Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddeoite. N. C- There are not many, atheists when we compare their number with those who believe there is a God, a Creator, ati intelligent Su­ preme Being. And many of those who claim to be atheists are not, really and truly, for when they face death they call upon God, though it may be too late. How- evet, to claim to be an atheist and never give one's life and soul to God, Is a serious thing. The definition of atheist, accord­ ing to Webster, is: “One who dis­ believes or denies the existence of a God, or supreme intelligent Be. ing.” The synonym of atheist is infidel. Someone has said that an atheist is “ a fool gone to seed.” Also the meading of atheist, in some language, is ignoramus. He may have learning, but be is abso­ lutely ignorant of the right inter­ pretation of the Bible, and ignor­ ant of t*ie power of God and of Christ to save from sin and unbe­ lief. He lets the devil put it into his mind, heart and head that there is no God, therefore lives on this low level as he goes through life. Qod calls the atheist a tool Him­ self, or inspired avid to call him that, when be wrote: “The fool hath said in bis heart, there is no God.” Regardless ot how much book knowledge the atheist has, or how many colleges and universities be has graduated from, God's bles­ sed Word, which is the greatest authority of any book, or of any souice of information, declares him to be a fool No one has any right to deny it. He is fool enough to give his life and soul to the devil, curse bis country, then die and go to hell. No community, no country, no nation appreciates an atheist, an infidel. This Is an absolute fact. They are afraid of him. Even vile sinners know he is wrong, there­ fore won’t accept bis unbelief in God end the Bible. If there are those occasionally who accept bis ungodly, wicked teachings and his views, and claim to follow in his footsteps, they don’t think enough of him to name their children after him. Who ever heard of parents naming their children after athe­ ists and infidels? That shows they do not respect them very highly. How many namesakes do Voltaire, Tom Payne and Bob Ingersoll have? They are among the most outstan­ ding atheists and infidels in the world. I’ve never heard of a child being named after either of them, have you? Then I have never beard of an atheist dying happy, but they die an awful death, or while dying express their regret at having so lived. Reader, pray for the atheist. His soul is precious. To Wives and Parents of Soldiers If you are sending The Re­ cord to your husband or son who is in the armed forces, please see that his subscrip­ tion is paid in advance. We are forced to discontinue all subscriptions to the boys-in foreign lands or in army camps in this couatry when their subscriptions expires. The soldiers want thier home paper. We have had to mark several names off our books this week. Maybe one of them was your husband or son.

This marks the second time with, in the past thirteen years that the Twin City has been named the na­ tional convention city of the Grauge. This is a unique honor, since the National Grange is the leading or ganization draw a large number of delegates in 1932, but solve it in a very satisfactory manner. The hos­ pitality of th« community on that occasion won high praise from the ranking officers and many other Grangers, and the memory of it un­ doubtedly was a very pt werful in­ fluence in the decision which brings the national contention back to Winston Salem this fall. The suc­ cess of that convention here made many friends for ihe city through, out the United States, and un­ doubtedly, despite war conditions and exigencies, Winston-Salem hos DitaHty shall win many more friends for the community during the 78th annual meeting of the National Grange here in 1932 also left its impress upon the community. Since that time we seem to have develop­ ed a keener awareness of the im. portance of co-operaticn between the town and the country, the busi­ nessman, industrial leader, th e worker, on one hand, and the farm­ er on the other. It is this co-opera- tion in which lies the salvation and the strengthening of our free eco­ nomy. In the discussions of mu­ tual problems and methods of ur­ ban agrarian co operation which often develop in conventions of this sort, social horizons are broadened and the spirit of co-operative en­ deavor is quickened. The Grange meeting of 1932 did much for us in this wise. The 1944 convention will indubitably confer similar bene­ fits.—Winston-Salem Journal.

"It is too bad that you are limit­ ed in the use of your automobile I know how it is to walk through miles and miles of swamp and jung­ les.

Farley, former De­ mocratic national chairman and member of President Roosevelt’s Cabinet, have the New Deal in mind when in a St. Patrick’s Day speech before the Catholic Club ot St. Louis he warned his audience that “liberty and good government are not lost in sudien catacysms” ? “Political cave-ins occur only when the ground is soft,” contin­ ued the astute Democratic leader who split with President Roose. velt over the third term issue in 1940. '‘It’s the erosion and rotting of the ground that really do the damage. And the pity of it is that few are sensitive enough in eye and ear to perce’ve what is going on.” He listed as symptoms—careless­ ness with the truth, lack of moral scruple and abject reliauce of the citizens on the state.

Government By Direct tives The government of the United States has ceased to be a constitU' tional government. The theory that the government at Washington is a government “ot the peole. by the people” has been abandoned The Constitution of the United States proclaim? in Article I, Section I: “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a C ngress of the United StateB which shall con­ sist of a Senane and House of Repre. sentatives.” Articles X of the Constitution reads: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Consti tion, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states re spectively, or to the people.” Why continue the sophistry that this is a constitutional government when the branch of it created to execute the laws has usurnednot not only the powers of the branch creat­ ed to make the laws but also “the powers not delegated to the United States” but reserved to the states respectively, or to the people”? There is no citizen of the United States today who does not know (even though be may fail to recog­ nize) that in every phase of his daily existence he is governed more inti­ mately and rightously by the direc­ tives, mandates, and inhibitions of executive orders than by the laws constitutionally enacted by the Con­ gress. Tbe food he eats, the clothing he wears, the money he posses, the work he does, the pay he receive, the manner in which he may travel, the business or occupation in which he may engage, the manner in which he may travel, the business or occu­ pation in which he may engage, the earnings on his savings, the manner in or occupation in which he may en­ gage, the earnings on his savings, the manner in which he may cut his meat, the newspapers he reads, the radio to which he listens, yea, even the size of his coffin in which he may be buried are today governed by executive order, and not by consti­ tutionally enacted laws! And what are executive orders? Louis Ludlow, Democratic Congress­ man from Indiana, answers as fol­ lows: “ Executive orders mainly origi­ nate in the bureaus and are expres­ sions of bureaucratic minds. They often embody the whims of bureau chiefs. Theyhave the effect of laws.” They are, in short, the orders of a governing class that has usurped the powers vested by the Constitution in the Congress or reserved to the peo* pie by the Constitution. They are the whims and the caprices of those little fuehrers who have eased them­ selves into fat Federal jobs where they are now exercising unconstitu­ tional authority and robbing the people of the liberties for which their forefathers fought the Revolution. —Robert A.

God Is The Same My Dear Reader, amidst war and bloodshed let’s not forget God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Tne God of Job. Daniel and David. Yes, the God of Paul and Silas is still on the “Throne.” The ones we think are best friends on earth may disapoint us, even foraake us. But Jesus never fails, he has said “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.” (Heb. 13:5) and “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heaven laden and t will given you rest. For my yoke iB easy and my burden isllight.” (St. Matt. ‘28:20,1 Many mothers and wive’s hearts are heavy to-night because that son or that husband has gone forth to service but listen, do we Christians forget” that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called ac­ cording to his purpose. (Rom. 8:28.) “ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the Glory which shall be revealed in us. (Rom. 8:18) There’s so much suffering to-day on every side. But the Aposcal Paul said its not worthy to be compered to the Glory we shall have when this life is finished. Why? Becsruse just to see the face of the “wonderful man of Galilee, the Lord, Jesus Christ, will be worth more to me then the sufferings of this iife. Dear Reader, do you have hope for a bet­ ter world? If not to-day you can get off the broad road and get in the narrow way that leads to God. There’s only One way to Heaven and that through the Blood of the Lord, Jesus Christ. I’m sriad I can say with Paul of oid. “For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified.” (I Cor. 2:2) “Yea, though I walk though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me, Tbou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemieB, thou an­ ointed by head with oil; my cup run­ neth over.

C. !POM'S Jack Dempsey considerably Keleased by Western Newspaper Union. U OW many fight followers re- member the only time in the history of the heavyweight division that a man won the title while his opponent was sitting down? To end this horrible mystery in • hurry, It was July 4, 1919, when Jack Dempsey met Jess Willard in Toledo, Ohio, for the world cham­ pionship. Challenger Jack— now Lieutenant Commander Dempsey of the Coast Guard — was in toe best shape of his career. And he was exceedingly for­ tunate because that particular Independ­ ence Day happened to be one of the hot­ test days in the meteorological his­ tory of Toledo. Both lighters were liter­ ally bathed in per­ spiration as th e y clim bed into the ring. Dempsey was shorter than Willard and had given him a 65-pound weight advantage. Jack’s excellent physical condi­ tion wasn’t accidental. He bad long set his sights on the heavyweight title and was willing to work hard for it. And Willard was far from his best. In fact, he verged on soft­ ness. The First Round Ollie Pecord was the referee. He called the two men to the center of the ring for their last-minute instruc­ tions. Then came the opening bell and the brawl was under way. Dempsey circled around for a few seconds, then uncorked a vicious right that plowed into Willard’s mid­ section. Willard staggered and Jack followed with a left high on Wil­ lard’s cheek. Dempsey didn’t overlook his cur­ rent opportunity. He moved In like a wildcat. He let loose a long, hard right into Jess’ stomach and Jess quivered like an aspen. Then came the most telling blow of the fight. Dempsey let loose with a left to the face that threatened to separate Willard’s head from his shoulders, He went to the canvas, a surprised, sickly grin on his face. Pecord shoved Dempsey to one side and started to count over the prostrate champion. Jess managed to lurch to his feet when the count went up to six, but he was already a beaten man. Again Dempsey moved in for the kill. A left to the head, followed by a right to the body, put Jess on the canvas for the second time. Jack waited for him to get up, which he did at the count of eight. Dempsey belted him all over the ring, the champ going down again for the count of seven. AU in all, Willard went down seven times in the first round. The last knock­ down came just before the bell ended the round. Referee Pecord was counting when the bell rang — nnd that’s what caused the mixup. The crowd was yelling so hard that the referee didn’t hear the bell and kept on counting. He finished the ten count, crossed the ring and held up Dempsey’s right hand in the customary salute of battle. Jack Kearns, Dempsey’s man­ ager, hurried Jack out of the ring into his dressing room while Wil­ lard’s handlers were helping him to his corner. Just before Jack got to his dressing room the officials were sending a messenger after him to come back to finish the fight. Hope for W illard The one-minute rest had worked miracles for Willard. But the jour­ ney towards the dressing room hadn’t helped Jack’s wind. Jack coasted for the first minute of round two. The tables were turned a bit when Willard blasted through with a hard right to the chin Siat caught the challenger un­prepared. Dempsey grabbed and held and didn’t get up a full head of steam for the remainder of the round. But that first round had been hard on Willard. By the third round Dempsey was more rested and had recovered. He didn’t manage to get in a sledge­ hammer wallop, but he was giving Willard a terrific beating. Willard was groggy at the end'of the third round. He looked like a beaten man. Just about 20 seconds before the start of the fourth, Jess held a fast consultation with Ius manager and trainer. At the end of their rapid-fire chat, Willard’s man­ ager reached over and grabbed a white towel. Even as the bell rang for the fourth, the towel sailed over to the referee’s feet and the fight was over.

Food restrictions curb the serving of elabo­ rate meals, but homemakers still want their friends over for a pleas­ ant chat over limcheon or to “try out some­ thing new” in the way of a recipe. Simplicity is the keynote of good entertaining. It doesn’t do to try out complicated recipes or menu patterns just to make an impres­ sion. If something goes wrong then everything is thrown oft schedule and as a result the guests may be made uncomfortable, thus defeating the whole purpose of getting togeth­ er. With time at a premium, simple combinations are the order of the day. This will keep fluster at a minimum and the food budget with­ in its bounds.

Lesson for May 7 Iiesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission* PAUL CROSSES INTO EUROPE LESSON TEXT: Acts 16:13-19; Fhfllpplans 5:7-14.GOLDEN TEXT: I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling Ol God in Christ Jesus.—PM lippiani 3:14, Pressing “toward the mark” (Phil. 3:14) well describes the zeal and intense devotion with which Paul lived his life for Christ. He was wholehearted in giving himself to the preaching of the gospel. Our lesson tells of his carrying of the gospel into Europe by the guidance and blessing of the Holy Spirit. It seems appropriate to consider the two Scripture portions in re­ verse order, looking first at Paul’s declaration in Philippians of his pas­ sion to know Christ, and then in Acts of his purpose to make Him known. The man with vision is eager to serve. “A task without a vision makes a man a drudge; a vision without a task makes him a vis­ ionary; a task and a vision makes him a missionary.” I. Paul’s Passion to Boiow Christ (Phil. 3:7-14). There were many things in Paul's life of which he was proud, until he met Christ, and then everything else lost its importance and interest. All things in life are lelative in value and our attachment to them is determined by our heart attitude. Now being spiritually minded and having found in Christ real satis­ faction for his soul, the Christian counts as refuse the things in which the world takes such pride and sat­ isfaction. To “know Him” calls for a depth of experience, sacrifice and of joy which is not easy to describe in words. It begins with a divine righteousness imparted by faith. Self-righteousness will not suffice. This is not a matter of law, but of grace.It is a resurrection faith and there­ fore powerful. It is a faith which accepts suffering for Christ as a part of fellowship with Him—not only bearable but glorious because it is in the power of His resur­ rection.That fellowship is one day to be complete and eternal, for there is to be for Paul the assured experi­ ence of a personal resurrection out from among the dead (v. 11). The faith of a Christian looks beyond the grave. AU this has to do with the present, as well as the blessed future. The man who has this kind of spiritual experience shares the purpose of Paul expressed in verses 12-14. Here there is no resting back in self- satisfied comfort, no pride in one’s past victories, no sense of having arrived." Paul saw not only the necessity but the blessedness of going from victory to victory. Too many Chris­ tians of today are entirely satisfied with what they have attained (and it is usually all too little). There is a prize to be gained, the prize of our “high calling in Christ Jesus.” Let us, like Paul, be filled with holy dissatisfaction with ourselves until we reach that bless­ ed goal. The man who had such a vision was ready for God’s call to carry the gospel into Europe. II. Paul’s Purpose to Make Christ Known (Acts 16:13-13). The story of the conversion of Lydia has many elements of spe­ cial interest. It presents the turn­ ing point in the progress of the gospel, which by the grace and lead­ ing of God brought it northward to Europe rather than southward into Africa. Many of us have heard because of the way Paul was led, and one wonders if Europe and ’ America might not otherwise have been the “dark continents” rather than Africa. We are what we are by the grace of God. Then we note that the first con­ vert was a woman. She was not the last woman to give an attentive ear and a believing heart to the gospel message. The church through all its history has been blessed by the readiness of women to bear and heed the gospel.We like to note that she set a pat­ tern of hospitality and service which her sisters in the church have main­ tained (see v. 15). She “con­ strained” the visiting preachers to enjoy the comforts of her fine home, and thus put forward the work of Christ (see HI John 5-8). It is encouraging to note how per­ fectly the leading of the Holy Spirit worked out in the experience of Paul and his brethren. The Lord seiit His prepared messenger to the place where there was a prepared heart waiting to receive the Word with gladness.We may confidently go en the er­ rands of our God, knowing that when Eie leads, He goes before and pre­ pares the way. That does not mean that there will be no trials and dif­ ficulties. Paul had plenty of them (see Et Cor. 11:23-33). But it does mean that we may go with the as­ surance of blessed results, in His name, and with the grace to bear whatever comes along the way—for His glory. _____„ — TLtAKE this freckle-faced tyke for your mascot . * . 2et her mischievous eyes and tousled yam hair chase your gremlins, too.

FRANK STROUD • • Editor TELEPHONE Entered at the Postofflce in Mocka- vllle, N. C.. as Second-class Htil matter, Uarch 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: NE YEAR. IN ADVANCE S IX MONTHS IN ADVANCE • $ A New York labor union has In­ dorsed Roosevelt for a fourth term. And now Eleanor is out begging all the women to join the union. What a politician. A gentleman came into our office last week and asked us who bad given us his name as having filed for a county office. We told him. He said be hadn’t filed and was not running for any office. He al­ so made some other remarks which we are not going to print lest it might make some folks feel bad. When it comes to getting divor­ ces the Franklin Roosevelt family deserves not only the pup but the pup’s papa and mamma. If we ate not mistaken, the number of divor ces now totals five The Bible has something to say about divorces and who should have them. A good lady living on R. 4, asks us to request the commissioners of Mocksville to pass some kind of a stock law. She reports having to to stop her car a few days ago in the cfty limits and driving a hog off the street before she could get her car to the square. We respectfully refer this matter to the Merchants Association. ]im Farley, John Garner and Jo sigh Bailey are opposed to Frank­ lin running for a fourth term. We are hoping be will run, for there is not another Democrat or New Deal er who would receive as few votes! as Franklin. In this country the offices still belong to the people and not to Hopkins. Ickes, Wal­ lace and a few other New Dealers. Thomas F. Fort, Democratic congressman from California, who is retiring after 12 years at Wash, ington, says the current Congress is "the least enlightened and dum­ best bunch I ever had anything to do with." Speaks mighty poorly for his own efforts and those of his fellow new dealers at enlighten­ ment.—Swiped The two Democratic candidates for Governor were In town one day recently, which caused one enthu­ siastic Democrat to remark that the next Governor of North Carolina was iu town. That fellow would feel bad if Hon Frank Patton, of Morganton, the Republican nomi­ nee, should be elected. Stranger things have happened. Kentucky had a Democratic governor last year but a Republican governor this year. Thomas Dewey is gaining con­ vention votes day by day. Last Tuesday he captured 70 votes from Pennsylvania and 2a votes trom Kentucky. Seems that Tom will go into the national convention with more than enough votes to give him the nomination on the first ballot. In our opinion Dewey will defeat Roosevelt by a bigger majority than Hoover defeated Al Smith The people are sick of the Eleanor New Deal. Allies Well Od Road To Victory Washington.—Admiral Ernest J. King, navy commander in chief, said that allied forces are now "ful Iy entered” on the roads to victory and, fortified with unity, power and experience are determined to travel “ far and fast " Both in Europe and the Pacific, he said in a report to Secretary of the Navy Kuox, long roads still lie ahead, but— Tbe encirclement of Germany is in sight.” The war against Japan is in the American "offensive stage” and progressing increasingly well.” The navy commander in chief said the navy has been built to its present striking strength from an “unfavoraole stragetic-position” at the outbreak of the war and de dared; 'Our failure to build progres­ sively was a mistake which it is hoped will never be repeated ” King enumerated also these other steps toward crushing the axis in all parts of the world: “ The German submarine fleet has been reduced from a menace to a problem. T German structure of satel­ lite states is crumbling.” “ The Balkans are aflame with guerrilla war and other occupied countries await only the signal.” “Numerical inferiorities” of the American forces in the Pacific dur ing early phases of the war “have been reversed.” Our submarines and planes are cutting deeper and deeper into the vital Japanese shipping.

Dear Mr. Stroud:—I wish to in­ form you of my change of address, which is now Fort Eustis, Va. How is everything back in Davie county? I wish I bad a chance to go down, but no passes are granted from here that would be long enough for me to make the trip They have me bard at work, but I still find time to read The Davie Record and learn of the happenings around home. There has never been a place so dear to any man than home, and take it from me, this is a big world, but the sweetest spot of it is that little farm back in Davie county where I grew up with plain country folks who shared the same ideas and knew each other. That, my friend, I hope to go back to when the war is over. Too much of this going from place to place. What I live for is the davj when we can all go home. Just you Only Five Gallons Pfc. Hayes Powell, so d of Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Powell, of R. 4, ar­ rived here Friday for a 20-day fur­ lough. Hayes has been iu the army for the past three years, and has been in overseas service for the past 27 months. He has thiee brothers in service yet, and two brothers have received honorable discharges. So far as we know Mr. and Mrs. Powell have furnished more boys to the armed forces than any other Davie family Hayes tells ns that he applied to the rationing board for some gas 10 use in visiting relatives while here for a few days, but was allow­ ed only five gallous, which he did not accept. Despite the gas short age, the beer and wine trucks keep running day and night. We are making no further comments about this matter lest we lose our temper. Help The Russians The people of North Carolina are urged to help the Russians during the dates of May 1st to 14tb. The Russians have been a mighty factor in helping to win the war which ie being waged throughout the world, and they are badly in need of cloth­ ing and shoes. Any garment that is clean and in good condition, of any size, may be donated to this worth; cause. Dresses, skirts, blouses suits, shirts, trousers, over coats, shoes, are needed in large quantities. C. C. Erwin, county superintend­ ent of schools, is honorary chairman. Ail school teachers and pupils are urged to assist in this work, togeth­ er with pastors, lodges, women’s clubs, etc. AU persons who have clothing or shoes to donate, are asks ed bring them to county superint­ endent’s office) in the court house.

So he spoke to Di­ rector Clifford Odets, in whose “None But the Lonely Heart” Grant is working, and they decided they could use a crippled child in London slum sets — and Arden got the job. ---- P a u le tte G od d ard b e c a m e k n ow n fo r a c h ie v in g w h a t o th e r s d id n ’t w h e n sh e b e c a m e th e fir st o f C h arlie C h ap lin ’s w iv e s to w in r e a l s u c c e s s on th e s c r e e n .

Frank Kurtz, Flying Fortress pilot, tells of that fatal day when the Japs struck In the Philippines. The ground Is cov­ ered with the skeletons of U. S. planes. No longer safe to sleep In barracks, be- cause Japs are photographing Clark Field, cots are m oved Into a cornfield, which is later bombed by Japs. They evacuate to the island of Mindanao. Har­ ry Schrelber, the navigator, now takes up the story, telling how two Fortresses out on a m ission to get a row of Jap transports are attacked by a swarm of Zeros. They crash land In a rice paddy on Masbate Island, buy an outrigger ca­ noe, sail to isle of Paoay and later get to Australia. CHAPTER vn "Well, it was nice, for a few days, to be out of danger—to start get­ ting our dozen planes overhauled. “As quick as we could, we began flying missions. Each Fortress had brought out about fifteen men from Del Monte, and they got to work putting the planes back into shape. But the missions were terribly long. It was seventeen hundred miles from Darwin back to Del Monte—almost as far as from New York to Denver. We'd leave Darwin in the morning, fly all day, land at Del Monte after dark to be safe from the Japs, serv­ ice the plane, eat, catch a little nap, and then gas up in time to be off for an early morning bombing of the Jap invasion fleet off Luzon. Then back to Del Monte—it was daylight now and risky as hell, so get in quick, gas up, load bombs, and get the hell out fast and away to an afternoon target, coming back toward Del Monte in the darkness, thank God, when no Jap pursuits are hanging around, arriving about midnight, a cat nap again, gas up, and you're off for Australia. "Think of the pilots and crews going through that grind day after day. You might fly eighteen hours straight and be out of the cockpit for only one of them. “And yet the thing we dreaded most was Christmas. It was right ahead of us now—Christmas in de­ feat and on this barren, hot, dusty desert field, with no word or mail from home and no way to get word back to them. We’d send cables we knew would never be answered, be­ cause we could give no address.” “I'll put my Christmas up against the one you had,” said Frank, going on with his story. “We were all feel­ ing low. We knew there would be no letters or packages or even ca­ bles for us, so it was natural that on this hot, dry, dusty, sun-scorched Christmas Day some of us should wander over to the Australians’ ra­ dio shack, just to see what little word from home we could pick up on the air. “I should say that part of us w ere gone on a mission into the Philippines; two Forts, including George Schaetzel, and they now should be on that dreary, nine-hour drag back to Batchelor Field. We hoped none of them would be shot down on Christmas Day. “The Australians were damned nice to us. They let us watch them open their packages and handed us their Christmas cards to read, and then they’d say, ‘What part of the States are you from, Yank?’ so we could tell them about our own fami­ lies and wives or best girls if we wanted to—and most of us did. But we kept wondering about that mis­ sion, although we didn’t talk about it. And of course we didn’t know they had run into serious trouble, hit by Zeros at high altitude, and that Schaetzel’s plane during this Christmas Day fight had been given a burst of machine-gun fire right through his radio compartment. Ser­geant Killian, his radio operator, was shot through the top of the head as he was helping the gunners re­ load-picking up new ammunition cans full of .50-caliber belts and handing them up, and taking back the empty cans, while the gunners pounded away at the Zeros. “Two others had been badly wounded by the same burst, and since this was at high altitude, it was very serious. Because maybe the boy topples over so that_ his oxygen mask falls off. There isn’t much you can do for a wounded man during combat at high altitude. When you have wounded men aboard, you try to get down to at least 10,000 feet as soon as you can, so they won’t be under the strain of breathing through oxygen masks. “But there were Zeros still be­ low them. One of the Fort’s prime defense weapons is altitude, and George knew if he broke away from formation and dived down alone, he stood a very good chance of being picked off. “So he did the right thing—stayed with the formation, only it was a hell of a hard decision to make on Christmas Day, with those poor wounded men in back, fighting for breath in the high air. “We knew nothing of this yet, but already we were feeling pretty low, and the Australian radio operator was twiddling his dials trying to get us a program from the States so we wouldn’t be homesick. We hoped maybe we’d get just a homely de­ scription of what kind of a Christ­ mas Day it was in a typical Ameri­ can town that might be any of ours, and how the snow crunched under the feet of the people walking up on porches to deliver Christmas pack­ ages, and maybe hear the real American voices of some real Amer­ ican girls in a Christmas choir sing­ ing ‘Holy Night’ or ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem* or some of the other old-time songs. “What we got instead was a lot of politicians doing their stuff on war aims. They were from all over the world, sounding off all over the dial, and we argued with those Aus­ tralian kids as to which ones were the corniest, theirs or ours. They insisted theirs were, but we couldn’t agree, because ours were all stuffed full of roast goose, optimism, plum pudding, hard sauce, 'and produc­ tion figures. “But something was coming in over the CW radio (Continuous Wave, or Dot-DashJ and the Australian with the earphones on, after writing it down, instead of sending it in to his commanding officer gave me a queer embarrassed look and handed it to me. And my heart thumped, because I thought it just might possibly be from Margo, although I didn’t see how it could be. “It was from Schaetzel. He’d waited until he flew out of the dan­ ger zone before breaking radio si­ lence. He said he’d be in after dark with one body aboard and to have the ambulance on the stand-by at the field. That meant there were more wounded. It finished Christ­ mas for us. We didn’t say much, \ And my heart thumped because I thought possibly it might be from Margo. and neither did the Australians. But pretty soon one by one we got up and wandered out of the hut. "When Schaetzel got in, his plane was so badly shot up that we de­ cided to call it a wreck. It was a toss-up between his plane and Lee Coats’, which was also full of bullet holes, but looking them both over, we decided Schaetzel’s was some­ what the worse. We just had to have a wreck on the field to serve as a spare-parts reservoir to keep the other planes in the air. The old Swoose, here,” and he jerked his thumb backward, “still has those tail surfaces we took off that plane. We needed everything, but most of all, we needed bomb-bay gas tanks. “Of course we were in terrible shape. The old 19th Bombardment Group had lost two-thirds of its orig­ inal strength in three weeks, and we were now reduced to about a dozen planes—about enough for a de­ cent squadron. But there was one hopeful fact: of the two dozen odd we had lost, only two—Colin’s and Jack Adams’—had been shot down in combat by the Japanese. The rest had been blown up on the ground or, like Wheless’ plane, had been wrecked on the beach to save the crew when it didn’t have the range to get home. “And just about the time we were adding up this score and wonder­ ing what would happen to us next we found out, for without warning Gen­ eral Brereton landed on the field, and we were immediately sum­ moned to a meeting in Operations. “He’s a tough, quick, cocky, fight­ ing little Air Force officer who doesn’t like to sit down when he’s laying out plans or giving orders, and standing there before us, his shoulders reared back, he lined us out. “He told us the United States Army Air Force of the Far East, of which he was commander, was mov­ ing all its bombers to Java, and at once. .Its main base would be on a field hear the city of Malang. From there we would operate out of ad­ vanced bases already prepared by the Dutch on the outlying islands of Borneo and the Celebes. From these our first missions would all be concentrated on breaking up an immense concentration of Jap trans­ ports which was gathering at Davao Bay, on the southern tip of the Phil- i ippiner- “But as he talked we got curious. Just how big was this American Air Force of the Far East which the General commanded, and whose task it was to smash the Japanese in the Philippine Islands so they couldn’t reach out to the Dutch East Indies? The 19th had started out as a Group, commanded by a colonel. Its strength was now practically one squadron, an adequate command for a major in peacetime. Just how many Groups would this two-star General have at his command for this four-star task ahead? “But there was big news for me. Ever since the loss of Old 99 I had been a planeless pilot—a kind of ghost walking with the living, a head without a body. “But now Lee Coats was to go with the General to Brisbane as en­ gineering officer, and I was to take over his plane and crew for the Java war. Now at last was my chance to settle the score for 01d99.” “From Australia to Java is a full day’s work even for a Fortress,” Frank went on, “but Sbr weather was fine, and all of us weft feeling great. The ocean was a deep blue, and we were constantly passing over islands,, green with jungle growth, which are practically steppingstones connecting Asia with Australia. “The last one of all was maybe the most beautiful—the famous is­ land of Bali, just before you get to Java—and as I saw it coming ahead over the horizon, I couldn’t help thinking about those pictures of it you used to see on the round-the- world cruise folders. Always on the cover was a color photograph of a beautiful golden-brown sixteen-year- old girl with a wicker basket on her head and a printed cotton sarong gathered low around her hips and nothing much in between except a completely unself-conscious smile. “I was feeling pretty good, and I guess the crew was too. You see, we’d been on the alert for six weeks and not so much as an hour’s leave for them to go into any town for even a glass of beer. “Java in the late afternoon was as beautiful as anyone had ever prom­ ised it would be—rich green velvet, except where the sloping sun gleamed on the rice paddies, or burned the standing water gold against the soot-black mud. “We flew over the big seaport city of Surabaya and straight on to­ ward the smaller city of Malang sixty-six miles away, which was to be our base. To get there you have to climb a little and then en­ ter through a narrow mountain pass, which usually is filled with clouds in the afternoon, like a thick cotton stopper in a bottle. At least later it served to keep the Zeros out. “They’d told me the field was well camouflaged, but because they’d laid it out for me carefully on the map I had no trouble in finding it. It was a better job of camouflaging than anything we’d ever dreamed of in the Philippines. Looking down on it from altitude, you took it to be just an ordinary tilled field. There was what looked like a cornfield almost across the runway, and in addition a fake railway line cross­ ing it. I even had difficulty in pick­ ing out the hangar roofs, so care­ fully were they painted into the tropical vegetation. “We crossed it, turned, circled, and landed. The Dutch weren’t even using their radio to bring us in for fear of giving away the location of that beautifully hidden field. They brought us in with a flash gun, and luckily I could show my new crew the precision-type landing required on that grass field which was later to prove tough as hell. We came in in the usual soft Javanese after­ noon rainstorm, and of course I didn’t dare apply brakes as you would on macadam. I was to find it was a tricky job getting off and on that slippery turf with a full load of bombs. “The boys were of course in a lather to get into town, but first there had to be the usual pilots’ meet­ ing, and it’s always the same—I don’t care who the officer is, Cap­ tain, Major, or Lieutenant Colonel, he’s got to stand up there and dish out the old college pep talk about how we’re here to do this and that while the boys are snorting to get into town. “Only this one wasn’t so bad. Be­ cause at last we were going to do what we had for years been trained to do with our Fortresses When those reinforcements came stream­ ing in we could go out in big forma­ tions and drop a pattern that meant something. “Later they were to find that Dutch dating wasn’t as simple as it looked, because the first three or tour times you had to take Mama and Papa along. “At the end of dinner, before they left, we’d all stood up and drunk just one New Year’s toast—to the memory of all those guys we’d known so well back in the islands who couldn’t be with us now, and a score the Air Force had to set­ tle in their behalf. Java seemed fal and lush and peaceful, but I knew just ahead of us was terribly hard work, long missions, hitting again and again if we were to hold ths Japs back until those thousanr American planes arrived.” (TO BE CONTINUSO* r+FI RST-AID+1 to the AILING HOUSE By ROGER B. WHITMAN , Roger B. Whitman—'WNV Feature*. INSULATING ROOF Last fall one of my correspond­ ents insulated his roof. His first step was to line the under side of the roof between the rafters with tar paper, and then to put in four inches of rock wool. Before the winter was over, he found that the rock wool was dripping with mois­ ture. He asks how this can be pre­vented. He seemed ta think that the rock wool had the property of absorbing moisture; but this is not the case. The trouble came from the penetration of water vapor in the house air. Passing through the rock wool the water vapor came into contact with the tar paper, which of course, was chilled by the roofing boards. Condensation took place, and as the water that formed could not pass through, it was absorbed by the rock wool. He could prevent this by protecting the rock wool with something through which the water vapor could not pass. For this he could use hard and glossy tar paper, nailed to the exposed edges of the rafters. There would then be no condensation, for this layer of tar paper would be protected against outside temperature by the thick­ ness of the rock wool. As a matter of fact, pads of rock wool and simi­ lar materials can be had enclosed in envelopes of tar paper. Had my correspondent protected his roof with these instead of the loose rock wool that he used, his trouble would have been avoided.» * • Stained Ceiling Question: After the last heavy rains the ceiling around the brick chimney showed brown stains. Where do the stains come from? Answer: The stains may be caused by leakage through the flash­ ings where the chimney passes through the roof. If the flashings prove to be in poor condition, you can close the leaks with a heavy coat of plastic roofing cement. An­ other possible reason for the leaks may be a failure of the mortar be­ tween the chimney bricks. If so, the bricks could be repointed.* * * STARCH FOR WALLS Question: I want to paint my ceil­ ings an off-white. Then I would like to starch each year and wash off. How would I go about it in detail? Answer: The formula is as fol­ lows: Soften the lumps of a cup of latmdry starch with cool water and add boiling water with constant stir- M tH ring until the starch is cooked and stiff. After cooling, add cold water to make a thin liquid, stir in one quart of buttermilk, and strain through cheese-cloth. Apply with a whitewash brush. Brush marks can be taken out by patting with a short bristle brush before the starch dries. • • * Damp House Air Question: We began building out house last September, and had tc move in December I. Some furni­ ture was put in the attic and the rest in the basement until the main floor rooms were ready about Christ­ mas time. Many of the roofing boards are mildewed and also books, furniture, and household things that stand on the north side of the attic. Who is to blame; the contractor or the rbofer? Have the roofing boards been weakened by the mold? Answer; No one is to blame, ex­ cept yourselves for having moved into the house before the concrete and plaster had dried out. WUh your heater going, water from these parts should be drying out very rapidly. But even so, the house air may not be thoroughly dry until some time next winter. I greatly doubt if the mildewing has gone far enough to damage the roofing boards.* * •Paint for Fireplace Question: We have an all-brick fireplace in our living room that I should like to paint. What kind of paint should I use? Answer: You can use a cement base paint, which is intended for masonry. It is a powder to be mixed with water, and it can be had in colors as well as in white. Ask for it at a mason material yard. I am presuming the brick never has been painted. SEWING CIRCLE r ~ 8582 Smart Throughout Day.

"Pd been troubled with common consti­pation for years. Tried many !finds of medicines for It. Then, Just about a year- ago, I tried KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN. S ate it regularly, without missing a day. It> helped so much, I have not taken one dose- o f medicine for constipation since, nor h&vo I confined myself to any diet!” Mr. S. P.* Loebe, Charleston, Missouri. Sounds like magic, doesn’t it?| But, scientists say, KELLOGG’S' ALL-BRAN can really “get at” a; common eause of constipation ——i lack of dietary “cellulosic” ele­ments—because it is one of Na­ture’s most effective sources of these elements! They help the friendly colonic flora fluff up and prepare the colonic contents for easy elimination. KELLOGG’S ALL-BRAN is not a purgative! Doesn’t “sweep you out”l It’s a gentle-acting, “regulating” food! If you have constipation of this kind, eat KELLOGG’S ALL-BRAN, or several ALL-BRAN muffins regularly. Drink plenty of water. See if you don’t find real relief. Insist on genuine ALL-BRAN, made only by Kellogg’s in Battle Creek. > YOU WOMEN WHO SUFFER FROM niHOT HASHES If you suffer from h ot flashes; weak, nervous, cranky feelings, are a bit blue at tim es—due to the functional “m iddle-age” period peculiar to women—try Lydia E.

Everyone in this community knows incomes are higher than e v e r before— that both work­ ers and farm ­ers have more cash than ever before. Every­ one knows that more than one mem ber of hun* fe iyup dreds of fam-XiSciSiLR^eafiSa^ j]jes 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 W ar Bonds. As a m atter of fact, you can’t afford NOT to Buy E xtra War Bonds. If you spend your money for needless, scarce goods, you are increasing prices . . . if you want Io help win the w ar you can’t af­ford NOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the service, you can't afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds and if you want a Kill-edged investment for your own future security, 3'ou can’t afford NOT to buy Extra War Bonds. Don't just do the expected—buy AU the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR. T o t h e P e o p l e cff t h i s C o m m u n ity YOV ARE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as a "little” investment in the Fourth W ar Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra W ar Bond m ay not have great im ­ p o r ta n c e In your mind in making up a 5% billion dollar to­ tal for individu- als. But multiply y o u r s e l f b y 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen be­ comes in m assing 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 de­ cide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth War Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of W ar 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."

Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treas­ury’s red, white and blue 4th War Loan Shield proclaiming "We bought E xtra W ar Bonds” Is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a di­rect fighter against Japan and Ger­ many. If you could but see one roan die on the battlefield, you would not oount the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy Extra W ar Bonds to make each succeeding as­ sault less costly in the lives of our boys.

The purchase of W ar Bonds is one of the b est w ays to conserve such savings.

In our present crisis, m any of th e outlays needed to m aintain the fa rm p lan t m ust be deferred.

As our fa rm m achinery gets old­ er, a s buildings go w ithout paint­ ing, and w ith m inim um attention to o ther rep airs, these needs grow .

L e t ' s F a c e F a c t s Farm Maehtnery Output A t Double 1943 Level; But Remains a Problem B y B A R R O W L Y O N S — — WNU Staff Comiipondenf B arrow Lyons Several senators from farm ing sections are predicting th at the W ar Food adm inistration is going to have a rude surprise w ithin a few w eeks w hen it discovers th at farm ­ e rs are not planting the acreages expected of them this y ear — partly because they cannot get farm m a­ chinery they need to m ake up for the shortage of m anpow er. E qually positive are officials of the W ar Production board th at there w ill b e e n o u e h m achinery w ith w hich to plant, cultivate and h ar­ v e s t a ll c ro p s . W ar Food adm in­ istration points c o n fid e n tly to early reports of acreage planted and says th at if average w eather p r e v a ils , crops w ill be adequate fo r d o m e s t i c needs — but w ith less to spare for feeding foreign populations than UNRRA will request. H ere is the argum ent th a t W PB gives: L ast y ear only about 40 per cent of the m achinery m anufactured in the base years — 1940 and 1941 — w as produced; but this year about 80 p er cent of the base year production is planned. Production is running close to schedule on som e item s and lagging on others. H ar­ vesting and hay gathering m a­ chinery seem s to be furthest behind. H arvesting m achinery is in m uch g reater dem and than the supply. In this field authorized schedules are, on the whole, alm ost 125 per cent of base period production, but it is not now expected th a t schedules w ill be m et. How far output w ill lag de­ pends largely upon labor supply and the dem and of the m ilitary for critical com ponents. Scheduled Increases Com bines w ith w idth of cut over 10 feet are scheduled for the fiscal y ear ending June 30, 1945, a t 118 per cent of base output, those betw een 6 and 10 feet a t HO per cent and sm aller ones a t 75 p er cent. Sched­ ules for binders a re not as g re a t in proportion to base output. B ut the program s for potato diggers and pickers, beet and vegetable h ar­ vesters are m uch higher. Furtherm ore, rep air p arts m ay be m anufactured in w hatever quanti­ ties needed. A ltogether, the farm m achinery industry is program m ed to turn out nearly tw ice the volum e of equipm ent it did last year — but, frankly, the program is not go­ ing to be "completed. H ow ever, an indication th at the situation is not as serious as last y e ar is that the volum e of com­ plaints is fa r less. One W PB official, w ho last y ear a t this tim e w as re­ ceiving from 50 to 55 telephone calls a day from congressm en requesting him to look after constituents, is at present receiving very few urgent requests for farm m achinery. T here is one certainty — farm ers m ust give m ore attention to rep air of equipm ent than ever before. In this country they have hardly begun to take rep airs as seriously as farm ­ ers in E ngland or in enem y nations. Those who have been to E ngland say the B ritish are far ahead of us in that respect, and reports com ing from G erm any indicate th a t a fine job is being done there on the re­ p air problem . D ealers throughout A m erica, how­ ever, have been advised to order re­ p air parts by telegram , and m anu­ factu rers to ship by airm ail. No red tape or form s are required. AU a fa rm e r needs to do is to tell his dealer th at he needs the repair parts. Many Repairs Needed R ecently the results of a Survej of re p a ir needs m ade by the W PB OfBce of Civilian R equirem ents w as published. It showed th a t in 1943 ow ners of 42 per cent of the m ow ­ ing m achines of the country required rep airs for th eir equipm ent, and th at 13 p er cent of those needing rep airs did not get them ; 42 per cent of the ow ners of com bines re­ quired repairs, and 8 per cent of those requiring them w ere not serv­ iced. These w ere am ong the w orst aepair records. But it is the belief in W PB today th a t rep air troubles should be vir­ tually a thing of the past, and th at norm al servicing w ill be obtained. In Indiana, cooperative rep air shops have been established w hich have been a g reat aid in obtaining speedy repairs. In a few other states re p a ir shops have been established as p a rt of the agricultural college extension services, and farm ers com e from all p arts of the counties to avail them selves of these facili­ ties. On the whole, m achinery m anu­ factu rers a re handicapped by labor shortages, lack of m otors, chains, m alleable iron and castings.

FEATUftEf CH A PTER V III . “N ext day w e headed out over the Ja v a Sea tow ard Borneo and, following instructions, found a likely looking river, dropping down to low altitude, and began following it back upcountry, and then, ju st on sched­ ule, we m ade out Sam arinda Field in the late-afternoon sunlight in spite of its cam ouflage. And it w as the b est job we’d ever seen, better than M alang. W e’d h ad practically no tim e for cam ouflage a t all in the Philippines. B ut h ere the D utch had hew ed this field out of the teem ­ ing jungle—uprooted the stum ps, leveled it off, planted it w ith grass, and then covered it w ith wooden saw ­ horses th a t w ould knock the stuffing out of any plane th a t tried to land through them . Only w hen you cir­ cled Sie field, out cam e a crow d of natives on the run—I suppose they w ere w ild m en of Borneo the D utch had tam ed. They w ould rem ove the saw horses only from th a t par­ ticular runw ay you w ere supposed to use, and th e m inute your w heels touched the ground they’d s ta rt re­ covering the runw ay behind you. “ R ight aw ay w e w ent to pilots’ m eeting, w here w e lined out the m ission for D avao B ay. “ The Jap s, we knew , seldom flew a t night, b u t w e w ere flying in a V of V’s. Jim Connally, G eorge Schaetzel, and I m ade up the third flight, w hich, I m ight point out, is the dirty spot, because in those days you could expect m ost Ja p attacks from the re a r. Then we started th at long clim b for altitude—which m eans safety for th e F ortress, a hell of a big and vulnerable ta rg e t n ear the ground. “ B ut w hile w e a re still clim bing, G eorge Schaetzel is lagging. Engine trouble, w e la te r found out. G eorge drops out entirely, w hich leaves Jim Connally and m e alone to handle the dirty spot. "P resen tly the form ation levels off, and then ahead of us w e see an enorm ous black m ass of w eather in w hat is left of the dw indling tw i­ light. It’s laid out horizontally right across our path—starting a t about 12,000 feet, it seem s to go on up forever. “So w hat do w e do? O ur orders are to keep in form ation, so we can all h it D avao a t the sam e tim e, and not go over dispersed a t intervals, w here the Zeros, rising a t the first alarm , can slaughter the stragglers. “ B ut if we go into this cloud bank, m aybe it goes on for m iles and w e’ll lose each other inside of it, and nev­ e r be able to assem ble for the at­ tack. “ The leader decides w e’ll try to go around it, so, turning, w e fly p arallel to it. B ut it seem s end­ less, and a fte r flying for forty-five m inutes, w e see th a t in this a t­ tem pted detour w e’ve w asted pre­ cious gasoline—our m argin of safe­ ty to get to the ta rg e t and get hom e is dow n to alm ost zero. “ W hich m eans we can’t go on. “ W e returned to S am arinda, land­ ed, gassed up, and then w ithout any re st o r sleep started to tak e off again for D avao a t m idnight. This tim e w e w ere sure w e wouldn’t m iss. “ A gain we ru n into thick fog,” w ent on F ran k , “w hen we go up nex t night. M y co-pilot Collvin and I fly alternately—our eyes sm arting and stream ing from the strain and starin g through the w indshield a t those form ation lights of the planes ahead, not daring to lose sight of them for fe a r we w ill then be lost and alone in the night. As daw n breaks I see B roadhurst’s F ortress by th e num ber on its tail. It is too late to go on into D avao, just two of us, so w e tu rn and sta rt m ourn­ fully back to Sam arinda. “ A t one o’clock in the m orning we again took off on the long flight to the ta rg e t—betw een four and five hours. F o r th e first few hours we w ere lucky. The clouds w ere w ell stratified and w e flew betw een tw o lay ers of them , so w e didn’t have to fly both w eather and instrum ents. “ This tim e w e arriv e a t the pre­ viously agreed point w here we are to m ake th a t 120-degree tu rn and com e directly in on D avao, and as w e sw ing up and over for th at sharp bank, I g et m y Only glim pse of the ta rg e t, w hich ordinarily th e pilot never sees in detail. F rom w here he sits he can only see the sky» and the distan t horizon ahead. It’s the bom bardier who can look straight dow n and a little ahead, who pulls the plane in over th a t tiny pinpoint to be attacked. B ut now I’m about to see it for m yself—ju st one look w hen m y w ing is cocked high in the air. “A nd then I g e t m y only glim pse out of th e tilted side window, th e city still asleep, the upper B ay of D avao silver in the first daw n light, and then—oh, lovely, lovely sight!— a big boat sitting w ell offshore sur­ rounded by a protecting circle of destroyers, all of them m otionless, not a w isp of sm oke com ing from a funnel. W e’ve caught them asleep w ith no steam up, the Jap s a re snor­ ing—like . so m any P e a rl H arbor brass-hats—this is w hat we’ve been w aiting fori “B ut now comes a change. Over m y interphones I h ear Stone, bom ­ bard ier of the lead plane, calling to C om bs, who is leading us. “ 4Do you m ind if we change over, sir?’ he asks. ‘I see our real targ et now .’ “W e’ve now roared in alm ost to our bom b-release line, but Combs agrees. W e bank up and change over, now heading apparently for low er D avao H arbor. “P eering out of the window on the bank, I get one glim pse of it and now understand the reason for the change—the m ost trem endous con­ centration of ships I ever saw in m y life. E verything, big boys, cruisers of all sizes, transports, subm arines, destroyers, gunboats, bunched in there dotting the w ater so thick we couldn’t possibly m iss—but now w e’re on our bom b run, and I’m steadying the plane down to go on the PD I. (Pilots direction instrument.) To you it’s ju s t one of m any w avering needles on this big instru­ m ent panel. B ut it’s hooked up with the bom b sight in the com partm ent „ 4 IIp cam e a pretty blonde D ntch nurse in a B ed Cross uniform . below. The bom bardier has his sen­ sitive fingers on those controls, keeping th e ta rg e t ahead fram ed in the crqss hairs. E very tim e he m oves them a fraction of an inch, the change is registered in th a t PD I needle on m y instrum ent panel. I can’t see the target, of course, but if I follow the needle I can’t m iss it. “ Now our nerves a re tightening up. I glance fleetingly ahead and see Cecil Com bs in the lead plane, going over the target. Since w e’re bringing up the re a r, Cecil is about nine m iles aw ay, and his big For­ tre ss looks about the size of a w ren. T hat sky ahead is filled w ith dirty soot-gray ack-ack puffs, m aking a spotty lay er above him . The Jap s on the ground have cut their fuses ju st a little too long to pick off C ecil, but I know th a t in a very few seconds m ore I’m going to get a closer view of this ack-ack. I pray Cecil’s bom bardier won’t m iss, al­ though he’s too fa r ahead for us to see his bom bs leave. ‘D am n it, Stone, now lay ’em down the alley, boy.’ B ut th at kid won’t m iss; he’s one of the best bom bardiers in the business. Now he’s laying his train, P e a rl H arbor style, on those Japs, who a re lying there w ithout steam up —only again I ’m raging. H ere we are, w ith a P e a rl H arbor setup for a targ et, but only ten of us, w hile the Jap s h it H aw aii w ith m any scores. “ M y navigator has laid aside his tools in the com partm ent below, and now com es craw ling up through the trapdoor to squeeze back through the bom b bays, betw een the row s of bom bs and gas tanks, into the radio com partm ent, w here he’ll m an a m achine gun against Ja p fighters. “ T here’s no interphone talking now except betw een gunners. W e’ve broken radio silence—the hell w ith it now. W e see them down there and of course they see us up here. A nything w e can do to bring the for­ m ation in rig h t is okay. So now the earphones crackle w ith the excited cross talk of m achine-gunners, all peering out th eir windows on the lookout for Zeros. “ I take a quick glance out of the side window to m ake sure I’m not ahead of Jim . I’ve got to stay even w ith him so m y gunners can pro­ te c t his ta il and his gunners can protect m ine. And I w onder how in hell th a t first flight has done, but don’t d are look up to see if Combs has turned off tile targ et yet. I m ust stay glued to th a t needle—my co-pilot is glued to it too, giving m e the corrections on m y run. “ It m ust be a s carefully tim ed as a violin duet. M y bom bardier be­ low there needs the gentle touch of a violinist on his controls and I m ust follow w ith equally gentle p ressures on the rudder. If he gets excited, and in correcting an error, m oves his controls too far, then, following th a t w eaving needle, I’ll push a pedal too fa r and w e’ll throw the F o rtress out of h er groove. “ I’m alm ost praying he won’t do this. ‘Com e on, boy,’ I m u tter to him , ‘don’t let it ru n down your leg, now—don’t overcorrect!’ “ Now I take the risk of ju st one glance aw ay from the needle through the w indshield to see the second flight ju st going in on its bom b-release line. The ack-ack fire, w hich for the first flight w as too high, is now breaking below the sec­ ond flight. T hat m eans they’ll see they’ve bracketed us, and next tim e they m ake a change in fuses down below—about the tim e our third flight is going over—they’ll have us square. “Ju st then I h ear a gunner shout­ ing over the interphones: “ ‘F ighters, com ing up a t nine o’clock!’ I can’t see them yet—won­ d er w here they’re com ing from . M aybe off a carrier. Then why didn’t we m ake a run on that? M ay­ be Cecil did, and m issed. M aybe m y bom bardier sees it and w e a re m aking our ru n on it. No, I think, they’re probably off the ground. The Jap s have probably got the country­ side around D avao laced w ith land­ ing strips by this tim e—the enter­ prising little so-and-sos. (Lay your watch down on Ae table in front of you. At twelve o'clock the hour hand points straight ahead. At three o’clock it points to the right. At nine o’clock it points to the left.) “Now m y own gunners are talk­ ing: ‘They’re com ing-up in a long, slow spiral, like hornets out of a nest—com ing up so straight you can even see their bellies. I get the first rum ble of the antiaircraft fire as the ship flutters. A quick glance ahead shows the puffs are right on our level now. “ Then I get m ad again. B ecause it said in our schoolbooks th a t the Ja p an tiaircraft fire couldn’t h it any­ thing above 18,000. H ere w e are, laying it to them from alm ost tw ice th a t altitude, and they’re putting it right back up to us. “ Then I get a feeling of exulta­ tion. B ecause down under us and not fa r ahead now is th a t Ja p P e a rl H arbor setup—big ships w ith stone- cold boilers. Now they m ust be run­ ning frantically around the engine room s trying to stoke the fires and get steam up, know ing w hile they’re hurrying th a t it’s too late—ju st as they knew a t P e a rl H arbor, but all you can do is hurry, so you do it anyw ay. Well, w e've got them w here w e w anted them , even if there ar* only ten of us—got them w here they had Old 99 ju st about a m onth ago. “ Then I jum p, for the ship quiv­ ers from a burst of fire from our own .50-caliber guns. Then quickly another and another. Zeros com ­ ing up, banking to com e in and rake us w ith th eir fire? B ut w hen nothing is said of them over the interphones, I know m y boys are only firing lit­ tle bursts to w arm the oil In their guns, m aking sure the guns won’t ja m w hen w e a re really h it by fight­ ers. “ Suddenly the plane’s nose lurches upw ard and to the left, and hardly have I straightened h er out onto even keel w hen she tries to m ake another tw ist. It’s the b last from the ack-ack fire—invisible billows of air sent out by each explosion, and now it’s as rough a s though w e w ere bouncing in a M odel T over a M is­ souri d irt road three days a fte r a rain. “ A t m y side m y co-pilot, who has been looking out through the wind­ shield, hollers: ‘Jim ’s bom bs are on their w ay.’ I don’t d are take m y eye from the needle. “ Ju st then I get the click from m y own bom bardier. O ur bom b- b ay doors a re open now—I feel the, slight drag on the plane, and w ith m y ru dder correct for it, and then th a t double click on the interphone w hich m eans he’s telling m e: ‘Ship level, F rank, please.’ A nd I don’t answ er except w ith m y feet so firm ­ ly but gently on the rudders, giving him th a t absolutely level bom bing platform he has to have if we’re to h it th e target. “ And a t la st the precious am ber light glows on m y instrum ent panel, w hich m eans he’s now actually flick­ ing the bom bs off, one by one, and I keep m y feet so softly on the rudders th a t they hardly touch, so a s not to give Ihe tiniest sidewis« throw to the bom bs. U p in the cock< p it w e hold our breath. W e know dow n below the bom bardier is flick, ing them off—four 600-pounders at half-second intervals. “ Then as he calls, ‘Bom bs awayl* a t th a t split second w e quit w erkin| for the G overnm ent and begin t« w ork for our w ives and fam ilies B ecause th a t m eans th e last bom t has left the plane and w e can now close the bom b-bay doors, and oui objective is now only to get boms safely.

PA U L IN THESSALONICA LESSON TEXT: Acts 17:1-4: I Thessalonfc ans 2:1-12.GOLDEN TEXT: Rejoice always: pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks. —I Thessalonians 5:16-18. Strong, active, m issionary-m inded churches do not ju st “ happen.” They are the result of the preaching of a true and pow erful m essage by a faithful and ■ sacrificial m essenger. O ther factors enter in, b u t these a re the fundam entals. P au l’s m inistry a t Thessalonica, w hich is described in A cts 17 and explained in I Thessalonians 2, re ­ veals w hat should be preached and w hat kind of a p reacher is needed. P erhaps som e dead or unsuccessful church m ay learn the secret today and com e to new life for C hrist. I. The M essage—C hrist the Sav­ iour (A cts 17:1-4). P aul had already m et the varying lot of both persecution and accept­ ance, and h ad now com * to Thes­ salonica, a large and im portant city in M acedonia, w here he had a lengthy m inistry and established a strong ch u rch .. . W hat w as the m essage w hich so signally succeeded in this g reat strategic center? W ell, it w as not (as som e m odern preachers in large cities would seem to think) a series of social, political, o r literary dis­ courses. P au l preached C hrist. H e reasoned w ith them and presented the Saviour (v. 3) a s O ne w ho w as— 1. D ead for our sin. These people w ere like us in th a t they needed a solution for th eir sin problem . T here w ere doubtless other questions w hich P au l m ight have discussed, but he w isely w ent to the root of th eir dif­ ficulty and showed them “ th at C hrist m ust needs have suffered.” W ithout the death of C hrist there is no salvation for any m an. Only through the shedding of blood can there be rem ission of sin (H eb. 9: 22). P au l h ad no p a rt in the folly of a “ bloodless gospel”—as though there w ere any such gospel. 2. R aised for our justification. It w as not enough th a t Jesu s died, m arvelous as th a t is in our sight. F o r m any a m an has died for his convictions, but none has risen from the dead. C hrist could not be holden of the grave. H e arose the victori­ ous R edeem er. 3. D eclared to be the C hrist. H e is m ore th an a m an, m ore than a g reat leader and an earnest teacher. He is God’s anointed One, H im self divine—and our Lord. Thus P au l presented to the Jew s th eir M essiah, “ the M an of Sorrow s” (Isa. S3), whose resurrection de­ clared H im to be the Son of God w ith pow er (R om . 1:4), th eir R e­ deem er and Lord. B lessed results followed such preaching (v. 4). II. The M essenger—A pproved of G od (I. Thess. 2:1-12). Som etim es a m an w ith a '<true m essage largely nullifies its value by the m anner in w hich he presents it, or by his m anner of life in the com m unity. 1. H e w as faithful (w . 1-6). One of the g reat tem ptations facing the one who is a preacher or teach er of God’s W ord is to let his fe a r of m en cause him to adjust his m essage, to use a b it of flattery, to please m en. P au l w as “bold in our God” (v. 2), not trying to deceive or m is­ lead anyone (v. 3), seeking only God’s approval (v. 4), not trying to m ake m oney for him self or gain standing w ith m en by sm ooth w ords (v. 5), and not claim ing a high po­ sition or authority over m en (v. 6). 2. H e w as affectionate (w . 7-9). How often those who a re faithful and bold in preaching tha tru th ruin the effect of their w ork by be­ ing harsh and unkind. H ere is a lesson m any of us need to learn. To be gentle (v. 7) a m an m ust be strong. The cardinal quality of a strong C hristian should be th a t he is a gentlem an, or she a gentle­ w om an. If not, there is not real strength in the life. P au l gave not only a m essage, he gave him self—his very soul (v. 8). The people to w hom he m inis­ tered w ere “ d ear” to him . The pastor who looks dow n a t his con­ gregation w ith hardness, and p er­ haps h atred for som e individual, needs to read this passage and find P aul’s secret of success. H e labored w ith his hands to sup­ p ort him self (v. 9), lest anyone think he w as a burden to them . L et no one think th a t this m eans th at a preacher is not w orthy of sup­ port. C hrist H im self declares th at the laborer is w orthy of his hire (Luke 10:7). B ut it does show P au l’s fine spirit of devotion and sacrifice. 3. H e w as unblam able (w ; 10-12). Holy in his life before God, P au l w as read y to live righteously be­ fore m en, and thus to stand unblam ­ able before them and before his L ord. This indeed is a life w orthy in the sight of God (v. 12). In other w ords, the preacher w as able to say to his listeners, “M y Ufe shows you w hat I m ean by m y preaching.” The tru e preacher of the gospel w ill never be satis­ fied to be a signpost, pointing a w ay in w hich he does not w alk.

M ake plenty of this m ixture, so th at it can be poured on the floor liberally, spread w ith a broom and the floor allowed to soak it up. A t the end of som e hours, wipe up any puddles th at m ay rem ain. You m ay have to repeat the treatm ent w ithin a day or two. B ut if you w ish to paint the floor later on, w ater glass should not be used. If you should wish to paint, get a kind of paint that is proof against the ef­ fects of lim e; for ordinary floor paint will not last on a basem ent floor if laid in the usual way. • • • LEAKING FLUSH TANK Q uestion: O ur old-fashioned, high- type of wood flush tank is leaking.

Everyone in this community knows incomes are higher than e v e r before— that both work­ ers and farm ­ ers have more cash than ever Si JffiiSIB before. Every- MJISb SS one knows that m ore than one m em ber of hun­dreds of fam ­ ilies are income •and everyone knows that increases in wages and salaries nave lar outstripped rising prices, ana increased taxes. You can afford io buv Extra W ar Bonds. As a m atter of fact, you can’t afford WUT to Buy Extra W ar Bonds. If you spend your money for needless, scarce goods, you are increasing prices . . . if you want Io help win the w ar you can’t af­ford NOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the service, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds and if you want a gilt-edged investment for your own future security, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra W ar Bonds. Don’t just do the expected—buy All the Bonds you can, THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community YOV ARE IM PORTANT There is no such thing as a "little” investment in the Fourth W ar Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 E xtra W ar Bond m ay not have great im­ p o r ta n c e in your mind in making up a 514 billion dollar to­ tal for individu­als. But multiply y o u r s e l f b y 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. M aurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the C arrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he re- fained consciousness, asked: "Did do m y best?” That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you de­ cide the extent of your personal participation in the Fourth W ar Loan. There undoubtedly will be large single purchases of W ar 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. "Let’s Keep Backing the Attack.” THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community K I L L O R B E K I I A E D United States M arines paid Rie stiffest price in hum an life per square yard for the capture of Tarawa, vital Pacific outpost It was kill or be killed. Your b o y s d id not flinch when they ra n in to th e d eadliest fire ­ power along the beaches of this im portant Gil­ b e r t I s la n d stronghold. This assault, bloody and cost­ ly, is one of the m any which m ust be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. What are you doing to back up the buys? Rem em ber these are boys from this very community, perhaps from your very home. Any home in your neighborhood which today does not display the treas­ ury’s red, white and blue 4th W ar Loan Shield proclaiming "We bought E xtra W ar Bonds” is not backing the attack. Every E xtra War Bond you buy becomes a di­ rect fighter against Japan and Ger­many. if you could but see one m an die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy E xtra W ar Bonds to make each succeeding as­ sault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Ex­ tra Bonds in the 4th W ar Loan if you would help these boys. TH E ED ITO R.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones met No. 59. When new gears were needed to ke-n> farmer Stevens’ tractor working on the ft . a front. . . they arrived in the express car on No. 59. When bad weather came . .. the mail and ex­ press and the passengers continued to come in, and go out, on No. 59. Yes, No. 59’s a “local”. . . one of the many Southern local passenger and freight trains that proudly serve the wartime South .. . that haul your farm products to market... that serve your local industries . . . that stop in your home town to take you where you want to go. Today, No. 59—and all the other trains of the Southern Railway—are proudly serving the Soutli and helping to speed Victory.

L e t's F a c e F a c ts Social Security Plan For Farmers Calls for Careful Consideration B y B A R R O W L Y O N S — WNll Sfqff CorrapoiKfciff WASHINGTON, D. CL— F a rm e rs throughout the land to day a re being asked to give thought­ ful consideration to a proposal that, if adopted, would spell better health for them and their fam ilies, and pro­ tection against m any of the hazards and discom forts of old age—but foi which they would have to pay a price. Proposed am endm ents to the So­ cial Security act incorporated in the W agner - M urray L fi1 B arro w Lyons D ingell Bill would bring benefits tc som e 12 m illion people w orking in A m e ric a n agri­ culture, and about 3 million sm all b u s in e s s m e n , s e I f-e m- ployed profession­ a l w o rk e rs an d d o m e s tic serv­ ants. The m o n e ta ry price to the farm er for a com pre­ hensive system of social insurance would be equal contribution rates for em ployees and em ployers am ount­ ing to 6 per cent on all w ages up to the first $3,000 a year, a 7 p er cent contribution ra te for self-employed persons, with provision for G overn­ m ent contributions to the system , presum ably in 10 to 15 years, when current receipts becom e insufficient to m eet disbursem ents. Taxation, which cannot be determ ined now, would provide the G overnm ent con­ tribution. Farm Groups Accept The intangible price would be the extension of a system which m ade the central governm ent still m ore responsible for the w elfare of in­ dividuals, and placed state govern­ m ents in a position w here Federal authorities m ight exam ine their ad­ m inistration of social security funds, and w ithhold funds if abuses w ere discovered. Som e acceptance of the program already has been gained from lead­ ing farm organizations. L ast N ovem ­ ber, A lbert S. Goss, N ational M as­ te r of the G range, told m em bers in annual session a t G rand Rapids, M ich., th at lack of social security coverage for farm ing is one of the handicaps in holding good w orkers on the farm . F o r the la st two years the N a­ tional F a rm e rs union has supported extension of social security to the farm . At its 1942 convention in Okla­ hom a City a resolution w as adopted which called for m edical care it addition to benefits under old-age and survivors’ insurance. L ast fall the state conventions of the F arm ­ e rs union in M ontana, N orth D akota, Colorado, Iow a, W isconsin, K ansas and O klahom a adopted resolutions favoring the principles of the Wag- ner-M urray-D ingell Bill. The A m erican farm bureau fed­ eration’s genera] counsel, Donald K irkpatrick, is studying the question of endorsem ent of coverage of farm ers and farm labor. At present there is no general pro­ gram in effect to m eet the risks of illness, accident, disability, old age and prem ature death for A m erica’s 6 m illion farm operators. The pro­ portion of them who carry com pa­ rable private insurance is sm all. There are few indeed am ong the 3% to 4'A million paid farm w orkers, and 1% to Vh m illion fam ily help­ ers, who a re adequately covered by private insurance. For the m ost part, when the principal breadw in­ ner of a farm fam ily is stricken by long illness, old age or death, the fam ily has only its own resources to com m and, and too often these are inadequate. Unlike his grandfather, the farm ­ er of today operates with all of the risks which go with com m ercialized and m echanized farm ing. His land values a re m uch higher and fluc­ tuate m ore than they did 50 years ago. H e m ust sell a g reat deal m ore produce to cover his operating costs, and he is subject to m uch greater price and m arket hazards than, his pioneering forefathers. ^ Farm Health Declines T here is another phase of country life th at com paratively few people realize. Surveys of the health of farm fam ilies show that their health is not as good as th a t of city fam i­ lies. F arm children suffer from pre­ ventable 'and correctible defects of teeth, sight and hearing m ore fre­ quently than city children. F arm wom en have tw ice as m any children as city women, and the highest death rates in m aternity cases are found in farm ing areas. F arm er se­ lectees for the arm ed services have ,een rejected because of physical ’.elects in considerably larger pro­ portions than city m en. One bit of evidence: data on se­ lective service draftees betw een 18 and 19 years of age show the high­ est ra te of rejections for farm ers a t 41.1 per cent, the lowest for crafts­ m en a t 20.4 per cent. Proposed legislation calls for a F ederal system of m edical and hos­ pitalization insurance for all persons covered under old-age and sur­ vivors’ insurance and for their de­ pendents.

CoL Frank Kurtz, Flying Fortress pilot, teUs of that fatal day when the Japs struck In the Philippines. Eight of his men are IdUed fleeing for shelter and Old 99, his favorite Flying Fortress, is demolished before it can get off the ground. They escape to AustraUa, spend Christmas day there, and shortly after General Brereton orders them to take the bombers to Java. From there they start on flight for Davao, in the Philippines. They see a great con. centration of ships below them—a Pearl Barbor set-up, but fighters come up and ack-ack gets ho t They make the bomb run, the bombs are flicked out one by one, the bombardier shouts “bombs away/* and they turn and speed forborne. W.N.U.TEATUftEJ CH A PTER IX mI poured on every ounce of pow er we had, and w as about to tu rn for the getaw ay w hen I saw , ju st in tim e, th at old Jim , who h ad dropped his bom bs before I did, had al­ ready started his turn to get off the targ et a few seconds before m e. "T he next thing I did w as to call down to the bom bardier and the nav­ igator to com e on up and tell m e w hat w e’d done to the Japs. "T hey said it had been a sight to w atch. A few of the J a p cruisers and destroyers h ad m anaged to get under w ay, and th eir w akes laced the w ater in g re a t spirals and sw orls as they tried to dodge the bom bs. Aside from these few, they said, we’d caught the Jap s absolutely flat- footed. If there h ad been enough of us, w e could have blown a chunk out of their fleet they w ould never have recovered from . “As it w as, they had w atched four direct hits on a J a p battleship, seen pieces of debris flying in every di­ rection and sm oke starting to bil­ low up. In addition to this, our squadron h ad sunk th ree sm aller craft—tw o cruisers and a transport. “T hey said our- bom b p attern had churned th e whole a re a w hite w ith spouts of foam , and w hat few ships had their pow er up w ere running around like crazy. T hey said thou­ sands of skilled personnel had been killed o r drow ned, and also th a t we had torn hell out of th e dock w orkers and docks a t D avao H arbor. “Only I don’t have tim e to gloat long, for som ething approaching us from ahead catches m y eye through the w indshield.

T here can’t be a M esser- schm itt HO' in this hem isphere, but w hat else could it be w ith th a t split tail? "H e doesn’t alter his course and I don’t alter m ine; and a fte r he’s passed the point w here I could set up a collision course w ith him , I begin to com e to m y senses, to real­ ize th a t I ’m the pilot of a Flying F ortress and m y job is to get hom e safely w ith these boys and this plane, w hich w as never designed to engage in dogfights w ith M esser- schm itts. “ We got b a c k 'to M alang feeling pretty pleased w ith ourselves,” said F rank, "a n d I personally felt I had m ade headw ay settling m y old Philippine score. B ut in J a v a w e found th ere w ere troubles ahead, and the least of these w as th a t our N avy w as accusing u s o f bom bing their ships. They didn’t say any of them had been hit, ju st th a t they’d had to b e at off an attack , and it. occurred to m e th a t this m ight ex­ plain all those firew orks w hich cam e whooping up under our chins through the overcast th a t night over the Celebes Sea. B ut w e w ere never sure. “ So w e said, ‘Then w hy don’t you tell us w here your ships a re going to be?’ but it seem ed th a t h ad never been done—a ruling from th e N avy D epartm ent in W ashington. I guess those guys m ust take som e kind of a bom b-sight oath n ever to tell any­ thing to anybody who doesn’t w ear black shoes. “ B ut plenty m ore w as going on. It developed th a t our sm ash a t the J a p fleet in D avao had been al­ m ost too successful. B ecause D avao w as no longer a safe base for them , they had apparently boosted up th eir schedule by tw o o r th ree w eeks. O ur reconnaissance w ent clear up to the D avao a re a and re ­ ported nothing th ere; then w e found out th e whole gang h ad m oved out together and they w ere off the coast of Borneo, m oving dow n into M acas­ s a r S trait, and it w as clear they intended to clean out Borneo—not only because of our advance bases there, b u t because they w anted the rich oil fields a t T arak an and B alak- papan on the eastern coast of Bor­ neo, w here the oil is so rich they say you can pum p it rig h t into th e bunk­ ers of ships. O f course they’d built up big oil reserv es w hich Biey had bought from us before P e a rl H ar­ bor, b u t now they w ere out to grab off som e fields of th eir own. "A nd who w as going to stop them ? It w as up to us to try , because w e seem ed to be th e only force th e U nited N ations had in th a t a re a big enough to. tackle the J a p fleet. : “W e .w ere briefed before daw n— told everything th a t w as know n about t]ri£: big J a p gang of ships off northeast Borneo—and a t 6:30 in th e .m orning nine of. us. took off from the, M alaog Field.. W e planned to fly over th e J a v a Sea and then in- Iahd- over Borneo, carrying to sta rt w ith an altitude of about 9,500 feet. B ut about eight o’clock w e hit a tropical front w hich w as a night­ m are—fog so dense you could hardly see to light th e tip of your cigarette. "W hen w e saw it com ing ahead, each V spread out a little, so we w ouldn’t collide. Only we didn’t dream how dense and how long it w as going to be. “ It w as like trying to fly inside a giant bale of cotton—so dense th at w hen you looked out a t the side you could barely see your own wing tips. And looking straig h t ahead, th a t bale of cotton seem ed tightly packed against your w indshield, only it w as a dull flat gray-w hite, like the cotton I im agine they’d spin w inding sheets out of. And you’d stare into th e w indshield, trying to see how close you w ere to your wing m an, but there w ould only be that flat w hite, squeezed tight against your w indshield, m uffling every­ thing. Then all of a sudden, the wing of the plane ahead would com e surging into view out of th a t wind­ ing sheet, so terribly big and close th a t you would frantically je rk back all four throttles to cut your pow er, and begin fishtailing your rudder to slow the big b rute dow n a little, praying th at by this you'd m iss crashing into the plane ahead at le a st by a few yards. "W e’d been fighting through it on instrum ents,' because inside th at cot- The gallant D utch a re burning up th eir Borneo oil fields. ton bale you couldn’t see stars or ocean, and it took so m uch h ard fly­ ing th a t I w as having m y co-pilot handle the pow er for m e. If I thought I w as dropping behind the rest, m ay­ be I would get lost and have to go over the targ et alone, w hich by now w e knew w as a dangerous business, I’d say to him , ‘All right, give m e a little m ore m ercury now—about four inches.’ Then w hen I’d catch a glim pse of the plane ahead I’d say: ‘O kay, now you can bring it back to thirty inches. W e’re sitting okay—I can see him fine.’ A nd I could for a m inute o r so. ‘W ithout w arning I break into the clear. I haven’t clim bed over that cloud, but instead have flown out of one of the w alls of an enorm ous cloud canyon and am now flying aTound in the clear a ir betw een the precipices. “ A head of m e loom s the other can­ yon w all. M aybe it’s thirty m iles aw ay, m aybe fifty—you can’t ever judge the distance of a cloud, be­ cause they don’t com e In standard sizes. B ut cloud canyons like this one a re one m agnificent sight th at you never see any place except in the high skies. "B ecause, you see, the m orning sun w as slanting down from behind m e, over the top of the canyon w all out of w hich I h ad ju st com e, to h it the top half of the cloud-canyon w all ahead. T hat top half m ight have been built out of burnished silver feath er beds piled one on top the other, and y et you looked again and it seem ed to be so firm it could be carved of glistening ice o r m ar­ ble. “ I a m w ondering if old Jim Is also looking a t all this w hen sud­ denly his voice com es out of no­ w here into m y earphones. “ ‘Connally to K urtz,’ he is call­ ing. ‘“ K urtz answ ering Connally,’ I say. “ ‘H ave you broken into the clear yet?’ he asks. " ‘Into th e clear, Jim , a t 14,500. Now I ’m turning onto 270 degrees.’ T h at m eans I ’m turning w est to fly down th a t canyon to see if I can’t catch sight of Jim , w hose voice is so loud in m y ears. Suddenly I see a single F o rtress ahead there in the canyon. I pick him up w hen the reflecting sun hits his uptilted w ing. H e is circling. “ ‘I think I see you, Jim ,’ I call. ‘Continue to circle.’ I head tow ard the plane and fall in on its 1 wing, continuing the long slow circle in­ side the canyon in the hope w e’ll pick up som e of the others, and won’t have to go in on the ta rg e t alone. M eanw hile th e radio operators of the tw o planes have started talking to each other by w inking th eir Aldis lam ps back and forth. W e’re so n e ar the ta rg e t I don’t w ant to use the radio any m ore than necessary. And ju st then I spot a third plane— about 500 feet below us and far- th e r w est down the canyon. Ju st as I’m w ondering w hich one it is, m y radio operator reports th a t the plane w e’re circling on isn’t Jim a t all, it’s Bill Bohnaker. So w e drop on down the canyon and sure enough, th at third plane turns out to be old Jim . I can read his num ber plain now on his tail. Now there a re three of us in the circle, w ondering w hat in bell has becom e of the o ther six, We haven’t got the gas to stay in this golden d ream castle m uch long­ er. B ut ju st then m y radio operator com es in w ith a m essage from Combs, the leader. God knows w here he is, but he’s telling us, ‘Continuing to ta rg e t,’ and he’s sending it out by key, w here he can use code, be­ cause he daren’t use voice so close to the ta rg e t as he m ust by now be, because m ost of these dam n Zero pilots seem ed to have gradu­ ated from Los A ngeles H igh School and understand E nglish as w ell as you do. "AU right, continue it is, so now w e plunged back into th a t dam ned front—the opposite canyon w all—and the gray m ist packed dow n around m y w indshield again. W e continued to clim b in th at deathly w hiteness— first one w ing and then the other surging into m y view . I flew it for forty-five m inutes and decided it w as ju st too m uch to risk crashing into each other w hen w e w ere so close to the targ et. So w ithout any m essage to Jim o r BiU I decided I ’d spread out. I flew 45 degrees for th irty seconds, then back thirty m ore seconds, and then continued on the old course—flying on instru­ m ents, of course. B ut now th at w e w ere staggered both in altitude and in interval, it w asn’t so bad. “F inally we broke out Into the clear a t 27,000 feet a t a q u arter after ten and discovered w e had lost in­ terv al only by a very Uttle. B ut I w as groggy—w e’d been on oxygen for four and a half hours already. "B u t the w eather w as stiU playing tricks. Now th e m ist w as com ing In g reat tufts, thicker th an cotton W adding, while below u s w as a thin lay er of overcast. "W e w ere getting close to the ta r­ get now. Should w e clim b higher? T here w asn’t m uch point, because if we did, th a t overcast lay er m ight thicken so th at w e couldn’t see Uie targ et, and w e’d have to com e down below it to unload. “B ut w here’s BiU B ohnaker? I look back and see th a t he’s very slowly peeling off. I w onder w hy. P robably supercharger trouble. Then I think to m yself, ‘T here he goes, and I’d hoped m aybe a t least Uiree of us could go in together.’ B ecause in m y m ind is th a t rain-check idea —the score isn’t settled yet, and if th at ta rg e t is open a t all, I’ve m ade up m y m ind I’m going in. And I think to m yself, ‘H ere w e go again, Jim , just you and m e.’ “ About this tim e I h ear a gunner on Com bs’ ship—they’ve broken ra ­ dio sUence, w hich m eans they’re on the ta rg e t—saying, ‘Lots of enem y fighters sighted!’ "B ut they’re stiU fa r ahead, out of sight. H ere w e a re again, in a staggered attack—the stragglers to b e a r the b runt of w hat the first flights stir up.. We ought to know b etter, but stiU* I’m going on in. “ The w eather gets crazier and crazier—these enorm ous tufts not stratified a t aU, but floating around a t alm ost any altitude. And m y co­ pilot seem s to be fascinated by a big black one th at isn’t shaped quite like a thunderhead. It m ight be one of those D akota tornado funnels, only it doesn’t, revolve. ‘Then suddenly he says, staring a t it: ‘HeU, F ran k , th at isn’t a cloud a t all—look!’ I follow his finger, and down a t the base of th a t cloud, on the ground, is a crackling, flam ing oil field!

PA U L IN CORINTB LESSON TEXT**-Acts 18:1-4; I Corinthi­ ans 13. GOIjDEN TEXT—But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.—I Corinthians 13:13. W ho is a C hristian? One m ight answ er in a num ber of w ays. H e is one who has been saved by the re ­ deem ing grace of Jesus C hrist. He is one who seeks to live a life in ac­ cord w ith the w ill of God. He is a w itness for God, and so on. B ut the answ er th at the whole w orld under­ stands is a life in w hich the re­ deem ing love of C hrist begets a true love for one’s, fellow m an. I. An E xam ple of C hristian Love (A cts 18:1-4). Teaching and preaching are God’s ordained w ay for presenting the truth. They are effective, but only w hen done by one w hose life ex­ em plifies the truth. In his letter to the C orinthians P aul gives the great­ est discussion of love known to the w orld, but before he w rote it he had lived that truth before them . The Holy Spirit spoke through him of love, because H e had already lived the tru th out in the preacher. Two things appear here: P aul w as: 1. W orking (w . 1-3). The w orld’s m ost distinguished m issionary and preacher had arriv ed in Corinth. W here w as the w elcom ing com m it­ tee of local dignitaries? T here w as none. W hose com fortable hom e would receive him ? None w as of­ fered. H is w as the lot of the pio­ neer for C hrist. H e had to hunt up a Jew ish fellow craftsm an and go to w ork to earn his bread. P aul, like every other Jew ish boy, had learned a trade, som ething he could do w ith his hands. H e w as a tent and sail m aker, and w as not asham ed to w ork a t his trade. A m ore recen t follow er of C hrist put it thus: “ M y business is to preach the gospel, b u t I pack m e a t to pay the expenses.” B ut notice th a t P aul did not let this w ork becom e the chief thing. As the L ord prospered him he did not decide to “ go back into busi­ ness.” No, for his real business w as: 2. W itnessing (v. 4). H e began, as w as his custom , in the synagogue, presenting C hrist to Jew s and G reeks. The Jew s opposed him (see v. 6), and then P aul addressed him ­ self to the G entiles. God prospered th a t m inistry and encouraged P au l by a vision, assur­ ing him th a t the L ora had “ m uch people” (v. 10) in th a t w icked city. .The love of C hrist in P aul thus shone forth as a light in the darkness of sin and superstition. Love w as som ething w hich tha heathen w orld of P au l’s day had so m isrepresented and distorted (even as it has today) th a t it needed def­ inition and exposition. So w e have— II. An E xplanation of C hristian Love (I Cor. 13). This is one of the outstanding chapters of all Scripture. Its m ag­ nificent discussion of the greatest of all them es has draw n forth m any choice expositions. The thought centers around the em ptiness of the loveless life, the glory of the life of love, and the eternal unchangeable pow er of love. W e g ather it up in three w ords. 1. Indispensable (w . 1-3). W ith­ out love m an’s attainm ents are em p­ ty. He m ay becom e an orator w ith a “heavenly” gift of speech, but un­ less he truly loves, his elegant and persuasive talk is just a m eaning­ less noise. How true! One m ay also have m arvelous gifts of prophetic insight and a won­ der-w orking faith, and find th a t it is all a vain and em pty experience w ithout love. O ur w orld leaders could w ell study th a t verse ju st now. Sacrificial interest in the needs of m ankind is a fine tra it in m an, but it m ust have the love of C hrist in it o r it too is profitless. As we think of feeding the hungry nations of the earth, let us not forget to m ake it w orth w hile by doing it in C hristian love. 2. Incom parable (w . 4-7). The stan d ard for the life of a C hristian is a very high one; in fact, it is im ­ possible of attain m en t a p a rt from the grace and pow er of C h rist N at­ urally, w e find ourselves to be im ­ patient, proud, suspicious, resentful, etc. The new n atu re in C hrist is ju st the opposite; for love rules. N ote th a t phrase “ endureth all things.” W e need th a t in these days w hen it is so h ard to keep o.n going, or a s som eone said, “ to keep on keeping on.” Love endures all things. 3. Im m utable (w . 8-13). AU things in life change and pass aw ay. Love is etern al and unchangeable. E ven the spiritual gifts have their fulfillm ent and p ass from view , but love shall endure through all eter­ nity. God, the E tern al One, is love (I John 4:8, 16). W hen w e shall com e to th a t per­ fectness of understanding w hich is to be ours one day, w hen w e shall know even as God now know s us, then w e sh all see love a s the su­ p rem e gift, eternal in its pow er and validity. ___________.

LOOKING AHEAD W i t h CREGG CHERRY. GREGG CHERRY The people of North Carolina have always been careful in the selection of their officials. Their interest in the affairs of govern­ ment has been a contributing factor in placing North Carolina in the list of the leading States of the Nation, and their continued interest will reflect itself in the days ahead, when many vital prob­ lems resulting from war, must be decided. Down through the years, we have been blessed with Governors who were trustworthy and progressive, keen in the knowledge of business and government, interested in the problems of our people, and with definite and sound ideas as to policies and plan' for successful government. Gregg Cherry is no exception to the long list of outstanding states­ men who have proposed, and then carried out. the pro^ssive policies that have made this a great State. Presented below are excerpts from his 20-point program. This legislation will affect every citizen and his home. These policies as outlined by Cherry in this program, assure our people a continuation of the progressive type of government that North Carolina has always had. C H E G G C H E R R Y S A Y S - “As a candidate for the high office of Governor of North Carolina, I feel it my duty to lay before the people my ideas on public questions with which the next Governor will have to deal. I am offering the people of this State a program for the continued progress of this great State. Since I will be the next Governor of North Carolina, I will have to live by these promises and this platform. For that reason I have been careful not to make promises which the financial condition of the State and the taxpaying ability of our citizenship will make it impossible for me to keep. 4 “More could be promised, both as to tax reduction and increased expenditures. Promises that a r e not backed by mature consideration of the facts involved mislead the people. For that reason, and subject to the provisions of the platform of the Democratic Party at its next convention, I suggest h e re w ith a program for progress which I feel to be within the ability of the people to accomplish.” C h e r r y 's 2 © R o i n t P r o g r a m F o r P r o g r e s s 1. Pay General Fond debts and earm ark $5,000,000 ol the surplus to meet postwar emergencies. 2.

Iaenhour. Hiddenite. N. C. Perhaps there are people in every locality who will be greatly missed when they die or move away, as they are Chrtstian citizens, loving and serving God and blessing their fellowmen. They are good neigh­ bors, accomodating, kind, always ready to help every needy cause. They are men aud women of pray­ er, faith and love. They build our ohprches, our schools, and support the Gospel with their lives and means. You can count on them. They are liberal with their means and would not be stingy, close fist, ed and selfish any quicker than they would become drunken. No body can call them "tight wads" and tell the truth. Such people are greatly missed when they die or when they move. The commu­ nity feels the loss very deeply. How much will you be missed when you are gone? Perhaps, on the other hand, you wili find people in every commun­ ity practically who are a binder- ance rather than a help. Many of them are absolutely a curse. They are leaders in dsunkenness, or in worldliness. They seem to care nothing for the moral and spiritual uplift of the community, nor for the salvation of precious souls Their influence is never uplifting, but down-pulling. They help to wreck and ruin the boys and girls of the community, break the hearts of fathers and mothers, wreak and destroy many homes. It seems that they are absolutely bent on evil, and they plan and purpose to carry it out. How awful to have such an aim and purpose. It will be dreadful for such people to meet God. And then in aimost every com­ munity you will find "tight wads." They are so close and stingy and selfish until one wonders just how much pleasure they get out of Iiv ing. As the old saying is, they would "skin a flea for its hide and tallow." They are so close, so griping after money, or property, or so stingy, or so srlfisb until they make themselves miserable, and no body wants to neighbor with them, nor have any dealings with them. Such folks would let every church in the land rot down before they would help bnild one, and would almost let people starve to death in tbetr midst before they would give them a peck of meal or a gallon of flour. God pity their poor, stingy griping, selfish hearts. Why, a drunkard will get to heaven just as quick as they will. In fact, there are drunkards who have a better principal. But, how much will you be missed when you are gone? D o Y ov K n ow — That tbe Federal Governmentnow carries on its civil payroll more than one employee for every three men m the military services? One for every 41 of national population? That the annual Federal bill for non military telephones and tele­ grams runs to thirty million dollars dollars and Government printing costs about sixty million a year? That travel expenditures by Fed­ eral bill for non-military telephones and telegrams runs to thirty million dollars and Government printing costs about sixty million a year? That travel expenditures by Fed­ eral agencies (exclusive of all mill tary travel) for the fiscal year 1941 amounted to $67,398 210 00? Land posters at this office. J A C on strvctive S erv ice A demand that the coofusion caused by the admisistratiop of food problems by several Govern­ ment agencies be corrected by cen tralization of all food administra­ tion under one agency with full responsibility was renewed In Con, gress recently bv Congressman Thomas A. Jenkins of Ohio, chair­ man of the Republican Congression­ al Food Study Committee. Studies made bv this committee of the problems involved in Govern­ ment has been completed to give a- way without price and without ra­ tion points great quantities of food supplies in an effort to prevent spoilage As a result ot these stu­ dies. the Phillips bill which provides for the ordeily disposition of Gov­ ernment food surpluses by a single agency which would abso.b the functions of other agencies now in­ volved in the same work, was in­ troduced in Congress and is pend­ ing before tbe Committee the same work, was introdued in Congress and is pending before the Commit, tee on Agriculture The first major accomplishment ot the Republican Congressional Food Study Committee, which functions without a single penny of expense to the taxpayers of the na tion, was the induction of the Jenk­ ins bill, which provides for tbe centralization of all food administra tion under a single head, with full authority as well as full responsi­ bility. As a result of this proposed Iegis lation tbe various food agencies of the Government have shown a ten­ dency to compose their jealousies of the Government have shown a tendency to compose their jealousi­ es and tber oyer lapping jurisdic­ tions. In throwing the spot light of poublicity upon troublesome weak­ nesses in the administration of the food problem the Republican Con- gresional Food Stndy Committee Has bad an important part in cbang. ing the trend of bureaucracy. Next in importance to the war- activities in tbe problems of food and sustenance. Food is a mill tary problem as well as domestic paoplem. The Republican Party has not only cooperated in every way with the Adminlstratien in sol­ ving intricate food problems but it has offered many constructive sug­ gestions, many of which have been accepted. T oo M och R ed T ap e From North Carolina: "The OPA., FDA., and ODTareissuing so many directives to our dairymen in this region that it is threatening to undermine our efforts to stimu late production of milk. Most of these directives will not change tbe cost of milk to the consumer, nor increase the price to the producer. They create such a feeling of un­ certainly, aud subject the producers and handlers to so much red tape, that many more of our producers are now thinking seriously of dis­ continuing their operations.” B erry M ark et B ad The agriculture department says a "rather demoralized” condition has developed on the eastern Caro­ lina strawberry markets because of the $7.70 a crate ceiling that went into effect several days ago. Until the ceiling went into effect, some berries brought' as high as $11 a crate. » The Record only $1.00. WITH WAR B O N D S M aster o f N ation al G range O p p oses Farm S u b sid ies Albert S. Gross, master of the National Grange, is unalterably op. posed to subsidies and believes they will lend Inevitably to chaos. He cites, tor example, the price of milk. “Let us assume that it is cost, ing $2.50 a hundred to produce milk and we bave a ceiling of $3 and a subsidy of 50 cents. Gra dually our costs of going to con­ tinue to rise. We must be realis­ tic and continue to rise. We must be realistic and recognize that. The subsidy will, of necessity, be in­ creased to 75 cents, possibly a dol­ lar and we find our farmers receiv- iog $3 a hundred in order to keep them in production, but $2 is re ceived from tbe market place and $1 from the Government. “And then, if we are to avoid dangerous credit inflation, one of tbe finest responsibities that Con gress will have will be to balance tbe budget. And when that day comes one of the first things that will lopped off are these hundreds and millions, yes. several billion dol- Iars in subsidies. Tben tbe farmer will find himself receiving $3 for his milk with a cost of $3. One of two things is bound to happen: Either be has got to raise his price or he has got to go but of production.’’ A u U n seen M ortgage The national wealth of America is tbe collateral back of tbe bonds representing the national debt. A considerable portion of that nation­ al wealth is tbe homes in which we live. There is an unseen mortgage on eaeb and every home in tbe land and regardless of who owns them, the people living in those homes must pay those mortgages. Be­ cause there are but two of us. there is charged up against our home $2,- 768 as the share of the national mortage we must pay. Across tbe street is a modest cot- tage occupied by a family of ffve. The share of those ffve people, fa­ ther, mother and three children, is nearly /7,000. Regardless of who owns that cottage, that family must pay. Tbe payment comes in the form of taxes, either direct or indi­ rect, or both. In interest alone, that family of five must pay as much as $130 each year. That is wbat tbe national debt means to us as individuals. It de­ monstrates mir Interest in economy in government. We must pay for tbe waste, whatever it may be.— Wright A. Patterson. There is one tbing the enemies can’t say about the New Dealers They are no penny pinchers.— Baudette, Minn., Region.

S la m m io g D oora Having been requested to write an editorial on “How a lady should shut a door” we hasten to comply, but on giving the matter a little thought we' find the assisgnment is not quite as simple as it appears at lirat glace. Oh, we know our valued subsciber and constant reader wants us to im­ press someone in her household that a lady should never slam a door, or bardly ever at any rete, but there comes a time in tbe life of ail ladies when door-slamming is entirely justi­ fiable. If she is a very young lady, for in­ stance, and bappy to be late for school in tbe morning and tears down the hall snatching her books hat and coat on tbe run, she can’t be expected to put on the brakes as she shoots out the door to close it ever so gently. That would surely be too much to expect of one bent on so important a mission as getting to school on time. We claim she is entitled to forgiveness if the dosing door echoes to the top floor like a cannot short and starles late dream­ ers, to fretful awakening. And if she happens to be a slight­ ly older young lady, and a ‘‘hot’’ date impatiently honks a born at the curb, if it was us now, we’d be glad enough to hear the front door slam as a signal that the horn blowing is about to stop. And suppose a lady, bent on get­ ting dinner, answers the door bell to be confronted with a gentleman who insists on demonstrating hiB en­ tire line of brushes and gadgets even though the lady isn’t interested at all, not at all. how should a lady shut the door then? If she can induce him to withdraw bis foot by stomp­ ing on it real hard, we believe in a case like that she may be entirely justified in slamming the door shut and turning the key quickly, and if she tops all that with an an invol­ untary “darn” we’d hold that she is still entitled to be called a lady. Slamming is bard on doors, nerves and ear-drums, but as we started out to say, there comes a time in life of all of us when it is unavoid- even necessary.—Statesville Daily. Aren’t we United Staters going to feel sort of silly if later we learn that a lot of this good neighbor South American policy really does turn out to matcb tbe predictions of the old-time saying that "When you have to buv a friend you are getting an enemy free?" — Nor- wood, Iowa, Anchor.

A U In G ood T im e (Charlotte Observer) Drop of 25 per cent in war pro­ duction, expected to follow defeat of Germany means that much more for civilian output. Charles E. Wilson of the War Production board says It can be used, of course, that 25 per cent, but until then no civilian complain. The first tbing now is to defeat Germany and Japan. Civi­ lians do not seem to be especially suffering for lack of essentials. Until that happy day. most civi­ lians would prefer to put up with wbat they have and even less, in or­ der to hasten the time of defeat. Unhappily, there are others 0 f swinish tendencies, who think they should live as well and be as plentiful­ ly supplied as in the days before the war. They must and will be re­ strained, however. As much noise as they make and loud as their de­ mands, they are still in a minority. There is now plenty for all and when Germany falls there will be more than enough. We can all well wait.

This val­ uable product of the roots of species of D erris and Lonchocarpus (com ­ m only called cube or tim bo) w as im ported from the Southw est P a ­ cific and South A m erica, respective­ ly, before the w ar. A fter supplies from M alaya and the E a st Indies w ere cut off, the, developm ent of derris culture in C entral and South A m erica w as given im petus. Rotenone is an organic compound toxic to m any insects and poisonous to fish, but is not considered harm ­ ful to m an in dilutions sufficient to hill insects. This m akes possible the use of the ground derris or cube root on leafy vegetables. The roots a re usually ground sufficiently fine so th at m ost of the pow der w ill pass through a 200-m esh screen, and it is used in diluted form . G round rote- none-bearing roots, how ever, m ay irrita te tender skin and the m ucous m em branes. Both the spray and dust m ethods are used in treating infested plants. T he m ost im portant uses of rote­ none root pow der are on vegetables, fruits and flowers to control the M exican bean beetle, cabbage cat­ erpillars, cucum ber beetles, the pea aphis, the pea weevil, the asparagus beetle, flea beetles, the cherry fruit- fly, the currant w orm , rose slugs, the Japanese beetle, spittle bugs on straw berries, and the iris thrips. In com bination w ith pyrethrum extract and sulfonated castor oil, rotenone is also effective against red spiders, thrips (except the gladiolus thrips), aphids, cucum ber beetles, tarnished plant bugs, certain species of leaf rollers, and leaf tiers. The departm ent of agriculture re ­ ports th at properly packaged and stored ground roots containing rote- uone do not deteriorate appreciably for several years. D eterioration w as also not found w hen the ground roots w ere diluted with inert c arriers like pyrophyllite, neutral talc, or pow­ dered plant products and placed in closed containers in a dark, dry room . Im ports of rotenone-bearing roots into the United States had reached a total of eight m illion pounds in 1941, showing a rapid increase over the preceding five-year period. W ith the extension of the use of rotenone insecticides through experim ents by entom ologists, a further upw ard m ovem ent in dem and m ay be antici­ pated. A lready, developm ent of the rotenone industry in the L atin A m er­ ican cotm tries has reached such pro­ portions th a t the southern nations are establishing th eir own experi­ m ent stations for the further study of these root crops. Rabbiteye Blueberries Rapidly Gaining Favor ’ H arvesting blueberries from a step-ladder is not unusual in Geor­ gia and Florida. The tall and pro­ lific “rabbiteye” blueberries, rapidly com ing into favor, a re responsible. Y ields of 2,000 quarts of berries per acre a re not exceptional, and the va­ riety grow s faster as w ell as higher than other species, say the horticul­ turists. O ne-year shoots 60 inches high are com m on in w ell-fertilized fields, it is reported, and m ature bushes often reach 15 feet. V alua­ ble for hom e and m ark et fruit, the rabbiteye blueberry also helps con­ trol erosion by m eans of its m any fine, fibrous roots close to the ground surface which help anchor the soil.

PA U L ENCOURAGES T H E CORINTHIANS LESSON TEXT—n Corinthians 4:5, 16-18; 6:1. 5-8. 14-19. GOLDEN TEXT—Ve know the grace at our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.—II Corinthians 8:9. "N othing is certain but uncertain­ ty,” so says the m odem philosopher. B ut m an cannot be satisfied w ith constant change and confusion. T hat is w hy, in our day of unheard-of dis­ ruption of ordinary life patterns, m en and w om en especially need the m essage of the gospel, for in C hrist w e find the answ er to our quest for certainty and stability. P au l w riting to encourage the church at Corinth assured them th a t life m ay be steady, useful and true because they a re C hristians. H e pre­ sents: T he C hristian—a S ervant of M en for C hrist’s Sake (II Cor. 4:5), H av­ ing— I. A Vision W hich Lightens Afflic­ tion (II Cor. 4:16-18). A ny honest person knows th a t in the tem poral w orld round about him everything speaks of death. All things tend to ru n down, to w ear out, to decay, including the body of m an. H e sees his m ental as w ell as his physical pow ers com ing to a certain m aturity only to go into de­ cline. A t the sam e tim e he is conscious of the deep burden of affliction and sorrow w hich seem s to press down on all the w orld like an alm ost un­ bearable and crushing w eight. W hat can he do about it? Shall he try to dissipate the clouds by artificial cheerfulness? It w ill not w ork. O ur text gives us the answ er. “F o r this cause w e fain t not,” says Paul. The things w hich press us down are only tem poral—they a re of this w orld. God’s w orld is eternal. The w eakness of the physical body only m akes the strength of the spiritual life m ore evident. The affliction which seem s so heavy is only a “ light affliction” w hen one rem em ­ bers the “ eternal w eight of glory.” Is this ju st a bit of “ escapism ” ? Is it only som e w ishful thinking? No, indeed. H ave not m en learned anew in the w ar th a t the only pos­ sessions you can keep a re those w hich cannot be bom bed to pieces or stolen? Obviously, th a t is tru e in the high­ e st degree of the one who knows C hrist, and whose riches a re those of eternity. How trium phantly he can m eet decay and sorrow ! H e is of the other w orld, and nothing here can be m ore than a light affliction, which seem s negligible in the light of the glory of etern al things. Ah, but it’s g reat to be a C hristian in such days as these! II. A n A ssurance W hich Rem oves F e a r (II Cor. 5:1, 5-8). Of all the fears w hich afflict m o r ta l m an the g reatest and the ulti­ m ate one is the fear of death. He know s th a t it is so absolute and final th a t it term inates everything and sep arates him from all th a t he has know n and held d ear in this world. T hat is ju st the point, death does end everything (except the awful fear of judgm ent for a w asted w icked life!) for those w ho live only for this w orld. M an, how ever, w as never in­ tended for ju st this present life. He is a being who has eternity w ritten in his very personality. W hat if this “ earthly tabernacle” —m y body—does give up, says Paul. I have a “ building of God,” som e­ thing w hich m an did not m ake with his hands, an eternal hom e in glory. T hat gives a m an confidence. W hile he is here in the body, he lives and w alks by faith, but when absent from this body, he is "p res­ en t w ith the Lord.” How altogether delightful and m arvelous is the fu­ ture, even beyond the grave, for the believer. H ence, w e "sorrow not as others w hich have no hope” (read I T hess. 4:13-18). H I. A Hope W iilch M akes H im a Living Testim ony (II Cor. 5:14-19). W orldly people som etim es wonder w hat trem endous and tireless m otive pow er keeps C hristians w orking for the L ord in the face of im possible difficulties. W e have th a t m otive nam ed in verse 14—“ the love oi C hrist constraineth us.” T here is no com pulsion about real C hristian testim ony and service. T here is no feeling th a t one m ust dc this or th a t in order to please God. No, the com pelling force here is the love of a dying Saviour. It is the suprem ely pow erful and all persua­ sive influence of love. C hrist died for all, and those who realize th at, know th a t they cannot “ henceforth live unto them selves” (v. 15). The social standing, o r fam ­ ily connections *of our fellow m en, no longer control. C hrist died foi them and we m ust bring them the w ord of life. N otice in verse 17 th a t it is the born-again-one who has this hope. M any church m em bers whose lives a re pow erless and sinful a re so be­ cause they have never been born again. “ E xcept a m an be borr. again” (John 3:3) he is not a C hris­ tian. T hat is the place to begin. Take C hrist by faith. S - E l V I N G C I R C L E 8615-C1 2-6 yn.

We were led to believe some time ago that there was a paper short age, but we have decided that the shortage hasn’t reached an acute stage. We get enough campaign literature from Democratic office seekrs each week to supply many families with alll the paper the could nse under ordinary circum­ stances. D aily M om ent o f P rayer Each week day at noon, the fire siren in this city is sounding as a call to the "moment of Draver.” for lo­cal citizens AU persons are asked to pause and offer a silent prayer for the preservation of our brave boys who are on the far fiung battle lines. It is going to take both praying and fighting to win this war. When invasion day comes our citi­zens are urged to quit their work and assemble at the Mocksville Meth­ odist Church and unite in prayer for the success of our boys on the fields of battle. This daily "moment of prayer” has the endorsement of the local merchants’ association. R B. San­ ford, chairman of the committee, who proposed the original suggest­ ion at the merchants’ meeting, says that the ministers and town board heartily endorsed the idea.

L E G IO N N A IR E tS OPEN LETTER TO Gregg Cherry Mav 16, 1944 Winston-Salem, N C. Honorable R. Gregg Cherry,ORaleigh, North Carolina Dear Gregg: It wan my pleasure to serve in France with you in the World War I in the 30th Division. Of course, as you know, I was in the 105th Engineers and you were Captain of the 115th Machine Gun Company. I recall as if it w-s yesterday when we were building concrete machine gun emplacements in “do man’s” land near Ypres, Belgium. As you remember this work had to be done at night as we were under observation and range of the German artillery and also machine gnns. I remember the many nights while we were at work that yon would come out and inspect and advise .us in the construction; and also as soon as one emplacement was com pleted, you and your men would move in. I know that never a night passed but that you visited each and every one of these emplacements, looking to the welfare and comfort of the men who served under you and my comrades who were helping con­ struct these emplacements. I had the opportunity time after time to talk to the men who served in your command, and I know that they held you in the higest esteem; that they felt like that at all times vou were looking after their well-being; that no task was too menial, but that you would take bold and help them ont and that you bad the interest of everv man in your command at heart. The test of a. good commanding officer is the esteem in which he is held by his men. Youofttimes exposed yourself to danger beyond the call of duty to further the well-being and the interest of yonr men, and i is my judgment that after talking with numerous men in- your command and seeing yon in action on different oc­ casions, that the spirit von engendered by yonr leadership added greatly to the success of yonr Company made on September 29th, !<318 in the breaking of the Hindenburg Line. It might interest von to know that my boy, Lieutenant Bill Rierson, was recently shot down over Germany while flying a P-38 and is now a German prisoner, and I believe that I know something about what War means; and I forth: r believe that yonr experience as a soldier and a leader, together with your ex­ perience in serving seven terms in the Legislature admirably fit yon to meet the problems ol the returning soldier from this War. I also know that thousands of mothers and fathers feel about this as I do. With best wishes to you for your continued success, I am. Sincerely yours, J. BRYAN RIERSON, Member of the 105th Engineers Company, 30th Division.

MOCKSVILLE, N. C. L e t's F a c e F a c ts Boom in Farm Values Looms Vp as Menace To Economical Farmer By B A R R O W L Y O N S i— WNU Staff Correspondent ■ - > B arrow Lyons ; C ountry A m erica is headed direct­ ly into a land-boom spree, if som e­ thing isn’t done to stop it. A verage farm land values rose nine p er cent In 1942 over those of 1941. In 1943 the rise w as 15 per cent—a boost of 25 p er cent in tw o years—and values a re still going up a t a ra te of a t least I p er cent a m onth. In som e a re as the upw ard push has been even greater. In K entucky, for instance, crop controls for to­ bacco before the w ar and the ab­ norm al dem and f o r B urley leaf during t h e w ar h a v e b ro u g h t about an increase in farm land val­ ues of 70 per cent over the 1935-39 average. O ut on the Pacific coast, the quest of thou­ sands of w ar factory w orkers for security on the land and the increase in produce values m eant a rise of 30 per cent to 50 per cent in farm land values during the sam e period. The g re a t rise in prices of farm com m odities has induced m any pur­ chases for quick profit. A C alifornia land dealer reported the sale of a 1,000-acre rice farm a t $50 an acre— th a t’s $50,000—but the fa rm e r who bought it w as able to obtain m ore than $50,000 for his crop in one year. A vineyard n e ar F resno valued a t $200 during the depression sold re­ cently for $8,000, E ven the land brokers are w orried ibout th e situation, despite down paym ents of one-third the selling price. No one expects farm ing to continue to be as profitable as it is now for an indefinite num ber of y ears, even if farm produce prices rem ain on a high level. The day w hen it will be h ard for m any pur­ chasers to continue paym ents at the ra te contracted for is foreseen by conservative land dealers. War Bonds Preferred S ecretary of A griculture Claude R . W ickard has urged repeatedly farm ers who a re m aking m oney to p ay oif m ortgages and invest it in w ar bonds, ra th e r than in m ore land, if by doing so they bid up the price to a point w here it would be­ com e unprofitable to farm during pe­ riods of depression, especially if the buyer m ust give a heavy m ortgage. It is clear th at every farm er who so burdens him self w ith large in­ stallm ent paym ents w ill have to m eet the com petition of those who have paid off m ortgages out of the $34 billion incom e farm ers have re­ ceived in the last tw o years. D uring a trip I m ade through the M iddle W est and South last w inter I discovered th a t the m ost progres­ sive farm ers w ere very w ell aw are of this situation, w hich is happening In g reater or lesser degree in nearly every p a rt of the country. They w ere particularly resentful of th e m en w ho have had com paratively little experience in farm ing, but now see a chance to m ake a quick cleanup on high m arkets. N ot only do these new com ers pay too m uch for th eir land, but w ithout th e perspective of y ears of experi­ ence, pay m uch higher w ages to th eir help. This m akes it especially difficult for the experienced farm ­ ers to keep good farm hands, espe­ cially in the face of dem ands of selective service and the com pe­ tition of m unitions industries. The F a rm C redit adm inistration is doing w hat it can to re ta rd the pres­ ent tendency. Throughout the coun­ try it h as refused to m ake loans based on sales a t exorbitant prices. Its loan business has been greatly curtailed, and tenant farm ers con­ tem plating purchase are being ad­ vised to figure w ith g reat care w hat they can reasonably expect to earn on a farm over a period of years and to base their purchases on such calculations, ra th e r than on present com m odity prices. It has even been suggested that down paym ent of half of the price should be a legal requirem ent for any farm purchase.

Col. Frank Kurtz, Flying Fortress pilot, tells of that fatal day when the Japs struck in the Philippines. Eight of his men are killed fleeing for shelter and Old 99 is demolished before it can get off the ground. Kurtz escapes to Australia9 spends Christmas there, and then flies a Fortress to Java. On a mission to Davao In the Philippines their squadron hits a battleship, and sinks two cruisers and a transport. They take off from Malang Field for a target off Borneo, and fly through terrible fog for hoars. When they pull out of It they see a frightful black cloud which proves to bo smoke from burning Dutch oil fields in Borneo. Dutch had fired their fields. Q U E E N S D I E P R O U D L Y W.N.U.TEATURE* CH A PTER X “ I finally decide to give it th a t thousand, and if I get back, let them je rk the w reck and p u t in a new one. W ith th a t ex tra thou­ sand now, m aybe I can' get .over the target—w e’re about to begin our bom b runs—and bag a cruiser, w hich is a good trade for a ruined air­ plane m otor. “ Now w e’re approaching the ex­ act position of the targ et, and I be­ gin to realize the predicam ent I’m in. B ecause if I lose another m otor on the sam e side, I’ll have little chance of getting this plane hom e. ‘‘AU the tim e Jim ’s doing his best to stay w ith m e, but I continue to fall back. And ju st then H arris, m y bom bardier, peering down 1 through the broken overcast, calls ‘T arget ahead.' I ’m glued to the P D I needle now, but w hen m y bom bardier starts to m ake his ru n and the bom b-bay doors com e open, th e ir ex tra d rag on the a ir slows me dow n still m ore and I fall fu rth er behind Jim a s I trim the ship both to com pensate for those open doors and to keep the wing w hich c arries th at lim ping engine from falling. “Then over m y earphones Jim is calling: ‘Bom bs aw ay, F ran k —I’m turning off the targ et,’ and fa r ahead I can see the sun glint on his up- cocked wing as he heads for hom e. B ut I ’m still on the P D I needle, m y bom bardier has picked up a beautiful ta rg e t—a gang of trans­ ports and a cruiser down through the overcast, the sea is laced w ith their curving w akes a s they try to get aw ay—but he can’t seem to hold any one of them in his sights long enough to m ake a good run. “Finally H arris, in desperation, pleads over the interphones, ‘F rank, I just can’t hang onto th at cruiser— let’s turn east.’ “ ‘Can you just* hold it, F ran k ?’ pleads H arris over the interphones. ‘Ju st hold it, and w e’ll hang out one in ju st a second!’ “And then Jim Connally, ‘F or God’s sake, drop your bom bs and com e on, F ra n k !’ I can see Jim in the distance, getting sm aller and sm aller. “H arris, the bom bardier, peering down from the navigator’s com part­ m ent, couldn’t see anything w hen his bom b train h it the surface. B ut the tub gunner, peering straight down from the belly of the ship, sw ears h e saw one of them go sm ack down for a d irect h it on a Ja p cruiser. “W ith m y lim ping m otor, I could sit back and really begin to w orry. I tried to level off, but of course I couldn’t. I knew w e w ere som e­ w here over Borneo by now. The altim eter showed w e w ere 24,000 feet high, and in spite of everything I w as doing w e w ere dropping 100 feet low er every m inute. I thought of landing on the cam ouflaged field here on Borneo but w e m ight be too low even to bail out if w e nosed down through this dense w eather and couldn’t find the field a t once. “Now dropping 100 feet a m inute, if you can keep it from falling no faster than th at, a t the end of the first hour you’ll be down to 18,000; the second hour, 12,000; the third hour, 6,000. So you see how it is. ‘If you’ve got gas enough for four hours you’ve got barely enough altitude to m ake it back to Ja v a ,’ I argued w ith m yself. “ B ut it w as going to be tough on the other boys. W e’d been on oxy­ gen for four hours, and ordinarily after a fight in the high air, which is a strain on everyone, the first thing you do is bring h er down to 12,000 so everyone can take off his m ask and relax. Only I had to hang onto m y precious altitude, and it w ould be another tw o hours before w e had fluttered dow n to 12,000. "B ut it seem ed it w as th e only thing to do, so I told m y naviga­ tor, W alt Seam on, to set a course for M alang Field. Then it w as up to m e._ I tried every trick in the book and a few I ’d h eard of to keep th a t ra te of fall from rising, because if it w ent to 200 or 300 feet a m inute only for a few m inutes I knew w e’d lose the plane. The autom atic pilot w as out (a little gadget had busted, and of course w e had no spare p a rts), so m y co-pilot and I had to do all the flying, w orn-out as we w ere, but a t least w e didn’t have to keep stations on any other plane now , or have the nightm are of m aybe crash­ ing into som eone else. “T hen suddenly w e had a breath­ er, for th e clouds vanished behind us and w e w ere floating free out into the abyss of a cloud canyon— the sam e old one. P eering down, I seem ed to see the gray w isps of that canyon’s bottom practically trailing on the dull-green jungle-clad m oun­ tains fa r below. I doubt if there w as even a thousand feet of ceiling, so we kept on our course. W hen we finally cleared the w eather—we w ere out over the Ja v a Sea south of Borneo—w e w ere so fa r out th a t I realized w e’d passed the point of no return. The only w ay w e could go on now w as tow ards Jav a, which w as the n earest land. “ The field a t Surabaya w as a litfle closer than M alang, but I w as afraid of its short runw ay, so w ith w hat gas and altitude w e had left, we de­ cided to try for M alang, but a s we approached the m ountain pass we could see the w eather w as settling dow n tighter and tighter on us, and looking ahead, I got afraid th at w hen we got on up into the pass, the cloud ceUing m ight push us right down onto the pass floor, and I ’d spiU aU the boys out into a rice paddy in th a t fog. I could see the crew w as anxious, too. I hadn’t need­ ed to teU them m uch o f the fix we w ere in; they hadn’t m issed a trick. “ So then I took m y last decision. R ath er than nose on into th at pass and use up m y la st gas trying to see w hat the w eather there w as reaU y like (it turned out later it w as terrible), I turned and headed back tow ard Surabaya Field w hile I stiU had contact flying, and w hile I had gas and altitude enough to get (W hich means while uie could still see the ground.) “W hen I finally saw Surabaya Field we had less than 1,000 feet of altitude left and I didn’t d are think how little gas. So I didn’t try to circle—ju st dropped m y w heels, asked for the w ing flaps, and set h e r down on th a t short runw ay, and I got Col. E ubank on the telephone a t M alang. H e w as m ost anxious. could be thankful the Jap s had left m e m y hydrauH cs so th a t m y brakes would stop m e on th a t strip. “ We taxied into our revetm ent and I got Colonel E ubank on the tele­ phone a t M alang. H e w as m ost anxious; I w as the only one he’d heard from . I could only teU him w hat I thought w ere the results of th e m ission. It turned out la te r th a t the ether planes had aU com e down a t K eSdari and Sam arinda. “H e told m e to take m y crew and stay overnight a t the hotel in S urabaya and com e back to M alang the next m orning. It w as the first tim e w e’d seen the big beautiful sea­ p ort m etropolis of Jav a except from the air—m onths since w e’d seen any big city. H ere w ere stores, and glit­ tering bars, m ovie houses, and the picturesque natives and the D utch— a pageant of the F a r E ast. B ut we w ere tired beyond any w ords I have to teU, from those eleven and a half hours in the air. The longest m ission I’d ever flown. The m an­ ag er of this big hotel w anted to m ake a big occasion of it. It w as the first tim e they had seen the uni­ form s of those A m erican aviators who w ere going to save Jav a. B ut a fter w hat w e’d seen th a t day down through the m ist, I w asn’t so sure w e would do it. T here had to be m ore of us—and soon. So w e told him no, thanks, no party. W e aU w anted to tum ble into bed. We had an early alert scheduled to check the ship for our retu rn to M alang." • • . “W e soon got our first reinforce­ m ents," F ran k K urtz continued. “ They w ere F ortresses of the brand- new E m odel. W e’d heard them talked of in the States but I’d never seen one. T here w ere m any im ­ provem ents, b u t m ost vital of all w ere th e new ta il guns. The old D m odel w hich I flew had been al­ m ost defenseless th ere; if a Zero cam e in directly on your tail, you had to depend on the cross fire put out from the plane flying next you on your w ing. If you w ere alone you w ere a goner. “ The boys who flew these new E ’s w ere old friends of ours, the 7th B om bardm ent Group—friendly ri­ vals in the A ir Corps to our 19th G roup. W e’d com peted with them a t m aneuvers and in practice bom bing a t M uroc Lake back hom e. "B ut in Jan u ary the reinforce­ m ents w ere a little thin trickle of the thousand planes w e hoped for. Of course they w ere then terribly short of seasoned pilots, and often quickly trained kids w ere flying them , and cracking them up all across A frica and A sia. B ut it w as aU they h ad to send us. Som etim es sue would sta rt out from Tam pa Field and m aybe tw o would arrive a t M alang. D uring the whole m onth of Jan u ary w e got only half a dozen.” “ We w ere in the old 7th, whigh cam e out to reinforce you,” said M aster Sergeant C harles T. R eeves, the bom bardier. H e had been sit­ ting beside the pilot, under the plane’s wing. “So w as I,” said M aster Sergeant Row land A. Boone, the gunner, who sa t n ex t to him . “On the d ay of P e a rl H arbor, the 7th w as sitting on H am ilton Field, C aU fom ia-poised, w aiting for one new plane to com e off the Boeing assem bly line before we took off across the Pacific for M anila. Of course the big new s from H aw aii canceled th a t trip. W e’d have to go around the w orld another w ay. “ Then they put m e to w ork ferry­ ing E ’s from the factory to Sacra­ m ento,” continued the G unner. “ I w as picking them right off the as­ sem bly Une, tw o or three a day. It would have been w onderful if we could have had th a t m any in Jav a. B ut the bottleneck then w as pilots —the planes w ere aU stacked up w aiting for them , and no m a tte r how fa st you build F ortresses, you can’t je rk a kid out of a B eechcraft train­ er and put him in a Boeing. And by the w ay, w hen we got back to the States this sum m er, the bottleneck w as stiU pilots. They stiU had sev­ eral dozen E ’s stacked up on the factory field, w aiting for m en to fly them . “ I’ll never forget m y first look a t the E-m odel F ortress. She had th a t big dersal fin, and she looked a lot bigger—m ore deadly, too. B ecause not only w ere there tail guns, but m uch better side guns. And a whole stack of pow er tu rrets. On the old D m odel, the angle of Are from the radio guns and the beUy guns had been very smaU, but this w as corrected in th e E , and the top tu r­ re t w as a honey! “ It doesn’t h u rt to talk about the D m odel, because the enem y have captured plenty of them . It’s no m ore secret than the M odel T Ford. B ut in those days the E w as a sur­ prise package—like the new F m odel is now. “And when som ething is reaUy new, the com bat boys who have to take it up don’t w ant it blabbed around. F o r instance w hen we w ere stiU out E ast, a copy of a n A m eri­ can m agazine arrived w hich gave a com plete diagram of the E . It showed everything—the angle of fire of every gun, even the break in the fire angles for the propellers. T here w eren’t m any blind spots on the E w here an enem y fighter can sneak in, but this diagram showed every one. “ O ur gang talked over th at dam ned picture for days. ‘Holy Sm okes!’ w e said, ‘why don’t they give the Japanese a set of blue­ p rints!’ In addition, it showed the exact position of every m an on the plane, so the Jap s could w ork in through the blind spots and pick us off. “ It w as aU stuff w e knew the Japanese didn’t know, because aU the E ’s w e had lost up to then had either dropped in the ocean or burned after beaching. ‘M y God’ the other gunners said. ‘They’re seU- ing us out back hom e. They m ight ju st as weU take the guns off the plane and let the Jap s shoot us down!’ T hat picture knocked our m orale for days. “ B ut w hat the hell! Now the F m odel is out—nobody knows the ex­ act im provem ents on th at yet, and w hen the enem y fighters hit the F , they’U find out they’ve picked up a re a l hot potato.” “ Let’s get back to the trip over,” said the B om bardier. “In m y plane we left the States D ecem ber 28.

T h a t p u rp o se is to give tra c tio n . Because the traction bar is the source of pulling power of tractor tires, it is obvious that greater traction bar length gives greater traction. By the same token, a shortened traction bar design, such as the broken center, gives less traction. Firestone Ground Grip Tractor Tires provide up to 215 extra inches of traction bar length per tractor at no extra cost. And the bars are joined in the center to form a powerful, triple' braced, leakproof traction unit. That’s why farmers prefer tires built by Firestone, the pioneer and pacemaker in putting the farm on rubber. | G \ Listen to the Voice of Firestone with Richard Crooks andytbe Firestone Symphony Orchestra, under the direction _ a / cf Howard Barlottif Monday evenings, over N.

FA’eryone in knows incom cs. this community are higher than e v e r before— that both work­ ers and farm- ers have more cash than ever before. Every­ one knows that more than one m em ber of hun­ dreds of fam ­ ilies are income cnrners—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 m atter of fact you can’t afford NOT to Buy E xtra War Bonds. If you spend your money for needless, scarce goods, you are increasing prices . . . if you want to help win the w ar you can’t af­ ford NOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the service, you can’t afford NOT to buy Extra Bonds and if you want a gill-edged investm ent for your own future security, you can't afford NOT to buy Extra W ar Bonds. Don't just do the expected—buy All the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR. To t h e PeopCe crf this Community YOL ARE IMPORTANT There is no such thing as a ‘‘little" investment in the Fourth War Loan. Your $25 or $50 or $100 Extra W ar Bond m ay not have great im- portance in your mind in making up a 5% billion dollar to­ tal for individu­ als. But multiply yourself 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. M aurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the C arrier Wasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he re­gained consciousness, asked: “Did I do m y 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 W ar 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. “Lei's Keep Backing the Attack." THE EDITOR. To the People of this Community KILL OR BE KILLED United States M arines paid the stifilest price in human life - per square yard for the capture of Tarawa, vital Pacific outpost. It was kill or be killed. Your b o y i d id not flinch when they ra n in to th e deadliest fire ­power along the beaches of this im portant Gil­ bert Island stronghold. This assault, bloody and cost­ly, is one of the m any which m ust be made before Tokyo and Berlin are pounded into dust and ashes. What are you doing to back up the boys? Rem em ber 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 W ar Loan Shield proclaiming “We bought E xtra W ar Bonds” is not backing the attack. Every Extra War Bond you buy becomes a di­rect fighter against Japan and Ger­ many. If you could but see one man die on the battlefield, you would not count the cost of your slight sacrifices to buy E xtra War Bonds to make each succeeding as­ sault less costly in the lives of our boys. You can’t afford NOT to buy Ex­ tra Bonds in the 4th W ar Loan if you would help these boys. THE EDITOR.

G I’m oftentimes made to wonder just why men will live in sin aud wickedness, waste their precious and priceless time, neglect their golden and wonderful privileges In life, fail to repent of sin and be born of the blessed Holy Spirit, leave Christ out of their lives, then die and go to hell. Yes, I'm made to wonder. Think of it. Sinner, aren’t you mane to wonder too? I’m made to wonder why men will form bad and ruinous habits, destroy their God given health and strength, waste tbeir money, shor­ ten their lives, suffer many aches and pains as they go through life as a consequence, and make them, selves aged and haggard, whose fu­ ture outlook is dark and gloomy. Yes, I’m made to wonder. I’m made to wonder why men will merely eke out an existance with no aim, plan, purpose nor as­ piration higher than that of an an. imal, knowing that they have a soul that is prscious and priceless in the sight of God, and that God wants them to live righteously and holy, honor and glorify Him, bless the world and leave their mark be­ hind as a blessing. I’m made to wonder. I’m made to wonder why men will take the way that leads to death, hell and eternal despair, when God has faithfully warned them through His holy Word and by His ministers against such a course; and in the meantime has told them of tbe way that leads to everlasting life and a glorious Hea­ ven, and has appealed to them to travel this way. Why do they take the way of death, suffering, heartacnes, remorse, hell and dam­ nation instead of the wav of life, peace, joy and everlasting happi­ ness? I’m made so wonder. You can show a man wherein he is wrong, where he is loser in health loser of a long and useful life, los­ er of the finest and best opportuni- ties in life, and shall be loser of God’s best for time and eternity, ann yet he will turn away and go right on in the slavish service of sin and the devil, then lose all that is blessed for time and eternity. It is so strange so very strange, un til I’m made to wonder. Sinful man, sinful woman, aren’t you made to wonder at yourself? D>_n’t you wonder why you reject God and His warnings, turn away from God and the pathway heavenward, then go forth and serve the devil, your worst foe forever, with the awful tact before you that you are heltward bound. O, turn to God! This is life’s better way. W hat D id R oosevelt M ean? What did President Roosevelt mean when he said in his first cam­ paign that it is casting too much to run this government; I favor cut ting expenses 25 per cent* Then he said "if elected President I pro­ mise the American people I will make them the best President they ever ban.” (and it might be added, tbe last on.) I passed my judgment just as soon as the words came out of his month —T. B. Hogan, in Union Republican. An Indiana editor calls attention to tbe fact that while President Roosevelt is not the indispensable man for tbe nation be apparently is indispensable to the New Deal. V o tes W an ted , N ot F air­ n ess If the State Board of Elections wanted to keep its skirts clean and wanted to deal fair with tbe elec torate of North Carolina they would exercise more judgment and less bias in the appointment of election officials of the various counties of the state. But by their actions that is not what they desire. They want De mocrats elected everywhere and it takes votes to get them elected, so they plan in that direction rather than with a vision of fairness and honesty. In Wautauga county, for in­ stance there was a stink two years ago that smelled from one of the State to the other—a stink caused by unfairness on the part of Demo cratic election officials and which was proved by investigation. Re­ membering this good citizens of Watauga county asked the State Board of election officials and which was ptoved by investigation. Re­ membering this good citizen of Watauga county asked the State Board of elections to appoint new members of the county Board of Elections this ye'ar and at least give them a start that was untainted by former actions. But Col. Joyner, Chairman of tbe S.ate Board turu ed a deaf ear and appointed the old board, stink and all. Dr. A. P. Kephart, notni"ee of Republicans for Congress two years ago, and who withdrew in defer­ ence to Rep. Bob Doughton in a patriotic gesture, comes out with a statement blistering Col. Joyner and the State Board of Elections fot their boldness in appointing the same old board, and says it means that the corruption, violence and sordid conditions’’ will iemain in Watauga county so long as it is conditioned with such actions of the state board. The state board even turned a deaf ear to a delegation of Watauga citizens who asked for a change in tbe local board. Wbat tbe State board wants Is votes ana get them as they can, fair or unfair, stink or no strink, and this proven in the Watauga case.—Yadkinville Ripple.

If my soldiers were taken pri. soner, I would see that he good ex­ tra foods, warm clothing and need, ed medicides. If he were wounded I would furnish my blo„d to save his life, and surgical dressing to bind his wounds. I would be beside him in the hospital to give him comfort and make tbe hours less long.

No waiters. No cashier. No nothing. Please pay when served.” WITH WAR BONDS P atton F avors V o te O n L iquor Morganton,-Frank C. Patton, Republican candidate for Governor, declared himself in favor of a state, wide liquor referendum, an issue on which be said tbe two leading can didates for the Democratic guber­ natorial nomination had nominat­ ed a “sphinxlike silence.” The Morganton attorney, nomi. nated by tbe recent Republican State convention, declared he sup. ported his party’s platform stand for a referendum, and promised if elected Governor to seek passage of a law to let the people pass on “this vital moral issue ” He added that tbe Democratic platform is silent on the liquor question. Patton, former U. S. district at torney. set forth in views in the following statement; “The question a statewide refer, endum on the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor is agitating tbe minds of many thousands of our people. The Democratic plat- platform is silent on the many thousands of our people. The De­ mocratic platform is silent on this question. So far the two leading candidates for the nomination for Governor in the Democratic pri­ mary have maintained a sphinx- like silence as to their position. “My party in its platform adopt ed at the State convention declared for a statewide referendum on the manufacture and sale of intoxicat ing liquors, to determine the wish es of the majority of the people of the state. I favored tbe adoption of this plank, and if elected Governor will seek tbe passage of a law giv­ ing to the people the right to ex­ press tbeir opinion on this vital moral issue.” W hat C an I D o? As I sit in my cosy corner And dream of the days to be, I ask myself the question, Wbat will they mean fo me? Some men are bravely fighting For Freedom and for peace. White some are idly waiting For tula dreadful war to cease. Some men are cold and hungry While I am snug and warm. Wbat can I do to help them And shield them from all harm? I cannot fight in battle Or nurse the wounded man. But I can find some other place And do the best I can. I can give my time and talent Whatever it may be. And not think of self or plaasure Till the future I can see, I can trust in the Eternal And pray for wars to cease. And hope that in the future This will be a world at peace Theabove poem was written by Miss Ruth Booe, a member of the Mocksville Home Demonstration Club and Davie County Council, at the request of Mrs. Esther Willis, Southwestern District Agent.

CIO C ondem ns Its O w n W ounded S on s TheVirgiuia C I. 0. conven­ tion invited three Purple Heart soldiers, themselves C. I O. ad. tieients, to make addresses to etn- phas’ze the all-out effort of this la­ bor organization in the winning of the war. . They were three national heoroes. One of them a sailor whose ship was mined in tbe Mediterranean, another a sailor who was rescued after his warship bad been torpedo­ ed, and the Uher a soldier who had survived machine gun and mortar shell fire at Salerno. It was to be an impressive de­ monstration for the C. I. O. work­ ers on the home front as they beard these three of their own boys whoop it up for their industry and patrio­ tism. The convention adjourned to the city auditorium and the public was invited. But the three servicemen, seared and scarred by the wounds of the war at the front, dropped a bomb­ shell into the ranks of the C. I. O members instead of rhapsodizing their loyalty. In effect they said, according to Danville correspondence to The Greensboro News, that foxhole soldiers never worry about time and a half over time, that there is no ab­ senteeism when they are called to the front when ctoss barrages of lethal death are laid against them Nor, they said, is the war post­ poned when somebody has a head­ ache. Other strictures they utter­ ed—these C. I. O. boys to tbeir 'nomefront C. I. O. workers in safe, secure and highly paid places—with a veiled sarcasm and sharpness of tongue that produced a general squirm in the audience. Were they applauded? Did tbe C. I. 0. working dele­ gates rise to tbeir feet and make tbe rafters shake with their appre- preciation of tbe patriotism of these broken, wounded lads from the home—these boys from tbeir own ranks? Not at all! Instead a resolntion was present­ ed to and adopted by tbe conven­ tion CONDEMNING T H E THREE PURPLE HEART MEN WHO HAVE POURED OUT THIER LIFE BLOOD FOR THEIR COUNTRY for having made such "antilabor” remarks. One can only ask if tbe attitude of the C. I. O. in Virginia, as ty­ pified by delegates to the Danville convention, represents that of the National organization? Does it characterize the spirit of the C. I. 0. organization members in North Carolina? Would there here in our own State have thus humiliated and scorned and condemned service men who went to war from tbeir own union affiliations and who had come back bearing in their bodies the scars of bitter wounds because, for­ sooth,' they might have bad the courage to criticize tbe laxities of their own union membeis'engaged in war industries on the secured and sheltered home front?—Char­ lotte Observer.

He can’t go fishing, he can’t go hunting, can’t visit friends, can’t renew himself by trips to the country. He may well doubt our interest in him when he sees countless civilians and public officials allowed ample gas rations because of their “essential' activity.

I remember you were the first cus­ tomer to buy a loaf of bread baked in a bakery shop in Mocksville. That was over 17 years ago. My, how the years do speed by. I get your paper every week. A few weeks ago I sent for a sample copy. I got the paper and I knew lots of names in there. I took the paper down to the big bomber mo­ difying station where we work. I got to talking with different ones and of course bragging a little a- bout my travels, and I mentioned that Tbe Record came from the “Sunny” South. One fellow ask­ ed what part of the South, and I answered NortU Carolina He ask­ ed what town, and I said Mocks- ville. And to my surprise he said, ‘‘That is my home .town.” Tbis man’s name is John Whittaker. I asked him why he didn’t subscribe for the paper, and he said he would and he did Tbe world is rather small after all. He mentioned how our customs are different from down South. You say poke for bag down there, and up here the people don’t know what a poke is. This Rev. Walter Isenhour, of Hiddenite, N.

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE, N. C. L e t's F a c e F a c ts British Farm Leaders Give Sense of Nearness To Vicissitudes of War By BARROW LYONS WNU Sfoff Correspondent r’m B arrow Lyons W ASHINGTON, D . C. ; One gets a little closer to the w ar When one talks w ith a B ritish farm ­ er, who has been cultivating fields under the w ings of N azi planes, who can’t light a lam p w ithout being sure th a t no gleam shows through the window shades, and who m ust use all the ingenuity known to science to g et the m ost from his acres to feed th e w orkers and fighting m en of B ritain. Such a farm er is E pbert R ae, the new agricultural attache to the B rit­ ish em bassy in W ashington, who ju st arrived from the U niversity of R eading in E ng­ land, w here he w as professor of agriculture. H e also m anaged an experim ental farm w hich has pointed the w ay to w a rd larger crops in B ritain. “ I’ve only just arrived—still in a stage of schoolboy w onder at being able to turn on the lights w ithout pulling down the blinds,” he told a group of W ashing­ ton correspondents a t a joint inter­ view w ith Jam es A. Scott W atson, who has been recalled to E ngland and whom M r. R ae is replacing. The talk w ith these m en rem inded the A m erican w riters th at farm ers of E ngland a re allies of our own farm ers in supporting the greatest m ilitary effort m an has ever m ade —the defense of the dem ocratic w orld against forces which would destroy it. M r. Scott W atson has been here two years, chiefly to help get for B ritish farm ers A m erican farm m achinery and adopt the best of our farm ing m ethods. Likes TVA Superphosphate Incidentally, M r. Scott W atson had strong praise for the Tennessee ,Valley authority’s concentrated su­ perphosphate, w hich has been shipped to E ngland in considerable quantities. The TVA superphosphate h as been available to our own farm ­ ers in lim ited quantities, because of our large supply of low er concen­ trates, and the necessity for con­ serving ocean shipping space. M r. R ae said th a t in spite of Eng­ land’s usually dam p clim ate, this w inter has been abnorm ally dry, foreboding an inadequate w ater sup­ ply this sum m er. One result, how­ ever, w as th at spring plowing and planting w as m uch ahead of sched­ ule. Before the w ar, he said, E ngland produced only 34 per cent of its food supply, but now produces 70 p er cent. Reduction of food con­ sum ption by about 10 per cent has contributed to this increase, but ac­ tual food production has been al­ m ost doubled. T here has been no slackening in the food program , and the m inistry of agriculture plans to m aintain p resent operating schedules for an­ other four years—through 1947. E ng­ land recognizes th a t if victory com es this year, the need for food on the continent will be trem endous for a year-and-a-half to tw o years after th e fighting stops. M r. R ae thought that the need for A m erican agricultural m achinery would be very m uch less from now on. Som e form s of tracto rs will still be needed for replacem ents, but vir­ tually all of the areable acreage is now under m echanical cultivation, he said. D uring the last two years E ngland h as used a considerable am ount of soldier labor, particularly for h ar­ vesting crops; but w ith invasion un­ der w ay this labor will not be avail­ able. H e said: “ We expect our biggest headache this y ear will be in getting harvest labor. If we can’t get a little m ore com bine equipm ent, there will be a w aste of grain.” L a r g e Stockpile of Food T here is a considerable food stock­ pile in England, he said, but this is considered m inim um insurance. If the invasion of the continent is successful, som e of this will be used for feeding destitute populations. “W e can’t sit back as long as there is an acute shortage of food on the continent,” he added. M r. Scott !W atson put in a word a t this point: “All of our friends from England who com e over here seem to have 'a craving for your citrus fruit. They apparently have felt the lack of or­ anges, grapefruit and lem ons m ore .than m eat. Of course, there will be a trem endous pent-up dem and, for citrus fruit as soon as we can get the ships to m ove it. It’s no ,m ilitary secret th a t all of the ships th at can be spared are now being !held in readiness for invasion.” I Both B ritons cited exam ples of exchange of technical inform ation, which w as enabling English and .A m erican farm ers to raise larg er 'and better crops. The visitors also thought th at A m erican agricultural econom ists w ere getting from Eng­ land som e good points regarding farm tenancy. English law s pro­ vide a far greater sense of security for tenant farm ers, and assure to ,them full benefit of im provem ents they m ake in building up the soil !and facilities of owners. Eventu- i ally this w ill be reflected in Ameri- lean te^ant-ow ner relations.

We are just wondering if Gregg Cherry promised any jobs to Davie county Democrats? Whal happened to our old friend Giles Yeomans Newton in the late primary? He was running for U. S. Senator, we thought. We are glad the county commis­ sioners lowered the tax rate, even if it is election year. The Repub­ licans may be able to lower it to 50 cents next year. We wonder bow Cameron Mor­ rison feels today. Guess he is re­ minded of the "Red Shirt” days some 50 years ago. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." We were out in the country the other day looking around to ascer­ tain the exact shortage of the black­ berry crop, and are glad to report that while the briars are not so full as heretofore, there seems to be more briars. If we can stand the strain until the crop begins to rip en, we will he able to face our cred. itors with a smile. From present ind"ations Davie county will have a pretty good crop of fruit this summer. The cold weather damaged the peach M ock sville Soldier M iss­ in g Mrs. J . F.

The episode is most regrettable from the standpoint of the admin, istration because tbe attorney.gen eral's opinion is worded so as to endeavor to establish the supreme right of the President to act as die. tator.

S. Navy was announced yesterday by Lt. Cmdr. C. B. Neely of Raleigh of­ ficer in charge of rncruiting and in­ duction for North Carolina. Under the new quota, Commander Neely said, a maximum number of only 100 youths will be accepted weekly for at least the next three weeks. The quota was set by tbe Bureau of Naval Personnel but no indication was given as to whether the restriction would extend beyond the three-week period. Although the usual number of weekly enlistments exceeds the limit now placed upon the North Carolina district, we have no alternative but to pare our list of acceptable boys,” Commander Neely said. Those who are nearing their eighteenth birthdays, at which time they will have to register with selec­tive service and thus come under1 draft regulations, should see their I Navy recruiter immediately. It will be necessary for a number of boys to wait until such time as quota) limitations wilt permit their enlist­ment. Recruiters throughout the state will continue to accept applications from all 17-year-old boys interested I in joining the Naw. At present we j have no idea as to how long the pre-i sent quota will remain in effect.” ' i o n D avie B oy M akes G ood J o t F e rih e t. C o m o a n y C om - in :,n d er of C am p W a rd .

Now that schools are let­ ting out and the y o ungsters find themselves w ith tim e on th eir hands, a celebra­ tion ot their own may be just the thing to fill in their odd moments. Even if the children are younger, they can get a lot of satisfaction maneuvering their own party. Let them do it for it helps them develop imagination, encourages thinking for themselves and teaches them socia­ bility while they are still young. Make it as easy, as possible for them; in other words, keep them free of worries about table cloth, plates and napkins. Furnish paper ones if the occasion warrants. Older children, of course, can take care of even the better dishes. Mother can take care of the main food and supervise the serving if necessary. Sandw iches, cooling drinks, appetite-tempting dessert are popular with the younger set. Save Dsed Fatsl Hot Ham Sandwiches.

Farm Income Rose 23% Last Year Over 1942 Livestock, Oil Crops Made Largest Gains Another good year for fafm In4 come from marketings appears to be in prospect for American farm­ ers. Returns in 1943 were 23 per cent greater than in 1942, according to reports from the' U. S. depart­ ment of agriculture, and a contin­ ued peak demand for crops and live­ stock may be anticipated. Livestock was responsible for last year’s marked upswing, figures show, returning $11,189,000,000 out of the total income of $19,092,000,000 from farm marketings. Crops brought in $7,815,000,000. The live­ stock break-down shows a total of $5,953,000,000 received by farmers for meat animals, $2,705,000,000 for dairy products, and $2,322,000,000 for poultry and eggs. Gain of 40 Per Cent in South. Income from livestock as a whole showed a 20 per cent increase in the Western region, and a 40 per cent rise in the South Atlantic re­ gion. In Georgia poultry and egg returns were nearly twice the 1942 figure, and in Delaware they went up 87 per cent. The South Atlantic region reported a 70 per cent in­ crease in.income from poultry and eggs. Receipts from hogs were high in all sections, with the West North Central region reporting an increase of 41 per cent and the state of Iowa an increase of 39 per cent. Income from feed grains and hay went up 38 per cent over 1942, with receipts for 1943 totalling $1,114,000,- 000 compared with $815,000,000 in 1942. Striking, gains were reported for the oil crops, with an income of more than three times the 1942 figure reported in the North Atlantic and South Central regions. The income from oil-bearing crops for the Unit­ ed States as a whole was $611,233,- 000, compared with $468,000,000 in 1942. Peanut income in Texas was some six times the 1942 return, and soybeans brought in 12 times as much. Income from vegetables and truck crops increased in all regions with the largest percentage shown in the South Atlantic region where an in­ crease of 52 per cent was reported. m et 'OtMtoR tWlBtl ipoi Mlplflfl •• IflfltflflM NfOMfl trNiouoi.' Don’t Skimp on Milk in Feeding Young Calves Calves raised In a market milk area often receive a limited amount of whole milk. This :is all right, ac­ cording to Dr. Olin L- Lepard, as­ sistant professor of dairy husbandry at Rutgers university, provided you don’t skimp to the point where it will be harmful to the young ani­ mals. And that is apt to happen in times of a scarcity of fluid milk. ‘‘We must remember that even though a calf has four stomachs, the one which is able to change coarse food, such as roughage and grain, into easily digested material does not function early in life,” Dr. Lep- ard reminds dairymen. ‘‘The calf really is working on three cylin­ ders, so to speak. Benefits which a calf receives from whole milk dur­ ing the first four weeks before its rumen is able to function fully in­ clude an extra supply of !.vitamins, especially A, a very'digestible1 type of protein, an, ideal source* of energy and a. real allotment. «tf minerals. ., ‘‘The amount of milk needed varies. eonsiderably, but it'is- safe to say that most Calves should receive at Ieast SOO to 400 pounds of whole milk during 'the first two months. After this time,’ they'cbn very safely and Uiorer economically be fed ' on dry feed And a good quality roughage.” Com Are Kept on Three” Outiof Four V. S.

To the People of this Community YOU CAN AFFORD IT You can afford to buy Extra War Bonds during this Fourth War Loan Drive. Everyone in this community knows incomes are higher than ever before— that both work­ers and farm* ers have more cash than ever before. Every­one knows that more than one member of hun­dreds of fam­ilies 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 Bonds. If you spend your money for needless, scarce goods, you are increasing prices . . . if you want to help win the war you can’t af­ford NOT to buy War Bonds. If you want to help that boy in the serv;eo. you can’t afford NOT to buy E^tra 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 AU the Bonds you can. THE EDITOR. To the People of 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 5% billion dollar to­tal for individu­als. But multiply y o u rs e li 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 the stiffest 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 fire­power along the beaches of this important Gil­b e rt IsIancK' stronghold.This assault, bloody and cost* ly, 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, 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 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 U 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. That’s when our soldiers must un­ roll these “steel mattresses,” as you see them in this photo. Your War Bonds pay for them. V. t.
