A man will go to wreck and ruin, Quite often in great baste, If his indulgence in strong drink To gratify his taste; Or lets bad women lead him off From manhood pure and clean Into the shameful acts of life, Disgraceful, wicked, mean. 'Strong drink is raging,'’ we are told; ’Tis plain before our eyes; And he who is deceived thereby Most surely isn’t wise. He’s mastered by this awful curse. Which wrecks the human soul, And keeps vast multitudes of men From heaven’s glorious goal. A woman given up to sin, Whose character is bad, Will rob a man of atl he’s worth And run him wild and mad. If he will listen to her words And follow as she leads Along the darkened road of vice To depths of vilest deeds. Dewd women and strong drink today Have mastered many, men, Anp led them from life’s greatsst goal, Their lives as slaves to spend; For he who gives himself to sin, And yields to passions vile, Is never master of Himself, But mastered all the while. Give God the place that evil has And He will bless you good, Leading you to heighths sublime And finest of manhood. Yon’ll be a blessing where you go, Wheieas you’re now a curse; You’ll go from good still on to good, Instead of bad to worse. If you would live a noble life You’ve got some things to learn; You’ll have to overcome all sin And for the noble yearn; Then fix your heart on things above Where all is clean and pure. And then go forth like heroes bold Life's battles to endure. Schools Open Sept 2nd Davie county schools will open on Thursday, Sept. 2nd, and will con tinue for a nine months term. The Christmas bolida/s will be reduced from 15 to 10 days. Some of the schools may run six days a week during the winter months, so that the term may end earlier in the spring. ______________ Dayie Has 29 Patients In State Hospital The Morganton State Hospital had 29 patients from Davie county on July 1st. Patients at Morganton now number 2,642 from 46 conn- ties in the western half of the state. Nationwide Molly Pitcher Tag Day Washington, D. C.—On August 4th, Molly Pitcher is stepping out of the pages of American history to sell War Bonds and Stamps. The gal who carried water to thinly soldiers during Uie blistering Revolutionary Battle of Monmouth and took over her hu*‘ band’s cannon when he was wounded, has long been a symbol of the heroism t American women.Al her honor, brigades of modem Molly Pitchers will take their stands' on nation-wide Molly Pitcher Day at street comers, building entrances, and in public places to sell the bands' and stamps that back up our modern fighting men. A red-white-and-blue Mtffly Fitdi*' er Tag win be given to everyone Miiio purchases a bond or .stamp om that aay. Members of the American Legion Auxiliary, and of the Independent Food Distributors Council unit of Molly Pitchers, will aid and augment local Women’s War Savings Stalls to make up fte volunteer sales force. They will use water pitchers to hold their supplies of t—and War Stamps. The slogan on _tags will read “Fill the Pitcher with Bonds and Stamps on Molly Pitcher Day.” and the goal of the sales force wiu be to "tag*7 the total population. Only Sonnd and Fory Ot all the spots in which one would expect no squawk against th- Democratic administration in Washington, South Carolina would be the first to leap to mind. But one has developed In that citadel of partisan loyalty One county, that of Jasper, bad voiced its dissatisjactlou with the Roosevelt regime in the form of a resolution. The party chairman of another county, Newberry, has chimed in with his protest. One of the venerable- leaders of Chester county, R. B. Caldwell, joins with the newly born and strangelv-souging anvil chorus from our sister-State, and many of the newspapers are outspoken in their disconteut. Dr. John T. Dominick, of Pros perity, S. C., writes The Observer that “if the Democrats could prom, ptlv get convincing information a- cross to President Roosevelt that there is absolutely no chance for him to get the Democratic nomina lion for a fourth term they would render a valuable service to the Democratic party and a far greater service to our country—for then, and in that event, the President could (if he would') put politics a- side and henceforth act the part of of a statesman.” These notes of discord in South Carolina on the part of independent Democrats are rising in other states of the South. In Georgia the protests have gone so far as to induce some ofyl-ltne loyalists to lend encouragement to the Republicans in that State to organize and strip for action. Plenty of the same mood exists in North Carolina and unquestion. «bly at an increasing temdo. But when it comes to practical effect, this anti-Roosevelt wave or ripple, perhaps it is at the moment, will simmer out if it follows pre cedent and the New Deal leader ship expects nothing else to come of it. It will merely shrug its should ers and reply that the South is al ways "in the bag” for the party and have the records of history to prove it. The Charleston News and Cour ier clearly fears, from its comment on the phenomenon in that State, that the uprising will amount to '‘sound and fury, signifying noth ing” because of the power of the office holding oligarchy, composed, according to that newspaper, of 59,000 of civilians who are drawing a living from the Federal govern, ment and 37,000 from State and local governments. And these, in its opinion, are organized for unified action in con tinued support of the New Deal while the citizens in the mass who are tired of Roosevelt are detached, disintegrated and powerless to match strength with the "ins.” A similiar situation, of course, prevails in other Southern states, including North Carolina. Where is to be found in any of them a leadership of independence that wiil move to bolt the party and organize the people against the powers-that.be? W^ere is the party Mr. Bie In North Carolina who would dare such Ies majeste?—Charlotte Ob server. * ' Of Little Concern In Washington, “New Deal Plan ners” have admitted that 10,000 bushels of government owned wheat is rotting, in Nebraska bins because of “a little negligence on our part.' That enough wheat to make 760.000 loaves of bread. General Hershey lists as non essen tial fortune - tellers, astrologers clairvoyants, mind-readers, and pal* m iB ts. Looks like a great exodus from OPA and OWI to the Army. Snpport of Congress As breakdown follows breakdown in the home-front war machine, the New Deal politicos are seeking a “goat.” Andevidencecontinues to pile up that an attempt will be made to blame the failure of OPA, the foodstuffs program—in short, all mistakes which have hampered the war effort—on Congress. There is visibly an effort to con vince the American people that each time it rises above the old “rubber stamp” role, it is interfering with the conduct of the war. When Congress legislates on la bor policy, the White House de. dares it mnst be held responsible for future strikes in industry When Congress turns “thumbs down” on the subsidy program, with which the New Deal hopes to again buy control over agriculture, the White House tars it with the inflation brush. When Congress wields the econo my axe on non.war bureaus and on over-padded Federal agencies such as the OWI, the charge of playing politics and aiding and comforting the enemy is hurled Nearly everything Congress does to hold rnn a - way bureaucracy within bounds, the New Deal ad ministration brands as disloyal. In spite of the smearing, Con gress trys to do the job assigned to it by the framers of the Constitu tion, and if the effort to “get” the legislative body succeeds, then re. presentative government will die In America just as it died in Germany when the Rlichtag was dissolved. If Congress is again forced ‘back into the role of a rubber stamp, the people will lose their voice in Government. It is of the utmost importance that Senators and Representatives return to Washington after their scheduled recess, with the know ledge that thejr have the confidence of their constituents. With such confidence the independence of our legislative branch is issued. State’s Highways Prais ed In GreyhoundAds The current advertisement of the Greyhound Lines—one in a series which is featuring the various in stitutions and wartime activities of our State—gives some pertinent and interesting facts aoout our high ways “We think that many citizens take our extensive highway sys' tem for granted—without ever stop ping to realize how lost they’d be without it” said Mr. H. P'erce Brawner, Traffic Manager of the Atlantic Greyhound Lines, in dis. cussing this particular advestise- ment. Every resident of this State should know more about the high ways, how they’re built, paid for, maintained and other vital facts— and should give proper credit to the various boards and commissions responsible for their construction and use.” Mr. Brawner reports that the newspapers of the State are next In line for discussion in this series. The Record only $1.00. V. 9. Tmmu* DtpuuuM War Waste Exposed Washington—Congress’ one man war industries investigating com mittee, Representative Albert J. Engel CR , Mich.) asserted today that war weapons are costing the American public too much because of excessively high wages to un skilled workers—farm boys “who were hauling manure last fall” and 5 and- lo-cent store clerks who have gone Into war work. Reporting on a 44-day inspection tour of 47 war plants, Engeli said this “pay-roll extravagance” was attributable to the administration’s “policy of measuring the progress in war production by sums ex pended.” “This, he said, “not only dis courages economy but actually en courages waste. It is this fact, I I believe, more than any other that is responsible for the tremendous costs In our war program. We should measure the progress by tell ing the public frankly bow many guns, and how much of various types we are making. Fear of having the enemy know these facts is no longer a reason for not doing so.” Engel made bis whirlwind in spection as an emissary of the house appropriations subcommittee hand ling army expenditures. He said he undertook the invest! gation with a determination to learn just why a medium tank •which weighs 30 tons costs $90,000, why a 105-mm gun on two wheels costs $21,000 and 83,000 on a self, propelling mount and why a Spring field rifle was costing us $60 each when a commercial rifle costs much less.” G. 0. P. Head Sees Signs Of Victory Washington—Chairman Harrison E. Spangler of the Republican Na tional Committee said that analyses of recent election returns and pub lic opinion surveys provide ade quate basis for belief in a Republi- can victory in 1944 He said that the analysis are most conservative and that spot test of public opinion “indicate a larger gain than those shown by the Gallup surveys.” “Within the last six weeks/’ he said, “the revolt against the new deal and Mr. Roosevelt has become pronounced. During this time the confusion and incompetence in the administrative branch of the gov ernment has become more glaring. Iy apparent. Bitter qua.rels and violent differences of opinion amoog the new deal higher.ups indicate an almost entire lack of White House leadership and administra tion in Washington.” In arriving at its conclusions, the G. O. P. dealt exclusively with 38 Northern states, but said that “some of the Southern states pre sent a fertile field for Republicsn gains.” The 38 Northern states have 416 of the 531 electoral votes. He said that local elections show a continuation and broadening of the trend against the Democrats and that several private surveys indi cate, when analyzed, “that the trend against the new deal and Candidate Roosevelt is still on.” Concerning the latest Gallup sirvey, Spangler said that while “not always accurate” its errors have been “largely on the side of the new deal.” Secret’s Out! OWI and OPA have issued mimeo graphed instructions on how to learn the price of stockings. Look at the price tag, they advise.

The Horse-Mnle Popu lation According to Commissioner of Agriculture W Kerr Scott, the number of horses has decreased from 136,000 to 80,000 since 1925, while the number of mules has jumped from 285.000 to 298,000. Although North Carolina, with 278,276 farms, ranks third in the tion in this column, in 1940 it stood In thirty-fourth place with horses and fifth in the number of mules. It is quite understandable why old jar head is in the ascendancy. Lifeexpectancy for old “Kate” is longer by three years than that of the horse. And what is more, much harder work can be wangled out of the mule, and with little or no temptation to ease up on it, as in the case of the horse, in order to serve other than agricultural pur poses. The coming of the “horseless car riage” didn’t spell the doom of the horse population, but it put a big dent in it. We still have horse- lovers, but a lot of them cling to them as “mounts.” And where a brace of draft animals are still re garded as a necessity on the farm, to function when the tractor breaks down and to the odd jobs the tractor can’t do, the farmer turns first to his old friend the mule. We reckon that's why mules have increased in number by thirteen thousand while horses have de creased by fifty six thousand. Commissioner Scott figures that this State needs right now for re* placement of old worn-out stock, 5,333 additional horses and ct least 16,555 mules. He reminds ‘‘If we are to continue to grow feed for meat production and food for our soldiers and for civilian consump tion, it is imperative that we pro duce horses and mules with which to cultivate our crops. We should not gamble on a release of machin ery within the near future and we must not depend on work stock that has passed the age of useful ness.” Farmers probably will figure that it takes two years to develop a good work horse or mule and that by that time our scientists may have devel oped a method of plowing by radar, but it’s a long risk to take The chances are that for a - long, long time there will be a place for the horse on the farm, and why in the beck should we pay tribute to Mis souri, by going there for our mules? . Farmers probably would find it profitable to take Commissioner Kerr’s advice by planning “right now” to increase the horse-mule population. It would be thrilling to have a frolicsome colt around, even if it did nothing more than to inspire us with its outlook on life and link us to the traditions of the ?past.—Statesville Dailey.

News, has heen In ducted Into the arm y and has completed die first tew days of his training a t cam p. He has given prospective Inductees ad vise to "paint the town red" before getting Into the arm y and once In he tells them that "the first three weeks are the hardest." He has gone through the experience of the arm y physical exam , hhs been fitted with a uniform, been classified as a cook and has had a good taste of K P duty. In fact, he has had so m uch of the latter th at his sergeant I . beginning to despair. So is Private H argrove. He has completed a K P ses sion and returns to his quarters. CHAPTER m I tiptoed into the squadroom so that the sergeant wouldn’t notice thatT was wearing fatigue clothes. His voice rang out to me as I passed his door, and I slunk in guiltily. The sergeant’s face showed that he was hurt. “You were on KP again today, weren’t you, Hargrove?” I lowered my eyes and scuffed my toe against the floor. “Yes, sir.” “Oh, I get so discouraged some times,” the sergeant said. “I try so hard to make something of you and what good does it do? Every time I go through the kitchen I see you in there scrubbing the sink! How many times have you been on KP this week?” “Only three times, sir,” I said, avoiding his eyes. “It was all the corporal’s fault, sir,” I said, looking around to make sure that the corporal wasn’t there to defend himself. “Just because I right-faced a few times when I was supposed to left-face, and I rigged when I- should have zagged, and because I forgot and smoked in ranks —and a few other things like that.” “And,” said the sergeant shaking his head sadly, “you just turned around casualty every time he or dered ‘about-face.’ And you kept watching your feet all through drill. And you stayed out of step all mom- “That’s all, Hargrove,” he said, mapping his brow; “you’re not sup posed to salute a non-commissioned officer—just go to .bed.” ing and you took those plowhand strides of yours and walked all over the man in front of you. And you sassed the drillmaster three times. And you generally spoiled the whole morning’s drill. Why can’t you be a good boy and learn the drills?” “I don’t mean to be bad, sir,” I said. “And that’s another thing,” the sergeant moaned. “Why must you say ‘sir’ to the noncommissioned of ficers and forget to salute the com missioned ones?” He mopped his forehead wearily. “Do you know what the top sergeant told me to day?” “No, sir,” I said, twisting my cap and awaiting the worst “He said—and don’t ‘sir* me—that when tiie battery commander had you on the carpet yesterday you stood there leaning on the table, and you shifted your feet eight times. And you saluted four times during his talk—and when you saluted you gave a European heel-click and bowed. And when the captain dis missed you, you told him, ‘Thank you, sergeant’ and forgot to salute when you left.” “Was there anything else, sir?” I asked in a whisper. “That’s all, Hargrove,” he said, wiping great drops of perspiration from his fbfehead. “Thank you, sir,” I said. I sa luted, clicking.myheels.andturned to go. “Hargrove,” the tired voice said. “You’re not supposed to salute a noncommissioned — Never mind, Hargrove. Just go to bed.” —bs— "Just look at me,” the exercise sergeant roars in a voice that would go four miles against the wind. “Just look! I weigh two hundred and eight pounds and I’m in the worst physi cal condition I’ve ever been in! I ought to be busted for the way I’ve allowed myself to get fat and flab by! I’m ashamed!” You look at the exercise sergeant and wonder what he’s leading up to. To you he looks like the “after taking” part of a malted yeast ad vertisement. He could probably lick his weight in police, dogs. His next statement explains ev erything. “Now Tm going to show you an exercise that’s so simple it’s almost ridiculous. Even I can do it. Now,-1 don’t want to'hear anybody down there admitting he’s in worse shape than I am. If I can do it, you can do it—or else!” He outlines the exercise and you begin wondering how a contortion ist happened to wind up at Fort Bragg. This self-styled “fat and flabby” calisthenics master doesn’t have any knees or elbows. You stand there waiting to hear his spine fall apart under the strain, but he comes up all in one piece. ■ “That’s the way I want you boys to do it,” he says, beaming cheer fully. You begin to feel your face getting gray and you wonder why a bolt of lightning doesn’t come to deliver you from the prospective tor ture. “One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. One. Two—” The first three or four times are the hardest. After that, you gef the swing of it. It’s really tame stuff,- you decide. “The next exercise,” says the ser geant, “is what we call the quar ter, half and full knee bend. It goes like this.” He shows you. When you see it, the comers of your mouth go up in a sneer of derision (unless the corporal is looking). Ho Hum, you say to yourself. Why do they take up time with this play? “Exercise — one, two, three, four—” Quarter, half, full recover. Your knees get That Tired Feeling after the third time. After the sixth time, you feel your eyes getting glassy. After the ninth, you’re floating in space. By the time the ex ercise is over, nothing matters any more. Before you have marched off the drill field you. notice that you still haven’t collapsed. In fact, you find to your disappointment that you’re beginning to feel good. AU lim bered up. Quarantine has been lifted for us of the July 17 contingency. If the sergeant wasn’t looking over my shoulder, I’d say it’s about time. Before our release from isolation, Army style, I was able to get around and swap lies and gripes with ev ery one of the boys in our group. A Uttle under 100 per cent of them came up with the same account, which reads as follows: “Our battery has the worst food in the Army. We’ve got the worst ser geant in the battery. No kidding, though, our platoon makes aU the others look crummy. Here two weeks already and I haven’t puUed KP or had the sergeant jump me a time yet. Don’t teU a soul, but I think they’re going to make me a corporal.” AU of which is a lot of hot air. Actually, they’re fighting to get into the mess haU first at every meal. They’re gaining weight and tanning where they used to bUster. They’re sassing their sergeants, who deplore them as the sorriest bunch of rookies they ever sweated over. Every one of them has been on KP at least once. By the time Congress says I may go home and be a mere civiUan again, I suppose I’U be the best sol dier at Fort Bragg. At least I seem to get more individual attention than anyone else. Private tutoring, I al ways teU the boys. ■ We were at work the other morn ing learning how to handle a rifle. The sergeant was putting us through our paces. “Hargrove,” he said with infinite sweetness, “where is the balance of your rifle?” “This is an the supply sergeant gave me, sir,”-1 said. ~"I thought it was aU here.” The sergeant slapped his forehead and mumbled something furiously under his breath. “Wonder-child,” he said, “this (pointing) is the bal ance of your rifle. I can’t imagine why they caU it that, unless it’s be cause when you hold Ihe rifle there with one hand, it’s balanced.” He then went on for a-few minutes, ex plaining a few of the things I had StiU failed to' master. “Now do you understand it?” he asked, beaming at me with a look made of aU sweet accord. "No, sir,” I said. The sergeant sighed wearily. “Private Hargrove,”, he said, "right down by the next barracks there’s a group of young people who are prac ticing with rifles for the first time. They haven’t had theirs for three days like you have. Run along down there and see if you can keep up with them.” I tried. There was some confu sion about the orders, however. At the end of a movement where I wound up with my rifle on my left shoulder, the rest of the detaU had theirs on the right. I noticed also that I usuaUy finished a command long before Uie others. The sergeant in charge of the de- tafl commented on this, “You know, Shorty,” he said, "you have aU of these routines worked out much bet ter than the War Department was able to do them. . Where it took them sixteen counts to complete the sixteen-count manual, you always manage somehow to complete it in twelve.” I was stiU blushing modestly when he caUed the corporal over. He said something to the corporal, who took me by the elbow and guided me gently around the building at a spot where, he said, the battery offi cers wouldn’t see me drilling and thereby be discouraged. “This,” he said, pronouncing each syUable slowly and distinctly, “is what we have come to caU a rifle. W.N.U. AC a. V I C R R-i-f-l-e. It is used for the purpose of shooting. Primitive man, we are told, did not have a rifle. Primitive man was forced to bring down his supper with a knife, a spear, a stone, a bow and arrows or his own Uttle primitive hands.” I nodded automatically and paid scant attention to all this. I al ready knew it. ’ “Today,” he continued, “civUiza- tion has been improved upon to the “In the first place you can peel potatoes with a bayonet.” extent that—” ir.d he went on and on. After that we began at the be ginning of the manuel of arms and took each command slowly. The corporal sweated for forty-five minutes. “Are there any questions now, Pri vate Hargrove?” I thought for a whUe. “Yes,'sir,” I said. “That is, ‘yes, corporal.’ What use wUl I have for a rifle? I’m going to be a cook.” The corporal mopped his brow. “WeU, Private Hargrove,” he said, patting me lovingly on the shoul der, “you’ll find use for it. Ha! ha! In the first place, you can peel po tatoes with a bayonet. And in the second place—if you’re as |ood a cook as you are a soldier—you’U need it every day. After breakfast, lunch, and supper you’U need it to protect yourself from murder at the hands of your comrades in arms.” “See here, Private Hargrove,” the sergeant sighed. “Can’t you try just once to do something right? Don’t you want to be a credit to the platoon? You don’t want us to be the worst bunch in the battery after we’ve been the best for so long, do you?” “Please, sergeant,” I begged him, "couldn’t I just stay inside for this once? They’d never miss me at rifle inspection. I’d be very quiet and nobody would ever know.” He ignored the request. “Try hard to remember, private, these few simple things. When the officer reaches the man next to you, open the rifle. When he grabs your gun, don’t hang onto it or you’U have a beUyache for two weeks. When he throws it back to you, don’t catch it with your chin. And when you get it back, snap the trigger. And heav en help you if you baU this thing up!” The forces of Destiny placed me second in the front rank at inspec tion. We stood at attention for three minutes before the inspecting offi cer approached. For seconds after we brought our rifles up for inspec tion, a fly which seemed to be a little larger than a June bug landed on my forehead. The sergeant shot a warning glance across my bow and I decided to humor the fly. It would go away soon, I told myself, al though I knew it wouldn’t. The inspecting officer stiU had not begun his rounds. He was waiting for us to get off our guard. The fly demonstrated its impatience by stepping up to double-quick in its pacing. “Oh, if I only had you alone!” I thought. The itching nose became more insistent. A gnat made a three-point landing on it and began playing about the left nostril. I gave the sergeant a glance which said distinctly, "This can’t go on much longer. Something’s go ing to pop!” His return glance said, in italicized words, “Bat just one eyelash and I’ll break your neck!’' Suddenly the inspecting officer grabbed the rifle from the hand of Grafenstein, who stood beside me. His lightning swoop on the gun, cou pled with the speed with which Graf enstein relinquished it, completely paralyzed me. An almost inaudible groan made me look at the sergeant. He was making furious grimaces at me and his face looked as if he was going to burst a blood vessel. He kept wagging his; eyes down to the bolt of my rifle. A split second be fore the officer reached me, I man aged to pull the bolt. I could see the sergeant unload ing freight carloads of potatoes for me to peel. I could see the next weekend, with me restricted to quar ters while the rest of the platoon en joyed themselves in town.The officer reached me several lifetimes later. He looked at my face and sighed wearily. Then, with infinite tenderness, he gently lifted the rifle from my grasp. He inspect ed it and handed it back to me as though he was laying a brick on an orchid or giving a hundred-pound weight to his aged grandmother. He sighed again and passed on to the next man, whose rifle he grabbed with the confidence that the man wouldn’t fall apart when he snatched it.(TO B B CONTINUED) FIRST-AID AILINGjHOUSE by Rogedfc Tjtoitmon Roger B.

CRACKED BOILERS £T IS not uncommon for a home owner to be startled by the crack ing of a boiler during the idle sea son. With the boiler out of com mission, there seems no reason or excuse for such a calamity. Yet there is a very good reason for it, although the origin may date back to the time when the boiler'was in stalled. A boiler is made up of sections, which during installation are held together by what are called tie-rods; that is, rods passing through to draw the sections tightly together by the setting up of nuts at the ends. The tightening of these tie-rods is necessary during instal lation, but when once the sections are brought together, the tie-rod is no longer needed. The nuts at the ends can then be loosened, or, as a matter of fact, the rods can be withdrawn entirety. If the nuts are left tight, rust will form un der them, and in time may pro duce so much pressure that the sections will give way under it. Un fortunately, there is no way in which the home owner can check up on this condition. He can only hope that the boiler was installed by someone who understood the situa tion and guarded against it by the loosening of the tie-bolt nuts. ... Shellac for Floors Question: Shellac is recommend ed for hardwood floors, with scatter rugs. But from my experience with shellac, I conclude that good spar varnish would be better. What do you think? Answer: When correctly applied, shellac is an excellent finish, and will withstand heavy wear. How ever, it should be applied only to bare wood. If there is any old fin ish left on your floors, it should all be taken off with a heavy floor ma chine. The shellac Used should not be more than six months old, and of top quality; the dealer can as sure you on both these points. Shel lac should not be used as it comes, but be thinned with two- to three parts of good denatured alcohol to every two parts of shellac. Under these conditions you Can get excel lent service.... Scorched Rug Question: In. taking a kerosene stain from an old Persian rug it was covered with brown paper and ironed, But the iron was too hot and the rug was scorched. What will remove the mark? Answer: The scorch mark is ac tual damage to the tips of the fibers of the rug. One way to take out the mark is to rub gently with m» dium to coarse emery (doth.... Wood Shingles Question: In laying wood shingles I am told that there should be spaces between the roof boards. Is this so? Ansiyer: No; it is not. Spaces are supposed to be for ventilation, but that seems to be unnecessary. If it were, roof insulation would not be possible. For instructions on laying wood shingles write the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, Chicago. Paint Thinner Question: I have used clear gaso line in place of turpentine for thin ning house paint. It seems to work, but evaporates quickly. Could I use leaded gasoline for the purpose? Answer: Gasoline is not recom mended, for it evaporates complete ly. Turpentine, on the other hand, goes into combination with-the paint, and the results are longer lastingV V V Outdoor GriU Question: We want to build an out door fireplace for cooking. Where can we get plans? Answer: There have been a num ber of articles on, griU design in the magazines Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. You can IooV them up at a public library....

Who's News This Week By DeIos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. XTEW YORK. — Hitler himself must doubt the persuasions of Nordic kultur on noting that Poznan provides the new Polish premier to _ „ . replace thePolish Premier a dead sikor_ Native of Kaltur- ski. Poznan Infested Poznan is tte. m°s* western province of Poland. Germany half embraces it, and from it for a hun dred years Germans have tried to squeeze all Polish flavor. Once the squeeze got so tight that even the Poznan school children went out on strike. Stanislaw Mikolajczyk was five then, and might have led a kinder garten sit-down, but he was all the ■way across Germany in Westphalia. His father, a farm laborer, was try ing his luck there. Luck was poor and when Stanislaw was ten and the first World war only three years away the family trekked back to their old home. When Stanislaw was 16 he stood in the thick of the waxing revolution against Poznan’s weakening Prussian rulers. The Polish Republic followed and he rose to leadership of the Peasant party and to a seat in parlia ment. He is himself a true peas ant, off a 50-acre farm, stocky and thick-necked. His half-inch of bristling moustache is only a minor concession to urban inJ9u- . ence. When the Nazis struck he enlisted as a private, the rank he held in the war against the Refls 19 years earlier.. After Warsaw he was in terned in Hungary but made his escape. In the years since, first under Paderewski, then Sikorski, his main assignment has been to run the Po lish underground, and his name has become a household word to patri ots inside his oppressed country. His blacklist of Nazi criminals is the longest in Europe. This, also, must be of depressing interest tc Hitler, TT IS a long time since President * Roosevelt got salt fish three times running. The housekeeper called in by the much-traveling first lady now This Lady Is the ^ “Yunchfon Boss of Domestic menus if the EndotNewD eal £ ae“ £ riety. Now there has been added the confusion of ration coupons, but Mrs. Henrietta Nesbit, placid, bespecta cled, middle-aged, sorts these re sourcefully and to date has not been made either red or blue by the new responsibility. The fact that her husband is White House custodian of supplies may help. It is 14 years since Mrs. Nes-, bit signed up to see that when the master gazed around “with the prophetic eye of appetite,” there should be victuals to suit both his scrambled eggs and truffles moods. That was in his first governorship. Mrs. Nesbit, Duluth - born, with casually fluffed hair, had a catering busi ness in Hyde Park previous to this, and Mrs. Roosevelt was sure that the author of such whole wheat bread was the needed woman. Nowadays, bossing a staff that jumps to 124 for a state dinner, Mrs. Nesbit never consults her mis tress, - even when her mistress is near enough to be consulted. She will even put on evening dress and drift gently among the ambassadors to make sure every tidbit is as it should be. She doesn’t live in the White House and her usual shift runs from eight to six. She doesn’t, however, mind working overtime in the kitchen she and Mrs. Roosevelt modernized from knife rack to -dnge. fT lHE Federation of Musicians lays its fight against radio music transcriptions on the doorstep of La bor Secretary Perkins but it still J. PetriUo Makes ^ fin ^ h a t Lewis Look Like President ShortOrderCook ^ P e S f o has carried on one of the longest strikes since Pearl Harbor in a war- occupied cotmtry whose labor lead ers have promised, “Ne strikes.” He has dished it out for more than 11 months. Petrillo has been boss of the Federation and its nearly 140,000 members for three years. He is president, too, of the Chicago lo cal and between 1922 and now he jumped the membership of that from 4,000 to 11,000, all well paid. He can call a strike any time he wishes, fine a member up to $5,000 and suspend the union constitution at will. For discharging these and other responsibilities he is paid by both groups $46,000 plus expenses. At eight, Petrillo was a trumpet player, at 14 he had his own band, then switched to drums, ran a cigar store for a while and was an active union member at 22. He is so out of practice now he could hardly get a toot out of any trumpet. Fiffy years old, short, stocky, as confi dent as Napoleon, he gets along well with the AFL. Sicilian Invaders ‘Pass the Ammunition’ — Allied forces, in one of the greatest combined land, sea and air mili tary operations of all time, swarmed over 100 miles of southeastern Sicilian coasts commencing the long-awaited European invasion. Men in sound- photo above are passing ammunition to attacking forces which rapidly pushed far inland. More than 2.000 Allied ships transported troops and helped pound the enemy. Despite the tremendous size of the attacking forces, most units were reported to have arrived at their objectives exactly on time. Machine Recruits for the Armv Tanks, jeeps and other types of military motor conveyances are shown lined up as far as the eye can see in the war department’s Rich mond, Calif., tank depot. War equipment is assembled at the Ford Motor company’s Richmond plant to which it is sent from eastern plants by rail for a final check before being sent into battle. To the Rear During the first five days of the invasion of Sicily, 1,200 prisoners were captured by Allied troops.- This soondphoto shows a few of them being guided through mine fields to await embarkation from the battle zonp. ToAid U.S. By VIRGINIA VALE R eleased by W estern New spaper Union. N orm an p o w e ll, son of Dick Powell and Joan Blon- dell, is the proudest little boy in Hollywood. He’s wearing ser geant’s stripes and a decora tion. Dick was telling about it on the set of “Riding High,” in which he’s working with Doro thy Lamour and Victor Moore. Seems Sergeant Elmer Taylor, stationed at Honolulu, who’s been a fan of Norman’s parents for years, sent the youngster a small set of stripes and a replica of the Purple Heart which the sergeant Joan Crawford has had such an interesting career, carved out by her own ambition and energy as well as her talent, that we can look for her to take another big step forward now that she has changed studios. Somebody said that Bette Davis Chasing the Japs From the Sea With Old Glory flying from her ice-coated conning tower, a V. S. submarine enters an Arctic port after a successful campaign against the enemy in the Pacific. The Jap flags on her side indicate that she sent three enemy warships and two merchantmen to the bottom.

Henri Hoppenot, who has been ap pointed to succeed Admiral Georges Robert as high commissioner for the Antilles. This change was expected to put the facilities and resources of this area, including the island of Martinique, on the side of the Allies. Two French cruisers and six tank ers which had been demobilized at Martinique may be refitted for Al lied use. JOAN CRAWFORD would have to look to her laurels, with Joan right on the ground, and as willing as Bette is to play un sympathetic parts if they’re good ones. Just give Joan a couple of good pictures and she’ll have the box ] office eating out of her hand, as she ' did in her palmiest days. %— Danny Kaye, who will make his film debut in Samuel Goldwyn’s “Up in Arms,” has accepted an invita tion from the Entertainment Nation al Services Assn., Inc., to make a two-month tour of recreational centers in the British Isles and Africa. Sets New Record Gundcr nagg, Swedish runner, is shown as he broke the tape to set a new official record of 8 minutes and 53.9 seconds for the two mile event in the Los Angeles coliseum. He failed to beat his own unofficial time of 8 minutes and 47.8 seconds. G’By Mom With five of her seven sons al ready in the armed forces, Mrs. Joseph MacKay of Jamaica Plain. Mass., bids farewell to her sixth son, Robert, 18, as he leaves its army service. Assignments for Snsan Hayward are stacking up these days. She’s booked to play Loretta Young’s younger sister when Paramount makes "And Now Tomorrow,” a nice role, and Samuel Bronston has arranged to borrow her to play the wife of Jack London in the film based on' London’s life, which he’ll make for United Artists release. ’Michael O’Shea will play Jack Lon don. Soimds incredible, but we’re told that Bob Hope’s nose, thanks to his wise cracks, has become so famous in England that a promontory near Torquay has been named “Hope’s Nose”—that the comedian received the news while he was still at work on “Let’s Face It.” George Reeves’ nose is sort of famous, too; it’s been broken seven times. He’s the young man who was snatched out of Westerns to play opposite Claudette Colbert in “So Proudly We Hail!” As for the nose —he was a boxer when he went to Pomona Junior college—won the Golden Gloves heavyweight cham pionship of the city for three years— and his nose was broken seven times. A perfect piece,.of . casting took place recently when Ralph Willever was given the role of a sailor in NBC’s “Just Plain Bill.” That was his first job after he was rescued from a torpedoed troopship off Ice land, and was honorably discharged as a result of disability. Lionel Barrymore has inherited a distinction that formerly belonged to Joan Crawford ; wben she left MGM recently, she’d had a continuous contract longer than any other player. Barrymore is starting his 18th year with the studio. His next picture, “Three Men In White,” will be his 63rd for Metro.— *— Years ago, when Rita ^Hayworth was still a stock player, she report ed for work one mornin'g to Seymour Felix to dance as one of 40 girls. "This morning,” sSJcf He,- “I want you to think, act and dance like Marilyn Miller.” The other day i she arrived for work in “Cover Girl” J and heard him giving orders to 40 girls.

Florida Smart, Practical Swim Suits Of Sea-Worthy Rayon Weaves By CHERIE NICHOLAS r.S DON’T be surprised to see swim suits a long way from the water this summer. This year is double duty year, and bathing suits are no exception to the patriotic rule that worth-while clothes are those that fill more,than one useful role in the duration wardrobe. Smart little amphibian costumes in fine rayon fabrics, as luxurious as those used in your best dress-up frocks, are styled to act as playsuits as well this season. They’re sunsuits, too, and you’ll bask on your apartment house roof or in your own backyard in Uie same attractive suit that you wear to dive through tije surf or dabble happily in the rediscovered old swimmin’ hole. Like all active clothes this year, the swim-and-play suits are pretty. Lovely sea-worthy rayon fabrics such as shantungs, jersies, sharkskins, taffetas, flat crepes, bengalines and failles are cut on slim, gracefully simple lines with emphasis on fab ric, color and gay patterning. Brightly plaided rayon taffetas, checked rayon crepes, solid-color rayon failles with self-color satin designs, and exotically printed rayon jersies are all favored choices that need little in the way of added trimming for effective styling. Fashion plays no favorites between one and two-piecers this season. One-piece suits appear in both slim fitted maillot versions and in soft dressmaker types. The maillots, beloved of energetic swim enthusiasts, are generally knitted in nubby rayon or soft rayon chenille or maybe smoothly molded in fine rayon jersey. This season’s maillot usually has at least a half-skirt across the front and may have a brief all-round overskirt for grace. Well cut bra- front bodices and shoulder straps that tie or button adjustably in the back contribute to nice lines and comfortable fit.Outstanding in dressmaker tailored one-piece styles are the princess silhouette and the empire line.Referring to the illustration herewith, crisp and fresh as a sea breeze is the perky two-piece bathing suit to the left above, which uses snowy rayon sharkskin for its brief flared ,skirt and smoothly fitted bra-top.Grecian drapery is used for grace and figure flattery in the soft one- piece swim-and-play suit of vividly printed fine rayon jersey shown to the right. Molded bow-knot draping swathes the bra-top bodice and waistline above the brief gored skirt.There’s glamour for beach and play wear in a charming princess bathing suit as shown centered above. Here is a type which is as nice for matrons as for misses. Here fine bright red rayon faille with self- colored satin dot is' styled with smoothly draped bodice and adjustable shoulder straps which Iace through the sides and tie comfortably at the base of the modified back decolletage.For the gay bare-midriff bathing suit worn by the figure seated in the foreground, luscious rayon taffeta is boldly plaided and styled with an interestingly cut halter top caught with a tiny self-fabric bow at the center front.

You find such thrilling accessory threesomes in the shops as the laced up the front sleeveless form-fitting basque made of bright felt, green, red and other colors. Lovely is a “set” that includes a basque done in French blue felt appliqued with gay felt flowers and embroidery. There is a little pillbox to set on the back of the head which is matched to a drawstring bag. Cunning to wear with the blouse and skirt costumes "all the girls are wearing” this summer. Cap, mitts and little scarf of crocheted white wool with bright embroidered motifs and edged with red is another schoolgirl’s delight in prospect for fall. Unique Scarf Something new and novel is the signature scarf which one finds in the neckwear departments. It goes without saying that it will make direct appeal to college girls and juniors who are looking for thrills along fashion’s highway. Ttyese scarfs are of colorful washable silk. They have the insignia of the three commands, the four armies, I? corps, and 74 divisions. Plastic Buttons Buttons for "looks” and buttons for practical use are very much in the fashion picture these days. There is a series of plastic buttons that are decidedly new. They look like amber and work in beautifully with the popular browns. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY IcHooL Lesson B y HASOLD U IAJlWQVlSTt D. D.Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by W estern Newspaper Union.) Lesson for August 8 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used tv permission. GOD SHOWS HIS PEOPLE THE WAX LESSON TEXT—Exodus 13:17-22; 15-17 22a. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord is m y strength and song, and be Is becom e m y salvation.— Exodus 15:2. The destinies of the nations are in the hands of God. Warriors are mighty in battle, counselors are quick to declare their wisdom, and diplomats are clever in the manipulation of wealth and people. But when they have all exercised to the limit their ingenuity and power they have only succeeded in bringing us “blood, sweat and tears” as the portion of all mankind. Israel was about to be delivered from the bondage of Egypt, and God through His leader Moses was ready to be their guide. Even so He guides every believer in Christ. We may learn three things from this lesson. I. God Has a Plan (Exod. 13: 17-19).There was a direct, easy road along the coast of the Mediterranean up to Canaan, but God with His pillar of cloud and fire did not lead out in that way.How strange that He should take them by a longer, more difficult way! Not at all. He knew the danger of the easy way. It was there Siat the warlike Philistines would be lying in ambush. Such immediate conflict would discourage Israel and tempt them to return to the fleshpots of Egypt. So He took them the other way. Note that God’s guidance for them was one of intelligent planning, not just impulse or chance. He knew what to do, and He did it, for their good.God has a plan, not only for the nations, but also for individuals, for your life and mine. Let us find His will for us, for it is good, acceptable and perfect (Rom. 12:1. 2).Note the honoring of the faith of Joseph in God’s promise (v. 19). The memory of his assurance was a blessing to his descendants, and they honored it and him. What will our descendants have to say about our faith in God?n. God Provides Guidance (Exod. 13:20-22).God’s plan is made known to His people as they follow Him step by step. This means that there must be guidance, moment by moment, if His plan is to be worked out. He gives such guidance and it is only when His children fail to follow it that the pattern of life becomes confused. The field of divine guidance is one in which Christians have widely divergent experiences. Some know the sweet, unconfused daily experience of God’s hand upon ,them, caring for even the minor details (or are they minor?) of life. Others have known the directive power of God in some life crisis, but not in the ordinary affairs of life. Many, and perhaps most, think of divine guidance as a spiritual theory of which the preacher talks, but know nothing of it in their own lives. What makes this great difference? Faith—or the lack of it. Those who trust God accept and receive His blessed leadership moment by moment. It is as simple as that. Others reach out and take it when the pressure of life/ makes them cast themselves on God. Others simply muddle along “doing their bfest,” which is not their best, for God is not in it. The pillar of cloud, which became luminous at night, was ideal for the guidance of Israel. It provided shade by day from the hot sun, and a sure guide in the darkness of the night. III. God Gives Joyous Victory (Exod. 15:17-22a). Israel soon came against the insurmountable barrier (humanly speaking) of the Red sea. Then Pharaoh, regretting that he had released them, came up after them— an impossible situation, and the people began to berate Moses. This time he stood fast in his faith and said: “Stand still and see the salvation of Jehovah”—and it camel Then followed the song of victorious joy; which Moses wrote and the people sang. Deliverance brings joy,- and forget it not, God is able to deliver those who put their trust in Him. The application to our spiritual lives is a blessed one. Setting out on God’s way does not mean that one will not have trials. They come, and quickly. We do not get farther than our Red sea when the world sees an opportunity to draw us back and comes charging at us from the rear, like Pharaoh. What to do? Trust God, and He will drown the Pharaoh who pursues you in the very Red sea which is now your difficulty. He will bring you through dryshod if you count on Him. Fearful, fretting, fussing Christian, why not “stand still” and- let God work out your salvation. You cannot bear the burdens of all the world. He can, and will set you free so that you too may go forward for Him. .......

Lynn Says: Point Wisdom: If you’re parting with more red stamps a month than you should, check up on yourself.Don’t buy meat and neglect other red stamp foods. Space out the stamps just as carefully as you figure out the financial end of things.Study point values and learn to understand how the system works instead of having the busy butcher explain it to you every time you buy.Family likes and dislikes are out of place in a wartime budget.

Hiddenite. N. C. Man’s greatest strength is not In muscle and sinew. We know it is good to be physically strong, but it is far hetter to be morally and spiritually strong. Man’s greatest strength, then, is moral and spirit ual. A nation’s greatest and most powerful strength is also moral and spiritual. Whatever cantributes towards man’s weakness morally and spiri tually is never to be commended. It should always be discouraged. Habits of whatever nature they may be that are weaking to the morals and spirituality of a man should be avoided. No one can afford to form a habit that weak ens him in his manhood. It is likely to weaken him in body like wise, and shorten his days. We have seen men who are strong in body, but weak in soul. Some ungodly habit bad gripped them; some evil had entered into the in ner life. And as the years went by the moral weakness brought on physical weakness, and as a conse quence life was shortened. Useful ness was cast aside, while useless ness was accented into the life. Sttsh is deplorable. Why let evil rob one of morality and spiritual ity. destroy the usefulness of life, with precious and priceless oppor tunities thrown away, and eke out a mere existance with nothing good great nor worth while accomplish ed? This should be beneath every man. Again we have seen men who were weak physically but strong morally and spiritually. They re vealed the fact that they were god ly, upright, noble men. They were total abstainers from all intoxicants; were overcomers of eyils of all kinds, and were strong for God and right. They went along life’s pathway to noble heights. They wielded a good and great influence for the uplift and sajvation of man kind. Their strength was in the inner man God blessed them and made them a blessing. They made their mark and left it behind to live after them to bless the world, while the moral and spiritual weak ling left his influence behind him to curse the world. How the world today needs men of great moral and spirithal strength Herein is where nations are strong; or for the lack of this the nations are weak and crumble to pieces. God give ns men of great moral and spiritual strength to lead us.

A Tittmitt Dtutmtmt Flirting: With The Voters You could tell another general election is In the offing, even in the absence of a political calendar. The politicos are casting tempting lnres at the feet of ever poledtial group of voters, and from now there will be more and more of that. Congress has not overlooked the farm vote and candidates are get ting set up to tell all and sundry how “we kill a bear,’’ bearing down on his part in the program. The White House is coddling labor and continues to hope that in the main the workers will be content with their lot. And every now and then some political ambitions soul starts up a flirtation with the Negro voter. Tbe other day Wendell WiIlkie paused to urged political and eco nomic equality for the Negroes He says the two most pressing pro. blems of the Negro today are in. adequate housing and lack of poli tical status. Maybe be is right, but by this time the Negro should should consider it significant and meaningful that political Interest in him bobs up profoundly as elec tions approach and then fades promptly after the votes are count ed. But if the Negro is muscled aside at the polls in some sectors, it can not be said that that shuts him off entirely. Anyone who observes the goings on in Washington must conclude that the colored brother is doing right well by himself, thank you. The records are full of evid ence of the Negro’s power in na tional politics And frequently the power is made to be felt back in the States, as North Carolinians have abundant reason to know. But there is one class that is bad ly neglect d. The unorganized tand-and filer who doesn’t seemim. portant eoough for any politician to take up the cudgels in his defense, not even on the eve of a national election.—Statesville Daily. Columbus Farmers Wear Snowshoes in The Fields Did you ever hear of snowshoes in July? Then ask residents of Tatums townships in Columbus county and they’ll be able to offer some reveal- ingjfacts about it. Except the “snow- shoes’’ are boards about two-feet long and about eight inches wide, and the “snow” is nothing more than plain old Columbus county mud. Tatum farmers were faced with ruin if they could not get their rapidly ripening tobacco out of the field. Threatened with this impending disaster, ingeunity came to the res cue. Tatums farmers, realizing that copper could not stand up in the to- the tobacco field-made miry bv the almost daily downpoura of mid' um- mer rain, devised a meanB of getting tby tobacco out. They got together and took a hint from our cousins up in lapland—who use snowshoes to keep from bogging down in tbe soft, powdery snow. By fastening small boards about the size of an ordinary shingle to their feet the farmers and their workers were able to stand up in the fields ordi- narly too boggy for such work. “I’ll admit it slows up your work considerably, and you can’t get a- round as fast as you ordinarily could, but it’s better than letting your to bacco dry up in the field,” laconically observed one Tatums township farm er who employed the “snowshoes" in in his field.____ SOMEBODY WANTS to know whether there is any. significance in the fact that in the rationing pro gram applesauce was graded at 14 points, bologna at seven points, and brains at three points.

In sinking times salvation comes to be the most important subject of which we can think The time is ripe for a great turn, ing to God. There is more suffer- ering in the world than we have ever known. Children are starv. ing, old people are underfed, great populations are trembling on the borderland of anarchy. This is surelv sinking time in the exper. fence of tbe world. “Beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.” Thiswasaprofoundly gen uine prayer, desperately earnest, poignantly real and strikingly brief. When we find ourselves in a sink ing condition short prayers are in order. After all it is not length but sjtrength that is called for in our petitions. Psalm 107:27, 28, carries a great truth, couched in expressive words: “They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble and he bringeth them out of their distresses.” What a Mork of grace! The blessing comes when a man is confused tand per plexed It illustrates the truth whtch has become familiar to us all that mau’s extremity is God’s op. portunity. Sinking times are pray ing times. It Does Make A Differ ence (Charlotte Observer) There *s a man in our town — there may be scores like him here —who a year ago was paying but little attention to bis civilian re responsibilities. To him the war was intangible, remote and abstract tragedy. He was buying his gasoline on the basis of a C crrd. He was ignoring his opportunity to buy war bonds. He was grous ing and griping at every restraint and restriction laid upon him by the government in the national in terest and for the ends of victory. In a word, he was not interested, as millions of others like him then, and who remain that way, were not now interested in doing their per. sonal part. But some months ago, unexpect- ly, the army took- bis boy out of college and put him in uniform and Io tbe miracle of transformation in that man. He has now put his car away and walks to and from hts work He is buying more than his proportion of war bonds and much of his time be spends in heaping bis angry ac cusations and calumnies against others who are doing nothing to to help along for victory. It does make a difference whose life it is that may be saved bv di ligent and faithful performance of every responsible service to the war effort on the home front. At IeaBt the little business man can’t say the New Deal has forgot ten him. He gets cuffed almost every day.

One of the most interesting stories to come out of Raleigh lately was the one a few days ago saying that rebellion in the Democratic ranks growing largely out of the Roose velt race and iabor policies can swing North Carolina into the Re publican column in 1944. Stories are being carried to Raleigh along this ling by Democratic party leaders who for various reasons are not willing to let their names be published with with their beliefs. The state is undergoing sundry surveys, designed primarly to as certain the public’s position on a fourth term. Most of the surveyors have been in the state representing Republican or anti-Roosevelt papers, but tbey are in no position to pro mote tbe discord by race appeal. President Roosevelt still baa some thing to offset his race liberalism and should he and Mrs. Roosevelt race for tbe presidency be would beat her. But both Roosevelts make oldtime Democrats rage. Opposition to President Roosevelt on account of the friendships he has made with negroes everywhere, is less intense in North Carolina than it is in South Carolina, Georgia. Ala bama. Mississippi,' Georgia. Alaba ma, Mississippi, Louisiana and Ark ansas, and probably Texas. And that opposition is strangely bifurcated. In South Carolina, for instance. Gov. Olin D. Johnston has been a Roose velt leader and an advocate of the New Deal, but recently the South Carolina chief has instructed bis of ficers to expel from the state any body who comes from without ad vocating social equality. On tbe race issue tbe governor is probably kindlier than Cotton Eld Smith, but just as orthodox from the race stand point. Bot these pronouncements against social intermingling jus as often re late to ecoeomics. When Gov. Broughton in Wilmington nearly two weeks ago attacked radical outsiders tie had much more in mind than the CIO and other labor agitators than the radical negroes and whites who are proposing the elimination of race barriers. When the North Caroiina governor spoke against “mongrels” be was talking about people who ad vocate amalgamation. But that was the merest incident in his speech. He was denouncing the methods of those outsiders who have been play ing race againBt race. But those North Carolinians wbt hate the President for bis general political economy, and those others who dislike completely his popularity among tbe negroes, are making a pretty formidable adjunct to the Republican party if the insurgency is carried to completeness. It al ways has been tbe belief of regular Democrats that they could have car. ried the state for Al Smith in 1928 despite bis Roman Catholocism had the Democratic party been able to make its usual attacks on the negro. But in Smith the Democrats had an other Roosevelt. Old Al had made quite a name for himself as governor and Harlem negroes found in him an able ally. They passed the word e. long. And by the time southerners got to tbe polls they were faced with a nominee who was not a Protestant in religion, a prohibitionist in theory or practice, and a champion of the black man such as even tbe Republi cans seldom had.—Union Republican There’s this about this rationing business, though. A fellow can’t be expected to bring home the bacon. 'Government Takes Over Corn Stock” says headline But that doesn't refer to the liquor ditto. It’s too bad. Mr. Roosevelt, but the Constitution made the President the Commander-in-chief only of the armed forces. Not of civilians. Don’t spend your pay in competition with your neigh bors for scarce civilian goods. Save, America, and you will save Ameriea from black markets and runaway inflation. Buy more Bonds every payday. How many! bonds? Figure it out yourself. New Deal Igoores History— In attempting to create a federal bureaucracy that would direct from Washington the eating and living habits of the smallest hamlet in tbe land. President Roosevelt has stored away in moth balls all of the lessons of history. Today he neglects, in a passion for for centralized power, the verv prin ciples which be described so clearly before the New Deal’s lust for con trol began to dominate government. CompareThesequotations on the past with the federal set up for ra tioning, price ceilings, transporta tion, etc: “Were we directed from Washing ton when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread.”— THOMAS JEFFERSON. “Tbe doctrine of regulation and legislation by .'master minds.’ in whose judgment and will all the peo ple may gladly and quietly acquiesce, has been too glaringly apparent at Washington. Were it possible to find ’master minds’ so unselfish, so willing to decide unhesitatingly a- gainst their own personal interests or private prejudices, men almost god. like in their ability to hold thescales tbeseales of Justice with an even band, such a government might be to the best investment of the country but our political horizon, and we cannot expect a complete reversal of all the teachings 0 f history.”— FRANKLIN D. RROOSEVELT. 1930 “Any natiional administration at tempting to make all laws for the whole nation, such as was wholly practical in Great Britain would in evitably result at some future time in a dissolution of tbe Unit itself.” “It must be obvious that almost any new or old problem of govern ment must be solved, if it is to be solved to the satisfaction of the peo ple of the whole country, by each State in itsown way.”—FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. 1930. SURELY HOPKINS and Hender son and Wallace and Frankfurter and the others who have fastened federal control upon the nation in the name of tbe New Deal would hardly classify as those men almost god-like in their ability whom tbe President in 1930 did not expect ever to appear on tbe political horizon — Ohio Republican News. West Jefferson Is Real Bean Center Wrat Jefferson, in Ashe county, became a big bean center last week as thousands of bushels poured into ' the Farmers Bean and Vegetable Market there and were sold for good prices. While beans have been coming in steadily since the market opened they have not arrived in such large quantities until last week. Officials of the market said that between five and six thousand bushels were brought in and sold on Mondayand Tuesday averaging from $1.50 to $1.65 per bushel including cannery sales. Some beans sold for as high as $2.35 pet bushel. THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCRSVILLE, N. C. Who’s News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Featuresr-W N U Release.

Rear ScreamingEagles Admiral Wff- U am xi. P. Blandy puts it another way. He says they have finally caught up with the parade; meaning they are no longer, as was Britain’s Repulse, a sit ting duck for any dozen dive bomb ers. Of all our admirals Blandy should know. He is chief of the bureau of ordnance and has been fathoms deep in gun design and manufacture, fire control, armor and projectiles for a quarter century. At Annapolis he was top man of his class and even then tops in ord nance. He has the Class of 1871 Sword to prove it. He was barely graduated when he wanted to mar ry. She was Roberta Ames, just about Washington’s prettiest in 1913. However, he was sent on a cruise and the wedding waited for almost a year. His present post, at fifty, is the cap sheaf on a single-minded career. Besides that sword he holds commendations for in creasing the accuracy of fire of his destroyer squadron. And while he was gunnery offioer on the New Mexico she won pen nants, gunnery "E’s,” trophies and cups, everything in sight. He has been ordnance chief since 1941. About then world.events made it plain that this country was going to need a man who could fix its battleships so they could pound mountains to rubble and plunk hum ming birds at fifty feet. ♦--- O NE national leader who is not writing a peace plan at this early date is the Junoesque presi dent of the General Federation of «... m »> Women’s Sftcft to War Now, Ciubs- She Better Peace Later, counsels GFW CHeadSays that Peaae will get bet ter treatment in the years ahead if her followers limit themselves these days to understanding the war ef fort and helping it along.

Freeman Matthews has been in the thick of things on the diplomatic front in Europe. Now HometoGmdeUs Through 'Highly toward a cli- D ram atic D ays on thaJ beleaguered continent, he’s coming home to head the European division of the state department. With him he’s bring ing plenty of knowledge gained first hand both in France and England. For a time after the fall of France, as charge d’ affaires he ran the American embassy in Vichy. That was after Ambas sador Bullitt left and before Admiral Leahy checked in. Aft er the naval man’s arrival, Matthews sat in on all the talks with Petain and the late Admiral Darlan, serving as interpreter for Leahy. Late in ’41 he was shifted to London and he was counsellor of the D. S. embassy there when the call home arrived. This forty-four-year-old native o» Baltimore is a career diplomat. He received his initial assignment just three years after leaving Princeton and its Quadrangle club In 1921. He was sent first to Budapest, Later he turned up in Bogota, Colombia. Jefferson Caffrey was there at the . time, and he liked his young aide so well that he took him along with him when he was made ambassador to Cuba. Those were hectic days down in Havana and some thugs once attacked Matthews’ automo bile, but fortunately he was else where at the time.

But they are very proud of the job they are doing to speed vic tory.I stood the other day on the em bankment; looking across the river toward the Kremlin and its towers and mosques. I could feel the warmth of the sun and I knew that summer finally had come to Mos cow. At home, the kids would be getting out baseball bats and gloves and hurrying to the nearest vacant lot. Here in Moscow, the youngsters just out of school were hurrying to the embankment across the narrow riv er outside the Kremlin. They laughed and yelled, and then a sol dier gave an order and the laughter stopped. The kids lined up. There were about 60 of them, one-third girls. Not one was more than 14. The soldier gave crisp orders. The kids marched smartly np and down the embankment. They marched by twos and fours, with their drillmas- ter barking out military commands.They drilled for one hour—these children of Mars—and then they were dismissed. When their time came, these youngsters would al ready have considerable basic mili tary training. Today they had been in school for five hours and they had drilled for one hour. It’s Children’s War, Too.The children of Russia are or ganized into a society called Pioneers. It’s much like our Boy Scouts, except that girls also are admitted to membership. When school is done and drilling is finished, they go into homes and help. Each housewife now has to run her own home by herself. There’s no servant problem in Moscow; there are no servants. If her children are very young, her problem is a difficult one. This is where the Pioneers enter the pic ture. Each group of Pioneers is as signed to a city block. They find out which families need help. They go into homes and do what is needed. The Timur Group. Within the Pioneers there is a secret group, the envy of all the others. These are called the Timur. Some years ago, a moving picture depicted a boy named Timur who had very great powers. He often visited the dirty homes of mortals and merely by waving a wand would make the house immaculate. If there was wood to be chopped, why, that was a cinch. He’d wave his wand again and there would be a neat pile of logs all ready for the stove. When the family came home to find the house dean and wood piled in the bin, they would know that Timur had been visiting. Timur was a great favorite with Russian youngsters, and the Pioneers adopt ed his name for their seeret society. They work much as Timur worked. A family is finding the burden of carrying on too heavy. Perhaps the husband is at the front, and his wife works In a factory all day. This is true of thousands and thousands of families in Russia. Nurseries take care of the children while a mother is working, and she picks them up on her way home. Then she has to prepare dinner for them. She has IitUe time for house- cleaning or wood chopping. Vigilmit youngsters will report this to the Pioneers. A flying group of Timur lads will descend on the bouse, give it a thorough cleaning, scour the pots and pans, beat rugs, wash and dry any dirty dishes, chop enough wood to last a week—and- then vanish. The housewife Comes-home and looks at her now dean and tidy house and thinks that the age of mirades has come again. Typical of the way in which Timurs operate is the care they take of an aged invalid, father of the well-known Soviet inventor Peter Bostivan. Both Bostivan and his wife enlisted and are at the front The woman who normally took care of the household went into a munitions plant, and the old man, quite .helpless, was alone. The Timurs heard of it and today they are in the house getting his hot tea and black toast ready for breakfast. They take turns giving up their lunch hours to prepare his food. In the afternoon fihey do his marketing and housecleaning. In recognition of this, Bostivan recent ly wrote a glowing letter of thanks. Although discouraged by military 'authority, the children have actual ly done a job in combat at the front. Sometimes military leaders cannot help' themselves. I met 15-year-old Vassia, who was just back from the front. He was a baby-faced kid. Tra nsplan t a bit of the for est to your garden—wood cutouts of this trio do the trick.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. By VIRGINIA VALE Released by W estern New spaper Union. THE first picture which Katharine Hepburn will make for M-G-M under her new long-term contract will be “Without Love,” in which she starred on Broadway last season; it’s by Philip Barry, who wrote “The Philadelphia Story.” It’s one more version of the old, old tale about the young woman who marries with the under standing that the marriage is to be purely one of convenience, and then discovers that she loves the man, after all. Until about two months ago Dick Haymes was just a chap who sang with a band—Harry James’, Benny Goodman’s and Tommy Dorsey’s, in that order. As vocalist with Dor sey, he’d had a share in “DuBarry Was a Lady,” when it was made at Metro last spring. Becently his star began to rise; he had a successful DICK HAlfMES night club engagement, cut two tre mendously successful records, was given stellar billing in the air’s “Here’s to Romance.” He’ll proba bly sign with a major studio before you read this. Somebody at Metro realized that the lad was hot stuff, and ran “DuBarry” for a look at him. Every scene he appeared in had gone to oblivion on the cut ting room floor! — * — "For Whom the Bell Tolls” StOl heads the list of what New Yorkers are talking about—with the war ex cepted, of course. The general opin ion seems to be that it is by far the best picture that has come along in 1943, worth sitting for nearly three hours to see. You’ll enjoy it more if you’ve read the book, since it had to be changed a bit to conform to the. Hays code. But on the whole it is remarkably true to the story. The cast is excellent; it was nothing short of inspiration to give Katina Paxinou the role of “Pilar.” The photography, in technicolor, is some of the best that we have seen. The 350 soldier actors of “This Is the Army” were forbidden by the war department to talk to actresses on the Warner lot while making toe picture. Joan Leslie, toe leading lady, couldn’t understand their in difference to her. They sent a sec ond lieutenant to her dressing room, finally, to say “My men want you to know that by unanimous vote they have chosen you as toe motion picture star they’d most like to meet.” After that Joan felt better. BKO Radio announces that stage, radio, night clubs and little theaters have been combed to provide the studio with new film talent having possibilities of stardom. Edward Small, whose pictures are released by United Artists, announces that he has signed Tony Devlin, 16-year, old student of a Los Angeles high school, the first of a list which he hopes to recruit from high schools and colleges for possible motion picture careers. The talent search is on! A complete file of the London Times for the period of the great blitz of 1940 was received by War ner Bros, for source material for the Ida Lupino-Paul Henreid pic ture, “In Our Time.” One of the is sues included an account of the death of Stanley Lupino, Ida’s fa- . ther, who was killed in the blitz. . The famous actor was serving as a defense volunteer. Incidentally, you’ll hear Ida humming one of her own songs in the picture; paid $25 for it, she sent the money to the Hollywood Canteen.

Be wise and watch toe fruit trees or berry vines or markets—wher ever you get your Ituit—to see that you get it for your canning at just the ripe stage. Fruits should be firm-fleshed, ripe but not over-ripe and in prime con-' dition. Remember canning does not improve any product; it merely preserves it for later use, so it fol lows that you get out of the can only what you put into it. Methods for processing fruit for canning in order of their desira bility are hot-water bath, pressure cooker, steam cooker, open-kettle. Although many homemakers prefer toe open kettle for the fruits, the degree of spoilage is so high and toe vitamin loss so great that it is less desired than processing in the jars. Hot Water Bath. For a hot water or boiling water bath as it is sometimes called, uti lize a large deep vessel. Fit it with a rack of some kind that will hold toe jars % inch from toe bottom of toe canner. Be sure toe vessel is deep enough so that when the jar is immersed in toe boiling water, the water comes to within I to 2 inches over toe top of toe jar. Place jars on toe rack, allowing free circulation of air between the jars. The water should be kept boiling during toe entire processing period. If it boils down, particu larly during some 4>f toe lengtoy processing times, adfi sufficient boil ing water to keep it at the proper height. Oven Canning. Many homemakers like to use the oven for canning fruits and toma toes. This can be successful if the oven you are using is thermo statically controlled and will keep toe required temperature of 250 de grees. The jars should be set on a rack, at least 2 inches apart—starting with a cold oven. The jars should not be allowed to touch toe sides of toe oven. If a sec ond batch of jars is going, in after toe first batch, the oven does not have to be cooled. After the jars are placed on the rack, turn on toe switch or light toe oven.. Start counting process ing time as soon as toe oven is Lynn Says: Canning Pointers: Most fruits are canned by toe cold pack method, but apples, pears, pine apple and quinces are pre-cooked in their syrups to give them that lovely, transparent look. Most homemakers are using toe light syrup—three cups water to one cup sugar—for canning. If you can’t afford any sugar, use fruit juices in place of toe sugar, and then sweeten toe fruit when ready to use. Or, if you can’t make up all the jellies and jams because of lack of sugar, put up the juice and make it into jelly during toe winter when you do have sugar. Honey syrup may be used in canning fruits, but expect to have a slightly different flavor to toe fruit and somewhat darker ap pearance. Use a large kettle in cooking honey syrups because they have a tendency to boil over and foam while being cooked. This Week’s Menu Cold Cuts Old-Fashioned Potato Salad Sliced Tomatoes Radishes Garden Onions Hot Baking Powder Biscuits Cherry Pie Beverage turned on. Temperature should nev er exceed 250 degrees. Higher tem peratures cause liquid to boil out of jars and evaporate. Cooling and Testing Jars. If you have used a self-sealing lid on the jars canned, do not in vert them after taking from toe canner. Instead, set them upright on several thicknesses of newspa per or clean towels, away from drafts and let them cool. After the jar has thoroughly cooled, remove the screw band and re-use it again and again. To test for seal, tap toe lid of the jar with a spoon, and if you get a clear, high ringing note you can be certain that toe jar is well sealed. Fruits for canning are most often cold-packed, rather than hot-packed as. are non-acid vegetables. Se lect fruit only in prime condition, ripe rather than over-ripe. Wash it thoroughly, then prepare as for ta ble and pack in jars. Ftil with hot syrup to within Vt inch of the top. ing to toe time table: Fruit Canning Timetable.

Fruit Juices. Many homemakers who will be unable to put up all toe jellies they wotdd like this summer may put up fruit juices and make them into jelly later. Canning fruit juices ei ther for jelly or other uses is .a fair; Iy simple matter, and process ing is usually done In a hot water bath, at a simmering temperature, 180 degrees F. Flavor of the fruit juices depends upon the fruit selected. The juice of fully ripened fruit should be used. Partially ripened fruit lacks flavor whereas over-ripe or bruised or de cayed fruit will make sterilization more difficult. Extracting Juice. The cold process method must not be used if the fruit is extracted fox jelly making. It is far better to heat toe fruit or berries. Do not add much water, particularly for soft fruits and berries. Simmer at very low heat—do not boil—until toe juices start running. Strain toe fruit juices through a cotton flannel bag, and fill sterile jars to within % inch of the top. Adjust cap, and process in hot water bath for 30 minutes,. Working as quickly as possible will save toe flavor of toe juices and make it more desirable for jelly- making. If you have a canning problem, write to Miss Lynn Chambers, Western Newspaper: Union, 210 South Desplaines Street, Chb cago, III. Please enclose a stamped, self- addressed envelope for your reply.

STONE FOUNDATIONS [N PUTTING up a building of any 1 sort, it is never wise to have wood in direct contact with toe earth. Sooner or later trouble will be sure to come from the rotting of the wood through dampness or from attack by termites or other insects. Some kinds of wood such as cy press and redwood are resistant to trouble from rotting, but in time, even these are not entirely immune. In anything but a shack, the parts in contact with toe earth should be of masonry, with well made poured concrete toe first choice. When al terations to an old building or re grading around it may bring the wooden parts into contact with soil, it is best to replace the woodwork with concrete. Sometimes it is pos sible to protect toe wooden parts with a concrete wall, but for safety, this should be waterproofed with a coating of tar. • * * Soundproofing Question: I live in an old house with a party wall. My neighbors begin their day when I am ready to retire. Is-there any way I can have a room insulated against sound? Answer: Thorough soundproofing is not possible, but fair results may be had by lining the noisy wall with a double layer of insulating materia Au old plaything comes in a new model. This all-wood version of an indoor swing, On display at .tod Mer chandise Mart, Chicago, resembles a scooter. It is suspended at three points. , al. Fur out the wall with 2 by 4 inch studs, nailing them in place at toe floor and ceiling. Nail a one- inch (or thicker) insulating blanket between the studs and then cover, toe wall with an insulating wall- board. ' * » ■ » Shingle Stain Question: What is toe formula tor mixing shingle stain? Answer: Mix in the proportion of four parts raw linseed oil, two parts coal-tar creosote and one part japan drier. For colors other than brown, tint with color-in-oil thinned with linseed oil to the above formula.* • * Lumber for Bookcase Question: I..wish to make some wall bookcases, What wood could I use other than white pine? Would maple be too. hard for me to handle? Answer: White pine is .easiest to work with.' ’Maple, birch or oak can be used, but these woods are harder and cutting would not be so easy. ... Fuel Oil Stains Question: How can stains of fuel oil be removed from asbestos shin gles on the outside of a house? ' Answer: Wash repeatedly with a solution of washing soda in water; three pounds .to the gallon.• • » Fainting Screen Door Question: Which side of a screen door should I paint so that people cannot see through it from toe street?

Housewives Are Urged To Turn in "Waste Fats That there is an acute need for more fats and greases is empha sized in a recent statement by Donald M. Nelson, chairman of WPB. Over 85 per cent of all glycerine produced is now used for military purposes and the need is increas ing. Housewives have been most co-operative in response to ap peals to save waste fats; but gov ernment surveys reveal that while six out of ten women are saving fats, only three out of ten have thus far been delivering their, waste fat to meat dealer collec tors.

He has taken tim e oat, however, to advise pros* pective doughboys to “ paint the town red” before induction and once In the arm y to “keep an open U indtt a s the 4,first three weeks are the hardest.*' His constant assignm ent to K p is the de spair of his sergeant who believes H ar grove will never learn to he a crack soldier. His last experience w as a rifle Inspection in which be fared badly. Now he begins a new episode concerning ad* vancem ent in rank. CHAPTER tV Selectee Joseph G. Gantt, late of Liberty, South Carolina, came out for reveille this morning with a grin you could have used for a foot rule. He held both his arms against the front of his shirt, in a queerly strained posture and blushed happi ly every time someone looked at him. “The heat’s got the boy,” I told Gene Shumate. “Looks like the best ones always go first.” “That ain’t the heat,” said Cookie. “He seems to have a* cramp in his arms.” We looked at Citizen-Soldier Gantt’s arms again. Then, for the first time, we noticed two shining stripes on each sleeve. Citizen-Sol- dier Gantt was a corporal now! “Heavens to Betsy,” we shouted in unison for his benefit. “Is that punk a corporal?” Corporal Gantt acknowledged the tribute by joyful ly changing his color to a holiday “Heavens to Betsy,” we shouted In unison for his benefit. “Is that punk a corporal?” red. The grin widened until his ears hung perilously on the brink of his lips. It took him half the mow: ing to sober his spirits to working conditions. Corporal Gantt has been in the Army exactly four months. He had been an acting corporal for three weeks before he got his stripes. Heaven grant him strength for the ordeal ahead. Tlie term “buck private” was ex plained to us this afternoon. It re fers to the Old Army Game, “pass ing the buck.” The sergeant is first called on the carpet for a mistake in his platoon. The sergeant seeks out the corporal and gives him a dressing-down. The corporal passes the buck by scalding the ears of the private. The private doesn’t even have a mule to kick, so he can’t pass the buck any farther. He keeps it. That makes him a buck private. The Army, I find, has many subtle ways to trap the unwary into vol unteering for work. First there was the sergeant over at the Reception Center who came through the recre ation hall one afternoon calling for “Private Smith.” Four men an swered. All four were put to work picking up cigarette stubs. On the call, “Anybody in here know how to handle a truck?” don’t speak up. The last three were seen later pushing a hand truck up the battery street to haul rifle racks. Corporal Henry Ussery is’to date the most dangerous conscriptor. This week he came into the squadroom to ask if anyone was good at short hand. Three citizen-soldiers admit ted that they were. “Report to the kitchen,” the cor poral laughed. “The mess sergeant says he’s shorthanded on dishwash ers.” - S - “One of the most solemn and responsible trusts of a soldier,” Ser geant “Curly” Taylor said today, "is his guard duty.” Sergeant Tay lor, who has been in the Army for nineteen years and probably knows more about guard duty than any man in Fort Bragg, is teaching us about guard duty now. The soldier is called to this duty about -once a month. For a twenty- four-hour period, he is on two hours, and off four hours, and he "walks his post in a military manner,” guarding the peace and possessions and safety of a part of the post. He is responsible only to a corporal of the guard, a sergeant of the guard, an officer of the day, and his commanding officer. The guard, or sentry, is known chiefly to the reading and movie- going public by two expressions, “Halt, who goes there?” and “Corporal of the guard! Post number three!” The former, Sergeant Tay lor said with his best poker-face, has given the Army considerable worry at times. According to the sergeant, the guard is instructed to give the “halt” order three times and then shoot. Over-enthusiastic rookies from the back counties, he said, had been known to go like this: “Halt halt halt! Ka-POW!” (You can believe it or leave it; I never question what the sergeant says.)There was one rookie guard, he said, who halted him, questioned him and allowed him to pass. Aft er he had gone several steps, the sentry again shouted, “Halt!” Ser geant Taylor came back and want ed to know—politely, of course— how come. “My orders,” said the guard, “say to holler ‘Halt’ three times and then shoot. You’re just on your second halt now!” The other popular expression is the come-a-running call that goes up the line to the guardhouse when a guard takes a prisoner or “meets any case not covered by instruc tion” (General Order No. 9). If the guard is on the seventh post, he sings out, “Corporal of the guard! Post number seven!” The guard on the sixth post picks up the cry and it goes down the line like that. There’s the story about the officer of the day who questioned a new sen try, as officers of the day frequently do in order to test the sentries. “Suppose,” the OD asked, “that you shouted, ‘Halt’ three times and I kept going, what would you do?” The guard was apparently stumped by the question. Finally he answered, < “Sir, I’d call the corporal of the guard.” The officer of the day gloated. “Aha!” he said. “So you’d call the corporal of the guard, would you? And just why would you call the corporal of the guard?” This time the answer was prompt and decisive—and correct. “To haul away your dead body, sir!” Heroes are born, not made. -S a - There’s one job here that is noth ing but goldbricking in itself. That’s the latrine orderly detail. You go to work after lunch and spend the rest of the afternoon watching the fire in the water heater and feeding it reg ularly—every two hours. The next morning you sweep and mop the washroom and spend the rest of the time until lunch watching the fire again. AU in all, you lead a lazy, carefree existence. There was a slip-up somewhere yesterday. I was latrine orderly instead of a KP. It was probably the mess sergeant’s idea. The boys started out after lunch for an afternoon of drilling in the warm Carolina sunshine and learn ing to drive trucks across ditches. An hour later, I decided to take a casual look at the boiler. When I opened the furnace-room door, a blast of strong brownish smoke struck me to the ground. I lay there for several minutes, tapping my forehead thoughtfully, while more smoke poured out. When it still hadn’t slackened aft er five minutes, I crawled under the layer of smoke to the boiler. There the sickening vapor was, pouring nonchalantly through clinks in the door. “Don’t come telling me about it,” said Sergeant “Ma” Davidson. “Take out the pipes and clean them. AU of them.”I had to see the top sergeant to get my instructions. When I re turned to Sergeant Davidson I was happy again.“Ma,” I told him, “the top kick says for you to supervise the job.” The sergeant was furious with rage and frustration. I grabbed a screw driver and he grabbed Private Downer, who had a black mark by his name for not wearing his identifica tion tag. The three of us started work. First, put out the fire in the boiler. Shake it down, throw ashes on it. It still burns. Shake it down more, throw sand on it. StiU bums. Close the bottom door, shake it down more; throw ashes and sand on it. Curse it. After too long, it dies. The man who devised the system for connecting an indoor boiler and an outdoor chimney should be parched with his own pipes and stuffed with oily soot. Unscrew a pipe, lift it gently, coax it from its socket. Easy does it. Careful there. When you have it almost out, inhale for your- sigh ot reUef. Crash! The whole network of pipes bounces off the floor scat tering ashes and soot over half the battery area.After half an hour of scrubbing and wiping the interior regions of aU the pipes, they're ready to go up again. All but one of them are in place and the last one is ready to be fitted. Careful there! Easy, now! Watch out! Catch it! CRASH!The boys come in from the driU field at 4:30 and head for the show ers. There is no hot water. “Get a load of that Hargrove,” they fume, in an unnecessarily nasty manner. “He gets a job where aU he has to do is throw a shovel of coal on the fire every two hours. And then when we come in, there ain’t no hot water. There ain’t even no fire. Throw the bum out.” I.-grinned weakly as I reported to the supply sergeant for work.' “You must be that nice Sergeant Thomas W. Israel I’ve heard so many nice things about.” “No, UttIe man,” he said. ‘Tm the nice Sergeant Israel you’ve been U t V l C t running your loud mouth about. I’m the nice sergeant who always gives you the wrong clothing sizes and hides your laundry and does aU those awful things you’ve been teU- ing about me.” “So help me, sergeant,” I pro tested. “I never named thee but to praise. Somebody’s been trying to poison your mind against me.” “I am also the nice sergeant,” he said, “who is going to let you earn your seventy cents today. Take off your fatigue blouse, my man, and prepare to sweat. Today we make progress. We are 'going to unpack rifles.” It seems to ■ me that when the manufacturer prepares to pack a box of Army rifles, his cruel streak comes out at its worst. From the look of the rifles, he has his three- year-old daughter prepare a com pound of molasses, pitch, and used motor oil—the gooier the better. He slings each gun into the resulting mess, sloshes it around for a while, and then lays it neatly into the box. You use a swab about the size of a tablecloth to wipe the grease from the rifle. When you’re halfway through the first rifle, you have to use the gun to wipe the grease from the cloth. When you have finished, you need a large coal shovel to wipe the grease off yourself. There is nothing so conducive to itching as the inabiUty to scratch. Just when the molasses-pitch-axle grease mixture jcovers your hand to the point where you can’t see the outlines of the fingers, that left nos tril starts tingling. At first it itches only a little and you decide to suf fer it. So you don’t wipe your hands on the seat of your trousers. In stead you pick up another rifle and your hand sinks to the elbow in the goo which wraps it. This is the stage where your nose gets peevish and impatient and decides to itch in earnest. Finally, you decide to give in. You wipe your hands—an operation which takes a good three or four minutes for satisfactory results. You lift your hand to scratch your nose, only to find that your nose isn’t itching any more: I was doing fairly weU this morn ing, even when you take the itch into consideration, until the mess sergeant happened to stroU by. “HeUo, Uttle man,” he sings gaily, with a horrible gleam in his eyes. “You’ve not been around to see me for a long time. Aren’t mad, are you?” I look at my hands, at the rifle, at the old shoe, and at the mess ser geant. I hold my tongue. Health is wealth,“We miss you terribly in the kitch en,” he coos, “even when you go griping around that my food is the worst in the Army. I just saw the first sergeant and I asked him to let you be a KP just as soon as he can spare you. Oh, we’re going to do wonders to that kitchenware, you and I.” He pats me on the forehead with ominous tenderness and departs. The sergeant yeUed ont of the win dow at me, so I dropped my broom and went upstairs. Five paces away, -he turns for a parting shot. “Blabbermouth!” he snorts. I suppose he’s good to hU mother, though. The sergeant yelled out the win dow at me, so I dropped my broom in the-:battery street and went upstairs. He was sitting on the foot locker, thoughtfuUy rubbing his chin with the handle of his mess-kit knife. “Ralph Oxford got called up to the battery commander’s office this morning,” he said, “and do you know what the Old Man gave him?” "I’ve got a pretty good idea,” I said. “If he gave him what he gave me when I got caUed up, it has four letters, starts with an h and ends with an I.” The sergeant closed his eyes and slowly shook his head. “Oxford isn’t a sore thumb to the platoon like you are,” he groaned. “Oxford got a bright red stripe to wear around his sleeve.” “Oxford’s no fireman,” I told him. “You’re dern right he ain’t,” said the sergeant. “Starting with today,- Oxford and Zuber and Roff and Maciejewski and Pappas and Mihal- akakos are acting corporals!” I knew-there must be a moral to all this, so I wanted for him to go on. “Now, why couldn’t you have bee* one of those six boys?” he asked. (TO BE 'CONTINUED) Ty Cobb Rogers Hornsby PEMflNG Ip S S s Released by Western NewspapeT Union. ^TpHE average individual who fol- -*■ lows basebaU rather closely knows that Tyrus Raymond Cobb was the greatest hitter of aU time, with a life-time average of .367. But how many can' name the runner-up, the second best? As frequent a guess as any is Babe Ruth. But the Babe didn’t rate second. Nei ther did Honus Wag ner, nor Tris Speak er or George Sisler. That place of hon or belongs to Rog ers Hornsby, who turned in a batting average of .358 in 2 2 years of service. Cobb won Ameri can league batting honors every single year from 1907 through 1919. His top year was in 1911 when he hit .420 for Detroit. As a matter of statistical information, Cobb played in 3,033 games, was at bat 11,429 times and accounted for 4,191 hits and 2,244 runs. Lifetim e Rankings ^ Homsby led the National league in batting during 1920, ’21, ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25 and ’28. He set the modern Na tional league record for the highest bat ting percentage, .424 in 1924. He played in 2,256 games, was at bat 8,173 times, ' made 2,930 hits and 1,579 runs. A much-debated subject is the life time ranking of the game’s leading hit ters. It’s the kind of an argument that breaks out in army, camps, in drug stores and on the golf course. Here are a few of the marks, established by players with from 15 to 25 seasons’ active service: Ty C obb................367 Lon Gebris . . .340Bosers Hornsby . .358 Georfe Slsler . .340 WiDie Keeler , . « ,345 Adrian Anson .339 Tris Speaker . . . .344 Nap Lajoie . . .»38 Babe Rutb , .341 Eddie CoUins .333Heuus W agner . . . .380 Keeler was the greatest scientific hitter of aU time. In explaining his success as a place hitter, Wee Willie (height, 5 feet, 4% inches; weight 140) made the famous remark, “I hit ’em where they ain’t.” He didn’t have the power of a Ruth or a Hornsby, but his place hitting more than made up for that lack. Ruth, the game’s greatest home run hitter and certainly the greatest drawing card of aU time, compiled a record of 714 home runs during his career, hitting 40 or more in U different years with the New York ■Yankees and establishing a record of 60 round trippers in the 1927 sea son. R uth’s Record The Babe appeared in 10 world se ries encounters, seven of them with the Yanks, and in most of Oiese his bat played a highly important part. He smacked 15 home runs in world series play alone and fin ished his career with a series bat ting mark of .326.' In the 1928 series his batting average was .625, an all- time high. Lou Gehrig long wiU be remembered, and for a variety of reasons. He was much more than a power hitter. He had an unsurpassed devotion to the game and was without peer as a true sportsman. His outstanding performance — most consecutive games played, major league rec ord—2,130, starting June I, 1925. He played in 2,164 games, was at bat 8,001 times, made 2,721 hits for 1,888 runs. Napoleon Lajoie batted with the best of them through 21 years of action in the National and American leagues. He hit for a mark high over .300 in a majority of his seasons, and hit the exceptionally high mark of .405 in 1901. tH om e R un* Baker LaJoie led the American league in batting on three separate occasions and smacked 13 home runs, a big total at that time, In 1901, to lead the league in that category. Re member, too, that in 1913,1. Frank lin Baker, third baseman for the Philadelphia Athletics, earned the name "Home Run” Baker and made his name a household word by hit ting 1 2- home runs. Two moderns have had a chance to move into this select- society. They were Ted,WilUams and Joe Di- Maggio, now in the army. WUUams’ four-yeair record is .356, and Ted was just finding himself in contrast to the veterans listed. DiMaggio’s seven-year record is .339. Unquestionably these two hit ters had the. chance to move into the aU-time Ust until war came along. Mel Ott, with .310, plus over 450 home runs, is the standout among those left.- And that isn’t overlook ing BiU Dickey iwith .312. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAl SUNDAY ICHOOL Uesson By HAROLD L. LmfDQUlSTt D. D.Ot Tbe Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by W estern Newspaper UnimM Lesson for August 15 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by lhternatlaial Council of Religious Education; used bar permission. GOD PROVIDES FOR HIS PEOPLE LESSON TEXT—Exodus 16:11-18; 17:3-0. GOLDEN TEXT—Give us this day our daily, bread.—Matthew 6:11. Only God can provide the necessi ties of life. Rationing has taught us that lesson anew if we have been at aU thoughtful about it. The plan is one of sharing. Sharing what? The food and other provisions which come to us from God’s hand. Un less our crops are good there wiU be less to share. Only God can help us. This was the lesson Israel learned in the wilderness. To reach the goal to which God was leading them they must pass through the wilder ness! Not only were there many weary miles to travel, but there were privations to be borne. Life is like that. Now they cried for food. Note how elemental are man’s needs in the final analysis—bread and water. The very things we take almost for granted as we concern ourselves with life’s weighty interests and pro found problems become, if lacking, the only things that Iiave any real meaning. And who is it that can provide them? No one but God Him self. I. Bread from Heavui (Exod. 16: 11-18). Israel’s longing for meat was met by the miraculous coming of quan tities of quail (v. 13). But that was not the food to sustain them day after day. For this they needed bread, and it came from heaven, every day until they entered the promised land (Josh. 5:12). Observe four things about_ the manna. First, it was a divine provision. There are responsibiUties in life which we may bear—and must bear —but in the ultimate meeting of our real needs we must look to God. Secondly, it was a daily provision. Whal forehanded folk many of us are, and no doubt rightly so, for God puts no premium on improvi dence. But once again we must recognize, as did Israel in receiv ing the daily manna in the wilder ness, that ours is indeed a moment by moment existence. We plan bravely for the next dec ade or the next generation, but as a matter of fact it can only come to pass “if the Lord wiU” (read James 5:13-17). Next, it was a Umited provision- enough for the day and no more, ex cept for a double portion on the sixth day, and none at aU on the Sabbath. These provisions were made clear to Israel, and yet there were those who attempted to lay up for the morrow, and some even went out to seek manna on the Sab bath day.We marvel at their stubborn ob tuseness, but are we not often just Uke them. Some there are who are always expecting that the laws of both God and man should be set aside for them, but they come to grief. Finally, it caUed for diUgence and action on their part. They had to be out early each day (except the Sabbath) to gather it. God’s mer cies are for those who are willing to obey Him. He gives to those who receive by active faith. n. Water from the Rock (Exod. 17:3-6). “And the people thirsted”—for the daily manna was not enough, they must have water. Needy, yes, constantly needy are God’s children. “Every life knows the bite Of ne cessity . . . every soul cries out in pain because there is wanting some completing favor, some culminating and aU-contenting benediction. Here it is bread; there it is water; but everywhere a famine . . . in many a case a famine of soul, a spiritual destitution, a consciousness of a void which time cannot satisfy or space content.” God always provides. There is a rock in the wilderness. But what pleasure does a murmuring people find in a rock' when they famish for water? It is God’s deUghtful custom to meet our needs in unexpected ways ’and Iqr means which we do not understand. Even our physical necessities come from unthought of sources. III. Christ, the Bread and Water of Life. Our lesson does not give the New Testament appUcation of Israel’s ex periences, but let us not miss that blessed-spiritual truth. In John 6:31-33, Christ is 'declared to be the true bread from heaven, of which the manna was but a type. Paul speaks in I Corinthians 10: 1-4 of this incident in the history of Israel, saying that they “did aU eat the same spiritual meat, and did aU drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that foUowed them: and that Rock was Christ” (see also John 4:14). Hungry and thirsty soul, you who are still unsatisfied after tasting all that life apart from Christ has to offer, wiU you not, just now, take' Him?

Ton never actually "bid" against anybody for a porter house steak, bnt when yon take the spending of all average Americans as a group, it's a different story. So it is im portant that excess money be saved rather than used collec tively to bid np prices. If it Is spent, instead of saved, prices soar. . . That’s inflation.

Humphries and a graduate of Wake Forest College, is beginning to wonder when be will obtain a regular furlough. He’s at home again now for several days but although he has been in tbe army for nearly two years, his visits have thus far been due to special circumstances in connection with family affairs or official training. His present trip to Roxboro start ed nearly two months ago, while serving with an artillery unit on de sert maneuvers in California and Arizona. He sucked up too much desert dust and went to an El Paso hospital Before he was well bis unit was “shipped out,” taking with it part of bis personal belong ings. Being a man without a unit, he was then sent to Camp Wol- lace, Texas, where he bad at one other time been stationed. While on his second stay there he receiv ed orders to report to Camp Davis, in North Carolina, and now he is home, with a few days to spare be tween assignments. And, he’ll be at home when he goes to Camp Davis. He has been there before, too, and as . hot and snltry as the price is, he will be comfortable. He wou’t even mind the mosquitoes. Desert maneuvers teach you to live anywhere, he says. There is that time when he was trying to go where a tank should have gone over a highway bank, straight up. He flew up, too, and came down on a bip bone. It was all in pitch darkness. Another time he made his sand bed under a tree, a desert rarity, growing near a dried up stream. The bed was nice and comfoi table until desert rats that lived In the tree and had the same opinion of it, came down and start ed making a meal out of his sleep, ing bag. They scurried back and forth over bis face and finally got near his toes. That was when Lieut. Humphries moved his bed to the great open spaces. A former school teacher at Al- IensviIle and for severat months an associate editor of the Roxboro Courier, Humphries, since that day when he cleaned up his editorial desk and rode to camp with a group of selectees, has never had an op portunity to he either a teacher or an editor. Instead, as he says, the army thinks he is the one who needs to be educated. Hehasbeen ,taking special training and going to school ever since. There are lots of things he ex pects to learn this summer while on his second assignment at Camp Davis. But there is much he has already learned. He never wants to see a vienna sausage again. Ex clusive diets in the desert do tricks like that, bnt he’ll never grow hun gry either, not after he has discov ered how to take a common wash pail and make a desert stove. The process is simple. A com mon tin bucket, with holes punch ed halfway up In a circle, is filled to that point with sand and then satualed with gasoline. A match does tbe rest, with flames and heat enough for shaving water, cooking, or what have you. And believe it or not, the contraption does not blow up.—Ex..

It is said the editor took care of himself all right at tbe expense of some of his pieces of furniture. Now that’s getting back to tbe good old days We. were brought up in the country newspaper office, and we have seen editors who kept a Winchester rifle back of the door ready to back up his editorials, and we have seen newspaper offices that looked like a china store after a wild bull had passed through. The bit of news is encouraging. It shows we are getting back to the good old days.—Winston Journal. Draftiog of Fathers It is not a fair statement or as sumption that fathers will become subject to the selective service dTaft in the early future as if they had been exempted altogether up to this time as a class. . That is not the case at all. Fathers have already been draft ed by the tens and scores of thous ands. There are even a consider able nnmber of grandfathers in tbe armed services. What is meant by the new policy emanating from Washington au thorities is only that fathers will no longer be allowed priority exemp tion when all of tbe other potential draftees have been exhausted, and that, it seems, is near at band. Ev-n so, when it comes back in September, Congress may take a hand in framing selective policies regarding the status of the fatherly groups. There is rather considerable opin ion in that body that tbe Army is already large enongb, and if tbe war continues to go well for the next few weeks, added weight will be given such an argument; Moreover, it is already indicated that Congress may not be favorable to the proposed policy of Man.pow. er mogul, Mr. McNutt, to draft fi.thers without discrimination as to the number of their dependents. It has a point there, too —Char lotte Observer. If nature were a real friend of humanity, it would run more to chickens with double breasts rather than four legs. Let Us Pray (Br Kev. Loy D. Thoro pood) Alfred Tennyson, one Jime poet laureate of England, made this re quest, “pray for my soul.” This poet of international fame believed in tbe practical value of prayer. He wanted his friends to prav for his soul He was aware that prayer ex erts power over the soul. Of course it is true that prayer is not only ef ficacious In tbe realm of the soul, but in the realm of the body as well. Paul believed that prayer for others wielded soul power. In tbe first chapter of Phllippians he says: “And this I pray, that ytur love may abound yet more and more In knowledge and in all judgment; that ye may prove things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence.” Prayer is one of the active powers of the world In the sphere of the spirit. We may not always see the result of our petitions but we can rest as sured that when we offer our sup olications in the name of Jesus Christ and in spirit of sincerity in fluences are set in motion tbat will help somebody to be a better and nobler person. In the light of tbe fact that prayer exerts an influence In material as well as spiritual af fairs a lieutenant on some far flung battle line wrote to bis sister these words among others: “Prayer Is going to win this war—not guns a- lone. but fervent, agonizing prayer. Tell all America to go to its knees.” If you and I have not been more interested in prayer aud more fer- ventlv engaged in the practice of prayer than ever before we are tra itors to the Four Freedoms and to the high interests of tbe battling boys on the bastions of the world’s supreme conflict In the model prayer Christ teaches us to pray for the sustentation of tbe body, the forgiveness of sin, the gnidanoe of tbe soul, and the deliverance from evil. Prayerreachesinfluencesbotb body and soul When we remem ber our friends let us pray for their total well-being. But above all things prav for tbe soul. Plaut Fall Gardens— Now is the time to seed many vegetables for fall prodnction. Snap beans may be planted dur ing the next 30 days and turnips should be seeded during the same period. There are several other crops which may be planted now. With the demand for food so great, it is.notsufficlent to have an early summer garden and then quit The same ground can grow from two to font different food vegetables Beans can be planted where tbe early beans were. Onions and po tatoes tan be harvested and fall vegetables can be grown on tbe same ground Those who bad such splendid gardens during the spring and sum mer should not let the hot weather cut off their enthusiasm and should keep up the job until the frosts of winter says it is time to quit. And we should not overlook the importance of canning and preser ving tbe surplus food products pro duced in onr gardens. That is jnst as important as the growing and cultivating of the vegetables. —Ex. .

No Cotton Marketing Quotas For 1943 Crop Based on recommendations of the Agricultural Adjustment Agency, the War Food Administration has announced termination o f cotton marketing quotas for tbe 1943 crop and indicated that no quotas would be in effect for the 1944 crop.

Also, termination of mark eting season. Also, termination of marketing quotas will not affect the basis on which payments will be made to farmers under the 1943 A- gricultural Conservation Program. A Safe Bet Secretary of tbe Navy Knox has predicted a crude oil shortage with in a year, and exhaustion in 14 to 20 years of present known supplies. Almost these same words were used during the last World War, and then tbe oil industry evolved new drilling methods, found new fields, greatly increased the products taken from crude oil. and gave our nation the greatest supply of oil products on record. There was incentive to do the job. If our lawmakers and regulators will but give tbe oil industry half a chance and allow a fair return for the risk involved, it is a safe bet that this country won’t be out of oil in one year, or twenty years. Cut the red tape before an artifi cial shortage is ereated, and give A* merican enterprise a chance to meet any emergency.

Imm edi ately before Induction he advocates a period of -painting the town red." Once in, the new soldier should "keep an open m ind" about w hat he learns because "the first three weeks are hardest." Private Hargrove has been missing the point of some of his essential training and as a result he has had considerable K P duly. Some of his friends have been advanced to Corpora] and his Sergeant has asked why he w as not promoted. CHAPTER V “Me?” The idea had never oc curred to me. ‘Tm just not the ex ecutive type, I suppose. Back at the News, the boss told me that if I stayed there sixty years, I’d never get promoted. I’m just not the type that gets promoted.” “Let’s look at the record,” said the sergeant. He pulled his little black notebook from his pocket. “On the drill field Saturday morn ing, you pulled forty-eight boners out of fifty marching commands. Everything you did was backwards. “Friday morning you fell out for reveille without your leggins. Satur day you had your leggins but no field hat. Monday morning neither of your shoes was tied and none of “A mess sergeant, according to military legend, is a cook whose brains have been baked out.” your shirt buttons were buttoned. Tuesday morning it was without leg gins again.” ‘Tm never really awake,” I pro tested, “until ten o’clock.” “You ain’t awake then,” he scoffed. “Every Monday morning without fail I have to wake you up at least a dozen times. I have to look behind all the posts around here to see which one you’re sleeping against. You snore and disturb your classes, too!” He was exaggerating there, I told him, I don’t snore. And I’m sleepy only on Monday morning. The rest of the time I’m alert and energetic. “You’re too energetic sometimes!” he roared. “Just this morn ing, when the lieutenant was coaching the platoon in rifle sighting and you were on fatigue duty as usual! That was a pretty one! You ran up and down the battery street twenty- two times in Ihiity minutes and you saluted the lieutenant every time you passed him! Do you think he ain’t got a thing to do but return your salutes all morning?” This was evidently a rhetorical question, so I didn’t answer it. “You don’t salute an officer every time you see him when you’re right there at his side practically all day. You salute him the first time you see him and the last -time you’re going to see him. “And then when the lieutenant explains that to you," he sighed, “then what do you do! The next time you see him, you salute him again and then ask him was you supposed to salute him that time!” He put his head in his hands and drummed sadly on the toe of his foot locker. He raised his head aft er a time and looked into the note book again.I knew what was coming next and I edged toward the door. “And then you low-rated the mess sergeant’s recipe for creamed beef on toast and told him his chow was the worst in the Army. And you said you was going to start eating in Hie next battery. That hurt his feelings so bad that he burned the potatoes for the next three meals!” I promised to apologize to the mess sergeant. The sergeant read out of his notebook for five or six minutes more, enumerating the things I had consistently done wrong.“Now, do you know,” he asked wearily, “why you don’t get the red stripes when they give Uiem out?” “! suppose I’m just not the execu tive type,” I told him. -I H - A mess sergeant, according to mil itary legend, is a cook whose brains have been baked out. This does not apply to the mess sergeant in our battery, whose feelings are easily hurt by cruel remarks and who weeps tears into the mashed pota toes when he’s picked on. Tlfis is simply the old Army definition of a mess sergeant. AU of us rising student cooks are eUgible to become mess sergeants, Staff Sergeant Adams told us in our first cooking class yesterday morning. Then we can sit out in the cool dining rooms and yell back orders for the cooks to yeU at the student cooks to yell at the kay- pees. This is not the beautiful goldbrick- ing life-that it seems, though. The mess sergeant has to make requisi tions . and keep records on all the rations, he has to make out; the menus, see that the food is pre pared properly and supervise the work of the cooks, the student cooks, and the kaypees. Besides this, he must listen to aU the gripes about his food and to the threadbare jokes about cooks who get drunk from lemon and vaniUa extract. AU this he must do, with his brains baked out. The cook, lucky Utile -rascal that he. is, also leads an ideal life. He is allowed to believe that he knows more about cooking then the mess sergeant wiU ever know, although he is not supposed to tell the mess sergeant that he does. He works one day and sleeps the next two. If the cook is not feeling cheerful, he can pick on at least one student cook and at least five kaypees. On the battlefield, he is in the safest position behind the Unes, since the food is endowed with more senti- nfental value than the top sergeant. The jokes about Army cooks being shot at from both sides are not based upon fact. However, friend cook has to greet the mom before the morn gets there. On the days when he works, he‘has to get up between 3:00 and 3:30 o’clock in order to prepare a sub stantial breakfast for about two hun dred healthy, growing boys whose appetites are exceeded only by the size of their mouths and the power of their lungs. Yesterday we started to school, with cookbooks and manuals and loose-leaf notebooks for our home work. The only way in which it differed from pubUc schools was that the naughty boys didn't have to go and sit with the girls. Also, the dunce seat, instead of being in the corner of the classroom, was said to be behind a large sack of potatoes in the battery kitchen. The only hope for an easy time in class was gone in this school. There’s no percentage in bringing a shiny red apple to a teacher who has the key to at least one weU- stocked pantry. - I H i - In the kitchen, they teU us, aU the cleaning-up work is to be done by the kaypees, so that the cook may be doing more important things. This, unfortunately, doesn’t apply to the daily task of cleaning the stoves thoroughly. The stoves, it says here in the books, are the cook’s tools and he must do his own grinding. It isn’t worth the time to wait for the stoves to get comfortably cool before you begin the twiUght beautification of these overgrown infernos. In order to avoid the rush at the theater, and to let the kaypees off early, start work now. The stoves must be cleaned in side and out—thoroughly. First, shake down the fire. All the live coals must go into the ashpan un der the grate. That much is sim ple. Then remove the ashpan, red coals and all. -It must be dumped into the ash can out on the garbage rack. This entire procedure should be simple, too, it says here. All jiou have to do is catch the front handle with a heavy glove and catch the little hook in the rear with the far end of your cap lifter. Here we go!Carry the ashpan well in front of you. Ain’t it hot! When you get to the door, simply open it with the toe of your shoe. Like this. Like— Doesn’t seem to work. Try again. Try pushing the right screen so that the left one will swing slightly to ward you. Ready? Slightly push the right screen. Something seems to be wrong here. During this time, you will become increasingly aware that the glove over the ashpan handle is becoming hotter and hotter. Just as you get your toe into the door, the heat penetrates the glove and you de cide—very suddenly—that perhaps it’s best to drop the whole matter. Drop it slowly, carefully, tenderly— if you can. Do not drop it upon the wooden floor. Look around, if you think you have time, and locate an overturned boiler on which to set it. Whew, that hand’s hot! No -boil er? Then drop it anyway! You will find that dropping the ashpan, even though you did it gen tly, has released a small amount of floating ash, all of which will be absorbed into your mouth and nose. Patience, brother. See that the ash- pan isn’t lying where, it will bum anything, such as a perfectly good wooden floor. Pour cold wateron the glove, wait for the resulting steam to blow away, prop open the door as you should have done in the first place, and try, try again. This time you will almost reach the garbage rack before the glove again gets hot. Slide, Kelly, slide! You won’t get there without drop ping the whole pan into the clean road, but at least you tried. Beat the pan against the ash can several times for sound effect. Return to the kitchen, where the mess sergeant, who was watching you through the window all the time, will direct you to return and clean it up. W .N IU .SERVICE. By the time you have finished and -look about you, the kaypees have finished their work and are sitting around gaping at you as if you were a steam shovel. A very, very black steam shove]. Isn’t gas a wonderful fuel? Private Sher and I were sitting out on the back steps to dodge the cleaning work going on. inside when we saw the sergeant bearing down on us from the other end of the bat tery street. “It’s no use scooting inside, Har grove,” said Sher. “He’s already seen us. Look tired, as if you’d already done your part of the work.” Private Sher is the goldbricking champion of Battery A and always knows what to do in such an emer gency. We both draped expressions of fatigue over our faces and the sergeant skidded to a halt before us. He reached into his hip pocket for the little black book and aimed a fin ger at both of us. “Bums!” he shouted. “Bums! I worked my fingers to the bone yes terday morning getting this platoon to pretty up the barracks for inspec tion. Comes inspection and two pri vates have dirty shoes lying sprawled all over the floor under their bunks! Private Hargrove and MISTER Private Sher! Report to Corporal Farmer in fatigue clothes.” We reported to Corporal Farmer, who looked at his list of jobs. “As much as you don’t deserve it,” he said, “you two goldbricks are in line for canteen police.” Mr. Private Sher and I walked up the battery street toward the can teen. “Is this canteen police business good or bad?” I asked. “Oh, so-so,” he said. “You have to clean up the papers and cigarette butts around the post exchange first thing in the morning. Then you come around and check up three or four times during the day.” I stopped, aghast. “What do you do between times?” “Just be inconspicious,” said Sher. “That’s all there is to it. Please pick up that candy wrapper over there. My back aches.” We cleaned up the grounds around the post exchange and sat for a while in the shade, watching a bat tery going through calisthenics. With beautiful precision, the sol diers swung their rifles up, down, to the right, to the left. They went through the quarter, half, and full knee bends and the shoulder exer cises and the rest of the routine.“Those boys seem to be improv ing, Mt. Sher,” I said.“Result of hard work,” said Maury. “Personally, I get awfully tired watching this. We’ll wear ourselves out. Let’s go over to. my kitchen and handshake for a bottle of milk.” “No,” I protested. “We must go to my kitchen.” “To avoid a tiring argument,” suggested Private Sher, “we will go to both our kitchens. We • can’t be thrown but of both of them.” After successful forays on both kitchens, Private Sher began to yawn with boredom. “My dear Har- “He’s already seen as. Look tired as if you'd already done your part of the work.” grove,” he said, “we must stimulate our minds. Let us adjourn to my place for a game of checkers.” Private Sher’s “place” was only one flight of stairs removed from my squadroom, so we adjourned. After two games of checkers, Pri vate Sher waved his arms. “This is folderol,” he said. “You are no checker player, Hargrove. You have no idea of tactics. Let us sit by the window and watch our comrades drill. There is something stirring in the sight of fine young men per fectly executing a marching order.” While we were sitting there being stirred, another corporal disturbed us. He wanted us to go with him to haul coal.“Much as we would like to help you haul coal, my good man,” said Maury, "we are now actively engaged in the work of policing up the post exchange. Feel free to call upon us at any other time.” The corporal placed his hands on his hips and stared at us. “You’re being punished,” he asked, “with canteen duty?” • "There’s no need to be vulgar,” said Sher. “If you will excuse us, it is time for us to go again to look for cigarette butts around the post exchange. Coming Mr. Hargrove?” “Coming, Mr. Sher. And a good day to you, corporal!” ITO BE CONTtNWED) ffFIRST-AID*to the AILING HOUSE , By ROGER B. WHITMAN , Roger B, XiniltmaiiM-aWNU Features. Yon m ay Dot be able to replace worn or broken household equipment. Thin is w ar. Goyonunent priorities come first. Se take care of w hat yon have . . . an well as yon possibly can. Thin column by the Jtemeewn* er'n friend tells yon how. PAINTING NEW WOOD ONE of my correspondents says that in the repairing of her porch last year an end wall with windows was added. She goes on to say that “because of dampness, the carpenter advised painting the new wood with a first coat of oil and turpentine. The entire porch was then given two coats of good paint, but a few months later, the paint on the new wood checked and peeled. The new wood was then re painted, but this summer the same trouble occurred. Apparently, the paint did not penetrate the wood. The first rule in painting is to have the wood thoroughly dry. That first coat of oil and turpentine may have sealed in the dampness, which even tually worked out and loosened the paint. Had the wood been thorough ly dry, the first coat of paint would have penetrated the wood, and in hardening in the pores would have made a good bond. For this, the first coat should have been thinned according to the manufacturer’s directions. Many cases of the peel ing of paint of which I hear are due to the failure of the painter to follow the instructions of the manu facturer for the thinning of the first coat. In the case in point, the rem edy lies in the removal of aU paint to the bare wood, and to its replace ment at a time when the wood is thoroughly dry. It goes without say ing that the first coat should be cor. rectly thinned.... Cementing Linoleum Question: What is the right way and what are the correct materials to use tocement linoleum to a wood floor? I wish to do the job myself. Is it best to cement the linoleum directly to the floor, or to place a layer of other material between it and the floor? Answer: See that the wood floor is smooth and all cracks and open spaces between the boards filled with a crack filler. For best results a layer of linoleum felt is cemented down over the wood floor, after which the linoleum should be ce mented to the felt. Your local linoleum dealer can supply all the nee essary materials.... Interior Finishing Question: I would like to put in a chair rail, paper above it and panel with plywood. Walls are now tongue and grooved boards. Would quarter-inch plywood be satisfactory for panels below? What would you advise to use on walls above chair rails so that paper can be applied? Answer: Quarter-inch plywood will do, but three-eighths thickness would be better. Finish the wall above the chair rail with a gypsum wall- board, following manufacturer’s in structions on nailing and filling the joints.• • a Damage From Ivy Question: The walls of my house are asbestos shingles with a con crete block foundation extending 214 feet above the ground. The drive is so close to the house that nothing can be planted alongside it except a closely clinging vine. Would a vine such as Boston ivy injure the concrete or the shingles? Answer: The runners would not harm the concrete, but they might work in under the shingles mid loos en them. I should not advise it* * • Paper Feels OS Question: Paper peels off around our big chimney; I do not think it is from dampness. What will prevent this? Answer: Fur out the wall area around the chimney and fasten gypsum wallboard on the furring strips. Wallpaper can then be applied to the board after the proper coat of sizing has been put on.• • • * Landscaping Question: Where can I get infor mation on inexpensive landscaping?

W ells St. Ghieage Whale Swims Underwater W ith Its Mouth Open You know that a whale breathes air through its nostrils, just as you do. But you also know, if yon are a swimmer, that you keep your mouth closed while you are under water. Not so the whale. It swims with its mouth open, so that it can collect the huge quan tities of small fish and sea crea tures that it needs for food. How’s it done? Nature has provided the whale with a longer windpipe, reaching the nostril opening at the back of the mouth. Thus, although it can swim along with its mouth opes and full 6f water, none can get into the .lungs. Incidentally, the quantity of food! that a whale consumes is enor mous. Whalers tell us that the stomachs are often full to burst- ing-point, and the contents would amount to several carloads! !

It may PaafiJs H orizon unI il1949 in the Pacific, he says, and he knows- plenty about the Far Sast, and Tokyo in particular. He was in Japan all the time the United States was in fiie last war. He went out there as naval attache to the American em bassy in January, 1915, and stayed four years. His government handed him the Navy Cross for what he accomplished, and Japan, being one of the Allies in those days, passed him a decoration, too, the Third Order of the Sacred Treasure. This is the third war in which this native New Yorker, now 63, has had a hand. He had en tered the Naval academy In 1895 at the ripe young age of 15, and while still a middie he served in the North Atlantic aboard the VSS Texas in the scrap with Spain. When the war was over, he went back to Annapolis, graduating in 1899. Since returning from Tokyo, he attended the Na val War college. What’s more he went to the Army War col lege, too. Back in the mid-Twenties some of his flying officers got his sea dog dander up when they tried to tell him that the orders he gave couldn’t be carried out. He promptly had himself assigned for training with the air arm at Pensacola, and in 1926 he was qualified as a naval aviation observer. Later he com manded the aircraft carrier Sara toga. Since March, 1942, he has been one of Admiral King’s right bowers in planning sea operations. Planes are his specialty. TF Katharine F.

This child shall grow to meet thee only; None of the hundred other deaths shall harm him.” Children have been Miss Lenroot’s concern for 30 years and on, and though progress must seem slow she probably would agree that in her time some of those hundred other deaths have been scotched. Just back from Sonth America she notes that there also at least a few have been; nnder-privi- leged children receive low- priced, even free food; medical care spreads. It is 13 years since she was last in Sonth America and she found a change so great "I could hardly believe my eyes.” . Ever since she went into the children’s bureau of the department of labor, Miss Lenroot has had a strong interest in South America. She is well known there, and speaks Span ish fluently enough to make an easy way from the plateau cities of New Granada to low-lying and windy Punta Arenas, though she might be more comfortable if she stopped at Buenos Aires. Children everywhere have been Miss Lenroot’s strongest inter est ever since she came ont of the University of Wisconsin. Even earlier she was badgering that state’s legislature in their behalf. After graduation, a novice lawyer, she hired out as a deputy industrial commissioner, but after a couple of years found her life work with the federal bureau at Washington. She has been its chief for ten years, and is an authority on its multitude of problems. She is a systematic chief pnd calm, but if the objective is big enough she can make a final drive as headlong as this fellow Patton, .I c , now all over She Exposed the gicily.

If she were saying that now she might put it ironically that they are as ex pendable as P-T boat crews at Cor- regidor. Her arsenal of facts and figures is inexhaustible. It would stretch from here to there and back again. This is not to say that she is dull. Her sense of humor is keen and catholic and her public utterances can amuse as well as devastate, and her voice can charm. She comes from northern Wisconsin where those cold, winds off bleak Lake Su perior, or something, ail too often put an edge on native voices, but hers is low and agreeable. The figure that encloses the voice is on the stocky side, topped by loosely dressed hair that used to be blonde, about half way between a Harlow platinum and Bette Davis’ middling locks.

A SERIES O f SPECIAL ARTICLES BYTHE LEADING AR CORRESPONDENTS Sub Hunting By James Hinhfield ( WNU Feature-Througb special arrangement with The Amerieau Magazine.) I was on the bridge of the coast guard cutter Campbell, escorting a big convoy, when there came a message, reporting a submarine 25 'miles south of us. We charged full speed for the spot. Whether we got that first subma rine I don’t know—you seldom know —but we didn’t have time to worry about it. A signal crackled through from another vessel of the escort, a British corvette. With a sister cor vette she was attacking another U-boat she had picked op on her sound gear. With the two corvettes we eon* verged like arrows on the U-boat. Over a wide area we sowed ash- cans. The sea went mad with gey* sers. Then a great patch of Diesel oil appeared on the sea. It smells like kerosene, bnt to a submarine hunter’s nostrils it is sweeter than violets, for it means that a U-boat has been sunk or damaged. From engine-room to bridge there was joy in the Campbell. Whole Convoy Attacked. It was then about I p. m., and very black. After a final search of the area, we ran back toward the convoy. Presently a splotch of cold, white light appeared on the horizon. It grew brighter as we drew nearer, and we heard the rumble of distant explosions. My heart sank. Those lights meant the whole convoy was under attack. Escort ships were throwing up star shells to light the sea better to fight off the raiders. Leaving the slower corvettes in our wake we raced for the convoy, but before we reached it another message came in from the escort commander. It confirmed my fears. Several ships had been attacked. One had fallen behind. The Camp bell was to go to the rescue. I didn’t like leaving the convoy just then, but orders are orders. Foam boiled under our keel as we reversed course. An hour or so lat er we found the ship 10 miles astern of the convoy. She was just sitting there in the darkness. As we sight ed her, a tall tower of water erupted on her port side. The ship was un der attack. Hole Torn in Campbell. Soon we were under attack our selves. An explosion tore a great hole in the water just astern of the Campbell. It was mighty close. It really shook us up. It sounded as though we were on the inside of an iron boiler which had been slammed with a sledge hammer. I waited on edge, for a-second one. Then our lookouts spotted the U-boat which was throwing the stuff. It was on the surface about a mile away. Through the eerie light of early morning we could make out the cream of her wake and a faint haze-from her Diesels. The Camp bell bore down on her like a terrier after a rat. The rat showed no inclination to fight it oat. Oar guns were just opening when the craft submerged. We dropped a pattern of depth charges, and a few minutes later were again rewarded with that blessed fragrance of Diesel oil. It was the third submarine the Camp bell had .engaged in less than 12 hours. About midmoming, our sound gear picked up another submarine. Sub Crash-Dived. I ran to the starboard side of the bridge, where the men stood point ing. The periscope had vanished. The submarine had crash-dived. We gave it the works. When it was all over I happened to notice the lookout who had given the alarm. He was beaming like a happy ape. I had forgotten our prize fund for the men who spotted submarines. Before the end of that-voyage, our treasury was exhausted. ■ It was high noon when the Camp bell encountered -her fifth Jerry. It was oh the surface, about three miles away, and must have bad some foolish notion it could outrun us. It soon found that it couldn’t, and submerged in a hurry. Again we laid down a pattern of depth charges. Later that night we sighted our sixth. It was on thesurface, about SOO yards off the starboard bow. For the 12th time in a little more than 24 hours, our gongs clanged "general quarters.” The men sprang to their battle stations. We swung hard right to ram. Tlie CampbeU raced down on the sub with guns blazing at point-blank range. We really caught that U-boat napping. It was a big one with a large conning tower and heavy armament. We could see men on 'the deck. Shouting wildly, they tried to bring a deck gun into action. They never had a chance. We raked their deck from stem to stern with machine- gun fire.

PETER LORRE enjoys a suc cessful romance for almost the first time in his villainous career in Warner Bros.’ “The Constant Nymph” ; he marries Brenda Marshall. But he .found it hard to get out of character. “When I reached into my pocket for the ring, to marry Brenda,” said he, “I whipped it out like it was my customary gun and almost tried to shoot her with it!” Very young men who rebel at hav ing to trudge along behind lawn mowers these summer days ought to know Paul Whiteman’s story. As a youngster he so hated to prac tice on his violin that he smashed a $60 instrument against the music PAUL WHITEMAN stand. His father made him mow the lawn, at 25 cents a session, till he’d paid for the fiddle. After that his parents gave in and decided that maybe he waSh’t cut out for a musical career—and he took up the violin in earnest! Charles Coburn, who long ago es tablished himself as one of the bet ter actors of the legitimate stage, arrived in New Xork recently to find a different kind of fame await ing him; three of his pictures were running at once—“The More the Merrier,” "The. Constant Nymph” and “Heaven Can Wait.” While directing “This Is the Army” Mike Ctfrtiz also invented new military commands. During a location trip to Fort MacArthur some of the Fort’s soldiers were within his camera range for a shot. He grabbed the microphone and yelled, “You men back there by the house! Attention! Take a powder!” When John Warburton decided to return to pictures after an absence of six years, the studios just weren't interested. Then he was tested and signed for the featured role of Gary Cooper’s rival in “Saratoga Trunk," and immediately offers began to pour in; two studios wanted him “right away.” »«.,War.JJpnet*, Warren William, back at work in “Passage to Suez,” after months of illness, has the farm labor shortage to thank for his present excellent physical condition.

Think of the good cheer in a spar kling, quivery dish of jelly to go with your golden brown biscuits or rolls in the cold of winter. Do you need more than that to start you on a spree of jel ly - making? My guess is no.There’s a great interest in jelly- making in spite of sugar rationing, for many is the smart homemaker who realizes what a spark and zest those little bits of bright-colored jel ly can lend to wartime meals. So, go out into the berry patch, and let’s get started on a batch of jelly.Cherries, plums and blackberries are coming into season and make splendid jellies. They’re all easy to handle and make nice, rich, luscious jellies:•Ripe Sweet Cherry Jam. (Makes 7 frounce glasses) 3)4 cups prepared fruit 4 cups sugar I box powdered fruit pectin To prepare fruit, pit about 2% pounds fully ripe cherries. Crush thoroughly or grind. .If a stronger cherry flavor is desired, add a few crushed cherry pits to fruit during cooking. Measure sugar into dry dish and set aside until needed.

Remove from fire. Skim. Pour at once into sterilized jelly glasses and paraffin at once. *Ripe Plum Jelly. (Makes 7 medium glasses) 3 cups juice 4 cups sugar I box powdered fruit pectin To prepare fruit, crush about 3 pounds fully ripe plums. Do not peel or pit them. Add Va cup wa ter, bring to a boil and simmer 10 minutes. Place fruit in jelly bag or cloth, and squeeze out juice. Add small amount of water to pulp in jelly cloth and squeeze again, if there is a slight shortage of juice.Measure sugar into dry dish and set aside. Measure juice into sauce pan. Place over hottest fire. Add powdered fruit pectin, mix well and continue stir ring until mixture comes to a hard boil. Pour in sug ar at once, stir ring constantly. e'aa,. Lynn Says; Jelly Fornm: Pectin is the magic ingredient that makes jam “jam” and jelly “jell.” There must be a just right amount of it. Pectin is a natural jellying substance found in fruits and berries, but when the fruit or berry is shy on it, a liquid or pow dered form of pectin may be added. Jams and jellies may be kept for various lengths of time, but for best practical purposes it is best not to try to keep them for over a year.Melt paraffin for jelly in a small pot over boiling water. Par affin should not be smoking hot because it might lend a disagreeable odor to the jelly or jam. It’s possible to put up fruit juice to be made into jelly later if you do not have enough sugar to do it during the summer. Prepare fruit according to directions giv en in the jelly recipes but do not add water to the recipe. Squeeze the juice in a jelly bag if it is for jelly. Fill hot sterile jars with juice and process in a boil ing water bath for 20 minutes.

GOLDEN TEXT—Thou Shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with aU thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with aU thy m ind; an d -th y neighbor as thy- sell.—Luke 10:27. Our God is a God of order. To have order we must have law, hence God gave His people not only the fundamental law of humanity’s moral sense of right -and wrong, and the Ten Commandments which are the basis of all codes of law, but also those detailed regulations needed for the law’s interpretation. The law of God was not intended to establish a legalistic system of salvation by work, but, as revealed in the-New Testament, it was to guide and bring us to Christ, in whom it finds its true fulfillment. These ere matters of fundamental importance and suggest the need of a careful study of our three Scrip ture portions. I. Tfie Law Established (Exod. 23:1-9). At Sinai the Israelites were brought into the presence of God in a dramatic and solemn assembly to hear the words of God from the mountain. These were later writ ten as the Ten Commandments on the tables of stone. Here they learned in a new way of the maj esty, the righteousness, and the love of God. The Ten Commandments are recognized as the foundation on which all legal codes, ancient and modem, are built. They cover man’s relation to God and his relation to his fellow man. They are unsur passed as a comprehensive and compact statement of the moral law. The passage in .Exodus 23 gives us some of the rules and regula tions for daily life which are in a sense an interpretation of the law. This portion gives us an idea of the type of laws provided by God for His people and reveals “the moral flavor of the whole divine legisla tion.” The thing which impresses us as we read of the divine requirements of justice toward all, of love for one’s enemies, of refraining from false witness, of refusing all brib ery, is that God’s standards are very high. God’s law is good, it is right, of divine quality and perfect purity. It has, however, an even higher pur pose than providing direction for life. We learn of that as we hear II. The Law Described (Gal. 3:23- 28).. What was the purpose of the law? It was and is a servant of God to lead the needy sinner to Christ. The word “tutor” in verse -24 does not refer to one who teaches, but the servant who saw to it that the school boy, possibly a bit reluctant, arrived at his' destination.The law convicts of sin and makes it evident to the repentant one that he needs divine help if he is ever to meet its demands. The law real ly puts a man in prison (kept in ward,” y. 23), and makes him look to Christ to set him free. When one trusts Christ he comes into the place of a son. He enters upon a spiritual maturity which makes it no longer necessary to have a tutor directing and disciplin ing him. He has entered into a new relationship by faith, and is a child of God. Does this mean that the law has been set aside or abrogated? Not at. all. Jesus Himself said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law .. . I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill” (Matt. 5:17). This is our third point. m . The Law Fulfilled (Gal. 5:13, 14).Paul had warned against the folly of legalism. InChristmen arefree from a slavish bondage to the law. But menv desiring to substitute li cense for liberty, were using the grace of God as an excuse for self- indulgence and sin. Christ has set aside all the cere monial requirements of the law, for He became the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice for sin, which was infinite ly superior to all the offerings of the Old Testament law. He thus ful filled the type of the offerings. The moral requirements of the law were gathered up iii Him, and in Him we have only one law to ful fill, the law of love. Obedience to that law meets all the moral re quirements of the Old Testament taw. Liberty to the Christian is not a freedom to do as he pleases, not "an occasion to the flesh” that it may live in selfishness and sin. We are free only to be bound by the blessed law of love. - The tablets of stone were (and still are) important Their laws have never been set aside or with drawn. But in Christ God has done what He spoke of through Jere miah the prophet, He has put His law in the Christian’s inner being, and has written it in his heart. (Jer. 31:33).

Kid ‘Stare’ Aren’t New; Appeared Back in 1803 When we read of the big sums earned by the various kiddies in the movies, don’t think it’s some thing new. William Henry West Betty made his debut as an actor in 1803, at the age of 11, and was such a success that he collected $170,000 in 56 nights. When he appeared at Covent Garden Opera house in England, the crush was so great that the troops were called out to keep or der. He was presented to royalty, and on one occasion, when he was playing “Hamlet,” the house of commons was specially adjourned so that members could see his per formance. There aren’t any facts about his fan mail, but the autographs it contained must have been worth quite a bit, too! He died on August 24, 1874.

Xou never actually "bid” against anybody for a porter house steak, but when you take the spending of aU average Americans as • group, it's a different story. So it is im portant that excess money be saved rather than used collec tively to Md up prices. If it Is spent, instead of saved, prices soar. . . That’s inflation.

Cover with hot water and cook oiling hot—this won’t break jars that nave been covered with lukewarm water, heated to boiling and kept hot until needed. 6. Leave about an inch space at the top when filling the jar: 'add % teaspoon salt to each pint. Pint jars are best for peas and shelled beans because the heat reaches the center of the pack more quickly but whether pints or quarts are used, be sure to have enough water to insure quick heating all the way to the center of the jar. Seal or partly seal jars, depending upon type used; then put into the canner as quickly as possible and process the correct lengtti of time. Young, tender, green as take SO minutes; blackeyed and Id peas, limas and butter beans are processed .60 minutes at 10 pounds pressure. If no pressure cooker is available, process (boil) 3% hours in hot-waier bath canner. Use the same time for pint and quart jars. Nofiiing larger than a quart is safe for canning non-acid vegetables.The bacteria that cause spoilage in peas and beans thrive in the tem- Few . . . Some like them hot, some like them cold, but nearly everybody likes them canned, or so claims Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director of Ball Brothers Company. Not everybody likes green or “English” peas and that’s all right because there are plenty other peas of different color and flavor.AU kinds of peas, lima beans, and< - butter beans are canned the same ‘ way. AU should be picked and canned the very day the pods are full enough to be shelled. At that time they will be from small to medium size, tender and sweet. Peas and beans begin to lose flavor and food value as soon as pulled from the vine and are likely to spoil if time is wasted between gathering, preparing, and canning. Flat sour and all other spoilage can be avoided by paying strict attention to canning rules, Yes, Rules, they are as simple as this: I. Oiedc over jars and lids the day before the canning is done. Et glass top seals or two-piece metal vacuum seals are to be used, examine the top edges of the jars—the slightest flaw may cause you to have to do work over. The same is true of the sealing surface of glass Uds. If there is any doubt as to the tension of the wires on "lightning” jars, fill them with hot water, seal, let stand until cold, then hold upside down and examine for leaks, and don’t forget to wash jars, caps and rubbers clean.2. Use young, tender, freshly gath ered vegetables—and they won t be fresh after being out of the garden all night. 8.

Co. perature that makes you say ‘•Whew, ain’t it hot in here!” The quicker you make it too hot for bacteria, the better. So, don’t piddle around when canning vegetables or anything else for that matter. If you have no pressure cooker, use a water-bath canner (never an oven or a steamer for vegetables). And remember to boil beans and peas IS minutes before tasting them— even if a pressure cooker is used— for about once in a million or so times, a toxin forms in non-acid foods. Such toxin can be destroyed by boiling.. Failure to take this precaution has been known to cause serious illness. Eeboil non-acid vegetables left over from one meal to another.To use a water bath right: Have the water steaming hot and deep enough to cover the tops of the jars two or more inches when they are put into the canner. Get the water boiling as quickly as possible and keep it boiling steadily every minute of the time called for in the recipe. Take the jars out of the canner as soon as they have processed long enough; complete the seal on all jars that require it (aU except two - piece vacuum seals should be partly sealed before and completely sealed after processing— the vacuum seals are sealed before only); stand the jars far apart on a cloth or folded newspaper to cool. Make sure every jar is sealed when put away for winter and, believe it or not, were will come a day when you will say “I didn’t dream it possible that canned peas could taste so much like garden fresh ones.” ZHe c/uzirma*L, Cf tfi& lfouse JfauaJL CCTHUtoittgl Teports tfdt,after Uwr&tiy/y invEStupcrtioK, cmty- 5 percent o f the aw r coritrzicfrrKs U r e H ir fh u M c L T tta & n ?

Charges Army Shovel ed Spads Onto City Damp Vincennes, Ind. — Representative Landis (R-Ind) says that 37 carloads of potatoes, which be said were gov ernment owned and which he valued at $60,000. were shoveled from army trucks onto Vincennes city dump. Landis asserted that he had tele graphed a demand to War Food Ad ministration Marvin Jones for an investigation of the dumping of the potatoes, many of which were pick ed up by residents. Some placed the- spuds on sale for $1 a bushel. Landis said. Declaring it was a “fitting exam ple of new deal blundering,’’ Landis, in a statement. ‘ I want to get at the bottom of this thing and find out who is responsible for this waste of government money.” “More potatoes were lost . . . than were grown in all the victory gardens of Knox County,” Landis said.

FDR itufA: Payroll savings is our greatest single factor in protecting onrselves against inflation. “Not A Race Riot” Mayor LaGuerdia says that the tioting in Harlem which resulted In six deaths and injuries to more than a half a thousand, was not a "race riot” but the work of hood lums. If the details as reflected In the news stories are correct, the mayor is right. It was not a race riot. Bnt doesn’t that throw the responsibility smack into the laps of the Negroes. But it had to have a Southern flavor, somebody had to connect it with the South and show that the disturbance stemmed from the grass roots of race prejudice down here. And so Walter White, secretary of the National Association fo r the Advancement of Colored People came forward with this explana tion: “The mistreatment of Ne gro soldiers, particularity in the South, is a terribly sore point with Negroes, and thus the beginning of the trouble.” Walter White got that idea from the fact that a New York patrol man in arresting a Negro woman for disorderly conduct charge, had his nightstick snatched from him by a Negro soldier who beat him over the bead with it until stopped by a bullet in the shoulder from the of ficer’s service revolver. That was the "mistreatment” connection so conveniently worked out by the self-appointed custodian of th e rights of the colored man who is johnny on the spot when any sort of trouble develops. ‘ We sympathize with Npw York in what leaders there call its "shame.” Buc we do wish they’d take their difficulties standing up and not try to alibi out of it. A New York magistrate, proud of Harlem's peacefulness in days agone remarks "N ow, of late, on the slightest provocation large numbers are moved to disorder, as If giving expression to some pent up feeling. It seems to me some insidious pro paganda is misleading otherwise peaceful people.” Chances are be is right, and if those with authority and ambitious to get at the roots of the trouble, would set out to run down the facts, they'd probably wind up in the pretentious head quarters of a certain pestiferous or ganization in Washington. Detroit has bad its fling. New York has been embarrassed. Both are up nawth. the wonderful mecca of Negroes seeking relief from the persecutions in the South. Maybe these difficulties will bring their re compense in a better understanding of what the race problem really is —Statesville Daily. The Axis Stops at Nothing.

The Raleigb News and Observerj commenting acidly on the fact that many draft eligibles are still hold ing down "bomb-proof” federal jobs relates an incident which oc cuTred in Raleigh some time ago. A strong looking' young man a- roond 23, who bad become a mem ber of the F. B. I. came to Raleigh to investigate a man suspected— but unfairly—of friendliness with Nazis. He approached a plain spoken citizen to obtain some in formation about the suspect. “The older gentleman asked the F. B. I. investigator, ‘How old are you?’ When be answered '25 years,’ the Raleigh citizen asked, ‘Why are you uot in the army instead oi in this bomb-proof job?’ Theyoung man was offended. The Raleigh citizen said, ‘I advise you if you wish to be able to look yourself in the face when the war is aver to get into uniform at once.1 Tbe young man was indignant and de parted. but he knew what civilians thought of his dodging the draft.” The Raleigh paper and the Citir zen it mentioued may be a bit too tough on the F. B. I. man. These boys oftimes face death in their pursuit oi gangsters, desperadoes and enemy agents. However, the advice of the Raleigh man to the young man is applicable to. any “draft dodgers” who have jumped into various “ war effort,” religious or other “bomb-proof” positions, services 01 categories, primarly in order to escape military service in combat zones. To these men, we hope that they are very few in number, the day will come, no doubt, when they will be ashamed to look themselves in the face. Assuredly, there - will come a time when men who fought will look at them curiously, with the statement of King Henry IV coming to mind: “Ga hang your self brave Crillonl We fought at Atques and you were not there!” Cbioa Relief Fuad During tbefirst Bix months of 1943 United China Relief sent to China $3 751,683 23 This is $378,161 more than was sent the first six months of 1942 and money was sent by radio through the Bank of Ch na.

Thompson) I have often thought of Abra ham Lincoln’s experience in pray er. You remember he said: “I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming convic tion that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all a- bout me seemed insufficient for that day.” It is telling no secret when we say that his experience has cor- robated our own. Many times we have exhausted our resources and come to the end of onr ingenuity and skill and power. We have heen driven to God by the imper iousness of our necessities and onr insufficiencies. Danlei found him self face to face with a royal stat ute that the king bad issued to the effect that if any one in all the realm would ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of the king, be should be cast into the den of lions. Daniel knew that tais writing signed by the king was a law according to the Medes and Persians, which altereth not but in spite of its threats and its penalties the intrepid Daniel went into bis house and his windows being open toward Jerusalem, kneeled upon bis knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks to God. From his standpoint there was nothing else for him to do. He must either be for or against him. Could he afford to affront God? Could be afford to insult him by. cowardice? Some of my reade s have failed to pray when trouble came. None of us have prayed enough. Often onr greatest sins are sins of omission. Tne flaming battlefields and the bursting bombs and the crashing torpedoes are driving many ■' of us to our knees. As a matter of fact there is no other place to go.

Playrag With Fire— The coal miners have agreed to work nntil next October with pro viso that mines remain under gov ernment jurisdiction. They appear to feel that a state of socialism in the coal industry bereft of wage negotiations, is preferable to the bargaining process between em ploye inherent under the. American system of free enterprise. Commenting on such “arrange ments,” the Saturday evening Post, observes: “Up to now, the only means of enforcement considered available when a strike menaces war production, is to seize the fac tory or the mine in which a strike is threatened. In other words we meet the situation, not by punish ing the individual who refused to arbitrate or negotiate and ordered ed the strike, but by taking over the property of his employer who may have obeyed all ‘directives,’ a- greed to every proposal to nego tiate and conduct himself in a gen erally responsible manner. The re sult, if logic guided all such trans. actions, would be' that the govern ment to seize industry, could at tain their heart’s desire simply by tormenting enough strikes!” Blame for interrupted coal pro duction rests on Federal govern ment Until onesided legislation such as the Wagner Act is correct ed. giving both employer and em ploye equal rights; until the pre sent administration abandons ex pediency in labor matters, until top officials in the Federal government stod putting political careers ahead of country, injustice and the trend toward socialism will continue. And as socialism broadens its grip, Ia bor onions march toward oblivion, as in dictator nations where state socialism has displaced both labor unions and private enterprise.

Back at the turn of the century no Boer military leader fought the British more bitterly than did this now bald and grizzled war rior of 73. Often hungry, often shoe less, he waged guerrilla warfare of the toughest sort then. Since that fighting ended, however, he has bat tled steadfastly on the side of the Empire. It was he who crushed a Boer uprising at the start of World War I and went on to conquer the Germans in East Africa and become a British general. He saved Sooth Africa for the Unit ed Nations, too, In 1939, routing the pro-Nazi forces of the late Gen. J. B. M. Hertzog at the polls to become prime minister for the second time after a IS year lapse. His latest victory keeps South Africa firmly In the war. Son of a poor and tough Dutch farmer, who trekked across the iveldt with a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other, Smuts had reached his teens before he could read. Later he won high honors as a student at Cambridge university. Today with his pointed beard whit ened by age he is still a paradox, a hard and cunning and skillful fight er and a philosopher who dares dream of a peaceful world. What’s more he plans and works for that world even as he fights.

Commander McAfee’s name of record is Mildred Helen; bnt usually it is plain Mildred, the “Helen” being silent, as in Troy these, last 3,300 years. To Wellesley undergraduates she was Miss Mac. The WAVES, pertly aping the real navy, call her the Old Man, a title that skirts the reefs of libel, since the commander is a mere 43 and not mannish. Trim, yes! Per haps even a trifle prim. Bnt her hair is black, short-cut and crinkly; her cheeks pass inspec tion easily with only a powder- puff’s help—and her eyes! Her smile is lively, when it comes. And from any compass point she is not bad, not bad at all. On the day she was sworn in, her smile seemed a little ironic while beaming Secretary Knox admini tered the oath. Maybe, however, t was only held In check by her usual reserve. The commander is a preacher daughter and was bom in Missoui.. She studied at Vassar and Chicago and taught through French, Eng lish, economics and sociology be fore she reached the presidency of Wellesley. In spite of the powder puff which is her limit, she wants her WAVES "to look human.” '117' ORD comes out of Sicily that ' ' the jeep, that mechanical jack- rabbit of the American army, is PresentingtoYoa nowherdtoS Delmar G.

Robert Howie’s dream, bnt if anyone deserves to be called the jeep’s daddy it is probably Barney. He was working on it as early as the spring of 1940. Roos is a past president of the Society of Automotive Engineers and has had an adoring eye for engines of some sort ever since he cut classes to visit a roundhouse in the Bronx. He was bom in New York 56 years ago, studied engineer ing at Cornell and won a hatful of fencing titles. His professional career has taken him into General Electric, Loco mobile, Pierce Arrow, Marmon, Du rant, Studebaker and WiIlys-Over- Iand to say nothing of a tie-in with various English automobile plants. In the First World war he designed special staff cars for Pershing and worked on the Liberty motor. He is powerfully built, able to go fast at tennis and badminton. Mar ried, he has three daughters and a 19-year-old son. He still cannot re sist a roundhouse, and climbs into the cab of any locomotive on any invitation. 9 Boys who have been made wards of the juvenile court in Califoniia are being sent to a forestry camp In Calaveras Staite park if a check of their records and behavior indicates they are worthy of an opportunity.

A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BYTHE LEADING AR CORRESPONDENTS Japan’s “Con” Man B y Clark Lee (WNU Feature—Through special arrangement with Collier's Weekly) It you should twirl the short-wave dials of your radio one of these nights and hear an annoilncer say: “This is Colonel Jiro Saito speaking from Manila,” listen carefully! The voice will be that of Japan’s ace undercover man,, a man you should know if you are to understand how the Tokyo war lords operate, how they are using every possible weapon in their bid for world con quest—trickery as well as troops; propaganda, bribery, fifth colum- nism and intrigue as well as sub marines and airplanes. And more important, it will be Jiro Saito or somebody very much like him whom the Japs will call on when they are eventually forced to cry “uncle” to Uncle Sam. The Japs don’t expect to win their war to conquer the world all'at once. What they want now In the Pacific is a stalemate and a negotiated peace that will let them keep part of what they have taken aud give Hiem time to prepare for the next step toward world mastery.When the situation looks ripe, they will “depose" the militarists, put in a “conservative” cabinet of busi ness men and one-time friends of America. They will produce men like Jiro Saito to plead their case, shy, soft-spoken, “so-sorry-for-you” fellows, who will attempt to con vince the United States that it was all a mistake and let’s be friends again. When you listen to Jiro Saito’s smooth, cultivated voice, speaking in grammatically perfect English, with just an occasional suggestion of Honolulu “pidgin,” you will be hear ing a man who exemplifies Japanese deceit. Saito is a medium-sized, ro tund man of 48, with powerful neck and shoulders and with hair trimmed close to his broad pate in traditional Japanese army style. He looks like a typical Jap, but doesn’t act like one. He spent his early years in Honolulu. Started Two Wars. There is nothing of the sword rat tler or swashbuckler about him. On the contrary, he is extremely shy. Meeting him in peacetime, you would have thought him a nice, pleasant character, totally unlike the average run of Jap army officer. But Saito has started two wars and stopped one. In his wake, there has always been a trail of bloodshed find tragedy. He was—and undoubt edly still is—the Japanese army’s first expert on American psychology, its star secret agent, and a one-man fifth column. You can scarcely stick a pin any where in the map of Asia without touching a region that has felt Saito’s influence; and for the past decade and longer, a large part of Asia has been bathed in blood. Even so, there is no blood on Saito’s own pudgy hands. He always gets out of a place before the shooting and bombing start, or he goes In after they have stopped. Indeed, In near ly 30 years in the ill-fitting khaki of the Imperial army, he has never plunged his sword into one of the emperor’s enemies, never heard a shot fired except on maneuvers, never commanded troops in the field. The portly colonel was very popu lar with the American correspondents in Shanghai. Squatting cross- legged at a geisha party, he looked like a bronze statue of a paunchy, heavy-jowled Chinese god, benevo lent, but with a metallic quality about him. Saito was especially sentimental about the Hawaiian Islands, where his father was consul general from 1903 to 1910, and where Saito at tended private school and McKinley high, class of 1911. “I feel more at home in Honolulu than any place in the world,” the colonel told me. By the summer of 1941, Japan de cided it was time to drop the mask and take over southern Indo-China, which she needed as a jumping-off place for attacks on Singapore and the Dutch East Indies, and to pro tect her flank while she assaulted the Philippines. Once again, the advance agent of empire was—you guessed it—Jiro Saito. The colonel did his usual backstage job in Saigon, the capital of southern Indo-China. Then he emerged into the open as head of the military mission to supervise occupation of the strategic southern portion of the French colony. The occupation of Saigon finally awakened the United States to the seriousness of Japan’s penetration of southeastern Asia. But by then, it was too late. The Japanese had seized their springboards. They were ready for war. We were soon to face the tragedies of Bataan and Pearl Harbor. SKIN IRRITATIONS OP EXTERNAL CAUSE Biuenes wun duu*w Goes to w ork a t once.

A NOVEL contribution to Hollywood’s and radio’s war efforts is the “Sew and Sew” club, headed by Penny Singleton, who’s “Blondie” of the air and the screen. Penny organized the club to perform emer gency sewing jobs on servicemen’s uniforms, ranging from simple re pairs to alterations. She has enlist ed some of Hollywood’s outstanding movie and radio Iummanes as members of her unique orgamza- .ttrm —i PENNT SINGLETON tion. And anyone who encounters thousands of servicemen on leave in a strange city will realize how valuable it is. Joe Howard, perhaps the oldest performer in radio, is still one of the most successful, judging by a deal that he recently completed. Joe, singing troubador of the “Gay Nineties Revue,” over CBS Monday nights, sold Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer the film rights to “The Time, the Place and the Girl,” a hit musical which he wrote and produced sev eral decades ago. On July 18 Dick Haymes made his debut on the air’s “Here’s to Romance.” July 19 be made screen tests. At one o’clock on the 26th, 30th Centnry-Fox executives looked at the tests—and at 4:30 Haymes signed a contract to make two films a year for the next seven years. Three months ago he was singing With Tommy Dorsey’s band. -3K- Hollywood’s oddest summer school is composed of four students—Bon ita Granville, Anne Shirley, Hent Smith and Rita Corday.

Their teacher is Edward Dmytryk; he’s the director who, following his success with “Hitter’s Children,” was signed to direct RKO’s “Behind the Rising Sun.” He began studying Chinese some years ago. — * — Lou Crosby, radio announcer, will make his film debut as a Nazi sol dier captured by Russian guerrillas in “One Hour of Glory,” Casey Rob inson production for RKO. Announc er for the Lum 'n Abner program, Crosby has one of radio’s best speaking voices. Most radio executives think that summer radio fare should be light and frothy to succeed, but the latest survey figures indicate that the pub lic doesn’t agree. “Screen Guild Players,” Monday night CBS dra matic series that stars Hollywood’s top names, leads all the others in listener popularity, according to Hooper and Crossley survey figures. This is the program on which none of the actors and actresses are paid; the money they would ordinarily re ceive goes to the Screen Actors guild, to aid indigent movie people. — *— Betty Rhodes has begun making her second Personal Album for OWX.

Dse leftovers from a roast with a few fresh vegetables and gravy to tuck inside the flaky piecrust. Short on red points at the end of the week? There are several an swers to the problem and I’m devot ing the column to those suggestions today. It’s a good idea to be smart in your use of leftovers, and this is particularly true if you’ve splurged at the beginning of the week by p u rc h a sin g a roast. After using the roast twice, you still have a bit of meat left on the bones, and if you fix it with an eye to camouflage, you can have a savory meal out of it. Best way of extending meat when there’s little enough of that is by using vegetables generously. Cut off what pieces of meat you can find on the bone and combine these with some lovely, fresh-cooked vegeta bles such as carrots, peas, onions, potatoes and perhaps a few strips of green pepper for flavor. Com bine all together with some of your favorite seasonings and tuck the whole mixture into these individual meat pies. In this way, your left overs won’t languish in the refrig erator.Maldng Meat Pies. Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour and % teaspoon salt. Cut into this % cup lard with spatula and work until the particles are the size of a small pea. Sprinkle 4' table spoons water over the mixture, working it lightly with a fork until all the particles are moistened and in small lumps. Press dough into a ball, handling as little as possible. Flour board lightly. Divide pastry in half, roll lightty to an eighth-inch thickness. Using a 3!&-inch pie plate, cut circles from pastry.

Roll out remaining dough, cut in circles to fit over top of each muffin tin. Press edges of crust together. Bake in a hot oven (400 degrees) 35 minutes. Remove from tins and serve hot.

It’s important to plan your day ahead so that it runs smooth ly and so there will be a mini mum of confusion—for that al ways makes weather hotter. Dress cool, eat cool. Dress sensibly, keeping plenty of clean summer clothes on hand—things that can be done up with soap and water in a hurry and neecl little ironing. Crispy salads—even in the imagination—cool you off, and of course, frosty drinks. Do your hot kitchen work In the cool morning • hours. Make whatever preparations you can on the food front and store in the refrigerator, ready to pull out for dinner with a minimum of rush and hurry. Keep things simple, and you’ll keep cool.

ISRAEL’S SlN AND RESTORATION LESSOR TEXT—Exodue 32:7-10; St:4-», 27, 28.GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord 13 long-suffering and ot great m ercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression.—Num bera 14:18. God is righteous, and cannot look with approval or in forgiveness upon sin until His mercy has been stirred and set free to act by repentance. Then He whose wrath is hotly kindled against man’s transgression shows Himself as the tender and gracious God, “keeping loving-kind- ness for thousands, forgiving iniqui ty and transgression and sin.” This grace of God is fully re vealed in Christ and the redemption which He brought to man, but is prefigured in the experiences of Israel under the law. I. God’s Wrath Kindled (Exod. 32:7-10). There are those who would have us think of God as a benevolent old gentleman who is easily hoodwinked by clever sinners who can talk fast to cover their iniquity. Even if He does see it, He is supposed to be so tenderhearted that He overlooks their sin. Such folk had better read these words, “That my wrath may wax hot.” The wrath of God is a real and awful affection of the divine na ture and it is revealed against man who sins against His holy law. The special sia of Israel on this occasion was idolatry, which is the setting up of some material symbol to represent the invisible God. Moses had been with God in the mount for 40 days. He had been the Lord’s representative in their midst. His presence had evidently been the chief stabilizing influence. Having their eyes set on a man, or a material object to take His place, they had lost sight of the in visible God. So they proceeded to establish this idol which would pro vide a center of worship. At first it was evidently intended to remind them of God, but soon it led them out into heathen revelry (Exod. 32: 6 , 17, 18), Whatever a man puts between himself- and God, even though he may at first intend it to be but a reminder of God, will lead him away from God. Ritual, symbols, theol ogy, scholarship, all good in their places, may become the idols which separate present-day man from God. - n . God’s Mercy Invited (Exod. 34:4-9). Aaron had only a weak “alibi” to offer. The golden calf had prac tically made itself (see Exod. 32: 24). How quick man is to justify himself instead of admitting his guilt. No doubt our excuses sound just as silly as Aaron’s in the ears of God. Moses knew better. The sin was dealt with in drastic fashion. When one deals with a wild ravenous beast, there is one remedy—“shoot to kill.” Not only were the leaders of the wickedness slain, but the ground gold of the calf image was put into water, which all Israel drank. Thus were they all marked as sharing the guilt of this idolatry. There is a lesson here for us. America is far from God. We need to seek His face in repentance. But let us remember that we (that is, Christian men and women) are a part of America. It is our guilt, .and we ought to be on our faces be fore God, pleading for God’s mercy upon our land. Moses was now ready to seek the Lord’s mercy for his wayward people. He is the intercessor, the intermediary. God had a man who had compassion and love in his heart, and the Lord heard him. Loving-kindness and tender mercy flowed forth in place of flaming; anger. Note that God has not changed. He is the unchangeable One. 'His wrath is still hot against man’s sin, but man has repented, and moved out of God’s wrath into His love and grace. That too is always being Siown to His obedient children. m . God’s Covenant Renewed (Exod. 34:27, 28). Moses had broken the first tablets of commandments. The people had sinned and were not then ready to listen to any- word from Jehovah. But now they were prepared to re ceive it, and God renewed the cov enant as He again gave Moses the law. ' There is no need for despair In the heart of the one who deals with God. The missed opportunity for obedi ence and blessing may be gone for ever, but God is still on the giving hand ready to meet the returning prodigal, ready to give bgauty for ashes (Isa. 61:3) and to restore the years that the locust has destroyed (Joel 2:25). Amazing grace! . In the keeping of these command ments, Israel , was assured of the blessing of God. As we pointed out last week, the real fulfillment of. the law came in Jesus Christ, who did not set aside its requirements, but met them all, for all who believe in His name. 7569 jDRING color to your home with -*-* this sunflower wall hanging.

C * ( /o u NORTH C A R O L I N A tSper LOCAL SOYDBCOAATeD IN S td lY / =" GRfYHOUND SfRYts NSW W A ri RtANr i Every hour of the day headline news of overwhelming interest to every person in North Carolina is being made all over the world. But without our modern com munication systems and particularly our . newspapers it vyould be next to impossi ble to find out what’s going on. Getting even closer to home, we wouldn’t know what local boys are back on fur lough—what the ball scores are—who’s getting married and when—what’s hap pening in the comic-strip world — what events are taking place all over town. All of us should feel proud of the fine job newspapers are doing to keep North Carolina in touch with the times. IPs a strong and free press, serving free peo ple—one of the first things the dictators would suppress if they had the chance! And it would be hard to over-estimate the part played by North Carolina’s 43 daily newspapers and 187 weekly news papers in furthering the war effort. Nearly a million people buy these papers—far greater numbers read them —the whole State relies upon them for information and inspiration. For this reason Greyhound depends upon such newspapers as this one to carry its information on bus service to those North Carolinians who travel. Greyhound, in turn, carries many news papers to rural areas not served by any other transportation system. As fellow citizens of this State, the Grey hound Lines take much pleasure in help ing to make near neighbors and good neighbors of all the communities we serve in North Carolina—linking them to each other and to the test of the coun try, as newspapers da Wilkins Drug Store Phone 21 Mocksville, N.

News, has been in* ducted Into the arm y and completed the first few weeks of his training a t F ort Bragg. Before getting into the arm y, Hargrove advises selectees to “ paint Oie town red," Once In, “ the first three weeks are the hardest** so keep “ an open mind.** H argrove has had plenty of trouble learning the fundam entals of arm y life and as a result has spent a good share of his tim e on K P duty. Classified as a cook he thinks U’s good experience. His sergeant doesn’t agree. Hargrove has learned a U rge ,portion of arm y slang and is abont to enlighten the civilian on this score. CHAPTER VI When Junior comes home from camp on furlough or, for the week end, he probably will throw out his chest, pull his shoulders almost out of joint, and speak a sort of jargon entirely unintelligible to you. There is no cause for alarm; Junior is merely exaggerating to show off his familiarity with military life. You will not be consoled by this knowledge when he begins speaking this unknown tongue. In order to understand some of his conversa tion, you might tear out this page and tuck it away in the drawer with your recipes and patterns. Goldbricking is an Army term sig nifying in a word, loafihg. In its strictest sense, it means avoiding your fair share of the work, thus making the load harder for the oth er boys. When Junior uses the term, however, it merely means hid ing from the work in the first place or stretching an easy job out to make it last as long as possible. Batting the breeze is the military equivalent of "bullshooting.” Police, as nearly as it can be ex plained, means “to clean up’’ or “to keep clean.” Examples are kitchen police, or kaypee, canteen police, and police the area. Fatigue duty is work that is not actual military training, but a part of the turnabout method of getting the dirty work done. Fatigue clothes are the blue denims worn for extra duty. Regular uniforms are called OD’s, an abbreviation for “olive drab.” GI is short for “Government Is sue." GI soap is the yellow laundry soap, a GI brush is a hard-bristie scrubbing brush, and a GI haircut is the regulation style which sac rifices two-thirds of Junior’s wavy locks to cleanliness and sanitation. The PX is the post exchange, or canteen, a co-operative enterprise which sells practically everything the soldier needs. Three times a month, canteen books of credit tickets may be obtained in denomina tions from one to five dollars. Ten per cent of the proceeds from these are returned to the battery fund, which is used to buy nonessentials for the battery. The old man is the battery com mander, who may also be referred to among yourselves as the BC or the skipper. The top kick is a first sergeant, the chief of the battery’s noncommissioned officers. Jawbone is an apt word meaning “credit.” A Jawbone corporal is an acting corporal, who has neither the rating nor the pay of a corporal. Over the hill is an artistic way of referring to unauthorized absence. This is another expression for AWOL. Food is chow or mess. Stew is slum or slumgullion. Salt pork, which you rarely see in the Army, “Over the hill is an artistic way of referring to unauthorized absence —AWOL.” is called lamb chop. “They lam it against the wall to get the salt out of it and then they chop it up into the beans.” To fall out, soldiers vacate the barracks quickly, before the sergeant gets really mad. To fall in, they take their places in ranks. A yardbird is the lowest form of animal life in an Army camp. Under the common law, he is rated as one rank below a buck private. The yardbird, for this misdeed or that shortcoming, spends most of his time in menial labor about the battery area.When Junior refers to a yardbird, you will notice, he is invariably speaking of someone else.—Sa lt was our afternoon off and we were lying around in our barracks, too lazy to dress for a movie or a trip to the Service. Club. AU of us were, that is, except Private Zuber. With an enthusiasm and energy for eign to a cook’s afternoon off, Zuber was applying a blinding glaze to his shoes. This finished, he con nected an iron and began sharpen ing the creases in his trousers. “Going somewhere, I take it,” asked Private Clarkin, the Jersey milkman. Private Zuber grinned happily, and nodded. He donned his fresh clothing, gave his necktie several unnecessary tugs, and combed his hair for the twelfth time. Private McGlauflin, late of the Minneapolis bar, laid down his copy of the Bartender’s Guide and sat up on his bunk. “Didn’t you know? ” he asked. “Zuber’s girl’s come down from Rochester. They’re go ing riding.” “That’s a fine thing,” crowed Clarkin. “I haven’t been for a spin since I’ve been here. Get your I shoes on, Hargrove. And straight- i en your name plate, McGlauflin. We i must make a good impression on our I guest ...” —IS— “You sure are a pleasant surprise, ma’m,” Clarkin prattled on I to the pretty girl in the front seat. I “Fancy Ben Zuber even knowing anybody like you. You should see the homely looking things he brings j to the dances here.” I She smUed a polite thank-you at Clarkin and glanced sharply at Zu ber. “I never could even get him to the dances at home,” she said. “He wouldn’t even look at the girls j at all. Would you, dear?” “No, ma’am,” groaned the mar- | tyred Zuber, who spent almost all [ his evening hours writing letters to ' Rochester. “Just to look at Ben,” said McGlauflin, “you’d never think such a quiet-seeming boy could raise so much devil. It constantly amazes me.” Private Zuber’s girl friend’s smile was not so spontaneous this time, and there was a baleful gleam in her glance at poor Benjamin. “What have you been doing, dear?” she asked with terrible gentleness. Private McGlauflin went on glib ly. “Tell her about the time you got tight in Fayetteville and tried to take the policeman’s hat away from him, Beni” The one-girl audience was shocked. Her expression, as she looked at Zuber, was one of anxiety and doubt. Clarkin began again. “And the terrible fight he had that time— ooof!” McGlauflin gave him a hearty dig in the ribs. To make sure that it had registered and created sufficient horrible curiosity in the feminine mind, he repeated it. Private Zuber, guiltless but help less, drooped his shoulders further as the terrible ride continued. “Here’s the Service Club, dear,” he finally said. “Shall we go in and have something to drink?” He gave the three of us a pathetically be seeching glance. “They don’t sell lemon extract in there, Zuber,” I suggested. Clarkin, McCIauflin and I exchanged looks that purposed to show a hidden knowledge of another terrible para graph in the collapse of the soul of Benjamin Zuber. We sat at a table in the Service Club drinking the sodas our victim bought for us. Clarkin looked long at his glass of water. “The sight of water," he re marked, “reminds me of what the sergeant was telling Ben last week about daily bathing.” McGlauflin took pity on the inno cent Zuber, who was dying for a cause'he knew not. “We’ll have to be going. We have things to do and I imagine you two young peo ple want to enjoy each other’s company.” “Yes,” said'Zuber’s fiancee slow ly. “Ben and I have SO much to talk about.” Private Zuber shuddered and his shoulders slumped tragically. ■ “We certainly have enjoyed the afternoon,” crowed Clarkin. “Love ly time.” - j a _ One of the first people I looked up when I went to Charlotte on leave was Ward Beecher Threatt, who writes a column of sorts for the Sat urday edition of the Charlotte News. “Well, Hargrove,” began the post card philosopher, “how’s the Army agreeing with you? I’ve been ach ing to find out what you’ve been doing.” This was a subtle slam at my column. “Well, all things considered—” I began. "Nothing like the Army,” said Ward Beecher. “I wouldn’t take a million dollars for the time I spent in it. Nobody’d offer me a million anyway. Have you got a rating yet?”“Well—” I began again. “Lord, did I have my ups and downs! Got all the way up to ser geant three times and was busted three times—for the good of the service.” He paused to light- another cigarette and I thought I saw ,an opening. “Let me tell you about the trip over,” I said. “We left the—” “We started a crap game on the train,” said Threatt, “and I had to wire home for money before I got to Rock Hill. Have you had a pay day yet?”“We’ll have one—” I started.“On that ocean voyage,” he broke in. “I went for fourteen days without a cigarette. I followed one man all around the boat waiting for him to throw away a butt. Instead of throw ing it on the deck, where I could have scooped it, he flung it over the W.M.O.SERVICE. rail. I followed another and just when I thought he’d be ready to throw it away, I asked him for the butt The son-of-a-gun told me he had three different kinds of colds— and he threw his cigarette over the side. He didn’t have another, he said.” “We landed at Brest,” he said, “and we had to walk up one of the longest demed hills I’ve ever seen before we could drop our suitcases. The Frenchmen swarmed around us, selling everything from steamer trunks to fine-toothed combs. Twenty of us boys pooled our pocket money to buy a pack of cigarettes for fifty cents. What are you going to spend your first pay on?” “Oh, I suppose I’ll—” "First payday I had I went out and bought myself a pack of ciga rettes and lay awake almost all night smoking them. Best cigarettes I ever tasted. By the way, how’s the food at Fort Bragg?” “I find it very—” “Over In France we used to take our drinking water and swap it to the French for wipe. It was a toss- up which tasted worse—our water or their wine. Ah, them was the days! Like your uniform?” “I think it’s very—” “Nothing like the ones we wore. There we were, in the hottest part of the summer, with these woolen F I R ttA I D by Rogefiifpliifanan Roger B. Whitman -W N D Features* You may not be able to replace worn er broken household equipment. This is w ar. Government priorities come first. So take care of w hat you have . . . as well as yon possibly can. This column by the homeown* er*s friend tells yon how. “Over In France we used to take our drinking water and swap it to the French for wine.” OD’s, Russian high collars, wraparound leggins, and all the works. How do you like my costume?” “Well, confidentially—” “This field cap ain’t the one they issued to me. I lost that one and had to help myself to this one. I wouldn’t tell you where I got it. I used to get into more potato-peel ing work for not getting this collar fixed right, too. Looks right dis tinguished, doesn’t it?” * I looked at the modernistic clock on Ward Beecher’s parlor table. I took my eyes off it quickly, lest he tell me again about how he won it at the firemen’s convention. “Well, Ward,” I said, jumping des perately into a gap in the conver sation. “I’ve enjoyed talking to you about my life in the Army, but I have to get along uptown again. I’ve got—” "Sure thing, fellow," said the man of letters; “it certainly is interest ing to hear from a soldier in this army. I could listen to you for hours." When a sergeant tells you that It’s the little things in life that are im portant, he’s not just saying it. A sergeant who impresses that one corny slice of homely philosophy upon a rookie’s mind is giving him one of the most important lessons of his Army life. The soldier has a thousand and one small things to remember in his everyday life. Most of these he forgets at least once before a non- com etches them vividly on his mind with kitchen duty. At retreat, the afternoon inspec tion of the soldiers, I always check everything before I fall out for the onceover. Are my shoes shined? Is my rifle cleaned and oiled? Is my name plate pinned straight over my left shirt pocket? Can I get by with this morning’s shave? Do I need a haircut? Are all my pockets buttoned? When I make sure that ev erything is as it should be, I sigh with satisfaction and fall out. The battery assembles in a neat, precise picture of mass formation. The battery commander orders the top kick to “Prepare the battery for inspection!” The top kick opens the ranks and the lines straighten out to perfection. From where I stand, everything looks perfect. - The battery commander begins his inspection. Until he gets almost to me, I feel almost smug to think that for once I’ve stood retreat and not fallen short somewhere. To bask in my own perfection, I sneak a forbidden peek at my gun and uniform. Then, to my horror, I see two shiny strands of stainless steel just below my belt—the chain on that dadblasted dollar watch! Your whole day can be spoiled by doodads such as that marring the neatness and simplicity of your uniform. Back to the kitchens, Dulcy! There’s one good thing, however, about forgetting to take off youi nonkosher watch chain for retreat, or to put on your leggins for reveille, or to straighten the shoes under your bunk! After the first time, ycu remember them! (TO BE CONTINUED)- possibly <•IftB txitn DRIPPING FLUSH TANK Question: Water drips from my flush tank day and night. We are told it is from condensation, for there is no leak. How can the dripping be stopped? Answer: Your water supply is ev idently very cold, so that the flush tank becomes chilled; condensation results when warm and damp air is cooled by the contact. Usually, the dripping will not last more than an hour or two after each filling of the tank, for the fresh tankful quick ly loses its chill. If the dripping continues, it is because of a leak in the tank by which the tankful of wa ter is kept at its low temperature. The leak can be stopped by put ting in a new inlet washer or re pairing the outlet of the tank. ... Gas RangeQuestion: I have had a gas range for about three years, but have found it unsatisfactory for baking. A mechanic who inspected it for a leak says that it is not getting enough air because it is too close to the back and side walls. Before having it moved I’d like your opin ion on whether greater air circula tion will make it better for baking. Answer: I. hardly think so; for the trouble is very evidently in the adjustment of the burners. Ask the gas company to send an engineer to make an inspection. He will make tests to learn the cause of the trou ble and will correct it.... Drain Cleaners Question: A plumber tells me that I should not clean a clogged drain with a chemical; for later it may become clogged in the pipes. Is this so? Answer: Drain cleaners are either caustic potash or caustic soda. Caus tic potash in boiling water converts the grease in the pipe to a soft soap, which washes away. Caustic soda, on the other hand, combines with grease to form a compound that is nearly insoluble. It is probably this to which the plumber refers. The label of the can should state the formula used.• • • Septic Tank Care Question: In my summer home I drain my plumbing in the fall and fill the- traps with kerosene. In the spring I let the kerosene drain off into the septic tank. But a friend says that this may affect the bac terial reaction there. Is this so? Answer: Yes, it is true, but can be corrected. Drain off plenty of water to flush the tank. Then dis solve six yeast cakes in tepid wa ter in a wash basin and let it drain down into the septic tank. This will start up the bacterial action. Re peat in a week. * * • Patriotic Prints i: I want to put up pa triotic pictures in my boy’s room. What do you suggest? Answer: The Army-Navy Relief Campaign, Post Box 666, New York City, is putting out four-color prints of Paul Revere’s Ride that should be appropriate. They can be had for 25 cents in coin or a 25-cent de fense stamp. In addition to getting the prints, you would be supporting a most worthy cause.* * • Basement Playrooms Question: Where can I get litera ture about basement recreation rooms? Answer: Manufacturers of insu lating wallboard and asphalt tile have photographs of basement play rooms in their catalogues. YouwiS also find recreation room plans for basements In Popular Mechanics Magazine Yearbook; the publisher’s office is at-350 Fiftit Avenue, New York.• • • Spaee for Coal Bin Question: What should be the height, length and width of a box I wish to make to hold one ton of stove coal? I feel sure that I have not received my full quota. Answer: One ton of coal takes up about 36 cubic feet, but this is only an average; the dimension varies. A box measuring 3 by 3 feet by 4 feet high should hold a ton.. . . Cellar Floor Paint Question: How can I prepare my cement cellar floor for painting, and what kind of paint should I use? Answer: The floor should be cleaned and free of grease spots. The paint should be of a kind that is proof against the effects of lime; there are several varieties to be had at a-large paint store.

None of the club regulars could do anything about it. But presently one of the visitors looked up. “I’ll bet,” he said cheerfully, “$10 that I can wheel something In a wheelbarrow from one street lamp to the next, and you can’t wheel it back!” Green looked him over—not a very hefty sort of . fellow. What ever the stranger could do he could better. “Taken,” he said. A wheelbarrow was borrowed. The stranger rubbed his hands, picked up the handles. “Get in, old man,” he said.

For almost every wage earner these days has an income, In checkbook or pocketbook, well above the cost of his living, taxes, insurance and debt re payments. Xon never actually "bid" against anybody for a porterhouse steak, bat when yon take the spending ot all average Americans as a group, it's a different story. So it is im portant that excess money be saved rather than used collec tively to bid np prices. U it is spent, instead of saved, prices soar. . . That’s inflation.
