing hemp rope for fast dip­ per, ships and oilier merchantmen, and for the growing U. S. navy. Lexington was a market for hempen goods* Foreign competition cut domestic output. Abaca, so-called manila hemp, from a plant of the banana family, made better rope at less cost. Jute supplanted hemp for many uses. Also Kentucky planters found tobacco a more profitable crop to raise. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY!CHOOL Lesson By HABOLD L. LUNDQUIST. D.

PETER AND JOHN LEADERS IN THE EARLT CHURCH LESSON TEXT—Acls 2:37-41; 3:1-3; 4:13; 18-21. GOLDEN TEXT—Now when they saw the boldness of P eter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they m arveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they bad been with Jesus.— Acts 4:13. Ooes the Church have a message for our day? Sometimes one won­ ders a bit, but a little thought indi­ cates that if it does not, it is not because Christianity has failed, but because Christian people have failed to declare the eternal and powerful truth of God. The primary respon­ sibility for any such failure must rest upon the leaders of the Church. It is instructive to see the qualities which made the leaders of the early Church effective for the Lord. In our lesson we And Feter and John doing three things. I. Declaring God’s Word (Acts 2: 37-41). Peter had just finished the first sermon preached in the Church, which was delivered at Pentecost. The declaration of God’s truth in the power of the Holy Spirit brought conviction of sin. It always does, although the outward indication of its working may not be as marked as it was on that day. Three thou­ sand souls were under conviction and asking what to do to be saved. What an opportunity for the preacher and his fellow worker, John. How did they meet it? By faithfully dtclaring the need of re­ pentance and faith, and then of fel­ lowship with others in the Church. One mark of a real leader for God will always be that he preaches and teaches the message of God without adulteration, without modification, and with plainness and simplicity. The kind of leadership which is often magnified in the Church today and which is largely made up of personal magnetism, “pep” and fast talk, is not real leadership at all. Test your leaders by their faithful and intelligent declaration of God’s Word. n . Conveying God’s Power (Acts 3:1-8).- “Channels only”—that is the func­ tion of the worker for Christ, the leader in His Church. As Mary Maxwell well put it: Channels only, blessed M aster, B ut with all !Iliy wondrous power Flowing through us. Thou canst use us Every day and every hour. Silver and gold was a scarce com* modity with Peter and John, as it has been with many, yes most, of God’s servants through the centu­ ries. But they did have the blessed privilege of being channels through which the healing, cleansing, re­ deeming power of God could flow— and that was infinitely better. The lame man had long since given up hope of anything better than the few coins he could beg at the temple gate. He was like many in our hard and practical age who see only the values that money can give, and thus miss the real blessing of God. God has for men-today, as He had for this beggar, that which is far better than gold—deliverance from sin and liberation from the limita­ tions of spirit which make them con­tent with the paltry alms of men. Peter and John were ready to be used of God because they were men who were not too busy to pray (v. I). Knowing the compassion of God they sought out the one in need, and by faith put the unlimited power of God to work on his behalf. God healed this man’s body, but what is more important, He healed his spirit (v. 8). We need that kind of healing for the weak-kneed, Iame- ankled, spirit-darkened individuals in our communities and our churches. We will have it only as our leaders are.m en and women who are cleansed—ready to be chan­nels for the conveying of God’s pow­ er to a needy world. m . Doing God’s WiU (Acts 4:13, 18-21). The way of life of God’s leaders is not an easy one, but it is a simple one. They do God’s will—nothing less, nothing more, and nothing else. What could be more delightful? . Peter and John had spoken the truth and declared salvation to be only in the name of Jesus (v. 12> Certain easy talkers within the Church who tell us that we must not be narrow but broad enough to see salvation in all religions, had bet­ ter read that verse-again. Because they had preached Christ, and for no other reason, they were imprisoned, then released on condi­ tion that they would not mention Him again. What a splendid op­ portunity for a smooth and comfort­ able compromise! They could preach but just leave out Christ. Did they do it? No! (w . 19, 20). Obedience to God was paramount W th them, and it must be with every genuinely Christian leader in the Church. Nothing else will do, nor will it have the blessing and ap­ proval of God.

W a r T a k e s 9 6 0 O f E a c h D o l l a r Out of e v e r y $18.75 that Is In­ vested in a War Bond, $18 goes into guns, planes, tanks, ships and other military equipment. The 75 cents goes for ordinary governmental expenditures. Out of every dollar 96 cento goes toward toe war effort and 4 eento goes for Government "business as usual.” The same ratio applies to an other securities the Government has offered investors in the Second War Loan campaign for 13 billion dollars. WhereWiIIMoney Come From? People ask: 4tWhere will the money come from?” to reach the thirteen-billion dollar ob­ jective of the • Second War Loan. The answer is simple. The people HAVE the income. When we produce munitions or peacetime goods, or any­ thing else, we likewise produce income. For every dollar of production, there is a dollar of income. The problem of war Snaace boils down to this—if individu­ als and businesses receive more income after taxes than there are things produced for them to buy, then excess funds arise. The government deficit is matched by Hie combined sur­ plus of everybody else. Hds surplus should be put Into Gov­ ernment securities to wipe out that deficit. They give their lives . . . Ton lend your money. What Is Inflation? Do you have excess cash? Tou will answer, "No.” But the fact remains that you do. For almost every wage earner these days has an income, in checkbook or pocketbook, well above the cost of his living, taxes, insurance and debt re­payments. Tou never actually "bid” against anybody for a porter­ house steak, but when you take the spending of all average Americans as a group, it’s a different story. So it is im­ portant that excess money bo saved rather than used collec­ tively to bid up prices. If it is spent, instead of saved, prices soar. . . That’s inflation. Ideally, it should be invested in Government securities dur­ ing the Second War Loan. "They give their lives . . . You lend your money.” People’s Pespcnsibility Eight billion dollars of the 13 billion dollars in this Second War Loan Drive must come from non-banking sources, so the responsibility for the bulk of this 13-billion-dollar drive rests with the American public. Indications are that Ameri­ cans generally need only to be reminded of this responsibility and how much they should lend thjir government in order to rto _ythis goal. Americans are the'r fighting men fronts. They are supportMU'the Second/ War Loan. “They'- give--4tg!& lives . . . You lend your money.” ★ ★ W k a t y o t i. B iu f W O k WAR BDIVDS One of the most essential articles of equipment for our soldiers is his canteen. In equatorial countries and in-other warm climes they are par­ ticularly important to the welfare of our fighting men. The canteen, now being largely manufactured of plastics, costs about 43 cento. The canvas cover . . . about 41 cents or 84 cento in uIL Your purchases of War Bonds, or People’s Bonds, will buy many of these for our men in the Solomons or in Africa where they are badly needed. Buy War Bonds every'pay­day . . . at least ten percent of your income. . . . through a Payroll Savings plan. V. S. Trtasur3 Dtfarlmeml Who Has The Moiey For 2 nd War Loan? "Where is all the money com­ ing from to meet Hie 13 billion dollars of the Second War Loan goal?” is a question heard on many sides. It win come out of Hie 45-billion dollar surplus earnings e l 1943, according to staHsHes reported by Treasury experts. During 1941 personal savings of individuals amounted to 9 billion dollars. During 1943 this surplus or prospective savings wUl increase by 36 billion dol­ lars over 1941 udien consumer goods were easy to get. Now that prices are high, thrifty people will make their goods last limger and place more money in War Bonds. O ur First A dd T est—W ar Bonds and W ar Taxes It’s A People’s War We are paying more in taxes Hian ever before . . . and likely will pay’ more. But we cannot 'rely on taxes to finance the war. It would not be fair to base a tax on the average single fam­ ily income when many families have more than one income. We could borrow all the money from the banks, but for both economic and social reasons this is undesirable. . The gov­ ernment would Hien sacrifice its greatest dam against infla­ tion. This is a People’s War and the people should finance it. The people WANT to finance it. Sale of War Bonds has mounted consistently since Pearl Harbor. Hiey give their lives . . . You lend your money. The goal of the Second War ! Loan drive is 13 billion dol- t Iars. That is just about one IifHi of the estimated Ineroaso of Hio Public Debt for the fls- ) sal year of 1943.

Such is unfit to live by and dangerous to die by. It will rob one of his God given peace and jov on earth and keep him out of heav­ en when he leaves this world. O that we might impress this solemn truth upon the minds and hearts of our readers: Perhaps yon ht.ve never thought of the seriousness of it. Think of it now. An ill will toward someone else means that you do not love him: that you have hatred in your heart toward him. that yon have hatred in your heart toward him, or to some degree at least; that you would like to get revenge, or would be pleased to see vengeance dealt out to him; that there is a hateful feeling in your heart toward him and you had rather see him sink than swim, fall than rise. Well, this is dangerous. You may never do your fellowman any hard whatsoever, but if von carry an ill will toward him in your breast it will keep yon out of the kingdom of heaven, and that is en. ongh to prove the seriousness of it. He may get to heaven while you while be shut out. No doubt an ill will in the heart toward another has caused much trouble. It has caused muder. Certainly. In fact when a man wilfully plans, aims-and purposes in his heart to kill someone, that means he has an ill will toward him. Such an ill will is to be re. pented of and given up, or life will be unbappy, and will be a failure. No man can enjoy tbe good things of God in his heart and soul if he carries an ill will toward another. Surely it will cast a shadow over his life. It will becloud his conscience. It will keep him from rising and climbing along life’s better way. What if you have been mistreat, ed by someone else? Wbat. if you bave been lied upon, or have suf­ fered injustice at tbe hands of an­ other? What if someone else has done you a great wrong, and Las caused you much trouble and heart­ ache? Will it help you to .carry in your inmost life an ill will to­ ward him? Would you be satisfied and receive a blessing, if you could get vengeance? Never. What God wants yon to do is to have so much of His marvelous love and grace In your heart and soul that you wil love everybody, do good for evil, and keep tbe sweetness of heaven filling and thrilling your inmost and outer life. Amen. This is life’s better way. A P eep A l O ld A dolph If I coaid take a peep a t oid Adelpb Fd cat his em pty head off. Doe to him w ith lack of brain H e's caused ne A m nicans lots of pain.

BACK UP YOURBOY B u y a n A d d ith u a l B o u d T e d a y The retail merchant has become the man in the middle—in the mid die of that no man’s land—where a fighting government collides with a fighting, consuming public. Both of these fighting elements are allies but like most allies, but like mast allies they don’t get along too well sometimes. A spoiled public which has been in tbe habit of getting what it wants when it wants it from an incredibly efficient retail distribution system, cannot be ex­ pected to don the baiter of short­ ages and be led about by dictato­ rial decrees without kicking the daylights out of a few regulatory fences. Unfortunately the retailers npon whose shoulders fall the re­ sponsibility of explaining and ap­ plying tbe restrictions, are the ones who get kicked most often. For that reason it is only fair to give them a pat on tbe back occasion­ ally. They deserve it. Retail distributors have shows amazing ability to interpret and put into practical operation literally thousands of new wartime. tnercb. andising regulations conceived by lawyers and experts with little or no merchandising experience. Most of the regulations carry heavy ail sentences and figes for violation. Laboring in the shadow of stiff penalties, thousands of merchants throughout the country work out the rules as they understand them, often without benefit of legal ad­ vice, and put them in force. They know it has to be done or tbe dis­ tribution system will break down, bringing disaster to tbe country. They try to explain this to custo mers, while striving to get tbe gov­ ernment to simplify and ease ine­ qualities in tbe rules. Neither tbe public nor most government ex perts actually comprehend the hea­ vy responsibility which retail mer­ chants bear in helping to ' maintain economic stability during the emer­ gency. Consutn-rs should be slow to cri­ ticize the retailer for inconvenien­ ces over which be has no control. Tbe government should constantly seek to make burdensome restric­ tions less onerous. And both the public and tbe government should be less quick to accuse retailers of evil intent when one of ten thous­ and rules has. been inadvertently violated.—Ex. C harlotte M an T urned D own fo r E ighth Tim e. Fred L. Huffman, director of the Charlotte war 8nd community ciiest, is back at his office for business as usual. He has.just returned from Camp Croft, S. C . where he was rejected for the eighth time for service in the armed forces. Seems he has an "athletic knee:’’ Twicenavydoctors have rejected him in effort to volunteer Thearmy did likewise once. Over a year ago tbe draft medicos at Fort Jackson, S, C , turned his down, and three subsequent examinations left him still in the 4-F classification. Community chest officials, this last time, didn’t bother to look around for a successor to Hoffman. They sort of expect him back. The Record only $1.00. To H asten V ictory No American wants this war to go one minute beyond the time we can bring it to a vic­ torious end. Te hasten that victory—to save possibly the lives of millions of our boys on our far flung fronts—it Is Imperative that every Ameri­ can do his part In tbe Second War Loan. There is an in­ vestment to fit every purse. The most yon can do Is little enough compared with the sac­ rifice offered by our boys far service. They give their lives —you lend your money. Does your soldier, coming home on fnrlough. have any special ideas a- bourhow things ought to be at home? You bet he does! And they’re not what you’d expect either. In camp, of course, he doesn’t have much chance to express his indivi­ dual preference, except in the mat­ ter of the cigarettes he buys at his Post Exchange or Canteen. But. when he’s on furlough, here’s a list (partial of course) of what Johnny Doughboy prefers: Girls: As always, some like ’em tall and some like ’em short, some like ’em blonde and some like ’em dark; but one thing they all agree on: a girl should be feminine. No mannish, tailored outfits; no slacks, please; and especially—no semi-mili­ tary clothes. Frills and furbelows —that’s the way to please the man on furlough. Movies: Nothing grim, thanks. He likes musicals, and service ad venture stories with good rousing ac. tion, and plenty of comic interludes- Cigarettes: Here’s o n e place where a soldier doesn’t have to wait till he goes on furlough to express h s preference. According to actual sales records right at the Post Ex­ changes and Canteens where every soldier can buy the brand of cigar­ ettes he likes, the favorite with men in the Armv (and in the Navy, Coast Guard, a n d Marines as well) is Cmel. Food: This one will astonish ve­ terans of the first World War, witb memories of "beans-for-breakfast, beans-for-lunch, and beans-for-din ner-too’’—but today’s furloughing soldier doesn’t get off tbe train witb visions of pies, steaks, or salads. He is served all those right in camp He’ll be happy witb any kind of good food. BUT—he wants it Berved on separate plates. Here’s why: In the Army, every­ thing is heaped onto one plate. His mess tray has compartments, to be sure, but they aren’t aiwayB suffi­ cient of a barrier to keep his salad out of his mashed potatoes, and hie steak away from his ice cream. Sc you see—separate plates! 1 Another thing to keep in m ind- after Johnny Doughboy has gone back to camp, (and all those dishes are washed up!) one gift from home that is always sure to bring cheers from Johnny is a carton of cigarettes. Of course, be sure you send him bis favorite brand. Tuck is a card, and vour cigarette dealer will be glad to wrap up your gift of Camels for mailing.

Tbe legislature passed a special bill giving Pete Murphv, of Rowan connty, $7 a da/ and his expenses to become Hason officers between the House and Senate If be made a single trip from one bouse to the other members know little about it. It was said tbat he never turned over bis hand to do a thing that looked like eaining tbat salary plus expenses But be has in years gone by been a faithful old horse in the partv and so had to be taken care of. Manv of the Representatives had either tbeir sons or daughter on tbe payroll. Mrs. Cover from Cherokee bad her daughter, Elea­ nor, on tbe payroll but it was said she never did find a job for her. Wavland Sprnill had a daughter drawing pay and Sherwood Up churcb. of Raleigh, former mem­ ber from Wake county, was on the payroll with no work to do to both­ er him, He usually sat at the left of tbe Speaker’s stand in tbe way of all the members who had to pass that way. Looking at tbe following list of employees it will be seen that the Democrats spent the people’s pay,, wrung from them in taxes, mighty freely and almost anyone who wish­ ed to do so could find a place on the state’s payroll, one of the mem­ bers said. A checkup ot tbe lists of em­ ployees certified to the state 1 audi. tor’s office to draw their checks during the sessions revealed a total of 302 names—i n in the bouse and 79 in tbe Senate. Even allow­ ing for the fact that more than one Derson may have filled tnis session, the total of 203 still stands as an extremely high one.—Ex. L et U s P ray fBy Rev. Loy D. Thompson) It was Charles W. Elliott, one time president of Harvard University, who said: ‘‘Prayer is tho transcent act of human intelligence.” Hig thought WaB that the mind of man occupies tbe highest level of ad­ vantage and function when it is ac tivelv engaged in prayer. We are to use our intellects not in business and college but in religion. We are to use our minds not only in social contacts and stateacraft but in de­ votional life. We are to think not only in the scientific laboratory but in the act of prayer. Let us not get the idea that prayer is that realm where only faith is necessary. Along with faith we must have thought and meditation. For in prayer we think God’s thought after him. Our mind habits are important are important prayer. If we have lived in such a way tbat we have trained our mindB to think consecu­ tively. if we have learned the secret of disciplined though we shall find prayer more interesting and often more fruitful. At tbe same time the most disciplined mind will be in­ terrupted ever and anon by extra­ neous thoughts and unwelcome sug­ gestions. Tbismay not necessarily mean that we are bad but it may re­ flect our habit of not controlling our thoughts in common everyday life. It may show defeat in our mental everyday life. It may show defeat in oar mental training and lack of of intellectual control. Centainly it should cause us to realize that we need the help of God in our daily lives as well as in our prayer life, Our prayers need not be logical, or scholarly, or ornate, but they should befrought with profound earnest­ ness and characterized by serious thought. "Finally, brethren, what­ soever things are true, whatsoever things' are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things, are of good report; if there be any. praise, think of these things.” Tbis is a great background for prayer.

He’ll keep on a kicking and call all a "sell,” ’till a kick from St. Peter will land bim in—well, are you a kicker? M ore C onfusion Rubber Director William M. Jef­ fers stated tbe other day that tbe rubber situation was progressing sat­ isfactorily and to the point where with public Co operation tbe rubber problem would be behind us in an­ other year. But War Information Director El­ mer Davis comes to bat with the pre­ diction that the rubber situation will become worse before it becomes bet­ ter, thus supporting the whisperings in Washington that the military de­ mand for gasoline would greatly in­ terfere with the program of getting synthetic rubber from petroleum products, tbe field the :.ovemimnt has chosen for its main activities in that direction. Considerable feeling has been gen­ erated between tbe two beads, and it may be neces ary to Iop off one or both of them. This sort of thing seems to be the rule, rather than ex­ ception. with the result that tbe public is left in utter confusion a- bout whom to believe. There is this about it, however, the people have been misled so much about rubber tbat it is natural for them to con­ clude that maybe Elmer Davis is dish­ ing it out straight. Anyhow, it is highly desirable that Washington officials get tbeir facts straight and then make a noise tbat sounds like co-operation. If Elmer Davis is getting his facts from re­ ports that are seven weeks eld and therefore undependable, as Jeffers, says, then tbat ought to be easy to correct. Making faces at each other, and daring somebody to knock the chip off some other shoulder, is silly and serious business right now when we have something more more im­ portant to do. If motorists can’t get tires next year, they can take it. Let them eonclude that somebody is messing things up in Washington, and no teliing wbat will happen.— Statesville Daily. / f r U -S-W A R B O N I THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C.

T. to historians) swung to the head of the circus parade after Jenny Lind Fr I-L a T Kr . had trilled U n ltk e P . T New through one C ir c u s C h ie f C a n hundred and D o O w n W a r b lin g Aftygolden nights for his $1,000 per night performance. The new president of Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey’s swings in front after lifting his own baritone voice in song for many years. Robert Ringling was an op­eratic star, too. And good! “Why not?” his mother said when he start­ ed in the family business a few years ago. “He can’t go any far-; ther in opera.” Taking the presidency of his fam­ ily show, Ringling preserves a fam­ily tradition sixty years old and over. The seven Ringling brothers, Df whom his father was fifth, rolled their first little acts out of Baraboo, Wis., in 1882. In an era of trusts they got the idea quickly, bought Barnum and Bailey’s and finally merged it with their own. Robert Ringling, for upwards of thirty years, watched their performances with no interest at all. Barring four years spent in hobbles after winning a high school football game at the price of broken hip bones, he went right on becoming a singer. He made his debut at twenty-five in Tampa, Fla. He sang all over Germany, and then with the Chi­ cago Civic Opera. He had a rep­ ertoire, count ’em, of 194 roles, the best of them Wagnerian. Since 1939 he has been chiefly with the circus. Age will hardly stop him. He is only 46, stocky, be­ spectacled, gray-haired and quiet. And certainly he isn’t likely to find a bigger job. He heads up the vast­ est amalgamation of marvels, mas­ todons and muscularity man has ever seen. Tarquin the Younger would pop his eyes to see what has grown out of a few simple tricks he thought up 2200 years ago to make a Roman holiday. DR.

His wife was Miss Mary Alice ShofEer of Ot­ tumwa, Iowa. Evatt was a brilliant member of the Australian High Court bench until the war came on and he quit to help, more directly in the good fight. He had reached the bench at 36, the youngest man ever appointed to such a court in all the British empire. Forty-nine now, he is recognized as one of the commonwealth’s first scholars, historians and ju­ rists. These last three years he has been a member of Prime Minister Cur­ tin’s Labor government, and it is as minister of external affairs that he comes to the United States. This is not his first visit. A lecturer in philosophy and English, he has spo­ ken often at various American uni­ versities. ^ OW that Sir Richard T. D.

AU four lost, but even so the vote was too close for comfort. Tall, spectacled, baldish at 37, Ac- Iand talks about his new party as though it combined the ripe virtues Df the Townsend plan and Louisi­ ana Long’s Every-Man-a-Millionaire rlub plus some choice Russian cut tings. “We want,” he says, “to amalgamate Russia’s economy with our own political system.” One of his notions is that old- Echool millionaires are finished. In proof he un-millionaired himself last February, gave his total interest in 17,000 acres of the storied Lorna Doone country to the National Trust. A cozy $80,000 inherited from his fa­ther went into the hopper, too. He proposes to support his wife and two sons on his pay as a member of parliament and his earnings- as a writer. He attended both expensive Rugby and more expensive Oxford, but un­ less he whips up a best seller pretty soon, the sons are likely to miss both. There have been Aclands in Eng­ land for 800 years. For half that time the family has held a title. Sir Richard is the 15th baronet of the line. An ancestor, stout royalist, fought the American Revolution. No less than 13 of Sir Richard’s living kin have made themselves notable. But for the last two generations the beads of the family have been un­ easy in their ease.

W HEN Director King Vidor began telling Brian Don- Ievy about Ellis Island, the day Brian did his first scenes for “America,” he replied “Bet I know more about Ellis Island than you do.” Seems that in 1911 he returned to the United States from Ireland with his mother; unaware that she had to pay a head tax before being re-admitted, she’d spent all her money. A phone call to her husband in Sheboygan Falls, Wis.', would have settled the matter. But as she had a hot Irish temper, she insisted on arguing with all the officials. “So they put us in a cor­ ner and ignored us until Mother cooled off,” said Donlevy. “That was two days later!” Bruce Bennett, on location with" Humphrey Bogart for “Somewhere in Sahara,” received a letter ask­ ing him to become a Pan-American co-ordinator.

Julie Bishop steps into excellent company—and into her first starring role, as well—in “Dark Eyes” ; Bette Davis and Ann Sheridan have the other two principal roles. It’s a hi­ larious comedy, made from a New York stage success; the girls will be seen as impoverished Russian gentlewomen, who write a play and Sien try to get backing for it. Samuel Goldwyn announces that he’s looking for “the 16 most beau­ tiful girls in the world” for his mu­ sical, “Dp In Arms,” introducing Danny Kaye to the screen. Gold- wyn-picked beauties go far. Betty GrabIe and Lucille Ball got their first screen breaks as Goldwyn girls; they were in “Whoopee” and “The Kid From Spain,” with Vir­ ginia Bruce and PaaIette Goddard.

Large crap; ★ It at Hitler! A SERIES OF rSPECIAL ARTICLES BYTHE LEADING WAR CORRESPONDENTS! American Submarines By Frank Gervasi f W NlT Feature—Through specie/ arrangement w ith Collier’s W eekly) Dozens of American submarine commanders have made records in the Pacific. Their roster grows ev­ ery day. There are proportionately more Navy Crosses in the subma­ rine service than in any other branch of the navy, and for this there are many reasons. The submarine is an American weapon, invented and now perfected by Americans. Our men understand what the submarine can do, and they employ it as what it is—an of­ fensive weapon of irresistible hitting power.Most important of all, however, is that fact that German U-men are ordered or "sent” into action in ships lacking even elementary com­ forts and unequipped with any safe­ ty devices. Our men "go.” They love the submarines, and spend as much time telling you how safe they are—"safest ships' afloat”—as fliers will say in describing the good qualities of our planes. Submariners and fliers are the most weapon-proud men I’ve met in this war. There is evidence of the subma­ riners’ contention concerning the safety of our submarines. Since the war began, the navy has reported the loss of only six undersea boats, including the ArgonauL Submariners Quiet About Exploits. Concerning their exploits, how­ ever, submariners are invariably mum, and no matter how well you might be prepared to contend with a submariner’s economy of words, his reticence will still surprise you. A quiet "Very well” is the accus­ tomed acknowledgment of all orders, disasters, communications and mis­ sions aboard ship. A torpedoman might come to the control room with news that the aft and the forward torpedo room is flooded, and he would probably obtain from the skip­ per nothing more than a “Very well.” This reticence, however, as ad­ mirable as the submariners’ cour­ age and ingenuity and calm efficien­ cy, has contributed to the neglect which was the lot of the service until war came. EQdebound naval traditionalists with limited imagina­ tion couldn't see the submarine as anything more than an adjunct of the battleships and cruisers. To the horse-and-buggy naval strate­ gists of yesterday, the submarine represented merely a scouting and observation auxiliary weapon which might, with luck, sometime surprise and sink an enemy ship; Our Sub Force December 7,1941. And on December 7,1941, we had, for a major sea power, a tbird- ctring submarine force. Theoreti­ cally we had 113 submarines, with 73 building and 23 more scheduled to be constructed. Actually, how­ ever, there were substantially less than 100 submarines in service. Thirty-five subs were of the S-type which were found to be unsatisfac­tory and had been withdrawn for re­fitting. Out of the total of submarines available for duty, roughly only one- third could be spared for action against the Japanese. With our declaration of war on Japan, the picture changed rapidly, although not fast enough to suit our submariners. In May, 1942, an addi­ tional appropriation was made by congress for the construction of 200,- 000 tons of submarines which are now coming off the ways in yards on both coasts at a rate surprising to the layman but still unsatisfac­tory to submarine commanders. U. S. Subs Sink 82 Jap Ships. Even the publishable figures ap­ pear to support their point of view. Up to August of last year, American submarines had sunk or damaged 82 of the 219 Japanese ships sunk by all weapons. This represented 37 per cent of the total. Our subma­ rines accounted for 27 per cent of all enemy warships sunk, and for 6Q per cent of all noncombatant ship­ ping sent to the bottom. The submariners’ record im­ proved as more boats entered service. Tfhe navy department has credited our submarines . with having sunk approximately 1 180 Japanese vessels of all cate­ gories. Written down beside the total num­ ber of United Nations ships sunk by German U-boats, the admitted 180 sunk or crippled by our own subs in the Pacific might not seem so star­ tling. But every Jap ship sent to the bottom represents a proportion­ ately higher loss than the equiva­ lent in American or British tonnage. The reason is simple: The Japs send supplies to Uieir overseas troops only when absolutely neces­sary. The Jap soldiers fight on less food, medicines and other nonmili­ tary supplies than their American or British counterparts. @ Put Health Into Menus With Vitamins Plus Crisp greens give you plenty of vitamin A, B and C. Assemble them in your salads and get plenty of health insurance—you don’t need points to shop for these. What’s the pep appeal of your meals these days? It should be bet­ter than ever be­ fore with spring vegetables dotting the markets col­ orfully in greens, yellows and reds. M any vitam in and mineral laden fruits are just coming into season so you home­ makers should have no trouble get­ ting your quota of two fruits, two vegetables and a citrus fruit into your family’s diets. In winter it is sometimes extreme­ ly difficult to meet that nutrition requirement because of the scarcity of vegetables and fruits and their consequent high prices. Now, though prices are higher than last year at this time, they are abundant, and most of us can afford to spend the extra money required to buy them. Perhaps, you have a garden this year. You’re probably planning to put up most of the produce, but you always have some crops available for immediate consumption' such as lettuce, tender green shoots of on­ ions, etc. In some parts of the coun­ try it’s a bit early for some of these to make their appearance, but when they do, up and at them! Homemakers are fortunately be­ coming more and more conscious of the importance of fruits and vege­ tables in the diet, and the more so they become, the more healthy will become each generation of Ameri­ cans. Even those of you who have been deficient in these foods during the growing years will get much benefit from including these foods in your diet A heavy meal calls for the light, crisp, "just right” feeling which fruits and vegetables supply. Remember vitamins and minerals work hand in hand to give your body health and to keep it in good workable order. Most vegetables have many of both minerals and vitamins. It is in­ teresting to know that greens (let­ tuce, parsley, watercress, turnip greens, etc.) are rich not only in iron that makes for good, rich blood, but also in vitamin A which pro­ motes good health of skin, eyes, and keeps you buoyant and full of en­ergy. The greens get a nice big star for being rich In Vitamin C, necessary for health of teeth and bones, and for quick healing of wounds. Don’t be surprised when the greens come in for a nice share of honors for vitamin B.' also. That’s the vitamin necessary for normal nutrition. Easiest way to keep most of the vitamins intact is to serve the vege­ tables raw—as you would in a sal­ ad. The same goes for fruits. Don’t let either of them soak in wafer or stand uncovered in the refrigerator —the vitamins seem to evaporate quickly, especially in the case of vitamin C, so easily lost by cooking or leaving exposed to air. Lynn Says: Fresh as a Day in May: So will be yfeur foods if you keep them properly refrigerated. Desserts to cool you off and keep your ap­ petites unjaded, if they’re to be frozen, belong right in the freez­ er. Meats and fish are safest kept right under the freezer in a meat-keeper if you have one. Milk, cream and beverages are stood alongside the freezer unit. Custards, puddings, butter and staples fill the middle section nicely, are easy to get a t Leftovers, foods prepared ahead, salads, some fruits and berries are well refrigerated when kept on one of the lower shelves. The humidor or crisper means just that for it keeps those fresh fruits and vegetables crisp and well refrigerated. The storage bin at the bottom of the refrigerator is usually non­ refrigerated, and gives splendid storage to cereals, crackers and extra beverages.

Cracks in Varnish Question: Why should tiny cracks have developed on my furniture? My piano and dining-room furniture have these all over. These cannot be from low temperatures, for in cold weather I keep my heat at about 76 degrees. Also, I have pails of water on all the radiators. How can the furniture be refinished? Answer: Cracks of that kind are very fine and usually only on the surface of the varnish. The cause is in sudden changes of temperature. Seventy-six degrees is rather high for ordinary living conditions, and when everything is heated to that temperature, the cracking appears when the temperature drops, as would be the case at night, or on the opening of a window. The damage can be overcome by light rub­ bing with fine sandpaper, to be fol­ lowed by wiping with turpentine to remove the dust, and then applying a thin coat of varnish. Loose Windotro Question: Our windows are very lose in their frames. How can they be tightened? Answer: The room side of the groove in which the sash slides is formed by a strip of molding that is nailed to the window frame. This strip can be taken off and replaced to press more tightly against the sash. When windows are loose, by far the best cure is to put on metal weatherstrips of the kind that fits into groves cut in the edges of the sash. This not only stops all rat­ tling, but keeps out drafts and dust. For good results these strips should be put on by specialists, who have the necessary tools. Killing Tree Roots Question: Having cut down a large tree, how can the roots be killed so that we can plant another? Answer: Roots can be killed with salt and by other means, but nothing could be planted until enough time had gone by for the chemical to be carried deep into the ground by the rain. Your best move will be to dig out the roots to a depth of two feet or so. The roots that remain will rot out and not interfere with the new growth. As an alternative, you may find someone in your neighbor­ hood who has a mechanical stump- puller and can do the job for you. Galvanized Gutters Question: Will you advise me re­ garding paint for galvanized gutters and spouts? They have been up for two years, unpainted. We want to put on the proper priming coat be­ fore having this metal work painted along with the house. Answer: After cleaning and re­ moving traces of rust, if any, coat the gutters and spouts with a good quality red lead paint. Allow a week to ten days for this paint to dry. Follow with house paint Insulating a Cottage Question: In building a one-story and attic wood cottage with four rooms and bath on the first floor, what kind of insulation (rock wool) would you advise? Could I do the job myself? Answer: Use any one of the stand­ ard brands of rock wool, and since the house' is in the course of con­struction, batts should be used. AU the work can be done by yourself. Use batts with a vaporproof paper covering. Dry Rot Question: What is the cause of dry rot? What should be done to check and prevent it? ;.Answer: Wood exposed to con­ tinuous dampness stimulates a fun­ gus growth in the wood, which turns it into powder. A thorough circula­ tion of air or coating the lumber with a coal tar creosote or other chemical wood preservative wiU check the condition. AU rotted wood must be scraped off before applying the preservative. Rust Remover Question: How can I remove rust from my smoothing iron? How can I take a rust stain from a silk slip? Answer: For your iron, soak the rust with kerosene, and rub with fine emery paper. At an automobUe ac­ cessory shop you can get rust re­ moving Uquids that are very satis­ factory. For the sUp, you can use iron-rust soap, to be had at a drug store. Cleaning Brickwork Question: Carpenters burned tar paper in a new fireplace, and the bricks are black with soot. How can it be removed? Answer: Scrub with a thin paste of a scouring powder with water and ammonia. Rinse well.

A Quiet Election Last Tuesday was election day in luocksville, but the public didn’t seem to know or care anything a- bout it. There was but one ticket in the field, which was headed by T. I. Caudell to succeed bimself as mayor, and five aldermen, four of the former board, and Dr. F. H. Mason, a new member. Out of the nearly 600 registered voters in the town, we are informed that only 66 votes were cast. Wbat this town needs is two tickets in the field. That would result in most of the voters going to tbe polls and ex* pressing the r sentiments.

Electric Wiring Mater* ial Made Available An estimated 15 Iarma along pow­ er lines operated by the Davie Elec- trie , Membership Corporation will likely be connected for service as result of the War Production Board order making farmstead wiring ma­ terials available. according to Mr. W. L. Jones, system*superintendent. Farmers who want electric service as a means of increasing food pro­ duction should now be able to ob> tu n wiring materials without diffi­ culty. Mr. Jones Raid, provided they can meet tbe animal unit require­ ments of a previous WPC order per­ mitting farm service connections. Although 15 farm members of, tbe system have already applied for cun* nection and three services have been installed in recent weeks. Mr. JoiieB reported that many farmers hesita­ ted to take advantage of tbe prev­ ious order because they didn’t know how thev were going to obtain ma­ terials to wire their farm buildings. ‘To establish she right to obtain wiring materials, a farmer need on­ ly show that be is going to make ef­fective use of electricity to help ov­ ercome tbe aoute shortage of vital foods.” he said' ‘'A farmer must bave at present or assured produc­ tion capacity of at ieast five animal units—for example, five milch cows, or a combination of different types of livestock and poultry to make the required total. (Jp to 100 feet of line per animal unit is allowed, but no extension may exceed 5,000 feet in length without special WPB per­ mission Our organization stands ready to help any farmer prepare his application for a service connection or for wiriug materials.” The first step in obtaing electric service, Mr. Jones pointed out, is to seek the approval of the county US- DA War Board for a service connec­ tion. Such approval is necessary be­ fore a priority on farmstead -wiring material) may be had. In announcing the new regulations on wiring. WPB emnbasized that materials were not to be made avail able “exclusively to furnish electric­ ity for household lighting.” This viewpoint is supported by tbs animal unit requirement, which involves de­ finite assurances on the part of the farmer applying for a service con­ nection that he possesses, or can ob­ tain without priority, at least one of the following electric devices or fa­ cilities: water pump for livestock,. milking machine, milk cooler incu-1 bator, feed grinder and dairy sank, tation equipment. .

A fish shed burns, apparently killing an old man named Brown who is supposed to have lived there, and Uncle WylietS pipe is found near the burned shed.

Now continue with Judy’s story. CHAPTER X Victor’s hand was on the door­ knob. “You keep close to me, Judy.” I flushed again. “But I don’t see —we could always get them to give us a sample oi their penmanship. I remember the funny capital F in •Friend; it had a flourish on it.” Victor might have been speaking to a child. “The point is, my dear, that the comparison is no longer important—with the original gone. But it lets Lane and Brown out, in a way, and a possible third-party killer in. Don’t you see?” “I thought you believed that all the time, the way you were question­ ing everybody, Mr. Quade.” “Let me handle this. You keep mum. Maybe I’ll spring a trap. Bills are from all over the country, and none in sequence, just as I sur­ mised. Smart boy, this criminal!” He reached over and laid a hand on my shoulder. “Be careful, won’t you?” “I’ll stick like a burr,” I smiled thinly, following him out into the hall. Then I hurried upstairs and stuck the cash in my bureau drawer and raced down. Chowder or no chowder, I was going with the bunch this time. They could eat canned soup if Auntie couldn’t manage alone. Besides, Victor had whetted my curiosity almost as much as my fear by the warning he’d given me. I had no intention of staying behind and being grabbed and searched by some unknown assassin while the menfolk were down by the Pirate’s Mouth. I simply couldn’t believe the murderer was one of our guests, and my own guess would have been that Lane was responsible. We found the gang gathered around Albion Potter, who was dab­ bing at his little church picture. “Your aunt gave me some kero­ sene,” he beamed. "Ain’t it swell?” shrilled Lily Ken­ dall. “Fine,” I said, wondering who on earth would want it after what had happened there. “If you like it, I’ll give it to you, Miss Jason,” Potter said shyly. “Well, I’d be delighted, Mr. Pot­ ter.” I tried to sound sincere. “Do one for me and I’ll pay you $25,” Lily said. ‘Tm 'dyin’ to have one to show my niece.” “Twenty-five dollars!” Albion was overcome. “Miss Kendall, I’ll be­gin it at once. Unless Judy—Miss Jason,” he corrected himself hur­ riedly, "will let me give you this one and do her another. Fact is, I could use that money for an easel.” "Sure. Sell every chance you get.” I ran down the steps where Mr. Quincy was thumping his cane and hollering, “Well, well—what are we waiting for?” We were waiting for Hugh Nor- cross. He fluttered an orange square of silk at his sister. “Tie your hair up with this, Bess. You’re right, that blue scarf has vanished. What of it? Get another for half a dollar.” "You could not. I paid two-seven­ ty-five for that scarf last Christ­ mas. And it isn’t in any of my things, because I’ve hunted.” “Well, it doesn’t matter,” Hugh said crossly. “I wish you’d cheese it about that old scarf in the midst of—” They started on ahead. Bessie, although the morning was growing warmer every minute, so that I was comfortable in my sleeveless print, still wore her bespotted white sports coat. The minister’s eyes kept glancing over his shoulder at Mr. Quincy, who worked his wheels while Lily Kendall guided the chair. She kept up her incessant chatter with all of them, but especially Mr. Potter. Could he do a portrait of her in her pink lace with crystal beads? No, the crystals, come to think of it, were broken. The jet would do. He could? She offered him $50 and he said, boy! would I wait for my church picture till he’d earned that? “Gladly.” “You, or rather, Mrs. Gerry, will get some of it back. If—if I ge.t a few commissions, I’ll stay longer at the Head. It’s so beautiful here.” I glanced at him and smiled. Maybe some of the other boarders would follow suit and Aunt Nella’s season wouldn’t be ruined, after all. But as we neared the cliff where you take the treacherous path down into the Pirate’s Mouth, he held back, shaking his head. “Not for me. I’ve that what-d’you-call-it-pho- bia—when you’re afraid of high places?. I wouldn’t go down there for even $100.” “Nor I,” Bessie agreed, drawing back. “Why should anybody go down?” I askej. "You can see into the Pi­ rate's Mouth by coming over to this rock and leaning over. You do it, Mr. Quade. Mr. Norcross or Mr. De Witt will hold your legs. Likt kissing the blarney stone.” "I’ll look. Lemme. I don’t get hydrophobia,” Lily screamed. We had to laugh, and it relieved the tension. Victor Quade lay down on the rock, but Lily grinned back at us. “Oh, go ahead and laugh. High, ain’t it? Of course I know hydro­ phobia is really what they call it when people play sick all the time. Like my niece, before she got in pictures. What I meant was cliff- tomania.” She flung her full bulk alongside Victor, till'I held my breath lest she shove him into the deep. But in an­ other moment Victor rose, shaking his dark head disappointedly. “Nobody down there on that shelf. Not a thing, so far as I could see, with the fissure at the far end and the ocean below. What a frightful place! Either way, a thin person might roll off into the sea.” “Used to be called Lovers Nook,” Bessie sighed. She walked away rapidly toward the church steps, with Hugh following to console her, as per usual. “Won’t somebody help Miss Ken­dall up?” I asked. But Lily yelled, “Don’t touch me! I - I can get up myself.” It took her quite a time. The men turned away, politely, while the hot VSCEP Sffir She IIiing her full bulk alongside Victor. roistering land breeze played with her ballooning skirts. But finally the behemoth came panting up to me. “Somethin’s rotten in Denmark!” she hissed. “Keep away from that Quade feller!” Keep away from Victor? What could she mean? I was dying to make her be more explicit, but she shook her rigid marcel at me for­ biddingly. “Not now!” This time the hiss, whispered so that I don’t see how anybody could have failed to over­ hear it, was a command. It’s only a few steps from the top of the cliff overhanging the vi­ cious Pirate’s Mouth to the site of the Quaker church. The inn guests were making toward Bessie and Hugh, seated on the steps. Victor came back beside Lily Kendall, who immediately switched to the other side of me. “Great bootleggers’ cache—that big shelf of rock, Judy.” “Yes. Uncle Wylie- said the coast guard found some stuff hidden down there during prohibition. Tlie boot­ leggers, fesirirg a raid, hsd tried the Pirate’s Mciulli, fel somebody must have tipped them off.” Victor wasn’t Jocldng at me, I no­ ticed. He was watching Lily Ken­ dall. Why? She was marching, eyes and bosom front, like a grenadier. “Well, even the police wouldn’t find anything *oday,” he sighed, giv­ ing her a side glance. She only pressed her lips tighter together. “What did you expect to find— Roddy Lane?” I asked. “Or old man Brown?” Mr. Quincy spoke up. He was looking at his watch. “Why, it’s only five minutes of 9. Never saw a morning last so long or fly so fast, either.” “I’m practically starved,” Bessie called. “Hugh wants a look at the golf club Mr. Quade says he saw in the basement. Then we’re going back to the inn. I’ve got to have an aspirin.” “Why don’t you go along back now?” Victor asked. “I’m sure—er —Miss Kendall will be glad to go with you.”“Sorry. Miss Kendall stays.” This was the first time I’d heard Lily snap out of her kittenish role. “With the gang,” she added, her lower lip protruding till she looked positively menacing. “Wise lady,” Victor shrugged. “I’ll wait for my brother,” Bessie said with finality. “Are we all to go down to that horrible cellar?” “Why, of course not. Better if nobody went,’* Victor explained. “There is a club there. May be your brother’s, maybe not. Doesn’t prove a thing either way. What I thought was blood may be rust, per­ haps, though I don’t think so. The police will be ripping if we mess around too much. This is certain— none of us wants to leave fresh prints on anything down there.” “I wish I could go!” Thaddeus Quincy regretted plaintively. “Take the same committee you had be­ fore and have another look, Quade. And you men do what he tells you. He’s up in this murder stuff and the rest of us aren’t.” “Thanks for that double-edger. Victor Quinn accepts the compli­ ment. Victor Quade has his doubts.” I gave Victor the key and the crowd piled into the little old musty church. Goodness! How dark it was! The cobwebby windows, with their darkly stained glass, showed scarce­ ly any light at all. The vestibule was light enough where the sun streamed through, but save for that bright patch of searchlight sun down the main aisle, the pews were al­ most in a tomb till your eyes got— did I say tomb? Tomb is right! Lily astonishingly took command. “Why should the men have all the fun? Come on, Judy Jason. We ain’t murderers. We don’t play golf. Let’s us take a peek. Why give the real killer a chance to take his hanky and give the stick a swipe?” Good idea, several conceded. Vic­ tor didn’t like it. He was afraid we’d disturb the position of things, but Lily was already waddling down the main aisle. The Rev. De Witt surprised us by announcing he was going outside with his glasses to take a squint at the bridge. The milkman might be ear­ ly. Picnickers might be arriving at the Head. Was it likely everybody was sleeping late after the night- before celebration? And, look, he’d seen boats in the harbor. Not close, of course. But couldn’t we signal? Build a fire—? He stopped, remem­ bering last night’s, I suppose, and the uselessness of such procedure on the Fourth of July. “Go along out and shoot off a cou­ ple of rockets,” the artist added facetiously. Shall we help him, Mr. Quade?” “Why not? You’ve no call to stay here. It’s occurred to me that the auction—” That’s all I heard. Lily and I took the narrow crooked basement stairs. She had to turn sidewise, once, but she made it. I was glad Victor had given me back my flash­ light. Even by daylight, that dank, rocky floored hole is spooky. Lily stood quaking on the bottom stair while I tiptoed to the sea chest, closed now, and as innocent-looking as when I’d knelt in front of it and tried to wheedle the lock with a bobby pin. Only now the lock hung open. I played my torch down the space between the chest and the wall. Sure enough, there was the golf club! I didn’t want to touch it. The blood was unmistakable. It gave me the jitters. “Come here, Miss Kendall. Look at this.” She came, quivering, and leaned down to pick it up. “Wait.” I handed her my hand­ kerchief. “Use this. Just see if there are initials on the end and put it right back.” "Plain as day!” Lily gasped. “But I don’t believe that nice Mr. Nor- cross did any killin’—not after what I saw in—” t . “Hurry up, you girls.” We both whirled at the sound of Victor’s voice. Neither of us had heard him come down the stairs, but there he stood. I could hear the babble of voices above and the lash­ ing of the sea outside. "Coming,” I said, but Lily stood glaring at him. “They’re going to re-enact the auction.” Victor whispered added caution to me: “You keep mum about the letter. Let me. Coming, Miss Kendall?” He started to stand aside on the stair to let her pass; then, seeing the futility, he went along up. “0. K.,” Lily said. “I’m right behind you. But you can’t tell me that nice Hugh Norcross—” Bessie cut in, chillingly: “So it was Hugh’s club!” She was leaning down at the head of the stairs, the way I’d seen her that night she told me about the missing turpentine. Whenever I think of Bessie Nor­ cross I see her brooding white face leaning over stairs, listening. “And it doesn’t prove a thing,’* Victor said, comfortingly. “Sure, it don’t, honey,” Lily pant­ ed. “Proves he’s innocent, if you ask me. The feller that done it left it on purpose. Your brother would ’a’ thrown his into the sea to wash off the blood, if nothin’ more.” “Then Quade was right?” Mr. Quincy, who’d been wheeled into the main aisle, worked his Wayi nearer. “There was blood on it?” He asked. “Br-r-r-r-r-r! No doubt about it. Somebody’s done you dirt. Hugh Norcross.” Hugh grabbed my arm, while Bes* sie clung to the other one of his. “Dear, I wish you’d go back to th* inn,” he said. (TO BE CONTimEOJ IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY IcHooL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by W estern Newspaper Union”) Lesson for May 16 'Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se» lected and copyrighted by International Council of Rehgious Education; used by permission. PETER AND JOHN PREACH TO SAMARITANS LESSON TEXT—Acts 8:14-25.GOLDEN TEXT—Lltt up your eyes, and loofc on the fields; for they are white al­ ready to harvest.—John 4:35. The Church as it grows has prob­lems, and so God calls leaders tc serve Him in meeting and settling them for His glory and the good of the Church. Philip had gone to Samaria (as a result of the first persecution of the Church) and there he had been used of God to bring many to faith in Christ. Now that the new groups of believers needed guidance and in­ struction, Peter and John were sent to help them (v. 14). A proper understanding of, and at­ titude toward, God’s gracious gift of salvation is of first importance. New converts must recognize that it is a gift: that it cannot be earned oi bought, and that it issues in a life of service and testimony. AU three of these matters are cov­ ered in our lesson. I. Spiritual Life and Power Is God’s Gift to Believers (vv. 14-17). The Holy Spirit was received by these early members of the Church by the laying on of the apostles’ hands, but later He came directly into the believer’s heart the moment he had faith in God. This is now our blessed privilege, and the pro­ vision for our every need as follow­ ers of Christ, to recognize the in­ dwelling Holy Spirit. What a glorious truth it is that the believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, He who is a divine person, not just a power or influence (I Cor. 6:19). Thus every believer, includ­ ing the humblest as well as the greatest, has in him the One who gives spiritual life and power, who gives grace for holy living, and em­ powers for service. The greatest power In all the world—the power of the infinite God —is thus available to every true and yielded believer, as God’s free gift. Gone then is all boasting of our own strength, and gone are all ex­ cuses for weak and careless living. The power and grace are His, and He gives them to us as His gift. Christian friend, are you allowing the Holy Spirit who dwells in you, to infill and use you as He will? II. Spiritual Life and Power Can­ not Be Bought by Works or Money (w . 18-24). Men of this world are so used to putting their trust iri money that they come to think that one can buy anything. To them every man and every desirable thing must have its price. Let us be clear that there are men who cannot be bought, and that the best things in life bear no price tag. A mother’s love, friend­ ship, fellowship with God—priceless they are, but not for sale. Above all let it be clear that eter­ nal life, and the power of God the Holy Spirit, cannot be gained by pil­ ing up good works, nor by payment in the coin of this world. Simon Magus wanted this power to improve his business as a magi- cian. He made a very gross pro­ posal, but one wonders whether he was any more to be censured than many in the Church today who are doing the same thing, though by more cultured and skillful methods! Not only are there those who are trying to buy their own way into heaven, but also those who by hold­ ing the purse strings, try to con­ trol the message of the preacher. What about those who by their finan­ cial gifts seek to gain control of church organizations? Their efforts are doomed to .ulti­ mate failure—God will see to that! —but in the meantime they do much harm to the cause of Christ. Many a church and pastor would like to rise up and say with Peter, “Thy money perish with thee.” In. Spiritual Life and Power Should Result in. Testimony (v. 25). Peter and John set the Samaritan Christians a good example as they went back to Jerusalem, by permit­ ting the Holy Spirit to use them to testify and to teach the Word of the Lord in many of their villages. One of the great hindrances to the carrying out of the great commis­ sion has been that Christians have received spiritual life, and even spir­ itual power, as though it were some­ thing for their own gratification or comfort. God saves us to serve Him in testimony and in life. The Holy Spirit does not speak of Himself. He guides the believer in all truth (John 16:13), particularly the truth regarding Christ. The Spir­it’s primary interest is to glorify Christ (John 16:14). It follows then that the Spirit- filled believer will be busy about speaking for Christ and glorifying His name. The Holy Spirit is ready to teach even the words to say that Christ may be lifted up and men be saved. Peter and John, as good leaders of these new Samaritan believers, gave them by word and example a good foundation for growth in grace and usefulness to Christ.

MAY 12.1943. “ R e n e g o tia tio n ” M ig h t T o u ch Y o u Under no- other circumstances is the fine spirit of neighborly co­ operation shown to better advantage in a rural community than in the case of fire or other calamity. This friendly spirit is not based upon per­ sonal interest, but upon the deep sympathy that just naturally arises in case of disaster. Of course, there is a personal interest if the fire threatens our own property, but we like to think this unity of spirit in our rural life is typical of America. There is this same community of interest between industry, labor and agriculture, although sympathy for each other’s troubles seldom comes to the surface.Every farmer knows that his best market for the produce of his farm is our local domestic market. He depends upon this domestic market to consume over 90 per cent of what our American farms produce each year. U anything happens to his domestic market, like the. depression and loss of employment in the early thirties, agriculture is at once af- fected. On the other hand, if any­ thing happens to the buying power of agriculture, industry is hurt just as badly. Bight now congress is considering the renegotiation of all government contracts. The law was passed on April 28, 1942. Some people are urging that these new renegotiation bureaus should examine contracts made long before the law was passed. Take the case of a contract made in 1940. The work has been done and paid for; taxes have been paid to the government on the profits, if any; labor has been paid and the money balance distributed either in repairs to plant or perhaps paid in dividends to stockholders. Danger of Retroactive Measures. Suppose that same thing happened to our local store, or even to our farmers themselves. Suppose the prices we received for our crops, or the conservation payments by the government for 1941 or 1948 were suddenly to be "renegotiated.” Ev­ ery farmer has either fed out or told his crop, purchased new ma­ chinery or perhaps painted toe barn, or bought a new dress for his wife. U, under a retroactive law, he were suddenly put up against the threat of renegotiation, all of his credit, and perhaps even his investment would be disturbed. No one wants unfair profits or ex­ cessive dividends out of war con­ tracts. Investigation has shown toot over 95 per cent of industry and business made no excessive profits out of the war. Certainly no farm­ ers have received excessive prices for farm crops. Now Is the Time for Unity We want to get on with this war. We must have unity. Unity is based upon mutuol confidence in our gov­ ernment and in each other. We are all looking-forward to a return of peace after the war has been won. We will then want to resume our domestic markets, replace worn-out farm machinery and resume our normal trade relationships. Indus­ try and business will need all of their American ingenuity and strength to provide jobs which, in turn, furnish our domestic market after the war. True, renegotiation at present is applied oniy to industry and con­ tracts with the government. But we ail recogn'ze the good old American principle that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If business contracts can be re- ne-oliate:i under a law passed Ion; after the lmrinets contracts were made, Iiow about the sanctiiy of our own contracts? Just now the fire seems iar from our own neighborhood, but if we look closeiy, our domestic markets, both now and after the war, are involved. We can well take time-off to show a little neighborly spirit and help put out the fire. T k e P e o p le s ’ E d ic t Money to pay for the war, yes; but no money for frills in the civil operations of any of our governing bodies. The; is the edict of the American people. People’s Responsibility Eight billion dollars of the 13 billion dollars in this Second War Loan Drive must come from non-banking sources, so the responsibility for the bulk of this 13-billion-doIIar drive rests with toe American public. Indications are that Ameri­ cans generally need only to be reminded of this responsibility and bow moch they should lend their government in order to reach this goal. Americans are baddng up their fighting men on the battle fronts. They are supporting the Second War Loan. “They give their lives . . . Ton lend yonr money." Who Has The Meaey Fer 2nd War Lean? "Where is all the money com­ ing from to meet toe 13 billion dollars of the Second War Loan goal?” is a question heard on many sides. It will come out of toe 45-billion dollar surplus earnings of 1943, according to statistics reported by Treasury experts. During 1941 personal savings of individuals amounted to 9 I billion dollars. During 1943 this surplus or prospective savings will increase by 36 billion dol­ lars over 1941 when consumer goods were easy to get. Now that prices are high, thrifty people will make their goods last longer and place more money in War Bonds. Ifs A People’s War We are paying more in taxes than ever before . . . and likely will pay more. But we cannot rely on taxes to finance the war. It would not be fair to base a tax on toe average single fam­ ily income when many families Imve more than one income. We could borrow all toe money from toe banks, but for both economic and social reasons this is undesirable. The gov­ ernment would then sacrifice its greatest dam against infla­ tion. This is a People’s War and toe people should finance it. The people WANT to finance it. Sale of War Bonds bas mounted consistently since Pearl Harbor. They give their lives . . . Ton tend your money. The goal of the Second War I Loan drive is 13 billion det- , Iars. That is just about one fifth of toe estimated increase of toe Public Debt for toe fls- > Oal year Cf 1943.

Hiddenite. N. C. Men have been crving, "Edu­ cate, educate, educate!" They have made humanity believe that war is the outcome of ignorance, and if the human family were only educated that war would be a thing of the past. But now we have the education, but not the peace. Per­ haps the world has education and knowledge on the I rgest scale ever known—at least in centuries^—and we have the greatest war ever known, or ever recorded in his­ tory. It looks as though with the great and powerful inventions of the world, the discoveries, knowl­ edge of science, etc., nations are going forth to destroy civilization and wipe the human family from the face of the earth. At least, milljons and millions will be de­ stroyed. ’ Instead of laying the greater em­ phasis on education and knowledge it should have been laid upon Christianity. Absolutely; We drive toward that which we l-y the emphasis upon. The greater em­ phasis should always be laid upon godliness, righteousness, holiness, Christianity. W ith Christianity cut knowledge is a great blessing, and we are safe, otherwise we are In grave danger with knowledge a- part from God. If the world had cried, "Christianize, Christianize, Christianize!" and laid the empha­ sis here, rather than on education, we could have had both, and in the meantime had peace, prosper­ ity. and happiness. We could have been saving men instead af killing them. We could have been spend, ing our millions and billions of dol­ lars with which <0 spread the Gos pel to all parts of the world, reach, ing the perishing millions of earth with salvation, whereas we are spending our billions with which to kill and slay and send souls In to eternity unprepared to meet God. Why do men and nations not take warning by the past, as they read about it, and bv heeding God’s Word and warnings, and turn to God? Cut they go right on in the same channels of destruc­ tiveness that the world has follow ed for ages, regardless of all warn, ing, and their knowledge o i bow sin blights, wrecks; ruins and de. stroys. How inconsistent! “ Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel!” However, not many possess it. As long as men and nations lay emphasis—the greater emphasis— upon education and knowledge ra­ ther than Cbristianitv in all its purity, holiness and blessedness, there will be war. trouble, heart, ache, destructiveness and woe. On­ ly God can direct our steps, our minds, our powers, our lives aright. Education can’t. It never bas through the ages. Knowledge a- part from God.proves a snare and and final destructiveness and dam' nation. A C ase F o t C ongress “Any law that holds people in bondage is bad and unAmerican. Tet the current income tBx law makes peons of all taxpayers, be' cause it forces them Ito start each year in debt for previous year’s in­ come taxes;’’ says Floiida National Bank, of Jacksonville. Florida. "Such a situation contains the seeds of ruin. - Any taxpayers whose income is suddenly reduced is likely to be able to pay his debts excepting under circumstances that impose great sacrifices on his face'his fam­ ily or, in the case of business, pos­ sibly bankruptcy.”—Ex. BACK UP YOURBOY B u y a n A d d itio n a l B o n d T o d a y R oosevelt Is R eal B eer D rinker; Even L ikes C orn U q n o r Beer floated freely at the White House meeting and Iatge quantities of crackers and cheese were con­ sumed, says Drew Pearson, in Washington Merry-Go-Round. The President kept a glass of beer at his side from which he sipped moder­ ately When someone jokingly re­ ferred to bis "capacity,’’ he re marked with a grin that he had act doubt developed it In Geotfeta dur ing prohibition days. There was a knack to getting gobd corn liquor in Georgia, the President recalled. The sheriff al­ ways sold the best stuff. However, ever this was sometimes too potent to be taken straight. T had a recipe for mixing two kinds of corn liquor together in a cocktail," Roosevelt grinned. " It wasn’t so bad that way." Turning to Representative Sid­ ney Camp of Georgia, he added: "By the way, Sidney, I believe I got that recipe from yout brother." O utrageous A committee of the House of Re­ presentatives which has been pry­ ing into the matter reports that there are 840,570 men between ^he ages of 18 and 38 employed by the Federal government In civilian roles This is 52 per cent of the total number of sucb civilians who are working for the government. It would he unfair to charge that alt of this armed services. Many of them, no doubt, are married and entitled for the present to exemptions. Others in some quantity may be unfit for mititary service. -Yet others may be employed in such technical work as it is vital to war industries and, therefore, are more needed in their civilian jobs than in uniforms But the point of it is that th e government authorities who are hir­ ing these men should know by name and by exact number those of the more than 840,000 who should be made to serve their country as millions of others within the same age-brackets have been called and conscripted for military duties. It it abominable to have a situa. tion of this kind obtain in the na­ tional Capitol, and tor the Ameri can people to suffer the let-down in mqrale that is bound to occur when they observe such wholesale favori tism as is bound to prevail in this case. . Nor does it stimulate the spirit of the brave ^nd gallant lads who have been tagged for military ser­ vices, and who are now in camps or in fighting lines across the world to know that here at home the gov­ ernment is harboring an enormous force of Federal employes in soft, easy and safe places of the occupa­ tion without even taking the trou ble, if such be the case, to ascer­ tain how many of them may be qualified for military duty.—Char­ lotte Observer.

W. Mock, who has passed bis 85th Urthday and resides in South- side, is still able to make several visits to the uptown business dis­ trict every week. He takes a de­ light in reminiscing on the early days of Winston. Monday he re. called when Winston had only .one policeman—the late Tbotbas Pb hi who for a time also acted as town tax collector. That was back In the early Eighties of the former century. Mock at that time was clerking for the late B. F. Crosland, whose store was located at the corner near the Salem Square on Main Street. I received 50 cents a day and board,” says the aged citizen. He went on to say that “one dav a Negro man came in the store and ssed a counterfeit dollar on me which was discovered by Mr. Cros- land.” Officer Pfobl was summon ed and he soon located the Negro who confessed that the illegal moo- ey was secured from two white men in Dayie County who had plates with which they were coining quite a large amount of those illegal silver dollars. The Negro was arrested and lodged in jail, as was the counter feiters In Davie. They were given a preliminary hearing before a gov Miods -Diseased Mix a pint of pity with a gallon of wrath and yon will have jnst about the proper mixture to reflect public feeling in the case of those four Al­ exander young men who are now headed to federai prison for refnsal to serve in their nation's military forces. Conscientious objectors are accept­ ed, sometimes with arched brows, and properly provided for by a tol­ erant government backstood by a tolerant people. B ut. these young men didn’t plead any wrench totbeir conscience by tiie though' of battle­ fields and blood. Apparently they are of that law defying type whieh glorifies lawlessness an d applauds the desperado. Somewhere there must be a screw loose in th'-ir make­ up, and it should be, and we reck is, more the government’s purpose to find and and tighten than to punish; it would seem that any nrrmal A- merican would an valnehis privileges and liberties that he would want to for them. But even if reluctant, for any reason, to fight or work for ul­ timate victory, defying the law should not be a part of the program. One of these youngsters, according to the officers, when banded his re­ gistration card dashed it to the floor in scorn. Three had deemed it wise to register but refused to be induc­ ed—indicating an unhealthy influ­ ence and self-appointed leadership.

H ard to D igest In testifying before the Truman Committee which is seeking informa­ tion-on the possible coal strike and the problem of holding down wages, John L. Lewis said: “One way to get cooperation is to give the work­ ers of this country-enough to e a t. . ” With coal miner’s wages around $1 an honr, it is hard to digest such a statement. In the beat-fed country in the world, the public would not want to see any group of persons going hungry, but it would like to see more proof that a hungry condi­ tion exists with men who are being paid $1 or more an hour. If these men are going hungry, a large percentage of the people of the United States are also going hungry, for it is probable that a ma­ jority of them do not make the aver­ age monthly wage of the coal miner. -Wilkes Journal.

For it is claimed that there .is honor, even among thieves, and patriotism too.

L et U s P ray (Br Rev. Loy 0. Thompaonl There are people in the world who pray in the wrong manner. They pray in the phraseology of number one. They do not offer their prayer in the plnral but in the singular number. Jesus said on an eventful occasion when von pray say “pur.” There are times when we must use the words *’I” and “ My” and “Me” and “ Mine.” But these are times of special strain and unusual emergen­ cies. Much of onr praying be done in the plnral manner. When you prav sav “our.” Jesns in the use of word “OUR” is stressing an import­ ant point in His religions system. Christianity is based on the principle of community of interest. Chris­ tianity does not subscribe to the idia of big “I” and little “You.” To be sure we are to pray for ourselves, but the most satisfying prayer we otter is prayer for others. Onr prayer habit must be cased on so­ cialistic rather than individualistic principles. Why does prayer be­ come so tame and commonplace? Why do we find it uninviting? Is it not largely because we see faces and contemplate new situations? Wbat can we can we do about the matter? We can add new names to our pray­ er list. We can range over tbe broad fields of humanity in our thoughts and travel over the far spaces o t the world in our petiticns. We can call alond in our private de votions new names and center our thoughts and travel over the far spaces of the world in onr petitions. We can call aloud in our private de votions new names and center onr thoughts on them and ask tbe Heav­ enly Father to deal kindly and gener ously with them. It is a great thought. It is a daring, cballening thought. But after all you do not think that Cbristianify could be what it is without posse8ring something a- kin to true greatness in its heart. Make vonr prayer fresh and interest­ ing and noble by bring others into tbe sacred circle o f meditation.

Iratelul people ths Er neighbor/ P l R A T E S H E A D By IS A B E L kW A I T THE STORY s o FAR: Judy Jason, who Is telling Oie story, receives an anonymous letter enclosing $800 and ask* Ing her to bid for an abandoned church to be auctioned the next day. She gets the church, only to find, in an old chest, the body of a m an identified as Roddy Lane. The body disappears a few hours later. A fish shed burns, apparently kill* ing an old man nam ed Brown, who is supposed to have lived there. The anonymous tetter disappears. A golf club found near the chest is identified as Hugh Norcross'. The guests are once more assembled at the chnrcb and Hogh has just said, lcDear, I wish you'd go back to the inn,** Now continue with Judy’s story. C H A P T E R X I I felt a little squeeze on my arm, but whichever one of us he meant, Bessie did the answering. “Not with­ out you, Hughie. You’ll find I'll stand by, no matter how they lie about you. No matter what they plant on you. Tell ’em to find your blue scarf, why don’t you?” -"That,” shrilled Lily obliquely, “would be a darned good idea!” “Hush,” Hugh interrupted. “Blew out to sea, probably. We’re going to tell Quade about the auction. He’s got a bee in his bonnet it may have something to do with all these out­ rages.” “If you’ll all go sit down some­ where—anywhere,” Victor suggest­ ed. “And you’re going to see the significance of this when we’re through. See if you don’t. I wasn’t here, so why don’t I play auctioneer and ask the questions? Nobody has to answer anything he doesn’t choose.” Bessie Norcross stood up. My eyes had become accustomed to the dim interior, which, after the basement, seemed fairly light. “Just one min­ute,” Bessie said. “Did you find your bag, Judy? I want my door- key; not the one you gave me last night, which sticks halfway. I’m planning on a nap after lunch and I intend to lock myself in.” I’d been sure the key I’d swiped from the artist’s door really could lock Bessie’s. Now, somewhat flus­ tered, I said: “I’ll get your key, Miss Norcross. Don’t worry.” Albion Potter leaned forward from a pew behind where we were sitting in the church and exclaimed in my ear: “That reminds me! I haven’t a key to my room, Miss Judy. If— if you could trouble your uncle to find me one, I’d appreciate it, un­ der the circumstances.” “I’ll see to it.” Anyway, I could supply his. But where the dickens was my bag? We all settled down on the edge of our pews. “I’ve got some work to do on my sermon,” the minister said. “Will this take long, Mr. Quade?” .“You needn’t stay at all,” Wctor said. “I’ll begin with you, then, sir. You did bid at the auction?” “Certainly, I bid. Didn’t every­ body?” The Rev. Jonas De Witt had a powerful physique to match his voice. Now he stood up, a portly, middle-aged enigma, and held up his hands. I hoped he wasn’t going to offer up a prayer. “My friends, now that we are gathered together in this house of God,” he began ministerially . . . “House of the devil would be more like it!” muttered the invalid, wheel­ing up closer. De Witt paid no attention to him. “Let us help Mr. Quade all we can. I bid twice, I think.” He threw back his head with a pulpit gesture, fold­ ing his hands behind him, and start­ ed to pace in front of the pews. "And why did you want to own this tumble-down old—” “Not tumble-down, my friend. This church will stand another hun­ dred years. The Quakers built for service. Why? Because I was ex­change pastor here one happy sum­ mer—the happiest time of my life— years ago. Before my trouble over the funds I was accused of taking, but did not take. Later, after I’d been disgraced and put out of my church, I was exonerated and re­ instated. AU in the records in New York City. Nothing whatever to do with this.” He sighed heavily, one huge paw grasping a dusty pew post. “One would be pretty certain to speak the truth in the house of God. Nothing can be concealed from the Almighty, who sees all, hears all, knows all.” “That's the three monkeys,” tit­ tered Lily Kendall. Lily didn’t mean to be irreverent, I’m sure. She was just impatient and nervous. When you know something, impor­ tant to tell in the midst of murder and have to listen to a lot of ex­ traneous stuff you nearly burst. I know, because I was bursting my­ self to find out who’d sent me the money and made a monkey out of me. “I bid in for purely sentimental reasons—a memory connected with my young wife, now gone,” his voice faltered and he sat down—“for­ ever.” There it was again—purely senti­ mental reasons! Would Victor grab that clue and go for them? He would not. Instead he- made them admit what we already knew, that they’d all wanted that church and’ had- bid for it at the auction. But they were cagey. If any of them had come to the Head purposely to be present at the auction—the way Roddy an­ nounced he had that fatal night— they were mighty quiet about it now. Hugh Norcross tried to buy the church for Bessie. “My sister needs something to cccupy her mind,” he said. “We found that the Head was still a pleasant place to come to,” he went on hesitantly, one eye on his keeper. “Her nervous­ness was so much better, for one thing. The auction was fun, and here was a ready-made chance to get the makings of a gifte shoppe cheap.” “I remember you said the old dump would make a good bonfire,” Thaddeus Quincy chirped. “Didn’t burn up the wrong building by mis­ take, did you, Norcross? Judy and I saw you scouting around last night, remember.” “Stop it, Quincy!” Victor said sharply. Hugh had risen. “Sit down, Norcross. Perfectly under­ standable. You wanted to allay any fears that you were anxious to get—” “What the devil are you insinuat­ ing?” “Nothing. Just that you thought you’d get it cheaper—the gifte shoppe for your sister—if the others didn’t see you were anxious.”' “That’s right, Hughie. Just what you told me, remember?” Bessie backed Victor. “I kind of hoped I could get it for a studio," the artist spoke up. “But I couldn’t go above the Gerrys. Hun­ dred and fifty, didn’t they bid, Ju­ dy?” I said I thought so. “And you, Miss Kendall?” “Me? Oh, uh, I didn’t really want the old thing. Bid for the fun of it. Thought it would go cheap and I “I’m afraid to go down there again by myself.” - could watch the sunsets and play I was on a ship without gettin’ sea­ sick. I hate boats. But I didn’t really consider buying it. Of course, if it went for a bargain—never could resist a bargain. Thought maybe my little niece, Gloria Lovelace, might like—” "Gloria Lovelace, the movie star!” scoffed Bessie. “What would she do with a church?” “Mighty sweet reformers,” Lily said, proudly. “New publicity an­ gle. Remember me tollin’ you I have a lovely picture of her I want­ ed you to see? Remind me to show it when we get back. Gloria’s my favorite niece, and a sweeter, love­ lier little darl—” . “I’m sure she is,” Victor inter­ rupted. “You must show us that picture by and by. But right now I want to ask you to listen carefully, please. Mr. De Witt had sentimen­ tal reasons. Potter wanted a studio. Miss Kendall, a sea place to watch sunsets. The Gerrys’,’ a bungalow. The Norcrosses, a gifte shoppe. And you, Mr. Quincy?” “Oh, I was there—in the door­ way. Called in a bid, but stopped when I saw Judy Jason was deter­ mined to get the church. ■ Didn’t want to bid down Judy.” “That was kind of you, Quincy. Was it because you knew she’d buy it, anyway, for you?” “For me?” Mr. Q. appeared to be nonplused. “See here, Quade, why should a cripple like me want an ark like this? I can see the sunsets from the inn or the rocks.” “Explain yourself, Quade,” cried several voices. A man was entering the church. We all looked amind to see Uncle Wylie, who slunk into one of the rear pews. “Just covered it up with some good tarpaulin,” he said. “Havin’ a prayer meetin’ or another auction?” We all shuddered, recalling the poor, charred body under its rough cover. My aunt wanted me, I was informed, but I didn’t budge. “This isn’t an auction or meeting, either,” the minister said. "Mr. Quade seems to think our bidding had something to do with the mys­ terious bridge bombings and—and the dead man down there. I believe, at last, the papers can describe ev­ erything that’s happened to the dis­ eased brain of a maniac—and it’ll be the truth.” Victor shook his head. “No mani- • RELEASE ac wrote the letter to Judy. I be­ lieve the person who wrote her that strange request is back of all this. Tell teem, Judy, as you recall the contents, about the mysterious let­ ter asking you to buy the Quaker church."' I did. Tm sure I knew it practical­ ly ward far word. They made me repeat it all over again. They’ap­ peared entirely surprised. • . “And sent you the money!” Lily, piped. “How much, dearie?” ' But before I could say anything Victor retorted: “Enough,, so -that she bought the church, as you all know. Had some over. Quite a sum.” : , “If we could see that letter—” Hugh began... , - Did he know it had been destroyed,: that he dared ask for it? .. u “Yes, the letter, though I don’t ’ see what that’s got to do with killin’ Roddy Lane. You keep the rest of that kale, honey,” Lily ordered, catching her long string of ’ tiny mixed beads on Albion Potter’s coat button as she leaned across him and breaking it, as usual, in the undoing. “She’s going to,” Victor cut in quickly. “Put it away with the let­ ter, didn’t you, Judy? The police will want to examine both of them.” Victor was pretending the mys­ tery letter was still safely concealed in- my bureau drawer. He didn’t want them to know I’d discovered it was gone. But the person who’d taken it would know. I had to say something. “Near together,” I said. “I—I put the money in my stocking at first, but after what’s happened I wish—’ oh, I wish I could give it back. If one of you wanted me to do you the favor of buying the church, for good­ ness’ sake say so. Come out and admit it, so we won’t connect it up with all these horrors.” Nobody stirred. After a moment, Uncle Wylie asked in a strangled voice, “Judy, does Nella know about this?” “No,” I answered. “But she’s dy­ing to find out. She couldn’t under­ stand how I had $300 to plank down at an auction when she had to ad­ vance me my fare to the Head, and I don’t blame her. I wanted to tell her, only the letter impressed si­ lence upon me.” “So you put the money—with the letter?” “Well, it’s in the other—” I stopped. He couldn’t want me to tell them exactly where it was, of course. Just to hint to the thief who’d swiped the letter that he’d overlooked the money, and that I’d overlooked his taking the letter. “Wherever you mean,” Victor" added pointedly, “I hope it’s in a safe place. If the police can identi­fy those bills it will help.” Lily whispered: “Tell him, Judy, and the police won’t never see ’em. I think he sent the letter himself. So there!” Uncle Wylie hurried out of the door, without a word to anybody. The rest of us were all talking at once. They asked me so many ques­ tions I was afraid I’d mix up Vic­ tor’s plans and I did so desperate­ ly want to help him. He saw the position I was in and drew me aside as’ the group broke up and started outdoors again. “Any place I could watch your bedroom door, Judy?” ' “There’s the storeroom.” “Fat chance, anyway. Don’t think he’ll fall for the trap: Those bills weren’t from all over the United States by chance and without se­quence.” “Another thing. Lily Kendall did bid a lot. She was in almost at the finish. She’s got it in for—” But I didn’t have a chance to tell him what she’d hinted about the Pirate’s Mouth just then, for the minister boomed, linking his arm with Vic­ tor’s and .dragging him out of the church: “Well, back I go to the inn. Got to get that sermon done some time. And after the police come—” I pounced on Victor as he disen­ gaged himself. “Please, Mr. Quade. I’ve got to find my bag. That con­ founded key is in it.” “Well, I’ll be trotting along after the others,” De Witt said. “Where did you leave it?” Victor sounded impatient. “I think it’s 'im­ portant, just now, to see who makes a dive for your room. I’d hoped— that storeroom—” “But it’s in the basement. Only take a minute. I’m—I’m afraid to go down there again by myself.” ' “Oh, all- right. Only let’s hurry. You’re sure you left it there?” I was sure. But I was extremely doubtful if it was there now. I told Victor how I’d left it near the chest when I tried to fiddle open the lock. He told me to stay on the stair and let him hunt around. Certainly the bag wasn’t in sight. He opened the chest, looked behind it, and then into a rickety closet, where a few old hymn books were piled on some shelves. Nothing doing. I knew he was impatient about the old key, and so was I. “Never mind. It’ll turn up.” “How does it happen the $500 wasn’t in it if you left it right after the auction?” he asked. “Because I took it out after the sale. Right down here, too. Put it in my—my hose. I never make a practice,” I said with some hauteur, “of carrying large sums in my hand­ bag! A sneak thief—good heavens! What was that?"

BIBLE TEACHINGS ON WINE’S DECEITFULNESS LESSON TEXT—Proverbs 20:1; 23:29-35; Matthew 24:45-51. GOLDEN TE X T -A t the last It biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.— Proverbs 23:32. Deceitful is a good word to de­ scribe both the product and the propaganda of the liquor business. Alcoholic beverages are in them­ selves most deceitful, iind the meth­ ods by which they are sold to the public certainly caniiot commend themselves to right-thinking people. Intoxicants are associated with social preferment, festive occasions, radiant beauty, when they ought to be connected with the bleary eye, the babbling tongue, the ragged chil­ dren and brokenhearted mothers. What about the men who have lost their positions and their characters, and the women who have paid with their virtue for their love of intoxi­ cants? Why not picture them in the beautiful magazine advertisements? I. Wine Is a Deceiver (Prov. 23:1). Wine is personified here as ah evil demon who leads men oh in the hope of some pleasure or advantage, and then lets him down to the depths of destruction. It makes him think he is great and powerful, when he is only weak and degraded. It ex­ cites him to foolishness and wild boisterousness, when he would nor­ mally be sensible, quiet and orderly. He who thought he was wise in partaking of its stimulation, finds himself deceived, and to his regret he realizes that he is a fool in the hands of a malicious deceiver. H. Wine Is a Depraver (Prof. 23: 29-35). Depravity is a word not used as much as it was a generation ago, but it well describes the condition to which the drunkard comes in due time. And it is wine and other liquor which has depraved or cor­ rupted him. A number of things appear in the text. I. Liquor Destroys (w . 29, 30). This is true morally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Red eyes, wounds, complaining—these are only the outward signs of inward phys­ ical destruction of alcohol. Wce and sorrow speak of mental and social distress. The moral and spiritual destruction follow. 2. Liquor Deludes (w . 31, 32). Its color, its sparkle and effer­ vescence, its smooth appearance— all excite the anticipation of good­ ness and pleasure. And what does the drinker receive? The bite of the serpent and the sting of the adder. How true! 3. Liquor Demoralizes (v. 33). Alcohol is the handmaiden of im­ morality. “Strange women” come into the picture very quickly. They and the drinker soon find that drink sets them free from the limitations of decency and good sense, and the result is beyond description. Those who defend liquor, or tem­ porize with this problem, may as well recognize that they are encour­aging the moral destruction of our boys and girls. It is a terrifying responsibility! 4. Liquor Dulls Man’s Senses and Dazes Man’s Mind (w . 34, 35). Only a fool would lie down to sleep in the midst of the sea, or on top of the mast of a ship, or in the gutter, or against a lamp.post. That’s what drink does for a man. His perceptions become so dull that he can be beaten, and he does not know he has been hurt. Ex­ posed to inclement weather, he knows not enough to seek shelter. His money is lost or given away without concern on his part. And when he sobers up—what then? His faculties are so dazed that h4 can think of only one thing to do, and that is to seek more wine. What is it that Scripture says about the dog and the fool? (See Prov. 26:11). III. Wine Is a Destroyer (Matt. 24:45-51). We have already touched on that point in its personal application, but now we see it in its bearing on his occupation and standing in Uie com­ munity. The contrast is between the good servant who recognizes that his one and constant obligation is to serve, whether his master is present or ab­ sent, and the evil servant who vio­ lates his trust. Notice that his first thought after cruelty to his fellow servants is to satisfy his appetite “to drink with the drunken.” Cruelty, mismanagement, unfaith­ fulness are tied up without question with drinking. - Is it not so today? If you doubt it, read your . daily newspaper. Why trifle with any­ thing which keeps such evil com­ pany? You may find yourself mixed up with them beyond your ability to get free. The final result is the loss of his position and of his life. Who will deny that this aptly states the end of the drunkard’s way. But some­ one says: “I do not intend to be a drunkard: I only take a social drink.” That is the way the drunk­ ard started. Why begin to travel that road? W S SEWING CIRCLE 8207*0 3-8 yr«.

MOCKSVILLE, N. C. MAT 19. 1943. THE D AV lE RECORD C FRANK STROUD - - Elitoi TELEPHONE Entered atthe Postoffice in Mocka- vllle. N. C.. as Seeond-Clsas Mall m atter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE $ 1 0 0 $ 50 Latest reoorts indicate that at least a part of the blackberry crop has escaped the frigid weather of the past month. If the Government can draft men and bovs for the army, then they can draft men and boys for mines, mills and factories. The Record said three years ago that within two years from that date the Taps would be killing our bovs with the scrap metal we were shipping them. We missed our guess only a few weeks. The Re­ cord predicted last January' that the war would be over-' next No vemher. Here’s hoping our second prediction will be as near correct as our first one. Our old friend Judge .V^ilson "Coot” Warlick, who lives lhutbe classic shades ot Catawba county, has announced that he will not be a candidate for Governor in the Democratic primary next year Up. to this good hour two hungry. De­ mocrats have entered the race for this important office, Gregg Cher, ry and Ralph McDonald. The Re­ publicans might elect a man to this office next year. It seems that the entire country has had about all the New Deal they can swallow. Forty three years ago there was a good Republican living out on Hunting Creek. He had his name entered on our subscription books and read The Record until he died a few years ago. This man left nine children, five sons and four daughters. In looking over our subscription books, we find that seven of these nine children are subscribers to The Record. One daughter doesn’t take the papet, as she lives with a married brother who is a subscriber. Four mem­ bers of this family still live in Da­ vie county, three live in Rowan, one in Wilkes and one in Surry. Who was the man? Sm all G rain M eeting On Thursda .■ afternoon, May 20, at two o’clock, a Small Grain meet­ ing will be held at the Piedmont Experiment Station, Statesville, N. C Dr. G. K. Middleton who is In charge of the small grain breeding work and other specialists from the Experiment Station and Exten­ sion Division will be presented to explain the wotk underway.

Dear Sirs;—Sometime back I no. ticed in your good paper that sev- Cfalpf the sheep that had strayed troth ’the ftdd were coming back in to the- fold -of your subscribers. I have never been a subscriber to jo u r paper, but I have noticed that ~~ through the New Deal you have iieVer let the flag of Republicanism trail in the dust. I want to com. mend you for this. A few of us have stayed with the colors, of truth, honesty and Amer icanism, now they are coming back to us by the thousands, as the re­ cent elections In Baltimore and otb er places show. Enclosed you will please find dol­ lar bill; please place me on your subscription roll for one year. May God bless you as you con tinue the fight for the cause of Righteousness and Republicanism.

BIG figures don't mean much-because nobody ever saw 3,000,000 tons of scrap piled up in one place. But think of it this way: You and every other farmer in 1,000 pounds of scrap metal to reach this goal. And it must be reached-because if you fail, there simply won’t be enough steel to make the weapons our doys need to win the war. Don’t say you can’t find time, because you’ve got to. You owe it to the boys that are fighting 24 hours a day in the Padfic and in Nmrth Africa. It’s your job to see that they get weapons-just as it’s your job to help keep them fed. And you won’t let them'down. H ow Yod C an C ollect T h at 1000 Pounds One half a ton of scrap iron and steel from your farm! You can’t make that much up out of old buckets and shovel blades-though these are are needed too. You’ve got to throw in that old car body-that rusted cultivator -those old plow bottoms bottoms you've chucked in* to the weeds along the fence for so many years. It’s there, all right, if you’ll only drag it out! Here’s How To Turn In Your Scrap FIRS r pile up every piece of iron and steel on your place. NEXT sell it to a junk deal­ er. If you can’t find one who will come and get it, call your Local Scrap Com* mittee, your County Agent, or your nearest newspaper. And by all means donate your scrap free if you want H ere’s W hy You W on’t F ail O ur F ighters The reason you won’t, is that they’re your own boys, fellows from up the road, sons of your friends and neighbors. And if Donald Nelsonsays they’re going to need 1,000 pounds of scrap from your farm, you’re going to see that they get it... and more if possible. You’ll find the tone to do this job-if you’ve got any pride in yourself your Country, and the men who are fighting and dying for your freedom!

Who’s News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. EW YORK.—For a man who once had hardly two coppers to click in a patched pants pocket Ralph W. Gallagher is singularly O n c e H a d H a r d l y he bosses ^ T w o C o p p e r s ; H e tew hundred N o w F lip s M illio n s ^ illior'. int^ the national War kitty. The permanent royalty, free transfer to the government of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey's patent rights covering Buna-S rubber must be worth all of that. It is, of course, not precisely Gal­ lagher’s own money, and it isn’t cold cash. But any auditor would mark it down as real money, and certainly as president of Standard, Gallagher must feel a sort of own­ ership. And every once in a while he must feel like pinching himself and asking: “Can this be I?" Because when he started he cer­ tainly never saw the high peak which is now his satisfying perch. It was then that he hgd, more or less, the patched pants. He was 16, his mother was new­ ly a widow, and he was hunting a job. He got it with one of the units of Standard Oil sprouting those days wherever a job-hunt­ er looked. Shortly he was work­ ing 12 hours a day and going to school on the side. Then he switched to another unit, the East Ohio Gas company, and by and by was president. The final pay-off was the presidency ol New Jersey Standard a feu months ago. The election capped a climb for 47 years in which he had never once been off the master payroll. On the way he came to be a foremost authority on oil and natural gas pro­ duction, and lost a little hair.

The present Law Is fair proof that in this well-advertised at­tempt to do something for the road-weary victims of Hitler’s catastrophe, Britain is really trying.

The committee figures the ostensibly pure reading matter of the Office of War Information may contain a deleterious trace of propaganda and calls on Director Davis to help with an analysis. Davis is-no poor analyst, by himself. He has been for years one of the liveliest reporters of current affairs. Not counting some drugstore fiction, his 11 books and endless short pieces all took somebody, or something, apart. He is 53 years old, the son of an Indiana banker. He and Die judici­ ary committee could bring off some first-class research. They could blow up the works, too. Davis is gray-haired, but black of eyebrows, round-faced, self-assured, and in politics regularly left of cen­ ter. He likes bow ties, gray suits, Persian cats. A sound game of bridge is his most violent exercise. He reads everything, including Latin. Before OWI Davis used to live with his wife, a son, a daughter, part time in a Manhattan apartment, part time in a storied old shebang at Mystic, Conn.

"V A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BY THE L E A D IN G AR CORRESPONDENTS Wing Talk By Robert McCormick (W U U Feature—Through special arrangement w ith CoUioFs W eekly) One day. Major General James Chaney, commander of the First Air force at Mitchel Field, New York, was flying comfortably at 10,000 feet in a twin-engined bomber. The general was looking down distaste­ fully at the 30-foot waves, when he thought he saw two impudent little yellow-winged planes sitting on the water beneath him. He made his pilot circle and came down to in­ vestigate. He discovered that the planes weren’t actually on the water. They were low over it, looking for submarines. They were units a t the Civil Air patroL “How far is it to land?” the hor­ rified general asked the pilot. “Seventy-one milee the shortest way,” the pilot said. Chaney wrote Maj. KMte Johnson, national commander of Uie CAP. “I1 just wanted you to know,” he said, “that you have no draft dodgers in that bunch.” Incidentally, CAP men are not de­ ferred from the draft. Most of them have dependents or are overage or physically unfit for regular military duty. CAP Part of OCD. The CAP was started a week be­ fore Pearl Harbor as part of the Office of Civilian Defense. Plans were worked over for a month be­ fore that, by a committee of air­ conscious people who refused to be skeptical. The main idea was to use the thousands of private pilots, planes and air enthusiasts, in work which could be done by men and equipment somewhajl less high- powered than that used by the army air force. Since then, the CAP has flown more than 14 million miles—top average is 87,000 miles a month. A wing was set up in each state, under a wing commander. The boys and girls (several CAP groups are all women) meet three hights a week, usually, and study navigation, radio, meteorology, mili­ tary drill and military courtesy. Those who bring their own planes get paid around $15 an hour, depend­ ing upon its horsepower, when it’s actually in the air. But only the depreciation on the plane goes to the owner; the rest goes into a kitty from which all owners buy parts, tools and similar essentials, when they can get what they need. Volunteers Must Go Anywhere. There are 21 CAP bases from Mexico to Maine, and a volunteer is just as likely as not to find himself sent for 30 days to a forsaken hole miles from the nearest Civilization, where he has to live by his wits and courage. One southern base, more than a hundred miles from the nearest hos­ pital, has among its active workers a well-known doctor, who serves one month each year instead of taking i vacation. Out over the ocean one lay, he was notified by radio that mother man at the base was sick. The doe tore back to find a young mechanic with a ruptured appendix. A workshop bench was made into an operating ta­ ble, and with the few unspecial­ ized surgeon’s tools at hand, the doctor went to work. The young man is doing nicely today at the same old stand, and the doc­ tor is still placidly flying the submarine patrol on his time off. When the CAP first got the idea that its little put-puts could be death on pubs, all even faintly orthodox military minds were properly skep­ tical. Finally Major Johnson, who throws off enthusiasm for the project in all directions, wangled $18,000 for a 30-day trial at a base near one of the worst ship graveyards on the East coast. The usual complement of a base commander and 76 men took over, with their customary collection of odds and ends for equip­ ment, and went to sea in the aerial equivalent of pea-green boats. Within ten days, General Bradley of the army air force came up to inspect the base. Ten days is scarce­ ly time to set a new apartment in order, but he found the little air­ planes buzzing over the ocean with such effectiveness that sinkings had dropped off 85 per dent. Yet the planes carried not bombs, and could only radio the army or navy for help when they found a sub. Another base was set up, and another and an­ other, and at each one, the sink­ings went down. One day two CAP planes found a sub. They badgered it until it rammed into a mudbank, but they didn’t have as much as a rock to drop. No help came and the sub got away. When Gen. Hap Arnold, chief of the air force, heard of the incident, be blew up. The patrol planes would carry bombs, he said. By VIRGINIA VALE BeIeasea by W estern Newspaper Union.

You’ll prob­ ably refuse the invitation,” they add­ ed, “so will you kindly send us a dozen autographed pictures of your­ self?” Betty certainly had to refuse; she’s booked way ahead for pic­ tures. The latest announcement is that she’ll be teamed with Diana Lynn in “The Well-Groomed Bride.” A lot of people talk about doing something for American youth; Raymond Paige has gone ahead and done the young people a tremendous service by organizing the orchestra which you hear on the swell new % RAYMOND PAIGE radio program, “Salute to Youth,” heard Tuesday evenings, on NBC. He has been working to assemble that orchestra for the last two years, and has done wonders with his young musicians. _ There’ll be a water ballet, staged by John Murray Anderson, in “Mr. Co-ed,” so that Esther Williams can do her stuff. She’s the former swim­ ming champion who made her movie debut in "Andy Hardy’s Dou­ ble Life,” with Mickey Rooney. If you’re interested in the radio actors who appear in the popular “Mr. District Attorney,” yon’ll have a chance to see three of them in “Journey Into Fear”—Stefan Schna­ bel, who plays the ship’s purser; Frank Readick, the henpecked hus­ band, and Everett Sioane, the Turk­ ish agent. In the radio serial they play practically everything. Jon Hall, who has worn almost as many sarongs as Dorothy La- mour in pictures, gets a chance at a complete wardrobe, from polo out­fit to white tie and tails, in “Lady in the Dark.” He plays the movie star, the role Victor Mature did on the stage. Every so often comes the report that a potential successor to Ru­ dolph Valentino’s fame as a roman­ tic star has been discovered. The latest candidate is Arturo de Cor­ dova, already a star in his native Mexico and in Latin America. You’ll see him in “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” when it’s finally released, and C. B. DeMille is holding “Rur- ales” up till the public gets to know him. Amos and Andy fans are cheering over the news that their favorites will return to the air this fall in a half-hour show.. They’ll have fa­ mous folk as guest stars. Director Robert Z. Leonard has a “baby brigade” working for him in “The Man From Down Under” ; there are 80 infants, who work in two shifts, which means that there are always 40 mothers, eight nurses and half a dozen supervisors from the board of education on hand. One end of the stage had been turned into a nursery. Charles Laughton, Binnie Barnes, Richard Carlson and Donna Reed find it a bit confusing. Leonard doesn’t; he worked with 20 babies when he was making “Stand By for Action.” ' Six years ago Charles Bickford bought a South Sea island. He was telling Laraine Day about it—she’s Cary Grant’s leading lady in “Mr. Lucky,” In which Bickford appears —and said that it’s now in Japanese hands. So she suggested that he raffle it off and buy a war bond with the proceeds. A studio elec­ trician won the island, gave it to his daughter as a wedding present.

Whitman—WNU Features. You may not he able to replace worn or broken household equipment. This Is w ar. Government priorities come first. So take care of what you have . . . as well as you possibly can. This column by the homeown­er’s friend tells you how. Floors Have Darkened Question: I have hardwood floors that are about six months old. They were shellacked. When the floors were new I applied paste wax on an average of once a month. The floors are now beginning to darken. Will you let me know the best method to restore the floors to their original color? Answer: The floors have been overwaxed,' and the thick layer of wax has picked up dust and dirt. To clean the floors, moisten a piece of cheesecloth thoroughly with liquid wax (not self-polishing) and go over the floors with this, turning out a clean part of the cloth frequently. Work with clean cloths only. Then apply a thin coat of paste wax and polish the floors by rubbing weU. Floors should be waxed about twice a year. Around doorways it may be necessary to do this more fre­ quently. Chimney Cleaning Question: My furnace burns an­ thracite coal and I have a wood burn­ ing fireplace in frequent use. How often should the chimneys be cleaned? Vlhat is the best way? Answer: The burning of hard coal does not leave much of a deposit in a chimney. For your fireplace, open the damper and hold a mirror In such a position that the length of the Que is reflected in it. You should be able to judge whether or not the chimney needs cleaning. Cleaning is usually needed once every three or four years. For cleaning, close the opening of the fireplace with a piece of heavy canvas or otherwise. An old*tire chain is then let down the top of the chimney and swung around as it descends. This will scrape off all soot and any possible loose obstructions. Ready-pasted wallpaper is proving a boon to homemakers during these days of shortage of all types of la­ bor. Applying the wallpaper is sim­ ply a matter of unrolling it on the wail. Rough Farm Road Question: I have a road leading up to my farm that is about three- tenths of a mile long, all upgrade, and about eight feet wide. It is of gravel and deeply rutted from pre­ vious traffic and now has a high crown, which makes travel difficult I would like your opinion on the best and cheapest way to put the road in condition. Answer: The road should be lev­ eled off and made smooth. In some communities you can get a road contractor with road equipment who could do this work properly and quickly. After smoothing the road, an asphalt binder should be put over the gravel. Your local road com­ missioner can give you the names of road contractors and makers of as­ phalt binders. Radiator Size Question: lWhat is a formula for determining the correct size of a steam radiator for a room? Answer: One formula allows one a square foot of radiation for each two ' square feet of glass, one square foot of radiation for each 20 square feet of outside or exposed wall, and of each 20 feet of cold ceiling, and one square foot of radiation for each 200 cubic feet of contents. Increase -this by 25 per cent for a north or northeast room. This formula is only a foundation; it should be varied according to house construc­ tion and to local conditions. Magazine Feed Boiler Question: Will you give me your opinion of a magazine feed boiler using buckwheat coal on a one-pipe, hot water heating system? Answer: It is an economical and satisfactory type of boiler, requiring little attention. Make certain, how­ ever, that the boiler is large enough. roes cere [PEKING Ipq S s Released by W estetn Newspaper Union. A LTHOUGH the new wartime baseball has been endowed of­ ficially with quite lively qualities, those comparatively few outstand­ ing batsmen remaining in the game are prone to argue the point. Rubber has given way to balata compound in the composition of to­day’s ball. Experts say it lacks the jackrabbit tendencies which enabled clubs to pile up topheavy home run records. A Detroit scribe questioned the Tigers afler a recent game with the Pirates. And, he declared, “you can take the word of the Tigers for it, the ball that will be used in the American league this season is dead­ er than a fos­ sil fish.” Roger Cra­mer, veteran Tiger outfield­er, sum m a- - ...................... rized the situation thus: “When I hit that ball I thought I had whacked a hollow stump. Al­ though I didn't know that the ball had been changed. I was suspicious. (Manager Steve O’Neill hadn’t told tile boys that the 1943 ball was being used.) I naturally concluded that somebody had deadened the balls by putting them in the ice box. You know, some teams used to do that with the old ball once in a while, when they thought a dead ball might do them some good. But when Steve told us we had been using new balls, I knew that we would be blasting nc rabbits this season.” Nothing New The balata model stirs the memo­ ries ot old timers who were familiar with the dead I / .194) S -’I ball. In 1913, I - gSSfgL-J -I J- F ranklinJl Baker, infield- e r w ith th e Philadelp h i a A th le tic s , e a rn e d th e name “Home R un” B aker by clouting the terrific total of 11 home runs. T hat sam e year the eight teams of the American league hit 158 home runs. Philadelphia led with 33, New York trailed with eight. In 1942, the American league home run total was 533. The National total was 538. The Yankees had the leadership in the American league with 108. The Giants topped theirs with 109. The fast ball didn’t make its ap­ pearance until 1919. In 1920, Babe Ruth went to New York and started with his big bat to establish a myri­ ad of records. In 22 years played In the majors he compiled a total of 714 home runs, hitting 40 or more In 11 different-years and establish­ ing a record of CO round trips in 1927. His lifetime major league bat­ ting average was .341. Contrast that with “Home Run” Baker's record. How much the lively ball can help batters is ap­ parent by the increase in hitting not­ ed previously, the mounting home run and extra base hit totals and the ever-growing .300 division. SislerrS Record The career of one man is worth considering when weighing the mer­ its of the rabbit ball against those of the lively ball. George Sisler is the individual In question. One of the greatest players of all time, his career lasted right years, until eye trouble stopped him. He bat­ ted against the dead ball for fivo years and against the lively one In his last three years. Against ’the dead ball, Sisler’s five-year average was .330. His high­ est season batting average was .353 and his largest total ot hits was 190. Against the lively ball he had a three-year average of .399. His larg­ est number of hits was 257 and his best batting average was .420. Ty Cobb, Harry Hrilmann and others who were op against both types of bail said that the Uvriy ball traveled 50 to 60 feet farther than the dead one. But—one thing must be kept in mind. The public likes plenty of !fitting. John Q. Fan prefers home runs to stolen bases. Proof of that lies in the fact that American league attendance increased more than one million in 1937, one of the heaviest hitting seasons. The number of hits is often reflected in the box office.

H E A D IN JU R IE S Dr. Barton For a number of years I treated all the injured athletic students of a large university. Fortunately, most of the injuries were cuts, bruises, dislocations and occasional frac­ tures, with not infre­ quent head injuries causing unconscious­ ness. For many years also I treated all the injured ama­ teur and profession­ al boxers and wres­ tlers in which head injuries were not un­ common. While most cases of head con­ cussion recovered consciousness in minutes and often seconds, I often wondered if I made them take sufficient rest before re­suming athletic activities. This whole question of how soon after a blow that has caused uncon­ sciousness, the patient should re­ sume his regular occupation, has been studied by Dr. H. Cairns: some of his findings are recorded in the Proceechngs of the Royal Society of Medicine. “In deciding when a patient should be fit to return to work, it is necessary to bear in mind the se­ verity of his injury, and the best yardstick at present available is the length of time he was unconscious after the injuiy. The shortest time in which ability to carry out full work may be expected to return' is as follows: “If unconscious for five minutes to one hour—four to six weeks. “If unconscious one to 24 hours— six to eight weeks.“H unconscious one to seven days —two to four months. “If unconscious over seven days— four to eight months. “If patient was very tired when in­ jured, more time should be given. The type of work must also be con­ sidered as a simple task nt&y be resumed earlier than one which' calls for much brain effort. “Almost every patient who makes a fun recovery from concussion suf­ fers at a certain stage of his re­covery from headaches. In mild cases headaches usually occur early and disappear, whereas in more severe cases headaches appear much later, in fact after patient is weU enough to return home though not to work.”• • » A m e r ic a B e c o m in g N e a r - S i g h te d N a t i o n There was a time when a man or woman wearing glasses was thought to be a student or one who did a great deal of reading. Glasses were almost a badge of scholarship. It was a rare thing to see a child with glasses and many wearing, glasses were doing so to correct a squint or crossed eye. Within the last 20 years there has been a great increase in the num­ ber of men and women wearing glasses and glasses on school chil­ dren no longer attract attention. Most of us will likely attribute this increase in the number wearing glasses to the examination of the eyes of school children and to the education by departments of health of the importance of having the vi­ sion corrected in those afflicted with shortsightedness, Iongsightednesa and astigmatism (objects not seen distinctly). The last war also taught the value of acquiring proper glasses as many men were rejected for poor eyesight. However, we learn from the Bet­ter Vision institute in one nf their monthly releases that America is becoming a nearsighted nation. Ev­ ery 10 years the figures show that vision is becoming narrower and hut man eyes, which from the beginning of histbry had been adapted to far vision, have now their sharpest vi­ sion when fixed on near objects not very far' from the end of the nose. What is causing the population to become nearsighted? Some research workers on the eye state that (a) living conditions to­ day finds man lodkihg at “near” objects instead of “far” or distant objects, and (b) nearsightedness seems to be handed down from par­ ents to their children. Today, education has become al­most’universal and children Start to read at an early age. Occupations are indoors for the most part and modem living conditions require al­ most continuous dose vision. We should, therefore, be kind to our eyes, and if our eyes need help make, sure that they get help, and the right kind of help.* * • QUESTION BOX Q.—What is the best kind of de­odorant to use to overcome under­ arm perspiration?

People’s ResponsibOity EicU billion dollars of the 13 billion dollars In fids Second War Loan Drive most come from noO'banfcinf senreea, so the responsibility for the bulk of this 13-blllion-dollar drive rests with the Ameriean public. Indications are that Ameri­ cans generally ,!need only to be reminded of Ols responsibility and how mneh they should lend their government in order to reseh this goal. Americans are backing np their fighting men on tie battle fronts. They are supporting Die Seeond War Loan. "They give their lives . . . Ton lend your money.” “ R e n e g o tia tio n " M ig h t T o u ch Y o u Under no other circumstances is Die fine spirit of neighborly co­operation shown to better advantage in a rural community than in the case of fire or other calamity. This friendly spirit is not based upon per­ sonal interest, but upon the deep sympathy that just naturally arises in case of disaster. Of course, there is a personal interest if the fire threatens our own property, but we like to think this unity of spirit in our rural life is typical of America. There is this same community of interest between industry, labor and agriculture, although sympathy for each other’s troubles seldom comes to the surface. Every farmer knows that his best market for the produce of his farm is our local domestic market. He depends upon this domestic market to consume over 90 per cent of what our American farms produce each year. If anything happens to his domestic market, like the depression and loss of employment in the early thirties, agriculture is at once af­ fected. On the other hand, if any­ thing happens to the buying power of agriculture, industry is hurt just as badly. Right now congress is considering the renegotiation of all government contracts. The law was passed on April 38, 1942. Some people are urging that these new renegotiation bureaus should examine contracts made long before the law was passed. Take the case of a contract made in 1940. The work has been done and paid for; taxes have been paid to the government on the profits, if any; labor has been paid and the money balance distributed either in repairs to plant or perhaps paid In dividends to stockholders. banger of Retroactive Measures. Suppose that same thing happened to our local store, or even to our farmers themselves. Suppose the prices we received for our crops, or the conservation payments by the government for 1941 or 1940 were suddenly to be “renegotiated.” Ev­ ery farmer has either fed out or sold his crop, purchased new ma­ chinery or perhaps painted the barn, or bought a new dress for his wife. If, under a retroactive law, he were suddenly put up against the threat of renegotiation, all of his credit, and perhaps even his investment would be disturbed. No one wants unfair profits or ex­cessive dividends out of war con­ tracts. Investigation has shown thet over 95 per cent of industry and business made no excessive profits out of the war. Certainly no farm­ ers have received excessive prices for farm crops. Now Is the Time for Unity We . want to get on with this war. We must have unity. Unity is based upon mutual confidence in our gov­ ernment and in each other. We are all looking forward to a return of peace after the war has been won. We wiU then want to resume our domestic markets, replace worn-out farm machinery and resume our normal trade relationships. Indus­ try and business will need all of their American ingenuity and strength to provide jobs which, in turn, furnish our domestic market • after the war. True, renegotiation at present is applied only to industry and con­ tracts with the government. But we all recognize the good old American principle that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If ,business contracts can be re­ negotiated under a law passed long after the business contracts were made, how about the sanctity of our own contracts? Just now the fire seems far from our own neighborhood, but if we look closely, our domestic markets, both now and after the war, are involved. We can well take time off to show a little neighborly spirit and help put out the fire.

Wiio Hat The Mouy For 2nd War Loaa? "Where Is all the money com­ ing from to meet the IS billion dollars of the Saaand War Loan goal?” Is a question heard on many rides. It ,will eome out of the 45-billion dollar surplus earnings of 1913, according to statistics reported by Treasnty experts. During 1941 personal savings of individuals amounted to 9 billion dollars. During 1943 this surplus or prospective savings will increase by 36 billion dol­ lars over 1941 when consumer goods were easy to get.New that prices are high, thrifty people win make their goods last longer and place more money In War Bonds.

But we cannot rely Mt taxes to finance the war. It would not be fair to base a tax on the average single fam­ ily income when many families have more than one income. We could borrow all the money from the banks, bnt for both economic and social reasons this is undesirable. The gov­ ernment would then sacrifice its greatest dam against infla­ tion.

C No doubt many people fail In life through others Tbev take pattern after those who live for the devil and leave God out of their lives, hence their failure for time and eternity. It is a common thing to hear somebody talking about hypocrites in the church, and thus excusing themselves becouse of their hypo- cracy. Well, that is a very poor excuse for living in sin and serv. ing the devil, staying away from Christ, staying out of the church and the Sunday school, and going through life a failure and on down to hell. Suppose everybody would leave Christ out of tbeir lives, have noshing to do with, the church and Sunday school, and win no souls from sin to Christianity, wbat kind of a country would we have? Look at it from that standpoint. If you have the right to serve the devil because of the hypocrisy of some­ body else, then we all have that right. No, it is not a right; it is a poor, pitiful, degrading, damnable excuse. That is exactly what it is. No man has the right to do wrong, or live wrong, because some­ body else does. It is only a very poor privilege, and so poor that we should not think of accepting it. No one can afford to fail in life be­ cause others do, or try to excuse himself for living for the devil be­ cause of others. Realize this: If you let a hypo­ crite stand between you and God, between you and your soul’s salva­ tion, between you .and the church, between you and the Sunday school, between you and life's duties, and finally between-you and heaven, then he is bigger than you. For anyone to stand between you and that which you should attain in life means that he is ahead of you. By God’s help I ’d get ahead of him. Many people try to excuse them­ selves for living in sin and wicked­ ness and going with the davil be­ cause there are hypocrites in the church, some of whom claim a bigh state of grace Well, that gets you nowhere. You are just as small as they, just as bad off spiritually, or you would come to Christ, get real vital salvation, then go forth as a burning and shining light for God. Reader, don’t fail through oth ers. Don’t tide like them, 'don’t follow their example and go ,down the same road they travel. If you fail because of hypocrites here, you will have to live for them forever. Life’s better way is to live upright­ ly before God and man and lead others right. Certainlv.

Earl L. Grose, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Beckley, West Virginia, told his congrega­ tion, which includes many coal mi­ ners, that a “ Federal grand jury should be called to indict John L. Lewis for treason.” The blunt-spoken pastor of the Beckley church added in a sermon broadcast by radio that “if Presi­ dent Roosevelt does not prove big enough to handle the problem, be should be impeached and thrown out of office.” Groce, who is president of the West Virginia Baptist Convention and claims the 1,000 members of his church comprise the largest Baptist congregation In the state, prefaced his sermon with an offer of resignation. “ This congregation,” lie said, might have my resignation at the close of the service if membets do not approve of what I shall say.” He then briefly explained the is sues which brought about the pres­ ent shutdown of America’s coal mines and asserted that “ we have laws to govern every point in dis­ pute." “ No one man,” he continued, re­ ferring to United Mine Workers President Lewis, “ is bigger than the United States Government. This is a government of law, not of individuals. “Our primary purpose is to win the war and no individual or mi­ nority group should hinder us." Groce commented after the ser- mon that his utterances were in­ spired by a feeling that someone in the coal fields should, “split this question open.” He explained that a minister far removed from the actual scene might say “the same things but with less weight” than one famil­ iar with miners and their problems. L et U s P ray (By Kev. Loy D. Thompson) ' There are two things that maybe said of Jesus Christ. First, “ He bore the sins of many." Second. He made intercession.” These two great thoughts are united. They are joined together by inde- structive ties. On His back He carried the sins of multitudes and in His heart of hearts He prayed for them. We prayed for people oiten when we do not carry their burden of sin. When we enter into the secret place of prayer we need to get under the load of the sins of men as well as. on. own sins. There is a load to be borne. It is the load of other people’s transgressions. Paul says: “That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of H is suffer­ ing.” We learn what that fellow­ ship is when we take upon our* selves the load of the sin of the world. The place where we should be found, carrying the sins of others In the secret holy of holies of inter, cession. If we fail to get under the burden of sin in the hour of prayer it is likely we shall never carry that burden No doubt it is true that we alt have our personal burdens. We have our family burdens. We have our neighborhood burdens. But as a matter of fact do we pray for people in such a way as that we identify ourselves with their inter­ ests and needs and perils and trou­ bles? That was the way Jesus did. He bore the sins of many and made Intercession. Let us oray like that and we shall be praying in reality. senals where Army scientists are*January, 1945, he will devote his BACK UP YOUR BOY B uyauAdditional B o n d T o d a y W ill R epay Io K iod There have been persistent ru. mors that the Japanese have been using poison gas. against the Chin, ese and that Germany is preparing to use it against the Russians.

Robinson, pastor of a Negro church in Washington, speaking at a conference on “ Reli­ gion in the Modern World.” aa Co­ lumbia University, asserted tbat Ne­ gro soldiers who had been taught to kill those standing in the way of de* mocratic principles "are not going to discriminate between a German and an American who does the same thing.” That amounts to a warning that if American. whites dc not approach the racial problem with frakness and courage, they may be prepared to face racial riots—after tbe war. He thinks that the fundamental solution to tbe problem must be found in education, but he has his own ideas about where and how the Negro is to receive tbat education. He protests that " Vassar College has not admitted a Negro student in twenty-five years, and Brevard Col­ lege has a quota system permitting entrance to only four Negro girl studen's every two years.” He wants education to start in the col­ leges. both through association of 'both through association of white and Negro students and the inclu­ sion of Negro scholars on college fa­ culties.” And these are to be included in the “democratic principles” for which a “march on Washington" and “race riots” are to be justified, we suppose.

XTEW YORK--Big1 white-haired Byron Price hasn’t the whimsi­ cal authority of the first censors. He can’t take a senator’s toga away Oar Nerv9 Censor Gives Wamingto could be a Radio Infractors lice of Censorship. He does, within limits, decide what Left and Right may read these wartimes. And when he says, as he just did, that the sound and fury on the air waves isn’t all static and commercials, the wise will take the hint. After the President picked him 16 months ago to sieve the nation’s news, Price said he was snre the honor system would do for both press and radio. Now he reports' that some “wise­ cracking” announcers are “toy­ ing” with the code; and he warns that his staff’s ears are bept 24 hours a day, and their eyes, too. He has been a newspaper man over 30 years. He got out his first paper with a pencil when he was ten; got his first lesson in censor­ ship, also. His dad’s foot came down hard. He didn’t try again un­ til he reached Wabash college. Price was bom in Indiana, 52 years ago. After college he quit a few newspaper jobs just for fun, as cub reporters did in those days, and then the AP took him on. Barring time out for the first World war— Captain Price—he stayed and stayed with the AP, married in 1920, and kept on rising; When he left to be­ come chief censor he was second only to General Manager Kent Cooper. /~\NCE Julius A. Krug hustled ^ back to Milwaukee swearing that nothing, nobody, could ever coax him into another federal job. Has a Firm Hand Thatwas after a time OntheTkrottleof with the OurWarMachine L m m Sni! cations commission. Now he rises to the No. 3 spot in the War Produc­ tion board, with only Charles E. Wil­ son and Chairman Nelson above him. Krug’s change of mind was chief­ ly due to the persuasions of David Lilienthal. Lilienthal was with the Wisconsin Telephone company where Krug got a job. He went, shortly, to the Tennessee Valley authority and nothing would do but Krug must go along. The TVA allowed Krug later to quit his job as power manager to join WPB and now he rises to high authority. Few younger men, in federal jobs or out, have as much. Krug is just 35. He was born in Wisconsin of a Ger­ man family. His grandparents didn’t like Bismarck’s Germany and cleared out. Krug married at 19, worked as an iceman, an engine wiper, a day la­ borer to get through the state uni­ versity, and here he is now, with a daughter and a son, and a tremen­ dously important key position in the country’s great war effort. He keeps at his task 70 to 80 hours a week, for all that he seems too heavy for so much work. He weighs an eighth of a ton. 'T'HERE were the tireless legions of Caesar. There were the pool bowmen at Crecy. There were Pick­ ett’s dauntless 4,000. There are the millions of privates on shank’s mares who will have Gen. ‘Vinegar Jotf Pats Infantry in Its Proper High Place the last say in this war, airplanes and tanks be whatchamacallit. The man who can read the bright history of infantry and not take fire is a cold fish. And if, as the rumor Tuns, Lieut. Gen. Joseph Stilwell talks up its virtues so warmly and so long that he skimps the fighters aloft and on wheels, his enthusiasm is understandable. Of course, the rumor may have grown out of all conscience with repetition. The general did pass up an airplane and foot it 400 miles into India after the Japs swarmed into Burma. But he will hardly have come to Washington to ask just for more G.I. field shoes and feet to wear them out chasing Japs in China. Shoes or whatever, a record­ ing of the general’s requests would be fun. Politer biogra­ phers refer to bis sulphurous speech. They mean that the general sometimes calls a spade a—spade. He isn’t Vinegar Joe for nothing. He isn’t Uncle Joe for nothing, either. He may cuss —didn’t Grant?—but ever since he got into the army his men have sworn by him. He has been in the army for nigh onto 37 years. Now he is a stubby, bony, cropped-haired, eagle-nosed,, bright-eyed 59-year-old hellion who will fight alongside his beloved in­ fantrymen with the cook’s meat saw if no better weapon can be found in a hurry. His high post in China is a trifle accidental. Not of the army’s elite, though he went to West Point, he set out 20 years ago to learn the Chinese language. China assign­ ments followed. So he was Johnny- on-the-spot when the Japanese de­ cided that Der Tag had come. B o l i v i a n P r e s i d e n t W a r m ly G r e e t e d Gen.

Germany and Japan need dia­ monds desperately. They are a vi­tal war necessity for a hundred im­ portant war purposes, including drawing wire, cutting, drilling and for parts in precision instruments that must not wear down. Until two years ago the Axis got diamonds from Brazil and Venezuela through LATI, the Italian air line. W henLAIlwas suspended, U-boats took up the job. Ton can hide a million dol­ lars worth of diamonds in your wooden leg. I engaged passage for the Gran Sabana (the great plain) on the plane for Santa Elena, its only set­tlement. “You are lucky you can fly there,” the agent told me. "You will reach it before dusk. If you went by land it would take six weeks.” The Gran Sabana is separated from the rest of Venezuela by one of the most desperate jungles in the world and by a vast series of sheer cliffs, rushing streams and water­ falls. Until five years ago it was known principally through Conan Doyle's “Lost World.” Recently, be­ cause of the wild treasure hunt, the Venezuelan government extended daily air-freight service to the newly created village of Santa Elena, near the ranch of Dr. Lucas Pena, the territory’s sole white settler. Fly Over Jungle. We flew over the jungle and the huge sheer cliffs, circled the settle­ ment, and landed. I had expected no style or comfort, and I wasn’t disappointed. Santa Elena is 70 palm-thatched huts made of mud, in which 500 persons exist. I had a letter of introduction to a diamond dealer, but he was away, and so I went to stay with Dr. Pena. It fits the wacky history of this re­ gion that the first man to discover this immense alluvial wealth will have no part of it. Even today, Dr. Pena ignores the gold -under his dining-room floor and a rich diamond deposit on his ranch. Early next morning, accompanied by three tough hombres, I started along the twisty, tree-covered, mud­dy route to the mines. When I reached the diggings, I found that the diamond mines me a collection of holes out of which men drag pay dirt to sluices in the streams. The living accommodations are rudely thatched, wall-less shelters, with hammocks hung so close the men are warmed by the heat of one an- other’s bodies. Only Place in World of Its Kind. The Gran Sabana fields are the only place in the world where dia­ monds are found in pure jungle. Be­ fore a miner begins digging he must fell the huge trees and hack away the brush with his machete. The miners work in pairs, threes or fours, digging down 6 to 25 feet until they reach the diamond-bear­ ing gravel, and then sluicing it with primitive troughs and pans. If a miner puts in a full day’s work he can usually average- three or four small stones a week. A one-carat stone might be worth $30, depending on its quality, A two-carat stone is worth about $160. An eight- carat stone is worth about $1,000. I stayed at the mines three days, paying prices that make a New York night club look like a bargain base­ment. Cigarettes were $2 a pack­ age, eggs $8 a dozen, chickens $11 each, apples $1 each. The difficulty of transportation causes the high prices. Everything comes from Tu- maremo to Santa Elena by air at 30 cents a pound. After passing through several money • making hands it must be carried burro-back or human-back, to the mines. When I first heard about these prices, I wondered how the min­ ers ate. They don’t. They starve until they strike it rich, then head for Ciudad Bolivar or Caracas, blow the works and borrow passage back. Except Dr. Pena, every one of the men and women who endure the hardships of the Gran Sabana Js crazed with the hist of riches. Thirty years ago, at 18, Dr. Pena came to Ciudad Bolivar, seeking latex. In the jungle he drifted away from civilization; adventure and life for life’s sake became more impor­ tant to him than money. He worked his way somehow to the Gran Sa­ bana. A tribe of friendly Indians welcomed him and helped him build his home on the hill. There was • great feast when he married an In­ dian maiden. Surprise the Fam ily With Sandwich Loaf! (See Recipe Below) M eals on a Dish We’ve heard a lot about hot meals in a casserole that take care of the main course of a m eal.

This is one of the very nice things about summer menu planning for foods lend them­ selves to this kind of serving. Recently I saw a very attractive platter that was cool, complete and colorful—that any one of you could whip up at short notice. An individ­ ual tomato aspic filled with creamed cottage cheese served on a large green glass salad plate was banked by several tiny finger sandwiches, a slice of tongue with horseradish sauce, deviled eggs, a small mound of potato salad and a sprig of water­ cress. Serve this with coffee or tea and a dish of sherbet or ice cream. Bread with filling forms an inter­ esting base for this salad-sandwich loaf and looks very pretty enclosed in rosy aspic. The fillings, ham and cheese, classic flavor combina­ tions, won’t cut into your points heavily, nor will the tomato juice: tTomato Aspic Surprise.

Cook tomato juice, onion juice and celery for 5 minutes. Remove cel­ery and add gelatin which has been softened^ in cold water. Stir until dissolved. Season with salt and pep­ per. Pour a %-inch layer into a buttered loaf pan which is a little larger than the loaf of bread. Chill until firm. Place prepared sand­ wich loaf in this layer of aspic and pour the remaining cooled and some­ what thickened aspic around it and over the top. Chill again until the aspic is firm. Unmold on a platter, garnish with watercress and slice crosswise to serve. You can still do’ entertaining even on your ration points!

PETER’S COUNSEL TO SCAT­TERED CHRISTIANS LESSON TEXT—I P eter 1:1; 2:11-25.GOLDEN TEXT—Honor aU men. Love the brotherhood. P eer God. Honor the king.—I P eter 2:17. Persecution for Christ’s sake has been the lot of believers from the first century down to 1943. Some­ times it has been official, but more often unofficial, yet nonetheless se­ vere and trying. The manner in which Christians face their difficulties is one of the best testimonies to the reality of their professed faith. Sometimes, however, in the midst of their trials the enemy of their souls brings dis­ couragement—and then they need the counsel and encouragement'of others. Such was the situation When Peter addressed his first epistle to the early believers who were scattered abroad (1:1). His counsel was just what they needed, and Is equally helpful to us. They were to be L Separated As Pilgrims (1:1; 2 :11, 12). Christians are in this world but not of it. They are passing through, wayfarers on their way to the eter­ nal dwelling place of God. That does not mean that they are not inter­ ested in the welfare of those round about them, or delinquent in shar­ ing the responsibilities of life, but it does mean that they are to have the pilgrim’s detachment from the things of the world and the flesh. In the days of Peter, membership in the church was not considered a normal or respectable thing. It marked a person as belonging to a hated sect, one which was falsely accused of many evil deeds. For example, Christians met at night, men and women together for com­ munion service. Because they spoke of this as a "love feast,” they were accused of immorality, and because they spoke of the body and blood of Christ they were said to be eaters of human flesh. Christians must meet such ma­ licious reports. How? By silencing their accusers by their good works. H. Submissive As Citizens (2:13- 18). One of the hallmarks of Christian character is willing and gracious recognition of proper authority, whether it be in the state, in the place of employment, in the school, or in the home. He does this for the Lord’s sake (v. 13), and even when that authority is in the hands of an unreasonable man. This does not mean that the Chris­ tian is to encourage or countenance tyranny and oppression, but that he is loysd to the state and to his em­ployer, even though the present rep­ resentative be a hard, unjust man. In all well ordered society there will be proper and effective means to correct injustice. But in and through it all ffie Christian shows his faith by his behavior. Observe that government, in the plan of God, is for the purpose of keeping order, encouraging the good, and punishing the evU (w . 13, 14). The powerful influence of the Christian Church should keep it in that right channel, or bring it back if it has strayed. Always loyal and obedient, the believer should use his ballot and his personal in­ fluence to establish and support good government. III. Suffering As Christians (2: 19-25). Christ is our “example” (v. 21). Since some have interpreted this word and the statement “that ye should follow in his steps” as in­ dicating that we are saved by our imitation of Christ, it is well to point out that this would be quite impossible. We would have to be­ gin where He began—He was with­out sin (v. 22). But we have all “sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). We need a Saviour—not an example as far as redemption is concerned. In the ever present problem of suffering, we as redeemed ones do have Christ as our example. He who was sinless and without fault bore the shame and suffering of Calvary without complaint. When He was reviled He did not retaliate, when He was hurt He did not threat­ en revenge (w . 22,-23), but was will­ ing to leave the ultimate judgment in the hands of God, who will have the final word. We ought to do the same when we suffer for Christ’s sake. If we suf­ fer because of our own sin or folly, we can claim: no credit for bearing it patiently (v. 20). But when we have done well and then are per­ secuted, we have opportunity to show whether our profession of be­ ing followers of Christ realty means anything. JVt this point some Chris­tians lose Tneir testimony and influ- enceby a bitter, vengeful spirit. These are trying days for the souls of men. In many parts of'the world Christians are forced to drink the bitter cup of persecution, Tb the glory of God we record the fact that they are doing it heroically and in a true Christian spirit.

Fight die Forgeiy Racket! Br Fran k J . W h so n Chief, U nited States Secret Sereios PROTECT yourself against those * who steal and forge government checks, first by having your mail box equipped with a good lock. If you lock the box AFTER a check is stolen, you will be learning the hard way. Second: Be at home, or have some mem­ ber of the family at home, when government' checks are due to be delivered. Professional mail thieves often follow mail carriers along their routes. After the carriers deposit mail in the letter boxes, the thieves steal checks from the boxes. Sometimes the forger also steals monthly bills for electricity or gas, so that when he asks a storekeeper to cash his forged check, he can show the merchant the. bills to make him believe the forger is the person entitled to the check. In other words, be uses other stolen mail to identify him­ self and get the stolen check cashed. Ifyoucangetyourcbeck as soon as it is delivered, it cannot he. stolen.

The days when the Supreme Court didn’t meddle In politics were before Frankfurter. Mavbe what John L Lewis really wants is for President Roosevelt to (rive back the $500,000 that Lewis gave him for the 1936 campaign. ' The victory of the people and Republican leadership over the Tre­ asury on pav as-you-earn taxation marks the beginning of the end of the New Deal. We are losing no sleep over who is going to run for President next year. There will be time to wran­ gle over this question after we lick old Hitler and Tojo. The Charlotte Observer and the Winston-Salem Journal begged the voters to snpport Senator Bob Rey­ nolds five years ago. If Bob was a good fellow then, he’s a good fel­ low now. The leopard can’t change its spots. It seems that the Shelby Demo­ crats want the lion’s share of poli­ tical jobs. When brother In-law 0 . Max Gardner decided not to run for the Senate against Bob Reynolds, former Congressman and former Governor Clyde R. Hoey jumped up and declared that he wonld take the job. The appetites ot the Shelbyites are hard to satis fy. It might be a good idea to re­ tire that bunch of politicians on a pension. It will be a hot race be­ tween Hoey and Reynolds in the coming Democratic primary. After all, there was some good things about the Hoover administra tion that we miss during these New Deal days. When a fellow got hold of a dollar he could walk into a gro­ cery store and buy enough provi­ sions to last him for three days. He didn’t have to carry t suit case full of ration books, meat, coffee, sugar, oil, gas and other stamps. If he had a few dollars to loan be could get 5 to 6 per cent interest, while today he gets only 2 per cent on his surplus cash that he puts in the bank.

Judy bids (or (he church and gets it, only to find, in an old chest, the body of a m an identi­fied as Roddy Lane. The body disap* pears a few hours later. A fish shed burns, apparently killing an old* man named Brown who is supposed to have lived there. When the anonymous letter disappears, Jndy tells Victor Quade. While exploring the uPiratetS Mouth1* for clues, Lily Kendall sees something which frightens her. With Victor, Judy Is looking for her bag. Now continue with Judy’s story. C H A PTE R X U I’d thought it a wild cry coming from the sea. Victor heard it, too. ‘‘Just a gull, probably. They sound like that.” He was halfway up the stairs. “Come on, Judy.” I saw him hesitate, run a little way back and inspect the waters around the bluff; then, just when I was wondering if he were going to go down into the Pirate’s Mouth after whatever was there, he came back and made for the inn, two steps at a time. I could hardly keep up with him. “Only a gull,” he reiterated. “No­ body’s been down there, evidently.” Our guests had scattered. I could see Bessie Norcross’ white coat dis­ appearing into the house, with some man holding the door for her. Hugh, no doubt. The others were out of sight, save the minister. He had stopped by the fire ruins and was waving something at us. "Lily Kendall thinks you k-k-know s-s-something about—” Victor was. way ahead of me. By the time I caught up with him all thoughts of what Lily had hinted were driven out of my mind. The minister was waving a much-worn brown hand­ bag. “There’s your bag, Judy!” Victor called. “Where did you find it, Mr. DeWitt?” “Why, right there.” He pointed out a young juniper bush beside the path which ran in back of where the fishhouse had stood. We’d all been on that path innumerable times and not seen my bag. “Th-thank you very much.” I hunted for Bessie’s key. Yes, there it was. Now she could lock her bedroom door and I could give the artist back his key. My coin purse was O. K., too, with a little change in it. Also, I saw at a glance, the lovely compact a girl friend had sent me from Florida. I was torn between going to assist my poor aunt and the desire to see if the money was still in my room. Victor had had plenty of time to get into the storeroom, so I didn’t feel afraid. Besides, the wind had blown my hair till it was a sight. I needed a couple of minutes before a mirror. Not mine. I’d only scout a moment and then go into Auntie’s room. Hugh stopped me in the hall. “Wait a minute, Judy. I was just going back to the church for you. Do you think it’s safe for you to hang around that Quade fellow alone?” He tried to hold me by put­ ting his hand over mine on the newel post. I yanked away. I was so mad I forgot he was a guest. “Suppose you attend to your own affairs. And your sister’s.” The thrust shot home. He stepped back. “I was only considering your safety, Judy. You—you know I— Bessie and I, like you.” “Well, thanks, Hugh. Don’t mind me. Here, give your sister her key. Where is she? I’ll do it myself.” “She’s powdering her nose. Then we’re going down to the bridge with the gang. Will you come, too?” He was being decent after I’d been pretty rude. “You bet.. I’m coming. Wait for me, too.” "Well, don’t be long. Some of ’em have already started. Poor Mr. Quincy is wheeling himself.” “Go help him then. Bessie can come with me.’’ I tore up to my rpom, and after a trembling mo­ment went boldly in. The money was still there. “Sssssh, beat it,” came from a crack in the storeroom door. “How can I ever trap anybody with you—?” I ran out and closed my door again. “You won’t. They’re all going to the bridge. I—I only wanted to powder my nose.” I opened my bag and took, out the powder pouch, pressing the lid.. Then I nearly cata­ pulted down the stairs. Roddy Lane's square-cut diamond gleamed pinkly through the powder. “Oh! oh! oh! oh!” I slumped weakly down on the top step, groan­ ing aloud. Victor came out of his hiding place and told me to shush. I handed him the pouch, just as Bes­ sie Norcross peeked around the ban­ isters. “What’s the matter, Judy? Yousick?” “She’s a little faint, and no won­ der,” Victor answered for me. I never saw anybody recover himself so quickly as Victor Quade. “Don’t try to show me the plan of the house till you fee! better, Miss Ja­ son,” he said, solicitously, knowing full well Bessie had caught him up there. “Shall I call your aunt?” I ’had presence of mind enough to press my hand against my side. “It’s nothing. Just a stitch in my side. Getting old,” I tried to laugh. I saw Victor putting my pouch in his pocket. Would he think I’d sto­ len the ring from that awful hand? “Your key. Here it is, Miss Nor* cross.” I tossed it to her as she came part way upstairs. “Hugh is waiting for you. You two go along. You, too, Mr. Quade. I’ll be all right now. The pain’s gone.” Let her think what she wanted to; it couldn’t be helped. By the time we reached the piazza our guests were ambling toward the bridge. Uncle Wylie had already gone down, my aunt said, scolding because I put off setting the luncheon dishes out. He’d beaten the whole of us, taking the minister’s car, as he ex­ plained later, when he’d seen • a truck skimming along the Neck. Hugh Norcross was helping Mr. Quincy into another car, Potter’s presumably, over near the garage. De Witt already had a front seat. “Wait for us,” Victor called, but they didn’t. Perhaps they didn’t hear him. Anyway, they were start­ed before we were down the walk. “Why don’t you go back, Judy?” “No, no. You don’t think—? I’ve got to know. You couldn’t believe I’d touch—” “Of course not, my dear girl. Some friend has not only made a “Nobody’s been down there evi­ dently." tool of you, but now is trying to im­ plicate you further. That’s the same ring?” “Looks, like it. Not sure of course.” Victor’s stride increased. “Good grief! Look—that first car is com­ ing back again!” The car with my uncle in it! And the truck was rapidly disappearing down the long curving Neck. “Won’t be long now. Keep mum about the ring, Judy.”We hurried along to meet the two cars, which were now stopping mid­ way and holding a powwow.“Everything jake?” Victor shout­ ed as we came up.They didn't answer, but kept talk­ ing among themselves in a puzzled manner.“Everything 0. K.?” Victor re­ peated. “Dunno.” Uncle Wylie, who was leaning against the steering wheel of the minister’s car, opened the door for us to get in.“He isn’t sure the feller heard him,” Hugh said. “Milkman, wasn’t it?” “Uh-huh. Him, all right,” Uncle Wylie said. “Nearly ran the truck over into the gap. I shouted to get the police. ‘Been a murder!’ I yelled. ‘We want the police!’ But he answered sort of queer.” “What did he say?”“ ‘Can’t hear you! Wind’s agin me too strong! Joke’s on you!’ ” Uncle Wylie scratched his scrag­ gy head, windblown every which way. “Ain’t sartin he understood. I yelled ‘Murder!’ again. ‘Order?’ he yells back, plain as day, ’count of the land breeze. ‘Here ’tis. How’ll I git it over?’ ” “And you told him to get the po­ lice?”“Sartin. ‘Git the police!’ I near­ ly split my throat. Cupped my hands and hollered.” My uncle’s eyes twinkled. He didn’t often get the center of attention. “Do hurry up, Uncle Wylie. What did he say?” I implored. “Hold your hosses, Judy. Let's get this straight,” he said, and my uncle began to chuckle. “ ‘What makes you so consarned polite all of a sudden, Wylie? I’ll leave the order right here and you can git it in a boat. That’ll learn you not to bust any more bridges otf the Fourth.’ Then he went off laugh­ ing.”“But surely he’ll tell everyone he meets about the bridge,” Victor said. “Even if be believes it was a prank.” “Will if he thinks of it,” my uncle said, lighting his old corncob pipe. “Hop in, you folks. Nothin' to do ’RELEASE here. I got some clams to shuck.” We got in. “If you’d only waited for Mr. De Witt,” I said, “he could have made them hear way down to Rockville.”“Didn’t you tell him we didn't have a boat?” Hugh and Mr. Quincy asked the same question that was in my mind. “Don’t know’s I did. Why should I?” Uncle could be so exasperating sometimes. “Got a boat, ain’t we, up in the loft of the garage?” “Well, for the love of Christmas! —why didn’t you say so? Drive on!” screamed the minister. “Didn’t say so because she—she leaks!” Their car made the difficult about face on the narrow road, and I held my breath while Uncle Wylie fol­ lowed suit. I didn’t want to plunge into those swirling waters, danger­ ous at any time, despite the peace- ful-looking marshland beyond. I was wondering why my uncle hadn’t spoken about his boat be­ fore. He could repair any leak that ever sprang. I was also beginning to wonder if he’d told the truth about the milkman. Nobody else was present. It was quite possible Aunt Nella had sicked him on to being Horatio at the Bridge just to keep the police away a little longer, in the hopes that some of the mys­ tery would solve itself. I said as much to Victor. “He, yes, and his wife, too, can’t wish to keep quiet about what’s un­der the tarpaulin.” Aunt Nella was standing in the doorway waiting for the milk for her chowder. Did she think they could throw it across? “You might' have rigged up a breeches buoy!” she accused. There! She’d struck it. If no­ body came to the bridge, if the boat couldn’t be made seaworthy right away, couldn’t we rig a breeches buoy of some sort? But Victor didn’t listen to me. He and the men went across to the old barn where the boat was stored in the loft. “I loathe steamed clams,” Bessie Norcross grumbled, when she heard my aunt’s luncheon alternative. Bes­ sie had been cleaning the spot on her coat with some smelly fluid. Now she draped it over the ham­ mock to dry. Personally I thought she’d made it much worse, with the encircling yellowish gray rings. I stooped to pick up a couple of Lily Kendall’s crystal beads. Love­ ly beads, they were; expensive. I hoped she’d saved enough to have them restrung. It was then I real­ ized she hadn’t been with us on the Neck. I ran up and knocked on her door, but, receiving no an­ swer, hurried down again. “Where’s Miss Kendall?” Bessie shrugged. “Haven’t seen her. Been locked in my room. Hughie called to me not to bother about the old bridge, so I’ve been right here. He thought I’d been overdoing. Look, they’re coming back from the garage.” “How’s the boat? Aiyr good?” They all answered together. I gathered it was unseaworthy. “Hole in her big as a bucket,” Mr. Q. shrilled. gleefully. “Somebody chopped it. on pur­ pose,” Potter added. “If I find out who in tunket dared to do sech a thing—!” Poor Uncle Wylie. He looked like a little mad bantam rooster. Hugh went up and sat beside his sister. “Glad we came by train, Sis. Our car wasn’t in that barn. Neither of us had occasion to en­ ter it.” I saw the clergyman turn so pur­ ple I thought he’d have an apoplec­ tic stroke, when the artist’s jaw dropped ludicrously. “Open all the time, isn’t it?” Vic­tor saved the day. “Sartin. 1Cept when I lock up at night. Keep my own old Fordie in there when she hain’t in the back yard. You can see her now, with a busted axle, et cetery.” “Anybody seen Miss Kendall?” I cut in. “She’s not with us and she’s not in her room.” That was odd in itself. Lily Ken­ dall never missed anything. She was, as Thaddeus Qttincy had put it —ubiquitous. Well, she wasn’t ubiquitous now. She wasn’t in sight.“Make sure, Judy,” Victor said. “Look all around, will you?” His face was clouded with anxiety. He started down the path as if he were quite sure I wouldn’t find Lily in the house. “Will you wait?” He nodded. “I’ll walk slowly. You call ‘yes’ or ‘no’ from the door. I’m going to look at the—the ruins of the fire.” Aunt NelIa called me to come and help her. Was Miss Kendall with her? I asked. No, nor in the par­lor. Nor her room. Nor tbe bath­ room. Nor the lavatories. I tore out to tell Victor. “Oh, Mr. Quade—that cry! You said it was a gull.” ' “Nonsense. It was a gull.” But his eyes belied his words. “Nor­ cross! Potter! De Witt! You, too, Wylie! Please make it snappy.” Vic­ tor was positively running now, with me at his heels and the rest after us. As I hurried along I was con­ scious that the tide must have turned, and with it the wind, for a refreshing salt breeze changed the air into one Of New England’s per­ fect summer days. It wasn’t sultry any more; I didn’t feel so tired de­spite all the racing around I’d don* that terrible morning.

One way of doing this is to team a vividly colorful print with black jersey so as to give striking accent to the colors by way of contrast to the dull black. It is this method of styling which gave inspiration for the stunning yet casu­ al afternoon dress shown to the right in the group, illustrated above. Here an exotic mermaid print is com­ bined with black wool jersey with a technique that fascinates. It is a one piece dress with a modified dirndl skirt made of a gorgeously colorful print patterned in sea-blue and shocking-pink. The top and the set-in belt are of the sheer black wool jer­ sey. The felt tarn is worn pitched forward on the head in the latest 1943 manner. The striped blue and pink tie is also very new, for accord­ ing to fashion’s latest whim a neck­ tie of some sort or other really should be worn. To. bear out our statement that the styling given to prints this season tells an excitingly new story, take a keen look at the gown centered in the picture. The intriguing feature about this charming flower-patterned cocktail one-piece done in lime and taupe colors is that the yoke and sleeves are crocheted. The sweet­ heart neckline here achieved is ex­ tremely flattering. If you are your own dressmaker and can crochet, here is a line of thought to follow up. A touch of crochet is giving smart to many a costume this sea­ son. Two styling details are the clever draping of the bodice and the sutble front fullness of the skirt. The belt of lime and brown velvet blends with the general color scheme. Ideal as a top-off to the dress is the lime- colored flower pompadour hat. Speaking of contrasting yokes which are so definitely in the mode this season, a yoke added to a simple print frock will give it an extra dash of feminine prettiness. In the neck­ wear departments you will discover the loveliest and daintiest embroid­ ery and lace yoke-collars this year. Those with the low-cut necklines are the most flattering. It’s the simplest thing imaginable to baste one of these lingerie yoke collars. After you have it exactly where you want it, stitch it firmly to the print dress. Then from underneath cut away the print and you will have a perfectly “darling” little frock that cost little but has the exclusive look of the new,’lace-yoked versions being shown for summer in the better shops. White blocks on a navy back­ ground in symmetrical design make the smart print for the dress worn by the figure seated to the left. This “something different” treatment of small motifs with large takes all the monotony out of both checks and polka dots in the newer versions. 'The varying sizes give a feeling of border prints such as offer endless possi­ bilities to designers working with these new prints. The dress pictured has different sizes of the blocks on the skirt and bodice with larger blocks at the skirt hemline. The two breast pockets also stress the larger blocks. So much is being done with black and white this season, and with navy and white. The smartest new white accent given to summer costumes is that of wearing a white jacket (satin or flannel) topped with a sprightly little white hat. Released by W estern Newspaper Union. O val N ecldines Very new are the deep oval neck­ lines and rippling cape sleeves on this after-five frock which uses fine navy rayon sheer molded on reed- slim lines for grace and chic. It is frocks of this definite simplicity that look newest this season. This type of styling foretells What is to be in the coming months in the way of low necklines and brief sleeves that Tiake feminine charm their appeal. Bows M ay T u rn U p A lm ost A nyw here! Bows are likely to appear in the most unexpected places on suits or coats, blouses or dresses. U you ask your salesperson to show you a “bow suit” you will most likely be shown such unusual modes as strictly tailored classic wool suits with a huge bow here and a huge bow there of wide grosgrain ribbon. Gives the feminine touch with em­phasis! When in doubt, “use a bow” is a timely message to the home sewing woman who feels an extra touch is needed to give the garment she is making swank accent. A coat dress that fastens to one side takes on intrigue when the lap- over is bordered with a ribbon band along which, placed at intervals, is a series of butterfly bows made of the same ribbon as the banding. Velvet ribbon works out beautifully used in this manner on a gay print coat dress. ‘Junior Missf Goes to a Party in Dainty Cotton When one comes to discussing junior evening cottons she enters into a fascinating realm. Now that cottons are the smart thing to wear morning, noon and night, juniors will be looking too pretty for words at parties in their dotted swisses, dainty dimities, printed cotton sheers, ruffled organdies, lace- trimmed and embroidered piques, flowery glazed chintzes. The off-shoulder line is a favorite this season. Pretty as a picture is a frock of red-on-white dotted swiss, the skirt floor length and bouffant. There is a high midriff girdle, and the off-shoulder neckline is formed oI a ruche of the dotted swiss edged with tiny red rickrack.

People’s Responsibility Eight billion dollar* of the 13 billion joE tn In this Sceoind War Loan Drive moat come from non-banking sources, so the responsibility for the balk of this 13-billion-dollar drive rests with the American pcblie.Indications are that Ameri­ cans generally need only to be reminded of this responsibility and how much they should lend their government In order to reach this goal. Americans are backing np thetr fighting men on the battle fronts. They are supporting the Second War Loan. “They give their fives . . . Ton lend your money.” " R e n e g o tia tio n ” M ig h t T o u ch Y o u Under no other circumstances is the fine spirit of neighborly co­operation shown to better advantage In a rural community than in the case of fire or other calamity. This friendly spirit is not based upon per­ sonal interest, but upon the deep sympathy that just naturally arises In case of disaster. Of course, there is a personal interest if the fire threatens our own property, but we like to think this unity of spirit In our rural life is typical America. There is this same community of interest between industry, labor and agriculture, although sympathy for each other’s troubles seldom comes to the surface. Every farmer knows that his best market for the produce- of his farm is our local domestic market. He depends upon this domestic market to consume over 90 per cent of what our American farms produce each year. If anything happens to his domestic market, like the depression and loss of employment in the early thirties, agriculture is at once af­ fected. On the other hand, if any­ thing happens to the buying power of agriculture, industry is hurt just as badly. Right now congress is considering the renegotiation of all government contracts. The law was passed on April 28, 1942. Some people are urging that these new renegotiation bureaus should examine contracts made long before the law was passed. Take the case of a contract made In 1940. The work has been done and paid for; taxes have been paid to the government on the profits, if any; labor has been paid and the money balance distributed either in repairs to plant or perhaps paid in dividends to stockholders. Danger of Retroactive Measures. Suppose that same thing happened te our local store, or even to our farmers themselves. Suppose the prices we received for our crops, or the conservation payments by the government for 1941 or 1940 were suddenly to be “renegotiated.” Ev­ ery farmer has either fed out or sold his crop, purchased new ma­ chinery or perhaps painted the barn, or bought a new dress for his wife. If, under a retroactive law, he were suddenly put np against the threat of renegotiation, all of his credit, and perhaps even his investment would be disturbed. No one wants unfair profits or ex­ cessive dividends out of war con­ tracts. Investigation has shown that over 95 per cent of industry and business made no excessive profits out of the war. Certainly no farm­ ers have received excessive prices for farm crops. Now Is the Time for Unity We want to get on with this war. We must have unity. Unity is based upon mutual confidence in our gov­ ernment and in each other. We are all looking forward to a return of peace after the war has been won. We will then want to resume our domestic markets, replace worn-out farm machinery and resume our normal trade relationships. Indus­ try and business will need all of their American ingenuity and strength to provide jobs which, in turn, furnish our domestic market after the war. True, renegotiation at present is applied only to industry and con­ tracts with the government. But we all recognize the good old American principle that what is sauce for the goose is' sauce for the gander. If business contracts can be re­ negotiated under a law passed long after the business contracts were made, how about the sanctity of our own contracts? Just now the fire seems far from our own neighborhood, but if we look closely, our domestic markets, both now and after the war, are involved. We can well take time off to show a little neighborly spirit and help put out the fire. The Peeples’ Edict Money to pay for the war, yes; but no money for frills in the civil operations of any of our governing bodies. That is the edict of the Aireiiccn people.

Is a question heard an many sides. It will come out of the 45-billion dollar surplus earnings of 1943, according to statistics reported by Treasury experts.During 1941 personal savings of individuals amounted to 9 billion dollars. During 1943 this surplus or prospective savings will increase by 36 billion dol­lars over 1941 when consumer goods were easy to get.Now that prices are high, thrifty people will make their goods last longer and place mere money In War Bonds. . Ifs A PeepIe1S War We are paying more in taxes than ever before . . . and likely will pay more. But we cannot rely on taxes to finance the war. It would not be fair to base a tax on the average single fam­ily income when many families have more than one income. We could borrow all toe money from toe banks, but for both economic and social reasons this is undesirable. The gov­ ernment would that sacrifice its greatest dam against infla­tion.
