Manv heartaches she had down hero As she traveled the pilgrim way.Bot now she waits inside the pearly gate For all the loved ones that “yes" to Jesus will sav. It was March *43, when she left os, And all the werld seemed in despair. It was. oh, so hard. But Jesus still reigns and He still cared. Now all we have is a precious memory. Of grandma, gone before. She cannot come back to us But wo can meet her on the golden shore. To the loved ones that loved her.Ate you In the “narrow way,”Orare you on the downward road And your feat are going astray? Won’t you prepare to meet her And walk the straight and narrow road? Jesus is the way and the light,He will carry your heavy load. I am on uiy way to Heaven To meet grandma, so dear. And all the dear sainted loved ones That will pass on through the years That will be a happy day In that bright land so fair. Where grandma will never leave Nor ever have a pain or care.MRS.

Who’s News This Week By DeIos Wheeler Lovelace Consolidated Features,—WNU Release. NEW YORK. — Incentives to American girls and women to join the U. S. Cadet Nurse corps are jess numerous than the blessings USCNCChUfHas t ^ m InducemeiU That on the battle Should FUl Ranks fieldS ° { }he world and in hard-pressed, under-staffed civilian hospitals. Still, they are numerous enough: free education in a well- paid profession, a shortened train ing period, living expenses, spend ing money while training, a distinc tive insigne, uniforms. But Lucile Petry, director of the corps, seeking 27,000 more recruits, offers still an other inducement. The prospects for marriage in the nursing profession are, she points out, excellent. This corner agrees after view ing the fetching new uniform. The petite, erect, gray-haired, fresh-as-a-daisy Miss Fetry is even prettier in uniform than in civilian dress. On leave of ab sence as dean of Cornell Univer sity New Tork Hospital School of Nursing, she has been helping the government since 1941. She was named director of the nnrse corps immediately after its cre ation in 1943. Before Cornell she tanght and supervised at the University of Minnesota. Earlier there was an immense amount of study. Graduating with honors from the University of Dela ware in 1924, she entered Johns Hop kins Hospital School of Nursing. Aft er graduation there she was awarded a scholarship and took a master’s at Teachers’ college, Columbia uni versity. Daughter of a small town school principal who belfeved that children should accept re sponsibility, Miss Petry worked in a dry goods store, a canning factory and a broker’s office while still “the little Petry girl.” TF Lieut. Gen. Omar Bradley runs true to form his maps of coastal France are being worn thin. He will lead invading American ground Not Out for Victory tJ e com ing Through Needless big push, Blood Sacrifices and he tries to know as much of the battle terrain as the enemy, more if possible. Usually he hops into a jeep and looks the country over, then studies its maps far into the night. Since he can’t very well tool a jeep through Nazi defenses beyond the channel the maps must do double duty. Fifty-one, Bradley is a Mis sourian who has made his way in the army against the handi cap of a singular modesty. Be fore this war started he was notable as one of the army’s crack rifle shots, one of its best mathematicians, probably tile best commandanteverin charge of the Officers’ Candidate school ’ at Ft. Benning, and a tactician wbo usually did a little better in maneuvers than bis opponent. When he took over in General Patton’s wake in North Africa only the army found bis name a familiar, one. His score at Gaf- sa, Hill 609, Matenr and Bizerte turned the international spot light on him. Bradley’s military books are dog eared from much reading but Cor fun he likes detective stories. He likes also to talk with his soldiers. And above all he dislikes the rec ords of such generals as that Frenchman who, in the last great war, was said to butcher his divi sions to gain a victory.

Glassford Jr. is a vice admiral in the navy, and it is common practice to look upon all our admirals as bluff old sea- dogs but among them is included a handful of deft diplomats. The vice admiral is one of these for all that he can seem bluff enough at times. He seemed so a few months before we got into the war. Speaking then before a Shanghai audience of American business men, he declared blunt ly that Britain was on the edge of a licking and our turn would come next. In the light of his later assign ments, however, he may have been doing some pretty wily talking on orders received from very high up. Since last May, Mr. Glassford has been President Roosevelt’s personal representative in North Africa, with ministerial rank. Earlier he headed a mission which sought to discover for the adminis tration the value to the Allied cause of the battered but strategic port of Dakar.

The men and equipment responsi ble for making the Salerno airdrome a decisive factor in the Italian land ing were our aviation engineers, one of the least publicized units of the army air forces, yet one of the ba sic influences in every victory we’ve won so far in the Mediterranean. Aviation engineers, riding their bulldozers, go right in amongst the bullets, into the front lines, or ahead of them. Tbelr main, jobs are to build new airports in conquered ter ritory, as they did exceedingly well in Tunisia, and to repair captured airports, as they did so nobly In Sicily. The big boss of the Aviation En gineers is Brig. Gen. Stuart C. God frey, a wiry little person who looks, acts and talks just the way you’d tike to think all our generals- do. General Godfrey describes himself simply as “General Arnold’s engi neer,” but he is likely to end up the most important engineer in modern history. His title is Air Engineer, Army Air Forces. As a sample of how Godfrey’s men work, there is the story of how they built five airports in three days near Sbeitla, in North Africa. Brig. Gen. Donald Davison, en gineer commander in those parts, was looking for one of his companies. He started through a sector occu pied by an American armored divi sion. Officers stopped him, and asked him if he knew he was in the front lines, and headed right out into no man’s land, beyond even the American’s outer patrols. ‘Damn Fools’ Are Up Abead. Davison obviously did not know. The surprise on his face would have detonated a bomb. He asked the boys if they’d seen anything of a company of aviation engineers. The answer was quick and positive. “Yes, we have,” said one of the officers, “if you mean those damn fools who wouldn’t pay any attention to us and took those big machines out. We think they’re about 10 or 15 miles down the road.” Finally Davison found bis engi neers. They had put In a few defensive guns, had dug themselves slit trenches, and were at work building an airfield right under the Nazis' noses. , In three days—three days is 72 hours of work to the engineers—the men built five serviceable fields and moved north l it miles to the area around Le Ser, to grind out more ’dromes. The five-in-three deal was the re sult of careful planning and fast movement. The whole North African battlefront had been looked over from the air, and spots picked out which seemed generally favorable for landing fields. When it devel oped that a batch would be needed specifically around Sbeitla, the en gineers again flew over the ground, choosing more definite locations. Then the engineer troops, with their bulldozers and scrapers and shovels and all the rest of their equipment, went roaring overland, marching day and night, and they went so fast that they paid no at tention to the fact that they had gone clean through the front lines. Or if they did notice it, they were too stub born to care. . Their ability to build airports just one jump ahead of our combat air planes is one of the big reasons we gave the Axis such a bouncing around in North Africa as well as in Sicily. By having airfields up front, -ve kept our air support constant ly with—and ahead of—our troops. Air Force Has to Be Near Front. There could be no delays in bring ing up our airpower. The tactical air force always had to get places ahead of our troops, to blast Cown enemy resistance before our troops arrived. The strategic air force had to reach deeper and deeper behind the enemy lines, hacking at the channels through which the enemy brought up food, munitions and other supplies. Both groups constantly had to be as near the Nazis as they could get. This meant turning out airfields at an amazing rate. It meant flatten ing out barren mountains,' filling in colossal mudholes, trying to hold down expanses of drifting, destruc tive sand. It meant using fumbling native ,labor, carrying special pee- wee equipment and airborne engi neers hundreds of miles at a leap by air, and working night and day in bleak stretches of battlefields. That’s what the'aviation engineers are up against. Tfet they conjured up airports so fast that the pilots never knew, from.day to day, where they’d find one nexi.

I waited with growing im patience, afraid to startle him with any word of mine. “Barry—the black sombrero!” he' said suddenly. He didnft speak again for several moments, then he said: ffTherefS as amazing story here! In- credibla! I see it only dimly yet,” Inside Berta, Margaret and Dwight were attempting a three- handed game of bridge—killing slow time, as ft were, in the hope that tomorrow Would be a brighter day. Rogers, now that I could observe him In the light of the living room lamps, betrayed none of that impul sive energy which in the darkness I fancied he possessed. He was as casual as if he had tired of being out of doors and had come inside for company. He walked about the table, examining the cards each of the. players held. Margaret was playing the hand. She finessed through Dwight. ffSenora,ff began Rogers address ing Berta abruptly, “did you not come ashore from die Orizaba that evening prior to our fishing trip?” ffYes, senor,” she replied after a moment’s hesitation. ffBut only to the—the muelle—the wharf, with Ar turo.” ffYeslff ffIt is because I have forgotten a promise, senor, to my husband. I should bring bis fishing things, his harness, and his belt and knife. And I forgot. When I remember it I go ashore to find somebody to send with a note to the rancho for them.” ffDid you find someone?” ffOh, yes. Two boys. I send them in a taxi.” ffDid you wait for their return?” ffNo, senor. I go back to the boat and Arturo brings the things to me later.” ffDid you see Senor Rumble on the wharf, senora?” ffNo, senor. I see no one.*' ffWhat time was it?” ffThat I do not know, senor. I do not think it is very late.” The cards by now were aban doned and the players moved to more comfortable chairs. Doctor Cruz appeared in the doorway and behind him Lombardo. They came in and we greeted them. I won dered what their mission was. Rog ers continued to stand. His gaze was restless; he seemed to fix upon Elsa’s small black hat, which still lay on the table against the wall, with a sort of satisfaction, although I couldn’t understand why. ffElsa has retired?" he inquired. ffOh, no; she and Reed are around somewhere,” Margaret answered. At that moment Elsa, followed by Reed Barton, appeared at the study door. ffDid I hear my name men tioned?” she called. ffHunt Rogers was worrying about you,” I said. ffBut I wasn’t,” Rogers objected. “I merely inquired what had be come of you. I’d not seen you since dinner.” In the brief moments of this con versation, Rogers had walked a few steps toward Elsa. The table where her hat lay was close at hand. He reached out of a sudden and picked up the quirt which lay partly con cealed underneath it, and held it up before his eyes as if studying the knob with the carved head. Elsa continued to walk toward him. Somehow Rogers had managed to center our gaze upon what he was doing. I found myself staring slight ly at the quirt. It brought back to mind that vivid scene of Elsa rac ing madly toward the house, of her hors* suddenly checked end the de- C KSOMBEfcRO FORD KNIGHT icending lash upon the unsuspect- g Chesebro. Elsa’s eyes were now Eed upon what Rogers was doing; sort of fascination gripped her. fTve been wondering,” said Rog- [rs with a faint smile, "what I light find concealed in this thing.’ e twisted at the knob. It was the ong way. He reversed the pres- re, and the knob slipped slightly :e a screw. To my amazement pulled the knob loose from the idle of the quirt, drawing with it |om its concealment a long, thin- jaded knife of finely tempered |eel. ’You must have had a very great avocation that morning to mur- Rogersf voice hardened a le. ‘More than you realize,” Elsa shed. She seemed to stand tall- ; her gray eyes turned full upon igers. If I had to guess what that provo- ition was,” began Rogers, as if he [ere feeling his way into a dark >om and would welcome a light, I should hazard that it had some- ing to do with the picture of you id the baby.” He paused for a [action of a second, as if giving |lsa an opportunity to speak, then ent on: ffThe child bore a very rong likeness to Jimmy the ieese. I assume that he was the |ther.” ffYou are correct,” said Elsa with Bniiy. ffGeorge Rumble, after the picture you and the child appeared in [e paper, told me something which ither cleared him of any intent of ongdoing,” Rogers went on. ffHe id he first saw that picture of you id the baby at your Aunt Kitty’s. “Barry—the black sombrero!” He asked her about it and your aunt told him that it was your baby—” “She lied!” Elsa flashed. fT m not the mother of that baby!” she said fiercely. She added more softly: fT m glad, though, you told me how George got his information. I never asked him.” Something like a sigh of relief seemed to stir in the room. Elsa stood firmly, defiantly before Rog ers, flanked by Reed Barton. Berta sat forward in her seat, an eagerness in her manner, something trembling on her lips. Rogers asked, ffWho was the mother, Elsa?” ffAunt Kitty!” ffPlease, may I say something?” said Berta quickly. ffOf course, senora,” Rogers turned to her. “There are some things I should tell,” she began in her precise Eng lish. ffElsa does not Imow I know these facts; my husband did not blow I had so much knowledge. But my cousin, Maria Mendez, who is a nurse at the hospital, told me. Aunt Kitty’s child was bora in the hos pital here at Mazatlan. She came secretly here, wanting to be near her brother, and yet for some strange reason not telling him she was even in the town until after the child was born. “Later, on a steamer day, she sent word, pretending that she had come ashore for the few hours the steamer stopped. She explained the child by saying its mother had died at sea and she expected to adopt it. Sam went to see her,” Berta went on rapidly, a deep fire in her eyes. ffShe would not come to the rancho, because of me. She would not even permit him to tell me anything about her being here at the time. Only after Maria had told me later something of what had happened, did I learn about it from Sam. But he made me promise never to talk of it. Things, of course”—she ges tured vehemently with her small, ivory-tinted hands—“are different now. It is time to talk.” ffYou are right, Senora Chatfield,” said Rogers. ffIt is time to talk.” He turned to Elsa, a questioning look in his mild blue eyes, and seemed to wait for some word from her, W.N.U.S eavice Elsa had listened to Berta without a change of expression. She now looked at Rogers steadily, her level gray eyes fixed upon his; the lines had smoothed hut of her face; her voice when nexf she spoke was quite calm. ffPerhaps you’re right, both of you,” she said. “Having kept still so long, however, it really makes lit tle difference with me now.” She continued to stand before Rogers as if answering to him, ignoring the others who sat silently in their chairs. ffI ran away from school in the East. I went to New York, be cause I’d decided to be an artist. Father knew what I ’d done and ap proved it. I didn’t tell Aunt Kitty and she didn’t know where I was. After I’d been there nearly a year father one day telegraphed me that Aunt Kitty needed me. That was the first mistake. She never need ed anybody. But just the same I flew to San Francisco. I was seven teen, and I didn’t have any sense.” Rogers interrupted her. fcWon’t you sit down, Elsa?” She smiled at him. “No, thank you,” she answered, continuing to stand easily before us. “I met Aunt Kitty when she got off the boat with the baby. Father had written me at San Francisco, telling me what he believed was the truth. I’d had only the telegram. Of course, I was sort of stunned; nothing tike this had ever happened to our fam ily. I was very frank to say so; she had it coming to her after the way she’d brought me up. Aunt Kit ty .turned on me so fiercely I thought she was going to strike me. She denied it was her child. She (aid Father had tied to me. It was a baby she was going to adopt. But I stuck to the point like the tittle fool I was. I threatened to kidnap the child and go home with it and announce it as my own, just to shame her. That was the second mistake. I didn’t carry out my threat, but it was only because I couldn’t get the child away from her.” "You returned home together, then, you and your aunt?” Rogers suggested. ffYes. I’d used up all my money in going to San Francisco, and fa ther couldn’t send me any more at that time. Aunt Kitty would not give me any to go back to New York. She’d buy me anything I wanted, though, in the way of cloth ing. She’d never been really gen erous. I couldn’t understand it now. I thought before this that I’d hated her, but we were really only begin ning to hate each other. ffThen one day I woke up to what had happened to me. Odd how you can be the center of gossip and never hear a whisper of it. It’s like being in the center of a hurricane, everything is so quiet. Months had passed before the maid one day said something to me about ‘m y baby/ I was furious. I went to Aunt Kitty. She laughed. fThe whole town thinks it’s yours,’ she said. She laughed again. fAnd it’s going to be yours. You can’t prove it’s not. You ran away from school, so the school authorities can’t help you deny it. It comes down to your word and mine, and mine will be believed be fore yours. So what?’ ffThere I was,” said Elsa simply. lrWhat could I do? She had me, and I knew it. So all I could do was to go on hating her more and more. When the baby died—it didn’t make any difference. I could only go on as I had been going, hating her with every breath I drew, and hoping to live it down some day.” ffTell me now about Chesebro and what happened the other day,” in structed Rogers matter-of-factiy. Elsa laughed shortly, but there was no mirth in her voice. ffElsa, the brilliant caricaturist,” she said sarcastically, “never saw that re semblance in the child to Jimmy the Cheese. She had to be told by Jimmy himself in one of his sev eral fantastic proposals of -m ar riage.” There was a tinge of scorn in her voice. “He’d made advances to me in his elephantine way ever since Aunt Kitty’s death. He didn’t seem to mean it until a short time ago. I detested him and I told him . Then came that picture in the paper. He was very contrite that day we went for a ride. Hebegged a thousand pardons; he groveled before me—literally. Finally he startled me with the statement that he was the father of the child, and before he was through gabbling he admitted that it was his idea origi nally and not Aunt Kitty’s that the gossip be started at home that the child was mine.” Elsa’s voice ceased for a moment and then took up again in a quiet, dead level tone. For several moments none of ns realized just what we had heard, or that Elsa had reached the end of her recital.

J-T WAS rumored some time X ago that Frank Sinatra didn’t ,like his role in his first picture, “Higher and Higher," and there fore didn’t want to do it. For all anybody knows, the lad may have dramatic talents that will bring him success equal to the fame he’s won as a singer. The picture “Wake Up and Live,” which Ben Bernie and Walter Win- eheU made some years ago, seems a perfect vehicle. Now that Sinatra has replaced Bing Crosby’s horses as the leading topic of most of the radio comedians, it’s only fit and proper that Bing and he are arrang ing to appear on each other’s broad casts. Phil Baker’s “Take It or Leave It” is about to become a motion picture. Twentieth Century-Fox has signed Baker to star in a comedy built around and named for the CBS Sunday night quiz. “Take It or FHIL BAKEB Leave It” departs for Hollywood fol lowing the February 27 broadcast, to start work on the film—with Brian Foy directing, the picture should be worthy of the air show. Badio’s “Stage Door Canteen,” heard over CBS, helps maintain can teens in New York, Hollywood, Wash ington, Boston and Philadelphia. Not content with that, the “Stage Door Canteeners” have adopted a fleet of the navy’s landing craft infantry, and are keeping the entire group en tertained via letters and surprise packages. The program is present ed by the American Theatre Wing.

Delicious corned beef brisket is good with cabbage wedges, boiled potatoes and mustard sauce. Baked sweet potatoes are a must with Boston Butt. A dish of applesauce and colorful Har vard beets do the right thing for balance. A shoulder roast of lamb needs the lightness of new potatoes, brown gravy and fresh wisps o{ asparagus.

S Lesson for March 5 Lessoa subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International CoimcU of Beugious Education; used bj permission. JESUS URGES HIS DISCIPLES TO WATCH LESSON- TEXT: Mark 13:3-10, 31-37. GOLDEN TEXT: Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the bouse cometh.—Mark 13:35. God has a plan, and even non When men seem to have turned all order into chaos, we know that God is working out His purpose. The im portant crisis in that plan of God which we now await is the return of Christ, His second coming. He will come secretly to call His own Church, the Bride, to Himself, and then He will come openly, in great glory, when every eye shall behold Him. Then His enemies shall be confounded, and His eternal kingdom be established. We look for His coming, but while we wait (and it may not be long!) we are to occupy for Him until He comes. Our lesson tells men I. What to Expect While Waiting for Christ (w . 3-9). First, we note that we are to ex pect the coming of false teachers and false Christs, who will claim to be the fulfillment of the prophetic Scriptures. We need oi*ly one ad monition concerning them, “Take heed that no man lead you astray.” There have always been such false leaders who for the prominence or gain afforded them are willing to of fer bewildered mankind all sorts of panaceas whereby it is supposed to solve its problems. It seems that these men increase in numbers when great crises, such as war, come upon the nations. Do not be misled by them. Just because a man seems to be devout and professes to be in terested in Christ’s return does not make him a dependable teacher. Are not these the very ones Jesus warned against? They must meet the test of all of God’s Word. Christ warns believers that before the end of the age there will be world-wide war, earthquakes in many places, and famines. These are to be expected, and will come. But here a word of caution is need ed. We must not seize upon present events and rush out (or into print) and tell people that “this is it!” We should be alert in relating world events to the teaching of Scripture, but let us “make haste slowly.” But let no one assume that the need for caution justifies him in ignoring either the Word or world events. We are to be alert, well informed, spiritual and ready. II. What to Do While Waiting for Christ (v. 10). Preach the gospel! That is our first and most important business. Our Lord said that the whole world was to be evangelized before the end came. Please note carefully that He did not say that all nations will be saved, but that they will hear th*e gospel. That is our responsibility—to see to it that every nation has a full and free opportunity to hear the blessed gospel message. We have not done it, and the failure of the Church at that point is a dark blot on its record. There seems to be a revival of interest in the work of missions now, and there are many who believe that at the close of this war almost the entire world will be open for Chris tian missionaries. Tliis will prob ably be true for a limited time only, and it is the urgent business of the Church now to prepare the mission aries who will then be needed. And in the meantime we should all be busy about the all-important matter of teaching and preaching the gospel. It is the best prepara tion for the coming of Christ and the thing we would want to be doing when He comes.in . How to Live While Waiting for Christ (vv. 31-37). There should be an air of expect ancy constantly characterizing the Christian. We are looking for Some one—yes, a very definite and glori ous One—our Lord Himself. We do not know when He will come (v. 32). That is a matter hid den in the eternal counsels of God the Father, a secret into which an gels do not pry, and which even the Son did not know. Why then do foolish men attempt to learn it? Be ware of any man who sets a date for Christ’s return or for the end of the age. He is setting himself up as being superior to Christ, and you can be sure that he is an impostor. We do not know the day, but of the fact we are sure. Christ is com ing again! Sow earetobew atchful as we wait. God has not called us to stand idle, looking for the dawn ing of that glorious day. We are to be about His business, but every where and always, wide awake and looking for Him. That kind of a believer (and all believers should be that kind) will pray. We are to “watch and pray.” They go together. The one who prays will watch. The one who watches will pray. Possibly some of us are not praying because we have fallen asleep and no longer watch for His coming. Then too we probably fell asleep because we did not pray. ON THE E FRONTS TXTiHEN we think of the type of ' ' curtains used in Early Colo nial cottages, crisp frills and ruf fles usually come to mind. Itistrue that ruffled curtains were used in Colonial times but the curtains of the first homes in the New World were of the casement or sash vari ety. We must remember that as late as the discovery of America glass windows were rare. They were of the casement type with tiny diamond-shaped pieces held to- SDtPlESASHCURTAINS FORDIRETTIANO RODS gether with lead. Simple straight curtains to keep out the glare and give privacy were the next logical development. Frills and larger panes of glass came later but sash curtains were also used with these new windows. They are also being used with good effect today for rooms where an informal atmosphere is need ed. In the dinette shown here the sash curtained windows are bor dered with a set of colorful plates.

UARCH 1.1944 To fiia Pecple of I his C ommunity YOU CAN AFFORD IT You can afford to buy Extra War Honds during this Fourth War Loan Drive. Everyone in this community knows* incomes are higher than ever before— tbnt both work* ers and farmers have more cash than ever before. Everyone knows that more than one member of hun dreds of families are income r?rnersj—and everyone knows that incrcr-cs in wages and salaries have far outstripped rising prices, and ino;*coi:cu taxes. You can afford to buy Extra VYar Bonds. As a matter of fac1. you can’t afford NOT to Euy Extra War Bonds. If you spend your money for nccr’Icss. scarce goods, you are increasing prices . . . if you want to heln win the war you can’t afford MOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the serv^e. you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds and if you want a gill-edged investment for your own future security, you can't afford NOT to buy Extra War Bonds. Don't just do the expected—buy All the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR. To the People eft this Community YOU ARE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as a "little" investment in the Fourth War Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great im- p o rtan ce In your mind in making up a SM billion dollar total tor individuals. But multiply y o u rse lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen be comes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he regained consciousness, asked: “Did I do my best?” That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you decide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is "your best” will- deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the window of your home. “Let’s Keep Backing the Attack." THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community KILL OR BE KILLED United States Marines paid Rie stillest price in human life per sausre yard for the capture of Tarawa, vital Pacific outpost. It was kill or be killed. Your boys did not flinch when they ran into the deadliest fire* power along the beaches of this important Gilb e rt Islan d stronghold.------------ This assault,-Vi . - bloody and cost ly. is one of the many which must be itiase before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. VIhat are you doing to back up the buys? Remember these are boys from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treasury's red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming “We bought Extra War Bonds'* is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a direct fighter against Japan and Germany. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacfifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding assault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can't afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds in the 4th War Loan if you would help these boys.

Veronica Lake’s parents were chaperons for an evening, and, to add an extra fillip, the program’s spon sor had arranged for hansom cabs to take the servicemen and their girls from the radio studio to the Stork Club. A crowd of fans were milling around, waiting for an other glimpse of the "Blind Dates.” One of the horses bolted, tossing the cabbie off and leaving Mrs. Keane, who is as tiny as her famous daugh ter, helpless inside. Everyone ran, screaming “Runaway!” but a cool- headed Anzac soldier, used to emer gencies, stopped the horse before damage was done. Andrew Stone, producer-director of “Sensations of 1944,” thinks so well of his idea that he plans to produce ELEANOR POWELL one “Sensations” each year for the next three years; Eleanor Powell of this year’s edition will be the central figure of each one.r The desire to remake “A Fareweli to Arms,” that touching love story of World War I, struck both War ner Bros, and Paramount. Warners wanted it for Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart, which would have been better than the combina tion Paramount set up—Ingrid Berg man and Ray Mill and. Paramount owns the story; therefore it will be Qieir picture. Craig Reynolds, the first Holly, wood actor to don a uniform in World War n when he enlisted in Itie marine corps in September, 1940, will return to the screen as a result of a contract signed with RKO. After serving in more than 50 engagements In the European and South Pacific theaters of war, he was awarded the Purple Heart and two presidential citations. Retired with lumor as a first lieutenant after being badly wounded, he can now walk with the aid of a brace and with scarcely a trace of a limp. RKO is building up a good, sub stantial stock company, to have plen ty of talent ready for its enlarged production schedule. Recent addi tions to the list of male players— Bert Moorhouse, Sherry Hall, Sam my Blum, Frank Mayo, Larry Wheat, Jason Robards, Chester Car lisle, Wheaton Chambers and Alan Ward. Looks as if the shortage of actors won’t worry that studio any. Warner Bros, have lifted suspen sion of their contract with Dennis Morgan, and booked him to play op posite Ida Lupino in a romantic com edy, “The Very Thought of You.” And he and Irene Manning, the ro mantic singing team who costarred in “The Desert Song,” will do an other screen musical together. They’ll be reunited in “Henrietta the Eighth,” a musical comedy. There’s a new reason for the spir ited marching of American sailors these days. The boys are “hupping” it to the rhythm of AIec Templeton’s band compositions. The star of the CBS “Carnival” received a re quest from the navy department for a group of his martial selections, and they have been photostated for distribution here and overseas. -Sf- Not for nothing have Warner Bros, made all those biographical films. They’ve learned that pictures of that class have brought in the largest amounts of mail in the past, so a special bureau has been set up in the fan mail department before “The Adventures of Mark Twain” is released. They figure that Twain’s popularity will result in a veritable landslide of letters.

Wmtm Keep to Low Point Foods on Lunches (See Recipes Below.) Luncheon Aids If you don’t have the points for traditional staples to make up the children’s mid day lunches, then glance over the suggestions I’m giving you today. They’re low on points, good on nourishment and high in health- giving vitamins and minerals. Homemakers with growing chil dren who must feed them at home during lunch, and then feed a very hungry husband at dinner, frequently find themselves low on points for these two important meals. They must be well balanced and satisfy ing or the family will suffer in days lost at school or at work and that’s sabotage on the home front. Sandwiches are an old stand-by and children look forward to them. To give a well-balanced lunch, they should be served with soups or sal ads. It is smart to save bits of leftover vegetables from dinner, even if they amount to only a quarter of a cup, and then to use them for a soup for luncheon the next day. Think of the colorful soups that you can create from green peas, spinach and car rots. And as for nutrition, that’s there in vegetables without saying! Creamed Sonp. (Leftover Vegetables) (Serves 4) 1 cnp pulp (onions, carrots, celery, peas, string beans or lima beans) 1 tablespoon flour 2 tablespoons butter or substitute 1 teaspoon salt Ye teaspoon pepper 2 cups milk Add milk and seasonings to vege table pulp. Blend butter with flour and add to miik and vegetable pulp. Bring to a boil and cook slowly for 4 minutes. *Cream of Corn Soup.. (Serves 6) 2 cups corn (canned or leftover) 2 cups boiling water 2 cups milk 1 slice onion 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour Salt and pepper Place corn, boiling water, milk and onion in a saucepan. Simmer for 20 minutes. Rub through a sieve. Brown flour and butter together. Stir in com mixture. Simmer S minutes. Serve very hot. When making sandwiches, there’s a tendency to fall into the same pat tern and create real m onotony. New ideas can quickly pep up lunches whether they’re at home or in the lunch box. It’s easy to achieve variety if you use low-point cream cheese or some of the wedge- cuts flavored with pimiento, relish and chives. These furnish nutritious butter fat too, and you can take it easy on butter for spreading: Lynn Says Escort Ideas: The little things you do for food are as important as the big things you do for them in cooking correctly. For exam ple, the bread pudding may be good, but it will be better with a spoonful of spicy apple butter on top, or a dab of grape jelly. Make your meat casseroles in teresting by leaving the vegeta bles in larger pieces. When you make a biscuit topping, use dif ferent types of cutters for bis cuit dough—hatchets, diamonds, cloverleafs, etc. Apple slices fried in bacon add fragrance to your kitchen, and have that hard-to-resist flavor when served with old fashioned griddle cakes.

The time had come! Jesus was about to be condemned and cruci fied; and though sinful men thought thus to rid themselves of the One who had pierced their hypocrisy mid Unveiled their unrighteousness, His death was, in the providence of God, the giving of Himself for our sins. What He endured as He went to the cross is enough to break one s heart, for here we see the denial, betrayal and compromise of men. I. Christ Sold for Money (14:10, 11Whdn one sees the awful things which have been done and are be ing done for money in this^ world. It becomes clear why the Bible re peatedly calls it “filthy lucre.” “Money! How many awful things have been done for money. How many dishonest officials have se cured high places in government by money! How many people have lost their lifesavings because some shrewd, crooked broker schemed to take their money away, because he wanted it. How many millions of people have been kept in poverty because men cared more to increase their wealth than Qiey did to relieve the distress of those who worked for them . . . Mmiey is what keeps the dance halls going; a lust for money is what keeps our breweries and dis tilleries open; it is money that makes men want to produce lascivi ous plays and motion pictures” (W. M. Smith). Fundamentally, it was the love of money that made Judas betray his Lord. “What will ye give me?” was his question (Matt. 26:T5). But money is not the only price With which men may be paid. We find next— n . Christ Deserted for Comfort (14:53, 54). Peter would not have risen to the suggestion that he sell his Lord for money, so Satan was too sm art to stir his loyalty by such a suggestion. He used another method with Peter. Things had become very .difficult for our Lord. He was led away to be falsely accused and subjected to persecution. It was no longer com fortable to be at His side, as it had been when He fed the multitude and healed the sick, and silenced His ,enemies. This was cold unpleasant business. Why should Peter get mixed up in it? After all he could just as well keep a safe distance, and besides it was warm at the fire. Oh, yes, the enemies of the Lord had kindled it and stood around it, but that didn't need to make Peter an enemy of His—or did it? How many Christians who would meet with hasty and courageous de nial the suggestion that they sell their Lord, have betrayed Him by warming themselves at the fires of this world. IH. Christ Denied for Fear (14: 66-72). Peter, the staunch defender of our Lord, who had assured Him that no m atter how cowardly the others might be, he would stand fast (Mark 14:29), now quails before a servant maid. He curses and swears to try to strengthen his words of denial. What had happened to Peter? He had become so at home by the fire of the enemies of his Master that he was afraid to confess his rela tionship to Him. He had followed so far off that He had lost touch with the Lord, and was again like the Peter who on another day looked away from the Master’s face and feared the boisterous waves (Matt 14:30). Peter was afraid, and he denied his Lord. How many there are who are like him. They tremble before an unbelieving world, and fearing the scoffing of poor, weak, sinful men, they deny their Lord. It is time that Christian people took courage and stood up for the Lord in all times and. circum stances. IV. Christ Condemned for Con venience (15:12-15). Pilate found no fault in Christ. He had no desire to condemn Him. He wanted to set Him free. But it proved to be politically inexpedi ent. To stand by his convictions concerning this innocent person would have greatly inconvenienced him in many ways. So “wishing to content the multitude’’ he delivered Jesus to be scourged and crucified. Men and women today are will ing to condemn Christ anew because to submit to Him and bear His n an ,,. would require of them a sacrificial living which they are not w illing to give. So they pass Him by, and go on to a Christless eternity. . It costs something to follow Jesus —to stand true to Him in a rejecting world. One wonders at times wheth er this is not one reason why God does not send a revival to the Church. We are probably not will ing to bear the inconvenience. It would upset Oim regular order of life.

H e’s N O T a g rem lin !’' CROSS TO W N Bv Roland Coe ON THE EFRON W E KNOW that the Eighteenth ’ ' Century is often called! the golden age of the cabinet makers. We know that the English cabi net makers, Chippendale, Hepple- white, Sheraton and the Adam brothers, flourished then and that their work was copied by our own ETURN FOR END OF SHELF PAPERiATTERh ORAPERY FABRtC . X1TCn TAPE cabinet makers of the late Colo nial period. The furniture types of their day have become standard with us. Visitors to the reconstructed village of Williamsburg, Va., are often surprised to find that Venetian blinds were the fashion long before the Revolution, and the well tailored canvas lined valance used with floor length chintz draperies also seem modern to them. Yet these were the cur* tain styles when ladles and gentlemen wore powdered wigs. Valances were made just as we make them today and were tacked to a valance board in pretty much the same manner as is shown here. NOTE—This is the second of a series on modern adaptations of period curtain fashions. Another version of the shaped type of valance is given In BOOK 5 of the series of ten booklets on sewing for the home. To get copy of Book S send 15 cents direct to: MRS.

Who’s News This Week B y D elos W heeler Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNV Release. N EW YORK.—Littie bespectacled Henry Pu-yi, puppet emperor of the Jap-bolstered realm of Manchu- kuo, passed his 38th birthday in what „ ,the TokyoT en Years Is for ra(jio de- HimaPhenomenal scrib es as Jfun .* E m peror it begins to look as if the historians would credit him with at least a decade in office. He'll reach the IOth milepost early in March. His two previous tries were much briefer. Son of Prince Chun Wang, younger brother of Kwang Sung, former Manchu emperor of the Chinese, Henry first found him self in the role of ruler when he was only four years old. The throne was that of all China that time. The Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi was his backer then, and she smuggled the frail boy into the palace and into office one dark night. Her coup held good until China became a republic in 1913. Then Henry lost his job. He regained it fleetingly in 1917, but then the Chinese said “no” for keeps. Things weren’t too bad for him, though, even after that. He still had the palace to live in and a nice fat income to live on. When Marshal Feng seized Peking, now Peiping, all that ended. That was in 1924 and Henry fled straight to the Japs. Both Henry and his beautifnl wife once learned to converse in English. U anyone has ever told him that the first 10 years are the hardest, he probably is skep tical today. Or maybe the Japs haven’t let him know about what happened in the Marshalls. •---- IN THE last great war comforting statistics came alive among Americans newly arrived in France to do their share in the heavy fight- _ . , in g of th eSurvival Cnances summer and OfWoandedHaoe autum n of Been U pped 4% P 1J*' N° ° " e ' bothered to trace their source, at least no one known in this corner. Everyone was glad to take them, as-was, because of their reassuring conclusion that, even though you were wounded, the chances were 93 out of 100 that you would live to flash your wound stripe back home. Now here is practically the same percentage on the official word of Maj. Gen. Norman T. Kirk, surgeon general of the army. He says that in the last war 7.4 per cent of our wounded died. He mentions the figure to emphasize how much better off the wounded are in this war. Only 3 per cent die now. The general has commanded the army’s doctors since last June. He reached that ultimate goal Cd all commissions in his corps after 30 years of service. Fifty-six now, born a Marylander, he was graduated from the State University of Mary land and made a first lieutenant in 1913. Like most good doctors lie follows the advice he givfes all pa tients and controls his weight. His special field is surgery with a particular leaning toward orthopedics. And he should be a handy man to have aronnd these times since many of the 97 who survive out of every hun dred wounded will be gTeatly helped by operative reconstruc tion of hurt joints and bones and tendons. r PH E Reds destroy Old Russia's myths, but a thousand years from now new ones will crop up, and one maybe will center upon the lively, , , , o . hard-drink-Already P easants IngMarshal VowThatBadenny Semeon Mi ls Supernatural chailovich B udenny, who certainly does not lessen his chance of immortality by presenting to Stalingrad the historic sword sent by Britain’s King George. It seems to be a little more than human in him to have risen from a cavalry sergeant major under the czar, sur viving all the purges of the revolu tion to become one of the Soviet’s best loved national heroes. Budenny is 68 now, a stocky, black-eyed comrade whose sto ries are endless and whose enor mous moustaches spread under his broad nose like wings. He is a Don Cossack and in the dawn of the revolution bis war cry was, “Proletarians! To Horse!” Born a peasant he fought the Japs in his youth and had grown into an old profes sional soldier when the Bolshe vists came along. He joined them. His wife also joined them; but when she accidentally killed herself while cleaning a rifle, he swore that he never again would m arry a sol dier. So he took an actress for his second wife, but she is a helpmeet, too, and tutored him through the Moscow Military academy from which he graduated with honors 13 years. ago. Besides the people’s approval he has official honors galore, among them the Order of Lenin, the Order of the Red Star (received four times), and-at least one town has' been named for him.

Too Big A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BY THE LEADING AR CORRESPONDENTS Weather Stations In Greenland By Bem t Bdlchen Timothy (“Tiny”) Baskin, 6 feet VA inches, complains he’s “just a civilian.” He was rejected, although he reduced from 350 to 212 pounds and had his arches lifted. WVU Feaion —Tbroagh special arrangement with ColUeTg WeeKlyi War in the Arctic is a lonely war. It is not a big show like Russia or Italy; there are no vast armies, no major campaigns, no epic battles. Events are far apart and small. A trawler halts in a hidden cove. A group of men in green German army tunics set up their equipment on the barren beach. A passing dog-sled driver is ambushed and shot. And between these events is nothing but the waiting and the silence. Evidently the driver of the sled never heard the command to halt. The wind off Greenland’s Icecap was sharp, the flying snow crystals stung his face as the team of huskies trot ted ahead of him; he pulled his parka hood tighter over his head against the cold. With two other members of the Greenland Sledge Patrol, he was hurrying back to Eskimonaes after an uneventful two weeks’ reconnais sance to the north. There had been no sign of enemy installations along the coast. Nothing aroused his sus picions as he led the way over the shore ice toward the deserted trap per’s cabin at Sandodden where they planned to spend the night. First Man Killed by Enemy. The first shot, fired from the door of the cabin, struck his lead dog; the animal dropped in its traces, kicking once or twice convulsively. Before the driver realized what had happened, his second dog leaped into the air and doubled over, biting at a spreading red stain on its white fur. Instinctively he stooped to grab his rifle from the bottom of the sled; a bullet drilled him through the temple, and he fell face forward onto the snow. That shot, by a Nazi trooper, marked onr first fatal conflict with the enemy in Greenland; it was the initial contact with an armed Ger man invasion force anywhere in the Western hemisphere. You did not know—the facts could not be re vealed until now—that the Nazis had actually established a foothold on this side of the Atlantic. You did not know, all last year, that their planes were flying within bombing distance of the shores of North America. Their submarines, refueling in Greenland’s silent fiords, were striking at will at our convoys to England and Murmansk. Their well-equipped weather station, on the island’s undefended east coast, was in daily radio communication direct with Berlin. Perhaps you did not even know there was a war in Greenland. It was a secret war, waged in semi darkness north of the Arctic Circle, on a remote battlefield perpetually locked under 10,000 feet of solid ice. ’Carrying On’ at 50 Below. The weapons were not tommy guns and tanks; the real heroes of this war were nameless enlisted men working in air force ground crews at 50 below zero, or standing guard on coast guard cutters fighting through the pack ice, or living all winter long in isolated weather sta tions along the Icecap, buried under 18 feet of snow. Once each day they would tunnel to the surface to take their wind and temperature readings; the rest of the time there was nothing to do but wait. Look at your map, and you will see that Greenland sits at the top of the globe, the nearest land mass to the North Pole. From this frozen island in the Arc tic there flow winds and currents that set up the storm fronts for all the North Atlantic, for England, for Norway, for the continent itself. Greenland holds the key to tomor row’s weather in Europe. Every bombing raid we make over Germany depends on our long-range forecasts from the Arctic. The tim ing, indeed the very success, of our coming invasion may hinge on the fact that we—and not the Nazis— have Greenland today. The Germans knew the importance of Greenland. From the outset of the war, Nazi weather planes had been patrolling its coast; it was ad vance information from Greenland that enabled the trapped 'Scharn- horst and Gneisenau to slip out of harbor, under cover of heavy fog, and pass unmolested within 15 miles of the Dover coast. Spying ‘Scientists.’ For a quarter century, alleged German scientific expeditions had actually been studying the Arctic with an eye to its future military use; their so-called good-will flights across the Atlantic, by way of Green land, had amassed invaluable me teorological data. We-Iikewise knew that Greenland was an important frontier. Long before our formal entry into the glo bal struggle, we realized that it would be an essential springboard for any-Nazi air-and-sea assault on the North American continent.

W BLACK _ SOMBfiEfiO Elsa CbatfieId Is disinherited by her Aunt Kitty who died o( an overdose of morphine. Bunt Rogers and Barry Madi son go to Mexico to solve what they be* Ueve to be Atrnt KittytS murder. O s ar* riving they find that Elsa’s party bat preceded them by plane. Jam es Chese bro Is murdered, Elsa's father, Sam, meets death from the sword of a martin when his chair breaks, toppling him Into the sea, and George Rumble Is murdered and thrown into the sea near the dock. Rogers questions Berta, Sam's Wiler and on examining the quirt with which Elsa had beaten Chesebro discovers by twisting the knob that it conceals the knife that killed Chesebro. Now Continue. CHAPTER XVHI “In the presence of Senor Lom bardo and realizing the implication in it that you killed Chesebro?” to r only a fraction of a second (itd she hesitate, then she answered calmly, “Yes.” Senor Otilio Lombardo, jefe del policia, came up the Orizaba’s lad der the next day but one, followed by Dr. Miguel Cruz. On the heels of the doctor came the barefooted, ragged mariachis, Pelipe and Pan- cho. “I have puzzled much, gentle men,” remarked Lombardo in Eng lish after cigarettes had been light ed, “about the confession of Senorita Chatfield that she killed Senor Chesebro. I do not understand it, and I take no action. I had come that evening persuaded that it was better, despite your promise, that I keep Senor Barton in jail for the ftrurder of Senor Rumble. But when Senorita ChatfieId speak I am con fused, senor, and do not know what is best to'do.” A faint smile twitched at Rogers’ lips and he looked away across the bay to the shore where the coco palms seemed to shoot like bursting green rockets into the sky. “There are many confusing things in this affair, senor," he remarked. “They have puzzled me too, but I believe that I can explain them all now.” “I would be very glad if you would.” “Four persons have died, Senor Lombardo—Katherine Chatfield in California; Jam es Chesebro, Sam Chatfield and George Rumble, in Mexico. The explanation must in clude all four. It must be logical and there must be proof.” “Yes, of course,” said Rogers. “Sam Chatfield and his wife, Ber ta, arrived in California for their annual visit a year ago last winter. They stopped at a hotel in Pasa dena, and, uninvited, went to spend the night with his sister, Kather ine—Elsa’s Aunt Kitly. That night Katherine Chatfield was murdered. The method used was an overdose of morphine, to which drug she was an addict, taking it hypodermically. A very faint odor of chloroform de tected the next morning by only one investigator furnishes the single clue to what happened. A few drops of chloroform on a handkerchief, I be lieve, suddenly held to the unsus pecting victim’s nose, and kept in place during the brief and violent struggle which probably followed, and the victim was unconscious. There was necessary only to load the hypodermic with an overdose of morphine and shoot it into the unconscious victim, wipe away all fingerprints from the syringe and the supply bottle, and press tile prints of the victim on these things. Simple?” “It is most simple, Senor Rog ers,” said Lombardo, a serious ex pression upon his round, brown face. “Either a man or a woman could have done that, senor,” Rogers be gan again. “Now, consider these facts: Present in the house, besides the servants, who do not figure in it at all, was Sam Chatfield. He knew that his sister was the mother of a child. He knew that she not only had refused to acknowledge the fact, but had permitted his daughter, El sa, to be cruelly slandered, and not only had done nothing to quiet the gossip, but most likely had been in strumental in circulating it. “Also in the house that night was Elsa, who openly and frankly at all times, as you heard the other night, has admitted that she hated her aunt. Besides these two there was Senora Berta Chatfield, who ever since she married Sam had resent ed the treatment given her by her sister-in-law, and who, as a wife, knew how her husband felt toward Katherine Chatfield. “There, Senor Lombardo,” Rog ers continued, “I have named three persons with motives to kill and ob viously with the opportunity to do so. But there were others that night who came and went. George Rumble, who had done some pub licity work for Katherine Chatfield, -came to receive his pay, which was refused him. There was an argu ment and hot words, and Rumble left. But he remained in the neigh borhood uncertain whether or not he should return. Did he go back and kill her?” Rogers was developing very logi cally the facts in that first slaying, and Lombardo followed his words closely. Doctor Cruz sat smoking comhusk cigarettes endlessly, his eyelids making mere slits for his eyes. Neitiier spoke. “That night, also,” Rogers went on evenly, “Reed Barton was at Katherine Chatfield’s home to give her a book sent by Chesebro. Reed has been very frank to admit that CLIFFORD KNIGHT ^ father’s, death—a suicide—can oe laid at the dead woman’s door. A little leniency shown in a critical time would have saved his property for him. Did Reed Barton kill her? Jam es Chesebro arrived and de parted that night; we do not know why, the reason for his visit never having been explained before his i have some motive tokul the woman? Next came Dwight Nichols.” ^ Rogers nodded in Dwight’s direction. The latter mere ly sat and smoked calmly, listening without offering to interrupt. “Dwight Nichols profited by some two hundred thousand dollars at the death of Katherine Chatfield, be cause of some jointly owned proper ty. Dwight has stated that he was summoned, for some reason un known to him, to advise with Miss Chatfield. Margaret Nichols was jealous of Katherine Chatfield, be cause she feared her husband’s love was being stolen from her. She, also, made a visit that night. How ever, Mrs. Nichols says she got only as far as the entrance hall whfcn someone dashed out of the house in panic, someone who, she says, did not see her concealed behind some drapery. That person admittedly “And finally, there is Elsa,” Rogers thoughtfully. was her husband. Dwight Nichols says that he arrived only to find Katherine Chatfield dead. Is he tell ing the truth? Is his wife telling the truth; did either, or both, of them kill the woman?” Rogers halted to sip from his frosty glass. “It is all very strange, Senor Rog ers,” said Lombardo, stirring un easily in his chair. “How can you discover the truth in so compli cated a case?” Rogers smiled faintly, and I thought that there was the merest twinkle in his mild blue eyes. “If,” he began again, “we exclude from suspicion all those persons who sub sequently died by violence—Chese bro, Sam Chatfield, George Rumble —as victims of and not themselves the probable killer, whom have we left?” He glanced from Doctor Cruz to Lombardo, then named them: “Elsa Chatfield, Senora Berta Chat- fleld, Margaret Nichols, Dwight Nichols, and Reed Barton. Those five. “Now, then,” Rogers said, a crisp ness coming into his voice, “we come to the death of James Chese bro. Of these five who could possi bly wish him to die? Senora Berta Chatfield? I can think of no reason; I know of no motive, in fact. On the other hand, Reed Barton and Chese bro quarreled with each other over the love of Elsa Chatfield. Chese bro had discharged Barton from his employ. An excellent motive,” he commented. "But—Dwight Nichols had been defrauded by Chesebro of fifty thousand dollars in a mining deal. That is a lot of money. Men have been murdered before now for 'much less, Senor Lombardo. And how about Margaret Nichols, the wife? Again fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money—to a woman.” “Yes, of course, much money,” murmured Lombardo, absorbed in his own mental processes. “And, finally, there is Elsa,” said Rogers thoughtfully. “Hers is a stronger motive than all the others put together, senor. A young wom an’s good name is her most valuable possession. You are Mexican, and can understand the word revenge. Elsa was willing night before last to permit the inference that she had killed Chesebro. Senor, is Pedro, the pulque seller, a lying scoundrel who seeks to protect a woman, or does he tell the truth when he says that Dwight Nichols is the one who killed?” Lombardo’s face was puzzled; he was now hopelessly at sea. A frown had gathered on the forehead be tween the slitted eyes of Doctor Cruz as he followed the intricacies of the problem as set forth by Rog- ersi As for Rogers, I could not W ./1 .U .S E IW IC E . escape the conviction that he was enjoying himself hugely at the ex pense of Lombardo. His face, how ever, was more solemn than that oi a judge. Lombardo started slightly at Rogers' question. “Yo no se, senor,” he admitted, reverting to Spanish in his confusion.’ “I think, Senor Lombardo,” said Rogers, dropping with a smile into Spanish, “you will let Pedro out ol jail when I finish telling you who is the guilty person." Lombardo's only response was an involuntary lifting of the eyebrows. “However,” Rogers took up again in English in a more serious vein, “the name of the guilty one must wait a few minutes longer. I will come to it at the proper time. But now let us look for a moment at the death of Sam Chatfield. His is the most puzzling in the entire series. So much seems accident, so little may have been the handiwork of a murderer. A nut had come un screwed from the swivel mechanism of the chair in which Sam sat in the launch. If the chair had not collapsed, there is little likelihood that he would have fallen overboard, probably none at all. Did some body remove the nut? There was opportunity to do so for everybody who went on the fishing excursion, and even feir George Rumble, who did not go. AU of us, except the women members of the party, knew beforehand that Sam Chatfield would sit in that chair when we went after marlin. “And, yet, I know of no motive upon the part of anyone for the death of Sam Chatfield. Of course, one never knows what’s between a husband and a wife. Did Senora Chatfield have some motive un known to us, and did she learn in some manner which seat her hus band would occupy on that fatal ex cursion in the launch? But—let’s drop Sam Chatfield’s death for the moment, and go on to George Rum ble’*. I think that in it we will find some&Sng of interest—perhaps the key we are seeking.” Lombardo shifted in his chair and looked away for a moment to the tall towers of the church. Doctor Cruz crushed out the spark in his cigarette under his heel, and for a moment his hands were idle. The mariachis were growing restless, understanding nothing that had been said in English. Reed Barton sat. easily with legs crossed, and Dwight continued calmly to smoke. “There are motives recognizable in the death of George Rumble,” Rogers began once more. “For Margaret Nichols there was no op portunity. Senora Chatfield has ad mitted she went to the wharf that night to find someone to send for her husband’s fishing equipment Felipe and Pancho went on that er rand for her. She returned to the yacht. She asserts, however, that she did not see Rumble, who was murdered on the wharf that night. There was a motive for the murder of Rumble on the part of Dwight Nichols; he and Rumble quarreled only a short- time before Rumble died. Rumble knew that Dwight was the man who rushed in panic out of Katherine Chatfield’s house the night she was murdered; he held it over him, as it were, and Dwight believed it was for the purpose of blackmail. After the two separat ed, Dwight, in the presence of B ar ry Madison, Sam Chatfield and me, made a remark which could be in terpreted as a threat. He said that he would have to manage some way to quiet Rumble definitely.” Dwight was unmoved by this ,re cital; he tapped the ash from his cigarette and continued to gaze calmly at Rogers. The latter paused to sip his glass of limeade before he went on. “Another motive, not so strong, perhaps, is one that can be assigned to Reed Barton. George Rumble had fallen in love with Elsa. You knew that didn’t you, Reed?” “Yes.” "Again, Senor Lombardo,” said Rogers, turning back to the chief, “love is a possible motive. How strong? How shall it be evaluated?” He paused only briefly. “However, there’s a very definite motive, and I think the real one, to account for Rumble’s murder — Rumble knew too much. He boasted that he knew who the killer was. What, in that case, will a murderer do? He will strike at the first opportunity, for he prizes his safety above all else. And that’s what happened.” Lombardo stirred uneasily in his chair. “Who, Senor Rogers,” ha asked, “heard Senor Rumble boast that he knew the murderer?” “Barry Madison, Sam Chatfield, Dwight Nichols, and I.” “So?” Reed Barton shifted his feet and cleared his throat lightly. “I shouldn’t be left out, Hunt. Rumble hinted very broadly to me that he knew who killed Chesebro, then closed up like a clam when I asked him about it.” Rogers looked at him sharply, as it to determine whether the state ment was made in a vein of bra vado, or because he wished to be helpful. For a moment he was silent and then appeared to shift his ap proach to the problem of Rumble’t murder. . (TO BE CONTINUED) /■ FIRST-AID to the AILING HOUSE bjr Roger B. W hitman Boger B. Whitman—WNU Features. POWDERY CONCRETE Question: My basement floor has a white, powdery substance which comes out of the cement. I am un able to keep this off, no matter how often I sweep it. How can I correct this? Answer: If the dusting was not apparent at any time previous, I am inclined to think that efflorescence is forming on the surface of the concrete. This condition might be caused by excessive dampness com ing through the concrete to the sur face of the floor carrying with it alkaline and mineral salts (in solu tion). On evaporation of moisture the salts crystallize, forming a white powdery substance. The condition may disappear when the greater part of the dampness in the floor has evaporated. Of course, the pow der will have to be removed from time to time. Scrubbing with a wire brush may remove most of the efflo rescence. A couple of soaking coats of a zinc sulphate solution may help alleviate the condition. Try this on a small area of the floor to see what effect it will have. Dissolve three pounds of zinc sulphate in a gallon of water and apply liberally. After two or three days for drying, brush off what crystals may have formed and apply a second treatment. Pud dles should be wiped up.... MARBLE WALLS Question: How can I restore my marble vestibule wall and my tile entrance floor to their original ap pearance? Answer: Neutral soaps can be used for the ordinary cleaning, or else scouring powder that is hot too coarse, and the same for the floor. But, if the marble is in very bad condition, ask a marble specialist to polish the stone. You can get an excellent booklet on the care of marble by sending 15 cents to the Marble and Stone institute, 18 East Forty-first street, New York. ... Stained Asbestos Shingles Question: What can I use to re move the stain on asbestos shingles, caused by the old wood in window sills? The stain is under every win dow on our house. Answer: Scrub the surfaces of the shingles with a solution of trisodium phosphate or washing soda, about a pound in each gallon of hot water. The use of a scouring powder might be necessary. Rinse thoroughly with cletr water. Protect painted sur faces against damage by the solu tion. You might be able to prevent or minimize the staining by filling all spaces and crevices between the shingles and window frames with a caulking compound. AU openings between the sections of the window frame should be weU puttied. • Rot ting wood should be replaced. ... Repairing Stncco Question: I intend repairing the stucco on my house. WiU-you give me the percentage of sand, cement and crushed stone to make this re pair? After this is completed I in tend to go over the entire house with a cement wash, or paint job. I believe there is a certain kind of cement for this purpose. A nsw er: One p a rt P ortland cement (white or gray) and three parts of clean coarse sand is the usual mortar mixture for stucco re pair. When the stucco has been re paired, coat it with a cement base- paint which comes in powder form and is mixed with water. You can get this kind of paint from your local dealer in mason materials. ... Water Glass on Glass Question: About six months ago I pasted flowered paper pictures on French doors with water glass. Now, since the pictures have faUen off, a hard crystallization has formed from the water glass on the glass panes. Nothing seems to remove the stains. What could I use to dissolve the water glass? Answer: You will do best to re place the glass instead of trying to remove the water glass. This chem ical, when dry, is insoluble with the ordinary household chemicals or cleaners.

Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great im- p o rta n c e In your mind in making up a 5^ billion dollar total for individuals. But multiply y o u r s e lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen becomes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he re gained consciousness, asked: nDid I do my best?” That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you decide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is “your best” will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the win dow of your home.

Your boys did not flinch when they ran into the deadliest fire* power along the beaches of this important Gil b e r t Is la n d stronghold. This assault, bloody and costly, is one of the many which must be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. What are you doing to back up the boys? Remember these are boys from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treasury’s red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming “We bought Extra War Bonds1' is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a direct fighter against Japan and Germany. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding assault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Ex* tra Bonds in the 4th War Loan it you would help these boys. THE EDITOR. On the beaches of Italy, in the jungles of the Pacific—planes, tanks, artillery must move—and fast; no waiting to build roads or airfields.

S, Trtatury Dgportmtmi Red Cross Asks $200,000,000 To Coyer Wartime Needs WASHINGTON, D. C.—Confrontea with responsibilities of unprecedented proportions, as the war enters Its most crucial stage, and with a stagger- Ing task ahead in the post-war period, the American Red Cross opens its 1944 War Fund appeal March I, con fident that the American people will respond to the limit of their ability. President Roosevelt, president of the American Red Cross, Norman H. Davis, chairman and active head of the vast organization, and Leon Fraser, na tional War Fund chairman, join In urging the people of this country to help Red Cross reach its national objective of $200,000,000 because of the vital part it must play within the next twelve months. Chairman Davis, In opening the campaign, will stress the fact that with the decisive stage of the war at hand, the Red Cross must assume a greater burden than ever before, and at the same time must provide aid to servicemen being returned In ever- increasing numbers. Ked Cross operations over the entire world during 1943 have dwarfed its activities during the first two years of war. An even greater burden will be placed on Red Cross services in 1944. Thousands of American men and women are now in Red Cross service with U. S. troops at home base3 and overseas. Field directors, hospital, club and recreation workers are with American armed forces in virtually every command, Mr. Davis asserted. Both in Europe and in the Far East, Red Cross workers have either gone with invasion forces into new combat areas, or have followed within a very limited time. On the home front, the Red Cross has broadened its service tremend ously. Field directors are serving In, every sizable military establishment and camp throughout the country, and recreation and social service workers are located In Army and Naval hospitals. One of the most Important and necessary war-time Red Cross func tions has been the collection of human blood for plasma. Thirty-five blood donor stations are now operating. The dramatic story of the Red Cross Blood Donor Service, through which thousands of soldiers and sailors have been saved from death, began In Feb ruary, 1941, when the Surgeons Gen eral of the Army and Navy asked the Red Cross to procure 15,000 pints of blood. Last year more than 3,700,000 pints of blood were collected for the Army and Navy. This year the goal is more than 5,000,000 pints. With major battles of the war yet to come, the Army has asked the Red Cross to supply many millions of sur gical dressings. American men wounded in battle will depend acutely on the vast Red Cross surgical dressing pro duction program. Numerous other Sed Cross home operations, such as Prisoners of War packaging centers, where more than a million parcels for war prisoners are prepared each month for shipment overseas, are supported by citizen- participation in the Red Cross War Fund. So extensive is Red Cross service during this war that every American civilian can contribute something to at least one of its functions. To con tinue this gigantic work, all Americans must assume their share of the re sponsibility of carrying on this far- reaching service. Tha $200,000,000 quota will enable Red Cross to alleviate suffering and pain at home and abroad, and to carry on its vast military welfare service.

SINCE his return from his recent overseas trip Joe E. Brown has been the talk of New York — being modest, he’s told the people fortunate enough to hear him, things that he should say to the en- tire United States. He has traveled more than 100,OCO miles, entertained more than two million men, on all fronts. The man is terrific; it’s no wonder that a psychiatrist who followed him through hospitals in the South Pa cific reported a 71 per cent improve ment m the patients’ condition. He entertained men everywhere—in the front lines, on ships, in canteens. JOE E. BROWN His new radio show, on the Blue network, is a quiz show; too .bad he’s not doing an additional one, so that the public could hear what he told newspaper people. ■ The "vicious circle’’ that’s sup posed to be show business isn’t so vicious for Xavier Cugat, who be came a movie highlight after re peatedly starring on the bandstand of the New Xork Paramount thea ter. Now that he has a handsome contract with Metro, Cugat has been rewarded with a ten weeks’ person al appearance contract, at $12,500 per week—at the Paramount thea ter, where he started to fame! Lauritz Melchior, Metropolitan tenor who scored such a hit clown ing with Fred Allen on the air, has signed for his first motion picture— it’s Metro’s "Thrill of Romance,” featuring Esther Williams, the swimmer. He’ll play an opera sing er. "AU the other fellows razzed this chap,” said the soldier who’d just come out of Halloran hospital. “He sat down on the side of my bed and played cards with me and talked, and was swelL I didn’t know who he was then. Found out later he was Frank Sinatra.” We won't see Rosalind Russell in "Sister Kenny,” after all that prep aration, because it’s been indefinite ly postponed. But it’s going to be too bad if she’s assigned to "Rough ly Speaking” instead, because that’s a perfect story for Bette Davis. James Cagney has started his personal appearance tour of U. S. army and navy bases in the Euro pean war theater; expects to re main abroad for three months. He rehearsed six weeks with a dance coach before leaving Hollywood, on a cavalcade of American dancing from George Primrose to Fred Astaire. Shopping for lingerie with his wife, Geoffrey Barnes, he of the ominous voice on "The Mystery Theater,” yielded to the temptation to use his radio voice on the ele vator operator. Bernes says he nev er had an easier time getting out. Next time you hear Cary Grant In a radio play, picture him acting out ail the dialogue as if he were before the camera. When he’s out of a scene he walks into the wings, min gles with the supporting players, and contributes to the off-stage sound effects. After finishing the hilarious "The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek” Preston Sturges left Paramount; now he’s gone into partnership with Howard Hughes, who'll be his financial back er. That combination should pro duce some startling pictures! ; Dimitri Shostakovich’s Eighth Symphony will be given its first performance in the Western hemi sphere over the CBS network on Sunday, April 2, by the New York Philharmonic symphony. Bill Downs brought the symphony back from Moscow. ODDS AND ENDS-Thot Flying For tress named for nIFc, the Feoplen is still blasting away at the Germans . . .

IMPROVED , UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL Luesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by W estern Newspaper Union. Lesson for March 19 . Lesson subjects , and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by • International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS CRUCIFIED LESSON TEXT:. Mark 15:22-27. 29-39.• GOLDEN TEXT: He was wounded for Our transgressions, he was bruised for out Iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.—Isaiah 53:5. The crucifixion of Christ brings us to that darkest of all days in the his tory of the world, when wicked men With cruel hearts and hands cruci fied the loving Son of God. But, thanks • be to God, it was also the day when bright hope shone forth for sinful humanity, for in' His death Christ bore our sins upon the tree, the veil was rent, the old sacrifices were set aside, and the “new and living way” was opened into the “holiest by the blood of Jesus” (Heb.. 10:20).. The cross is not just an ornament to decorate the steeple of a church, or to adorn man. It speaks of the black horror, of the cry, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” But it also tells of our God, who "so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son” as its Redeemer. What does Calvary mean to us? It means that— I. The Saviour Died So We Could Live (vv. 22-27). The details of and circumstances surrounding the crucifixion are of deep interest to every Christian. We stand with Luther and weep as we see Christ’s unspeakable agony, not only of body but of spirit, and we cry, “For me, for me!” How can any believer contemplate the cross and withhold self, substance, or service from Christ? There would be less careless, self ish .living if we would go often to the story of the death of Christ and rec ognize the loving, sacrificial devo tion of Christ. - ------ Equally heart-searching Is the message of the cross to the unbeliev er. He knows he is a sinner (Rom. 3:23); he knows that "the wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23), and he knows that “neither is there salva tion in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Here at the cross he meets that one “who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should iive unto right eousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” (I Pet. 2:24). Note the difference between the two thieves who were hanged with Jesus, for it is the difference be tween those who face Christ in our day. One railed on Him (Luke 23: 39), while the other, repentant, had a faith that'looked all the way into Paradise (Luke 23:43). II. The Son Was Forsaken So We Could Be Accepted (vv. 29-36). Awful was the railing and mock ing which our Lord endured on the cross. It must have made His de voted, loving heart well-nigh break as He saw the scorn of the very ones He died to save. Yet it was as nothing compared to that moment when He who knew no sin “was made sin for us” (II Cor. 5:21). Bearing the awful load of the sin of the world He knew the bitter agony of being forsaken by the Father. He turned His head away and we hear that saddest of all cries, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” We cannot fathom the full mean ing of that hour, we dare not attempt to explain it, we can only accept it and thank God that because He did become sin for us we may be “made the righteousness of God in him” (II Cor. 5:21). He died that we might live. He was forsaken that we might be “accepted in” Him “the beloved” (Eph. 1:6). After the darkness, however, comes the light. He died not as a martyr, a vanquished gladiator de feated in battle: no, there was vic tory. III. The Veil Was Rent So We Could Enter (vv. 37-39). The death of Jesus was not the pitiful weakening of a human mar tyr. Here was the Son of God, cry ing with a loud voice (v. 37), giving up His spirit to the Father (Luke 27:46), declaring that the work of redemption was “finished.” As a visible indication of that fact, and as a declaration that the old dispensation of law had given place to the new dispensation of grace, God tore the temple veil in twain. Only He could have done it. No man could have torn this sixty- foot long, twenty-foot wide, and inch- thick curtain, and note that it was torn from top to bottom. This was the act of God. This veil had hung in the temple to keep all but the high priest out of the Holy of Ho lies, and he entered with fear and trembling but once a year as the representative of the people. Now all this is changed. We have now, “brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil.” Therefore, “let us draw near with a true heart and full assurance of faith” (Heb. 10:19-22). n n u m M i iflili o) M tti IBttaiVI-I S qt ttttttl It) A S CRISP and colorful -as a Iove- * * Iy May day—a white Shasta Daisy teacloth, 42 inches square.

MOCKSVTLLE. N. C. Who’s News This Week By Delos Wheeler Lovelace Spearheading War on Typhus in 4Sunny Italy’ ! Consolidated Features.—-WNU Release. NEW YORK.—In November, 1917, when the United States had been in World W ar I for seven months, the navy sent to its Brook- c a Iyn yard anSpruance Coesto A n n a p o lis Sea in This War; graduate U A n Admiral Now ^ ears ° ut olthe academy and just turned 30. He’d had a post graduate course in electrical engi neering and he’d helped build the battleship Pennsylvania before go ing to sea in her. The powers that be figured that he’d m ake a top- notch electrical superintendent. The only person displeased about the whole thing was Raymond Amos Spruance himself. In fact, the only thing that delighted him was that he managed to wangle a couple of months afloat in 1918. This time it has turned out the way he likes it, and President Roosevelt recommends that this same officer, now 57 and a vice admiral, be promoted to admiral for his success as commander of the mighty assault force that just trounced the Japs in the AIarshail islands. The admiral’s a man who shuns the limelight, hut talk to navy men and they’ll tell you he’s tops as a tactician. He plans his moves meticulously, and carries them out with skill and daring. He and Vice Ad miral Fletcher drove the Japs back at Alidway in 1942, and Spruance himself had charge of the conquest of the Gilberts. He packs a tremendous amount of energy in his medium build, and he drives himself and the men with him hard when the heat is on. His rug ged face had been weathered by m any a salt breeze. His blue, flinty eyes are those of a born commander. The Spruances are a family of four. His wife and daughter live out on the Pacific coast and his son, true to the navy tradition, is an officer on a submarine. QUITE likely Mrs. George C. Marshall is doing a little extra listening these days. The thoughtful chief of staff of the Army of the General Has Silent ^ n ' 1 e ^ * Ready with spray guns and other delonsing equipment, members of the flying squad of the U. S. army assigned to fight typhus in Naples (left) are off to investigate reports of a case of lice-carried disease. In pic ture at top a baby member of a Neapolitan family is given a dose of lice-killing powder. The man with the gun is an Italian member of a delousing squad. Right: Here the “target” is a woman who has been exposed to typhus. She has been living in a filthy tunnel in the slum section of Naples. U. S. Nurses Get Jungle-Wise in Indian Jungle A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BY THE LEADING WAR CORRESPONDENTS' Jugoslavia’s T ito ’ By Frank Gervasi Audience in Mrs. Geo. C. Marshall States talks out his prob lems to his wife as to no one else. And with the going a trifle heavy in Italy he m ay be talk ing more than usual. It is to be noted that the gen era] talks his problems to, and not with, Airs. Marshall. Unlike some Washington wives she pre tends to no expert knowledge in her husband’s field, even the edges of it. Her role is that of audience while the sometimes harassed general thinks out loud. For this role she is nicely fitted. She used to be a Shakesperian actress and early learned to show a lively, but silent interest wbile AIansfield and others reeled off the long, magnificent speeches of the Bard. Por both the M arshalls this is their second m arriage. He m et her on a boat when she was a Baltimore law yer's widow, m et her again on land, decided he had done enough reconnaissance and found she felt the sam e way. A slim wife, hardly np to her husband’s shoulder, with modish gray hair, she is finely propor tioned for the roles of Prgtia, Juliet and Rosalind. These were among her favorites. Ophelia was one of her favorites, too, but that can hardly be of any present help. m Four IT. S. nurses now in training to replace Lieut. Co!. Gordon Seagrave and his Burmese nurses on the Burma front, are shown (left) cooking chow over their fire during an eight-mile hike with full combat packs They are trained to live in the jungle in order that they may be better able to care for their patients. Bight: An army nurse pushes her way through thick jungles of bamboo on the Indian-Burmese border. Barkley Breaks With President Roosevelt Col. Rath Streeter And the A farin es Have No Regrets f^LEN. Alexander A. Vandegrift, commandant of the m arine corps, m arks the first birthday of the women’s reserve with an all en com passing "well done,” and a smile lights up the k een blue eyes of Col. Ruth Cheney Streeter. Those are the very words she has been waiting 12 months to hear. She knew that at the start the leather necks, almost to a m an, were from Missouri as far as her organization was concerned. Now the stam p of approval is as em phatic as the skep ticism was real, and the director of the reserve is justly proud. A year ago if this action-loving wife of a lawyer could have bad her way, she’d have been ferry ing planes overseas. She had learned to fly at 45 and held a civilian pilot’s license, and it seemed pretty silly to her that Washington thought 47 too old for the Ferry Command. Her year in the marines has erased that disappointment. She adm its she was startled when the m arines commissioned her a m ajor in January of 1943 and set her to bossing the sister group to the WAVES. She had found time from running her home in Morris town, N. J., and bringing up her four children to participate in wel fare and defense work, but this was something else again. She received her second promotion in a year last January and now she far outranks her three sons in service, two in the navy and one in the arm y. Only her husband and her daughter are not in uniform. Sen. Alben Barkley (D., Ky.), who announced his resignation as Democratic leader of the senate in protest against President Roosevelt’s attack on congress in the tax veto message, is shown as he met with members of the press after his sensational speech. A fighting mad con gress rallied behind him. Senate Democrats reelected him leader. Tech Head Paints a Self-Portrait 4 His family “made” him wear a smcck, but Dr. Robert E. Doherty, president of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, says it would have seemed more fun if he could get paint on himself while doing a self- ! portrait. His self-portrait won him the first prize of the Associated Art- I isfs of Fitfsburgh exhibit. Fainting the educator’s hobby. • Zeros His Specialty Staff Scrgt. John A.

Pera •Zivkovic, strong-arm front m an for the late pious, dictatorial King Alex ander. . Josip Broz did not have a birth certificate, much less a passport. For the entire year 1928, he lived in the political underworld of cellars and garrets in Belgrade, Zagreb and Split," and wherever he could find refuge. His crime? He had organized the Metal Workers’ Union and was one of the leaders of the trade-union movement in Jugoslavia. He was caught early in 1929 and jailed. He was released four years later with gray in the soft waves of his brown hair, ulcers in his stom ach and a dream in his brain. Leader of 300,000 Fighters. Today, at the age of 55, he stands at the head of an arm y of 200,000 and possibly 300,000 oddly uniformed but uniformly determined men and women known as "Partisans,” who i have proved everlastingly that slave ' men may win battles but free men I win wars. Today Josip Broz is the military 1 and spiritual leader of a movement I which.faas broken the Nazis’ hold on 1 the Balkans, obviated an Allied of fensive in southeastern Europe until the main German armies can be crushed in the East and West, and has given new meaning to the words : “A People’s War” and “The Four Freedoms.” i To his arm y and the guerrilla bands and to millions of Jugoslavs in freed territory and the outside ; world, Josip Broz is known as Tito. ! “Ti” m eans you and “To” means ' this. Broz has few idiosyncracies or m annerism s to m ark him apart from other men, but one of them is the habit of prefacing an order with ! “You do this.” Hence his name. It is pronounced Tee-toe. To the Titos of this world and their followers m ust go an indefinable m easure of credit for the victory that will be ours. To one particular Tito—he who was born on a 30-acre farm near Zagreb of a Croat father and a ! Slovene mother—must go most of the credit for the rebirth of Jugo slavia and the immobilization of the German arm ies in the Balkans, and the setting into motion of a revolu tion in southeastern Europe which might provide a perm anent solution to the problems of one-third of the people of that continent. Mikbailovitch Helped. What credit isn’t Tito’s must be given to D raja Mikhailovitch, who unfortunately chose, at one stage of his dram atic career as liberator, to turn from killing Germ ans to taking part in civil war and only sporadi cally resum ed the bigger job. Tito is of slightly more than me dium height, broad-shouldered, long- arm ed and sturdy-legged. His head sets low on his shoulders and it is a rem arkable head. In profile, it is the head of a poet and philosopher who is also a skilled craftsm an—a Cellini perhaps. Full face, it is the tough, determined visage of a triple threat halfback. A side view of this prodigious proletarian shows a high forehead, bulgy shaggy brows with a deep crease between them, capable of eloquent frowning. Tito’s nose is long, slightly beaked, with thick nos trils. He has a straight, kindly mouth, good chin and a heavy work man’s neck. There is wbat some would call an American Indian cast in his features. Face to face, he looks remarkably like a clean-shaven Stalin, the effect being accentuated consciously .or not by the cut of his unadorned broad- collared tunic. He speaks matter-of-factly, in a low, well-modulated voice, looks di rectly at you as he talks and never speaks until you have finished what you have to say. He talks, they say, to each individual in an audi ence, moving his eyes deliberately from one person to another. He smokes innumerable cigarettes, chain fashion, from a small holder. Far from being “a man of steel,” he is capable of great emotion. Mourns for Dead. “When something really bloody happens,” a man who spent months with him in Jugoslavia told me, “he’s knocked out. No hysterics, no pyrotechnics. He just retires qui etly for hours, as he did the night he got .word that his friends Milose-' vie and Kovasevic had been killed.” Out of their affection for Tito, the people have fashioned a legendary man of extraordinary courage and endurance who rides a white charg er and walks uphill to spare its strength, who is always at the hear of his guerrilla detachments G e m s of Thought WE DEEM those happy who, from the experience of life, have learned to bear its ills without being overcome by them .—Juvenal. Hope, like the glimmering taper's light, adorns and cheers our way; and still, as darker grows the night, emits a bright er ray.—Goldsmith. Joy comes and goes, hope ebbs and flows, Like the wave.

CHAPTER XIX 1 “The time Rumble died is impor tant,” he said. “The hands of his watch were stopped at nine-nine. But that is an. impossible ,hour; Rumble was alive at th'at time and with us in the bar. He checked out of the hotel at ten-thirty, and dis appeared. His body was found float ing later near the wharf. His bag, discovered in the water at the edge of the wharf, indicates that he was, in spite of his quarrel with Dwight Nichols, determined to go aboard the Orizaba and accompany us swordfishing the next day. Rumble was like that, senor; he was a strange man." “The hour of nine-nine has no meaning, unless we can explain it satisfactorily. That, I think, is quite simple. Of course, the watch could have stopped of itself, but I’m sure that’s not the explanation. The first day ashore after the Orizaba ar rived in Mazatlan, we met Rumble on the street. The time of day was mentioned. He looked at his watch, which I noted did not agree with mine. In. fact, it was two hours slow. He explained it by saying that he was still lsepping Los Ange les time; which is two hours slower than Mazatlan time. “Now,then,"Rogers went on ear nestly, “assuming that, on the night he died, his watch was still keeping Los Angeles time, what does that signify? He must have died at elev en-nine. That simplifies things im mensely. Wliere were we all at that time? Barry Madison and I at that time were on board the Orizaba. The others—Elsa, Dwight Nichols, Sam Chatfield and Reed Parton—came aboard about mid night. Reed Barton arrived alone at the wharf, having had to go around by his hotel for his things. Elsa, her father, and Dwight Nich ols went to the wharf together. What time, Reed, • did you reach the wharf?” •.“How long had.you been waiting when the others arrived?” “I’d have to guess, Hunt. Per haps twenty minutes. Maybe half an hour.” “Did you see anything of Rum ble?” “No.” Rogers turned to Dwight. ‘What time did you reach the wharf?” “Oh,” said Dwight, “we left the hotel at a quarter to twelve. Went down in a taxi. Shouldn’t have taken five minutes.” “Now, this question, Dwight: Aft er Barry and I left you and Sam Chatfield together, what happened? Were you together the remainder of the evening?” Dwight was slow to answer. At length he replied: “No. Sam and I separated at ten-thirty. He said there was something he had to do yet before he could go aboard the Orizaba- He came back about an hour later. It was eleven-thirty, at any rate, when I met him again.” “Perhaps, senor, we have made a wrong assumption somewhere— our discussion has not disclosed the murderer. Perhaps,” he paused, his manner somewhat hesitant, “perhaps this testimony you’ve heard just now seems rehearsed, senor; but I assure you it is not. I have realized that Dwight Nichols and Sam Chatfield could not have been in each other’s company all that evening, but I have not known the facts until now. “Earlier,” Rogers continued, a new note of confidence coming into his v.oice, “I assumed that it was proper to exclude from suspicion all thosq persons who, subsequently to ,Katherine Chatfield’s death, died by violencd. I named Chesebro, Sam Ckatfield and Rumble as victims of and not the probable killer.” “Yes, sir.” “Consider for a moment Sam Chatfield—” “Senor Chatfield?” “Yes. He had a most excellent motive for killing his sister. Mrs. Nichols, some months ago said this of him: ‘He .clutched decency to himself with all the passion of a fierce new love.’ Now, then, had not his sister, an unmarried woman, disgraced the family by bearing a child? Had she not committed an even greater wrong against his daughter Elsa? “And so—” Rogers drew from his pocket the rotogravure clipping and gave it to Lombardo. “After Sam Chatfield had died, I found thi3 on his desk at the rancho. Senor Lom bardo, you did not know Chesebro, and, therefore, the point is lost upon you. But the child in the picture bears an unmistakable likeness to Chesebro. I believe that Sam Chat field did not know that Chesebro was the guilty man until this pic ture from the paper came into his possession. When it did, Chesebro already was in his house in bed and suffering from a heart attack. Dwight Nichols and Sam Chatfield were of similar build and height. How easy for Pedro, if he did actu ally see Sam Chatfield on his way to murder Chesebro, to confuse him with Nichols! “Reed”—Rogers turned abruptly to Reed Barton—“your fish knife was used to kill Rumble. Can you explain that away?” Reed Barton sat staring over the rail at th e town. He shifted his long legs and said: “I can tell you Elsa what I think happened, Hunt. The knife was in my room at the hotel the morning I was arrested. Later, when I went to get my things to gether for the fishing trip, I looked for the knife to take with me, but it was gone. I did not see it again until I found it on Senor Lombardo’s desk at headquarters.” “Do you accuse anybody?” “No. But there is this to think about: While I was in jail, I asked Mr. Chatfield to get my watch from my room at the hotel. He brought it to me a couple of hours later. I’ve since investigated and I’m con vinced that Mr. Chatfield is the only one who visited my room and could have taken it.” “Ah, so?” breathed Lombardo. “Felipe,” the conversation shifted swiftly into Spanish, as Rogers at last addressed the older of the two mariachis, “I want you to answer some questions.” “Si, senor.” “Did Senora Chatfield send you and Pancho with a note to the rancho?” “Yes, sir.” “Did you see anything of Senora Chatfield when you returned to the wharf?” “No, sir. And when the launch is gone, Pancho and I go toward the town. Just as we are leaving the wharf the senor with the big som brero and the fine clothes he passes us going out onto the wharf. ’ And W .N .U ,SEftVtCE behind him not very far is anothel senor following him. This is Senot Chatfield. Pancho and I recognize him but we do not speak. We are loafing on the street near the wharf all the time, and soon Senor Chat field comes walking very fast to ward the town. He does not see us. Pancho asks: ‘What is his hur ry, Felipe?’ and I say I do not know. Then I wonder if the senor with the fine clothes is still out on the wharf. And I say to Pancho, ‘Let’s go and talk to the senor,’ be cause he is un gran caballero, and perhaps we can sing for him. “Well, senor, we go, Pancho and I. But he is not on the wharf. We think the launch has come and tak en him, only the time is too short. But we do not know.” Silence fell upon us at the con clusion of this lengthy account. Rog-. ers thanked the youth and turned to Lombardo. “Senor," he said, “are you satis fied now, as I am satisfied, that when Saih Chatfield separated from Dwight Nichols at the hotel that, night, he followed George Rumble to the wharf because he feared that Rumble would tell what he knew, and killed him with the knife he had taken from Reed Barton’s room? And threw the body from the wharf and tossed the bag and the weapon after him, and then returned to meet the others of the party at the hotel?” “Yes, Senor Rogers, I am satis fied.” “The death of Sam Chatfield can have been only an accident. It oc curred before the fate of George Rumble was known, and for that reason confused me. A perfectly natural accident, I should say, and a fate justly due the man.” “I agree, senor.” Rogers abruptly left us and went to the companionway. He disap peared for a few minutes, then re turned carrying the huge black som brero with its silver ornaments. He stopped before us, turned the hat upside down and his fingers slip inside the sweatband. He drew out a slip of paper, and held it out to Lombardo. “The handwriting is that of Rum ble,” he said. I noted the imma ture, schoolboy writing I’d seen be fore. “You can verify it at the newspaper office. You will note the names in the following order: Mad ison, Barton, Rogers, Nichols, Chat field, Chesebro. Those are names of the men in this party, excepting Rumble’s. You note that every name is crossed out in the same heavy pencil line, except the name of Chatfield. For what it’s worth, it’s the evidence, Senor Lombardo, offered by a dead hand. By vshat means he discovered Sam Chat field’s guilt we’ll never know. Th* slip was found only last night.” “I am satisfied, Senor Rogers,” Lombardo repeated, rising. “I shall go ashore now and set Pedro free. He cannot be guilty now.” As the two shook hands and wen* down the ladder, followed by Felipe and Pancho, the launch appeared with Elsa, Margaret and Berta, ea ger now to come aboard, to leave Mazatlan behind them. They paused to say goodby to Lombardo and Doctor Cruz and the two boys, and then came up the ladder. We stowed the launch and lashed it down, and an hour or so later in the full sunshine that beat down upon us out of a hot sky we lifted anchor and dropped down stream toward the long swells of the open ocean.

But multiply y o u rse lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen becomes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he regained consciousness, asked: "Did I do my best?" That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you decide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is "your best" will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the window of your home. **Let*s Keep Backing the Attack.** THE EDITOR.

Treasury Department Red Cross Field Men Tackle Yanks’ Problems Overseas * 9 ,.. .■ I,,*.— . One of the very Important functions of the American Red Cross Is the direct communication it affords between the fighting man and his people back home. Here Red Cross Field Director John L. Barnes (left), of White Plains, N. Yh gives a message to Sgt. William J. McDonald, Jr., of Mamaroneck, N. Y. Picture was made in Sicily outside a straw Italian hutch with the rear headquarters of the 1st Division near Mt. Etna. On Masera Island, up in the Persian Gulf, where there is not a single tree standing and the wind blows across the island ceaselessly. Red Cross field men brought fishing tackle, books and writing paper to service men. Most welcome gift from the Red Cross was clippers for hair cutting—the boys had been without a barber for months. In Persia, a Red Cross Field Direc tor was able to locate a soldier’s moth er whom he hadn’t seen for 25 years. In Africa, Red Cross field men flew in Army planes, hitch-hiked In supply trucks, bumped In jeeps over bombed convoy routes, through blinding sand storms and glaring sun to help men with personal problems and emergency communications, and to deliver maga zines and books, cigarettes and choc olate to isolated posts and bases. In Italy, Red Cross field men ac companied the troops in on the inva sion barges. In India, a sergeant was sentenced to the guard house (or disorderly con duct. His officer couldn't understand the boy’s behaviour. He was a nice kid —he'd never gone to pieces before. The officer asked the Red Cross Field Director to see him. The Red Cross man discovered a very worried boy. His wife had not been receiving his allotments, she wasn’t well and needed an operation. She thought the Bold Ier must have cancelled his allot ments and a misunderstanding had arisen between them so that she was no longer writing him. The field man got in touch with the Red Cross chapter in the boy’s home town immediately, it took care of her. financed her operation and saw that she had adequate funds to provide for herself until the allotment again came through. When the Red Cross man explained what had happened to the soldier’s Commanding Officer, the latter prompt ly released the boy from the guard house. From then on the boy was all right. His worries were over, and the Army had gained a good fighting man. AU over the world, in every then, tre of war and active battle front go the American Red Cross field men— helping soldiers with major and minor personal problems, bringing them rec reational Items such as magazines, books, comfort articles, athletic equip ment, and re-establishing their contact with home. These men share the con ditions and hazards under which the soldiers fight. They also share their lives. They are on call day and night whenever they are needed. G.I.’a overseas have many problems. Often home seems very, very far away. With the Red Cross there at hand wherever he may he, the .zqldier' knows be can always get In touch with home —that he need never feel alone with problems he doesn't know'how to solve himself. More than ’ 3,000,000 service men passed through Red Cross.Jield men’s offices last year. On the mud clogged roads of Italy,, through the tar Jungles of New Guinea, on lonely desert posts. Red Cross field men take your place beside your boy. In order to continue this service, the Red Cross urgently needs contributions from the American people to its $200,- -000,000 War Fund drive this month.

So far as we know, there is npt a vacant house iu town. Miss Lillie Foster, who under- went.an operation for appendicitis at the Twin Citv Hosoital several davs ago, is getting along nicely.

Brady Foster, of W inston, who has been ill at the home of bis par ents in this city for the past month, has about recovered and will return to work this week. J. J.

The table is a beauty and is on exebition at tbe Bank of Davie. The Davie county Baraca-Phila- thea county convention will meet at Smith Grove Methodist church on Saturday and Sunday, April 28-2qth. P. A. Holman, one of our sub scribers living in low ;, writes us as follows: “ We are having fine weather now. Snow is all gone and the groundhog is out. We hope to see old Davie get the dog law, for it needs more schools and less dogs. We have nine months school and no dogs.” A blessed country is that in which Mr, Ho! man lives. Clifton, the six-year-old son of Mrs J. L. Smoot. Cooleemee, died early Sunday morning of measles. The little body was laid to rest at Salem church Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Tbe father, Mr. J, L Smoot, died about ten days ago. Clerk of the Court A. T. Grant, who has been confined to bis home with pneumonia for the past month, was able to be down town Monday afternoon. His many friends are mighty glad to see him out again, and hope that he will soon be fully recovered. The County Road Commission ers have purchased an Internation. a] auto tractor which will be used in keeping the road dtags and road scrapes moving. In the bond election held Satttr day only too votes were cast, 61 for the bonds and 39 against. .. _ T h e C ountry C hurch Rev. Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddenite.* N. C' It’s of the country church today Of every land and clime. Where saintly people meet to pray I w rite’thls truth sublime; And may our heartB be stirrrd and thrilled To know what God has wrought Among the people whom He filled By truth that’s soundly taught. The writers'of our sacred songs And poets, not a few. Can well be classed among the throngs That worshipped in her pew; And presidents have worshipped there. And statasmen by the score; Yes, mighty men have knelt in prayer Cod’s mercies to implore. Vast multitudes of preachers great. And teachers of the truth. Whose lives have blessed both church and state From early days of youth. Were saved from sin and all its blight At some dear country church. And then went forth to be a light And for lost sinners Bearch. Mankind of every class and clime. Of every race and creed, Who’ve blessed tbe world through years of time. And helped supply her need Of love and courage, peace and grace. Have been among the band. Who in some country church and place Pound God’s salvation grand. Oh, how we love the country church. And saints who worship there; Who would not stoop their souls to smirch. Nor do the things unfair; Who love to walk with God each da; And hold communion sweet. And for each*other watch and pray That none from God retreat! In con sisten t While citizens throughout the na tion are being urged to save waste paper and turn it in to salvage or ganizations several Government a- genciesin Washington are burning their waste paper, as they have been doing for years. W benaN ew Y ork City newspaper exposed this situa tion Federal officials denied it vig orously. Then the newspaper as signed staff photographers to make pictures of garbage men burning paper sent by Federal agencies in Federal trucks to the dump. Con fronted with this evidence Federal officials blamed it on “ignorance in the bureaus.” There’s no doubt about the ignor ance, but when “ignorant” bureau crats do not observe the Govern ment’s appeals to conserve materials that will contribute to the war effort can you blame the ordinary citizen who patriotically cooperates in sal vage drives, buys war bonds and pays taxes for becoming skeptical, resentful and belligerent?

He in a small Ameri can town, and he wrote of his own people, recording the events in their daily lives, vet he possessed to such degree the power to express the common needs of all mankind in his reporting that the world soon knew of Emporta and its editor. He was a straight shooter, but his fairness and his sense of hnmor always took the sting out of his writings. He should ever serve as an example and an inspiration to the small town paper that should have ever before it, the ideals of serving the community which it calls home. While he became through the very human quality of his writing a citizen of the world and was at home with the great'of this"earth, he was first of all a citizen of Em poria. He looked for the good and found it as shown in tbe following from bis writings: llEverv friend of my childhood is my friends today. I have never had a major quarrel with anyone, and I am not con scious of having and I am not con scious of having an enemy. No over tried to do me wrong. No one ever betrayed me, nor so far as I know ev*;r tried to hurt me or to swindle me. I have found human itv good, with much more that was tound fine than false.” His life blazed a new trail for tbe small town paper, and today upon his passing, he is ucclained as tbe “ greatest American editor” b y many. He left tbe small town newspaper a valuable legancy, if we who edit them will only claim it for our own.—The WaynesviUe Moun taineer. - T a k e Y our C h oice— People are always having laughs at the expense of deaf people. There is the story of the Episcopal minister who wished to introduce some new hymn books and asked tbe clerks to give out a notice a. bout them immediately after the sermon Tbe clerk, however, had another notice to give about tbe baptism of infants. Accordingly, at the close of serm. n, he announc ed: “ All those who have children they wished baptized please send in their names at once.” Tbe clergy man, who was deaf, supposing tbe clerk was giviug out the hymn book notice, immediately arose and said: “ And I want to say for tbe benefit ot those who haveu’t any, that they may be obtained from me anv day between three and four o’clock; the ordinary little ones at fif'een cents, and special ones witb red backs at twenty • five cents each For tbe benefit of any who think the above yarn is too risque, we must say we borrowed it from tbe Biblical Recorder.—Ex W ar M other’s W arning R.

Kania, a veteran of World W ar II did something many an Ameri can has been itching to do for a long time. He socked fobn L. Lewis in the eye. Not that we approve of such con duct ordinarily. A fight never has settled anything and we wouldn’t want to see our returned soldiers cruising about the country bruising people they don’t like But Lewis has been asking for it time and a- gain, and now that he got the sock in the glimmer everybody will be happy. That is, everybody except Lewis. I And even Lewis has something to be glad alout, if he can take it Io- sophically, for O. P. A. has just announced a substantial cut in meat points, so John L. should be able to get a suitable bunk of raw meat to cover his darkened orb and draw out tbe pizen. “ We just hope you people witb the newspapers will tell this story,” We’ve fcnown it a long time Those servicemen have been right vocal in expressing their feelings a- bout strikes for big pay back home when they were risking tbeir necks on tbe battlefronts for $ 5 0 or so a month. The newspapers haven't been holding out on them either. Thousands of letters have been published all over the country, com ing from all parts of the world, and if many others never saw printer’s ink it was only that they were so explosive that thev were unprin table Corporal Kania’s call on the mine workers’ czar will get front page | publicity and editorial comment ’ from Maine to California, and it may have a highly salutary effect. PerUaps other labor leaders will think twice now before calling a strike; perhaps government agen. cies will hesitate longer before capi* tulating to such ultimatums as that issued by John L.

Are we going to have government by es tablished law or one-man rule? Are tbe men and women in tbe armed serviees to receive r. Consti tutional ballot or a Roosevelt bal lot? W ar or no war, tbe Constl. tution of tbe United States should not be by-passed in this or anv other respect. The kind of ballot proposed by tbe fourth term spon sors contains no names whatsoever, and restricts members of the armed forces to voting only for national offices. There has been no such ballot in tbe history cf the United States. The men and women in the arm ed forces should be given a ballot that enables them to know who the candidates, and to see the whole political picture at home, in every county and state. Let it be remembered that the President who now expresses great solitude for tbe voters now in tbe armed forces regarding tbfir right to vote and who desire tbe “ bob* tailed” incomplete ballot vetoed the soldier bonus iu 1935 and 1936.

Thousands of letters have been published ail over the country, com ing from all parts of the world, and if many others never saw printer’s ink it was only that they were so explosive that thev were unprin table Corporal Kania's call on the mine workers’ czar will get front page publicity and editorial comment from Maine to California, and it may have a highly salutary effect. Perhaps other labor leaders will think twice now before calling a strike; perhaps government agen cies will hesitate longer before capi tulating to such ultimatums as that issued by John L.

Are we going to have government by es tablished law or one-man rule? Are the men aod women in the armed services to receive l Consti tutional ballot or a Roosevelt bal lot? W ar or no war, the Constl- tution of the United States should not be by-passed in this or any other respect. The kind of ballot proposed by the fourth term spon sors contains no names whatsoever, and restricts members of the armed forces to voting only for national offices. There has been no such ballot in the history of the United States. The men and women in the arm ed forces should be given a ballot that enables them to know who the candidates, and to see the whole political picture at borne, in every county and state. Let it be remembered that the President wao now expresses great solitude for the voters now in the armed forces regarding their right to vote and who desire the "bob. tailed” incomplete ballot vetoed the soldier bonus in 1935 and 1936.

L. WHITE. CHAPTEE I The grizzled old Flying Fortress stood on the runway of an American airfield, presently to depart for an other continent and another war zone. Those scratches on her run ning gear were made by sand grains of Wake Island when she was on her way to the Far East before, the war. That little dent on her wing was made by a spent-bomb fragment the day the war began, when the Japa nese destroyed all but a very few of our Far Eastern Air Force on Clark Field in the Philippines. She was one of those few. The battle paint on her wings was later blis tered by the sun in the high skies over Java, and still later nicked by sandstorms over the Australian des ert. Of the very few to escape Clark Field, she is the only one to come home, and now, her guns removed, she is an old war horse turned out to pasture, the transport plane of a three-star general of the American Air Force. Lieutenant General George H. Brett, USA, who until recently commanded the Far Eastern skies lor the United Nations. On her side is a jaunty emblem daubed there by the hand of some boy, unknown now and probably dead—the outline of a misshapen bird “The Swoose”—“half swan and half goose’’—taken from a jingle, and beneath it the skeptical legend “It Flies?” It did, for countless thousands of miles through cloud canyons and over oceans and islands of the war zone, and now in the shade of her wing sit six who have a story to tell. The pilot is standing. He is Frank Kurtz, who has been three times a member of the champion ship American Olympic Team as a high diver, who a year ago was a lieutenant in the 19th Bombardment Group, and who now holds the Dis tinguished Flying Cross and the Sil ver Star, and is a lieutenant colonel at thirty-one. The others are Margo, his pretty, blonde, blue-eyed wife; Captain Har ry Schrieber, his black-eyed, black haired navigator; Master Sergeant Charlie Reeves, his bombardier; Master Sergeant Rowland Boone, his gunner; and Master Sergeant “Red” Varner, the merriest embalmer in the Air Corps, who a few years ago ran a comfortable little undertaking parlor out on the Coast. “Red” is now crew chief of the Swoose, and lords it over the ground crews who swarm over her to check her engines when she hits the ground. He brings hot coffee and sandwiches to her pilot and passen gers when she is aloft, and it was his duty in Java and-Australia to steal anything from a carburetor to a roasting chicken necessary to keep the General comfortable and the Swoose in the air. But this is get ting ahead of the story. Since this was wriUen, all the master sergeants oj the Swoose crew have been commissioned. Meanwhile Frank, the pilot, paces up and down. It isn’t easy for him to begin. Few things have been easy for Frank Kurtz. It wasn’t easy as a boy, when he earned his living selling papers on the streets of Kan sas City. It wasn’t easy later to leave home when he was fourteen because he had decided to become an Olympic platform diver and there was a famous instructor on the COast the boy hoped he could persuade to coach him. He did per suade him, but it wasn’t.easy to earn his way through Hollywood High School while he took the train ing. Before leaving him, Frank had decided to become a pilot. He’ll tell you it’s so much like diving—all you need is perfect balance and timing and control; yet it wasn’t easy to take those many hours of flying les sons, or later to win the Junior World’s Landplane Speed Record, or to work his way through college and marry so popular and pretty a girl as Margo, or to learn to fly . the Army way at Randolph Field. . All of it was hard, and Frank is never quite satisfied, because he’s sure, looking back, that they all could have been done maybe a little better or at least a little quicker if he’d only worked harder; so natural ly he’s modest about them. “I don’t know where it begins,” he said. “Maybe with the Swoose. Yet she wasn’t my plane at the very first. I think it begins with Old 99, my very first plane, and with old Tex, (Lieutenant Arthur Edward GaryJ my co-pilot, and the rest of my crew, that I saw lying there on Clark Field—eight in a fine. “Maybe it begins with Old 99 and those eight in a line, lying so still, and it was such a bright, sunshiny day, and so quiet after the Jap bombers left “You see, on the morning war be gan Old 99 was clear down at the A rS The grizzled old Flying Fortress stood on the runway. other end of the field, out of sight beyond the hump in the runway, and my crew was waiting with her, keep ing her all' warmed for the takeoff while I went to lunch and to the pilots’ meeting. “I was to have bicycled over to them, and we were to have taken off for Formosa, to take pictures of what the Japs were doing. “I had finished lunch when the first wave hit. After that I had to stay in the foxhole for about an hour while they strafed the field. But when the fighters left, I jumped on my bike and rode down the runway through the smoke of the other burn ing Fortresses, to see what had hap pened to Old 99. “Only if I begin here, maybe no body would understand what his plane and his crew means to a pilot; that it’s like his home and his fam ily. Boys you’ve lived with and worked with for months. Your life has depended on them and their lives on you. And you’ve seen the pictures of their wives or girls, and know just where they carry them in their wallets, and how proud they are of them, and you’ve told them about your wife, and they know what you hope for in the future, and what you haven’t told' them you know they’ve guessed, and the same with you about them. “And the plane—it isn’t something that belongs to the Government witfi a number; it’s Old 99, the beauti ful new Flying Fortress that belongs to you. It’s more than your home —it’s, well, a kind of a sweetheart. AU of you picked her up off the as sembly line at the Boeing plant where she was born — a beautiful, smooth, shining, naked thing. Then aU of you took her up over the clouds- and wrapped that beautiful blue star-spangled gown of the skies around her, which is the way every Fortress ought to be dressed, be cause they’re the Queens of the high skies. “And you’re so damn proud of her, aU of you—knowing you’re fly ing a Fortress, which everybody -FEAiattEf admits is the best ship in the busi ness. So there isn’t anything any of you won’t do—pilots and greaseballs of the ground crew alike—to keep her polished and adjusted and tick ing like the high-precision watch she was when you got her. “Well, as I said, there was a rise in the runway, and as I ped aled up it, for a minute I was afraid what I would see, looking ahead. But then my heart suddenly gave a big pound, because there was Old 99’s vertical stabilizer—the big curve of her tail rising high like a game salmon’s tail fin—gleaming above the runway; so I pumped"the bike a few times more, being thankful it was a good American bike I’d bought off a fighter pilot instead of the junky Jap copies that are so cheap in Manila, only, my God, then —just then— “I don’t know whether I got off the bike at that point or not. Or fell off it. Or rode on a while, and then left it lying by the runway. AU I can remember is how Old 99 looked and, a Uttle later, walking over the field, slowly, toward her; afraid to come too close, too fast. Think about it not as a plane that has burned, or even your own house, but like it .was a good friend burned up. And all that is left is that taU silver tail still up in the air, not even scorched or smoke-stained, and I am walking over the field toward her. “Her poor old ribs black, twisted now; and with the aluminum skin melted off them so her carcass is naked, and you can see right through into the pilot’s compart ment, and the seats where I sat, and good old Tex, my co-pilot, right be side me. And my control wheel, and my two sets of pedals, and the dupUcate set for Tex, only aU melt ed or twisted with the heat—even the wall bracket where the coffee thermos used to hang is stiU there, only aU twisted. And her four mo tors tumbled forward out of their nacelles in her crumpled wings onto the ground—everything about Old 99 stiU there, only melted and bent and ruined and her back sagging and broken, like you would take a delicate sUver flying fish between your fists and break its back and drop it on the ground to die. “Everything there, only something else, too. And I couldn’t make out what it was. Yet I must have guessed. Because I began to feel sick at my heart and my stomach when I saw that curious, half-burned bundle of something lying there un der the crumpled wing, and as I got closer I couldn’t even deny to my self what it was. One of my crew. Lying under there. And right be side him another. Poor faithful boys, following orders, staying Ioy- aUy by Old 99 even in the face of the advancing Japanese bomb pat tern across the field like a hailstorm —and under the plane’s crumpled beUy stiU another, and under the taU our Uttle Dodson—he must have run under there for shelter, and Old 99’s taU settled down on him as her back girders melted when she burned. But only after I had walked around the tail could I see the eight in a line. “There they were, lying so very stiU on this beautiful quiet day, my eight boys of Old 99’s crew in a senseless, irregular line toward the woods, to which they had been run ning for shelter when they aU had been killed at once, and left sprawl ing as they died. “I remember standing there by the tail and counting — one, two, three, In that line and so on up to eight, toward the woods—my boys and each one I knew. Standing there, I could see it but not realize it even though I knew it—knew which ones would have their wives’ and girls’ crumpled pictures in their pockets. I knew they were dead now, and I started walking down that irregular Une of men who had been running toward the woods, and then very suddenly it began to get me. For a while I don’t know what I did. Then I remember going along the line from one to the other, talk ing to each the way I always would, and patting him on the shoulder like he were alive, because for me they weren’t dead yet. And cry ing. And I’m not ashamed of that. ’.‘Talking to each, from good old Sergeant Burgess, who was near est the plane, on down the irregular line to dear old Tex at the very end, with aU his clothes tom off by the blast. I recognized his shoul ders. They were a fighter’s big broad shoulders—Tex had been box ing champion of Texas A. & M. “So maybe for me it begins when I got to where Tex was lying, and sat down by him to talk it over, lift ing his curly head with one hand and patting his hairy back with the other. It was stUl soft and warm. It wasn’t a body yet. It was Tex him self at the end of that sprawUng line. I told him I didn’t know why this had happened any more than he did. But they could trust me to find out, so it would never happen again. But regardless of that, he must un d ersta n d this wasn’t the end. (TO BB CONTINUED) ww^improved ........ UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL L esson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, Released by W estern Newspaper Union. Lesson for March 23 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE SACREDNESS OF LIFE (TEMPERANCE LESSON) LESSON TEXT: Gen. 1:27, 28: M a tt 12: il, 12; Rom. 14:19-21; I Cor. S:19, 20. GOLDEN TEX T: Know ye not that your body is the tem ple ol the Holy Spirit?—I Corinthians 6:19. A high and ennobling concept of Ihe value of human life is an impor tant element in Christian thought. The Word of God always regards human life as sacred—a gift of God to be used for His glory, never to be exploited for gain or destroyed at will. This important truth needs con stant reiteration in a social order which is so shortsighted and sinful that it will permit the destruction of man through the sale and use of alco holic beverages. The lesson has a real application to the liquor prob lem. I. Uod Honored Man (Gen. 1:27, 28). It should be of primary interest and concern to discover what the Maker and Lord thinks of His crea tion, man. He knows what is in man and if we learn of Him we may come to evaluate man aright. 1. He Made Him in His Own Image (v. 27). The teaching of Scripture makes it clear that this image was • not anything material or physical, but rather a likeness of personality. As God is a personal, moral, intelligent Being, so is man. How tragic then that man will not only reject that grace, but will sub ject his God-given personality to the narcotic and destructive influence of alcohol. Not only did God make man in His image, but— 2. He Gave Him Power and Authority (v. 28). This is the very thing man is seek ing, and here we learn that the only One who had a right to give it—God Himself—bestowed it upon man. Having dominion over the entire earth, man is in a place of responsi bility, not only for his own moral choices, but for the welfare of oth ers. Think that over as it relates to the ever-growing liquor problem. II. Man Should Honor Man (Matt. 12:11, 12; Rom. 14:19-21). Since God has such a high re gard for man, it is clear that we ought to have real respect for our fellow man. “Man’s inhumanity to man” is often declared to be the world’s greatest difficulty. It would not be so if God’s Word were obeyed. Man would learn that— 1. He Should Recognize His Fellow Man’s Value (Matt. 12:11, 12). Property values are so well to the front in the thinking of all, that it requires no argument to convince anyone that a sheep that has fallen into a pit should be rescued. But the sad thing is that the man who would run for help to rescue a sheep in that predicament will hardly cast an interested glance at the drunk in the gutter, or lose a few minutes sleep over the girls who are going to hell by way of our countless tav erns. The plain fact is that we do not regard a man as of more value than a sheep. Many a neighbor hood has been stirred to angry re prisal over the poisoning of a pet dog, but will let the liquor dealer poison men and women—all for a small license fee. The man who loves his fellow man knows that— 2. He Should Sacrifice for His Fel low Man’s Good (Rom. 14:19-21). Paul here states a high principle of Christian consideration. He makes clear that man is his broth er’s keeper and must do nothing which will tempt his brother to do that which will harm him. HI. Man Should Honor Himself (I Cor. 6:19, 20). Man is told not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think (Rom. 12:3), and that is good counsel. But at the same time he ought to think as highly of his own being as God does. He should rec ognize that— 1. His Body Is the Temple of the Holy Spirit (v. 19). The Bible teaches that the mo ment a man believes in Christ his body becomes the dwelling plac'e of the Holy Spirit. That means that he must never take that body in any place (such as ^.tavern) to do any thing or partake of anything (like intoxicants) which would dishonor the Holy Spirit of God. 2. He Belongs to God (v. 20). Men have been given a free will by God. He has given them the right of self-determination. That does not abrogate God’s right to man’s devotion and love. The fact that we are free to choose should make us the more deter mined that the right choice should be made—that we shall glorify God in our bodies, which are His. Does it take even a moment’s thought to tell us that the violation of that body (and every bit of scien tific evidence proves it to be a viola tion) by the use of alcohol is not only disobedient, but sinful rebellion against God.

N O R T H C A R O l i m a M aybe you’ve never had to call the fire departm ent — maybe you never will. But it’s a mighty comforting thought to know that it’s there, ready night and day to save you and yours from one of man’s most treacherous and terrifying enemies. The heroic work done by fire fighters in so m any of the towns and cities of our Allies, which have been showered with incendiaries and explosives, is drama itself. The job of our own fire men right here at home in North Caro- - Iina m ay be less spectacular but it’s no less important—particularly to us. Yet most of us give little thought to this vital safeguard of our everyday life— until an emergency comes along. There are 758 men in North Carolina whose full-time job is the protection of lives and property of the citizens of this State. These are the regular firemen— WILKINS DRUG CO. but there are hundreds more who are ready to do their share at a moment’s notice, the volunteer firemen. To all of these valiant men, we of the Greyhound Lines pay sincere tribute. We’re proud of these fellow-citizens— thankful for them, too. And we feel we have at least one thing in common with them. They’re fighting hard to improve the safety record of our State and so are we. In these tense and busy days, we feel that Greyhound, in providing safe, convenient transportation between this community and its good neighbors, is also playing its part in making N orth ' Carolina a safer, happier place to live Phone 21 Mocksville.

W ho’s News This W eek By DeIos WbeeIer Lovelace Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. N EW YORK. — Money matters have chiefly kept John W. Pehle busy through his years in govern ment service. He has been in the J.W . Pehle Handed l h a Y ^ f g AnofAer of Those b u ild in g C b m f tr M m . Titles and mainly at Secretary Morgen- thau’s right hand, or nearly. He has worn a number of the lengthy titles Bi which the department dresses its key men—senior attorney for the ex change stabilization fund, special attorney in the foreign exchange control division. Lately, as assist ant to the secretary, he has been in charge of the administration of the foreign funds control. Now, because of his executive talents, he may be pushed into the alien, humane post of direc tor of the War Refugees board. This is the board long sought to supervise the United States’ share of the rescue of Jewish people in occupied countries and finally set up by President Roosevelt. And since many of the rescued will find a haven in Palestine and bring fertility to its sandy wastes, PehIe may help to make true after 2,500 years the words of Isaiah. That prophet of boundless faith once WTote of a day when “The desert shall .. . blossom like the rose,” and “the ransomed . . . shall come to Zion with songs.” Thirty-five years old, Pehle was horn in Minneapolis. So he is a Minnesotan even though his folks quit the state so early that the schools of Nebraska and South Da kota helped educate him. His col leges are Creighton in Nebraska, and Yale, which is in Connecticut. There he got his law. He has been in government service for 10 years, fol lowing a short private practice in Hew York city. «--- IT SEEMS that George VI has been mighty busy, handing out knight hoods in the Order of the Bath to this American and that. But he has i/i rv ir an ou^ forGeorge V l ruling foreigners, Order of the Bath h o w e v e r To the Overttowing distinguished, are not Included when the roll is called to make sure that the limit set a cen tury and a quarter ago has not been exceeded. Latest American in the notable company is Lieut. Gen. Walter B. Smith. He moves into the middle rank, below the Knights Grand Cross but topping the Companions. Smith is chief of staff to General Eisenhower and before the imminent invasion has ended will have earned his decoration a couple of times. A colonel when this war startea, he has come up fast. No West Point er, a one-time reserve officer from Indiana, he entered the army in 1917 and did well then and in the following peace. He did well be cause he is smart, as chiefs of staff must be. He is a graduate of the general staff school, the war college and most of the army’s other crack courses. And when the general staff needed a secretary in 1939 he got the job. He has a strong, dark face, a wide, full mouth which is stub born—unless determined is a better word—and a decoration from North Africa which is quite different from the Order of the Bath. The French Colonial regi ment, the Second Spahis, made him an honorary Pfc. As such he is entitled to wear a red cloak which hangs down to his heels and probably is a lot snappier than any Bath costume.

Forty-six years old, Liu fin ished high school, went to Japan much as young Englishmen used to make the Grand Tour, then finished at the military academy at Paoting and the staff college at Nanking. When Japan at tacked China he was ordered to Shanghai. Since then he has been chief of staff or command er in half a dozen war zones. Now he is at thi Kunming head quarters. Liu got his nickname because he says "Gan Bay” when giving a toast to his American friends. “Gan Bay” means “Bottoms up.” He has planned on coming to America when the war is over and he says he will run a newspaper ad announcing that the Gan Bay general will be pleased to meet his friends . . . It ought to be-a dandy party. The son of a family of farmers and scholars, Liu was born in Shan tung province. He is married but childless. Of English he says he un derstands nothing, and he never speaks it. Closeups of Some of America’s Fighting Men / At left, Lieut, (j. g.)

A SERIES OF SPECIAL ARTICLES BYTHE LEADING AR CORRESPONDENTS Jitters in Japan By Joseph Newman (IlrNU FeatVTf—Throueh special arrangement with Tha American Magazine.) Japan is getting the jitters. We have it on no less an authority than Emperor Hirohito and his No. I war lord, General Hideki Tojo. Hiro- hito has told his pugnacious people that the outlook for Japan is now “truly grave,” and Tojo underscored the divine insight of the god-emperor by adding that the war situation is "very complicated." This, in the customary Japanese manner of speaking by indirection, is another way of saying: “The Yanks are coming.” And the Japanese man in the street, whether he shuffles along in his wooden clogs and traditional ki mono or wears the pinching leather shoes and tight-fitting sack coats copied from his occidental enemies, knows what that means. It means that the despised Yankees are on their way to the heart of the Japa nese Empire—and that they’re com ing with skyfuls of bombs for the industrial nerve center from which stems the terror and destruction spread by the Japanese throughout Asia and the Pacific. The Japanese, far better than their enemies, know just how vulnerable they are. They know that once their outer rim of defense is cracked, the heart of the empire will be exposed to a deathblow. That’s why the Japanese, in their opening stroke of war, pushed as hard and as fast as they could go to the north, south, east, and west, so as to shove the Americans from all bombing bases within reach of the main home islands. And that’s why, now that the outer rim is crumbling, Hirohito, Tojo, and the shuffling Japanese man in the street are very unhappy. They have heard what round-the-clock bombing has done to Berlin, Hamburg, Essen, Frankfort, and other industrial cen ters of their retreating German part ner. They know, as do Americans who have lived in Japan for any length of time, that the six key in dustrial cities of Japan will burn as fast as—if not faster and more furi ously than—their Nazi equivalents in Germany. Most Vulnerable Country. The six key centers are Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Yokohama, and Kobe. I have had a good look at all of them—tiie industrial Ruhr of Japan—and I was often impressed by the thought of how quickly Japan could be snuffed out as a world power by igniting the huge, sprawl ing flre-traps from the air. A good, stilf wind, which invariably blew over these coastal centers from the sea, strengthened this thought and suggested how nature, combined with feverish, careless construction of these cities served to make Japan thQ most vulnerable country in the world. The construction was careless be cause the Japanese had neither the time nor the money nor the desire to change the basic layout of their cities from a feudal to a modern one. Thus there was a mushroom growth of sprawling factories among Ihe flimsy, wooden, boxlike houses packed tightly together in areas through which there are often only dirt alleys or footpaths instead of paved streets. After the devastat ing earthquake and fire of 1923 some streets were enlarged and some modern innovations were introduced. But this was limited to the business sections of Tokyo and Yokohama. The layout and structure of the greater part of the Japanese capital and the key eastern port of the coun try are about as primitive as they were 2,603 years ago. In Nagoya, Kyoto, Kobe and Osaka conditions are similar to those of Tokyo and Yokohama. The down town business areas are full of con crete and steel, but the larger sec tions of the cities ,1 where most of the homes and many of the factories are located, are covered with a for est of wooden boxes, which millions call home. So that even the fire proof structures are trapped in the forests of wood and paper houses which, when touched off by Amer ican bombs, will turn into infernos. The heavy concentration of indus try and other military objectives ic the six leading cities provides some thing of a bomber’s dream. Plenty of Targets. If he comes in from the east and flies westward over the main island of Honshu toward China, as the Doo little raiders did, the first target he will find in his bombsights will be Yokohama. Here the principal tar gets are the harbor, one of the twe largest in the country, shipbuild ing yards, warehouses, metal, ma chine-tool, and chemical plants, tex tile and rubber mills, and an auto mobile factory. The 18-mile strip between Yokohama and Tokyo is oacked solid with industries turnin' out machines and machine tools.

Lynn Says Handy Hints: Berries and fruits will keep in perfect condition for days if stored in refrigerator, spread on a platter with a piece of parchment or waxed paper covering them completely. Strong flavored foods stored in the re frig e ra to r should be wrapped carefully, or would you rather have your chocolate pud ding taste of onion and your beef steak of cantaloupe? Try a dash of ginger with chocolate icings. It’s delicious. When you don’t use all your pimiento from a can, place it in a glass jar, and cover with paraf fin.

To <!ie People of ikiis Community YOU CAN AFFORD IT You can afford to buy Extra War Bo.ids during this Fourth War Loan Drive. Everyone in this community knows incomes are higher than - IMUMi iubp. Vttn s«r ever before— \ • ■ f ; that both work* ers and farmers have more cash than ever before. Everyone knows that more than one a vjm itj a if iIin member of hun* dreds of fsm- Ujes are income earners—and everyone knows that increases in wages and salaries have far outstripped rising prices, and increased taxes. You can afford to buy Extra War Bonds. As a matter of fact, you can’t afford NOT to Buy Extra War Eon.is. If you spend your money Jor ncecTlofs, scarce goods, you are increasi.i" prices . . . if you want to help win the war you can’t afford IxOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the serv:-*:c. you can't afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds and if you want a pill-edged investment for your own future security, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra War Bonds. DonM just do the expected—buy AU the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR. m To the PeopSe Cf? th is Community YO V AKE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as a "little” investment in the Fourth War Losn. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great imp o rtan ce in your mind in making up a 5% billion dollar total for individuals. But multiply y o u rs e lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen becomes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Caot. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp wh’en she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he regained consciousness, asked: "Did I do my best?” That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you decide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is “your best” will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the window of your home. uLettS Keep Backing the Attack.* THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community KILL OR BE KILLED United States Marines paid the stiffest price in human life per square yard for the capture ot Tarawa, vital Pacific outpost. It was kill or be killed. Your boys did not flinch when they ran into the deadliest fire-Eower along the eaches of this important Gil b e rt Islan d stronghold.This assault, bloody and costly, is one of the many which must be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. What are you doing to back up the buys? Remember these are boys from this very community,Scrhaps from your very home. Any ome in your neighborhood which today does not display the treasury’s red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming "We bought Extra War Bonds” is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a direct fighter against Japan and Germany. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding assault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds in the 4th War Loan Jt you would help these boys. THE EDITOR. Red Cross Field Men Tackle Yanks’ Problems Overseas On the beaches of Itafyl in the Jungles of the Pacific—planes, tanks, artillery must move—and fast; no waiting to build roads or airfields. That’s when our soldiers must un roll these “steel mattresses,” as you 'see them in this photo. Your War Bonds pay for them. U .S. T rta n ty B tta rm n t One of th e very im portant functions o f th e Am erican Red Cross is the direct communication it affords between the lighting man and his people back home. Here Red Cross Field Director John L. Barnes (left), of White Plains, N. Y., gives a message to Sgt. William J. McDonald, Jr., of Mamaroneck, N. Y. Picture was made in Sicily outside a straw Italian hutch with the rear headquarters of the 1st Division near Mt. Etna. On Masera Island, np In the Persian Gull, where there is not a single tree standing and the wind blows across the island ceaselessly. Red Cross field men brought fishing tackle, books and writing paper to service men. Most welcome gift from the Red Cross was clippers tor hair cutting—the boys had been without a barber for months. In Persia, a Red Cross Field Direc tor was able to locate a soldier’s moth er whom he hadn’t seen for 25 years. In Africa, Red Cross field men flew Ia Army planes, hitch-hiked in supply trucks, bumped in jeeps over bombed convoy routes, through blinding sand storms and glaring sun to help men with personal problems and emergency communications, and to deliver maga zines and books, cigarettes and choc olate to Isolated posts and bases. In Italy, Red Cross field men ac companied the troops In on the inva sion barges. In India, a sergeant was sentenced to the guard house for disorderly con duct His officer couldn’t nnderstand the boy’s behaviour. He was a nice kid —he’d never gone to pieces before. The officer asked the Red Cross Field Director to see him. The Red Cross man discovered a very worried boy. His wife had not been receiving his allotments, she wasn't well and seeded an operation. Sbe thought the soldier must have cancelled his allot ments and a misunderstanding had arisen between them so that she was no longer writing him. The field man got in tonch with the Red Cross chapter in the boy’s home town Immediately. It took care of her, financed her operation and saw that she had adequate funds to provide for herself until the allotment again came through. When the Red Cross man explained what had happened to the soldier’s Commanding Officer, the latter prompt ly released the boy from the guard house. From then on the boy was all right. His worries were over, and the Army had gained a good fighting man. AU over the world, In every thea tre of war and active battle front go the American Red Cross field men— helping soldiers with major and minor personal problems, bringing them rec reational Items such as magazines, books, comfort articles, athletic equip ment, and re-establishing their contact with home. These men share the con ditions and hazards under which the soldiers fight. They also share their lives. They are on call day and night whenever they are needed. G.I.’a overseas have many problem*. Often home seems very, very far away. With the- Red Cross there at hand wherever he may be, the soldier knows he can always get In touch with home —that he need never feel alone with problems he doesn't know how to solve himself. More than 3,000,000 service men passed through Red Cross field men’s offices last year. On the mud clogged roads of Italy, through the far Jungles ot New Guinea, on lonely desert posts. Red Cross field men take your place beside your boy. In order to continue this service, the Red CrosB urgently needs contributions from the American people to its $204,- 000,000 War Fund drive this month.

Fi b b e r m c g e e is p le n ty s o r e t h e s e d a y s — in th e m u s c l e s , n o t t h e t e m p e r . H e re ’s th e re a s o n . T h e R K O p ic tu re , “ H e a v e n l y D a y s , ” which he and Molly are making, in cludes a dream fantasy in which Fibber, as a typical American citi zen, enters the U. S. senate chamber and swims around IS feet above the floor. It's done with invisible piano wires—which accounts for the sore muscles. ^ Now that K. T. Stevens has achieved screen stature with her dramatic lead in the William Cam eron Menzies production, “Address Unknown,” at Columbia, she can claim the distinction of being the V K. T. STEVENS anly Hollywood star who still lives In the house where she was bom. £ . T. is the daughter of producer- director Sam Wood, and still lives with her parents in the family manse in Hollywood. One night recently 70 soldiers were having fun in a New York night dub. One thought he recognized a big, buxom blonde in the audience. “Miss Tucker,” he said, “the boys would sure get a thrill if you’d sing ■Some of These Days’ for them. We’re on our last furlough, heading overseas.” She sang, she wrote “Sophie Tucker” on menus for them. Didn’t want to disappoint the boys fcy explaining that she's Lulu Bates, practically a double for Miss Tuck er, a well-known blues singer who’s starring now on NBC’s “All Time Hit Parade.” Barry Wood, singer and master of ceremonies on “The Million Dollar Band,” doesn’t have too much time for his farm these days. He’s been entertaining wounded servicemen at Uie Halloran and St. Albans hospi tals, near New York. Incidentally, that’s a line idea Barry has—that of giving war sav ings stamps as tips. It is one that is being widely copied in radio circles. Something new has been added to Webster’s dictionary; the new edi- tion will include the word "pup- petoon,” according to word recently received by Paramount.

Scan the columns of your news papers and the prices at your butch ers and you’ll notice many economi cal cuts of meat that are just packed full of flavor if you cook them prop erly. It’s not at all strange to find favorite foods in your family that are very inexpen sive to p re p are .

Make sure that all of your platters look attractive before you set them on the table. We still eat with our eyes first—and what’s good to look at will disappear fast! Save Vsed Fats!

SAUL BECOMES A NEW MAN LESSON TEXT: Acts 9:1-9, 13-19a. GOLDEN TEXT: If any man be In Christ, he is a new creature.—II Corinthians 5:17. The lives of great men inspire us with an eagerness to make our own lives count for God and for country. Particularly is that true of the life of the apostle Paul, for he combined personal greatness with an absolute surrender and devotion to Christ, which made his life doubly effective. We recall, however, that this peer less leader for Christ was at first the bitter enemy of everything Christian and we ask,. “What changed this man?” The answer is— the redeeming gTace of God—but that is the story of our lesson. He became a changed man as he went— I. From Threatening to Trembling (w . 1-7). The enemies of God and of our Christ are often loudmouthed and terror-spreading individuals, who, for a time, strike fear into the hearts of men. Such was Saul of Tarsus, and such are the antichristian lead ers of our day. They seem to be so powerful and able to sweep all before them. But wait! Luther said of God’s archenemy, “One little word shall fell him,” and it is true. See what happened to Saul. Off on his jour neys of persecution and destruction, bold and determined, he met Jesus on the Damascus road, and the great threatener is found to be “trembling and astonished” (v. 6). The Lord is still on His throne, ‘fcnd one day every mouth shall be stopped (Rom. 3:19), and all His enemies shall tremble before Him. Would that they would do it while there is time to repent. H. From Persecuting to Praying (w . 2, 8, 9; see also v. 11). Paul utterly devoted to the root ing out of this hated sect of Chris tians was on his way with letters authorizing their imprisonment. It was all very official, zealous and marvelous in men’s sight, until he met Jesus, and it all blew away. Ananias, that faithful layman (may his tribe increase!), was called of God to go and speak to the stricken Saul. When he feared to go, God encouraged him (v. 15), for the powerful persecutor had now be come a penitent pray-er (v. 11). That’s what a face to face meeting with Jesus did for Paul—yes, and will do for any man or woman. III. From Scoffing to Suffering (w . I, 13-16). Saul doubtless gloried in the breathing out of threatenings and slaughter of which we read in verse I. He was riding high in the seat of authority and of official approval. It was satisfying to his fleshly pride to make known his dreadful purposes of destruction and imprisonment for these helpless Christians. Did we say helpless? Oh, no, they had on their side all the power of the Eternal One. He who touches the people of God touches the Lord Himself. Paul thought he was fight ing a little sect of Christians, but found that he was fighting the Lord Himself (v. 5). But now that he had met Jesus and was ready to turn in devotion to His sacred cause, he was to learn what it meant to suffer. Let us note well that suffering for the sake of one’s faith may be entirely within the will of God, yes, and for His glory. IV. From Spiritual Death to Spir itual Life (w . 17-19). Men have tried to explain the ex perience of conversion on the ground of psychology, as a cataclysmic change in the life of an individual who has gone through some great sorrow or trial, but it simply will not go down. There is in real con version a regeneration which means a completely changed life. Saul did have a sudden and mov ing experience on the Damascus road, but it was not just because of a blinding light and a mighty voice. It was a light “from heaven” (v. 4), and the voice of the Lord. Saul was “filled with the Holy Ghost,” and received his sight. He was ready now to be used of the Lord as the greatest missionary evangelist and theologian that the world has ever known. This change was one which reached down into his inmost being and transformed his beliefs. The Jesus he had hated, now became his all consuming passion and love. He no longer looked to his works to save him, for now he knew the per sonal Saviour. What happened within showed it self in his attitude toward those without. It always does. He now came to love the very people he had hated and persecuted, and turned every bit of his strength and ability into the task of working with Uiem in the spreading of the gospel throughout the world. Men and women—yes, boys and girls—today need this same change' from death to life. Too long have we been trying to polish up the ex terior of lives unchanged within.

Craven, prominent and well known farmer of the Oak Grove section, who is not as young as he once was, is perhaps the only man now living in Davie county, who bad the privilege of seeing Jcffer- son Davis, the Confederate Presi. dent, and his wife. It was away back in 1865, while Mr Craven was a small boy living with his par ents near Lexington, in Davidson county. A number of Confederate soldiers were with t*ie President, as be was fleeing to bis home in Mis> sissippi after the surrender. The President and his wile were seated In a carriage or hack, with soldiers riding in front and behind the ve hicle carrying them. The soldiers In front of the President, when pass ing anyone along the road would announce that President Davis was passing. Mr. Craven saw Davis and bis wife, the Utter being heav ily veiled as they passed. He was standing beside the highway, and remembered the occasion as though it happened only a tew years ago School B uys P lan e Miss Vada Jobuson, chairman of the W ar Bond Drive in the Farm ington High School tells as that the school has sold $15 ,0 0 0 worth of bonds in the recent bond drive. This amount was sufficient to buy a Fairchild trainer plane tor armv use. Miss Johnson tells us that only 17 schools in North Caroliua have won this honor. On the panel of the plane will be engraved, “ Farmington High School.” The credit for this successful drive is due not only the school faculty, but all those in the community who gave their time to putting this drive over the top. The school children also deserve much credit for purchasing war stamps and bonds. Among the active workers in the community, in addition to 1. iss Johnson, were: Mesdames Lonnie Horn, O. R. Allen, Grady Smith, W. B. Smith, and the Rev. 7.

Sorff once by one of the country’s fine poets. It is a grand son of the poet who has sold out to the Nazis. Of his rule, and of Redeiss’ super-rule the Swedish newspaper Arbetaren said: “One feels ashamed to belong: to the human race when one hears of such horrors. No beast would be as bloodthirsty as these men who revel in torture.” And the Svenska Dagbladet, some times sympathetic to the Nazi cause, added: "Only a categori cal denial (of these charges) by the German authorities could help here. We have waited in vain for such denial.” Neither Berlin nor Redeiss ever said "Aye” or “No” but a year ago Redeiss moved to fasten his con demned rule more securely on the land by building up a Norwegian copy of the S. S. which had trained him so well. He called it the S. S. Norge. He wanted 500 Norwegians, Aryans only, who would obey or ders. He settled for 200. He finally found that many believers in Ger many’s ideal, although they , were not all truly quislings. Many of them despised Quisling.

Laurel is the callous able traitor who chummed up with the Japanese long before it seemed they had a chance at all in the islands. Their way of life charmed him in con trast to that of his own people, and of the American way of life which he studied at Yale university. At Yale his own way of life charmed nobody. One professor, lately recalling his campus perform ances, said he was a perfect rotter. Another nailed the description with a story. The story is that Laurel came to Yale in 1920 for a post-graduate de gree of doctor of jurisprudence. There was a mix-up and what Lau rel got was a diploma calling him a doctor of civil law, a far higher dis tinction which he didn’t deserve by half. The university noted the slip, and asked Laurel to trade but he said, “By no means!” According to sound reports Laurel sported the phoney sheepskin for all to see on the wall of his Manila office. Since September Laurel has held another phoney distinction. He has been president elect of the republic Japan schemes to establish in the Philippines as soon as order has been established. It can hardly be classified as a safe office. Nine months ago, when Laurel was only a puppet administrator, he was shot twice on a Manila golf course. The man who pointed the rifle was never found.

B attlefro n t B aby w . Lr An Italian baby boy is pictured here playing in the sand outside his grass home, near Anzio, Italy, Their original home was destroyed m the IiatQeJor the beachhead. . (W N U Feature— Through special MtrangemeBt w ith CoWier'* W eekly.) Though most Americans wouldn’t believe their ewes if they saw it, the plane known as the Fairey Sword fish is one of the mainstays of Brit ain’s Fleet Air Arm. Every time a Swordfish goes roar ing down the flight deck of a carrier and claws its way aloft, the pageant of man’s conquest of the air is lived again for a few tense seconds. For, to the casual spectator, a Swordfish flying off to-battle in this war looks about as efficient and dangerous as a crossbowman on his way to tackle a squad of Commandos. A Swordfish is a large, gangling biplane. It would fit comfortably into any movie sequence of the peri od 1917-1918. The wings and fuse lage are covered with fabric, which is originally painted in shades rang ing from gray to blue, but because every Swordfish invariably has a light rash of patches on its skis, the general result is a sort of mottled shade. The patches are the result of a curious hazard in a Swordfish’s life. After some service, the fabric be comes brittle, and curious visitors find that their fingers inadvertently punch holes in the wing surface. Also, in a dive or tight turn, the fabric covering sometimes flutters in an unpleasant, nervous fashion. Fleet Air Arm pilots, both in af fection and alarm, call these planes Stringbags. The space between the two wings is pretty well filled with struts and wires and such, and back by the tail a lot of wires come out of the fuselage and run to the control sur faces. The fuselage itself is a long, narrow structure. The three open cockpits start immediately behind the following edge of the upper wing, the pilot in the first, the observer in the second, the aerial gunner in the last. So the Swordfish looks and sometimes acts lilce something out of a mail-order catalogue. Aerial Hide and Seek. Yet, regularly, stories come back on how these planes can muddle through. For example, in the Nor way campaign a Stringbag from the Ark Royal found itself on the busi ness end of a Heinkel 111. The Swordfish, however, came back to its carrier with nothing worse than a slight case of dizziness aboard. The pilot merely dived down on a Norwegian mountain and then flew in tight circles around it. The Hein- kel couldn’t cut corners so sharply, so he finally gave up and flew away. As a matter of fact, one school of Swordfish philosophy argues that the incredibly slow speed of the aircraft is an asset. The fast-attacking en emy aircraft simply cannot slow down enough to get in an efficient burst. The Royal Navy calls its Sword fish torpedo-spotter-reconnaissance aircraft. Every carrier in the fleet has flown them off to seek the en emy and, if possible, get a torpedo into him. To be a naval success a plane must have a quick takeoff, a low landing speed, and carry a heavy load. And that is where the lumbering Swordfish excels. There is no sense in trying to make a silk purse out of a Stringbag. It is painfully slow and awkward and ugly. Its performance has guaranteed that as long as the war lasts there will always be a Sword fish. It has a great record behind it. On many and curious missions this strange craft has proved its worth. The crews who fly the Stringbags have developed an odd and somewhat contemptuous affec tion for their planes. Italy’s Bad Luck Swordfish flew into ItaHan fleet at Taranto, 'putting 'ttfree battleships out of action and changing the bal ance of naval power in the Mediter ranean. They bombed 6enoa early in the war, covered countless Malta convoys and put torpedoes into the French fleet at Oran. Again, Sword fish were down in the Channel fog looking for the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau when the German ships made their dash from Brest. That time only a few came back. But it was in the wintry North Atlantic that the Swordfish did its greatest job. Stringbag torpedoes dis abled the Bismarck so that the sur face fleet could close in for the kill. Stringbags have also engaged in extracurricular activities. At the time of Dunkerque, some of them were sent over the French and Bel gian coasts.. So they flew up and down the coast in tight formation, pretending to be fighter coverage for the troops below. Apparently they got away with it, too. In another case a Swordfish was turned into a-fighter when, after the two machine guns were emptied, an observer drew his revolver and as saulted an attacking Italian plane with that. The Italian flew home across the Mediterranean. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT AGENTS WANTED M O T T O E S , P A S T E L . M U L T I C O L O R . S a - c r e d a n d P a t r i o t i c , f a s t s e l l e r s .

Col. Fraok Kurtz, Wlio was pilot of the griz zled old Flying Fortress known as ’’The Swoose,” which escaped from Clark Field, tells of that .fatal day when the daps strock In the Philippines. Old 95, a Flying Fortress, is struck down before It can get off the ground. Later, Ueuten. ant Kurtz bicycles to the scene of the bombing. He Bnds Old 99 a pile of junk. He sees eight boys of her crew—his boys —lying In an irregular line. They had been killed as they ran for shelter. He counts them, pats each on the back, and talks to them as If they were still alive. Then he goes to where Tex is lying, at the end of the sprawling line, and makes a promise. CHAPTER H "We weren’t licked; it was only the beginning, and from now on we would get to work, all of us, and win. I told him that whatever plane they gave me later, Old 99 would be fly ing right in the formation, and on night missions I would always see Old 99’s wing lights beside me, and know that she was protecting me with her crossfire, knocking down Zeros that tried to climb onto my tail. Yes, maybe that’s where the story begins. “The 19th Bombardment Group consisted of thirty-five beautiful shiny new Plying Fortresses, of which Old 99 was one—we had picked her up at the Boeing factory just before she came off the line. Of the Fortress series, they were D models—then the latest and finest in the business. About a dozen of our thirty-five were down at Del Monte Fidd on the southern island of Mindanao. The rest were at the main bomber base, Clark Field, about forty-five miles from Manila, which was the headquarters of Gen eral MacArthur, the Commander in Chief. Our immediate Air Corps commander, General Brereton, was constantly visiting us at Clark. "On November 27 General Brere ton put us on toe alert. He had re ceived the same State Department warning they got at Pearl Harbor— that war might be days or maybe hours away. Within the limit of what we had, the Air Force was ready for it. The General was mak ing all the reconnaissance he could, and had picked his targets in For mosa, from where we knew the blow would come. Our machine guns were in place and loaded. “As fast as our facilities would permit, our shiny aluminum Queens were getting their coat of dull war paint, and I was notified that Old 99 was scheduled to get her camouflage on December eighth. “That’s a date we who were in the Philippines will never forget. With you it’s December seventh, but don’t be confused, for it’s really the same day, only because the Philip pines are on the other side of the international date line, we give it a different number. “The Japanese struck at Pearl Harbor at exactly 7:35 o’clock in the morning Honolulu time. At that same instant it was 4:35 o’clock in the morning of December eighth in toe Philippines—a few hours before dawn reached us. I was asleep in the nipa shack which was the offi cers’ quarters on Clark Field. “I got up at seven as usual and, stumbling in sleepily to shave, snapped on my portable as I always did to get the' early morning news broadcast by Don Bell in Manila. By toe way, one of the first things the Japs did when they entered the town two weeks later was to shoot the poor devil. In even more rapid- fire style than usual he told us the big news—that toe Japs had hit Ha waii. “We gulped breakfast, and then all the pilots rushed over to opera tions meeting in the squadron's op erations tent, where Major Don Gibbs went over the situation with us. I can see him now, trim, alert, boyish-looking for his rank and years—if he’d lived out the war he would surely be a brigadier general by now. He was as shrewd as he was modest. It was his second tour of duty out East, and he knew the lay of the land. “ ‘Well, gentlemen, this is it,’ he said. Then he stepped over to the open flap and faced us. ‘If they’ve hit Hawaii they can’t miss hitting us. I can’t tell you when it will come, but it will come. However, I can tell you where it will come from.’ Here he raised toe canvas flap with one hand and pointed up and to toe north. ‘It will Jbe from right over that hill,’ he said. “We looked at toe hill, tree-clad, velvety, beautiful in the sunrise. Be yond it was Iba Field'. Still farther was toe China Sea and then came Formosa, toe black forbidden hunk of something I had looked down on toe week before. “As we left, Gibbs said: ‘You’re on the stand-by. Orders will be coming through fast all morning.’ Then I went back to Old 99. She was one of toe few which hadn’t been loaded with bombs, as toe had been scheduled for camouflag ing that morning. Only the orders that now came seemed conflicting as those final hours slipped away. “First came one countermanding toe camouflaging. Seemed some thing was afoot, and they couldn’t wait for it. ' Instead we were to load bombs, so we taxied over to ward toe ammunition dump. Then Bill Cocke, who was to be running Q U E E N S D I E P R O U D L Y W-NiU-TEATURCj back and forth all morning with con flicting orders, came screaming down the field. 'Take her back to the hangar; they want the camou flaging finished by all means!’ “Presently came another order for me and two other planes of this 30th Squadron to unload our bombs and insert cameras. Nothing more than that, but it was clear they were preparing us now for reconnais sance over Formosa. “I didn’t then know that our little field only reflected what was going on at Manila Headquarters, where our Air Force General Brereton had been up long before dawn and was at a big conference all morning. Of course it’s very easy to be wise after the event. “And of course, even though Pearl Harbor had been attacked, our American Congress had not yet de clared war, and perhaps it was too great a responsibility for our Philip pine command to strike back when someone might argue that war did not exist technically. “General Brereton knew our posi tion at Clark Field was so danger ous that if we did not at once strike at Formosa, we could probably nev er strike at all. He wanted per mission to make a reconnaissance flight over there, so we could at least see if the Japanese were mak ing preparations to strike us. Sure ly, now that they had hit Pearl Har bor, it would be only a minor neu trality violation to fly close enough to Formosa to take a few pictures. “Consequently the turndown on this wasn’t complete; Headquarters S Don Bell was broadcasting from one of Manila’s tallest buildings. said, well, maybe this would be pos sible. Wait and see. “Back on the stand-by with Old 99, I couldn’t then know this was why I had been ordered to jerk her bombs, reload her with cameras, and rush the camouflage in the hope that permission would soon come. I oidy knew big things were moving, suddenly I thought of my little portable radio. Why not find out what I could? So I sent Tex back to the barracks to get it. “When ’ he returned, I had fair reception when I took it outside the steel hangar door. “It crackled with rumors—some already true, some not yet true. They reported a big concentration of Jap ships off Luzon—Manila was expecting an air raid every minute —bombs were reported already dropping on Clark Field. I under stand that early false report reached the States. “It was curious,” said Kurtz, “standing right outside that hangar door, looking at Clark Field in the mid-morning sunshine and hearing the radio in my hand saying that bombs were dropping on it. It was crazy, and yet it made us appre hensive. “A classmate of mine at Randolph Field who had been flying one of two old Douglases we used for trans portation to Manila had just pulled up and got out, and he was listen ing beside me. Now he said, nerv ously, ‘Why in hell don’t we get out of here and save these airplanes?’ I could see he was thinking not only of toe planes, but of our necks as well. “I said to him, ‘What the hell, now, old man, take it easy—we’re under orders.’ But I was getting jumpy myself. “Then quick came another order —early chow for us pilots and our navigators at eleven o’clock. So I told Tex that Eddie Oliver (my nav igator) and I were going to shoot on up to toe mess hall, eat fast, and get over to the operations tent quick and find out what plans they had lined up for us. Meanwhile Tex was to oversee the unloading of the bombs and the replacing of them with cameras in the bomb bays. “I’d never seen a Japanese plane except those slides of them they throw on toe screen in plane-recog nition courses at school. "I left the mess hall and ran into Tex, looking for me. He had every thing under control with Old 99, the crew was standing by, and were there any more orders? “I told him not yet, I was going over to the operations tent and would be back with them in a very few minutes. Good old Tex, stand ing there, apparently casual and yel really alert as a fox terrier, getting every word I said. A fine-looking kid, twenty-two years old, he was for me those extra eyes, ears, and hands that every co-pilot should be. “I was worrying about what would happen if while I was in that opera tions tent, scout planes might report a Jap bomber formation headed down toward us from Formosa. I trusted our fighter pilots at Iba, but —you never could tell—a few bomb ers might slip through to Clark. “So I said to Tex: ‘Now look, boy —here’s the dope. Make no mistake, I don’t want any slip-ups. Up tt now it’s been all play-acting and Boy Scout stuff, but this war hai really begun. If we get word ir Operations that we’re about to be hit here on Clark, we can get Old 9S off the field from where she is, with out the usual runway procedure. Sc watch for me to come pedaling to ward you on my bike from opera tions tent. If I drop my arm as yos see me come over the top of the run way crest, that means I want tot motors started by the time I ge’ there.” “ ‘Okay, Frank,’ he said quietly No saluting or heel - snapping — there’s not room for much of that ii the Air Force. Then he assured me that the men had all been sen- to chow, the engines warmed and checked. Now he turned, and wen' on back to Old 99. “The operations tent was crowdec with about forty pilots and naviga tors waiting for briefing to begin As we waited, I snapped on my ra dio and we all listened to Manila This time Don Bell was really pack ing it across in his excited deliv ery. Yet we didn’t know that thi precious minutes had all slipped away and only seconds were left We didn’t know that Genera] Brere ton had got permission from Gen eral MacArthur for us to take of on our photographic expedition ovei Formosa, to see if just possibly th< Japanese might be making prepara tions to attack us. We didn’t real ize that General Brereton had al ready rushed to the telephone, and was even at this instant clicking the receiver, trying to get through to us with this order. “Now Don Bell was saying thal bombs really were dropping or Clark Field—he was broadcasting from the top of one of Manila’s tall est buildings, and from there he could see big plumes of smoke ris ing from Clark Field. “We all smiled at this. We didn’t know that he, from Manila, could see around the little hill over in the direction of Iba Field, and that these plumes of smoke were from burning P-40’s there. The Japanese were already tearing our American fight er force to pieces. But we smiled, and were listening for whatever crazy thing Don Bell would, say next—General Brereton still trying to get through to us on the phone— when a private, standing just out side toe flap of our operations tent, said, in an awe-struck, admiring voice: “ ‘Oh, gee! Look at, the pretty Na vy formation.’ “It froze me. I could hear a drone. I think it froze all of us. The next second, Lieutenant Lee Coats, who was standing nearest the tent flap, stepped to the opening. We watched him look up. " ‘Navy, hell! Here they come!’ “We turned over tables in the con fusion of piling out of that tent, but we’re not yet frightened rats, we’re still human beings, still organized. “There they came, the drone ris ing, right over the hill as Don Gibbs had predicted they would—in an enormous V of V’s, three V’s in all and about twenty-five Mitsubishi bombers in each V, at about 18,000 to 22,000 feet altitude—coming right at us. “I heard a scuffling and looked around to see that I was alone ex cept for Lieutenant Glenn Rice—he’d been detailed as photographic offi cer and was grinding away with his camera at that V of V’s. The rest had all taken shelter in a big drainage ditch near by. “I stood there because I thought it would be five or ten seconds more before they came to their bomb- release line, and I ought to see the glint of their bombs turning over as they came out of their bomb bays—they seem almost to pause under the plane before they start down—several seconds surely before I saw that glint, and then would be time to jump for the ditch. Mean while I wanted to see what kind ol pattern this formation planned to lay down over this field, just as, many times before—back in the dry bed of Muroc Lake in California, our practice bombing range in the Mo jave Desert—I’d watched a forma tion of our own to see how good they were.

Everyone knows that more than one member of hundreds of fam- iiies are Income cr.mers—and everyone knows that increases in wages and salaries have far outstripped rising prices, and increased taxes. You can afford Io buy Extra War Bonds. As a matter of fact, you can’t afford NOT to Euy Extra War Bonds. If you spend your money for needless, scarce goods, you are increasing prices . . . if you want to helo win the war you can't afford SOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the Servi^e. you can't aiford NOT to huy Extra Bonds and if you want a gift-edged investment for your own future security, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra War Bonds. Don't just do the expected—buy All the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR. To the PeopSe orf this Community y O V ARE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as a “little” investment in the Fourth War Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra War Bond may not have great imp o rtan ce in your mind in making up a 5% billion dollar total for individuals. But multiply y o u rs e lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen becomes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he re- Fained consciousness, asked: “Did do my best?" That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you decide the extent of your persona] participation in the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will .be large single purchases of War Bonds in this community, but yours—if it is “your best” will deserve equally the red, white and blue shield you are privileged to display in the window of your home. “Let’s Keep Backing the Attack.” THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community KILL OR BE KILLED United States Marines paid the stiffcst price in human life per square yard for the capture of Tarawa, vital Pacific outpost It was kill or be killed. Your boys did not flinch when they ran into the deadliest lire* power along the beaches of this important Gilb e rt Islan d stronghold.This assault, bloody and cost* Iy, is one of the many which must be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. What are you doing to back up the boys? Remember these are boys from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treat* ury’s red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming "We bought Extra War Bonds” is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a direct fighter against Japan and Germany. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra War Bonds to make each succeeding assault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Bx* tra Bonds in the 4th War Loan Jf you would help these boys. THE EDITOR.

TrHtury DtftrtmMt PAN AMERICAN TANKER SKIPPER DECORATED BY ADMIRAL LAND 350 M em bers of the Propeller CInb of New York W itness Award of the M erchant M arine D istinguished Service Medal Comm. John Lund, master of tanker, S. S. Pan Maryland, receiving from Rear Admiral Emory S. Land the Merchant Marine Distinguished Service Medal for heroic rescue at sea. New York—Commander John Lund, master of the Pan American tanker, S. S. Pan Maryland, was honored at a luncheon held in the Waldorf- Astoria, and presented with the Mer chant Marine Distinguished ,Service MedaL The presentation, on behalf of President Roosevelt, was made by Rear Admiral Emory S. Land, Chair man of the U. S. Maritime Commis sion, before 350 members and guests of the Propeller Club of New York. After reading the presidential cita tion dealing with his heroic rescue of 27 Norwegian seamen, Admiral Land paid the high compliment to Lund by calling him “the salt of the earth” “And I know of no higher compliment which can be bestowed on a man,” he added. / Further honors were paid to Cap tain Lund by James Patterson, gen eral marine manager of Pan Ameri can Petroleum & Transport Company, who presented the skipper with the original drawing of a tanker on con voy at sea. Captain Lund was almost as pleased with this drawing, executed by the famous marine artist Hunter Wood, now of the U. S. Coast Guard, as he was with the medal. He said he would treasure them both, and the drawing would soon hang on the wall of his home. Captain Lund, a native of Denmark, started his sea career in 1916 on schooners. During World War I he ■idled as an ordinary seaman on old wooden ships. He left the Old World in 1919 and arrived here, fittingly enough, on July 4tJj, Independence Day. Also fitting is the fact that he joined Pan American Petroleum & Transport Company on October 12, 1936, the birthday of another great navigator, Christopher Columbus. An interesting fact is that the ship, GEORG STAGE, a full-rigged Danish training ship which gave Captain Lund his early seamanship, is now known as the JOSEPH CONRAD, in service in this war training cadets for the U. S. War Shipping Administra tion. In addition to a dais full of high- ranking naval and maritime shipping men — including Vice-Admiral Cran- dell, Rear Admirals Kelly, Steadman, Farewell, Captain Manning, Com mander McCawIey and others, officials of the American Oil Company and its affiliate, Pan American Refining Cor poration, were on hand to honor Cap tain Lund and Rear Admiral Land. These included Dr. R. E. Wilson, Charles H. Wagner, C. F. Hatmaker, E. G. McKeever, J. A. Carroll, Jr., James Patterson, T. A. McQuilling and others. A feature of the luncheon was an extemporaneous speech by Dr. Wilson, president of the oil companies, who surveyed the current oil production and transportation situation. Dr. Wil son pointed out that today the oil in dustry is working at the peak, and that this country is now shipping to the fighting fronts seventeen times as much regular gasoline and seventy- five times as much aviation gasoline a day as it did in the last war. In tracing back the early dark days of the war, Dr. Wilson said the oil industry and the railroads responded to the crisis caused by the sub war fare campaign and the shifting of coastwise tankers to overseas service by working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in getting the oil to the rail ways tank cars, and in unloading this oil as fast as it arrived at eastern ports. Such movements ran as high as 1,000,000 barrels per day at the peak. Today, Dr. Wilson concluded, trans portation problems have been largely overcome by the completion of the two “big inch” pipelines and many other smaller pipeline projects, plus Ae building of many tankers and barges. However, military demands have con tinued to increase, to use up this transportation about as fast as it be comes available. He added that thanks to the unflagging efforts of the men of the oil industry—ranging from the workers in the fields to the marine men, such as Captain Lund and his crew—no fighting front has been with out the oil and gas needed to wage the war.
