Obristiansdonot possess this spirit. It belongs to sinners, backsliders and mere pro fessors of religion, and not to the true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. What does it mean to be preju diced, or possess this spirit? Let’s look at the meaning of the word Webster defines it thus: "Prejudg* ment; an unreasonable predilection for, or objection to, anything: es pecially an opinion or leaning ad verse to anything, without just grounds, or before sufficient know ledge. Mischief, hurt, damage, in. jury, detriment. To obstruct or injure bv prejudices, or by previous bias of the mind; hence, generallv, to hurt, to damage.” The devil is the author of preju dice. He has implanted it in the hearts, minds, souls and spirits of legions of people, not only keeping them out of the kingdom of heav en, and defeating them in life, but hindering those who would serve and worship God, and making it hard for those who do serve and worship God. This spirit has held many a man down in life; many a woman; and has kept them from rising and accomplishing good and great things and reaching the goal of success here and heaven here after. One of the greatest hindrances to the progress of the church and the work of Christianity is that of pre judice. Many people simply allow prejudice to fill their minds, hearts and lives until they can never get to God, or won't, unless they rea Iize just their ungodliness, and the fact that they are doing themselves end their fellows great harm. Mul titudes ot professed Christians are so prejudiced towards others, per haps because they do not belong to their group, or do not conform to their ideas and opinions, or do not agree on their points af doctrine, until they do the cause of God far more harm than good. There are literally multitudes of prejudiced church members. If theiT church doesn’t go, they don’t want to see another go. Many of them don’t want to have anything to do with other churches. They won’t fel* lowship atiy but their own. They wouldn’t think of trying to win a soul to Christ in a church of a dif ferent denomination than that of their own. Lorenzo Dow said of prejudice that it is “the devil’s tel escope that magnifies and deceives. Life’s better way is free from pre judice, but is that of love and good wilt toward all men. Amen. A change In' leadership saved Brl- tain in 1940. It will save America in 1944. * * 1 W U a i tIfO t t . B u y W iiU WAR JD N D S 5 O cm ii Navy When Pearl Harbor burst upon us our great expanse M territory was protected by a one ocean navy ot about 350 first line ships \ with an addition ot an approximate number building. Now we are in a five ocean war and we are required not only to pay for the building of enough ships of the line hut also for hundreds of Lib erty Aips and auxiliary craft The amount of money you invested in War Bonds when we had a one ocean navy was all right then, it isn’t enough now. Buy more and more War Bonds.- U.S. Tnatorf Dtpartmtnt My Notions John Wesley Clay, In Wioston Jontnal. It is often said that wine and beer promoted good fellowship. Perhaps they do. We have often seen them promote just tbe oppo site, however. Bnt if they promote good fellow, ship then why is it that when there is friction between races, and class es, strikes, etc., the authorities al. ways close the strong-drink shops? Seems that if drink promotes good fellowship that is the very time it should be dispensed without bln. der. When a strike is on why not bring out the beer wagon and let everybody get on, and thus pro mote good fellowship, for certainiy dangerous differences can be settled better where good fellowship pre vails But nope, that is the very time our city fathers cut off the beer. Eut maybe they think beer and wiue are not as harmless as they are said to be. Ii drink is danger ous why do they sell men the priv ilege of serving it to the public? If it is harmless why do they with hold it from men during a strike? ’Course, our city fathers are wise, but they are passing wise if they can explain these things. HeavierTaxeshevitable While wehave no figures for North Carolina, a Washington dispatch mvs that the Ruml Plan version will re sult in a per capita "forgiveness” which range from $7 in North Dako ta to $730 in Delaware. Frankly, we are not interested in any alleged ‘forgiveness” because what comes to the taxpayer in this manner will be more than taken from him by other and additional taxation. Despite tbe long debate in Con gress, tbe propaganda that fooled millions of Americans and the efforts of politicians to acquire a flicker of popularity, the fact remains that the nations is spending so much money for war purposes that heavier taxa tion iB inevitable. So far as we can see, it makes lit tle difference to tbe average citizen whether tbe maney is taken from on tbe basis of a 1942 income tax or a 1943 war-financing tax. The net result for most little Americans will be heavier than ever and there is no way to avoid them. Let’s Not Follow Italy! Sandhill Qtizen says: Following the first World War over in Italy was a man named Benito Mussolini. He felt himself bigger than the gov ernment of Italy and managed to become Dictator of bis country. But bear in mind Italy was on the sides of the Allies in the first World War. ITon know the rest of the story a- bout Italy and Mussolini. Here in America we have a man something like Mussolini. We call him John L. Lewis. We will win tbe war but let’s hope we don’t find our selves in the same predictment Italy later found herself in. with a dicta tor over us. With half a million coal miners to vote for him to start with and with their their wives and kinsmen probably coming under tbeir influ ence, John L. Lewis stands as a big ger threat to the American way of life today than did Huey P. Long when he wes killed almost a decade ago. Let’s profit by Italy’s folly. To Hasten Victory 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 minions of our hoys on our far flung fronts—it Is imperative that- every- Ameri can do his part in the Second War Loan. There is an in vestment to fit every parse. The most you can do Is IitiIe enough compared with the sac rifice offered by onr boys In service. They give their Uvea —yon lend your money. Let Us Pray (By Rev. Loy D. Thompson) Let us think today of two phas es of prayer. The one is the prat er of solitude; the other the prayer of collaboration. Jesus encourages both types of prayer. As a matter of fact he practices both kinds of prayer. He resorted to tbe secret place of prayer and prayed alone. Also he joined others in tbe act and practice of prayer. Hear him as he speaks of private prayer: "But thau when thou prayest, en ter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father, which is in secret, and thy Father, which seeth in secret shall recompense thee ” Then secret prayer brings results. It has its rewards to offer us. When we have brought secret prayer to a close we can feel that our inner life has been strengthened with grace and onr sympathies have been broadened and our nature has been uplifted. Besides we can have the assurance that, if our prayer has been offer ed in conformity with his will, it has exerted power through God’s spirit upon some one for whom we have sent up our petition. As we repair to the secret place from time to time we shall create in our own heaits an atmosphere of prayer and instead of prayer being only an ac tivity it will become an attitude. We shall be able to do what Christ suggested when he said. "Men ought always to pray and not to faint.” Again the prayer of collabora tion is equally important. Without this second form of prayer we should dwindle down into a chilling and devastating self-centredness. Listen to the words: "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” To make such prayer effective we must assemble in the name oi Christ. He says: “ There I am in themidst of them.” And he offers to grant them whetever they ask. He is speaking to people who love God supremely, serve him wholehearted ly, believe in him without question ing, espouse his cause ardently, make his wav their will and accord him first place in their lives Chris tians like that can get a beaiing and an answer, in accord with bis will. _____________ "If the bureaucratic parasites who have fed so long on the peo ple are not smart enough to keep their hosts alive, we must take tbe bull by the horns lest we all go down In defeat.

U. S. Trtatutf Dtpartmtnt Put Uqoor Ratiooio; Book h Collection Plate (Carl Goerch, In The State) We have a friend whose friend ship we want to keep. And so, be cause of that fact, we cannot re veal his name at this particular time. You’ll understand why as you keep on reading. This friend—let’s call him Mr. Hawkins for tbe sake of conven ience — recently went through a spell of serious Illness. He went over to Duke Hospital, in Durham, and spent about three weeks there before he was allowed to come home again. And then, after about another two weeks, he was permitted to go back to work again. He realized that be had had a close shave, and this fact caused him to think about tbe more se. rious things of life. Had he been a good husband and father? He felt that he had. Had he been fair in his dealings with others? He felt that he had. Had he attended church services regularly? That question caused him to stop and think. He suddenly rea. Uzed that he hadn’t been as con. scientious in church as he should have been inside a church. It worried him. The following Sunday, right after breakfast, he spoke to his wife and said: "Lucy; I believe I’ll go to chnrch with you this morning.” After she had recovered from the shock and had once more be come almost normal, she said: "Frank, there’s nothing you could do that would give me greater pleasure. I can’t begin to tell you how delighted I am.” And so, at about a quarter to eleven, they got into their car and drove around to the church. Var- ious members extended Mr. Haw. kins a cordial welcome and told him how glad they were to see him. Even the preacher, after wiping off his spectacles to make sure that he wasn't seeing things, came forward and shook hands. "We are delighted to have you with us. Brother Hawkins,” he told him. Brother Hawkins expressed his thanks. 4The services were about to start Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins took their seats well toward tbe front of the front of the building. As they seated themselves, Mr. Hawkins whispered: "Here are tbe church envelopes, - Frank. You can drop them into tbe plate.” Mr. Hawkins nodded and put tbe envelope in his left coat pocket. (Please don’t overlook that: we said his left coat pocket.) The services started with the us ual preliminaries. Then the preach, er announced: , "We will now take up the morning offering.” Members of the board of deacons stepped forward, picked up their plates and proceeded to pass them up and down the lines of pews. * One of the plates reaebed the pew in which Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins were located. As he saw it ap. ; ptoaching. Mr. Hawkins reached into his pocket for the envelopes. He reached into his RIGHT coat 1 pocket, felt of the euvelopes and, as he grabbed bold of tbe plate, drop ped them in. And then, as the person next to him took tbe plate, Mr. Hawkins happened to glance at it, and got the shock of his life. For an in stant be sat as a. person transfixed. Then he made a motion as though to rise. His wife grabbed him by the arm and whispered: "What tbe world is the matter?” lTve played bell!” he murmured.

"We’re ruined!” "What have you done?” "I thought I put the envelopes in the plate.” "That’s what you did, didn’t you?” "No; I didn’t” “ What did you put in?” "My liquor-rationing book!” Mrs. Hawkins opened her mouth to scream, but with a superhuman effort managed to control herself. The plate continued on its way toward the - rear of the church. Various members, who heretofore had been manifesting an air of list lessness and indifference, suddenly sat up in their seats. Expressions of delightful appreciation appeared upon their countenances as they saw what was in the plate. There were gasps of pleasure and excited whisperings. Finally tbe deacon, who all this time had been debating with him self what to do, reach into the plate, picked up the book and slipped it into his pocket. Tbe services continurd. Tbe preacher preached a migbty fine ser ■non and at its conclusion, pro nounced the benediction. "Let's get out of here quick!” hissed Mrs, Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins readily assented. They were among tbe first ones out of their seats and had arrived at the front door when the shrill voice of one of tbe ddacons was heard calling: Brother ,Hawkins! .Just a mement, Brother Hawkins!” "Don’t stop!” whispered Mrs. Hawkins. “ But the deacon was catching up with them. "Here’s something you evidently put into the plate by mistake.” he said in an unneces sarily loud tone of voice. And then, to tbe accompainment of broad grins on tbe part of those in the immediate vicinity, be handed Mr. Hawkins the liquor book. The latter took it with a murmured thanks, and then he and Mrs. Haw. kins got away from there as quick ly as possible. He hasn’t been back to church since. OMtafIlB WM does asf wN J l • war.

Boyhood Promise W hat his Made to M other tJ ains ha.vedone inhauling war supplies and moving troops on top of their regular traffic makes every railroad man from president to brakie hold his head high. This is the second war Pelly has had to contend with. Twenty- five years back he was keeping soldiers and munitions rolling successfully over the Illinois Central, for which he was then superintend ent of the Southern division. Leaving the University of Illinois early because his family needed an extra bread winner, he started out teaching school in Anna, 111., where he was born 65 years ago. When the Illinois Central gave him his first job as a clerk at Anna, he promised his mother he’d give her a ride some day in his special car. He kept his word. Before that, however, he had been a section hand. The fine physique he’d gained hoeing onions on his father’s farm stood him in good stead there. Soon he was foreman of the gang and in 1904 his road made him a division supervisor. Later he worked all over the system, ris ing with each move. When he left the Illinois Central in 1926 to head the Central of Georgia Railway, he bad become vice president in charge of operations. In 1929 he moved to New York as top man of the New Haven. Five years later even the travel-worn commuters mourned when he left for his present job. A SKED once what his hobby was, James Vincent Forrestal re plied "obscurity.” That’s something he gets little chance to enjoy these ,, , days in hisHas Obscartty for role of ^ Hobby-NeverAble dersecre- ToM eetU pW ithlt tary °fnavy. In fact, ever since he took over that job in August, 1940, just two months after congress created it, and be came the driving force behind the production of ships, planes and guns, he has been very much in the fore ground. Blunt in speech, quick in his grasp of new and intricate problems, steady under pressure, this civilian from Wall Street hits It off well with the Annapolis-trained career officers. Forrestal is a product of the Hudson valley. He was bora in Beacon, N. Y., 51 years ago. After graduating from high school there, he tried his hand at newspaper reporting before entering college. He started at Dartmouth, but finished at Princeton. Despite the fact that he had to work his way through, he found time to edit the Daily Princetonian. The last war, in which he was a naval aviator, interrupted his financial career for a couple of years, but soon after the Armistice he was back at it. The twenties were still young when he became Clarence Dillon’s right-hand man. In June, 1940, when President Roosevelt called him to Washington as an executive assistant, he left the presidency of Dillon Read & Co. to accept. ♦---- I) RIG. GEN.

They haven’tkept him clear of excitement And danger, though. As a result his coun ter has just awarded him the Dis tinguished Flying Cross. He has made extremely hazardous flights to the South Pacific, the Orient, the Middle East and Russia. On these he displayed "conspicuous courage and initiative,” his citation read. Early in the War be was kick ing that he had missed all the shooting. Then while he was in Port Darwin, the Japs cut loose with an air raid, and he was slightly wounded. He had had,, two other close calls. Last December while he was touring the Russian front a land mine left by the Nazis just missed blowing) up his car. In April, when on his present mission, his plane developed engine trouble over the South Atlantic and the pilot barely got it back to Brazil. General Hurley won a Distin guished Service Medal with Ameri can Expeditionary Forces in France in World War I when he fought in the Aisne-Marne, Argonne 1 and St. Mihiel sectors. In this conflict his organization of blockade running into the Philippines and his observations in Russia got him an Oak Leaf Cluster. The Spanish-American war was the only scrap of his lifetime he missed. He tried to join Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders then, but they ruled him too young. He was bom down in the Choctaw country o/ ■What was then Indian Territory.

Their weapon is a 15-inch gun—the same size as the guns aboard the 32,000-ton-British battleship, Repulse, which was sunk on December 9, 1911, by the Japanese.

The dugout has a tent roof to keep out the bitter wind and cold of the bleak island that became a cemetery for the enemy. Most of the Japanese were killed in battle or committed suicide. Few were captured. The end of Japanese resistance on Attu was marked by a final suicidal enemy attack, early in the morning. The resulting battle was a slaughter in which it has been esti mated that 50 Japanese were killed for every American. Some of the Japs struck their hand grenades against their helmets to start the detonation mechanism, then held the grenades to their chests nntil the explosion ended their lives. The final attack occurred in American positions above Cories Lake. One American colonel and other officers were surrounded in a tent from which they fought off Japs for seven hours. An example of the ac curacy of the American’s shooting was shown when the body of an Alaskan scout was found with twelve dead Japs lying in a half circle around him.

Short Iy after the meeting a further gasolinr cut was rumored for the Midwest; CWKU Feature—Thiough special arrangement with The Amerieaa Magazine.) I have just arrived in America from Tokyo. As a neutral diplomat I have seen, beyond the curtain of censorship and terror, Japan at war. I was the Argentine consul in Hong Kong when the Japs conquered and looted ;that city. Later I was sec- ond in charge of the Argentine Ein- bassy in Tokyo, where I remained until recently, when I was able to leave Japanese territory via Si- beria. , , .As soon as I arrived In Tokyo I began to notice an atmosphere of fear and dread in the foreign em bassies and legations such as I had never seen in diplomatic circles be fore, even under wartime conditions. Strangely enough, this existed among the Germans and Italians as well as among the representatives of neutral nations.It was caused partly by the constant spying and surveillance of the Japanese police, partly by the annoyances and insults to which all Europeans were subjected when they went into the streets (quite unlike the Jap> anese/ politeness of former times), and partly by the of fensive arrogance of Japaiiesa officialdom, fed fat with the great early victories. I saw an official of the Italian Em bassy get into a taxicab at the rail way station. Three Japanese came along and wanted the cab. They reached in, yanked the Italian dip lomat out, punched him and got into tiie cab. Polite to Russians. The Russians, who had a large diplomatic staff, kept very dose to themselves within the spacious quar ters of their embassy. Whenever they ventured out, they were closely followed by numbers of Japanese police. But the Japs, mindful of Russian air bases within range of Tokyo, were careful to preserve a correct attitude toward their pow erful neighbors. The Japs held the Italians in con tempt because of the failures of the Italian troops in Europe. The Ital ians feared the Japs, and several of them told me that if they lose in Europe and thus become useless to the Japanese as military allies, they believe the Japanese will massacre them. The attitude of the Germans in Tokyo toward their Japanese allies, the "honorary Aryans,” is one of mingled suspicion and dislike, which verged toward uneasiness and fear as Germany began to suffer mili tary reverses in Russia and Africa. Last fall there were three German raiders moored at the main pier in Yokohama harbor, near Tokyo— one a cruiser and two converted merchant ships. There was also, nearby, a prize ship, captured from the British. I saw many of the Ger man crew members from these ships shortly before they were preparing to sail. Then one morning we heard a se ries of explosions, heavy enough to shake out windows. We got Into the embassy car and drove across to Yokohama. The town was in con fusion, with much shattered window glass in thie streets, fire sirens screaming and ambulances racing toward the docks. We learned that all three of the German ships, and a tanker fueling them with oil, had blown up. The prize ship and an other ship were on fire. There was intense anger that evening among the German col ony in Tokyo. It was freely charged at the German Club, that “this is the jealous rivalry of the Japanese, who are envious of the Reich, and have sabo taged ear ships and UUed our sailors." About 80 German sailors were killed, 160 injured and many more missing. No word of this disaster was allowed to get into the Japa nese press. What the true origin of the explosions was I was never able to find out. Some Japanese of ficials told me that two American submarines had crept into the harbor and torpedoed the ships. But the next day they realized that this cast doubt on the invincible Jap navy, so they changed their story to Chinese communist spies and saboteurs. The Germans had other griev ances against their Jap allies. There were many German families from Java who had taken refuge in Tokyo while the Japs were conquering the Dutch East Indies. These families owned valuable lands and proper ties in Java. After the Japs had completed their conquest, these Ger mans wanted to go back and resume possession and management of their estates. The Japs bluntly told them this was impossible. Java was a “mili tary zone” and would remain so in definitely.

STORING PAOlT A reader has sent in the following: “When preparing a partially empty can of paint for storage, first clean all paint from the sealing sur faces of the can and lid to insure an airtight closing of the lid. To prevent the trapped air in the can from evaporating the paint solvent, shake the can vigorously for a few seconds to saturate the trapped air thoroughly with the solvent. Thus, when tiie can is stored the air can not absorb any more solvent and film cannot form. Stand the can upside down for storage, so that the joint around the Ud will b« sealed. Condensation on Walls Question: Some time ago my stuc co house was brick-veneered. No air space was left between the walls. During rainy or humid weather the walls sweat and stain the wallpaper. Is there a preparation which can be applied over the plaster to pre vent sweating? If so, can the walls be painted or papered over this so lution? Answer: No kind of paint will stop the condensation. The answer to your problem is insulating board ap plied over furring strips to provide the air space that now is lacking and to minimize differences in tem perature. It will help to dry out the air of the house if you leave the fireplace damper open during rainy weather. Additional ventilation also would help. Turning Circle for Cars Question: What is the minimum diameter necessary for a turning circle in front of our house to ac commodate any type of car? We plan to make an island in the cen ter containing an old millstone. Answer: For large passenger cars the radius of the outside curb should be 28 feet, and the radius of the in side curb 16 feet. This will accom modate small trucks. Finish for Shingles Question: The wood shingles on the walls of our house were put on ten years ago and now are in need of attention. One painter advises re- staining, another suggests painting. Which do you recommend?Answer: After ten years the stain undoubtedly is weathered out of the wood, and the shingles either can be painted or stained. The choice of the finish is up to yourself. Fireplace Flans Question: Where can I get plans for building a stone fireplace for a frame cottage? Answer: I do not know of any pub lication for this. But you can get ideas by looking over back issues of Better Homes and Gardens, Ameri can Home, and similar publications, which have many illustrations of fireplaces. You can see back issues at your public library. Oil In Fine Passages Question: I have heard that spray ing the flue passages of a boiler with oil will prevent rusting during the summer months. But won’t this oil cause an explosion when the heat is turned on in the fall?Answer: Not unless the flue pas sages are soaked too heavily with oil. Bunning a low fire for a half hour or so will evaporate the sur plus oil. Remodeling Question: Where can I get leaflets on the remodeling of old houses? Answer: Send five cents to the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., and ask for Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1749, which has the title “Modernizing Farm houses." You can also get informa tion from your local office of the Federal Housing administration. Preparintr to Paint ' Question: I wish to paint our win dow frames on the outside, and am rather pressed for time. The frames are quite dirty. What is the quick est way of cleaning them so that I can paint them immediately after? Answer: It might be enough just to brush Ihe dust off. If not, you could use a wire brush and wipe with turpentine. Cracked Boiler Question: Can a crack in a cast- iton boiler be welded satisfactorily?Answer: Yes, it can be. You can get a mechanic with a portable welding outfit to come and do Sie job. Inquire of a heating contractor, a steamfitter or a plumber. Protecting Tools Question: How can I keep my tools from rusting? I keep them in both a metal and wooden toolchest in a damp basement. Answer: After using, rub them all over with vaseline. Before using again, wipe well. Iteiled Hot Water ★ '.ip. ■' £ * .-k' ★ HOUSiHOLD m s m o s . . . ^ Use a Water-Bath for Canning Tomatoes, Fruits (See Recipe Below) Try Canning! Many homemakers who have nev er done so before will be hard at work doing some old - fashioned “putting up” this summer. Not only will it be econom ical to put up your own Victory garden’s surplus, but also it will be a vital step in stretching those precious points next winter. Canning’s simpler today and much of the spoilage that occurred for merly can be prevented if the home maker checks the causes of spoil age. There’s a reason for every type of spoilage, and what’s more important, every one of them can be prevented if she’s careful.First, it’s not smart to use left over produce that you wouldn’t eat at the table. Select only prime fruit and vegetables in perfect condition. Best quality goes into commercial canning, and so it should for home canning. Get out into the garden early in the morning to get vegeta bles and fruits and can immediately, ar if you market, tie a bandana on your hair and go out early in the morning to get your produce while it’s still fresh. Cleanliness is another important factor. Remember that food spoils for other reasons than that the jar is not air-tight. More spoilage than you ever dreamed of can result from not washing the food properly and dis carding bruised or imperfect vegeta bles and fruits. Be sure to peel the food, if it is to be peeled, so that no dirt and the bacteria that lurk in it get rubbed in the product as it is peeled. Work as quic'ly as possible with the food once it’s started on its way to the can. Flat sour, which oc curs in vegeta bles, can often develop in vegetables, for exam ple, if the jars in which the pre cooked food is placed stand too long before proc essing. Too much delay in han dling food from one step to the other may cause a great loss of vitamins and mineral. Do as much preparation ahead of time as possible like checking equipment and .getting together jars which are examined for imperfections and nicks. Wash all jars and caps in soapy suds (not in cool dish water after the breakfast dishes!) and scald or sterilize them. Select Day for Cannifag. If there’s a huge quantity of food to be canned, it would be a good idea to round up as many friends and neighbors to help, and to do the canning on a community basis. In many towns, pressure cookers which Lynn Says Successful Canning: It is easy to do the right thing with foods to be put up in cans if you know the principles and follow directions. Follow the slogan, “two hours from garden to kettle.” Use only fresh, firm, ripe rather than over ripe produce. Wash .all foods carefully before attempting any preparation. Check jars, rubbers if used, and caps along with equipment be fore you start canning. Work at the range as much as possible to save time between steps. Have sterile jars on one side of range, fill them from kettle on stove (or from colander near stove, if us ing fruit which is not pre-cooked), and place immediately in water bath or pressure cooker or oven. Jars should be washed in a pan of soapy suds and scalded, in verted on a clean towel until used. Yonr Canning Shelf *Tomatoes •Beets ’Peas Green Beans Spinach Corn •Becipe given are necessary for canning non-acid vegetables, are available at the can ning center. Then, if all produce must be canned in a single day, it will be necessary to recruit as much help as possible from others in your community and give them your time when needed. Canning day should be canning day only, not laundry day, general cleaning and baking day, too. Ifs better, too, hot to be overly ambi tious and try to do three bushels of tomatoes, all in one sweep, for you will do better with a small quantity, and feel less tired, even though it may take several days in which to finish. Processing Foods. Fruits and vegetables need processing which means the application of heat to the product for a certain definite period of time. You just can’t put fruit into jars, seal and store and expect them to stay in perfect condition. Water-Bath Method. In some cases, when pressure cookers are not obtainable, a water- bath may be used for vegetables and meats. However, the water-bath is more preferable for tom atoes (which are acid, and technically a fruit) and fruits. To make a water bath, use-a large wash boiler or deep vessel fitted with a rack made of laths, perforat ed material or galvanized wire. Have a tight fitting cover. Place prepared jars on the rack which must hold them at least Vt inch above bottom of the canner. The water bath should be filled with boiling water which comes at least an inch or two above the tops of the jars. Jars on the rack should not touch each other. Start counting processing time as soon as water around jars begins to bubble, and keep it boiling during entire process ing period. If necessary, add boil ing water, if it boils away, for the water must always be boiling at least an inch above the tops of the jars. Here are some recipes for common fruits and vegetables:. 'Tomatoes. Scald tomatoes in boiling water I minute. Soak in cold water I min ute, peel, core,, quarter and pack into dean, sterile jars. Add no wa ter. Add a teaspoon of salt to each quart of tomatoes. Put on band and screw band firmly tight. Process, in hot water bath for 35 minutes.♦Peas. Shell, grade peas, using only prime quality. Pre-cook 3 to 7 min utes depending on size. Pack loose ly, adding hot water to within I inch of top. Adjust cap and process in pressure cooker, 60 minutes at 10 pounds, or 180 minutes in hot water bath. *Beets. .Use small, uniform beets. Wash carefully. Leave the roots and stems long. Boil IS minutes. Plunge into cold water, remove the skins and pack into clean jars. Add 2 tea spoons of salt and sugar mixture to each quart jar if desired. Fill to within Vi inch of top, with boiling water. Put on cap, screwing band firmly tight. Process, in hot-water bath 120 minutes or in pressure cooker 40 minutes at 10 pounds.

I’ve been proud many times to say that Donthit is my brother, but this la test deed of yours seems to strike even deeper into that pool of broth, erly love. You’re ace-high in my book and always will be. I want yon to remember this always, and as years come and go maybe some day I can give you the thrill I have had; that of saying proudly, “He’s my brother.” I’m sure that you d’dn’t want to do what you did—in fact, you drea ded the idea, but anyone can do things which are easily or pleasant ly done, Htat only a brave person can turn about arid take the hard way out. For this mv hat goes off to one swell guy. I don’t know whether any of the experiences I’ve had in a little over four months in the army will help you, but they might help your outlook. Please take them for what you think they are worth. First of all, and most important is your mental view. This can, by itself, make or break you, and it will unless you, and you alone, can direct it. This is but a job that must be done. You didn’t cause it and don’t deserve the dirty job of cleaning it np, bnt neverthe less you’re best qualified to do the job. When you weren’t as capa ble as you are now, someone did the job and provided for you. Now you have the opportunity to repay them. This isn’t any recruiting speech but merely a thought or two to ease your troubled mind. I know it is troubled because mine was This is, as I said before, just a job so let’s get going and go back home.

Local and state activities—as well as the part local Greyhound people and service play in them—will be featured in all of these advertisements.Some highly interesting facts bont the state’s great highway sys tem will be the basis of one advertisement—with special emphasis on what these roads have meant in the past, and will mean in the future, to this county and its neighbors. The newspaper of our state—both dailies and weeklies—will come in for their share of attention as will the splendid grade schools, secondary schools and colleges of this state. Our pride in the rich farmlands of this area and the state’s leading industries will be expressed in still other advertisements. Greyhound executives state that they have chosen to * point with pride” to local achievements and institutions because Greyhound feels itself to be a part of the community —its people live here, their children go to school here, and a great pro portion of the bus service Grey- ionnd provides in this region is de finitely local in nature—a great share of this service being to war plants, farming centers and neighboring communities.

CHAPTER XVia I could see the whole group had stopped to listen. And also that the sailboat had completely disappeared. Victor bent over Mr. Quincy’s chair and whispered to him. “With a monkey,” I went on. “A cute little monkey looking at itself in a vanity mirror.” “Arlene Parker,” I overheard Quincy whisper to Victor. Evident ly he heard what I was telling Pot ter, too. “Did you say she had a monkey in her arms?” “Yes. Why?” “Oh, nothing. Just a coincidence, I suppose. But Arlene Parker did a magazine cover a while ago of some movie star holding a monkey. ‘Movie Beauties' it was. Just won dered if it might have been this niece of Miss Kendall’s—what’s her name?” “Gloria Lovelace. Know her, Pot ter?” His wide eyes held Victor’s as he shook his head. “Never been West,” he said. “Judy, I’d like to see that por trait, if you’ll get it,” Victor said. “Perhaps Mr. Quincy can tell if it’s this Gloria Lovelace.” “Oh, it is,” I said quickly. “It’s on her bureau now. I just com pared it.” "Get the painting.” I brought down the double pic ture and they all gathered arouhd to look at first one side and then the other. “ i..ere, you see?” Albion pointed. "The initials prove I didn’t paint the portrait, just as I said/’ Any one could see he was telling the truth, for the letters were blunt print on the church side and sort of hieroglyphics on the other; but both distinctly A. P. “Same as the cover, all right. How’d you get hold of it, Potter?” For a moment I thought he seemed a little confused. “Picked it up in a second-hand store in Bos ton. Liked the monkey. Why should I have to tell you people I couldn’t afford a lot of canvas.” Thaddeus Quincy played with his cane. “Too bad you daubed that green paint on. Think you could get it all off some way? Arlene’s hus band would pay you a fat price for that picture.” “You know him?” Victor asked. “Know of him. Who doesn’t? Al bert Parker—the famous movie director, He nearly went nuts when his wife ran away with Lane, but it wasn’t until after she came home again to die that he began collecting her work.” “You—you can have it back, Mr. Potter.” “Keep it, Judy,” he said, a bit huskily. “Sell it if you like. I don’t care.” “Of course you don’t, Parker.” Potter whirled on Victor. “What did you call me?” “I called you Albert Parker—Ar lene’s husband. Coincidences like this don’t just happen except in sto ry books. Your initials and Pot ter’s, I mean. Your having a pic ture in your possession worth a lot of money dud you ostensibly so hard up. Easy enough to trace, once the police get here, or do you deny it?” Across the cove a little speck ap peared on the water. Was it the po lice boat?"No, I don't deny it,” Potter re torted. “What if I am Parker? Where does that get you? Any more of a motive for scotching that snake than Quincy’s here? Sure, Fm Parker.-What the hell of it?” “If you’re trying to connect me with Lane’s death you’re out of luck, that's all. I went to town that night. That let’s me out. Dropped into the movies. ' The picture was ‘Love’S Tirade.’ Want me to tell you all about it?” ‘‘Not if you directed it in the mak ing,” Victor said. "Why, damn you, Quade—I’ve gol the stub in my pocket somewhere, I think.” He fished around in sev eral pockets of his dowdy, un pressed, much-worn gray suit and produced a purple stub. “Thank God I saved that!" I gawked at the stub along with the rest of them. I’d been to the movies a lot at the Head myself and couldn’t help noticing. "But that’s an afternoon stub,” I sa'.a. “They’re pink at night.” “I hanks, Judy.” Victor frowned at poor Potter, who nervousiy be gan to light -the first cigar I’d ever seen mm smoke Il had a fine aro ma. not nasty like Uncle Wylie's pipe "Ynu'li have to fish for an- OtilCl Ml-U ' Potter iielended Io fish. “I've h u e o, toe Siinwrincie than once," lie sc ...rid “ it you're trying to put me oo the Spm Im this business J H s v i.;'.I iiu.v I pad no reason to P-I-'1 I > h : anil .mo liie Irdgi: P l R A T E S H E A D B q I S A B E L W A l T J s / down there and I never saw Old Man Brown.” “Oh, look! Here it comes!” There could be no mistaking that the speck had grown considerably larger and was heading our way. “Well, thanks be!” “Won’t be long now!” “No, that fingerprint in your vani ty case powder will soon be identified, Judy. Then we’ll see if it matches the one on what I saw on the rocks'near the Pirate’s Mouth and the partial whorls on the Lane diamond. “What are you talking about?” demanded Hugh Norcross. “Prints. Fingerprints. We have three—probably more— but three that will count. The fellow who parked that evidence in Judy’s compact—” “But it was only a bead!” “Bless you, yes! Brilliant rain bow, square cut, worth a small for tune. The killer may have wiped your golf club clean of prints, Nor cross, but he pulled a boner when he left his finger touch Judy’s powder.” “And this thing which you saw on the rocks near the Pirate’s W -M -U - R E L E A S E “Leakin’ like a sieve!” Mouth,” Potter’s tone was scathing. “Where is it now?” De Witt spoke from the doorway. “I’d like to know, too.” “The police will tell you,” Victor said. “Let’s go meet them.” “Let’s.” Albion Potter tore down the steps, taking the path toward the woods by the barn, but suddenly he stopped short and veered for the wharf. He leaped into the Eleanor and pushed off before the crowd realized what, was happening. “I’ll meet them!” he cried, rowing for dear life in the leaky boat. By the time the men reached the rickety wharf, the Eleanor, carry ing Potter, was out of reach. “Man, you’ll sink!” called my Uncle Wylie, and at that I didn’t bother with the quest of the willow stump but tore after the others.Aunt Nella came trotting along, too. “Is he crazy! Leakin’ like a sieve!” Indeed, the water covered several inches above the boat's bottom.“Come on back,” Victor cried. “You’ll never reach the police.” Potter glanced over his shoulder, though he kept tugging at the oars, putting more distance between him and the wharf. He made little prog ress, but enough so that no one, had he desired, could leap aboard. The other boat was getting bigger and bigger. Only the matter'of a few minutes. - The screen door banged behind us. Bessie Norcross came running down to where her brother was standing. “Hughie, darling! There’s a launch coniing. Stay with trie till it’s over.” Then she was among us; asking questions and clinging to her brother. Hugh told her to be quiet. “Shall ! swim out to him, Quade?” Victor shook his head. “He’d only fight you.” “You bet I would!” Potter said grimly, bracing his feet as the wa ter seeped over his shoes. “I missed when I threw Lane’s revolver over the cUff and it landed in a crevice of the^rocks, but Fm going to make it this time. You’ve got a stupendous mystery to write, Victor Quade. Make a colossal picture. Wish I might have the directing of it. Anything you’d like me to clear up? You’ll have to talk fast.” “Yes, sir. Where’s the body of Hoddy Lane? In the sea?" De Witt asked. Albion grimaced, pointing an oar at the ruins of the shed. “That’s Lane!” “Then where’s Old Man Brown?" yelled Uncle Wylie. “Let me, please,” Victor said. "She's filling fast. You, of course, were Old Man Brown, Mr. Parker’ You came here ana established yourself in that old shack as a rec luse, for the sole purpose of taking vengeance on Lane, whom you knew was coming to the Head. That right?” “God, yes! I adored my wife. She —she wanted to go on with her ca reer as a magazine illustrator. I let her. She did movie stars for covers of movie periodicals; most ly. Among others, several paintings of Gloria Lovelace. Lane,” Potter cried bitterly, “was always hang ing around Hollywood actresses— lavishing money he’d stolen on them. Kept my wife strapped, aft er the first infatuation had worn off. Played her for a sucker, though I didn’t know it till she came home, broken-hearted, after he’d cast her aside for a new pretty face. Arlene was found in her car in the garage. Monoxide. Paper said it was an accident, but I knew better.” “You knew where Lane kept his misbegotten funds? He’d told your wife he would repay her loans—that right?” Parker, or Potter as I thought of him, leaned on the oars and bowed his head. “Let it out to Arlene, just as he did to Quincy’s daughter, he had a big wad hidden in file base ment of the church. I dug it up. It’s now—what’s left of it, about $200,000—deposited in a bank of Boston. Discovered it the day before Lane came, while I was ostensibly fishing off the rocks. Hope at least a percentage can be returned to the rightful claimants." “Disguised as a 'deaf old man, whom nobody ever saw very dis tinctly? The ear apparatus, thick lenses and the stoop made an easy impersonation. Not very difficult to get yourself up as a recluse. Sup pose your business as a director made that second nature. But how did you dare to come to the inn in the role of an obscure artist?” “That,” Potter said, “was to be my alibi. Lane had never known me. I doubt if he’d ever seen me in passing. My wife—women don’t acquaint their husbands with their —their boy friends. As Potter, I was safe, I thought. I don’t really paint, as you must know from the church picture, but Arlene taught me a little just for fun. It came in handy, or I thought it would. Really it led to my undoing. But skip it. The thing was that Old Man Brown was established at the Head. You know they saw the light burning in the fish shed last night. I’d left it to make folks think Brown was at home. After the fire, Brown’s glasses and earphone would be found in the bushes, instead of beside his charred body. If Lane vanished the same night, it would look as if Lane might have killed him, wouldn’t it? Left the big earphone outside the fire area to do away with any theory of accident—Lane’s fingerprints on it!” “The victim used as the killer!” Victor emphasized. “Mighty clev er. Regular movie style.” “Wasn’t it! I could get my re venge and make my victim the supposed murderer in hiding. IHiafis why I left a time bomb at the bridge—to supposedly give Lane a head start and confuse the police. Smashed the boats for the same rea son, but it was a mistake draining his car—too clever. Cut off his means of escape.“Milkman received a phone call from Rockville to leave the milk at the end of the route, on the Fourth, and keep his mouth shut about what he saw, and he’d find an extra $20 in one of his milk bottles the next day. Give it to him, will you, Judy, out of the fund I sent you for the church? You see, I wasn’t sure I’d find Lane’s money before the auc tion, so had you buy the chur„ch where I could browse around later/ if necessary. It wasn’t necessary, and I’m truly sorry I let you in for suspicion. However, keep it for what you will and don’t think too badly of me.” I felt my eyes filling as he looked my way. The water was up to his knees! Any moment I was sure the old Eleanor would disappear into the bay. The chug-chug of the po lice launch was growing louder and louder. I couldn’t speak. I could only nod my head and cry. Bessie Norcross screamed: "He' did it!! I didn’t!. I didn’t! I only confessed to save my brother.” The' fact just seemed to dawn upon her/“We know it. Take her away, Norcross;” Victor said impatiently. He could see the nearness of the police boat, too, and the creeping water in the other. But Hugh merely turned to quiet Bessie. He put his arm around her and I saw her bury her face against his coat. De Witt asked eagerly: “Find any ledgers, Potter? That , church, busi ness I told you about. Wasn’t in New York. It was here. Lane was one of my deacons—the elder Lane. I mean. How I’d like tfMiave the case reopened! His suiciSe, tanta mount to a confession, brought about my pardon. The church funds were on deposit in the bank. There was a forged check. He must have sus pected his son was responsible for everything. About ruined me. I dropped the Smith from my name when I finally was allowed to preach again.” He hadn’t, Potter said, found any books or other papers. Only cash and negotiable securities. I TO BE CONTINUED) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUISTf D. D.Df The Moody Bible Institute of Chicag< (Released by Western Newspaper UnionJ Lesson for July 11 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se Iected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. GOD CAIXS A LEADER LESSON TEXT—Exodus 3:1-12.GOLDEN TEXT—Come now therefore* and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.—Exodus 3:10. — God calls men, commissions, and uses them to carry out His plans and purposes in the earth. What a great truth that is, and how it glori fies the destiny of man to know that it is divinely appointed. As Joseph Parker effectively points out, the experience of Moses in Midian was a direct dealing with God, whereas we who may not be able to “see the .fountain” must “be content to drink at the stream,” but should always remember that the stream flows from that same fountain. “Every man should put to himself the questions. What is my destiny? What does God mean me to be and to do in the world? . . . It is a most pitiable thing that a man should read of Moses being divinely called . . . to a special work” and fail to realize “that God has a spe cial work for every man to do.” Let us be careful that we do not “so pervert and misinterpret circumstances as to press them into a justification of self-will,” rather than recognize ihem as “destiny which is beckoning us to duty.” For our instruction and guidance we consider, then, the story of the call of this outstanding leader of Israel. It presents him as a true servant of God, one who was— I. Personally Equipped. While it is a blessed truth that God will use any man who surren ders himself to His control and guid ance, no matter how limited that man’s ability and trainidg may be, it is also true that, other things be ing equal, the man with the best equipment will be the most useful servant. ' God gave Moses a unique prepara tion. He was first of all a Hebrew, bom among the people that he was to lead. He knew the luxury and all tbe cultural advantages of the Egyp tian court (Acts 7:22), with the safe guard of training by his oym mother as his nurse. He observed at first hand the op pression of his people, and made a self-willed and impulsive effort to deal with the problem. The result was that he had a "postgraduate” course of instruction and discipline in the wilderness, where he spent forty years in the school of experi ence. We have learned anew from our war experience that training for service is essential. If that is true in military matters and in secular life, it is doubly true in the service of Christ. He does graciously use even the humble and untrained worker, but no one who has a vision of service will be content to remain unprepared. H. Spiritually Qualified. Moses was a man who knew God. Had he been a worldly man he would only have been curious regarding the phenomenon of the burn ing bush. But note how alert and reverent he was and how immedi ately responsive to the instructions and the call of God. Here God’s future leader was made conscious of the infinite maj esty and holiness of God, the need of reverence and godly fear, the pur pose of the Eternal One to deliver His people, and the assurance that He would be with His servant. Such a spiritual experience made effec tive the excellent preparation which he already had for service. AU the training and preparation in the world is worse than useless in God’s service apart from that spiritual qualification that comes from true regeneration and dedication to Him, There is no more pathetic sight, than a spiritually powerless church worker going through the motions of service for Christ. U we are in that condition'we may be sure that we deceive nq one but ourselves. HI. Divinely Called. Moses was ealled (v. 4), commis sioned (w . 6-10), and clad with di vine authority (w. 11, 12) for Ms great task. God caUs His servants to different responsibilities and in different ways, but the important thing is that we should know that we are in His will and that we are answering His caU. Ni one has any right to choose full-time Christian service simply as a desirable vocation. In any calling of life man needs God’s guidance in order to make a proper choice, but in the ministry or missionary service it is an absolute essential. If we Werei more careful to seek His win for every individual there would be less unhappiness in the world. But in the case of the one who goes out to speak for God there is not only the danger of distress, but of real disaster for himself and those to whom he tries to minister, ing. Christ. Prepared, qualified, and called, Moses is now ready to meet God before he goes cn to his Ufe of holy exploits for Him. t x r t l s * Jim Wilson T h re e -P ie c er T h a t I s I n d is p e n s a b le Released by Western Newspaper Union* TUST why the Chicago Cubs have. ” spent most of this season as a National league tail-end club is a question that baffles almost every baseball observer. There is no logical reason why the Cubs should be a cellar team. Gen eral Manager Jim -^s Gallagher has been JtV quoted as saying he is unable to deter mine why the team has been eighth best most of the recent weeks of the sea son. Some rather smart baseball ex perts are complete ly mystified at the team’s showing. One thing is cer- Jim Gauasher tam—and only one thing. The Cubs have lost ' a lot more games than they have 1Won. One day the hitting is good and there is no pitching. A couple of days later the pitching is excellent and the hitting nonexistent. Then, the next game may see the defense crumble. Occasionally everything goes to ruin during the same game. At that point the Cubs have one of their “bad” days. But Gallagher doesn't blame Man ager Jim Wilson for the various shortcomings. He insists the Cubs have as good a spirit as any Cub team he’s seen. And Gallagher, as general manager of the club, is Wilson's boss. To date there have been no stories of club dissension—the usual prelude to a managerial change. Even the most bitter critics of the Gallagher - Wilson regime haven’t hinted—at least out loud—that the Cubs are anything less than a fairly, happy ball club. Neither Gallagher nor Wilson have given up the thought that their boys will be pennant contenders before the season winds up in October. The Big Four pitching staff, including Claude Passeau, Lon Waraeke, Bill Lee and Paul Derringer, have shown signs of strength recently, in great contrast to the horrible earlier weeks of the season. It has been charged that Wilson doesn’t get excited about losing. In other words, he grew too accus tomed to the short end of the score during bis years as a Phillie player and manager. He ad justed himself to defeat with no great pain. Gallagher de nies this and insists that Wilson hates to lose as much as any manager in tbe big leagues. Gallagher probably is right. No man likes to lose. And Wilson likely is as optimistic as any other man ager. But his optimism has suffered many a staggering blow during the past months. Whether or not he will come through unscathed is a debat able question.* * * Sarazen’s Donation To a rather weird looking iron club now resting in the museum of the United States Golf association, to day’s low-scoring golfers owe a debt of gratitude. The club is sort of a mongrel job which Gene Sarazen donated to golf’s hall of fame for inanimate ob jects. It is one which helped him win the American Open and Brit ish championships in 1932 and which is largely responsible for the low scores of the present day. The. club head resembles that of a niblick, except that it has a heavy flange at the bottom. Frequent ap plications of lead have made it even heavier. No thing of beauty, Sara zen’s masterpiece resembles something that might be carried by a sportsman-bandit. It’s the forerunner of the present- day sand iron. .’And Sarazen well remembers its history: “Back, in 1932 I had an idea that the sand club Bobby Jones was us ing, with concave space, was il legal. It was subsequently ruled so. I set about to devise a sand iron of my own. “I finally came up with this club with the flanged sole. I made it my self. That year I broke the scoring record in winning the British Open and tied the record in winning the National Open. “In about three weeks there were 10,000 copies of the club being made and distributed, and I think that the low scoring since that time can be traced to that ,club. It eliminates paralysis in the bunkers, and made the good players all masters of bunker play.” Sarazen always was a bold player, and it is said that he became so proficient with the club that he would bet he could get out of a trap and down in one putt four out of five times. In taking the 1932 British Open, Sarazen had rounds of 70, 69, 70 and 74 for a 283 total—two strokes better them the tournament record. That same year he had a poor start in the National Open with a 74 and 76 on his first two rounds. He came In with a 70 for the third tour and fired a blazing 66 for the windup and a total of 286. 8342 12-40 A THREE-PIECE you’ll be glad you own hundreds of times this summer.

Co. little or no vitamin C left in them. Undue exposure to air after the skins are removed and over-cooking in an uncovered container destroy vitamin C. This is one reason that tomatoes should be prepared and canned as quickly as possible. Usually whole tomatoes have more food value than tomato juice, partly because a considerable amount of vitamin A is lost in the pulp that fails to go through the strainer when the juice is made, but mainly because greater exposure to air destroys vitamin C.I f you want first-class canned tomatoes, use freshly gathered, firm- ripe, sound fruit—one small bad spot can ruin a whole batch. Wash the tomatoes before scalding; scald a few at a time. Remove all core, slip off the skins, and cut away green spots. Pack the tomatoes tight into clean hot jars—this is best done by pressing each tomato down with a wooden spoon. Add salt to season to suit your taste—the usual amount is one teaspoon to the quart. Seal jars according to manufacturer’s instructions and process 35 minutes in hot water bath. If tomatoes are not fresh from the garden, process 45 minutes.No juice can be better than the fruit from which it is made, so be sure to use strictly fresh, firm-ripe, red tomatoes, which are free from all decay. Wash well and cut away any green spots or weather cracks. Weauier cracks are those splits that form around the stem ends when hot sunshine follows a hard rain. Such tomatoes are unfit for canning or juice unless used immediately after picking. Leave the tomatoes whole and steam or bake them until they are soft; then press through a fine sieve, preferably a cone-shaped one; reheat the juice to simmering; pour into sterilized jars and process 30 minutes at simmering. The pulp will separate from the juice unless a very fine sieve is used or if too much heat is applied at any time. Oh, so you boil the juice in an open kettle until it is thick? Well, that’s a fine way to get rid of most of those precious vitamins.The best tasting juice is that made by pressing ,whole home canned tomatoes through a sieve just before serving. Any* seasonings liked may be added before canning but the juice will be better if seasonings, except salt, are added when the juice is opened for serving, and even the salt mav be left out. Jar Rubbers Are Different This Year It is now thought that red rubber will be available for jar rings this year but there will be no cause for alarm if the rubbers you buy turn out to be black. It is the rubber, not the color, that counts. True, you may be a bit startled when you open your first package of the war models. “But what of it?” asks Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball Brothers Company, “Our grandmothers got along well enough with lipless rubbers and so can we.” Months ago, manufacturers began experiments to learn how to make jar rings that would conserve both rubber and food—the government set its scientists to the same task. One of the first things upon which all agreed was that lips are unneces sary forojpening jars. The point of a thin knife can be run under the rubber to 'make a tiny space for air to seep through and break the seal. It is then easy to remove cap or lid. It was also agreed that jar rings could be a small fraction of an inch narrower but the thickness must remain at the pre-war standard.War-time rubbers will keep jars sealed air-tight, but they won’t stand abuse. To get good results, break yourself of mat never-good habit of stretching to test and follow these four simple rules: I. Wadi and rinse rubbers. Boil them to sterilize if you can fruits the old-fashioned open-kettle way. If 2. Have rubbers wet when they are used—and be sure that each rubber lies flat bn the sealing Suzw face of the jar. 3. Partly seal all jars before processing. 4. Screw zinc caps and. bands on glass top seal closures slowly when sealing, as quick or jerky turns cause rubbers to slip out of position.

Acmo PhotoHis Pigs Go to War Toung Johnny Clay of Bocky Mount, North Carolina, Is typical of farm children raising victory pigs and devoting profits to War Bonds. Fann Youth of U. S. Looks to Tomorrow 'TOMORROW’S farmers and farm homemakers are second to no school group in their enthusiasm for investing in War Bonds and Stamps to make sure their future is secure. Through the Schools At War program they are investing what they save and earn in War Stamps and Bonds. First evidence of this is the amount the 4-H Club boys and girls and the FFA boys invested in war savings in 1942 from “Victory Pig” and other projects. A million and a half 4-H Club members put $6,000,- 000 of their own savings in War Bonds and Stamps and sold $2,500,- 000 worth of War Savings to their neighbors. Nearly a quarter mil lion members of Future Farmers of America invested more than $1,- 500,000. Spurred by the realization that the financial welfare of farm families the next 20 years depends on how wisely they use today’s higher incomes from increased food and other wartime production, both groups have set their goals still higher for 1943. These farm youths are building financial reserves, and urging their parents to do the same, for after- the-war necessities, to meet financial emergencies and to help them get started in college. They’re building reserves today for tomorrow's farm buildings, and for the other things they will need when they’re tomorrow’s farmers and homemakers.

C No doubt we all knaw what it is to have our plans upset now and then, here and there. Someiimes we suffer much as a consequence. There have been times, perhaps, when our plans were upset that we came very near going down with them, never to rise again. Only the power of God prevented it. It is not always to be understood, at least for the time being, just why some pi n fails to materialize. Perhaps the devil upset it, as this is his business. Especially does he upset plans oftentimes which are calculated to do much and lasting good. However, if we will pray much, be true and faithful unto God, and trust Him fot other plans, we may be assured that He will bring us out victorious. Maybe he sometimes allows tbe enemy to up* set our plans in order to give ' us something better. We should not be knocked off our feet if the ene my upsets some plan; but draw closer to God, pray more, love and obey Him more sincerely and leave it all in His hands to work out for us. Praise His holy name. It is perhaps a fact that our plans may be upset sometimes by God. He can and will wreck them when it pleases Him. He knows best. Maybe our plans were not for the best, therefore He !aid them in the dust. No doubt this has been the case with many people. But if we really and truly love the Lord, and will hold right on to His nncbang- ing hand, and will keep faith in Him, and stay bumble and prayer ful, He will work it all out to our good, to the good of others, and to His glory. Amen. Perhaps we sometimes plan too small. God wants something larger. He sees wherein we would come short of our best, therefore He upsets the plan in order to lead us -out on a different line, toward a different place and goal. He knows best. We should always trust ffrm. No doubt God has upset the plans of sinners across the ages of time in ordr to save them from a Ufe of failure, wreck and ruin, and from hell and to heaven. It was through His love and mercy He did so. If the sinner had bad bis own way, and carried out his plan, or plans, he would have defeated himself and others, and would have been lost in a devil’s hell. What a blessing that God upset his plans, then en abled him to go forth in life to for mulate noble and godly plans which meant his success forever. God God knows how to lead us on life’s better way to our eternal goal. One of oar every two families have at least two work ers.

After inquiring about the nature of the trip, the inspectors—one a mem. j berof Parker's congregation- hand ed the summons to the pastor or dering him to appear at a bearing. The clergyman, whose family preceded him to Sunapee by car several days ago, told reporters that “whether I get to Sunapee or not is immaterial.” “There is bitter antagonism to ward the government over this (tbe OPA order),” Parker said. “I’m trying to do my little bit to main tain a democracy against what I re gard as growing totalitarianism. •Tm going through with it— just as a matter of principle—to do everything possible to clear up this situation which js nnderming civi.

He added that the OPA permitted motoring short distances to war gardens, and that be was not using any more gaso. line by going to Sunapee for the Snmmer to tend his garden. The clergyman, who had receiv ed permission for the trip from Washington, only to have the order subsequently rescinded “because of too hasty consideration,” said that, inasmuch as his family had already departed in another car before the revocation, he had no alternative but to follow them with the bag gage.” ___________ What To WriteAnd Not To Write The Office of War Information of fers these pointers for homefolks writing to soldiers, sailors, and ma rines—based on suggestions gathered in a sorvey amony servicemen at home and overseas.

Hayes, Mi S* TrMBflT SipartDiM Let Us Pray (By Kev. Loy 0 . Thompson) Man’s boldness is never more in evidence than when he deigns to speak to the Most High. Abra ham of old seems to feel that it is a mark of supreme audacity that be should undertake to converse with tbe .God of tbe universe. Hear him as he says: “Behold, I take it upon myself, I who am but dust and ashes, to speak unto the Most High” That is the boldest, the most venturesome, the most auda cious step that man has ever taken. Man who is but dust and ashes, speaking to God! What a specta cle, what an endeavor, what an ex alted ambition! Man conversing with God. Man holding commerce with the Eternal Man who is dust and ashes, rising to such subliminal heights. A renowned chemist on a certain occasion suggested this analysis of man. A man has enough soap in his physical make-up to produce seven bars of soap, iron enough to make a small nail, sugar enough to fill an ordinary sugar basin, lime enough to white wash the wall ot a little room phosphorous enough to furnish the tips for a thousand matches But that does not con stitute man. That represents only the house he lives In. David asks the question: ‘‘What is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou visitest him? Thou hast made him a little lower than God and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Man is a caild of God, an heir of eternity and a co-laborer witb Jesus Christ. Listen to the poet Shakespeare: “ What a piece of work is man! How noble in reasan, how Infinite in faculty, In form and moving, how express and admirable; in ac tion how like an angel, in appre hension how like a God I" This is taking man's real measure. Abra ham at the time he spoke was thin* king in terms of human frailty, fal Iibiiity, weakness. Tbis is all true but there is another side to man. Man is a creature of dust and dl* vinity. Not just dust but also di vinity. God came down to our hu man level and placed himself along our side in sympathy and love. He bad given us the mountains and tbe multitudinous seas and the sun and tbe moon and the stars and all things that dwell on tbe face of the earth and then as a last token of his infinite love he gave Himself. Why should we not pray to Him? How can we refuse to do so? How can we afford to neglect this great privilege? It is a joy to know that we who are dust and ashes can speak unto the Most High. There fore let us pray and keep preying.

Unplanned Economy ESvery once in a while one of those revealing sidelights on the New Deal slips through Elmer Davis’ OWI censorship. Tbe latest adds to tbe Harry Hop kins legends of a mispent life. It seems that when President Roosevelt sent his favorite economic playboy to Russia to . confer with Stalin last year, the tough old boy of tbe Kremlin decided he needed some aluminum-steel. This is finely tempered aluminum and steel wire used to reinforcement the wings and struts of airplanes, slow and difficult to manufacture. And Harry, of “spend and spend, tax and tax” fame, said, “Sure, Joe, we’ll send it right around.” But when Harry got home with his commission, technical experts broke (he news to him that he had promised Stalin fcur times as much aluminum-steel as the entire U. S. production in one year. Theamount promised would have IaBted Russia for 20 years. The report is that President Roose velt finally iiad to send word to Stalin that Hopkins had made a mistake witb bis giving ways.

With the ThafsRidiculoas world all topsy - turvy and with plenty of things to worry about elsewhere, his foreign office decided that this was no time to call in a man who had made good on a job for 17 years. Besides to a nation ruled over by an 85-year-old king, 65 isn’t a bit old, anyway. Calvin CooIidge was in the White House and Frank B. Kellogg was secretary of state when the blue-eyed, riiddy cheeked envoy with the build of an ath lete arrived from Stockholm in February of ’26. At Upsala uni versity in Sweden, where he was graduated in 1903, he had studied to be a lawyer, but he soon decided that the diplomatic service was his forte. He was sent first to the legation in Paris, but in 1907 King Gustav called him home to become bis private secretary. In 1913 he went to the legation in London and was there during most of the last war. Just before coming to America, he was minister to Madrid. At Upsala, he had been a top notch performer at both hockey and tennis. In 1908 he represented Sweden in the Olympic games. He first began playing tennis with King Gustav as far back as 1900 and not so many years ago he and his mon arch won the doubles title in an “old boys’ ” tournament. On his 60th birthday, his wife snapped a photo graph of him when he was swinging upside down on the flying rings in a gymnasium. 11 'HINGS are looking up for the Allies on the Pacific front.

He had been away from Australia for 11 months and was delighted in the changes for the better he noted in that time. Ibis tall, angular envoy from the underside of tbe world first took over his job here last year when Richard Casey moved on to the Middle East. He had had a distinguished career as a law yer and a judge and had directed some of his commonwealth’s top war boards — shipping control, wool, war risk insurance—be fore that. Born in a suburb of Melbourne 57 years ago, he made a brilliant rec ord at Melbourne university. He won his B.A. there in 1906 and his law degree two years later. His law practice mounted rapidly in size and importance, and he was rated as one of the outstanding attorneys in the dominion when he was elevated to a judgeship in the supreme court of Victoria in 1926. Three years lat er he became justice of the high court of the commonwealth. With high forehead, keen eyes and graying hair, he looks every inch a man to hand down learned decisions. He has been addressed as. Sit Owen for two years now. He is married and has four children, two boys and two girls. T 1ST Maj. Gen.

Place him also among those who point out that there is no one-way street for air raiders. It’s the latter thought, incidentally, which is his major con cern at present, for he is now in command of the First Air Force of the U. S. army, and it’s his job to protect the Atlantic coast from en emy planes.

He came home from France with a Croix de Guerre and some staff experience at the general’s headquarters. His fame as a flier did not wane with the Armistice, however. In 1930, while at Selfridge Field in his native Michigan, he won the Mackey medal for leading a midwinter test flight of planes out to the Pacific coast and back. His ships froze up en route, but he borrowed a railway locomotive, hooked up a steam hose, and got them going again. He has won the DSC and DFC in the present war. He gained the former by his spectacular raid on the Japs in the Philippines from a secret base in the islands in the spring of 1942.

A SERIES OF fS PECIAL ARTICLES BYTHE LEADING KAR CORRESPONDENTS' W om an P ilot By Cornelia Fort (WNU FtatUK-Tbnagb special arrangement witb Woman's Home Companion.) (Here is one of tbe most remarkable articles ever published—a personal story by tbe £tst woman pilot to die on war duty in American bistory. Shortly after it was written. Miss Fort, 24, of Nashville, Tenn., was killed when the bomber sbe was piloting crashed in Texas.) I knew I was going to join the Woman’s Auxiliary Ferrying squad ron before the organization was a reality, before it had a name, before it was anything but a radical idea in the minds of a few men who believed that women could fly air planes. But I never knew it so surely as I did in Honolulu on December 7, 1941.At dawn that morning I drove from Waikiki to the John Rodgers civilian airport right next to Pearl Harbor, where I was a civilian pilot instructor. Shortly after 6:30 I be gan landing and take-off practice with my regular student. Coming in just before the last land ing, I looked casually around and saw a military plane coming direct ly toward me. I jerked the controls away from my student and jammed the throttle wide open to pull above the oncoming plane. He passed so close under us that our celluloid win dows rattled violently and I looked down to see what kind of plane it was. The painted red balls on the tops of the wings shone brightly in the sun. I looked again with complete and utter disbelief. Honolulu was familiar with the emblem of the Rising Sun on passenger ships, but not on airplanes. I looked quickly at Pearl Har bor and my spine tingled when I saw billowing black smoke. Still I thought hollowly it might be some kind, of coincidence or maneuvers. It might be, it must be. For sure, dear God! Then I looked way up and saw-the formations of silver bombers Tiding in. Something detached itself from an airplane and came glistening down. My eyes followed if down, down, and even with the knowledge pounding in my mind, my heart turned convulsively when the bomb exploded in the middle of the harbor. I knew the air was not the place for my little baby airplane and I set about landing as quickly as ever I could. A few seconds later a shadow passed over me and simultaneous ly bullets spattered all around me. Suddenly that little wedge of sky above Hickam Field and Pearl Har bor was the busiest, fullest piece of sky I ever saw. We counted anxiously as our little civilian planes came flying home to roost. Two never came back. They were washed ashore weeks later on the windward side of the island, bul- let-riddled. Not a pretty way for the brave little yellow Cubs and their pilots to go down to death. When I returned, the only way I could fly at all was to instruct Civil ian Pilot training programs. Weeks passed. Then, out of the blue, came a telegram from the war depart ment announcing the organization of the WAFS, and the order to re port within 24 hours if interested. I left at once. Because there were and -are so many disbelievers in women pilots, especially in their place in the army, officials wanted 'the best possible qualifications to go with the first experimental group. AU of us realized what a spot we were on. We had to deliver the goods or else. Or else there wouldn’t ever be another chance for women pilots in any part of the service. The attitude that most nonfliers have about pilots is distressing and often acutely embarrassing. They chatter about the glamour of flying. Well, any pilot can tell you how glamorous it is. We get up in the cold dark in order to get to the air port by daylight. We wear heavy cumbersome flying clothes and a 30- pound parachute. You are either too cold or too hot. If you are a female your lipstick wears off, and your hair gets straighter and straighter. You look forward all afternoon to the bath you will have, and the steak. Well, we get the bath, but seldom the steak: sometimes we are too tired to eat and fall wearily into bed. None of us can put into words why we fly. It is something dif ferent for each of us. I can’t say exactly why I fly, but I “know” why as I’ve, never known- anything in my life. Of this I am most positive. I knew it when I saw my plane silhouetted against the clouds, framed by a circular rainbow. I knew it when I flew up into the ex tinct volcano Haleakala on the island of Maui, and saw the gray-green pineapple fields slope down to the cloud • dappled bluenes* of the Pacific.

Sunday nights at the New York CBS 6tudio. Universal plans to cash in on the public’s liking for being scared by giving us a series of “Inner Sanctum Mysteries”—they bought the screen rights to the title, but none of the radio stories will be used. They’ll make two a year, the first, “Calling Dr. Death,” starring Gale Sonder- gaard and Lon Chaney. RKO will do “Having Wonderful Crime” ; 20th Century-Fox has bought that super- super mystery, “Stranger on the Highway.” And Metro’s doing the shuddery “Gaslight,” which, as a play, still runs in New York. Columbia’s taking a chance by having Marguerite Chapman play a full-fledged Nazi throughout most of “Appointment in Berlin”—on the theory that too much sweetness and light hampers the build-up of a new feminine star. They hope the public will agree with that theory. Well, it certainly worked in Bette Davis’ case—just see what an un pleasant role did for her! Henry Koster and Joseph Paster nak are united again; they’re the pair who worked together on many of the pictures that carried Deanna Durbin from obscurity to stardom. ■ Xheir first joint effort at Metro will be “Music for Millions,” starring Lana Turner. California’s oldest mission bell, cast in bronze in Lima, Peru, in 1818 for La Purisima Mission at Lompoc, is the bell that tolls in “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” By the way, though you’ll probably hardly glance at the picture’s main title when it’s flashed on the screen, 35 men worked on it, after William Cameron Menzies had - designed it.— *— Nowadays there’s a sign saying “No Women Visitors” on the “Cry Havoc” set at Metro.

Lovely Tulip Apron in Applique Encouragement is something much needed, and not too often given. The word means to put some new thing into the heart of another, that is, to hearten and assure him, especially in the bearing of a heavy responsi bility. Moses, in all probability the world’s greatest military and nation al leader, was about to lead his peo ple out from under the mighty hand of Pharaoh. His final preparation for that epochal deed and all the years to follow was a personal meet ing with God. Possibly it was the mistake Moses had made and which caused him to be sent into the back of the desert, that now caused him to move with— I. Understandable Caution (Exod. 3:13). There is something remarkably fine about real humility. It com mends itself to our thinking as the proper attitude of a mortal being, particularly in the face of spiritual responsibility. Neither God nor man dares en trust a high and difficult commission to foolish man who brusquely “rushes in where angels fear to tread.” The fact that one feels fully and unhesitatingly qualified to take over such a responsibility is almost a certain indication that he is not the man to assume it. Moses’ request for God’s backing must have been acceptable to Him, for He gave Moses— n. Unlimited Authority (3:14-16). Moses went as God’s messenger. He was authorized to put all the majesty and power of the Infinite One behind his words and acts. The ambassador must have cre dentials. God’s representative has them. When “they shall say”—what an important and difficult situation that creates. The one who speaks for God must expect not only the scornful bitterness of God’s enemies, but also the unbelieving questions of those whom he seeks to serve. ‘What shall I say?” asks Moses, and God answers that he may say that “I AM” had sent him. This name of God reveals’Him as the eternal, independent, self-sufficient, self-existent, immutable, personal Being. Consider, Christian breth ren, whose we are and whom we serve. But Moses seems to have been unable to see beyond his own human infirmity even in the light of such a glorious revelation, supplemented as it was by miraculous powers, and we find him showing an— HI. UnjusHfied Humility (4:10-13). Perhaps we should not call this humility at all, for in one so divinely called and encouraged it was an act of unbelief and almost impertinence. When God calls a man He knows his limitations. Why then should one plead them as an excuse for not serving? The excuse of Moses that he was not a fluent speaker has been the standby of unwilling workers all through the ages. When asked to lead a prayer meeting, teach a Sun day school class, conduct a young people’s meeting, thousands upon thousands have lamely thus excused themselves and missed a blessing. The perfect answer of God (v. 11) merits attention. ' God made your mouth and mine. He gives us the power of speech. He asks not the eloquence of polished rhetorical phrases, or the flights of man’s imagination. He wants but the in comparable eloquence of His own words on our lips. No man should think too highly of himself, but let him beware lest he think too lowly about God. We are not sufficient for the opportunity. But God is more than sufficient. Having called Moses, God saw to it that Moses went on with His work, even though now He had to call in Moses’ older brother to help him. It was, in fact, an— IV. Unnecessary SnbsHtufion (4; 14-17). Loving and patient is our God, but, mark it well, there is a boundary line to that patience. Moses went too far in his heedless humility, and really reflected on the ability of God. God promptly substituted Aaron as the spokesman. Gracious was He in thus providing a helper for Meses. But one won ders what Moses missed of bless ing and power because of his. slow ness of heart. To decline the labor and the responsibility of service for God' means loss far greater than \ye may ever know. God’s dealings with Moses speak eloquently to us of His willingness to enable and use a man who ladced some of the gifts for leadership. Let none of us be like Moses and be come involved in needless worry about our gifts, and forget God’s purpose and enabling power. When God calls, our gifts are not the con trolling factor; in fact, they are not a great factor at all. The question' then becomes, Is God able? Let us trust and obey Him. Pattern No. 5400.

It is only natural that Firestone should be the leader in working out new processes, in creating new compounds and in building better tires from American-made rubber, for Firestone has always been die pioneer in developing new materials, new methods and new machines that have resulted in tremendous advance ments in tire design# construction and performance. From Firestone have come such revolutionary improvements as the FIRST straight side tire, the FIRST rubber non-skid tread, the FIRST commercial demountable rim, the FIRST patented Gum-Dipping Process, the FIRST balloon tire, the FIRST SaRi-Lock Cord Body, the FIRST Super-Speed Cmistructioh and the FIRST practical pneumatic tractor tire. In 1933, Firestone built the FIRST synthetic rubber airplane tires for our armed forces. In 1940, Euestone built its FIRST synthetic rubber passenger car tires at the New York World’s Fair and began the manufacture of its own synthetic rubber, called Butaprene, the same type that was later adopted by the GoveramenL In 1942, Firestone became the FIRST company to produce synthetic rubber in a Government-owned plant and later became the FIRST to make synthetic rubber using butadiene made from grain alcohoL And today Firestone is making synthetic rubber tires for passenger cars, trades, buses, airplanes, tractors, form implements and all types of war vehicles. AU of these years of experience, all of die knowledge that made these FlFSTS possible have been called upon in producing the new Krestone .DeLuxe' Champion Tire made with Firestone Butaprene. It is now ready for die car owners of America as released by the GovernmenL But do not think that the crisis is pasL America’s greatest rubbersupply is still on the wheels of its 27,000,000 cars. .So you must continue all of the rubber conservation m easuresthat have been so effectives However, if you are eligible and require new tires, remember this — in mileage,1 in strength and in safety the new Firestone DeLuxe Champion Tire upholds the* Firestoiiie tradition Of-nBmt In Rubber — Synthetic or Natural.” Liaten to the Votco of Vireetone with Steherd< Crooke end the FireeUme Sumjdumw:Orcfuetrot under direction of Alfred WaUenetetnt Monday eveninge, over N/'B.

Under the picture of tbe church is a portrait of Lily Kendall's niece, Gloria Lovelace. Potter is revealed as a famous movie director, Albert Parker, whose wife ran away Witb Roddy Lane. Now continue with Judy's story. CHAPTER XlX “Tell me,” Victor said. "You killed Lane the night he came to the Head, didn’t you? Higor mortis must have set in, judging from the way Judy described that hand. How did you happen to leave him there?” “I wanted the body. Had to have a body for Brown. Used all Mrs. Gerry had in her kerosene can and the gas from Lane’s car. That was stupid of me, but I wanted a big fire, and De Witt’s breaking the win dow of the garage made it easy. She burned like tinder, as you saw. Took of! the riflg and put it in Ju dy’s bag. “Hurry, man! It was you that Quincy and Judy saw running along the bluff last night?” “No, that must have been Nor cross,” he said. “He’d gone the back way, through the woods, up the strip of beach and climbed to the church.” “But you took me to town!” Wylie objected. "Be quiet!” commanded Victor. “Hurry, Potter. You drove to town three times, didn’t you? Afternoon to the movies for the stub 'alibi. Again with Wylie and De Witt after supper, when you knew your chance had come because Lane had come to the Head. But you only stayed until dark. Then you came back, after phoning the milkman to co operate for a reward. Told him it was a Fourth of July prank at the bridge.” “Right. He said the old bridge needed repairing and that was one way to get it done.” "So you IeIt the time bomb, know ing you’d pick up Wyiit Gerry, and ths only other car out was the minister’s?” “De Witt had said he’d be back early. Wasn’t much of a chance. Left my car in the woods, off the road near Gerry’s barn. Luckily, I met no one on the Neck, and no one at the Head saw me. Kept my lights out. Then I made for the church, after reconnoitering a bit, through the basement door via my pass key. Miss Kendall was asleep on the church steps, worse luck, but I had to take a chance to get Lane out of the chest and into the shed.” “He was in the chest, then? Since the night before? While the auction was going on? Why?” “Listen, will you? Can’t you see the way this tub’s filling? The night Lane came I was hidden in the church basement. I was disguised as Old Man Brown. I watched Lane digging where his treasure had been taken out by me. Then I came out of the shadows and told him who I was. ‘Get up and fight like a man!’ I cried. He was an awful coward. He fell at the first blow of my fists, then he pulled a gun. But I got it away from him and struck him with it. He went down and didn’t get up again. I had a skeleton key that would unlock anything. I want ed to go get my little cart from the shack and drag Lane’s body there, but I heard someone coming. That Kendall woman was always hang ing around the church steps. So I opened the chest and dumped him in. He was quite dead. As evi dence against Lane, the gun miglTt come in handy, so I kept it. Later it seemed best to hurl it into the sea. I was afraid to fire' it for fear of being heard by the person out side, and I wasn’t sure it had been fired—to make it look like a murder weapon. Besides, I had to be sure the body wouldn’t be recogniz able before leaving the gun. Then poor Miss Kendall—” he broke off. But Lily Kendall had seen it on the rocks near the Pirate’s Mouth, just as Victor had; only Victor’d kept still about it, while Lily showed her suspicion. “And she thought it was yours, Quade,” Potter was saying. “She told me to get that revolver.^ She believed you’d killed Lane with it. She never had any fear of me, when I asked her to show me where. But when she leaned over, I struck her with a rock I .had ready. She screamed once and my heart stood still. She didn’t scream again. I had Norcross’ blue scarf in my pocket, and you know what I- did with it. Then I scrammed around the cliff, to the beach, to the woods, to my car in Gerry’s bam. Heaven alone knows why none of you caught me, though the beach isn’t visible from the inn. Same as the night before, after dragging Lane from the chest to the shed in the cart I d bought for the purpose, which burned up in the shed. Then I put out the shed light and went through the woods to my car, drove to town and picked up Gerry. Saw De Witt’s car and got him to help me.persuade Gerry, who was tight, to come home. Strengthened my alibi. But Judy nearly caught me in the church basement. If she’d come out W-N-O- RELEASE the rear door she’d have stumbled over my little wagon.” That squeaky door! I shuddered as Potter half-grinned at me. If I’d taken the cliff path! “While you were pushing Quincy s chair out the front way, I was loading my burden onto the wagon. I knew it was now or never. I’d meant to go back the night before and finish the hiding of that body in the shed, but—well, maybe I got cold feet. The little cart was right behind you on the path—at a safe distance, of course. It was well greased; didn’t rattle. I hid behind some bushes while you investigated the shack where the light was still on. The minute you passed, did I hustle! You’ll find the thick glasses if you hunt in the brush.” “You’d cut the phone wires earlier?” “Before going to town the first time—after supper, that is. And the boats were hacked the night Lane died, when I got the gas for his pyre. Norcross, your club I’d ' picked up where De Witt had left it. Used it as a blind to confuse the issue. Also your sister’s coat. It was lying in “Get up and fight like a man!” I cried. the hammock all last night. I vTtire it part of the time, in case I should be seen running through the darkness. Sorry about the spot. I really tried to cleanse it.” He gave the oars a shove into the sea. The police boat was within hail, and shouting at us. We didn’t shout back. The drama unfolding before our eyes left us paralyzed. The water had crept up until it seemed as if Albion Potter must drown where he sat. “Jump, for it, man!” begged De Witt. But Victor said not a word. The police boat was almost upon the Eleanor. Would it reach there in time? Just as I was wondering, she slipped into the sea.The police launch came chugging up after it was all over. From then on confusion reigned at Pirate’s Head, f think I answered a million questions, not that it did any good. But the town had to bury Roddy Lane! Bessie Norcross, despite all that had happened, grew sentimental. She wanted to take charge of his funeral. Hugh wouldn’t let her. “Judy,” he said to me, the night before they left, “she’s headed for another breakdown right this min ute. I’m taking her off on a cruise so she can’t make a fool of herself here. When we get back—and this has all died down—there’s some thing I want to ask you. Will you write me, dear?” Poor Hugh! With that sister of his he’d never have a chance to ask a girl anything. It was the second time he’d called me dear. “I’ll an swer all your letters,” I said. Hugh’s dark eyes held mine so berly. Then he leaned over and kissed my hand. We could both hear his sister calling: “Oh, Hughie! Come close my trunk straps.” Victor Quade was standing in the doorway. Had he seen Hugh kiss ing my hand? Evidently he had, for as Norcross hurried away to his Lady Simon Legree, Victor said, “Parting is such sweet sorrow! Going to miss him? And me?” It had come then. Victor was stepping out of my life. I couldn’t conceal that I cared, and didn’t try. “Of course I shall miss you—both. When people have been through all we have together—” "Exactly. Judy, what’ll you do with the old church?” I shrugged. “Sell it if I can.” “Will you? That’s what I hoped. I’ll buy it. Grand place to write mystery stories. So full of—of at mosphere. Do you know short hand?” My heart gave a great bound. “No, but I could learn.” “Bless you! You’ll have to. But we’ll try to get through this one straight to the machine. Type, can’t you?” “After a fashion. Why?” “Because, now that the police have wound up this case, I want to get busy right away. You remem ber my title—‘Murder on the Bluff’? Not bad, do you think?” “Not good, either. Not distinctive enough. ‘Murder at Pirate’s Head’ doesn’t sound so—so much as if it had been used before.” Victor’s hands , gave a loud clap. “I knew it! You’ll be invaluable to me. You will help me, won’t you? Mrs. Gerry’ll have to get a new hostess. We’ll turn the church into a studio. Trailer always annoyed me; too much in it. A man likes to pace while he writes.” “I’d love to help you, Mr. Quade.” “Why Mister me now, after all we’ve been through, Judy? Vide, my friends call me—Vidor Quinn.” “You’ll always be Victor to me,” I said, and saw how pleased he looked. “This case will write itself,” he said, "all but one thing. What did Potter do with the gun—throw it into the sea the second time? Hardly think so. He' seemed pretty nerv ous about those fingerprints I guessed at.” “Wait,” I said, recalling the green bead near the hollow stump. The bead had been in the mixed string which had caught on Potter’s but ton when we were going over the auction, and I remembered that he’d only run for the Eleanor after he’d started tearing down toward the wil low. As the idea clicked I got Vic tor to hunt down the path. We searched thoroughly and found Lane’s revolver hidden in the hol low stump. The little green bead must have clung to his coat by the broken strand and dropped when he bent to toss the gun from his pocket. "That,” Victor said, “fixes every thing. Potter was afraid to hurl this into the sea lest he miss again or have someone see him.” “Everything except the fingerprint he left in my powder compact. I didn’t see any.” “Naturally,” and how his teeth gleamed as Victor grinned at me/ “Bless you! There wasn’t any.” [THE END] Tall, cool glasses of Ginger Cooler will help get your daily quota of milk Into your summer diets besides (oiling Ol’ Sol on his busiest days.

"Com, a favorite food of man, beast, and bacteria, is the victim of defense propaganda and I am not talking about war.” Gladys- Kimbrough, Home Service Director of 'Ball Brothers Company, made the above statement and went on to tot- plain, “Persons who refuse to take the time and trouble to understand com, defend their canning failures by claiming that it refuses to keep. The truth is, com is more than willing to be canned, but is doomed to spoilage unless right tactics are used, because it has no acid to protect it against the invasion of bacteria. Tactics? Why,” says Miss Kimbrough, “they can be summed up in one sentence: i. e., Ieam what is to be done, begin at the right time, keep things moving, and turn on the heat.” Photo Courtesy Ball Bros. Co. The first thing to be done is to get Jars, lids, rubbers, and canner ready. If you have no pressure cooker, get along with a water-bath canner. Examme every jar and lid to see that it is in good condition—remember glass top seals and two- piece metal vacuum seal caps won’t work unless the top edges of the jars are perfect. Wash everything clean; cover jars, glass lids and zinc caps with luke-warm water and put on the stove to heat. Cover vacuum seal lids and rubbers with boiling water and leave until needed. When everything is ready, gather the com—bring in no more ian needed for one canner full. Keep in mind that canning too much too late is a common cause of spoilage. Place the com on a board and use a strong sharp knife to cut tbe husks (shucks to you in the Mid dle West and South) off at each end just where the com begins and ends. There shouldn’t be any worms if you have followed Victory garden directions, but if there are worms in the tassel end, cut deep enough to leave them with the husks. The husks will come off easily and bring most of the silks with them.Examine every ear of com and use only those having plump, glossy, juice-filled kernels. Remove all silks; rinse the corn and cut it from the cob. One or more cuttings may be made, but scrapings should not be used unless processing can be done in a pressure cooker, because the scrapings make a thick mass that heats through slowly. Cover the com with boiling water, using about half as much water as corn; cook five minutes; then pour immediately into clean, hot jars. A generous amount of water helps the com heat through quickly and aids in preventing its sugar'from carmel- izing and causing a brownish color. Add one teaspoon salt to the quart and seal jars according to manufacturer’s directions. Then put into the canner and process.If possible, use pint jars, as they heat through more rapidly — the quicker the jars can be heated tiirough; the more certain the destruction of bacteria. Process pints and quarts 70 minutes at 10 pounds pressure or by boiling 3% hours in hot-water bath. Remove the jars from the canner as promptly as possible after processing; finish sealing all jars that require rubber rings; set jars, as far apart as possible on folded newspaper or cloth so they can cool quickly, but be sure they are not where a breeze will strike them.The jars should be examined after twelve hours in order to make sure they are sealed. To do this, remove bands from glass top seals and metal vacuum seal caps (leave the bands off when the jars are put away). Test the glass top seals by nulling gently on the lids with the finger tips. Vacuum seals are tested by pressing down on them with the fingers—if sealed, they won't move won't be any leaks if instructions are followed and there won’t be any spoilage if you keep iii mind that . Vigilance means Victory. Furthermore, you will never know how good canned com can be until you have tasted your own home-canned brand.

That is when the semaphore system is employed.

Looks to Tomorrow 'TOMORROW’S farmers and farm homemakers are second to no school group in their enthusiasm tor investing in War Bonds and Stamps to make sure their future is secure. Through the Schools At War program they are investing what they save and earn in War Stamps and Bonds. BMrst evidence of this is the amount the 4-H Club boys and girls and the FFA boys invested in war savings in 1942 from “Victory Pig” and other projects. A million and a half 4-H Club members put $6,000,- 000 of their own savings in War Bonds and Stamps and sold $2,500,- 000 worth of War Savings to their neighbors. Nearly a quarter mil lion members of Future Farmers of America invested more than $1,- 500,000. Spurred by the realization that the financial welfare of farm families the next 20 years depends on how wisely they use today’s higher incomes from increased food and other wartime production, both groups have set their goals still higher for 1943. These farm youths are building financial reserves, and urging their parents to do the same, for after- the-war necessities, to meet financial emergencies and to help them get started in college. They’re building reserves today for tomorrow’s farm buildings and for the other things they will need when they’re tomorrow’s farmers and homemakers.

It is an old saying, “Let good enough alone.” This is good ad. rice. No doubt many people have failed in life, or failed in some way because they were not satisfied with good enough, but wanted some thing better, or something differ ent, therefore changed occupations or locations, or had changes made which were for the worst. It seems to be human nature to be diss&tls fied even with good things. This is especially true of human nature apart from God, or of human na ture unconsecrated, unyielded unto God. I have seen churches with good pastors who were doing good work and having the blessings of God upon them, but there were mem bers who were dissatisfied. They wanted a change, usuajly because the pastor didn’t measure up to the(r petty notions, or didn’t just pat them on the back and make pets of them, or visit them contin ually, therefore they vated him out or managed to get him out, and as a consequence the church suffered. When a church wants a change of pastors euery year, it is a known tact that there is something wrong. Usually it is with the church, or some member, and not the pastor. There are church bosses who are never satisfied. Tbey won’t give a pastor time to do his best work, or if he is doing a good work, they want somebody else. No doubt many a young girl has had a very fine young man for a sweetheart, but she was not satis fied. He was not as light and chaf fy as she wanted him to be. He was not as full of fun and foolish ness as she desired, therefore she turned him down and started in with the fellow that was much in ferior. Perhaps the fellow that smoked his cigarettes, drank his beer and liquor, indulged in the dance, and carried her about in a f<ne car to places of amttsement, •nd into company that was world* ly. adultrous and demoralizing. Later she married him, only to find that her life was wrecked. No doubt the same can be said of many a young man He was {not satis fied to court and marry the noble, godly, virtuous young girl, but turned from her to some giddy, godless flirt and flapper and mar ried her to his own sorrow, down fall, heartache, disappointment, rs- gret and damnation. It is well to let good enough alone, lest one ex. change for that which proves his defeat in life. "Let good enough alone.’* This is life’s better way. Not Tlie Milk Then there was the patient parents who didn’t objeet to the voung man sitting up so late with his daughter. It was hia taking the morning paper when he left.

Woodring asserted and he called on voters of both parties to unite in a great crusade to restore America to its own people” under constitu tional government. '*It is not too soon for each of us to ghd himself for battle on the home front,” he declared. “The hour is later than yon think.” ‘‘The former Kansas governor, who advocated formation of a new commonwealth party several months ago, charged that “the past ten years has seen a period of plan, ned economy, a planned social order leading to state capitalism; to a con trolled ’state capitalistic system,’ ” instead of a free enterprise system. “We must not permit another mandate for absolute and complete domination and control by any pre. sident over the executive,, legisla tive and judicial branches of gov ernment; nor as a mandate to con tinue a planned program of mak ing America over.” Woodiing saild he believed in the two-party system but thought the alignment should be between “con. stitutional liberal conservatives” in one party and “ those radicals who wish to make America over” on the other side. Explain Campaign Fund Donation Washington. — Senator Robert son (R., Wvo.) demanded today that President Roosevelt and John L. Lewis deny or clarify what he said was “the growing conviction throughout the country that the moneys contributed or given by John L. Lewis to the president to help his re-election is really at the bottom of the whole business,” re ferring to Mr. Roosevelt's veto of the Smith-Connally labor bill. “It is time,” Rubertson said in a statement, “that clear statements be issued by both the president and John L Lewis as to the nature of that deal. Is it true, or is it not true that John L. Lewis gave a large sum, up to $500,000, to Pre sident Roosevelt or, through him, to the Democratic national commit tee, to be used in any way in the election of President Roosevelt? “Is it true that the president, if and when he received such sumst gave definite assurance to Lewis tbat, if re-elected, he would see tbat John L. and his boys were proper Iy taken care of? If this so called gift was a loan, as the Democratic party now attempts to suggests, wbat was the term of the note, if any, and what was the interest rate and has It been paid back in money, or otherwise?” The president’s veto of the labor bill, said the senate, “was the na tural follow-up to the subterfuge of hfs previous announcement of a request to congress to raise <be draft age to 65 with the assump tion that when a man won’t work for bis country, he will be sent to the army. “In other words, the slackers will po into the army.

Brown, has been placed in charge 01 the thing.Prices are still soaring beyond the reach of the average housewife.So much confusion has been caused by OPA’s rules and regulations) that shortages of food and other necessi ties are facing Americans on - every hand.Kow a new shakeup of OPA is be ing ta’ked to find someone else to take tbe place of the Lame Duck Senator who took the place of the Incpmpetent HendersonBut don’t blame Leon Henderson; or Lame Duck Senator Brown.When a ship goes on the rocks it is the captain who accepts full blame and not the coal stokers who keep the engines fired.Mr. Roosevelt likes to boast *‘we planned it that way” when something goes well. And his is the re- sponsibility, obviously, for tbe fail ure today of the Washington bureau cracy to back up the boys in uni form.—Union Republican. Needed Equipment De- An investigation of reports that a bandoned equipment at five CCC camps in Missouri, were destroyed, was asked by Rep. Bsarion Bennett, of Missouri, recently. Bennett told the House of Repre- sentatives that bis information indicated “alleged there was no legal way these wheelbarrows, saws, picks, shovels, plows, seed sowers, wheels, and axes could be given away or sold to the farmers needing them except by untangling red tape over a per* iod of the next two years.” Page Mr. Henderson A man and his wife in the Sand, hills, a doctor, announces they have a “patriotic” dog. They have sold its' pups to amount of $500 since 1940 ?nd invested it in Vic. tory Bonds. To turn loose 24 dogs on vietory food, in order to buy bonds, is like the bull frog trying to leap out of the well and falling back.—Ex. BV S. Tmmar Vwutwil Let Us Pray (By Kev. Loy 0. ThoiDDMn) A pastor said to one of bis young parisboners: “I want you to pray, but beware how you pray, for I warn you that it is a very costly experiment. ” Therewasatimein the life of William Cary tbe great missionary, that he began to pray very earnestly tor the conversion of the world. It cost him his own life in service as a missionary. His- tor tells us that Brainard prayed incessantly for the black, fierc 4| ig norant savages, and after two years of work among them, it cost him his life. We are told that Dwight L. Moody bad two students in his summer school who spent most of their time in praying that lhe Lord would send forth laborers into the haivest fields of the world, and, be hold! five thousand young men and women answered the prayers and offered themselves as servants in the Master’s moral vineyard. We should not neglect to pray for tbe salvation of the lost world, but we should remember tbat it is expensive oftimes. The chances are that you will discover tbat you cannot easily pray and refuse your help; you cannot pray and refuse, your children; you cannot pray and refuse yourself; you cannot pray and refuse to give of your money; you cannot pray and refuse to offer much time in service, and then be unconcerned about the work. We should not only pray for the con* version of the world, but we should live the life of prayer. During World War I General Haig sent this message to the English Parlia ment: “ We are fighting with our backs to the wall.” One man a- rose in tbe Cabinet and said: “Jt is heaven help us now.” Lloyd George said: “It is just where we are now. Let us ask heaven.” Tbe cabinet meeting was transfor med into a prayer meeting. This war calls upon us for prayer, much prayer, much private and public prayer, much believing prayer. FDR In 1932 and Today In 1932 Mr. Roosevelt campaigned with energy on the theme that the country was going into bankruptcy because of the deficits of those years. Those deficits of 1931 and !1932, of which he talked so eloquently, were $901,950,080 and $2,942,051,451, respectively. Today., every 12 days on the average, our deficit is greater than was the shortage then in a full year. Think of it! An increase in our shortage of about 3,000 percent from a condition which Mr Roose velt represented as the road to bank* ruptcy. I say this with no partisan- sansbip, because the cost of living and tbe arithmetic table are non* partisan. Inflation, like rain, falls on tbe just and tbe unjust alike. But when we are making a mistake that Mr. Roosevelt has said will lead to disaster, and thed he enlarges that mistake 30 times, either we are going to wake up promptly or cala mity will befall us.— Biepresentative Howard Buffett (Republican) of Nebraska.

Phillips, of Oklahoma, who served 10 years as an electrictive officer on the Demo* cratic ticket in tbat State, announces he is changing his affiliation to tbe Republican party because of his op* position to Uie New Deal. 'I will register as a Republican at the • first legal opportunity,” said Phillips in a letter to a friend, which made public, “because it is the only party now organized that can effec tively go into every part of the United States and fight the New Deal.” The outspoken red-head, who quar reled frequently with federal autho rities during bis four years as Okla* homa’s chief executive 1939-1943 as sorted th e New Deal “has well nigh completed the destruction of our free elections” and added that be would actively oppose a fourth term for President Roosevelt.' It will be easier to fight the fourth term than the fifth or sixth,’’ said Phillips, who was a delegate to the 1940 Democratic national conven tion. He termed tbat gathering a farce. Phillips, who supported tbe suc cessful candidacy of U. S. Senator Ed H. Moore, long time Oklahoma Democrat who was elected as a Re* publican stated be was not a candi date for any office. On the Record On April 11,1941, President Roose velt created the office of Price Ad* ministration (OPA to you) and ap pointed Leon Henderson as its chief, Itsprincipal goal was to prevent inflation—skyrocketing prices that destroy the average family. Today, just over two years later. Leon Henderson finally has been forced out of the job for which he had no capacity. Prices are soaring beyond tbe reach of the average housewife. So much confusion has been cans* ed by OPA’s rules and regulations (and changes of rules and regula tions) that shortages of food and other necessities face Americans. Now a new shake-up of OPA is be ing talked to find someone else to take the place of the Lame Duck Senator who took the place of Hend erson. But don’t blame Henderson. Or Senator Brown. When a ship goes on the rocks it is the captain who accepts the blame and not the rocks it is the captain who accepts the blame and not the coal stokers. Mr. Roosevelt likes to boast “we planned it that way” when some- thing goes well. And hia is the re sponsibility, obviously, for the fail ure today of the Washington burea- cracy to back op the boys in uniform. One of our every two fami lies have at least two workers.

A better m sOoT I P E R I Ihai never fails, p use, and not I at drug and UOrtds iiai.,..in I See Here, Private Hargrove! by M a r io n H a r a r o v e IF FIRST SERGEANT CLAR ENCE A. GOLDSMITH, back in the old battery where I was supposed to have learned the art of cooking for fhe army, ever gets his hands on this, it will provide him with amuse• ment throughout a long, hard win- ter. When he reads that Private Ed- ward Thomas Marion Laivton Har grove, ASN 34116620, is giving ad vice to prospective soldiers, his de risive bellow ivill disturb the train ing program in the next regiment. “My Godr he tvill roar. “Look who's learning who how to do what! My God! The blind leading the blind!” It was once said, Sergeant Gold smith, by the eminent vegetarian George Bernard Shaw that he who can, does; he who can't, teaches. This, dear sergeant, is my contri bution to the army and to posterity. Please go atcay and leave us young people to our studies. CHAFTEB I If I were giving advice to the’boys who have already been called into the Army and will go away in a few days, I’d sum it all up in this: “Paint the town red for the rest of your civilian week. Pay no atten tion to the advice that is being poured into your defenseless ears for twenty-four hours a day. Form an idea of what Army life is going to be like. Leave your mind open.” Two weeks from now, you will be thoroughly disgusted with your new job. You wifi have been herded from place to place, you will have wandered in nakedness and bewil derment through miles of physical examination, you will look upon privacy and individuality as things you left behind you in a golden civilian society. Probably you will have developed a murderous hatred for at least one sergeant and two corporals. You will writhe and fume under what you consider brutality and sadism, and you will wonder how an enlightened nation can permit such atrocity in its army. Take it easy, brbther; take it easy. Keep this one beam of radiant hope constantly before you: The first three weeks are the hardest. For those first three—or possibly four—weeks, you will bear the great est part of the painful process of adjusting yourself to an altogether new routine. In those first three weeks you will get almost the full required dose of confusion and mis ery. You will be afraid to leave your barracks lest the full wrath of the war department fall upon you. U “You don’t get anywhere by buy ing soda pop or beer for your ser geant.” You will find yourself unbelievably awkward and clumsy when you try to learn the drills and the knowledge of this awkwardness will make you even more awkward. Unless you relax you can be very unhappy dur ing those first three weeks. When you are assigned to your basic training center you’ll really get into it. You'll drill and drill, a little more each day, and when the sergeant tries to correct or advise you, you’ll want to tear his throat out with your bare hands. You’ll be sick of the sound of his voice before an hour has passed. The only comfort I can give you is the knowledge that the poor sergeant is having a helluva time too. He knows what you’re thinking and he can’t do anything about it. You’ll be inoculated against small pox, typhoid, tetanus, yellow fever, pneumonia, and practically all the other ills that flesh is heir to. You’ll be taught foot drill, the handling of a rifle, the use of the gas mask, the peculiarities of military vehicles, and the intricacies of military cour tesy. Most of what you are taught will impress you as utterly useless non sense, but you’ll learn it. You’ll be initiated into the mys-, teries of the kitchen police, proba bly before you’ve been in the Army for a week. Possibly two days later, you’ll' be sent on a ration detail to handle huge bundles of groceries. You’ll haul coal and trash and ashes. You’ll unpack rifles that are buried in heavy grease and you’ll clean that grease off them. You’ll stoke fires, you’ll mop floors, and you’ll put a high polish on the win dows. You’ll wonder if you’ve' been yanked out of civil life for This. All your persecution is deliberate, calculated, systematic. It is colle giate practice of hazing, applied to the grim and highly important task of transforming a civilian into a soldier, a boy into a man. It is the Hardening Process. You won’t get depressed; you won’t feel sorry for yourself. You’ll just get mad as hell. You’ll be breathing fire before it’s over. Believe me or not, at the end of that minor ordeal, you’ll be feeling good. You’ll be full of spirit and energy and you will have found yourself. You’ll look at the new men com ing in to go through the same hard ening period, and you’ll look' at them with a fatherly and sympathetic eye. They will be “rookies” to you, a veteran of almost a month.For practical advice, there is none better than the golden rule of the Army: “Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.” At first, probably, you’ll be in clined to tremble at the. sight of •every corporal who passes you on the street. You might even salute the first-class privates. Then, when the top sergeant neglects to beat you with a knout they rub GI (These two letters are the cornerstone of your future Army vocabulary. They stand for the words “Government Issue” and just about everything you get in the Army will.be GI. Even the official advice. This story, on the other hand, is not GI.) salt into wounds, you might want to go to the other extreme. This way madness lies. When corporals and sergeants are to be dealt with, always remember this: Make friendships first and leave the joking until later. When it’s the top sergeant, it might be best to leave the joking perma nently. It can be- very easy to start your military life on the wrong foot by giving your officers and noncommis sioned officers the impression that you’re a wise guy, a smart aleck. Soldiers, like senators, “don’t like for a new guy to shoot his mouth off.” So much for the don’ts. On the “do” side, the most important thing for you to watch is your attitude. As a matter of straight and practical fact, the best thing that you can do is to reason that you are going into a new job. The job is temporary, but while you have it it’s highly important. As, when you go into a new job in civil life, you do your darnedest to impress your employer with your earnestness, your diligence, your interest in your work—go thou and do likewise in the Army. As in your civilian job, the impression is made in the first few weeks. You make that impression, starting from Oie very first day, by learning as quick ly as you can, by applying yourself with energy to each task, no mat ter how small or how unpleasant it is. You don’t get anywhere by buy ing soda pop or beer for your ser geant. —Ra— Brodie Griffith, managing editor of the Charlotte News, adjusted his ancient green eyeshade and began glancing through a sheaf of copy. “Hargrove,” he said, lighting a cigarette, “it beats the hell out of me what fate did mean for you. Dr. Garinger down at the high school said years ago that it didn’t'write a formal education in on your budget. Belmont Abbey found out that you weren’t destined to be worth a hoot as a public relations man for a Ben edictine college. The drugstore chain in Washhigton said you had neither the talent nor the tempera ment for soda-jerking. And you cer tainly fizzled as a theater usher. Maybe fate don’t know you.” “May I have a cigarette?” I asked, reaching before he could pro tect them. “Day after day I work my fingers to the shoulder blades for neither thanks nor living wage. I am the feature editor of a progres sive, growing newspaper. What makes it that? My heart’s blood makes it that!” “I would fire you tomorrow,” he sighed, “if anyone else could possibly straighten out the chaos you have brought to this office. In the most underpaid brotherhood in the world, you are the most overpaid, two-headed brother.” “I am the most underpaid six armed Siva,” I snorted. “Look at me! I am the feature editor, the obituary editor, the woman’s page editor, the hospital editor, the re-' write man, the assistant to the city editor, the commissar for paste and copy paper and cokes, the custodian of oral memoranda, the public’s whipping boy, the translator and copyist of open-forum letters, the castigator of the composing room staff, the guest artist for ailing col umnists,' the tourist guide for visit ing school children, the press repre sentative at barbecue suppers of the United Brotherhood of Plumbers and Steamfitters, the butt of the of fice jokes.”“Period,” said Mr. Griffith, “New paragraph.” “I lead a terrible, turbulent life,” -I wailed. “I am the man forgotten by Destiny.” “If you will get your elbows off my desk,” he said, “the boy can put the mail on it. “What you need,” he continued, sorting through a batch of letters, “is a tour of military service. The Army would make a man of you. I was in the Army in the last war. A top sergeant at eighteen. The Army did wonders for me.” “That’s not much of a sales argu ment,” I told him. “Then again,” he said, “if we must take up my whole busy day weeping over your sorrows, let’s not burden the Army when it has a helluva job already. Concerning the whole matter, I would suggest that you apply yourself to making up the woman’s page right now, lest you come down tomorrow morning and find someone else sitting in your chair. Leave my sight.” "There’s not a letter there from New York,” I asked, “with my 4tWell, my lad,” he said with faint glee, “we know what Fate means for you. You can be happy now.” name written on it in a delightfully illegible, feminine, and slightly red headed hand?” ' “Is there ever?” he snorted. “Let’s see—” and he went through the stack. “Well, my lad,” he said with faint glee, “at last we’re getting some where. We know what Fate means for you. You can be happy now.” He handed me a long, white, innocent-looking envelope, addressed to me. The return address read, “Se lective Service System—Mecklenburg County Board Number Three.” The President of the United States to Marion Hargrove, greeting! —Ra— The boy across the table in the Piedmont Grill lifted both hands and clapped his brow three times. He looked at the clock, then back at his breakfast, then back at the clock. ■ “My name is Hargrove,” I said, handing him a cigarette. “Mine is Piel,” he said. “Melvin Piel. Tomorrow maybe you can make it ‘Private’ on the front.” “So long as you’re healthy,” I said, shrugging a shoulder. “It cuts down on the income tax.” “My hay fever,” he wailed. “What will I do with my hay fever? In the jungles of South Carolina for ma neuvers, with my hay feverbOy!” “Just look at it,” he said on the way to the bus station, “maybe a posthumous medal my grandchil dren will get. Private Melvin Piel, who gave his life valiantly and through the nose from hay fever yet. Sneezing to glory.” The bus station on that morning in July was a pathetic picture. Four large groups of boys, reconciled to the grim and gruesome life ahead of them, were bade farewell by wailing mothers and nobly suffering girl friends who had come down to see their loved ones off in a blaze of pathos. It was pretty terrible. The buses swung out of the termi nal, through midtown, and out to ward the road to Fayetteville. The boys began to feel better, shouted farewells to startled girls on the street and finally broke into raucous song. Four Rowers of the nation started a blackjack game on a suit case in the back of the. bus. Brother Piel’s spirits brightened a little. His smooth voice found .its way through the hay fever and emerged in song. "It’s a lovely day tomorrow,” he sang. “Tomorrow is a lovely day. “Look at me tomorrow,” he said, breaking off suddenly, “Hay foot, Private Piel. Straw foot, Private Piel. Hay and straw and look at what I’ve got. Hay fever yet! Oy, what a life I’ll lead!” “Maybe what I’d better do when I get there, I’d better tell them I’d like to go north. They could use a good man in Alaska.” “The South Pole is your meat,” I told him. “That’s it! The South Pole! Boy, I’m going to love the Army!” The tumult and the shouting died about halfway to Fayetteville. The boys became quiet and thoughtful.'TO BE CONTINUED) F I R ! ■a i d *fo ihe- A I L I N by Rog G H O U S E'ZlZ-Ti ...... « B-Whitmunjjgiipewl Roger B. Whitman—WNU Feature#. Too may not lie able to repHee worn or broken household equipment. This is war. Government priorities come flist. So take care of what you have . . . as well as you possibly can. This column by the homeown' er's friend tells you how. FLYING INSECTS Question: In our bungalow we are bothered with flying insects that come down the chimney when the fire is out. To stop this we plan to put a piece of window screening over the top of the chimney. Would this interfere with the draft of a wood fire? Answer: Window screening laid flat on the chimney would be quickly clogged with ashes. Instead of laying the screening flat, use it to make a box the size of the flue, to rise at least 12 inches above the chim ney top. The opposite side should be left open, with long pieces that will extend down into the flue and hold the box in place. Wind blow ing across the box will prevent ashes from clinging. Waxing Linoleum Question: What could I use on my linoleum to make it glossy? There is no sign of wear as yet, but it be comes very dull after cleaning. I’m tired of using wax which isn’t last ing.Answer: It should not be necessary to use wax as often as you apparently are doing. You can get special waxes, and tools with which to apply them for your own variety of linoleum. By following the di rections, you can reduce greatly the labor of cleaning and waxing. A light rubbing up every day or two should be enough. Spots can be tak en off with a damp cloth. Linoleum manufacturers do not advise varnish ing or lacquering. Hot-Water Heating System Question: You have recommend ed leaving the water in a hot-water heating system the year ’round, only adding water when necessary; Doesn’t the water become “dead” and circulate slower and give off less heat?Answer: What you call “dead” water is preferred in a heating sys tem, because such water causes less corrosion in the boiler, pipes and radiators than does fresh water. Fresh water contains air, which is corrosive to iron and steel, but when fresh water is reheated several times the air is driven off. The heating efficiency of the system is not affected by such water. Moisture Spots Question: Since the heavy sum mer rains, small cracks in our ce ment basement floor show spots of moisture. These cracks are near the corners of the walls and floor. The brick of the walls is crumbling How should I make repairs? Answer: You can check the crum bling of the brick by coating it with a cement base paint, the Idnd that comes in powder form, to be mixed with water. For the. small floor cracks, begin by wire-brushing the area, wet it with clear water and then give it a coat of Portland cement mixed with water to the con sistency of thick paint. Garage Floor Question: The garage attached to my house has a floor of crushed rock screenings. This is being tracked into the house continuously. What can be done to this floor? Answer: If the screenings are very fine, pulverized calcium chlor ide sprinkled over the floor will set tle the dust; but if the'aggregate is larger, an asphalt binder can be used. .Your local road commissioner is familiar with both materials and can advise you where they can be obtained. The asphalt binder may be difficult to procure at pres ent. YeHowed Refrigerator Question: My electric refrigerator has a yellow cast to it, was per fectly white when I bought the unit. How can I bring it back to the original whiteness? Answer: It may not be possible to restore the box to its original whiteness, but you might try the following: Wash the enamel with mild soap and warm water, then rinse with a solution of JavelIe wa ter, about three tablespoonfuls in a quart of water, and wipe dry. If the above does not help, have your local refrigerator service'man spraya new lacquer finish on the box. - Doing Over Armchair Question:1 The wood of an arm chair is scratched badly. We want to stain and varnish the chair, but should prefer a dull varnish' to thr shiny kind. Can we get this? Answer: Certainly; you can get a semi-gloss or dull varnish that should be just what you want. The present finish first should be rubbed dqwn with very fine sandpaper, then wiped with turpentine; and, for a really good job, the first coat of varnish also should be rubbed down.

IN ADVANCE - *10«SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE - S SO The Record’s Birthday The Davie Record has just com pleted its 44th year of service to the people 0! Mocksville, Davie and ad joining counties. With this issue we begin our 45th year. Many changes have taken place in Davie since The Record was established in 1899 At that time there wasn’t a mile of improved highway, no steel or concrete bridges, not a mo dern school house, no rural mail routes, not a bank in the countv, and no automobiles. Mocksville was a small country town, with on ly a few stores and business houses. The town had no electricity, no water system, and in winter the public square was almost impass able. Wonderful changes have ta ken place in these 44 years. The Record has helped in everv way possible to build up the town and county. It made a hard fight for better roads, schools, farms and cattle, and worked early and late to secure new mills, factories and business houses. We rejoice that we have lived to see many of our dreams realized The town and county have fine bard-surface streets and highways, fine bridges, modern and up-to date schools, fine farms and dairies, and a citizenship that any county could well be proud of. We have strong banking houses, modern and up to-date stores, mills and factories, water system, electric lights and power, with fine schools, churches and homes. The rural sections have electric ity, together with many modern country homes equipped with lights, water and many conveniences un known on the farm 40 years ago. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to alt those who have stood by us during all these years. To our advertisers, our large number of subscribers, and to those who have furnished us the news, we are indeed under obligations. We shall strive to continue to merit your support, and give you a news paper that all the family will enjoy reading. It will be free from liquor, wine, beer and dance hall advertis ing. In ou 1 paper you will find a weekly sermon, the Suuday school lesson, a page of comics fot the lit. tie folks, what was banpening in Davie 30 to 44 years ago, a halt page of late war. pictures, a serial story, fashions and recipes for the housewife, many letters and photo graphs from Davic soldiers, togeth er with the local news happenings. Some of these features cannot be found in other county papers. We shall continue to give you a paper that is both interesting and instruc tive, and well worth the subscrip tion price. W. S. C.

Taggart (WNU Feature—Through special arrangement with The American Magazine.) I am an air force chaplain. For more than a year I have lived with men whose daily job is to risk their lives in combat with the enemy. I have seen these men go off on missions never to return. I have watched them during bombing at tacks against our base. I know what they think and feel. I know how they pray. One of our Flying Fortresses was forced down at sea on its way back to Australia. The crew of nine was given up for lost. Weeks later, nine bearded, disheveled men straggled into camp, and I had the story of their rescue from Maj. Allen Lind- berg of Westfield, N. J., pilot of the plane. “It was before dawn when we crashed,” Lindberg told me. “We just had time to shove off on two rubber rafts, without a crumb of food or a drop of water.” “A grim outlook,” I suggested. “Grim enough. The boys were pretty worried—all except Hernan dez. Right away that Iad from Dal las started praying, and pretty soon he startled us by announcing that help was on the way. He didn’t know how or when, but something told him that we should be saved. “I’d only been praying a few min utes when I felt like God had heard me and was taking a hand to help us out. From then on, no matter how bad things got, I was sure we would come through.” The major continued: “You’ve no idea what hell is like until you have been crowded with four other men on a rubber bubble built for three, and left to drift beneath a broiling sun. Toward evening we thought we saw the peaks of mountains to the west. When they dissolved into mist, Hernandez just prayed harder. He got the rest of us to pray and sing with him. We sang ‘Rock of Ages’ and ‘Lead Kindly Light.’ “The second day our lips were too cracked and our tongues too swollen for much hymn singing. But the prayers never stopped. Natives Rescued Hs. “Then something happened. We felt a current reach us and hurry Us along. Before nightfall we saw the silhouette of palm trees, the white streak of surf, and—almost beyond belief—the black hulls of three out-rigger canoes. “Our rescuers were Australian aborigines — black-skinned, kinky- headed fishermen from the main land several hundred miles away. They told us that, the day before, they had been homeward bound with: their catch, when a strange urgtf came over them. Something im pelled them to change their course, and steer for this uninhabited an<f worthless bit of coral.” Yes, prayer does work. There have been other Incidents. Lieut. Frank Beeson of Tuscaloosa, AIa., lay in our base hospital, a gaping shell wound in his shoulder. A pur suit pilot, he had been shot down at Fort Moresby. The doctor’s verdict was: “He’ll never fly again.” “Oh, yes I will,” Frank told me. “How do you know?” “I asked the Lord to give me strength to rejoin my squadron.” A few weeks later, after an incredibly short recovery, Frank was on his way back to Port Moresby and more dogfights with the Japs. I know of men lost and starving in the deserts of Australia, who were found and brought to safely after asking God for help. Of men in bombers shot to pieces by enemy gunfire who, quite literally, -‘prayed their way’ back to base. I know, too, that many times appeals uttered by mothers, wives and sweethearts' in the United States stretched a protective mantle half around the globe to shield us in the South Pacific. Power of Prayer. One high-ranking general told me that he owes his life, in part, to the petitions voiced by his closest friend and former business partner. I myself am living on borrowed time be cause my parents prayed for me in a situation of great danger. As a parson’s son, brought up in a devout Southwest community, I have always believed in the pow er of prayer. I cannot recall a time when it was not an integral part of my daily life. One of my professors at college was a missionary in China. Cap tured by bandits, he and his fellow prisoners were taken to a lonely mountain pass. When no ransom was forthcoming, the bandits determined to shoot them the next day. That night he prayed fervently for guidance, and before dawn a thick cloud settled on the pass.. Wrapped in this cloud of invisibility, he. led his party down the mountainside to safety. Millions of Americans who in the past relied on themselves are now reaching out for help.

Africa With the British Eighth: (By George Lait, Int’l News Service war correspondent, who is back after 31 months’ continuous action under fire, first in the London blitz, then in the eastward British retreat and the triumphant west- ward Bommel-rout to Bizerte with Monk gomery’s Eighth Army. He lived in Uie desert for a year and a half, was wounded three times and frequently cited for valor J It gets reaUy hot in the Western Desert—130 degrees and no shade being quite common during the Sum mer season. But it is no more un comfortable than New York at 95 degrees. In the desert it’s just heat; in New York it’s humidity. The American fliers and British “Tom mies” wear lightweight clothing for comfort, but the Arab wraps up in heavy woolen blankets and half-a- dozen flannel nightshirts “to keep out the heat.” Everyone’s uncom fortable. The Boche and Ginzos are scrupu lous observers of international law as regards rendering useless the in frequent wells in the desert. Instead of poisoning the vital water sup ply, which is prohibited by agree ment, they pollute wells as they re treat by killing a camel, sheep or goat and tossing the carcass into the well. Makes water temporarily un fit for human or animal consump tion, but doesn’t permanently destroy the spring. Several times during the Eighth Army’s 2,500-mile chase after Rommel this was the only water we had; we drank it by hold ing the nose, retained it a few mo ments and then did a railing-of- the-ship act. But managed to gain just enough moisture to keep going. When forced to abandon huge hogs heads of wine at Tobruk, the, running Italians paused just long enough to pour a gallon of gasoline into each barrel. So we used the wine in the radiators of our desert cars and drank the water originally intended for the radiators. Mail deliveries to the boys out there vary, in my own experience, from one week to eight months. Through the U. S. Army Post Office I have received airmail letters from New York to Tripoli in seven days. Through the regular steamer mail via Cairo and the civilian delivery setup, a Christmas package from Sherman Billingsley was delivered to me in July. It contained six not- too-sedate neckties—for which an Arab offered to exchange a wife or. a camel—and 100 books of Stork Club matches, which are priceless out in the blue. In Tunisia, where the stork is considered a bird of favorable omen, Sherman’s match- books were highly acceptable gifts and valuable articles of barter in our dealings with the Senussi, Tau- reg and Berber shieks. The rate of exchange was one book of matches for one egg, one book of matches for one scrawny chicken, one book of matches for one meal. A jeep is shown being loaded into one of the hnge gliders being bnilt for the army. The noses of the gliders are hinged. They are towed to the destination of their cargo by bomber planes. Certain Bedonin tribes and also the famous Indian Ghurkas of Mont gomery’s Eighth Army never draw their knives from the scabbards un less the blade draws blood. To ex pose the naked blade without “blood ing” it makes the weapon lose face. So when a Bedouin or Ghurka takes his knife out to show to a pal, he cuts his own finger to draw a drop of blood before retqming it to its sheath. In New York when a dame wants to give a guy a brush-off she tells him her name is Miss Trout and gives him the phone number of the Aquarium as hers. In Cairo and Alexandria, under similar circum stances, she gives him the phone number of the Egyptian Army Bar racks and tells him to ask for Yamenick Talata (in Arabic, right by-threes, or “squads right”). The Arab in the cities of North Africa is dirty beyond civilized belief. The Bedouin of the desert, how ever, is meticulously clean, although he may die of old age without ever having had a bath in water. The desert Arab scrubs himself many times daily with fine, dry sand; at least seven times daily, as he must cleanse himself thoroughly before each of the seven required daily prayers to Allah. Thronghont North Africa the com mon tongue is Arabic. But dialects differ so widely that natives of one region can’t understand the speech of other regions. But written Arabic is the same throughout, as all lit erate Arabs learn to write from the Koran. So, while an Arab can’t always talk to a stranger, if both can , write they can get along fine by ! scratching tracings in the sand. Ordinary dry tea leaves are the most valued article of barter be tween the troops in the desert and the Arabs. A pound of tea is worth about $6 in the desert region of Egypt, Libya, Cyrenaica and Tripol- itania. Sugar is second in the Arabs’ choice; hasheesh (prohibited by law) third. When I first arrived in the African Desert, the normal rate of exchange was 75 eggs for a can teen cup of dry tea. As more and more soldiers poured into North Africa, the rate dropped to “one cup of tea, one egg.” ON THS {ROME FROiMB RUTH DNYETH SKARS__ rHESE orange crate bedsidt tables are useful and easy to make; they are very decorative, too, when fitted out as illustrated.

Of course, Mexican Legate Is ^ ip 7 bom ABalladerofNote, Chicago Soldier and Doctor hillbillies a n d a n y B ronx troubadour able to tear a m in o r chord from a glittering guitar and sing through the nose at the same time. In Mexico such compositions are written by artists of more stature. Some have been done, to wide and lengthy applause, by that country’s ambassador to Washington. The Mexicans call them corridos. Dr. Francisco Castillo Najera con cedes, however, that they are usual ly about kidnapings, floods, untime ly deaths and blighted love. And what else do the static cow-pokes wail about? Not that Castillo Najera wails. A former Honorary President of the Association of Mexican artists, he Is highfalutin’. “My idea has been more or less to stylize the corrido,” is the way this diplomat explains the situation. If the ambassador hasn’t stylized lately the omission is understandable. He has had lend-lease to ferry over the Kio Grande del Norte and a slather of other interests. He is a sur geon, a public health expert and an army officer who survived heavy shooting to rise from ma jor to major general. And he is a widely saluted prose writer, a Latinist and an expert in the Chinese language. (Maybe he is Mexico’s answer to John Kieran.) The ambassador picked up Chi nese on his first diplomatic job 20 years ago. Later he served in France, Sweden, Belgium and fallen Austria. Rewards he has received from his government and others include enough decorations to cover him from chin to brisket. The Najera family hails from an cient Durango and the ambassador grew up there with nine brothers and sisters. A favorite uncle, a doctor, influenced him to study medicine. He is a big man now, with a shock- of white hair, who climbs any old way into clothes that cost so much they deserve a valet’s tender care. For the sake of his sensitive in nards he smokes a specially treated tobacco, and uses a cigarette holder longer than any you’ll see at the White House. For the sake of his figure he is still grim about setting up exercises. He doesn’t rise for these until eight o’clock in the morn ing; but, on the other hand, he doesn't sit down to dinner until after eight in the evening. Dinner is apt to be an event. He is a famed host, conversationalist and connoisseur of beer as well as a pretty good cook. After dinner be likes slam-bang bridge. Madame Ambassador is a painter in her own right, but busy now as president of the Latin-American division of the Red Cross in Washington. There are four children.

Japan has lots of rain, lots of clouds on almost any day you may wish to pick. The professor should know. He has charted rainfall and related items the world over. Climate is a favorite topic of his when he teaches economic, anthropological and all the other kinds of geography at City College. Not long ago he made a climatic and topographical map for every one of the 43 states. For reasons of his own he held off the making of Montana’s till last, a selective slight which has never been satisfactorily explained to that state’s proud, and often gun-totin’ citizens., Professor Hastings has a deep grudge against Hitler. He says the latter’s antics have cut off this coun try’s normal supply of superior map paper. Grumbling, he takes whal paper he can get and makes it serve better by using an ink mixed ac cording to his own secret process.

HOUSEHOLD M t H O S e e e f f J f t Barbecued Beef on Buns Tastes Good (See Recipe Below) Fun Outdoors Your family will like eating out doors for nothing seems so good as beef barbecues or hamburgers served in the open when appetites are their sharpest, or coffee made on a make-shift stove from a couple of large bricks maneuvered to hold the old granite coffee pot in place. Food is good and wholesome, and there’s plenty of it whether you cook it at home and wrap it up to take with you to the spot of your choice, or if you gather twigs and cook to order. Make use of the back yard for your barbecue, or take to the woods or lake, even if you have to use the bicycle. The change from eating on the dining room table will be a wel come change and will do wonders toward perking up summer appe tites. Make outdoor eating as convenient as dining at home. Be sure to include such things as salt and pepper, nap kins, plenty of cups, plates and sil verware in your basket to make the family comfortable. A spicy sauce with beef or veal makes up a delicious barbecue. The pound and a quarter of meat is enough for 12 buns—just in case you’re interested in stretching those precious red points: *Barbecued Beef on Buns. IYs pounds beef or veal I cup thinly sliced onions I clove garlic, chopped (optional) l'tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Y cup catsup IYs teaspoons salt Ys teaspoon pepper Cut meat in 1-inch cubes and brown in hot fat.

Make on out door stove or wrap carefully In container with plenty of towels to keep warm, and take to barbecue. To serve, spoon on to warmed buns. Hamburgers are still a great fa vorite for outdoor eating, particu larly now since hamburger still has fairly low point value. This recipe makes tasty and tender, well seasoned hamburgers: Prize Hamburgers (Makes 24 hamburgers) 4 pounds hamburger Ys cup chili sauce I teaspoon Worcestershire sauce IYs tablespoons salt I teaspoon onion salt teaspoon jcelery salt 24 buns, toasted and buttered Mix hamburger well with sauce and seasonings.

Watch for changes in point val ues on meats and other red stamp foods. Look, too, for the ceiling prices on many cuts of meat. The butcher usually posts ceiling prices on his wall. Your butter and cheese man can collect y»ur points before he leaves your order. In this way he won’t wake you up if he comes early, or if you’re not at home later in the day. Should he fail to be able to fill your order, he must give you a ration check for points given him but not used, and you can turn this in to your local war price and rationing board. Uniform prices for poultry have been established, and the cam paign against the poultry black market is swinging into shape.

BIBLE TEACHINGS ON THE COST OF DRINKING LESSON TEXT — Deuteronomy 21:18-21; Proverbs 23:20, 21; I Corinthians' 6:9-11. GOLDEN TEXT-Know ye not that the un righteous shall not Inherit the kingdom of God?—I Corinthians 6:9. Billions of dollars—how many we cannot say—make up the annual cost of liquor to America in dollars and cents. Terrifying as it is, that star peiidous waste is but a drop in the bucket compared with the moral and spiritual degradation, the sorrow and suffering, the poverty and distress, which must be added into our liquor bill. For it is not only a matter of dol lars, but of blood and tears, or destroyed usefulness, lost virtue, wrecked homes, and so on and on and on. We go right on paying the bill, allowing ourselves to be misled by clever propaganda, and skillfully manipulated statistics—or it may be our sheer indifference. When will America awaken! Our lesson faces us with the cost of this despicable traffic in the life of the individual to the social order, and in the light oretemity. I. The Personal Cost (Deut. 21: 18-21). Liquor destroys individuals relent lessly, rapidly, and effectively! Have we forgotten that fact? The passage in Deuteronomy presents a drastic remedy for a dread ful situation. Drink and gluttony were recognized as the deadly in strument which would bring a boy to the place where he was incor rigible. Stubborn, rebellious, and disobedient, his parents were to bring him to the elders for a final judgment. If one thinks the penalty too harsh, he must remember that it was estab lished in the early days of Israel when it was necessary for God to use such drastic remedies to stamp out incipient evil. It must be remembered that in ancient Greece weak children were left out to die, and in Rome a father could at will put to death even a grown up son. The point of this scripture for us islthat a Ufe of debauchery (and it can start with just a glass of wine) leads to the ultimate destruction of life. It is far too high a cost to pay for a sinful indulgence. H. The Social Cost (Prov. 23: 20, 21). Drunkenness and gluttony lead to poverty and rags. The intemperate man cannot keep up with the high cost of supplying his growing appe tite. Even as he tries to satisfy its insatiable demand, it also renders him unfit to earn a living. So the vicious circle works its way around, and stops not until the drunkard totters off in his rags, un less perchance some loved one or friend takes care of him. Do we not all recall how families in our own communities have been ruined and become charges upon the county or charitable organizations because of the destruction wrought by a father who was a winebibber. Not only does it bring poverty upon families, but it reduces able and gifted men to shambling wrecks and thus deprives society of the benefii of their live3 and service. A present-day illustration is the unsolved problem of absenteeism for days after pay day in oflr essential industries. Again we say the cost is altogether too high; let us get rid of this monster before it destroys us! m . The Eternal Cost (I Cor. 6: 9-11). Money lost is serious. Life lost is far more serious. But the saddest cost of all is the eternal damnation of the drinker’s soul. We quote from Dr. Horace Martin these stirring and meaningful words :- “It is my calm judgment that any man who names the name of Christ should take an attitude of horror and disgust at the liquor traffic and the use of liquor- as a beverage. There are at least three places in the New Testament where the Bible says that no drunkard shall inherit the king dom of God. “If any man takes that statement seriously he must think twice be fore he refers to the use of liquor in a joking manner, or in any way con dones the use of alcohol as a bev erage” (Lesson Commentary). Drunkenness is a foul and sinful thing, classed by the apostle Paul with the lowest of human vices. Re view the list as it is given in verses 9 and 10 (and by the way notice the other sins mentioned there), and place drunkenness in its proper classification. CaU it what it really is—sin, and then caU on the One who can save from sin. You wiU then be washed from your sin, sanctified, and justi fied in the name of the Lord Jesus (v. 11). In Christ there is hope for the drunkard. A spiritual revival is the real answer to the liquor prob lem. Let us seek to promote it even as we at the same time give our selves to an intelligent and construc tive battle against this destructive force in the life of our nation.

Corn—Home -Canned to Keep! •'Corn, a favorite food of man. beast, and bacteria, is the victim of defense propaganda and I am not talking about'war.” Gladys Kim* trough, Home Service Director of Ball Brothers Company, made die above statement and went on to explain, “Persons who refuse to take the tune and trouble to understandcorn, defend their canning failures by claiming that it refuses to I The truth is, com is more than lag to be canned, but is doomed to spoilage unless right tactics are used, because it has no acid to protect it against the invasion of bacteria. TacticsT Why,” says Miss Kimbrough, "they can be summed up in one sentence: i. e., Ieam what is to be done, begin at the right time, keep tilings mpving, and turn on the heat.” Photo Courtesy Ball Bros. Co. The first thing to be done is to get jars, lids, rubbers, and canner ready. If you have no pressure cooker, get along with a water-bath canner. Examine every jar and lid to see that it is in good condition—remember glass top seals and two- piece metal vacuum seal caps won’t work unless the top edges of thejars are perfect. Wash everything clean; cover jars, glass lids and zinc caps with luke-warm water andput on the stove to heat. Cover vacuum seal lids and rubbers with boiling water and leave until needed. When everything is ready, gather the com—bring in no more than needed for one canner full. Keep in mind that canning too much too late is a common cause of spoilage. Place the com on a board and use .a strong sharp knife to cut the husks (shucks to you in the Middle West and South) off at each end just where the com begins and ends. There shouldn’t be asp worms if you have followed Victory garden directions, but if there are worms in the tassel end, cut deep enough to leave them with the husks. The husks will come o9 easily and bring most of the silks with them.Examine every ear of com and use only those having plump, glossy, juice-filled kernels. Remove all silks; rinse the com and cut it from the cob. One or more cuttings may be made, but scrapings should not be used unless processing can be done in a pressure cooker, because the scrapings make a thick mass that heats through slowly. Cover the com with boiling water, using about half as much water as com; cook five minutes; then pour immediately into clean, hot jars. A gen erous amount of water helps the com heat through quickly and aids in preventing its sugar from carmel- izing and causing a brownish color. Add one teaspoon salt to the quart and seal jars according to manu facturer’s directions. Then put into the canner and process.If possible, use pint jars, as they heat through more rapidly — the quicker the jars can be heated through, the more certain the destruction of bacteria. Process pints and quarts 70 minutes at 10 pounds pressure or by boiling 3% hours in hot-water bath. Remove the jars from the canner as promptly as possible after processing; finish sealing all jars that require rubber rings; set jars as far apart as possible on folded newspaper or cloth so they can cool quickly, but be sure they are not where a breeze will strike them.The jars should be examined after twelve hours in order to make sure they are sealed. To do this, remove bands from glass top sgals and metal vacuum seal caps (leave the bands off when the jars are put away). Test the glass top seals by nulling gently on the lids with the finger tips. Vacuum seals are tested by pressing down on them with the fingers—if sealed, they won’t move under this pressure.are tested by holding upside Jown and watching for leaks. There won’t be any leaks if instructions are followed and there won’t be any spoilage if you keep in mind that vigilance means Victory.

Looks to Tomorrow AcaaPboto His Figs, Go to War Young Jriumy Clay of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, is typical of farm children raising victory pigs and devoting profits to War Bonds. 'TOMORROW'S farmers and farm x homemakers are second to no school group in their enthusiasm for investing in War Bonds and Stamps to make sure their future is secure. Through the Schools At War program they are investing what they save and earn in War Stamps and Bonds. First evidence of this is the amount the 4-H Club boys and girls and the FFA boys invested in war savings in 1942 from "Victory Pig" and other projects. A million and a half 4-H Club members put $6,000,- 000 of their own savings in War Bonds and Stamps and sold $2,500,- 000 worth of War Savings to their neighbors. Nearly a quarter mil lion members of Future Farmers of America invested more than $1,- 500,000. Spurred by the realization that the financial welfare of farm families the next 20 years depends on how wisely they use today’s higher incomes from increased food' and other wartime production, both groups have set their goals still higher for 1943. These farm youths are building financial reserves, and urging their parents to do the same, for after- the-war necessities, to meet financial emergencies and to help them get started in college. They’re building reserves today for tomorrow’s farm buildings ana for the other things they will need when they’re tomorrow’s farmers and homemakers.

N. C. Perhaps the great majority of mankind want something for noth Ing. This is according to the nat ural tendency of the heart apart from God, Howsver. this is not right, especially when it comes to things of great worth and real val ue We should realize that every thing worth while costs something, and we should have principal e- nough to give sufficient for values received. Many people want a living, but nre not willing to earn it. They know it costs others to feed and clothe them, and to meet their ex penses in various ways, but they are willing that it shall be done while they fail to give of their time and iabor sufficiently to earn it No doubt tens of thousands of peo ple are living off the government, or off of charity, many of whom are able to work and make their own way. It is not right. Some body has to labor and toil for the food they eat and the raiment they wear, therefore it isn’t right for them to idle tbeir time away and depenp upon others making their living for them. It is true that there are those who are disabled to work, therefore somebody has to work for them. Again there are those who are honest and willing to work, and wont work, who sometimes get out of a job and need help. However, they do not want a living for nothing. It is not their principal. When they can get work they go to it willing ly and gladly. This is as it ought to be. It means a great deal in life to carry fair with everybody. This hurts no one. It puts no extra burden upon others. When we lift and carrv our part of life’s load, and not try to shift it upon others, we have a dear conscience in that respect. God blesses those who treat their fellows right. No doubt many a strong young man idles much of his time away and lets bis dear old father labor and toil and make his living for him. Also many ajyoung girl who is well and able to ,work lets her mother toil for her, while she lays in the bed until a late hour' of the day, then gets up, eats and dresses and lounges about, or gads around. This certainly Isn’t right. No youth can make a success of life who depends upon tbeir parents feeding and clothing them while they idle and lounge about, or gad around for a “good time.” Life’s better way is to carry fair at home and everywhere else. up appearances, but are liable to go around in dirty underwear. This is a home front problem that’s a. bout as close to home as you can Ret. I figure it’s high time everybody got out the washboard and keep on being good neighbors. If we allow the situation to get worse, we won’t be mingling any more,/ we'll just be shouting at one another, from a distance. A little elbow greese won’t hurt anybody. And from what the ra dio fellows say, there a special kind of suds that will clean your duds in L jiffy, without any danger of your hands getting barnacles. But the question is, where can you get material for washboards? I reckon they’re in vital war equip ment like tanks and the-brass, jails In cocktail lounges. And even If you got a washboard, who’s got a tub to put it In? Maybe the WPB will have to step in with priorities. Anyway, I claim that keeping our clothes dean is a mighty imoortan matter that ought not to be allowed to become a strench in the nostrils of the na tion. Adventures Of A Dime Howard Peckham, curator of the CIementsLibrary at the University of Michigan, wanted a map of his home township and sent a dime to the Geological Survey for a map. According; to a letter be wrote Secretary of Interior Ickes, the Geologal Survey advised that ft is not sending out maps in wartime. Bntinaome manner the dime had to be accounted for and the adven tures of the thin piece of silver start ed in earnest. “The keeper of the red tape,” Mr. Peckham wrote, "required that it be deposited with a proper ledger entry. Then the Survey notified the Trea sary Department of its monetary ac quisition—and doubtless was congra tulated on the event. The Treasury Department now took up j the transaction and, with proper authorization from the Geo logical Survey to the Department of Disbursement (via Schedule 293, Se rial 4148, Voucher 9816264), issued a check for 10 cents as a refund to me.’ Mr. Peckham says hia bank de mands a 20-cent fee to cash the eheck.

Thomjwon) St. Paul in writing to the Philip Las says: “It is my prayer that your love may grow richer and richer in knowledge.” There are two things in this prayer that I want to speak about. First, love; and second, knowledge. Paul believed that love and kno wledge are subjects that we can pray about. Love needs knowl edge as Its companion in life. What a silly world this would be if u as Christians, were motivated only by IOve without knowledge. When love is alone it dwindles into maw kish sentimentality, into gushing What a Let-Down The position of the First Lad; of the land, the President’s 'wife, is first a wife then the mistress of the greatest mansion on earth — The White House at Washington—where she is supposed to reign in a grace ful and uplifting wanner and there by set an example for all American women to follow. In years past A- merican womanhood has looked to the White House lady for precedent, for leadership in fashion, in thought and in conduct. The White House lady for precedent, for Ieadersblp in fashion, in thought and in fashion, in thought and in conduct.. The White House and its Kirst Lady was the sbrine upon which American womanhood took its cue, its course and its traditions. What a departure from ail tbe the time honored customs set by the ladies of the White House in tbe past hundred years are we facing to. day. We wonder what the secret thoughts are of the women of a na1 tion and the fairy tales taught to the children of a great commonwealth of the graceful ladies of the first mansion of the world, of the honor, respect and gracefulness of the reign of tbe president’s wives.It makes a nation sick to read of the First Lady of the White House galloping and gallivanting all over the nation, blowing off her ideas to every group that will listen to her. Buttheonetbattakesthelid off is the picture made recently of Mrs, Roosevelt and a bunch of negroes, with her standing in the middle. T: is picture was used recently by some of the leading magazines. And it is an open secret that tbe race riots being staged over the na tion, in Beveral instances, have their beginning with encouragement given by the first lady to negroes of the nation. Tbe Daughter of Eleanor' dubs of negro women throughout the South and North is something that will face this nation sooner or later. The President’s wife has spoken dozens of times to negro groups oyer tbe country and the ob ject of her talk are questionable to to a free land. Wbat a let-down it must' be to nation’s womanhood and girlhood for the supposed head and leader of a nation’s society and works to find it* self with this brand of leadership. What a pity.—Ex. Even in religion one can have zeal without knowledge. We must not allow our love to become arot ic. When Tesus spsake of love he refers to that sentiment of the heart which is guided by knowledge. Paul piaved that Philipplansmigbt become richer and richer in know ledge. When Christ issued his com tnand to love God with all tby heart and soul and strength he also includes knowledge. We are to love God with the mind as well as with all the other faculties of the inner life. Some people seem to think that love is always blind. I doubt it.. I think that love is tre mendously discerning. No doubt love by itself is blind and stupid and has committed many blunders, but love piloted by knowledge is a wonderful jorce in human life. It has redeemed souls, conquered bate, driven selfishness to cover, triumphed over vindictiveness and set tbe prisoner free. What kind of a monstrosity is knowledge with out love. It is cruel, besttal, atro cious and diabolical. It becomes effideni to the highest degree, sci entific in' its skill tej kill, regard less of human worth- and ignorant of God It cares not for soul, per* sonality, the . spirit! ot man. No wonder Paul prayed-that his friends love might become ricbei and rich er in knowledge. Knowledge with out love wiil bankrupt the world. We are orthodox when we pray for love and knowledge, therefore let us pray and keep on praying. Cows Make Fine Records Peterboroogb, N. H. — J.

Southern Editor Blames Mrs. Roosevelt For Riots Inoneofthemoat blistering edi torial attacks upon Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the Jackson (Miss) Dailv News blames the First Lady for the bloody race riots in Detroit. This editorial which appeared Jone 22, was placed in the Congressional Record by Representative Frank W. Uoykin, of Alabama. It is as follows: BLOOD ON HER HANDS It s blood on your bands, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. Mnre than any other person, you are morally responsible for those race riots in Detroitwheretwodozen were killed and fully 500 injured in nearly a solid day of street fighting. You have been personally pro claiming and practicing social equal ity at the White Houseand wherever you go, Mrs. Roosevelt. In Detroit, a city noted for the growing impudence and insolence of its negro population, an attempt was made to put your preachments into practice. Mrs. Roosevelt. Wbat followed is now history. Streets rad red with blood until the President of the United States, who happens to be your husband, de clared martial law and sent troops to the scene. No sort of camouflage or false claiming can hide the ugly facts of what happened in Detroit. It isn’t pleasant to say this con cerning the First Lady of the land It isn’t pleasant for millions of peo ple te be living in dailv fear of be ing killed or injured in racial clashes, either. Claim of tbe National Association for the Advancementof Colored Peo ple was the result of Axis propa ganda isn’t even decent nonsense. Axis propaganda bad nothing what ever to do with it. It was inevitable that something of this sort should happen. Authori ties in scores of our large cities, es pecially industrial centers, have been for many months in hourly fear of such outbreaks. There is some melancholy gratification in the fact that it happened in one of our north era-most cities, just across from the Canadian boarder, and not in tbe deep South or even the middle South. Down this way we have tried to use patience, tolerance, and forbearance in dealing with all phases of the race problem. Blood on your hands, Mrs. Roose velt! And tbe damned spots won’t wash out, either. Fire or Hire? On June 8, Under Secretary of War Patterson told a Congressional committee that the War Department planned to dismiss 100.000 employees.

Who’s News ThisWeek By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. N J EW YORK.—Peace and its prob- ’ Iems are the concern of brisk Nelson Rockefeller. His Office of Inter - American Affairs, having » i t » n scotched theRockefellerDoea Axis fifth, As Well on Own columns AaGanderHagg southward, works now, he says, for a long-term two-conti nent control of production and prices. An aggressive grandson of the aggressive John D., Sr., young Nelson has fixed himself solidly in the hemispheric'picture. His family name may have helped him to a running start and Har ry Hopkins’ blessing gave him an early breather, but latterly he seems to have done very well on his own. He is 35 now, with the strong, squarish face of his father and con siderable good looks. Married 13 years he has five children—Rod man, Ann, Steven, and twins, Mi chael and Mary. Not until the sec ond twin was one of the-five named for Mary Todhunter Clark whom Rockefeller married practically the minute he finished his studies at Dartmouth. At Dartmouth he lived on SI,500 a year, but he had to save 10 per cent and give TO away. That was a 20 per cent income slash long before Morgenthau got the idea. But he learned to handle money. And now, as a trustee of the Rich Metropoli tan Museum of Art and of the Livly Modern Museum, and as a director of the family's epoch al Rockefeller Center, he deals with mountains of currency and never turns a hair. 'T'HROUGH three long years Sir Bernard Paget’s Home Com mand has stood on the alert, never sure it would not need to fight on D M the beaches Now Sir Bernard’s and Jn the CoastingDownHill hills. Now, With a TaU Wind however, Englan dhears of a happily “altered military situation” and' Sir Bernard orders soldiers to begin tearing down those barriers hurriedly raised when the terrible Hun was just outside the gate. A lieutenant general, Sir Ber nard has been eommander-in- \ chief of the Home forees for a couple of years. Earlier he tan gled with the Nazis in Norway. They had him outnumbered and his problem was to pull back his hardpressed troops and embark them without a major engage ment. He deployed by day, forced the Nazis to deploy to meet the threat of battle, then at night ran like all get-out for the coast. It was a back- handed victory, but then he was content. In the last war Sir Bernard ended up a major, DSO, MC, with an Italian decoration, nu merous flattering dispatches and > four wounds, including a crip- ' pled left arm. When the French chivvied Abdel Krim he was an observer, perhaps picking up some pointers about night re treats. A redheaded son of a one-time bishop of Oxford, and 55 years old, he still is enough influenced by his father to want sweetness and light in his army. Not long ago he or dered an end of strong language, or at any rate less of it. With those barriers falling his soldiers should find obedience easier. 'T'HEY tell you, in army circles, * that Lieut.

Deputy chief ofstaff, the youngest officer ever to hold that post, McNar- ney is generally considered a soldier who talks only when he knows bis facts. He was born in Pennsylvania 50 years ago. His father was a lawyer, a tough prosecutor; his mother an indomitable temper ance worker. After West Point he switched In ’15 to the signal corps which then included the lit tle air arm we'possessed. About - the same time' he switched to matrimony with a handsome little school ma’am from San Diego. He was an air officer in France through the little World war and has been one ever since. Like other top commanders of the American army at this time, his permanent rank is nothing much. The lieuten ant generalcy is but a temporary one, and unless our congress is big hearted after peace is declared, he might drop back to colonelcy.He is a tall man and lean and dark, with not much hair forward any more. By some he has been called dour, taciturn and ruthless, but his many good friends insist that the word “fair” be added. French War Chief Visits Roosevelt $ Gen.

By VIRGINIA VALE Released by W estern N ew spaper Union, JUDY CANOVA, the Flor ida comedienne who made hog calling pay dividends, is coming into her own this sea son, after years of being fea tured, co-starred, and every thing else but starred. With “Sleepy Lagoon" just finished for ltepublic studios, the lanky hillbilly immediately started her own star ring roles in two mediums, films and radio. In August she goes to Columbia Pictures, to star in an ex- JUDY CANOVA pensive production, “Louisiana Hay- ride” ; at present she has the honor of replacing Al Jolson on the air, Tuesday nights. Mrs. Robert Donat saw her hus band for the first time in two years at a recent Hollywood preview, but only on the screen. Robert insisted on her going to America when the war clouds gathered, but he re mained in England. The picture was M-G-M’s “Tartu,” in which he plays a swashbuckling secret agent—it’ll be ready for the rest of us to see. That very good mystery, “The Fallen Sparrow,” will be filmed by RKO Radio with a cast so good that it’s got to be fine. Manreen O’Hara, who co-starred with Charles Laugh ton in “This Land Is Mine,” heads it. Those publicity questionnaires which Hollywood stars fill out for their studios are frequently a source of amusement. George Sanders, for example, who co-stars with Mar guerite Chapman in' Columbia’s “Appointment in Berlin,” came across the question, “What did your parents want you to become?” Whereupon Sanders promptly wrote “Self-supporting!” Eddie Cantor made his first trip East in a year to launch a new Lib erty ship, look for talent for his new picture, “Show Business,” and to raise money to admit 6,000 young sters from Nazi Europe into Pal estine; the British government had agreed to admit them if they could be provided for. Cantor gave the arrangements a good start by adopt ing 500 children himself. Incidentally, said he, he could always use a new name for his radio show. If you liked Helen Hayes’ radio drama, “Bid for Happiness,” look forward to seeing it in pictures. Samuel Goldwyn has announced that' when Teresa Wright returns to the movie this autumn she will be fea tured in a film based on the air show. Peggy Allenby, of NBC’s “David Harum,” has learned to make her motto, “Never expect much.” Once a radio directorv phoned her that she was perfect for a certain part on his show. She rushed to the studio—and found the part consisted of one piercing shriek! But as a mat ter of fact, it was one of the highest- paid screams ever screamed over a radio network.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCESVILLEt N. C. Cautions for Home Canneis Housewives ,doing home canning yith wartime jar. caps are cautioned to follow implicitly the instructions of the cap manufacturers if they wish to avoid unhappy experiences and waste in their patriotic effort to con- serve. Spoilage of food and breakage of jars is certain to result, if instructions. are not followed to the letter.Proper methods and careful can? lung will insure excellent results, more important in the present food SituatiOTi than at any other time.The Glass-Top Seal Fruit Jar Cap* a wartime product developed to con*. serve metal, requires careful use, according to the home service departments of fruit jar manufacturers. Iliis cap consists of a metal, band, glass lid and rubber ring. With these threfe .widely varied materials making up its component parts, the cap must be used according to important but easily followed instructions. First ot all, the cap is not recommended for, a n d must not be used' in, oven can* Ding.If the food is processed (cooked In a jar), one inch of space must be left In the top of the jar when filled, in order to allow room for expansion. If an open kettle is used a half-inch of space must be left in the top of the Jar.The next step is to place the rub* ber around the projection on the bot* tom side of the lid. and the lid must then be placed so that the rubber lies between it and the top edge of the jar. AU jars on which top-seal clos* ures, either glass or metal, are used must have smooth-top edges.The band is then applied tightly and immediately loosened slightly about one-quarter of a turn. Bands must fit loosely during the processing or cooking. If an open kettle is used, the bands are to be screwed tight as soon as the jar is filled. After the processing is completed the bands are screwed tight to complete the seal. The bands may be removed twelve hours after the canning opera* tion. At no time should the filled jars be turned up-side-down.The housewife who takes no chances on variance from any one of these simple but important steps is assured of success ana the enjoyment of the delicious flavor of home canned foods this winter.—Adv.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for August I . Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. GOD DELIVERS HIS PEOPLE LESSON TEXT—Exodus 5:22, 23; 6:1-7; 12:51.GOLDEN TEXT—Call upon me In the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou Shalt glorify me.—Psalm 50:15. Why doesn’t God do something? People are quick to ask such a ques tion in a time of crisis. Today they want to know why God permits the war to go on. In the day of our lesson Moses wanted to know why God did not deliver His people from Egypt. He and Aaron had been ap pointed of God to lead them out, but their first efforts only met with fail ure and increased persecution. The complaint of Moses, and the response of God make an instruc tive story for our consideration and guidance. It will answer our ques tions. I. Moses Said, “Thou Hast Not Delivered Thy People” (Exod. 5:22, 23). When the efforts of Moses brought heavier burdens on the people they blamed him and Aaron for making their situation worse. This sorrow and shame made them doubt God’s calling and commission. How quick ly men are discouraged in their pur pose to serve God. The people were wrong in their attitude. They should have been patient. They ought not to have as sumed that the loss of the first skirmish meant the loss of the whole campaign. Are we not just like them? The new minister or the recently elected Sunday school superintendent makes a mistake and instead of helping him to pick up the pieces and start over, we decide that he just will not do, that we must have a change. Even though the people were wrong, however, the man of God should not have lost his faith and accused God of failure to keep His promise. He was supposed to have learned the lesson of patience in the long years on the backside of the desert. Had he forgotten the expe rience of the burning bush? n . God Said, “I Am Jehovah, Thou Shalt See What I will Do” (Exod. 6:1-7). In other words, Moses was to re member that he was dealing with the Eternal One, unchangeable, and always true to His word and able to make His will come to pass. So often men in dealing with God think of B m in terms of their own weakness and failure. What we need is to have a Godlike conception of God, not a manlike idea of Him. God is the infinite and Eternal One with whom we have-no right to quarrel, and whose dealings with us are too high for us to judge (Ps. 139:1-6). God’s covenant with His people was established (v. 4). He had heard their cry (v. 5) and His deliverance was sure (v. 6). The only thing Moses had to do was to wait and see God work. That word “wait” is a little one. It seems to call for no effort, to be easy of fulfillment; yet it seems to be the hardest thing for a human being to do. Men who carry the burden of active warfare with ease and with honor become discouraged and sick when they must sit in a prisoner’s concentration camp and wait for deliverance. Christians who can speak and work for God when things are ac tive and moving become querulous and despondent when they have to wait for something to happen, or when they are laid aside for a time. His promise Is sure. That is not just a religious sentiment. It is a fact, and it is proved by history. Note that in the case of Moses— III. Histoty Said, “It Came to Pass Ae Selfsame Day” (Exod. 12: 51). Moses had to take God’s word, for “the selfsame day," which we read here came later. It came in God's own time, after He had, through Moses, humiliated and bro ken the hard will of Pharaoh. Then He gave His people the great memorial feast of the Passover, teach ing them the needed lesson that redemption is by the shedding of blood. In that night Jehovah did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. That deliverance was as certain the day He made the first promise to Abraham (v. 3, and Gen. 12:1-3) hundreds of years be fore, as it was now that it had been accomplished. History is really God’s story, revealing His outworking of His plan for mankind. The torn and blotted pages are man’s handiwork. Sin and unbelief have caused him to hinder the work of God, but God is not defeated, and in the midst of man’s self-created chaos, He pro ceeds quietly to work out His .own purpose. The many prophecies of Scripture which have been fulfilled not only prove its divine inspiration, but demonstrate its dependability. Ev ery promise of God is “yea and amen” in,Christ (II Cor. 1:20, 21), We can count on that I H M S t H O l P M f M OS...* -PR O C ESSIN G VEGETABLE Artichokes .............

In other years, the first question we asked after that, was, do you have a pressure cooker?You see, a pressure cooker is the safest, most desirable method of putting up vege tables which are non - acid. The reason: In- most soil theTe is a deadly germ called Botulinus which attaches it self to vegetables In the non-acid class, to which most of them belong. Mr. Botulinus is hard to destroy except by extreme heat—which the pressure cooker can give as most vegetables are processed at an above-boiling point, 240 degrees Fahrenheit.Let me go on record as saying use the pressure cooker if you pos sibly can. Chances of your being able to buy one are slim, but perhaps there’s a neighbor or friend or a local canning center which will give you the means of having one. If it’s absolutely impossible to ob tain a pressure cooker, do non-acid vegetables by the boiling water bath. It takes much longer, to proc ess the vegetables, but don’t skimp a minute of it, if you would be successful. Processing Foods Processing times have been care fully tested and cannot be short ened. Follow them to the letter to get results. Processing may be done in various ways, and it is im portant to select the one best suited to the food you are putting up. A pressure cooker gives you the greatest degree of safety in canning non-acid vegetables for it permits the greatest degree of heat to pene trate the jar and thus destroy botulinus. To use the pressure cooker, prepare the product, pre cook it and pack carefully, in ster ilized jars. Adjust, cap. Prepare pressure cooker by pouring hot water into the bottom of the cooker up to the level of the rack. Place filled jars on rack, allowing for suf ficient circulation of water around them. Be sure jars do not touch. Place top on pressure cooker and clamp on tightly. Leave pet cock open 7-10 minutes to .exhaust all steam in cooker, otherwise you will not get correct pressure. After all steam is exhausted,, close pet-cock and let pressure mount to desired de gree, then turn down heat, and maintain pressure exactly or liquid will be drained from jars if pressure is allowed to fluctuate. When processing time is up, re move cooker from beat,‘let pressure reach zero, then remove lid, so steam does not hit you when cooker is opened. Set jars on several thick ness of cloth or paper, and let cool, without inverting. Hot Water Bath. A large, deep vessel with a tight- fitting cover is best for making this type of canner. IJse a big kettle, a lard can, a deep well cooker with galvanized wire or rack at the bot tom of it to hold the jars one-half inch from the bottom of the canner. Before putting jars in canner, have water boiling briskly. If the jars lower the temperature and it stops boiling when they’re submerged, do Lynn Says: What to 0o: Make rationing work by using fresh fruits and vegetables for canned whenever possible. To save money, use seasonal produce generously. In main dishes that call for tomatoes or tomato juice, use fresh tomatoes when in season, put up home canned foods, or substitute brown gravy.Save and store excess water from vegetables in a covered con tainer and use for flavoring soups, stews and gravies. Omit chili sauce and catsup in recipes unless you have the home- canned variety. Chopped green pepper and relishes add pep to salads and sandwich fillings with out taking ration points. Cooked dressings or sour cream dressings will help save your us ing too much oil for salad dressings. Save every ounce of extra fat from meat. Use it for baking or frying,-or give it to the butcher. This Week’s Menu Tomato Staffed with Cottage Cheese Potato Chips OlivesBye Bread-Bntter Sandwiches Baspbeny Shortcake Beverage not count processing time until the water boils. It’s especially important to make certain there’s plenty of water in the boiling water bath. There should be enough to come two inches above the jars. If water boils out during processing, add some boiling water from a teakettle on the range. Canning Procedure. Use the table given at the head of this column for guiding you in precooking and processing vegetables. The ideal way of proceeding with your canning is as follows: First, before you even start can ning, get jars ready by washing them in hot soapy suds and scalding them. Check for nicks, cracks and sharp edges on jars, to see that they are perfect. Prepare jars ahead of time and invert them on several thick-.. _ nesses of clean towel near your stove so that you have them on hand when canning. Prepare vegetables by washing thoroughly and then cutting or pre paring as for table. Precook, ac cording to table. Pack in sterile jars and process for required time.Set jars to cool, after processing on several thicknesses of towel or newspaper, away from drafts. Let cool for 24 hours. If using a self sealing lid with screwy band, remove screw band and Iuse it over again. Test the jars I by tapping gently on lid. If youj get a high ringing note, the jar is sealed and may be stored. ■ Reasons, for Spoilage. Spoilage reasons are many and may be traced to any part of the canning procedure. Sometimes it is easier to avoid failures if you know what causes certain types of spoilage. If fruit or vegetables are over ripe; sterilization is difficult as bac teria may have developed to a degree which it is not possible to arrest. Use only produce In prime condition as you get out of your jars what you put in them. W ashing all vegetables and'fruits before working will get rid of bacteria which cling in the soil. Unclean jars can work havoc with your canning effort. Best remedy for this is washing jars thoroughly In clean soapy suds and then scald ing, and laying the jars inverted on several thicknesses of clean towel until ready to ,use. Lidsshouldalso be sterilized. Sealing. Seal the cap according to the prin ciple on which it was made. A self sealing cap seals' by vacuum cre ated by the cooling of the contents ot the jar, and the screw band does not need tightening after processing. Zinc caps and rubber bands should -be tightened. Cain for Health. ’ Fruits and vegetables are known to be a rich source of health-giving vitamins and ,minerals. Vitamin A for example, so extremely essential to children and adults alike, Is found in large quantities of certain fruits and vegetables. Vitamin A promotes growth; it helps, to prevent eye dis eases; it helps*guard against infec tions; it helpisiprevent night blind ness; it aids in the normal functioning of glands; it increases' the Efe span. From experimental stud ies it appears that if a child, during the years from 3 to 10, is fed very large amounts of vitamin A, he will be less susceptible to the usual chil dren’s diseases. A growing child requires 3,000 International Units of vitamin A daily; an adult 6,000 to 8,000 daily.

Belrawd by Western Nntspaper Union, A SERI ES OF 'SPECIAL ARTICLES I BY THE LEADING WAR CORRE: Non-Violence Gan Conquer By Mohatma Gandhi (WNU Fttture^-Tbrougb special arrangement with Colliers Wteklf) My principle of non • violence means, in general terms, that men will deliberately shun all weapons of slaughter and the use of force of any kind whatsoever. The most familiar comment on this principle is that we who believe in it are naive fools without realistic Imowledge of the world. The criticism is leveled particularly against me, since it is my name that is most commonly associated with non-violence. It is said that if I were not such a simpleton, deliberately closing -my eyes to conditions as they really are, I would know that non-violence can never hope to prevail over such powerful and brutal forces as those represented by Nazi Germany and Japan, which are the essence of un scrupulous armed might. Non-vio lence, it is said, may be all very well in theory, but in practice, it is too hopelessly idealistic to have any chance of success in this modern world of armored divisions, para chute troops, dive bombers. Are we naive fools? Is non-vio lence a sort ot dreamy wishful thinking that has never had and can never have any real success against the heavy odds of modem armies and the unlimited applica tion ot force and frightfulness? India’s recent history gives the answer to this. We have won con siderable victories. We have faced powerful armed forces and we have not been swept out of the way. We still exist; belief in non-violence still exists. Does not the fact that only a single victory has been won prove that non - violence, developed to greater perfection, could win great er victories against greater armed forces? But let me describe the true fol lower of non-violence—the true non. violent soldier as I see him. Ability to Die. The chief requisite for a soldier In a violent army is physical fit ness. But in the non-violent army, the chief requisite is the ability to die for your belief. This depends not on physical but on mental fit ness. Therefore, this army can wel come to its ranks old men,'women, youths, the blind, the sick and the lame. Thus it follows that.the non violent army has a much greater mass base; it consists not merely of a certain section of the population but of all sections. The non-violent army has no use for weapons. It beats its swords into plowshares and its spears into pruning hooks. Whereas, the sol dier of the violent army is trained in the use of violence by being taught how to shoot, the non-violent soldier comes through nursing the sick, saving those in danger at risk of his own life, and cultivating the capacity for sacrifice of the highest type. He must have the resourcefulness and capacity to plunge' into seem ingly impenetrable scenes of riot ing, the will and the desire to go to the rescue of men trapped in burn ing houses, and the fearlessness to plunge into a flood to save people drowning there. There have been those in India who. had weapons but who threw them away after embracing non violence and offered themselves freely and unafraid to bullets and. raw steel. This is the true non-violent sol dier. I have heard it said that the non violent movement has had some ac ceptance in India only because the Indian people are cowards who have no weapons and therefore are in capable of defending themselves;, that non-violence, therefore, suits them very well indeed. On the evidence I have given, are the Indian people cowards? Would a coward have the -courage to bare his breast to a 'rifle? Is there any army in the world that could prevail over such soldiers? Having no fear themselves, could Hitler^ could Japan conquer , them? v Judge if we are naive' fools; if there, is. no.courage in our hearts! Judge if we who believe' in non violence, have-.no practical ..concep tion of how' to'overcome the evils that exist :in today's.world! • .. The non-violent soldier recognizes ho such'thing'a£ an extemal ehemy. He has nothing but compassion for those who consider tfemselVes to be his enemies. He believes that no man is intentionally wicked, that there is no man who does not have the faculty to discriminate between right and wrong, and that if that faculty were to';be fully’developed, it would mature into non-violence. No men can remaineriemies In the face of such a treatment said such a spirit. They must ultimately be ab sorbed by this great movement and become part of it.'

Others would find it infinitely more difficult to carry on even the most ordinary daily activities—with no trucks on the move, no’ cars or buses taking workers to war plants and farms, soldiers to camp and home on furlough, business travelers to nearby communities, chil dren to school. We North Carolinians are apt to take for granted the convenience of our excellent roads — but these highways didn’t just grow. Building and maintaining them is a tremendous job and for achieving this successfully we can thank past and pres ent administrations and particularly the North Carolina State Highway and Pub lic Works Commission. That isn’t the whole story, however. Transforming these lifeless ribbons of concrete and macadam into live, active arteries of public transportation has been the accomplishment of the North Carolina Utilities Commission. They’ve labored hard and long to give .our State a transportation system that compares favorably with any other in the country. All of us who live and work and pay taxes in North Carolina can take pride in our share in this highway system. As fellow citizens, the Greyhound Lines have made a very large contribution in the form of license, fuel and operating taxes — but we feel that our greatest service is in putting the highways to work for the benefit of ell who must travel, making near neighbors and good neighbors of all the communities we serve throughout Hie State.

For many months the Banks of Davie County have studied ways and means of rendering to all desposit- ora on a uniform basis our standard checking account services. After examining a number of plans we have selected one which is beihg used in many of the country’s leading banks and proven to be both easily understood and essentially fair to all depositors. Effective August 1.1943 every ac count averaging $100.00 or mote will be analyzed each month on the same basis to determine the extent of banking services used. These ser vices are priced at a fair value and a service allowance credit wiil be given on the balances maintained during the month to apply against the ac tivity costs. U ndert iB new plan each deposi tor will receive full benefit from his balances as-well as share hiB propor tionate part of costs Some will pay more and some less for their banking services and others will have no charge at all, as their balances will be of such size that their service al- lowance will cover their activity costs. The following schedule will explain the service allowance and various ac tivity costs. If you desire further explanation do not hesitate to call us For Accounts Averaging $100.00 Or More Per Month Service Allowance Every account will earn a service allowance credit each month of 2 per cent, per annum on the net collected balance after deducting required re serves.

See Here, Private Hargrove! by M o r io n H a r a r o v e THE STOBY SO FAB: Edw ardThom as M arlon Lawton H argrove, feature edfc tor of the Charlotte (N. C.) News, has started his story of a private’s life In the arm y by giving prospective dough* boys some solid advice on w hat course to pursue the days and nights before Induction. He advises them to “ paint the town red.** On getting into the arm y be tells them “ to keep your mind open** as the “first three weeks are tbe hard* est." Like a job in civil life, says Har* grove, it’s the first im pression that counts. He has received his own induc tion notice and with a num ber of other soon*to*be»soldiers has completed the first day a t cam p. He is stationed a t Fort Bragg, N. Carolina. CHAPTER H A soldier stuck his head through the door of our new dormitory and gave a sharp whistle. “Nine o’clock!” he yelled. “Lights out and no more noise! Go to sleep!” “It has been, withal, a very busy day,” I said to Piel, who was bur ied with his hay fever in the next bunk. “It sure withal has,” he said. “What a day! What a place! What a life! With my eyes wide open I’m dreaming!” “It’s been a little hellish out to day,” I agreed, “although it could have been worse. We actually saw a corporal and he didn’t cuss us. We have eaten Army food twice, and, except for the haphazard way the pineapple was thrown toward the peas, it wasn’t horrifying.” “I am broken and bleeding," moaned Piel. " "Classification tests, typing tests, medical examinations. The old sergeant, his face beam ing sweetly, purred, “You are now members of the Army of the United States. Now, damn it, shut up.” I think I walked eighteen miles through those medical examina tions. It’s a good thing this is July. I would have frozen in my treks with all that walking and exposure. Nothing I had on, except a thin little iodine number on my chest.” “Funny thing about the medical examination,” a voice broke in from down the line. “Before you get it, you’re afraid you’ll pass. When you go through the examinations, you’re afraid you won’t.” “I noticed that,” I said. “I don’t have any special hankering for a soldier’s life, but I thought when I was going through the hoops this morning that this would be a helluva time for them to back out.” “The little fellow who. slept down at the end got sent back,” said a loud whisper from across the room. “One of his legs was shorter than the other. He’s a lucky dog.” “PU bet he doesn’t think so,” said Piel. “At this stage of the game, I’m glad it was him instead of me.” A dark form showed itself in the doerway. “I told you guys to shad- dap and go to sleep. Do it!” A respectful silence filled the room for three minutes. “Look at me,” said Piel. “Won’t the folks in Atlanta be proud when they get my letter! Me, Melvin Piel, I’m a perfect physical specimen.” Big Jim Hart, the football star whom I had known in high school, spoke up. “Don’t go Hollywood about it, Piel. Just remember, Har grove’s a perfect specimen too. And just two weeks ago, when we were waiting out in front of the armory for the draft board examiners to get there, he had one foot in the grave.” “And the other foot?”' “That’s the one he keeps In his- mouth.”“Yessir,” said Piel, “the Army makes men.”So we quietly went to sleep. This morning we took the Oath. One of the boys was telling me later that when his brother was inducted in Alabama, there was a- tough old sergeant who was having an awful' time keeping the men quiet. “Gen tlemen,” he would beseech them, “Quiet, please!” They were quiet during "the administration of the Oath, after which they burst forth again. The old sergeant, his face beam ing sweetly, purred: “You are now members of the Army of the United States. Now, damn it, SHUT UP.” —Ra— This morning—our first morning in the Recruit Reception Center— began when we finished breakfast and started cleaning up our squad- room. A gray-haired, fatherly old private, who swore that he had been demoted from master sergeant four times, lined us up in front of the barracks and took us to the dis pensary. If tbe line, in front of the mess hall dwindled as rapidly as the one at the dispensary, life would have loveliness to sell above its private con sumption stock. First you’re fifteen feet from the door, then (whiff) you’re inside. Then you’re stand ing between two orderlies and the show is on. The one on my left scratched my arm and applied the smallpox virus. The on]y thing that kept me from keeling over was the hypodermic needle loaded with typhoid germs, which propped up my right arm. From the dispensary we went to a huge warehouse of a building by the railroad tracks. The place looked like Goldenberg’s Basement on a busy day. A score of fitters measured necks, waists, inseams, heads, and feet. My shoe size, the clerk yelled down the line, was ten and a half. . “I beg your pardon,” I prompted, “I wear a size nine." “Forgive me,” he said, a trifle weary, “the expression is ‘I wore a size nine.’ IJhese shoes are to walk in, not to make you look like Cin derella. You say size nine; your foot says ten and a half.” We filed down a long counter, picking up our allotted khaki and denims, barrack bags and raincoats, mess kits and tent halves. Then we were led into a large room, where we laid aside the vestments of civil life and donned our new garments. While I stood there, wondering what I was supposed to do next, an attendant caught me from the rear and strapped to my shoulders what felt like the Old Man of the Mountain after forty days. “Straighten- up, soldier,” the attendant said, “and git off the floor. That’s nothing but a full field pack, such as you will tote many miles before you leave this man’s army. Now I want you to walk over to that ramp and over it. That’s just to see if your shoes are comfortable.” “With these Oregon boots and this burden of misery,” I told him firm ly, “I couldn’t even walk over to the thing. As for climbing over it, not even an alpenstock, a burro train, and two St. Bernard dogs complete with brandy could get me over it.” There was something in his quiet, steady answering glance that re assured me. Lwent over the ramp in short ordet- On the double, I think the Army -alls it. From there we went to the thea ter, where we were given intelligence tests, and to the classifica tion office, where we were interviewed by patient and considerate corporals. “And what did you do in civil life?” my corporal asked me. “I'was feature editor of the Char lotte News.” “And just what sort of work did you do, Private Hargrove? Just give me a brief idea.” Seven minutes later, I had fin ished answering that question. “Let’s just put down here, ‘Edi torial worker.’ ” He sighed compas sionately. “And what did you do before all that?” I told him. I brought in the-pub licity work, the soda-jerking, the theater ushering, and the printer’s deviling. “Private Hargrove,” he said, “the army is just what you have needed to ease the burdens of your exist ence. Look no farther, Private Har grove, you have found a home." —fe— This was a lovely morning. We began at daybreak and devoted all the time until noon to enjoying the beauties of nature. We had a drill sergeant to point them out to us. We marched a full twenty miles without leaving the drill field. Lunch, needless, to say, was deli cious. We fell into bed, after lunch, de termined to spend the afternoon in dreamland. Two minutes later, that infernal whistle blew. Melvin Piel, guardhouse lawyer for Company A, explained it all on the way down stairs. We were going to be as signed to our permanent stations. I fell in and a corporal led us off down the street. I could feel the California palm trees fanning my face. We stopped at Barracks 17 and the corporal led us inside. “Do we go to California, corporal?” I asked. “Naah,” he said. “Where do we go?” I asked him, a little disappointed. “To the garbage rack,” he-said. “Double quick.” He thumbed Johnny Lisk and me to the back of the barracks. At the garbage rack we found three extremely fragrant garbage cans. Outside, we found more. Lisk and I, citizen-soldiers, stared at them. The overcheerful private to whom we were assigned told us, “When you finish 'cleaning, those, I want to be able to see my face in them!” “There’s no accounting for tastes,” Usk whispered. Neverthe less, we cleaned them and polished them and left them spick and span. “Now take ’em outside and paint em,” said the private. “White. Git the black paint and paint ‘HQCO- RRC’ on both sides of all of them!” “This is summer,” I suggested. “Wouldn’t something pastel look better?” The sun was affecting the private. “I think you’re right,” he said. So we painted them cream and lettered them In brilliant orange. AU afternoon, in a blistering sun, we painted garbage cans! The other Charlotte boys waved to us as they passed on their way to the ball park. Happy voices floated to us from the post exchange. The straw-boss private woke up, yawned and went away, telling iis what would happen if we did like wise. He returned soon in a truck. He motioned peremptorily to us and we loaded the cans into the truck. Away we went to headquarers company—and painted more garbage cans. It was definitely suppertime by now. “Now can we go home, Private Dooley, sir?” asked Lisk. I looked at Lisk every time the blindness left me, and I could see the boy was tired. The private sighed wearily. “Git in the truck,” he said. Away we went back to our street. We stopped in front of our barracks and Private Dooley dismounted. “The truck driver,” he said, “would ap preciate it if you boys would go and help him wash the truck.” We sat in the back of the truck and watched the mess haU fade away behind us. Two, three, four miles we left it behind us. We had to wait ten minutes before we could get the wash-pit. It took us fifteen minutes to wash the truck. By the time we got back to the mess hall, we were too tired to eat. But we ate. —fe lt was through no fault of mine that I was a kitchen policeman on my sixth day. The whole barracks got the grind. And it was duty, not punishment. It was all very simple, this KP business. AU you have to do is to get up an hour earlier, serve the food, and keep the mess haU clean. After we served breakfast, I found a very easy job in the' dining haU, where life is much pinker than it is in the kitchen. A quartet was formed and we were singing “Home on the Range.” A corporal passed by just as I hit a sour note. He put the broom into my left hand, the mop into my right . . . There was a citizen-soldier from Kannapolis to help me clean the cooks’ barracks. For a time it was awful. We tried to concentrate on the floor while a news broadcaster almost tore up the radio trying to decide whether we were to be in the Army ten years or twenty. We finished the job in an extreme ly short time to impress the cor poral. This, we found later, is a serious tactical blunder and a discredit to the ethics of gold-brick ing. The sooner you finish a job the sooner you start in on the next. The corporal liked our work, un fortunately. Kannapolis was aUowed to sort garbage and I was promoted to the pot-and-pan polishing section. I was Themos Kokenes’ assistant. He washed and I dried. Later we formed a goldbricking entente. We both washed and made Conrad Wil son dry. Pollyanna the glad girl would have found something silver-lined about the hot sink. So did I. “At least,” I told Kokenes, “this wiU give me back a chance to recover from that mop.” When I said “mop,” the mess ser geant handed me one. He wanted to be able to see his face In the kitchen floor. After lunch he want ed the back porch polished. We left the Reception Center mess hall a better place to eat in, at 9 “When yon finish cleaning those cans, I want to be able to see my face in’them.” any rate.- But KP is like a woman’s work—never reaUy done. Conrad- RUlson marked one caldron and at the end of the day we found that we had washed it twenty-two times. Jack Mulligan helped me up the last ten steps to the squadroom. I finally got to the side of my bunk. “Gentlemen,” I said to the group which gathered around to scoop me off the floor, “I don’t ever want to see another kitchen!” The next morning we were classified and assigned to the Field Artillery Replacement Center. Gene Shumate and I were classified as cooks. I am a semi-skilled cook, they say, although the only egg I ever tried to fry was later used as a tire patch. The other cooks in clude postal clerks, tractor sales men, railroad engineers, riveters, bricklayers, and one blacksmith. But we’ll learn. Ahready I’ve learned to make beds, sweep, mop, wash windows and sew a fine seam.

Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball Brothers Company, made the above statement and went on to explain, “Persons who refuse to take the time and trouble to understand com. defend their canning failures by claiming that it refuses to keep. Ilie truth is, com is more than willing to be canned, but is doomed to '' ge unless right tactics areused, because it has no acid to protect it against the invasion of bacteria. TacticsT 'Why,” says SIissKimbrough, “they can be summed up in one sentence: i. e., learn what is to be done, begin at the right time, keep things moving, and turn on the heat.” Pboto Courtesy BaU Brea. Co. The first thing to be done is to get jars, lids, rubbers, and canner ready. Ir you have no pressure cooker, get along with a water-bath canner. Examine every jar and lid to see that it is in good condition—remember glass top seals and two- piece metal vacuum seal caps won’t work unless the top edges of the jars are perfect. Wash everything clean; cover jars, glass lids and zinc caps with luke-warm water and put on the stove to heat. Cover vacuum seal lids and rubbers with boiling water and leave until needed. When everything is ready,gather the com—bring in no more ian needed for one canner full. Keep in mind that canning too much too late is a common cause of spoilage. Place Uie com on a board and use a strong sharp knife to cut the husks (shucks to you in the Middle West and South) off' at each end just where the com begins and ends. There shouldn’t be any worms if you have followed Victory garden directions, but if there are worms in the tassel end, cut deep enough to leave them with the husks. The husks will come off easily and bring most of the silks with them.Examine every ear of com and use only those having plump, glossy, juice-filled kernels. Remove all silks; rinse the corn and cut it from the cob. One or more cuttings may be made, but scrapings should not be used unless processing can be done in a pressure cooker, because the scrapings make a thick mass that heats through slowly. Cover the corn with boiling water, using about half as much water as com; cook five minutes; then pour immediately into clean, hot jars. A generous amount of water helps the com heat through quickly and aids in preventing its sugar from carmel- izing and causing a brownish color. Add one teaspoon salt to the quart and seal jars according to manufacturer’s directions. Then put into the canr.cr and process.If possible, use pint jars, as they heat through more rapidly — the quicker the jars can be heated through the more certain the destruction of bacteria. Process pints and quarts 70 minutes at 10 pounds pressure or by boiling 3% hours in hot-water bath. Remove the jars from the canner as promptly as possible after processing; finish sealing all jars that require rubber rings; set jars as far apart as possible or. folded newspaper or cloth so they can cool quickly, but be sure they are not where a breeze will strike them.The jars should be examined after twelve hours in order to make sure they are sealed. To do this, remove bands from glass top seals and metal vacuum seal caps (leave Qte bands off when the jars are put away). Test the glass top seals by pulling gently on the lids with the linger tips. Vacuum seals are tested by pressing down on them with the fingers—if sealed, they won’t move tmaer this pressure. “Lightning” .tope are tested by holding upside down and watching for leaks. There won’t be any leaks if instructions are followed and there won’t be any spoilage if you keep in mind that wgilance means Victory. Furthermore, you will never know how good canned com can be until you nave tasted your own home-canned brand. | | P « I I I IMmi(I THROUGH PAYROLL SAVINGS ★ ★ W h a ttIfOM.

It pictures retailers* slogan, “SAT YES.” A drive is underway for Americans to boy additional War Stamps to fill albums and convert them into War Bonds. TXTASHINGTON, D. * » r e ta ilo r s frtu Land posters for sale at! T k e R eew d elifiefc C.—The na tion’s retailers from the tiniest hamlets to the mighty cities are acting as a spearhead in a great Treas ury Department campaign to sell the additional War Savings Stamps needed to fill more than 100,000,000 albums now in the hands of the American people. According to a report released by the Treasury Department today, sales of War Savings Stamps totaled $559,777,000 for the period from May I, 1941, through November, 1942. Stamp sales have risen from less than three million dollars per month when they were first introduced to the public to an average of more than fifty million dollars per month at the present time.The Treasury’s slogan, “A half filled album is like a half-equipped soldier,” has been adopted officially by retailers for the campaign. The importance of the drive is seen in the fact that a War Bond po tential of nearly two billion dollars hangs in the balance. Every War Stamp album, con verted into a People’s Bond, for which the purchaser pays $18.75 and which matures to $25.00 value when held for 10 years, adds its force to the war effort. - The Treasury Department is counting upon Uie country’s school children to play a powerful role in the success of the SAY YES drive. The volume of stamp and bond sales is at Uie rate of $200,000,000 for the current school year. U . S . T reasury D ep a rtm in t U. S.
