Cass Cook, of Jetersvllle, Va., writes: “ Dear Bro. lsenhour: —I will be 75 years old the 4th of July, and although I have never had the privilege of meeting you, but since reading your messages in the Union Republican about a year and a half, I feel as if I had been acquainted with you. I regret I have not been reading the paper the thirty years you have been con tributing to it, and I feel like I want you to start all over again. I think if we bad meu in Washing ton for our leaders like you, we woulk not have been in this life and deafh struggle we are now in. I have a son, three grandsons and a nephew in this war, and I want you to pray for them that they may not be murdered. Also pray for me. You will Gnd ten dollars enclosed, for which send me Gve of your books. ‘Messages to Young People,’ and keep the balance for your work.!’ Mr. Cook, your good words are highly appreciated, also the ten dollars you enclosed. May our blessed Lord reward you gracious ly. I am sorry, however, I do not have the books you ordered, as my supoly of "Messages to Young People” is entirely sold out. How ever. I still have a few copies of my large book of poems, “ Poetry of Life,” on band yet, and shall be glad to send you these at a dollar per copy, and to any of my read ers as long as they last. I’m sav ing money with which to have my book pnblisbed entitled, “ Lost Gems of the American People.” I shall be glad to receive any help my readers may give me Gnancially toward the publication of the book. The Grst thousand copies will cost about £290.0 0 . Please join me in prayer that the right amount may be received for its publication. I usually make very little more than expenses out of my books, as I give many of them away, and then contribute to worthy causes out of their sales. My great desire is to do all the good I possibly can, and by giving my country something to read that is clean and whole some I feel that it is indeed worth while. It will be 30 years in July since my department, "The Quiet Corner,” was started, It has been read by many, many thousands ot people across the years, and I hope to meet a vast host of them in hea- zen some sweet day. My friends among mv readers number thous ands. By their prayers and contri butions and encouraging communi cations through the years I have been enabled to go forward ior God and native land. Praise God. Millions of Democrats, in an effort to regain control of their party, have indicated that they are ready to join with Republicans in this year’e elec tions in order to achieve the objec tive of ousting the New Deal. 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 country 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. Democrat Qoits New Deal Party R. S. Foley, of Stoneville, large furniture manufacturer and one of the best known business msn of that section of the state, has given up on President Roosevelt and his New Deal rule of reckless waste. Tired of being shoved abont, regi mented, Gnger.printed and told bow to conduct his own business, he has left the Democratic party and gone ‘all-out’ into the Republican ranks. Mr. Folev gives his rfeasons for becoming a Republican as follows: 1. The Democratic party has been taken over by the New Deal party, and is no longer the party of Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jack son, or the great idealist, Wood, row Wilson. 2. Socialism, paternalism and the numerons other isms, which have ruined most of the older na tions of the world, are the ideolo gies of those who now gnide and control the Drmocratic party, or rather, the New Deal party. 3. The Democratic party has be come the party of broken promises, pretenses and subterfuges. 4. The Democratic party in its lust for votes, has compromised it self and made a hollow mockery of its boast of "A white man’s party.” 5 . Furthermore, the Democratic party has arrayed class against class, race against race, nation a- gainst nation, working men against emplorers,and labor against capital. 6. The Democratic party cod dles orgauized labor, encourages strikes and strangles legitimate bu siness. 7. The Democratic paTty has turned its back on the time-honor ed principle of “Economy in Gov ernment,” and has taken unto it self the habits and practices of the spendthrift and the wastrel. Even before we got into war, statesmen like Senator Tosiah Bailey were warning the people tbnt ‘‘New Dealers” had alteady knocked the bung out of the treasury barrel, and that the bottom was in sight. 7. Nobody in authority now, in the stress of war, seems to kuow ot to care how far our nation goes in to debt. Bureaucracy flourishes and extravagance runs wild. Accord ing to one authority, the Demo cratic party has on its payroll more than 2,000 bureaus, agencies and commissions 9. The Democratic party is no longer opposed to special privileges, but is the champion exponent of boondoggling and the chief propo. nent of monopolies, combines, regi mentation and "the big stick.” 10. Tbe Democratic party has put a premium on idleness, killed pride in the hearts of men and wo men, ercourages greediness and re. versed the conditions of the para, ble of the talents. it. TheDemocratic party has robbed us of our freedoms, destroy, ed our initiative and seif respect, and all but taken away our faith in the fundamental of “the Ameri- ran way of Life.” 12. The Democratic party pre tends to be the triend of the farm er, hut it is, in truth, bis worst en emy. The bright boys of the New Deal, headed by the present Vice President, Henry A. Wallace, evol ved a new principle of economics, "Abundance through scarcity,” which embraced the murdering and burying of little pigs, and the plow ing under of food crops. 13. The Democratic party, un der President Roosevelt, has flout, ed and disregarded the Constitution of the United States, which we hold to be the greatest document ever penned by freedom-loving men and under which, this country has grown to be great and prosperous. 14. I am sick and tired of be ing shoved around, regimented, controlled and regulated bv the leaders of a party, which, still sail, ing under the name and colors of the Democratic party, have absorb ed all the false philosophies and foul odors of the nations of the world which have already forgot, ten God. Some oue asked me which I would prefer, going back to the ci ndltions which existed In everv line of business in 1930 32, when Mr. Roosevelt took charge as Pres ident of the United States, which is a fair question, and I shall an swer it sincerely. Yes, I would prefer wbat we had when Mr. Roosevelt took charge to wbat we have now, and I am not referring to the War part. Then we had distress, but we bad our rights; we had our liberty, our self respect, we had our initia tive, we had self confidence, we had faith in onr Government and faith ip our ability to come out of# the depression. “ We did not have verdotten signs at every turn.” We had not been finger-printed, numbered and regimented. We bad not been told where we could work, when we could work, how long we could work, and for what salary w.e could work. We had not been told what we could plant, how much of the crop we could harvest, where we could sell it and for wbat price we could sell it. We had not been told wbat we could buy, when we could buy it, and where we could buy it. Back in the days of Freedom, prior to the New Deal Administra tion, business men were not taken from their offices and put into the street by order of the President. Then we were individually bur dened with debts, but now look at what we are collectively burdened with, and In addition to that we have all these bureaus to contend with. Yes, I wonld prefer the system that allowed me to buy what I did not have the money to pay for, rather than the system that forbids me to buy that for which I do have the money to pay. I object to re gimentation, object to being ruled by a bunch of fan-tailed theorists, who aTe attacking everything that has made America great—even the geography, the calendar, the clock, and the unchangeable law of sup ply and demand. Tt is easy to re build our lost fortunes, but liber ties and human rights once taken away are not easily recaptured. And I do not know the tune to “ Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” Purge Needed The Democratic Party must be purged of the New Deal to save it from defeat In November, accord ing to John U. Barr, of New Or leans, national chairman 0 f the Draft-Byrd-for President Commit tee. Following conferences with De mocratic leaders in several South ern States, Mr. Barr declared: “There is no question but that the SoDthern Democrats definitely want a return to the Democratic Party of pre-New Deal days. Hundreds of thousands of Democrats o f th e North will desert the Democratic PBrty and tip the scales in favor Re publican Party unless we unify our ranks by puaging the New Deal Few people realize that a switch over of 1,000,000 votes in the North dooms nur party to certain defeat. This is how precarious our position is.” Add this to your collection of New Deal definitions: A consultant is a man who knows less about your busi ness than you do and get paid more for telling you how to run it than you couid possibly make out of it even if you ran it right instead of the way he told yon. What’s Fair About Tliat? Recently the Dallas News insert ed in its own paper the following classified advertisement: “ WANT ED—Colored man to work at night as paper handler. Essential Indus try.” Can anyone see anything objec tionable In the wording of the no. tice? Well, Mr. Leonard M. Brin regional director of the President’s Fair Employment Practice Com mittee, felt he had to justify his salary of $4,800, and evidently hav ing nothing better to do dictated the following letter to one of his five assistants in the Dallas regional office and bad it dispatched to The News: “The Committee on Fair Em ployment Practice, operating under executive Order No. 9346 , a copy of which is attached, considers that snch advertising is in violation of tbe order It limits applicants to to the narrow field described In the advertisement a n d automatically bars persons of other race or color from applving, even tho these lat ter may also posses skills needed oy your establishment. “ You are therefore requested to take immediate steps to remove from this and from any other ad. vertlsement for employees any fea. tures which are discriminatory as to race, creed, color, or national origin al origin. You are further request ed to advise your personnel official or hiring agent that they should disregard such speciafications when considering applicants for employ ment. This includes the United States Employment Service. “The need for using all available men and women power during war time is great, and becoming greater. By planning along practical lines we believe that there shonld be no dif ficulty in utilizing workers on tbe basis of their skills, or adaptability to training, and we believe that you are willing and anxions to assist in the furtherance of this in the inter est of the-total war effort offort.” Evidently Mr. Brin is trying to raise a race 01 color issue where none exists. Most newpapers have rules requiting that help wanted ads be specific in order to save job. hunters as much time and trouble as possible. Hunting a job is tbe hardest work any man does even under favorable conditions, and it helps a lot if he knows exactly what the employer is looking for. There is hardly a business. There is hardly a business in the South excepting the smallest, which does not employ colored people in some copacities, and if an employer wants a colored paper handler, a colored cashier or a colored cook, a Chinese lanndryman or a Jap valet, it is bet ter to say and save all others the trouble of applying for the job If that is the best the F. E. P. C. can do with its huge appropriation, the country will be better off if its more than 100 employees drawing salaries from $10,000 a year on down, went into some useful war work or joined the armed services. —Statesville Daily. The Record only $1.00. Heavy Loss On Eggs The War Food Administration’s regional office in Chicago sold sev enty carloads of eggs tu feed mix ers for conversion into animal pro tein (feed. Purchased at W FA’s egg market support price the sev. enty carloads, according to a news paper dispatch, represented aa in vestment of $340,000 and were sold for $2,100. so WFA teok a loss of $£38,100. It's high time that tbe hens on America's farms declare a strike, or receive instructions via a New Deal directive to discontinue production. An X mark after your ' name means yon owe us.

They now realize individually, that the time-worn phrase, “Constitu tional government.” is the antithe sis of the New Deal policy that fa. vors government by men rather than government by law; regula. tion of pub'ic and private affairs by executive orders and fantasti cally conceived “directives” rather than by Congressional enactments; and irresponsible expenditures of unlimited public funds by imprac tical and visionary executives who ignore or contravene statute re quirements and the will of the peo ple.

Vegetable Piepacation and Processing(See Directions Below) ■' Home-grown vegetables are be ta push their way out of the soil in your own Victory gardens. Perhaps, at first, you will be so de lighted that you will want them all for the table, but soon will come the' realiza tin that you can “put up” most of f n r points for next winter if you o n them now. Because pressure cookers are un- sstiened this year, most homemak- ess trill use them for processing !vegetables. That is all to the good, fiie use of the pressure cooker lasts down processing time, and in- !motes more success in canning if Igroperty used. Non-Acid Vegetables. Before getting into the fundamen- M s of canning, we must understand (As difference between acid and non- ;3kk1 vegetables. Tomatoes are in Ifite acid group, but the others, green Seans, com, peas, etc., are all non- jaefri, and require processing under ijpessure so that they will keep. Fresh Vegetables. Selection of the vegetable for can ning is one of the important steps. i'Xca will be much more careful of what vegetables you put up, if you ISKaember these two points: £. You get out of your can only what you put into it, i. e., if you can os old, withered ear of com, then AaVs what you’ll have when you open the jar. 2. Canning, at best, does not im prove your food; it only preserves SiL Save Used Fatsl Short Route to Jar. Another old maxim that comes in Sandy during canning time is the aee which goes, “two hours from garden to can.” That means that yea pick the vegetables from your garden and start canning immedi ately. If you buy vegetables, get to the atarket early, and select those that aome in fresh in the morning. Take them home and get them started on their way to the jar as fast as pos- Incidentally, if yru are using your own Victory garden as a supply Sase for canning 'vegetables, be aare to pick them Si die morning while the morn- Sig dew is still oa them. Picking them later in the day, after the sun has dried out mane of their natural moisture, will act give nearly as good results. Preparation Required. I. It’s a good idea to wash jars Srst In hot soapy suds and check Ihran for nicks and cracks. AU canning equipment may be prepared a day ahead to have everything in seadSoiess when canning actuaUy be- 2. Prepare vegetable as directed Al chart above. In many cases pre cooking is recommended to shrink the vegetable and set the color. Lynn Says: Are you perplexed as to how !Smany jars *you should have for ,tfcanning? How much wUl the ISvegetable make when “put up?” IjHere are some guides: I Asparagus—12 pounds yields 6 n pints “stalk,” or 2 pints “cut.” I Beets—I bushel makes 40 pint J jars, cut in thin slices. I Corn—100 ears of Golden Ban- I tarn yields about 14 pints. I Greens — I bushel spinach I yields 13 pint jars. I Dandelion greens — I bushel !yields 15 pint jars, j String beans—I bushel yields 17 I to 20 quarts. * Tomatoes—I bushel yields 16 to S 20 quarts. 3. As soon as vegetable is pre pared, get into the jar as soon as possible, otherwise flat sour may develop. Packing Vegetable, 4. Most vegetables are packed to within one-half inch of the top of the jar. Exceptions to this rule are corn, peas and lima beans. 5.' Liquid in which vegetable was precooked may be added to the jar except in the case of strong Uquids such as spinach and greens. Before Processing. 6. Wipe top of jar before placing on Ud. Use manufacturers’ direc tion in this case, as aU Uds differ and your manufacturer knows what kind of tightening is necessary. Save Used Fats! Processing. 7. Process vegetable, using time table given above. In using the pressure cooker, aUow steam to escape for 7 to 10 minutes before closing petcock. AUow pressure gauge to come up to desired tem perature before starting to count processing time. When processing time is over, re move cooker from range, then let pressure gauge come back to zero before opening. Storage Tips. 8. Remove jars from cooker and lay on several thicknesses of cloth or paper. Do not tighten lid unless so directed by the manufacturer of the jar. Some jars should not be inverted. Here again, consult your individual directidns. 9. Store in a cool, dark place. Make sure the jars are not in a draft. Use of Vegetables. Before tasting or using any home- canned vegetables, boil them in an open vessel for 10 minutes. This wiU kiU any of the toxins which may have formed in the jars. Non-dieting friends wUl like this: Cbocolate Chip Pie. I baked pie sheU I tablespoon unflavored gelatin 54 cup cold water 154 cups milk 3 'egg yolks Yt cup sugar Ya teaspoon salt 54 teaspoon nutmeg Yt teaspoon vanilla 3 egg whites 3 tablespoons sugar Soak gelatin in cold water.

Clarke Bedford, Chairman of the Petroleum Industry Committee on Rationing for District One, Compris- ng Atlantic Seabord states, said to day, pointing out the significance of Petroleum Administrator Ickes' or der cutting premium gasoline about 1 per cent forthcoming months. Bedford pointed out that “this gasoline is a significant indication of the tremendous demands of the arm ed forces for gasoline. A vital war product, premium gasoline is re quired by tanks and other mobile equipment used by the army. The American motorist is undoubtedly more than willing to make this war time sacrifice by switching to regu lar grade and releasing equivalent supplies of tetra-ethyl lead to the armed forces.” He aiso said, "It is imperative for the motorist to do even more—and that is, to confine his driving to the coupons issued to him by the ration board and the re- by kill the black market operations in gasoline coupons which are actual ly diverting to the chiselers gasoline needed for necessary war workers ” He urged motorists to follow the petroleum industry’s four-Doint anti black market program. The points direct car owners to: 1 Apply only for rations needed for essential driving. 2 Write license numbers and state on the face of each ration couppon. 3 Refuse gasoline without sur- ren erinsr couDons. 4 Refuse to buy or accept gaso line coupons from others. wMy boy is home again!” THERE’LL be no empty place at the table tonight . . . no extra slices on the plate when Mom gets through serving the apple pie.

C. Let's Face Facts intelligent Defense Required to Maintain Parity Price Standard By BARROW LYONS — WNU Staff Correspondent' — J l 1 Barrow Lyons WASHINGTON, D. C.— Anyone who thinks that we can have perpetual prosperity without cooperative plan ning for it, more than we have in the p a s t, is dreaming. I come back to the pro posal I made last week: we must adopt a concept of parity income, which includes all segments of our economic lif e , and find a way to balance the dis tribution of national income so that all can prosper, if we wish to pros per ourselves. This is not the Gold en Rule, but a hard-headed, prac tical concept of our modern economy. Let us test this against the con cept of parity prices which has be come a symbol of justice to the farmer. Parity prices are attained when a given amount of farm produce—say a bushel of corn—will bring to the farmer enough money to buy the same things that a bushel of com would enable him to buy in the five-year period 1909-1914. Parity price does not guarantee a good crop or a good demand for the crop. It merely guarantees the purchasing power of the farmer’9 dollar. When the war ends and millions of war workers lose their jobs mak ing planes, tanks, guns and ships— and millions of servicemen begin to seek 'new jobs—mass purchasing power will depend upon how much employment there is. In all proba bility not only will industrial work ers have less to spend when war savings are exhausted, but many who live in small towns and sub urbs will begin to raise chickens, fruit and vegetables for themselves. At the very best, it will be diffi cult to maintain as large a market for agricultural products as we now have, unless important new uses for them are developed, and world trade is expanded greatly. It will also be difficult to maintain parity prices, for there are no commodi ties so sensitive to a declining purchasing power. Even in the immediate future, it looks as though farming would be somewhat less profitable, for prices of nearly everything the farmer buys are rising. And if price con trols are weakened, most of the things the farmer buys will cost a lot more. There is a feeling abroad that with permanent prosperity just around the corner, all production quotas on farm products should be left off after the war — man’s nature to produce should not be in hibited by artificial restraints. But if all quotas were abolished and the government were to make com modity loans to protect parity prices on everything the farmer wished to raise, he would very quickly raise a good deal more than he could soil in this country. Two-Price System ? The farm organizations say a two- price system will solve that prob lem. Keep prices at home up to parity, find new uses for farm products, and sell what is left abroad at whatever we can get for it. But here the doctors differ. Some would have the government take the loss, when produce is exported at a loss. The Grange suggests that the farmer take the loss on products sold abroad at less than cost. That would be the check against raising too much. Such a scheme might be worth trying in one or two export able commodities. However, even this device might not bring about sufficient control of production to maintain parity, for many farmers have a tendency to plant more acres to increase in come, as soon as price declines— and thereby cut their own throats by creating an unmarketable sur plus. The many small and poorly fi nanced farmers, who are hard to control, also create a market prob lem for the better financed farmers as soon as prices begin to drop. In relation to commodities like wheat, which in the 1930s developed unmanageable world surpluses, international production control may be necessary, although ex tremely difficult to bring about. Of course, the best way to pre serve a profitable market for farm products is to preserve the purchas ing power of the great masses of people who are not farmers. Farm ers should never forget that they are a declining proportion of the popu lation. Only 30 years ago farmers constituted more than one-third oi the population. Todriy they are scarcely more than one-fifth. As efficiency of agriculture in creases, the proportion of farmers to the total population will continue to decline. Elimination of several million sub-marginal farms may ac celerate this. When we can agree upon a fair distribution of national income, and set up economic controls that will bring about an approximately just distribution, then for the first time we shall begin fiilly to enjoy thr advantages which modern science and engineering make possible foi all people. Until then we shall have wars and political upheavals.

I ) ED Rolfe, former Yankee third baseman and now coach at j Yale, has done a bit of postwar ' planning which should appeal to ev- ! ery person interested in baseball.I Rolfe suggests that colleges start ! planning for a national baseball championship after the war—a col legiate "World Series.” He ad- j mits there is nothing new in the ! idea, but at least it comes at an opportune time. Most college lead ers—both academic and athletic— are envisioning enlarged athletic programs following the war. And baseball is the most natural game of all to a majority of the nation’s youngsters. It is natural that high schools should take a keen interest in the sport. Schools in the smaller towns Sam Byrd flanked by Sgt. E.. J. Harrison, left, and Craig WoOd, right, all appearing happy to have finished in the money at $17,500 war bond invitation golf tournament at Philadelphia. 9 T i ROBERT “RED” ROLFE usually have a good supply of talent for this type of competition. The cost is not prohibitive, and the sup port given many small town high school teams verges on the phe nomenal. Legion Program The American Legion, despite wartime restrictions and difficul ties, is continuing its junior base ball program — one of the finest sporfs undertakings in history. Most state high school championships are being held as usnal. There is one obvious reason why little attention is paid to college baseball in most instances. The reason is financial. Seldom can it support itself, much less show a profit." The Big Ten has kept the game fairly healthy, but has done little to make it a real drawing card. Baseball is looked upon as a minor sport in the college world. But it isn’t natural that so popular a game should be so neglected. With so many people interested in the game, why relegate it to the same position occupied by swimming, fencing, etc. Not that there is any thing the matter with those sports, but they never have captured the public imagination. Baseball has. Rolfe suggests a sectional elimina tion series with the Pacific coast champions playing the Big Six or Missouri valley winners; the South west against the Southeast and the Midwest against the East. “The play-offs and championship series could be completed within ten days after the college terms end in June,” Rolfe says. That would necessitate some schools keeping their players on deck for a week or two, but precedent wouldn't be broken. The N. C. A. A. track and field championships do the same thing. Possible Aid It is also Rolfe’s suggestion that the major leagues would help con duct the tournament. It is only natural they would have an inter est in the meet, since they are al ways interested in looking over the good college players. However, it is unlikely that the schools con cerned would accept any outside hc!p. But it is more than possible to secure an agreement under which the major leagues—or the minors— would not deal, with a student until his class has graduated. For more than 20 years the National Football league ha.« done this. Every once in a while a slight irritation is caused when a player quits school to join the ranks, but those instances are few enough so that they shouldn’t be allowed to throttle any workable plan. Most baseball coaches affiliated with colleges will approve of Rolfe’s plan. At least it is something con crete. It could bring college base ball back to its former glory.

Q U E E N S D I E P R O U D L Y W.N.U.TEATU«t{ CHAPTER XVI “The Dutch made us steel tripods for them in a machine shop, but we had a hell of a time getting anyone to dig the holes. We were flying missions and couldn’t do it our selves. So Silva and I took the truck and went into Madiun. On the street corners we saw a bunch of natives standing around picking their teeth or scratching their bot toms. We argued they must be Jap sympathizers, or else they would have been busy helping win the war. So we pulled out our .43’s, and by a coincidence they all got into that truck, and dug us some of the nic est foxholes you ever saw. After that, when the alarm would go off we could run to those foxholes and swing a gun—we knocked down five Zeros with them in the short time we were there. “We were fixing up our planes, too. Our tail guns had finally cured the Japs of making attacks from be hind. Now they were coming in at all directions, hunting for our soft spots, feeling us out like we were some dame on a sofa, but mostly they were hitting us head-on, be cause they discovered that in the nose we had only a single little .30- caliber. I guess the designers, aft er putting in those tail guns,, had figured they could rest on their lau rels, but you can never do that long in a war. “So we got busy there on Madiun Field. We mounted a big .50-caliber down in the navigator’s compart ment, rigging it so it would fire out of the ventilator. And for good measure we stuck in another .30- caliber. “Since then they’re carrying out this idea at the factory, but the only way any factory can learn what is needed is from the combat crews themselves. “But about the time we got those new guns rigged in the nose, the Japs started staying away from us. We’d be flying along pretty as you please when a flock of Zeros would come into view, but staying well out of range—just looking us over. Then one of our gunners might fire a burst in their direction, just to let them know we were on the balls. Or some times the Zeros might come in for one or two wide, sweeping passes. But mostly they’d go off with their tails between their legs. Toward the last they only tried to get us on the ground. They knew we had no protection there to speak of—no fighters and no pom-pom^. They’d come in insolent as could be.” (Meaning the gunners were in the ball turrets ready to fire.) “That was the week I got into something way over my head in this liaison work,” said Frank, “but first you ought to look at that big de luxe hotel which was the unofficial capi tal of Java. Its lobby, bar, and din ing room were crowded with uni forms—British, Dutch, and Ameri can. It looked like a Hollywood cos tume parade. “It was an enormous high- ceilinged spacious thing, open to the soft Javanese air—little tropical birds would fly in and out of the dining room and roost on the gleam ing chandeliers. “The Dutch are great eaters, and they have something they call reis- taffel. You order it and then sit back and eat while twenty-three waiters line up and walk by your ta ble, each carrying a different sauce Dr fish or bowl of relish or rice. I tried it once and managed to live fay eating only every other course, but your true colonial Dutchman will stoke in all twenty-three into his big pot, drenching the layers down with mugs of beer. “In the bar you might see the boys of Patrol Wing 10 in from re connaissance, drinking Daiquiris (this hotel was Navy billeting head quarters), and often I would see my Did Hollywood High School classmate John Robertson sitting there in his off hours, very handsome in his Na val pilot’s uniform, and with him was the most beautiful girl in Sura baya. “She had dark hair, and an almost ghostly pale face that was sad in re pose. Then a smile would quickly light it up, and you’d wonder how you could ever have thought that. And the most beautiful legs in the city. When she’d walk through the bar clinging to John’s arm and look ing up at him, even the oldest and crabbiest admiral would rustle a lit tle in his chair and lean out to give them a formal inspection. The younger Naval pilots envied John to the point where they would have hat ed his guts if they hadn’t liked him so much. “John was very busy and I don’t think he gave her much thought, but still it’s nice to have the most beautiful girl in town crazy about you, to the point where it even both ers the admirals. “She was, so they said, a very high Dutch socialite and had lots of money, which you might guess by how simple and expensive her eve ning dresses were. In the daytime she wore a beautifully tailored uni form of one of the woman’s volun teer organizations. I think she drove a car for the Dutch General Staff. “Meanwhile my job was growing by leaps and jumps. In that hotel dining room you might see General Wavell, the British Commander in Chief, or Admiral Hart, or General Brett, who commanded the United Nations Air Force, or Van Oeyen, the Dutch Commander in Chief. I was circulating among the tables, and my brief case was so crammed with hot information I wouldn’t trust it in a checkroom. “There was a feeling of tension. Refugees had been crowding in from Singapore and Sumatra. Now there was a feeling that maybe they’d be crowding out soon. Lots of the na tives had already left, and those ser vants who remained you knew were staying only because they were very loyal. But to whom? Maybe to the Dutch. Or maybe to someone else The same fist which held the flash light also held a steel knife. —staying around to watch us, re laying information we knew not how, or to whom. You couldn't be sure of anything. “Except that I knew they were watching me, maybe only out of idle curiosity as I circulated from one table to the other, and kept that brief case leaning against my leg when I sat at my own table. “That hotel certainly wasn’t built to keep military secrets. The big high-ceilinged bedrooms had only swinging half-doors like barrooms— open to the air above and below. The barefooted native • servants looked after them, only I’d catch them slipping in and out of mine at queer times of the day. But I thought I only imagined it. I also suspected they were listening in the corridor outside. One evening a couple of the pilots were down from Malang—going back the same night —sitting on my bed while we talked over new orders, and somehow a feeling grew on me we were being watched. I whispered to the others to go on talking, slipped off my shoes, tiptoed to the door. Just as I opened it I caught a glimpse of a white robe flitting around the comer. When I got out into the blacked-out corridor, I could see nothing. But then I was sure. “That night I slept with my brief case under my pillow. In addition every bed was provided with a Dutch widow. At first the American pilots didn’t know what to make of this and would kick them out on the floor. I should maybe explain that a Dutch widow is a long padded bolster, and if you sleep with it between your knees, it keeps your legs from press ing together mid sweating in the tropical heat. After. a while the pilots began to like them. “But that night I went to sleep wondering about the white shape I’d seen flit around the comer. It seemed about the same size as the waiter who had been staring at me in the dining room for the past three days. Only staring. isn’t quite the word. Because this particular little cbili-picker had glassy eyes like a turtle. I could never catch them di rectly on me, but I had the feeling it was I he was interested in. “Two nights later Lieutenant Jac- quet came up from Malang. By the time we had finished work it \jras so late I suggested he’d better spend the night with me. I put my brief case under my pillow as usual. On this particular night it contained something so important I don’t even like to talk about it now. Maybe that was why I slept uneasily. Or maybe because the' whole outlook for the war was so bad. I realized in the Philippines I had only been lucky, and I might never get out of Java. It was very hot, and in the distance a thunderstorm was mut tering as it moved toward the city. “Anyway, I’d been lightly asleep for about an hour when a glare awoke me. It was a flashlight, held very close—a haae of yellow light coming through the mosquito net ting over my face. But in this haze I could see that the same fist which held the flashlight also held a steel knife, and that its point stuck dowr into the yellow cone of that flash light. The other hand was just touch ing the edge of my pillow. “I gave a yell and dived through that netting like a cat, but the yel low light instantly winked out, and I was standing there alone in the darkness, while Jacquet rolled out on the other side. He hadn’t been as nervous as I, and was sleeping more deeply. But just then a blue lightning flash lit up the room, and by its quick glare I saw the door into the corridor closing (I Was sure I had locked it). But when I got out into the corridor it seemed empty. “Why hadn’t he stabbed me? I think, because he was surprised to find Jacquet there. One of us would surely have been able to make an outcry. And I thought to myself, ‘Well, stranger, for a newcomer you’re sure getting into a lot of things, because you never thought some guy you didn’t know and had never bothered would ever try to kill you through mosquito netting in a place called Java.’ The brief case was okay.” “And the queer thing was," said Margo, “that just at this time the report got back to America that Frank was dead. He’d been killed in a flying accident in Java. I was down in Florida by then, and the only man I could really talk to waa Cliff Jensen, an Air Corps boy we had known at March and Albuquer que, and later at Morrison Field. “He was stationed near by, and now was working twenty-one hours a day for the rest of the gang who were fighting in Java. I could real ly talk to Cliff—we understood each other. The rumor that Frank was dead somehow reached Australia, and of course the Air Corps is a small place. In a few days Colonel Truesdell in California heard it from one of the ferry pilots, and a few days later Cliff heard of it. He didn’t tell me, because he wasn’t quite sure, but some people thought it had really happened. “I could feel the difference. They were looking at me queerly now. They would say what a fine boy Frank ‘had been.’ Or that they were praying for his safe return. They never understand. They can’t see that what you’re anxious about is not the distant future, but this very night. Is he hungry7 Must he go out on a mission? Maybe he’s been badly hurt during the day, and you don’t know it yet. “Praying that everything will be all right during those weeks and months to come scares you—it’s ask ing too much, you’re afraid. Yow just pray he’s all right tonight, and isn’t wounded, and will get enougb sleep, so he’ll be strong and alar and have a good chance tomorrow. You don’t dare ask more. “Also those strong plump sun burned men who could leave their business for months to lie around on the Florida sands were very ‘real istic’ about the war—sure it was all a terrible mess and everything was going to pieces, offering me lots of sympathy. But what had any of them ever done to get us a decent Air Force in the past? Or what good were they or their ‘realism’ doing anyone now? I liked Cliff’s better. He knew what the boys were up against and was up half the night trying to hurry reinforcements. Out of the little we had (and he knew how little), so they could hold what they could. Cliff made sense. The rest was a nightmare.” “When we’d first hit Java,” said Frank, “we’d been full of the offen sive spirit—sure we were going to roll the Japs back off the Philippines onto Formosa with those thousand planes which, according to rumor, were coming within three months. The second month was almost u; now, Java was unsteady under our feet, and we’d so far received about two dozen P-40’s, maybe a few more Forts than that, and seven dive bombers. Hardly fifty planes in all. “Now we knew the offensive was out for the time being. TOiat we prayed for was fighters—to defend what was left of our Forts and those beautifully camouflaged Dutch air fields. With fighters to hold them off, we knew we could hold Java. “All right, suppose the Japs had moved into Timor and cut the jugu lar vein from Australia, so that our P-40’s could no longer hop on the island chain to us on their belly tanks? Why not a carrier? Couldn’t the Navy spare just one—which could load up W fh P-40’s in Austra lia and then, \.hen it was still several hundred miles from Java and out of range of the Jap bombers, it could turn the P-40’s loose, let them fly on in to us, and go back for another load?

R eleased by W estern Newspaper Union. Lesson for July 9 . Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. TAKING POSSESSION OF CANAAN LESSON TEXT—Joshua 14:6-1«; Judges 1:20. 21. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou hast wholly fol lowed the Lord.—Joshua 14:9. Companions in battle usually means friends and comrades for life. Joshua, of whom we studied last week, had such a friend in Caleb. Together they had faced the crises of Ufe. Caleb is one of the characters about whom the Bible does not say much, but in every case the word is one revealing high and noble character. Consider such passages as Numbers 13:6, 30, 14:7-9, 24, 30; 26:65, as well as our lesson for today. The background for our study is the story of Caleb's courageous stand with Joshua when the spies re turned from their visit to C aha an, which is related in Numbers 13. Note first of all Caleb’s I. Perfect Obedience (Josh. 14: 6-8). “I wholly followed the Lord my God.” Such a testimony from a man like Caleb is no idle boast,:no effort to parade his faith and piety before others. In saying it he was repeating what God and Moses had both said about him. In his heart he knew it to be true. It is God’s will for each of His children that they should come to such a place of simple trust and complete obedience that In every circumstance of life they need to know only one thing—God’s will, and then in faith to go and do it. It* is a life beautiful in its transparent simplicity and powerful in the strength of God Himself. n . Promised Inheritance (v. 9). “Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden *shall be thine inheri tance.” Such was the promise of God through Moses. Forty-five long years had elapsed, but down through this period ni wilderness wanderings and the conflict in sub duing Canaan the promise had lived in Caleb’s heart. He knew it would be fulfilled, and he waited serenely for God’s time. Such also are the piomises of God which keep the heart singing in our hours of trial and sorrow, which light up the dark ways, which strengthen the heart of His children. Leam God’s promises, cherish them in your heart, expect God to fulfill them. n i. Preserved Strength (w . 10, 11). “The Lord hath kept me alive . . . and I am . . . strong.” Here was a man kept of God, in full vigor in his eighty-fifth year, “like a rock in a changeful sea, like a snow capped peak in a change of cloud and storm and sun” (Meyer). No doubt there was here what our fore fathers liked to call “the longevity of the antediluvians” ; but even apart from that, let us recognize that life and strength come from God, and that those who walk with God in holy living may count on Him for the renewed strength of PsaIm 103:5. An incidental but extremely im portant lesson we should Ieam is that God has no age,deadline. The church has frequently sinned against Him and against His faithful serv ants by "shelving them” for younger men, when they would have brought blessing if the church had encouraged and used them. The writer of these lines is a young man, but he would speak here a word of loving admonition regarding his hon ored brethren who have gone on be fore to bear the brunt of the battle. IV. Powerful Assurance (w . 12- 15; Judg. 1:20-21). “If . . . the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able.” Caleb asked for no easy task. He was ready to go up against the giants of Hebron. Read Deuteronomy 3:11, and you will find that there were men in those days who needed thirteen-foot beds. But Caleb was not afraid. He counted not on his own strength, but on the power of God. It is significant that, while the other sections of Canaan were only partially conquered, Caleb brought his formidable adversaries entirely under control, so that “the land had rest from war” (v. 15). The verses in Judges I indicate that Caleb was as good as his word. He was a doughty, God-fearing 85-year-old. His faith is here contrasted with the shameful unbelief and failure of Is rael. The spiritual application to our day is evident and appropriate. There are giants in the land. Cor ruption — social and individual — raises its brazen head. Drunken ness and vice leer at us with the im pudent suggestion that we cannot control them. There are giants “within us — greed, selfishness, love of ease, lust, passion, cruelty” (Blaikie)'. Are we to do nothing about them? If we are to meet them in the strength of the flesh, we might al most as well do nothing. But in the power of God, we are like Caleb- able. In His name we may do some thing about it! For His glory. THINGS TONAKE Pattern No. 51G2 T 1HESE seven, smiling little busybodies of kittens will put you in a very good humor, in deed.

BA ND''- THE OAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE N, C., JULY 5. 1944 To the People of this Community This is a home front communique on the most vital war action now in progress in every community of the land—the Fifth War Loan. ____________ We are advancing on our o b j ectiv e. However, we m ust make certain that we reach and pass our goal by July 8. This can be done if every one of us puts something extra of ourselves into the fightNo one needs to remind you that it is an American trait to go into a sprint with the goal in sight.We started this push June 12. Reports from every city and town in America tell us that the number of individual buyers of extra War Bonds today has reached an unprecedented total. We all know that in addition to numbers we need Are power. Your extra War Bond is absolutely essential. The greater the stockpile of War Bonds, the easier it will be for us to get this war over.This very moment our boys are waging a life-and-death struggle. Every additional War Bond you buy will play its part in the outcome. Last month’s War Bond, last week’s War Bond, yesterday’s War Bond are already in the embattled foxholes. Today is another day for the home front just as today is another day for the boys on the battlefronts. THE EDITOR. Don Winslow of the Navy By Li. Comdr. Frank Martinek To the People of this Community ' YOV 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 importance In your mind in making up a 5'A billion dollar total for individuals. But multiply y o u rse lf by 130,000,000 and then you see in real perspective how truly great each citizen becomes in massing national strength against the Nazis and the Japs. Capt. Maurice Witherspoon, Navy chaplain aboard the Carrier Vasp when she sank, tells of a rescued wounded sailor, who, as he re-fained consciousness, asked:' “Did do my best?” That’s the only question you, too, have to ask yourself when you decide the extent of your 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. mLeft Keep Backing the Attack?

C The faithfulness of Mother dear Is wonderful to know, And brings to us sweet peace and cheer As on our way we go, Inspiring us likewise to live, Be patient, kind and good. And of our time and service give To others as we should. Amid the conflicts and the toils Dear Mother never fails, And from her duty ne’er recoils To seek the easy trails Where she might find the going smooth,^ W ith less of toil and care, And make no sacrifice to soothe The woes that others bear. Dear Mother’s fought her battles well With patience that is grand, Although in words we cannot tell How bold has been her stand For God and home, for rigbt and truth. And then against the wrong, That she might help both age and youth And win to God a throng. She’s been a faithful Mother, too, In sickness and distress; To friends and neighbors she is true We’re happy to"confess. She scatters sunshine day by day, Through prayer, faith and love, And blesses others on life’s way By serving God above. There waits for Mother, we believe, A home that’s sweet and fair, Where she, with angels, shall re ceive A “ Crown of Life” up there, If she to God will faithful be A few more fleeting days; And when from earth her soul is free She’ll ever sing God's praise. Ice By Prescription In Kentuckyaccordingto a news paper story, irate citizens are in a mood to issue a Declaration of In- dependance from an edict of the OPA which prohibits ice deliveries on Sunday. When a customer wanted to buy a dime’s worth of ice on Sunday the dealer informed him that if he made the sale be ran the risk of losing his license to do bnsi. ness and that the only way to get the ice would be on a physician’s prescription! When the ice buyer consulted a doctor tor an ice pre scription the doctor thought be was crazy. Upon being informed of the facts in the case the astonish ed doctor wrote the prescription and the customer finally got his ten cents worth of ice.

Wbat Roosevelt Said One of the every interesting bits of historical reminder of that fa mous “Again, again and again” speech made by President Roose velt at Boston October 30, 1940, in which he pledged his word of hon or to the mothers of America he would never send their sons to fight on foreign soil, has cropped up in The Times-Herald. the one inde- pendendent newspaper in Washing ton, through a letter of complaint from a Democrat. The newspaper answers the complaint from a De mocrat. The newspaper answers the complaint by quoting that por tion of the address. Tbe Fimes-Herald story says: Today’s Voice of the People col umn starts with a letter from a New Dealer who says be is angry^ because of what he claims is a fre auent misrepresentation on the part of this newspaper of President Roosevelt’s famous “again, and a- gain, and again” speech at Boston, Oct. 30, 1940. That was the speech which poli. tical experts agree, clinched the 1940 election fot Mr. Roosevelt over Wendell L- W illkie-that speech, plus the help of Toseph P. Kennedy, who as a leading Catho lie voter were warming up to Will- kie because they thought Roose velt too anxious to get us into the. war to help save the British Em pire. Experts further agree that Mr. Roosevelt’s “ again, and again, and again” promise not to send our boys to foreign wars was the clinch, ing passage in the Boston speech. It is no wonder, then, that the New Dealer for the last year or so have been circulating tl e yarn that Mr. Roosevelt added to bis promise: unless we are attacked.” It is only a yarn. The fact is that he made no such addition. We quote from page 514 of Vol. 8 ot the official set of books entitled "The Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt” (Mac- milan Co., New York, 1940): “And while I am talking to you, mothers and fathers, I give you one- more assurance. I have said this before, but I shall say it again, and again, and agiin: Your boys are not going to be sent into any tor- eigu wars “They are going into training to form a force so strong that, by its very existence, it will keep the threat of war far away from our shores. The purpose of our de fense is defense.” Tbat is the entire quotation of this part of the Boston speech. We have listened to a record of the speech as delivered by radio, to see whether Mr. Roosevelt added: ”— unless we are attacked” -and he did not. Hens Too Patriotic The War Food Administration warned on June 11 that 25,000,000 dozens Of eggs were in danger 0 ! spoiling in the biggest egg glut to confront food planners since all egg production records were broken ear lier cbis year. An estimated 1,400 carloads were on sidings and scat tered at terminals in the Midwest without any prospect of placing them in cold storage. Make It Simple An Ohio farmer's wife wrote the OPA asking for the price of tur- keys, received in reply 30,000 words of printed matter, then in de. speration wrote her Congressman, “I stiil do not know tbe price of turkeys. It would take a Philadel- phia lawyer to cipher it out Isn't there something that can be done to make them answer a simple question simply?” Land posters at this office. A 14-Year Old Makes An Appeal There came to our desk a few days ago an appeal from a 14.year old youth, J. W Laney, of Brook- ford, to the voters or Norrh Caro lina. It is gripping for it deals with some vital questions not only to the youths of North Carolina bnt to tbe state as a whole. The wet and dry question came up during the recent Democratic primany, but since the powers that be in the De mocratic party are lined up with tbe liquor interests to a large ex tent, that vital question was not settled. True, the winners of the Demo cratic primaly contest for the gov ernorship was forced “out on a limb” and compelled to say that if elected governor he would seek a statewide referendum on the mat ter. But, if the charges hurled by his foes in that race are correct, the man’s personal life and politi. cal life do not go hand in band. And we are wondering bow that large horde of church members who followed the defeated candidate be cause of bis dryness and the other man’s wetness are going to swal. low tbeir own -conscience in Nov ember. Someone once said a De mocrat carries his conscience a- round with him in his vest pocket that be might change it to suit the circumstances But here comes this lad from Brt ok ford, in Catawba county, with a challege that will not be for gotten as much as tbe politicians would like to. It is going to haunt us through tbe days and months. We are going to quote the letter in full hete; “I am only a 14-year-old high school boy, but I’m interested in North Carolina’s having a dry gov ernor, Legislature and State. In the not too distant future, the men of my age will run the government We want the government to be left in the best possible shape when we take over, and that’s why we want Frank C. Patton for governor. “Tbe main issue in November will be, do we want a drinking man for our chief executive or do we want a fine, dry, sober Chris tian gentleman? Manv say there is no wet or d ir issue In this elec tion that will be held in November but there is. “ R. Gregg Cherry has a wet re cord. Frank C Patton has a dry record Who could be so ignorant as to say there is no wet and dry issue in tbe coming November election? “ Please, Mr. Editor, ask the vo ters not to let us young people down. “ Tbe question is not, are you a Democt at. It is, are you fordrun. enness, crime, poverty, ignorace, etc., or are you for a good, clean Christian State?” The lad signed bis letter "Yours in hopes of a victory for righteous ness.” And he put his finger on the sore spot in our political life in North Carolina. Shall the Chris, tian people of North Carolina let this lad and the countless thous. ands of others like him down next November?—Union Republican. What KindOf Freedom? Where is tbe freedom of Repub Iicans and anti-fourth term Demo crats who are members of C. I. 0. unions and are compelled to con tribute of their cash earnings to help renominate and elect those they op- pose-politically? Is that the kind of freedom for which our soldiers are fighting and dying on foreign shores? —The Charlotte Observer. Geo. MacArthor Writes To Mother of Sgt. Lisk Mrs. Fannie M. Lisk, of Stanly county, mother of Sgt. Henry Clav Lisk, J r , killed in action over Wake Island last month, has re reived a letter of smypathy from General Douglas McA thnr, com mander of the United States forces in the South Pacific. The letter follows: "In tbe death of your son, Sgt. Henry C. Lisk, Jr., I have lost a gallant cotnrade-in arms., and I can not express to you the poignancy of mv regret. “ His service under me in the Southwest Pacific was character ized by bis complete devotion to our beloved country and by his death in our crusade for freedom and liberty he is enshrined in its imperishable glory. “Very faithinlly, “DOUGLAS MACARTHUR,” Time For A Change If President Roosevelt is nomi nated by the Democrats as their party’s candidate for President for a fourth term the voters will be urged not to change horses in mid stream. This appeal has lost its effectiveness The people of Frauce changed horses in the last war and got Clemencean. It was to their advantage. The people of England changed horses and got David Lloyd George. It was to their ad vantage. In this war, England changed horses, and Churchill re placed Chamberlain. And it will be to the advantage of the Ameri can people to change horses in No vember and replace Roosevelt. Is Treason “This government derives its just powers from the consent of the peo ple. Usurped power is treason to the liberties of the people, no mat ter tbe guise in which it appears. Tbe organic law bears out that as sertion, it saying that "tbe powers not delegated are reserved to the States respectively or to the people’, which reservation every man taking office swears to support, not even a member of the Supreme Conrt be ing exempt.”—The Houston, Texas, Post.

Deoiocratic Revolt “The Southern revolt, which New Deal leaders and New Deal news- papere have been saying all long was a radiculous idea, iswell underway.” The Southern Weekly, an old Demo, cratic newspapper published at Dal las, Texas, for the past 42 years, in its issue of May 27 which has been sent to numerous newspaper office in North Carolina. The whole issue, which is devoted entirely to anti-New Deal philoso phy, in its leading article says: "The South Carolina Democratic Convention on May 14th notified the New Dealers that tbe belief that Southern Democrats will stand for anything and still vote tbe ticket straight is a complety mistaken one. Tbe Texas Democratic State Conven- tion did the Bame thing, with even greater emphasis, on May 23rd. The South Carolina convention postponed naming presidential electors until after it is known what action the na tional convention takes, and the Texas State Convention, while no- nating presidential electors, provid ed that they shall not be bound to support tbe nominees of the nation al convention unless that body com plies with certain very definite sti pulations. TLe fight is on in dead earnest. A notable incident in cennection with the South Carolina convention was the failure of War Mobilization Director James P. Bryan to answer a telegram trom a member of the steering committee of the majority group of delegate. The telegram to Judge Byrnes was sent by Leon W. Harris. It expressed certain fears as to President and it requested that Mr. Byrnes give the state conven tion assurances that these fears are unfourded. Among other things, Harris asked whether President Roosevelt would use “armed or other force” to permit negroes to vote in white primaries in South Ca rolina or other southern states.” RATION GUIDE SHOES—Airplane stamps I and 2, in Book 3, good in definitely.

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. Let's Face Facts A Bit of Wheat History May Prevent Mistakes In Postwar Planning By BARROW LYONS ■ i WNU Sfoff Cornspondent M Barrow Lyons WASHINGTON, D. C. We might save ourselves a deal of misery if we could think back clearly and recall the problem we faced 13 years ago when the world wheat mar ket was an inter national h e a d ache, Almost cer tainly, unless we have learned our lesson much bet ter than mere hu mans usually do, we shall be faced again with simi lar situations. Perhaps the memory of what once was so disheartening will help us to avoid making the same kind of mistakes again. Year after year following the last war, we had been piling up a larger and larger surplus of wheat, and the domestic price as well as the world market had declined to a point where you could almost count on one hand, the number of wheat farm ers operating at a profit. Still, we seemed to be unable to reduce our wheat acreage. It was much the same story in every important wheat-growing nation on earth, ex cept China and Russia. By 1931 Russia had made enough progress with its Five-Year plan to permit wheat export again. Once Russia had been the “bread basket of Europe.“ In 1931 Russia desper ately needed foreign exchange with which to purchase machinery abroad. Our own government did all it could to discourage Russia’s industrial development, although it was that nation’s mighty effort then to gird for war that enabled it to drive back the Nazi armies 11 years later while we prepared to do our part. International Problem In May, 1931, we sent to London a delegation of the federal farm board to meet representatives of other great wheat growing nations. It was hoped that they might work out an agreement to control the movement and price of wheat in international trade, and thereby take the first constructive step to lift the wheat farmers of the world from the very depths of despond ency. At that time wheat was sell ing in Chicago at 83 cents per bush el and for much less on the farm. In Winnipeg wheat brought 49 cents and in Liverpool 72 cents. Samuel R- McKelvie headed our delegation. At that time I wrote in an article entitled "The Wheat Chaos—Pool or Ruin?” which appeared in the Nation: "There are three courses the farm board might pursue. It could lock up its wheat holdings, as some of the western senators have de manded, but it has refused to ac cept this suggestion and has decided to unload as rapidly as it can. It could sell in an open market in competition with ttie huge carryover stores of the Argentine, Can ada and Australia and with the splendid crops that in a few months will be ready to flood world mar kets with even more unwanted grain; but to do that would in evitably depress prices still further. Finally, the farm board could co operate with the rest of the world on the problem of wheat.” The London conference did not set tle the matter. Argentine, which had introduced farming machinery on a considerable scale and prob ably was then the cheapest produc er of wheat, felt that it was not nec essary for it to limit its output, since it could undersell anyone— at least anyone but Russia. Rus sia had been successful in forcing her wheat into any market where machinery was to be purchased. tOtherf Control Measures But eventually measures of con trol were brought into the world pic ture, and after a time international depression was absorbed in produc tive energy—and the world moved along toward the next war, which burst upon it only seven years after the London wheat conference. What might have happened, if the great nations of the world had been able to cooperate promptly and intelligently to improve the eco nomic condition of wheat farmers— and the producers of other agricul tural commodities that entered into world trade—no one can tell. As to wheat production control,— the world never did get very' far with that one, mainly because Ar gentina would not play ball. The world of tomorrow is for us to make, however, and it is for tunate that thoughtful men already are giving consideration to plans, which may assure farmers of the future steadier incomes. There are a number of elements in the present world situation which presage a very different economic and political outlook than after the’ last war. The most important ol these is the rise of Russia, now powerful in the economic, military and diplomatic spheres. Since Rus sia’s economy is based on produc tion for use, rather than for profit- it may take some time for us to ad just ourselves to bargaining with that country. But Russia, neverthe less, is anxious to obtain all jt can from the rest of the world to exchange for her exports.

L y Released by W estern Newspaper Union. SOMEHOW the world seemed com pletely wrong one recent morn ing when a quick glance at the league standings on the sports pages showed the New York Yankees tied lor seventh place in the American league. How the mighty had fallen! That iras the first thought. But the initial Mow was softened by the fact that »nly 4'/2 games separated the first- place St. Louis Browns and the sighth-place Philadelphia Athletics. It wasn’t long ago that Jimmy Dykes and Lou Boudreau were feud ing over whether :he White Sox or the Indians should win the pennant. Boud reau- Cleveland In- iian m anager, made a forcible statement predict ing the eventual tri umph of the Sox. Dykes, manager of the latter team, dis agreed. It was his stated belief that the Indians were he league’s fair-haired boys. Following that exchange of com pliments, tiie two teams went into in early-season death struggle to see who would gain occupancy of last place. Except for a week or so In which the Indians took the honor, the Sox clung to the cellar, spot with a bulldog tenacity. However, they didn’t stay there. The more de pendable A’s took over. Jimmy Dykes 24-Hour Positions As this is being written Cleveland is in fourth place, Chicago in fifth. Those positions are not guaranteed for more than 24 hours. The Ameri can league is delightfully unpre dictable. Almost unstable. While we think the Yankees still will be the team to beat for the pen nant—despite St. Louis—we can’t ig nore the Indians and White Sox. They have too many possibilities. The records show that under Dykes the White Sox always have been a formidable team in the sec ond half of the season. Remember that they started badly last year, but were finishing so strongly at the end of the season that had the cam paign bad two more weeks to go, they probably would have finished second. Dykes was forced to devote a large part of the first six weeks of this season to experimentation. In normal times these experiments would have been made during spring training. For a long time the Indians have been known as a team well up to ward the front until midseason. Then they fell apart. This season they did their falling apart earlier than usual. The In dians should be a better ball club in the second half of the campaign, particularly if Ken Keltner and Allie Reynolds..,are .able to,„stay around. The pitching staff is working itself into shape and pitching is likely to be the determining factor in the race. We grant that it is doubtful if either team has enough all-around strength to take the flag — but neither of them are as bad as early showings indicate. Veteran Hurlers The Yankees get the nod because they started with three excellent veteran pitchers — Hank Borowy, Ernie Bonham and Atley Donald. They also unveiled two fine new comers—Walt Dubiel and Joe Page. The present American league race is something new under the sun. There is not an outstandingly good team and there is not an over whelmingly weak team. There is likely to be no team in the circuit capable of far outdistancing the field. All this makes the National league race look like a walkaway. At the same time the Yankees were tied for seventh in the junior circuit, St. Louis was leading the National by a comfortable margin. The Chicago Cubs were 1414 games out. The usual situation had been reversed with a vengeance. Almost any team in the Ameri can is capable of a winning streak —and equally capable of a slump. Most of them- have undergone the latter. It seems quite possible that the team which really gets warmed up in September will be the one to take the flag. SPORTS SHORTS Q.

QUEENS DIE PROUDLY 'T f t / l l t S ' W.N.U.TEATUREJ Keejp the Battle Rolling With War BondsandScrap CHAPTER XVlI “We dreamed and prayed for this. And as a matter of fact the Navy did make an attempt. An aircraft tender was loaded with P-40’s and started out from Australia. But what happened was just what was feared. Those P-40’s were in crates stacked high on her decks, so she had to come clear in—through skies the Jap bombers ruled. She went down with her entire crew and those crated P-40’s forty miles off the southwest coast of Java—but I’m sure the Navy was doing the best it could for us with what they had. *‘Of course it gave our morale a kick in the belly. Late the next afternoon young Jack Dale (he’d won his spurs in the Philippines with the 17th Pursuit) came in from Gnoro on a personal -mission from Major Bud Sprague. When he’d fin ished it he stayed a few minutes. “The next night a Navy man who had just got in from obr little fleet told me what had happened to the Marblehead and the Houston, those two beautiful cruisers which had been the nucleus of our Asiatic Fleet —helping the Dutch and Australians defend Java. With the rest of the fleet they’d been out in the Java- Sea. When they sighted a Jap recco plane overhead about noon, they knew they were in for trouble. They had no carrier, of course, which could send a fighter up to shoot it down. He said the Jap bombers pres ently came over them from their bases in Borneo and the Celebes (our bases they had captured) in three waves, spaced about half an horn: apart. By skillful maneuver ing they dodged the bombs of the first two waves. But the third, which crippled them, caught them just at sundown, and chewed their superstructures into steel spaghetti. “In the darkness, they were able to crawl away out of range, and the Marblehead eventually got back to the States.’* ‘But troubles of our own were looming ahead. The boys in Navy Patrol Wing 10 came in with the report that their planes on recon naissance had sighted a force of six Jap transports and five warships headed .toward Bali Strait, which di vides Java from Bali. They were after the Den Passar airdrome on Bali—our last stepping-stone—hav ing already occupied the airfield at Timor. Thk was, as maybe you now begin to see, a war of airdromes— Clark, Del Monte, Kendari, Sama- rinda, Kupang, all of them lost pearls in the United Nations’ de fenses, and now Den Passar. Next it could only be Malang, KNILM, Gno- ro, and Madiun—all we had left on the strand. Seldom in this war did the Japs make a brutal assault; al ways it was the skillful surgeon’s technique—isolate and occupy the airdromes and then you have the country. It was a game we knew well too, but you’ve got to buy chips before they will deal you a hand, and we didn’t have the equipment. “All I can say is the Dutch and Americans were ready to defend Bali with what we had. Our little surface navies moved in that night to clip them a glancing blow on the run, as they’d done at Macassar Straight, and our submarines did a grand job in the moonlight. The Colonel sent his Fortresses out and down to 5,000, to paste them from the ^jr. We left two transports burning in the moonlight, and a crip pled cruiser. “Next morning -it was up to the Air Force alone, because the Navy was too tiny to venture out by day. The Forts went over, of course—in fact everything we had, to smash at those Jap transports as they poured thirty thousand troops onto the beach at Bali. The P-40’s were led by Bud Sprague himself. That morning he got his commission as a lieutenant colonel. He paused just before the take-off to scrawl' his signature on his papers, but he didn’t take time to pretty himself up in his new silver leaves; I guess he was satisfied to die in his old gold ones. Because what they desperately needed was dive bombers, and about all they had was P-40’s—a fighter plane which was never built as a stable platform to launch an egg from. But all right, there the job was to do, and so Bud climbed into the cockpit. “ ‘How many passes at the target are we going to make?’ someone asked. “ ‘Depends on how many wild hairs I’m sprouting when we get over her,’ says Bud with a grin, and they were off. “He led them cold pigeon into that Jap barrage over the Bali .beach— Hell!—back here, the people' don’t know that boy ever did a thing out there—and the other boys saw hire go down in on his run—and never come up again. Yet his boys—what are left of them—still like to hope maybe he succeeded in landing on that Bali beach, which looks so nice in the travel folders, and will turn up grinning some day, telling them what a social success he was with the natives. “But it was pitiful. We lost al most all our dive bombers there, and about half our P-40 fighters. Of course Bud and his gang made the Japs pay ten to one for taking that airfield—but the Japs had it to pay. “With the Japs holding that Bali field, they could send bombers and fighters into every corner of Java, and we knew it was almost over. But anyway the Forts could now bomb our own field the Japs had tak en from us—very convenient, be cause we knew exactly wheretevery- thing was. “When I got back late to the ho tel there was that beautiful Dutch girl, the one with the black hair and the pale face which was so wistfully sad in repose. Only there were no sudden little smiles lighting it up now. She was at the table where she and John Robertson W kS i Caught them just at sundown and chewed their superstructures into steel spaghetti. usually sat, alone. When she saw me she jumped up and came run ning across the room. Had I seen John? she wanted to know, in her pretty broken English. “Out in the lobby they had told me John was missing. He’d been out on reconnaissance patrol in that lumbering slow old Navy flying boat, and there bad been two messages from'him: ‘Many Zeros sighted,’ and then about a minute later a final one: ‘Zeros closing in.’ That left only three of the ones I knew in gallant Patrol Wing 10, Commander Peterson, Bill Hardy, and Duke Campbell. None of them had been able to tell her, and when I looked at her face I found I couldn’t either. Because it was the face of someone frozen with fear in a nightmare—so frozen you knew she daren’t move to accept the truth if you told her, so I too was afraid. “In all the evenings that were left (there were not to be many) I avoid ed that lobby, because it was haunt ed by a ghost—a pretty, pale, fear- frozen face that came running up to you and asked, with hope forced into a frightened smile, if you had seen John. To me the most frighten ing ghost of all—the ghost of a dead love which will not die. “But there’s something else that should be told, only I must go back in the story a little. The Army had sent a high ground officer to Sura baya on a special mission of great importance, and with about a mil lion dollars deposited to his credit in the Javische Bank. With this he was to buy and equip with supplies three blockade runners which would carry to Corregidor ammunition, medical supplies, and food for those poor devils on Bataan who were still fighting on. Two of the ships had already left. A third was almost ready to go. “This officer Ieft-Java the twenty- sixth of February. The day after he left, his assistant, a young sec ond lieutenant, called me up in con siderable anxiety. His chief, he ex plained, had paid him the compli ment of leaving him in Surabaya in entire charge of completing the ar rangements. “Nothing remained to be done except the most important thing of all: the officer before leaving had been unable to find a radio operator for this last ship. Without one they could not start, because unless they gave a prearranged radio signal when they approached Corregidor, the Rock’s guns would blow them to pieces. Could the Air Force possibly let them have a radio operator? Since the mission was a dangerous one, the assistant said he would pay a man who volunteered a bonus oul of the money his chief had left in the bank. “Now asking our Colonel for a ra dio operator was like asking him for his right arm. But Java was caving in, the situation was tense. Our Colo nel hesitated, aiid then said that while he couldn’t order anyone on so dangerous a mission, he thought, even after we explained clearly what it was, we could get a volunteer. “And we did. We told the men the mission was most dangerous but of the greatest possible service to our country. And out of. the line stepped a clean-cut, alert-looking kid called Sergeant Warrenfeltz. Only after this did I tell him of the five- thousand-dollar bonus. We let War renfeltz go down and look over the ship, loaded with surgical equip ment, food, drugs, and three hun dred thousand rounds of .30-caliber ammunition, so that she was practi cally a floating bomb. He talked to the captain (a Swede) and looked over the Negro and Chinese crew. There were two—one for topside dressed like Javanese natives so the Japs might mistake her for a fish ing trawler. Then Warrenfeltz came to me with written orders from the bomber command and I told him the ports of call. They were to slip out at night, down the north coast of Java, through Lombok Strait, then along the Netherlands East Indies, -then cut up-east of the Celebes, running the Jap block ade into the Philippines till they came to Manila Bay entrance, where they would be challenged by the Rock. And he was to answer on the radio with the proper signal. “Then he asked what were the other ports of call. So I told him (it makes me creep to repeat it) they were then to run the block ade through the Jap-mandated is lands past Guam (now held by the Japs) to Honolulu. “ tWhat else?’ asked Warrenfeltz, grinning. He was game for any thing. And I told him his third and last port of call would be New York. And then what? he wanted to know. I told him if he got that far, he was to have himself some fun, and I was sitting down now to write him out an order for thirty days’ leave. “He knew what he was getting into. We’d been flying over those waters for months; he knew just how thick the Jap surface ships were, and also that they had hardly a fifty per cent chance of escaping being blown up by a Jap mine just outside the breakwater. Why did he do it? To help those poor devils in the infantry, dying on Bataan. He’d seen the cargo. And then the money—he told me exactly what to do with that, and the message I must send, but we’ll come to it lat er. Of course it was all pretty ir regular, paying a man for heroism. Maybe when peace comes, some body in a swivel chair in Washing ton will start writing us letters ask ing us why we did it, and I don’t know what we’U say. And then it all ended happily for us, because the money Warrenfeltz was sup posed to receive for trying to do what he did was never paid. But that comes later. “Meanwhile we had other things to worry about. The Japs had put a little landing force ashore on a tiny island sixty miles north of Surabaya, and taken over its radio station. “They hadn’t told us yet,” said the Bombardier, “but we smelled it. Rumors were running all over the place that we might evacuate any time now. Madiun, where I was based, was being bombed every day now—we’d go out on a mission and always come back to find craters in our runways. When we’d land, im mediately there’d be another alarm and we’d have to hop off the field without servicing the planes or load ing more bombs. “Also, instead of going out to tar gets in formations, we now were going singly. As soon as we’d get one ship on the ground long enough to get it gassed and bombed up, we’d take off by our little lonesome, dodging Zeros to pick just any target from the countless transports that were swarming off Java. In the last week I got a light cruiser and a transport—blew the end off the transport. “Mostly we were flying in a men tal fog. Rumors! Every day they’d say no, we weren’t going to evac uate, because more reinforcements were going to land on the field any day now—even our own maintenance crews were about to land by boat. Then we’d hear their boat had been sunk (it really went on past us to India) and that we were pulling out. Nothing was sure, except the fact that all those Jap ships moving to ward Java weren’t pleasure yachts, and that we didn’t have any recep tion committee to meet them. On what turned out to be my last day. I got my plane loaded with bombs and took off, headed for a huge con voy we’d heard was coming down toward us from Borneo. We met it halfway — the plane ahead o f u* was already pasting it when we ar rived. We came in at 28,000 watch ing this first ship plunking direct hits on two parallel strings of transports —seventeen in each string, thirty- four in all, with fifteen or twenty naval craft circling them.

Soil Conservation Steps Up Yield 21% Big Advance Was Made in Last Decade Looming, large among factors con tributing to the American farmers’ record production job on food and Sber for war is the notable increase shown in acre yields of vital crops. Peb acre yields of major crops during the years 1934-43 were 11.8 per cent greater than yields in the pre-conservation practices decade of 1923-32, according to government fig ures. In the period 1-937-43, the seven years during which conservation practices have been carried out as a part of the Agricultural Adjust ment agency’s program, crop yields per acre averaged 21.2 per cent above the 1923-32 figure. Yields in 1943 were higher than in any year since 1923, except for the phenome nal 1942 acre yield which was 36 per cent above the average for the earlier decade. Comparison of acreage and total production figures shows that while total acreage in 1937-43 was about 6 per cent smaller than the 1923-32 average, total agricultural output in- ereased 14.5 per cent. The increased yields since 1937, due primarily to tiie employment of conservation practices, have been responsible for this high output figure from a smaller acreage. The 1944 AAA conservation pro gram, emphasizing practices that will immediately increase yields, seeks expansion of the use of lime, phosphate and other fertilizers, pro motion of legume, hay and grass seed harvest, continuance of ero sion control and water conservation measures and expansion of range and pasture practices. With increased needs for food and fiber expected in 1945, when most at this year’s crop will be con sumed, U. S. farmers are looking to the Agricultural Conservation pro gram to maintain the land’s produc tivity for the current crop while pro tecting its fertility for future plantings. 'Tt also keeps reminding me to meet my production goals.” Fertilizing Tomatoes Nearly Doubles Crop Two research men of the soils de partment at the University of Wis consin, found that tomatoes need a lot of fertilizer and pay a big profit on it,' even on land that already is quite fertile. They report that compared with unfertilized tomatoes the best treat ment increased yields enough to net 4244 extra to the acre above fer tilizer cost. This was on the basis ot the 1943 cannery price; actually these tomatoes were sold on the Milwaukee market at a higher price and greater return for the fertilizer. Most profitable of the fertilizer programs tested was a broadcast application of 500 pounds 6-6-20 to the acre 500 pounds 3-12-12 at the side of the row. At a fertilizer cost of $20.80 to the acre, this treatment in creased yields by 69 per cent. Row applications alone were not able to bring out top yields and were less profitable on the acre basis. The 6-6-20 fertilizer which was broadcast gave just as good results as more expensive formulas con taining larger amounts of either nitrogen or phosphorus. These results were secured on a Miami silt loam soil which contains medium to high amounts of phos phorus, a fair amount of potassium, plenty of boron and has a reaction ianging from just below neutral to slightly alkaline. The variety of tomatoes grown was a rather late one named J. T. D. .Berger and Truog think it is possible that an earlier variety would have, paid off even better on fertilizer, since about one-third of this crop was caught by frost ’ before it sipened.

Keep Cool With Frosty Ice Box Pudding (See Recipes Below) Summer Favorites If appetites are dawdling, a real Job confronts the cook. Summer or winter, the body needs nourish- ’’ m ent, and the basic seven foods must be included in the diet. What, then, must be done?mus Wellell, for one thing, the appetite must be coaxed with new and dif ferent combinations of food. Even in summer there should be one hot food in the meal, but the cold ones should be very cool and tempting. Attractive serving can help con sumption, too. If there are cool, crisp looking tablecloths, napkins and dishes, the appetite will natur ally perk up. Add to this, green, crisp garnishes, pleasing color com binations and well prepared foods, and there need be no difficulty in having the food eaten even on the warmest day. Save Vsed Fats! Today’s round-up of recipes will help in planning palate-pleasing menus for hot summer days: ‘Veal-Cheese Sandwich.

GOLDEN TE X T -R tghteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people. —Proverbs 14:34. The success or failure of both .-na tions and. individuals is ultimately determined by their attitude toward the law of God. He is always right and true. The constant factor in a world order that swings wildly from one extreme to another, is His law, which is perfect and eternal. God is no respecter of persons. Even Israel, His own chosen nation, found that observing God's law meant blessing, and failure to do so brought judgment and sorrow. No man is great and powerful enough to ignore this rule—and none is ex empt from its operation. I. Remembering God Brings Bless ing (vv. 6-9). Although Israel had not fully obeyed God’s command, and had been rebuked by an angel of the Lord for their failure (Judg. 2:1-5), they had come into a measure of their Inheritance under Joshua. They now possessed that inher itance and entered into enjoyment of it (v. 6). It is one thing to have an inheritance, but another thing to claim it and make use of it. Count less Christians have never taken out their inheritance in Christ. All they have is the earnest (Eph. 1:14) or “down payment.”God never meant that any child of His should live a poverty-stricken spiritual life, or should go halting on first one side and then the other. He has made provision for a full- orbed, strong and joyful life. Why not enter upon your full inheritance in Christ now? As the people of Israel took pos session of the land, they went for ward in the way of blessing as long as Joshua, and the elders who re membered God, kept them steady and true. We have here ah excel lent illustration of the power of a godly example. It is far stronger than we think. II. Forgetting God Brings Back sliding (w . 10-13). The fact that a people has been highly privileged and has been ex alted to a place of power and honor will not save it in the day when God is forgotten. Israel no longer had God-fearing men to bring it back to God, and so began its awful drifting away from God. We Americans are rightly proud of our great land, its mighty re sources, its fine past and promising future. But wait—what is the future to be? Oh, we say, the most glori ous days are ahead. They may be, but only if we, like our forefathers who established this nation, recog nize God. If we do not, America will go thq way of the, forgotten em pires of centuries past, and that in spite of all its past achievements and its present promise. . Let us always remember that America is not some vague entity apart from us, for we, you and I, are America, we determine what it shall be, and how it shall relate it self to God. Let us be sure that no orte we know ever forgets God.It is a significant thing that the leaders, of our nation so often come from Christian homes, but it is sad that they, are so frequently not Christians themselves. Their lives are shaped by the teaching and in fluence of godly parents who. reared them,' but what will their children do if they are not brought up in the fear and admonition of the Lord? Forgetting God is bad enough in its immediate results, but just ahead there is great and certain disaster. III. Forsaking God Brings Judg ment (w . 14-16). God not only will not hold a back sliding nation guiltless, but will bring judgment even if He has to turn over His people to a despoiling nation. He has instruments of indi vidual and national chastisement, and He is ready to use them. Notice that wherever they went the Lord’s hand was against them. There is no place to flee from the presence of God. Anyone who thinks he can do it, should read Psalm 139:7-12. It can’t be done. That is a comfort to the believer, but it is not a little disquieting to the'-un believer.God, however, always remembers mercy in the midst of judgment'(Ps. 101:1). He sent judges to deUyer Israel,.when He was:sure of their repentance (v. 16).. “If there, was ever a time when nations needed deliverers, it's now. The systemat ic looting of subjugated peoples, the deliberate murder of multitude's of Jews, the mass executions of many innocent people in reprisal for spme patriotic act of resistance, -,are 'evils that cry to heaven.‘If men would call on God not merely for deliverance but in real repentance for sins committed ‘per haps the God who delivered Israel’ would send deliverance to suffer ing people still” (Arnold’s Commen tary). Well—why not call on Him now, in earnest repentance and faith. Will you do it?

To the Peopfe of this Community There are many urgent reasons for buying War Bonds. First, the invasion needs money. Bonds pay for planes and guns and munitions___________ with which tobeat the Axis. Our fighting men m ust have the best possible equipment and it is up to us to let our money provide this.A second reason is this: Th e re is a shortage of goods now. Later on there will be plenty for civilian desires. Money put into War Bonds now will be available then. Busi* ness opportunities will be open then, too, and the “nest egg” saved now may hatch out commercially then.Monoy put into War Bonds now will be deprived of its current potentiality as a part of the causes of inflation. You will be doing your part toward stabilizing the money situation by buying Bonds instead of dwindling stocks. That is a third reason.But the best reason from a selfish viewpoint is this: Right now there is no better investment than War Bonds. There is no safer repository for your money. By buying Bonds you become a stockholder in the strongest “going” concern in the world today, the United States of America. THE EDITOR.

Tmntry Dtpartmtnt DAY DRIVE TO VICTORY By Frank Marasco—AfiItcaufcee Sentinel U.S. Treatury Dtpartmtit The Farmers’ Contribntion to Financing the War by B. M. Gile Head, Dept, of Agricultural Economic» Louisiana State University UxARMERS are buying War L Bonds to help make it possible for their countrymen fighting on the battle fronts of the world to defeat the armed forces of the aggressor nations. As a whole, farmers have shown that they are willing to make as many sacri fices as any other group in order to win the war. In proportion to their net incomes, they have and will continue to purchase their full share of War Bonds, which constitutes one of the important means for obtaining money or credit to finance the conduct of the war. While farmers would help finance the war for patriotic rea sons alone, fortunately War Bonds also serve to help them accomplish certain personal welfare ends. Among these ends are the future security of their farm busi ness and the attainment of certain accomplishments for their families. During the war, at least half of the productive effort in industrial plants is being used to pro duce the instruments used for fighting. This means a shortage of goods available for civilian purposes, both for production and consumption. Farm machinery, buildings, fencing materials that are depreciating and wearing out with use cannot be replaced at the usual rate. The ability to maintain as good a standard of living as we have under wartime conditions is to a considerable extent explained by the fact that we had acquired durable capital goods before the war which are being worn out in production during the war. By purchasing War Bonds with the money which normally would be used for replacements, safe keeping is provided for reserves which can be used after the war tp purchase new machinery, building and fencing materials not available now.There is also an income which would be normally spent for durable consumption goods. By spending as little as possible now, farmers help to prevent further inflation in the prices paid for the inadequate supply of manu factured goods for civilian purposes and also by refusing to follow the upward spiral of land prices, they can help prevent undue inflation in land prices. While we hope that farm prices will not drop too severely, it seems fairly certain that wartime prices will not continue indefinitely after the war ends. Many farmers are wisely investing as much as pos sible of their wartime cash in comes in War Bonds as a sort of prudent insurance to protect the family against the hazards of a possible low income period some time in the future. It also serves to provide a special reserve fund for sending the children to col lege when they Teach that stage in their development. For the tenant farmers, War Bonds furnish an excellent means for creating a reserve for the down payment on a farm, when more farms are for sale at normal prices. Past experience has shown that the tenant farmer who has accumulated his operating capital and is ready to buy a farm at a time when a land boom is raging, will do better to remain a tenant a few years longer. The increased cost of land rents when prices of farm products are at high levels is small compared to the capital losses on a 160-acre farm that declines 25 dollars per acre below the purchase price, due to lower prices for farm products. It re quires a good part of the produc tive lifetime for most people to save $4,000, for about ten dollars must be earned in order to save one dollar. In any event, it is a serious matter for anyone to lose the savings accumulated from many years of productive effort. This did happen to many thou sands of both farm and non-farm families during the drastic decline in prices following World War I. As contrasted with the last war, farmers are following sounder financial methods. More of them are aware of the truism that prices rise when many are eager to buy, and that prices are low when sellers are plentiful. From the standpoint of personal finance, usually only those things which are immediately necessary should be purchased when prices are high. If credit is used to gain ownership control over land or any durable production goods at materially higher prices, the source of repayment should be in sight within a relatively short time, a year or two at most. In general, it would be advisable to incur only short-time debts which can be repaid before prices fall. War Bonds furnish a convenient investment medium to help farmers who wish to follow a prudent financial policy. V.

Let Not Man Put Asunder "Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female. And said for this cause shall a man leave his fath er and mother and shall cleave to bis wife and they twain shall be one flesh. Wherefore they are no more twain, but on flesh. Wbat therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder” Matt, (Matt. 19:46.1 So many hundreds yea, thousands of homes are broken up, just be* cause someone listened to the devil instead of God. In a home where God dweli’s. where God is Master and head, the home will stand, never will there be any divorces. So many just marry and don’t seem to care how many husband’s or wives they have. Never satisfied, always seeing some one they think they like better. Yet the words of Jesus don’t change, he said, “ What therefore God hath joined to-gether, let not man put a- sunder” (That word asunder mean8 —apart, into sorts, in a divided state.) In other words” let not man put into parts.” So many are doing that very thing, yes even while the boys are out yonder fighting for us. Some other man’s fighting for us. Some other man’s flirting with bis wife. Young wives, I want to ask you this question. While your hus band’s on the battlefield or in some training camp and you’re running a- round to dances movies and all kinds of tbe devils play house’s with someother fellow. What will you do when you stand before God yonder and your record of every thing you’ve done whether it be good or bad (II Cor. 5:10) faces you. I wond er what will your answer be? I’m afraid about nine-tenths of us wives (and I say us for my husban i’s it) service, too.) Will be found un-true to our husband’s. I’m true to mine, how about you. friend? Some may say “0. well I’ll have a good time and he’ll never know it.” "There fore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to Light the Hidden things of DARKNESS and will make manifest the counsels of tbe hearts and then shall everyman have praise of God” (I Cor. 4:5) Therefore friends, quit fooling yourselves “God is not mock ed for whatsoever a man sowetb that shall he also reap” (Go). 6:7) “What therefore Gcd hath joined to-gether, let not man putasunder.” Maybe you have already “put asun der” (or divided) vou and your com panion, I know but one way of es cape and that’s through the blood of Christ. Are you asking as the Phi lippian jailor asked Paul and Silas? "W bat must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord, JesuB Christ and thou shalt be SAVED ” (Acts 16:39-31) And him tbatcometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” (St. John 6:37) Come to Jesus now so you can pray for your service men. They need our prayer above everything else. MRS.. ELBERT DUNCAN. Kannapolis. N. C.

We have had to mark several names off our books this week. Maybe one of them was your husband or son. The Poor Rev. Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddeoite. N. C. Jesus said, “ For the poor ye have always with you.” It is a settled fact that there were poor people when Christ was upon the earth, and all through the ages there have been poor people. It is so today. In fact the vast majority of man. kind are poor. When we compare numbers,, the rich are few. It is true that many people are neither poor nor rich. They come between the two classes. We call them tbe “ weli-to-do.” That is, they are spoken of in this respect from tbe standpoint of money and possess ions. But we do realize that it is not a misfortune to be poor? Especially is tbis so if we are Christians. We have often thought that God al lows the vast majority of men to be poor in order to have a better chance at their souls; for it is very daogerous to be rich, when we think of the soul. There are only a few instances In the Bible where a rich man was godly. Abraham possessed much In a material way, and so did Job, and still were god ly. It is an exception to tbe rule, and not tbe rule itself. “ Go to now, ye rich men, weep and bowl for yout miseries that shall come upon you Your riches are corrupted, and yonr garments are motheaten. Your gold and sil ver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against vou, and you sball eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days, Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye hava nourished your hearts, as in the day of slaughte. Ye have condem ned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.” Janies 5 :1-6. “ But they that will be rich fell into temptation and a snare, and into mauy foolish and hurtful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil; which Mhile men coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierbed themselves through with many sor rows.” I Tim. 6:9 to. According to the above Scrip- tures it is a very dangerous thing indeed to be rich. However, mul titudes of men desire riches above everything else on the face of the earth. Multitudes of poor people want riches. They think if they were only rich they would be hap py. This is absolutely untrue. Please show me a rich man who is bappv. If there is any happiness connected with riches it is by giv ing one’s riches away. Sometimes men do that. Thev realize that their riches are sinkin them down to hell, therefore feel tbe great need of Christ and salvation, and know the only way to be saved is to part with their riches.. It is a blessing in disguise to the majority ot mankind to be poor. They have a better chance at salva tion, heaven and eternal life as a consequence. Not only that, but out of tbe poor class of people usu ally come out best, greatest, nob lest citizens; our Christian citizens; our finest and best ministers of the Gospel, teachers, inventors, and those who amount to most in life. It is a law of God and nature that a man must bustle, labor, toil, if he is to rise to life’s best, grandest and most sublime. We realize that our best students in school are al most always the poor boys and girls. Thev have to struggle to meet expenses and to get an educa tion. And as thev obtain knowl* edge they realize the importance of using it to advantage. Many of them become onr best and greatest poets and authors. Others go forth in life to fill responsibles places and Carload Of Army Shoes Converted Into Fertilizer Carloads of Army shoes in good condition are being sold for scrap and ground into fertilizer while the Administration is spending millions of dollars for new shoes to send a- broad as part of its global relief plans Representative Calvin John, son. Republican, Illinois, charged in Congress recently. The disclosure were made to send abroad as part of its global re lief plans, Representative Calvin Johnson, Republican, Illinois, charged in Congress recently. The disclosure w as made 1 0 House members during debate on a proposed $3 ,920,000,000 for lend lease and the United Nations Re habilitation and Relief Administra tion for tbe 1943 fiscal year. Congressman Johnson charged tbe turning of good shoes into fer. ttlizer at a time when footwear was rationed at home and being bought for distribution abroad was inde fensible and typical of New Deal waste and inefficiency. Exhibiting a pair of Army shoes shipped in open coal cars to the Smitb-Rowland Co , fertilizer ma. nufacturers at Granite City, 111., the Congressman noted they were only recently half-soled and bad new rubber heels. “It appears that these shoes ate sold for scrap. At the same time, we find UNRRA is asking Congress for$2 i5,000,000 to buy shoes and other apparel for destitute people in Europe, and the Army is asking additional millions for the same purpose.” $64 Unanswered Question A $64 unanswered question: Would Biddle give a clean bill of health to a "Political Action Com mittee” formed by the National As sociation of Manufacturers or tbe United States Chamber of Commerce and financed with an “initial” fund of $700,000 to bring about the de feat of fourth - termers and New Dealers? Tbsy keep fighting- Yen keep bnying IVAk BONDS to bless their country. And we find likewise that it is from the poor class of people that the Gospel is accepted and suppor ted usually. Of course sometimes the rich and wealthy give much for a show, or maybe to help ease a guilty conscience. However, the poor people are the most liberal, as they seem to have tbe most love for God and humanity. I have bean preaching for a little more than thirty-one years, and have been a writer longer than that, and my experience that the truth which I have preached and written to the world has been supported by the poor class of people with but very little exception. Tbe offer ings which I have received to en able me to go on preaching and writing God’s truth to the world are from poor people. Some of them have no home. Some may own a home, but certainly they are far from being rich. They give ont of their small earnings cheerfully and liberally, and feel happy in the meantime May God bless each and every one and make them a blessing. YOUR WAR BOND D o U tO iA A Scene And A Moral Thousands of women, estimated as being somewhere between 5,000 and and 10,000, stood in line for hours, shoved and jostled each other the while, in Greensboro the other dav wnen the United States Marshal put 4,800 pairs of nylon stockings on sale after they had been confiscated. When word got out that the hosi ery was to be sold with a limitation of three pairs to each customer, $10,- 000 in money orders, checks and cashed, rolled into the Marshal’s of fice from all over the country. AU of this had to be returned ex cept such as came from eager would* be buyers in the middle Federal dis trict of North Carolina to whom (be sales were to be limited. The women of Greensboro and the surrounding environs who exposed themselves for these long hours of impatient waiting in the broiling sun for the sale to be opened are no different from those elsewhere in the country. We are reasonably sure that the same scene would have been repeat ed here or in any other community of tbe Nation if the same opportu nity had arisen. One could only wish that more of the women 'of America, as multiple millions of them are already, would demonstrate the same sort of excited enthusiasm in lending themselves, to every possible degree, to the ser vices of war on the home front as thev sometimes exhibit in serving their personal tastes and interests. For instance, the Red Cross here and across the country generally bas had great difficulty in securing en ough women workers who are daily needed in its sewing and surgical dressing rooms. There haB been no stampeding by tbe women to crash the doors of these places where such invaluable service can be rendered for the men who are fighing for the Nation’s sur vival and for the world’s freedom over the face of the whole worlds It would be quite a task, too, to re cruit between 5,000 and 10,000 wo men in Greensboro or in Charlotte or in Charlotte or even in much larger centers of population to walk the streets in tbe hot sun, as they stood for hours under its melting intensity waiting for their nylons, helping to seil War Bonds in the present cam paign. It’s tbe comparison between the war services whieh the women can render, and millions are faithfully rendering, but which so many others are failing to render, that makes the defaulting few show up so un favorably. Nvlon stockings are eminently de sirable, of course. The women can hardly get any at all and they want them. They have every right in the world to get them and to have them, all things else being equal. But there’s the rub: AU things else are not equal now. They are extremely unequal. There’s a saying which is becom ing somewhat ancient now. b u t which is everlastingly apropos, a- propos, about the fellow who com plained bitterly that his shoes were hurting his feet until he met a man who bad no feet to be hurt by ill- fitting shoes. Perhaps, if more Americans, men and women, were thinking a little more considerately of the tens of thousands ef our sons and fathers and husbands who are being bereft of even life itself by the cruel and merciless gashings of this was, they would be less anxious about the per ishable goods of which they are now being temporarily denied and more willing to endure these trivial depri vations—Charlotte Observer Fighting this global war and getting ready for it has cost tbe American people $199,940,000,000 since July 1, 1944, or about $240,' 500,000 a day.

Not Moch Left For Support On New Deal From tbe way legitimate labor, farmers, industrialists, small busi ness men, such as grocers, meat market operators, for a fourth term it appears that the only support the New Deal can count on now is an outgrowth of the New Deal and payrollers, several million strong, there seems to be no real support left for tbe New Deal. But—so far far as financial aid is concerned— the C. I O. will, if necessary, fur nish millions in cash' and if the purchasing of votes by New Dealers can be continued as in tbe past this may prove to catch more suckers, but in the end with the concerted opposition to be found everywhere tbis year we are certain that after the November election tbe New Deal will be a dead pigeon. —Quin cy, III., Record. New Deal Should Set Example Successive reductions in quotas have cut newspapers approximately 75 per cent of tbe newsprint they were using in 1941. As a result, dailies have been compelled to re fuse advertising in order to continue giving tbe public its full quota of news, and have also imposed re strictions on accepting new subscrip tions. In the face of this increasingly serious newsprint problem Govern ment agencies continue the distribu tion of millions of bulletins and tbe printing of reports which a Demo cratic Senator asserts “no o n e reads. ” This Senator bss introduced a bill in Congress to relieve various Federal bureaus of compiling re ports. thereby "saving thousands of dollars’ wasted efforts, as well aa sorely needed newsprint ” The Office of War Information dis. closed in a recent 28-page press re lease that the flrod of directives, re gulations. press releases and other regulatory communications issued by Federal agencies is expected to consume 235,000 tons of paper dur ing 1944!

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. le t's Face Facts Steadier Farm Incomes Throughout the World Proposed in New Plan By BARROW LYONS — WNU Staff Correspondent I Barrow Lyons WASHINGTON, D. C. While American industry is strengthening its position in world trade through promotion of inter national cartels, it might be a good idea for farmers to take a look at the world agricultural situation to discover how their interests are in volved. First, however, if there is any doubt about the future of world car tels, think back to the days in the early 1890s when liberals and pro gressives were shouting against the “tru sts”— those great indus trial and banking combinations that bossed congress and legislatures, and generally showed a “public be damned” atti tude toward consumers. In 1910, the industrial commis sion, the first congressional body to investigate monopolies, held that great combinations of industry were here to stay, and that it would be inadvisable to “bust” them. Con trol in the public interest was recommended. There may be some question as to how effective social controls have been, but the great combinations are still here. We have reached a similar point now in relation to international car tels. We are not going to break them up, no matter how much our liberals may desire it. In fact, we are going to assist in the organiza tion of cartels, possibly before the war ends. Farmers Must Decide Obviously, it is time for farmers to begin to think internationally in respect to agriculture, for if they don’t, the food processors will do their thinking for them. Let us take a brief look at the wheat marker, for that is still the chief farm prod uct in international trade. Lee Marshall, WFA director of distribution, on a recent visit to Kan sas boasted that on July I we would enter the crop year with a carry over of about 300,000,000 bushels of wheat compared with about 40,000,- 000 bushels on July I, 1918, during \ the last year of World War I. But , what happened after the last war? Almost every nation during the war increased its wheat acreage, and after the war surpluses began to pile up year after year until the price of wheat was so low, no wheat farmer could operate profit ably. We may dispose of this sur plus to a hungry Europe, but world wheat productive capacity is today far beyond world economic power to purchase. Now we are seeking security of farm income. If there is a world surplus of wheat after the war, as there is very likely to be after a few years of rebuilding, it will re-' quire a lot more than passing a few laws to keep wheat at parity. Depression for wheat farmers would be like an infection which recog nized no national boundaries. Insurance Fund So the idea has been advanced, that an international insurance fund be set up to protect agricultural in come throughout the world from the extremes of the economic cycle. This fund would perform three ex tremely important functions: 1. It would obtain from participat ing countries periodic reports on production, inventories, current marketings and probable demand for agricultural commodities which enter foreign trade in largest vol umes. These data would make pos sible the determination of normal' production, consumption, price lev els and trends, and would form the basis for intelligent international and national planning in relation to the commodities covered; 2. The fund would stockpile agri cultural commodities that are im portant in world trade when crops were good, and distribute these when crops were poor, thus creating more even flow of materials enter ing world trade. This would have a stabilizing influence to world com mercial relations. And, 3. The fund would accumulate cash through assessments on nation al governments, when income was high, and distribute cash when in come was low, thus helping to main tain more stable income and pur chasing power for the great mas,- -of producers of agricultural prod ucts throughout the world. This idea has been worked out in some detail by Dr. Morris A. Cope land, chief of the munitions division bureau of planning and statistics of the War Production board. Probably by the time Dr. Cope land’s plan has reached the diplo matic level it will be something -al together different. But until some thing like this is done, the danger of chaotic world agricultural con ditions will be a distinct threat—not just to foreign farmers—but to every American farmer as well. If, through his farm organiza tions, the American farmer should take an interest in international in come stability, on a reasonably high level, he would be moving in the direction of self-protection.

THE circus-like atmosphere which surrounded the Tam O’Shanter All-American golf championships for the past three tournaments will be missing this year. Scheduled for August, the Tam O’Shanter will be conducted with all the traditions of this dignified Scotch game. It will be like those staged by the U. S. G. A. — instead of George S. May. May used a full bag of tricks for the first three championships. Most of them were frowned upon by the U. S. G. A. and by many of the players who weren’t enthusiastic about the innovations. In fact, George S. and the numerous specta tors were the only happy people con cerned. The Tam meets were na tionally known as “golf circuses” and have been referred to in a na tional magazine as “Golf Without Elephants.” But they drew the largest galleries in the history of golf in this country. Entertainment Angle Despite the professional and purist attitudes toward May’s shows, he did try to supply a full measure of entertainment for the cash customers. Many of his experi- GEORGE S. MAY ments were a complete break with tradition, and that always invites censure. But now May is willing to comply with the regulations of the U. S. G. A. and the P. G. A. There will be less showmanship this year —the Tam will be golf only. But one innovation isn’t going by the boards. That’s the one dollar admission fee. More than anything, that low price helped popularize the Tam. In 1943 admission was through the purchase of a one dol lar war stamp. The money was handled by treasury department workers. This year May is going back to the one dollar admission, which will absorb the heavier fed eral amusement tax. Which means that just about anybody can afford to witness the event. We’re glad to see that May has decided to discard his policy of num bering players. From the beginning he thought that if players wore numbers on their shirts which correspond with those on the pro gram, identification would be made easier for the galleries. Much in the manner of football elevens. Kirkwood Rebellion The idea was decidedly unpopular among a majority of the players. They figured it undignified. In 1942 Joe Kirkwood, Australian trick shot artist, quit the tournament because of a dispute with Mr. May. Kirk wood refused to wear his number. A satisfactory compromise has been reached. This year the numbers will be affixed to the players’ bags and to their caddies.May also has announced that he will abide by the U. S. G. A. ruling which prohibits amateurs from ac cepting more than $100 maturity value in war bonds as prize money. Last year he offered more than that, figuring the official ruling was too severe. Not that he has changed his mind about the amount. He had planned amateur prizes of consider able value this year, but the U. S. G. A. could not be placated and so May will adhere to its regu lations. Then, too, there will be no extra exhibition matches, such as were played last summer and which were sources of irritation. A Debt to May It is obvious that the Tam is going to be a businesslike golf tourna ment. That will do much to give the event the position it deserves in golf. We have maintained that golf is indebted to May. While many others folded up as soon as the war started, May did much to keep championship golf alive. He pro vided leadership which was sadly lacking in too many quarters. The Tam O’Shanter still offers the largest amount of prize money ever known in golf. And that draws en tries like sugar draws flies. SPORTS SHORTS «.

Eight of his m en were killed while fleeing for shelter, and Old 99, with m any other Forts, was dem olished on the ground. After escap* Ing to Australia, what is left of the squad* ron flies to Java, where they go on many m issions over the Philippines and the Java sea. The hoys In Java hear what happened Co the Marblehead and the Houston and m orale sags. Bud Sprague, who got his com m ission in the morning, dies that afternoon. The Japs take BaU Arid, and all. Java Is caving in. Sergt W arrenfeltz volunteers for a very dan* gerous m ission. QUEENS DIE PROUDLY I T J L rT J A itH W-N.U.FEATURES CHAFTEB XVIII “I had only four bombs—we hadn’t had time, to load more before the air-raid alarm blew and we’d had to clear off the field—so I sighted on the last ship and let go all four in a stick. “If you’re dropping instantaneous fuse bombs, of course you see the splash of deck planking and debris the instant it hits, but it doesn’t do much damage—all on the surface. But these were delayed-action fuses. Prom that altitude there isn’t much to see when they first crack the deck. There’s a little pause, and then there’s the sweetest geyser of deck splinters, and foam, and ma chinery, and Japanese infantry cor porals you’d ever hope to gaze down at. As I think I said, we blew her stern off. I kept peeking back un til the debris subsided, and I could see solid blue water between the two halves of the ship. “We got back to Madiun Field just in time to take off in the face of three strafing Zeros, our side gun ner—a National Guard boy we’d picked up in Java; the rest of his outfit all stayed and got captured— knocking one of them down almost before we got our wheels up. When the other two went away we re landed, and found a bomb some where had knocked our electricity out. We had to refuel by hand, us ing flashlights. Also we were us ing them trying to repair our brakes when all of a sudden came a terrific Bang! It shook the ship so badly it knocked one guy off the wing, and he fell face-down on the field. Of course we were sure that the Japs, seeing our flashlights, had dropped a bomb. But no. Oh, no! Tt was just the methodical Dutch, carefully scorching the earth by blowing up our ammunition dump, which by some miracle we weren’t near at the time. “It seemed the order had just come through to evacuate, because the Japs were coming, and what with the language difficulty, this was their way of announcing it. The funny thing was, for weeks they’d had a gang of men working to im prove that field and repair the run ways. These guys kept right on sweating away up until the minute the order to evacuate came through —then they went ahead sweating just as hard to blow up what they’d just been fixing. “We were jittery — been going through a lot of strafing—but finally got our plane refueled, and loaded twenty-four men aboard. We still had no brakes on the right wheel, but we all hoped together in unison that we’d clear the runway. We did. “It was two o’clock in the morn ing. As we climbed for altitude we could see refineries flaming all over the island—fires and explosions—and as we circled the field in the dark for the last time, the Dutch down below us threw a switch and blew up that beautiful new concrete hang ar. It had huge arches like a bridge span, control tower, and everything —it all came rolling up at us in a parting salute. “Now we were headed for Aus tralia, buzzing along at about 10,000 feet.’’ ‘Getting into Broome, Australia, we began to worry about that bust ed brake, and the momentum we would have when we hit the field with all these men aboard. We could lighten ship by having the guys bail out, but the trouble was we had only nine chutes. But when the pilot called the airport, they re ported they had one runway which ran uphill and was soft at the far end—perfect for us, so we made a beautiful landing.” ‘I was still back in Surabaya,” said the pilot, Frank Kurtz, “be cause I had a couple of jobs to do. The day we got Warrenfeltz off in the Corregidor relief ship, the Colo nel had told me he was leaving Ma lang for Jokyakarta—the town we called Jockstrap—and that I’d bet ter join him there and he’d send me out to Australia. AU the other boys of the 19th were going that day. “But I asked him if I couldn’t stay over just a little longer. I was think ing of the fighter pilots. No one was looking after them; they had abso lutely no liaison. When a place is cracking up, everybody tends to think of themselves. Why bother about the fighters? They got in, didn’t they? Well, let them get out again. The trouble was the fighters had got in with beUy tanks, hop ping via Timor and Bali, which were now held by the Japs. “The Colonel said I was absolute ly right—maybe I could help them. ‘You’re under your own orders,’ he said. ‘I leave it to your discretion as to how and when you come out. Best of luck.’ “It wasn’t until I’d hung up that I realized that when the 19th had left Java, there wouldn’t be any way for me to get out. The hotel by now was emptying fast of foreign uni forms—I’d bade the first echelon of our Navy goodby. Poor old Java was being left to sink by herself, but since the newspapers were still about four days behind the actual news, the people didn’t realize it yet. Things were moving fast. “That day we heard a big Jap force was closing in off the north coast, headed for the Java beaches. We got reports from scout planes, even from submarines, but we didn’t know just how big it was. Because hanging over it was a Jap fighter screen so thick that our recco planes didn’t dare fly through to see. “We got a few reports from a tiny island which lies out in the Java Sea north of Surabaya, but ominously its radio went dead. We realized the Japs had put a landing force ashore there. “That night out went the tiny Dutch Navy—it was all they had left—which pounded them under cov er of darkness and then pulled away. \f There’s a little pause, and then there’s the sweetest geyser of deck splinters. It did some good, because in the morning we found the Jap advance guard, which had been headed right for Java’s beaches, now pulled back a little, under that bomber-and- fighter screen, waiting for the main force to come on up. “Colonel Eubank was now in Jock strap, and by telephone I put a prob lem up to him. The position of our fighter pilots in Java was hopeless now—any minute their field would be hit by Jap bombers and put out of operation. I wanted them to turn their P-40’s over to the Dutch fight er pilots (who had nothing left now but three Hurricanes which had been rescued from Singapore) and come on out to Australia with us where we could continue the war. “Further air defense in Java was hopeless. We had broken camp at Malang—Jap bombers were swarming over the island. “But Van Oeyen, the Dutch com mander, wouldn’t listen. He was a stout old infantry officer, and he had given orders to fight to the last. “We had to plead our viewpoint with Van Oeyen. Yet it would be hard to explain to men who were defending their homes and families in this beautiful island, whose lives, when it fell, would be over. “That night, fifty miles off Sura baya, the naval battle was resinned. The main Japanese invasion force, ringed by submarines, was headed for our beaches. At midnight the United Nations Navy moved in to throw their little all into the balance. This final night the Dutch struck no glancing blow. It was now or nev er. They moved in and fought them toe to toe, the Australians at their side. It was pitiful, of course, and hopeless, as all of them knew. But the gallant Dutch preferred to die fighting out in the night rather than go skulking home to wait lor the Hising Sun tanks to come, rattling down their streets. “Side by side, the Dutch and the Australians plunged through that outer ring of Jap submarines. The American forces took up the last defensive position, skirting the Jap back edge, firing on the run. It was our duty not to dissipate our selves in lost causes, but to do what damage we could, and conserve our strength to strike again. “Java died that night in the gun fire which came rolling in over the water. It took until dawn for the Jap battle fleet to crunch to bits the Dutch and Australian navies. “But early the morning before I had put in a telephone call to Amer ica. It was to Margo, but it was government business and the Dutch, when they understood what it was about, said they would pay the charges themselves. They said the connection might not be made until midnight. I privately wondered if it would go through at all. Java was collapsing fast all around us. “But I said I’d take it whenever it came, knowing I’d get no sleep that night—maybe little sleep for many nights. So at midnight I start ed for the telephone office. Just as I was leaving the hotel I ran into Commander Peterson of the Navy’s Patrol Wing 10. By now he was al most the sole survivor. He seemed surprised to see me, told me he was just leaving for his plane—the last of the Navy was leaving Java. He asked how I !expected to get out. I said I didn’t know. ‘Come with me now,’ he said, ‘and I’ll take you out to Australia.’ I couldn’t. There was that telephone call. And also I mustn’t leave those American fight ers to be swallowed up in the col lapse tomorrow. So I thanked him; we said goodby. “Walking to the telephone build ing I could hear a dull rumble in the hot midnight air coming from far over the water. The few people in the blacked-out streets assumed it was distant thunder. I knew it was the little Dutch Navy in its final agony out there in the dark. “Then I waited in that dim-lit mosquito-filled telephone building for that call. Sitting on a bench, with the help of a flashlight I made my notes for the call. Then I paced the floor.. Each time the window opened, letting out a little light, I was sure the half-caste girl was telling me the call had been com pleted. I had other pressing busi ness, but none more pressing than this. I thought of the eager face of the boy just before he went out into what looked like almost certain death.” “From Florida,” said Margo, “I could hear the telephone operators working, setting up that line all around the world, from here where it was noon to midnight in the trop ics. And finally Frank’s own voice. ‘Have you got paper and pencil?’ he asked. ‘Now take down this name: Mrs. W H. Warrenfeltz, of Hagers town, Maryland. Her son Bud is going on a mission and he wants her to know there probably will be some money deposited to her ac count in the Hagerstown bank from New York. Tell her Bud sends his love to Billy, Jane, and all, and of course to her. He wants her to use half the money to buy her home, and the rest is for her to live on, and he wants her to be happy, however it comes out.’ ” “Then I told Margo the boy was going on a most dangerous mission. We didn't know how dangerous until after he left, for his course took him right across the path of the main Japanese fleet. And now,” Frank said bitterly, “this little story has a happy ending, so far as the War Department’s auditors are con cerned. Because the five thousand dollars which Bud Warrenfeltz thought his mother was going to get, when he went out to face the Japa nese fleet, was never paid. It never cleared through the New York banks before Java fell. I suppose those New York bankers were more pru dent than Bud, and took no chances on Java paper. So Bud’s mother didn’t get any money, and even Bud himself never got through to Manila. Let’s hope he’s a Jap prisoner.” “After I’d written down the mes sage to Mrs. Warrenfeltz, it seemed that Frank just wanted to visit,” said Margo. “Of course it was won derful to talk to him, because for some reason there didn’t seem to be any censors clicking in on the line.” “The censors had all caught the boat,” explained Frank. “In a few hours the Japs would have Java, so it didn’t much matter what they knew.” “But after we talked about fifteen minutes I began to worry,” said Margo. “Living on an Air Corps salary, you have to think of money. As we talked I couldn’t help think ing it was six dollars and a half for every minute, and I said we’d bet ter hang up. Then he explained we could talk all we liked, because it was a government call.” “I didn’t tell her what govern ment it was on,” said Frank. “She didn’t know that the Japanese were taking over tomorrow, and they would get the bill.” “After that it was wonderful;” said Margo. “Frank was coming through as clearly as if he were in a pay station downtown. He told me there would be no more calls for a while, and from that I guessed that maybe in a week or so the Air Corps would be retiring to Australia. I didn’t dream that the Japanese were already just off the beach, that Frank didn’t know how he could get out. “He talked a lot about a letter he’d written me months ago from the Philippines, a few days after the first Japanese attack, when he thought there was no chance of his getting out alive—explaining that while he’d meant every word of it, yet he’d been tired when he wrote it, so I was not to take it too seri ously.

Repub licans fired their first campaign sal vo at President Roosevelt with an assertion be was using his title of commander in chief to “perpetuate him self’ In office. National Republican Chairman Herbert Brownell, Jr., put that in- terpetatio’n upon the President’s statement that, if renominated by the national Democratic conven tion at Chicago next week, he would accept as a “good soldier.” Brownell who met reporters alter conferences with Governor Thomas E Dewey, Republican presidential nominee, was asked whether he bad any comment on the Presid- ent’s announcement. Reading from a prepared state ment, previously seen by Dewey, Brownell said: Mr. Roosevelt is the first of 32 Presidents of the United States to claim that the title of commander in chief makes him a soldier and to use that title as a pretext to perpe tuate himself in political office.” “On November 4 , 1940, Mr. Roosevelt made this statement— ’You will have a new President in 1944’,” Brownwell continued, add ing: “ When he said that, he was right.” Brownell emphasized the state ment was his own, but said Gov ernor Dewev had perused it with out comment during breakfast at the executive mansion. After bis conferences with Brown ed, Dewey talked with Samuel F. Pryor of Counecticut, eastern cam paign manager for Wendell L. Willkie in 1940, and Irving M. Ives is mentioned as a possible cau date for the United States Senate seat now occupied by Robert F. Wagner, New York City Demo crat. From New Guinea Promoted To Captain Raleigb W.

June 24 1944 Dear Mr. Stroud:—Mail call is about the only thing we have to look forward to over nere, and getting a “ Davie Record” is just about as good as getting a letter from every person in Davie county The Davie Record has that “old personal touch” that the other pa pers don’t have. Sherman could easily have said the same thing abont New Guinea, but there are worse places. We are getting good food now, so ov erseas life isn’t as rough as it is sometimes pictured. The bovs on the front lines are the men that live in chaos all of the time. These boys are not getting the glory they rightfully deserve. Mosquitoes are the happiest of all living matter on New Guinea at the present. Tbev thiive on the fresh blood from the States. The mosquitoes here are different from the ones in the States; they go at things on a very large scale. I was never so surprised in my life as when a squadron of mosquitoes, equipped with belly tanks, came out to meet us and escorted us to New Guinea. They love that fresh blood. If there were some way to sterilize the mosquitoes here, our problem for blood plasma would be over. Please forgive mv story on the mosquito because I am guilty of “ large scale bull” at times, myself Getting back to the serious side, I am still Mess Sergeant of the 193rd. I get steak for the boys as often as I can, and steak on New Guinea is a swell treat. Thanks again for the paper. Sincerely, PETER W.

MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Pasture and Forage Important This Year Lime and Fertilizer BooSt Crop, Improve Quality The supply of feed grains rela tive to livestock and poultry num bers promises to be less favorable Si 1944'than it has been for several years. As a result, farmers should plan to take every possible advan tage of pasture and forage crops in arder to produce the volume of dairy and poultry products needed Bus year* according to the War Food administration. One of the best ways to increase !production of pasturage and forage, and at the same time to improve She quality, the WFA says, is to apply more lime and superphos phate on pasture and hay land. The 1944 conservation program of the Agricultural Adjustment agency is designed to stimulate increased Ose of both these materials. In most of the United States east oI the Great Plains, and in some of the higher mountain areas and the areas of heavy rainfall in the Pacific Northwest, the WFA says, it is aecessary to add lime to the soil in order to grow such legume crops as alfalfa, red clover, and sweet clover. The legumes are considered desirable for two reasons. They pro duce heavier crops of more nutri tious hay than most of the non competition from war crops has H ide the legume and grass seed sreps problem a serious one. Ecserves have gone and it will be accessary to conserve all present acreage as well as provide in some aam et for additional seed. Segume grasses. Also, because of their ability to absorb nitrogen from Mie air and, through their roots, lransfer it to the soil, they increase soil fertility. When superphosphate is used as top-dressing for pastures and hay Sand, it enables the more desirable, more nutritious, and more palatable Segumes and grasses to crowd act the poorer varieties. In a num ber of tests, pastures supporting mostly poverty grass and broom- aedge were top-dressed with super phosphate. Kentucky bluegrass and white clover then tended to crowd out the poorer plants. Neither' lime nor superphosphate can do the job of the other, nor can both together take the place of other elements of good land management, flie WFA warns. But on soils which Tequire both, each adds to the effectiveness of the other. Eight-Year Old Boy Is Tractor Driver _ A 13-year-old boy was seen oper- Sng a tractor on his father’s farm In Greene county. It was his fifth season as a tractor operator, which means he began at the tender age sf eight, according to T. L. Davis, University of Illinois. The farm consists of about 160 acres. The boy’s father has been a tenant on it for many years. Father and son comprise the man power. Mother and two sisters do their part. The boy takes great pride in his work, and when school ss in session he even gets in a few Mcks mornings and evenings. The stanmer vacation gives him a great opportunity for his favorite occupa tion. It is not unusual to see women doing farm work in this county, the Iarm wives doing a turn. A recent survey showed about 75 of them in ihe fields. Fifty boys and girls were aEso doing field work, many of the boys being less than 12 years old. Killing Poison Ivy H the poison ivy plants are sprayed with a solution of sodium chlorate in the proportion of one quart of crystals to three gallons of •water, the plant will usually die after the first application. If life is still evident, however, a second ap plication may be given in a few -weeks. Food in Brick Form • What is said to be the largest ro- iary press in the world was installed at the Boughboy Mills at New Rich mond, Wis., for forming bricks of dehydrated food for the civilians freed from Nazi subjugation. The bricks are actually one-half Sie bulk of dehydrated food, meas uring 6 by 3 by 2 inches. Four cargo planes, loaded with 5,000 pounds each of these bricks could feed a million for one day. The -mill is making 250,000 daily. I Fruit Preparation Required Processing HStWtttr Bath lint 'a Minis ftesore Cookir S lbs.-run# in MiiiBlct Apples Wash, pare, core, cut in pieces.

Pack.35 10 Fruit Preparation and Processing Guide (See Directions Below) Canned Fruit If you want to assure your family of its basic seven fruit requirement, then busy yourself with putting up fruit at home. Fruits, commercially canned, have carried a high point value and this has made their serving in many families prohibi tive. But lucky indeed are those homes in which there are ample stocks of home- canned fruits. Fruit canning is infinitely more simple than vegetable canning. The reason for that is that fruits are acid and, therefore, can be sterilized more readily. A hot water bath is ideal for proc essing the fruit once it is in the jar. If you cannot obtain one, use a regu lar wash boiler, fitted with a rack to keep the jars a half inch from the bottom. A cover that fits tightly over the canner helps keep the steam in and does not waste fuel. Steps in Canning. 1. Select fruit in the peak of con dition. Your can will yield only what you put into it. 2. Wash fruit or berries carefully, pare and pit according to directions for fruit in the fruit canning chart given in this column. 3. Fruit is pre-cooked for several minutes in certain cases to shrink it, and to give you a better looking pack with as little floating as possi ble. 4. Use a light or medium type of syrup in which to pre-cook the fruit or cook in its own juice. 5. Pack fruit into hot, sterilized jars and add boiling syrup or fruit juice with which to cover the fruit. Most juice or syrup is added to with in one-half inch of the top of the jar. 6. Adjust the cap according to the instructions furnished by the manu facturer. He knows the type of seal ing it will need. 7. Process fruit either in the water bath or the pressure cooker accord ing to the time indicated on the can ning chart. For a boiling water bath, see that the water boils during the entire processing period. 8. As soon as the jars finish proc essing, remove them from the can- Lynn Says Canning ’Rithmetic: If the jars and fruit don’t come out even when you’re canning, better sit down and do some figuring before you start to can. Here are tips to help you: Apples—I bu. (50 lb.) cans 17-20 quarts. Apricots—4 basket crate (I bu.) cans 20-25 quarts. Berries—24 quart crate cans 15- 24 quarts. Cherries—I bu. (56 lb.) cans 20- 25 quarts. Grapes—I bu. (48 lb.) cans 16- 20 quarts. Peaches—I bu. (50 lb.) cans 18- 20 quarts. Pears—I bu. (58 lb.) cans 20-24 quarts. Pineapples—15 pineapples yield 30 pints. Plums—I bu. (56 lb.) cans 24-30 quarts. Tomatoes—I bu. (56 lb.) cans 15-20 quarts.

AU jars should not be inverted, so watch the manufacturers’ instruct tions on this point. Oven Canning. This year. I’m not recommending oven canning of fruits because war time restrictions in equipment have caused many changes to be made in jars and caps, and this method is not safe. Many women had acci dents last year and much fruit was spoiled. Play safe, and use the wa ter bath. Sugar Syrups. As long as sugar is still rationed, you’ll want to use it sparingly s« there’s enough for peaches as well as for plums and grape jelly in the fall. Wise homemak ers are using the thin or medium syrups, as these will mellow and ripen the fruit but still not consume too much of the precious sugar sup ply. Thin Sugar Syrup. I cup sugar 3 Yi cups water Bring to a boil, stirring only until sugar is dissolved. Keep hot but not boiling. Medium Sugar Syrup. 2 cups sugar 4 cups water. Follow directions above. Open Kettle Canning. Women who have canned for years on end, still prefer the old- fashioned, open- kettle method for canning fruits. It gives a luscious product, and if the canner is careful, no spoil age will develop. Care must be taken to wash and sterilize all uten sils carefully so that no bacteria will be introduced into the jars to work spoilage later. Unless you are experienced at can ning, I do not suggest you try this method, but if you do, h€re are the directions to observe: 1. Wash and sterilize all equip ment. This means jars, rubbers, spoons, spatulas, funnels, in fact, anything that comes in contact with the food. 2. Make sure the food has reached the boiling temperature before fill ing jars. Fill each jar to the brim as rapidly as possible. 3. Run a spatula down the sides of each jar after filling. Refill with more juice to the rim of the jar. 4. Seal completely, at once. If you wish additional instruction for canning fruit or berries, write to Mist Lynn Chambers, 210 South Desplaines Street, Chicago 6, Illinois.

WOMAN’S PART IN NATIONAL LIFE LESSON T E X T -Judges 4:1-», 13-1®. GOLDEN TEXT—Who knoweth whether thou art com e to the kingdom for such a tim e as this?—Esther 4:14. Women of our day have unprece dented liberty of action and almost limitless opportunity to show their ability to meet responsbility and to accomplish great things. They are measuring up to that opportunity both in the armed services and in the multitude of tasks they are creditably carrying on in civilian life. To those who seem surprised at their response to the nation’s need, the church could well testify that women have always served well in those things which count most for God and country. I. A Woman Can Rule (W. 1-5) God has established an order in the world which places woman where she best fits—in the home. There, under the guidance and with the help of her husband, she exerts her most powerful influence In the rearings of children. That is her normal, most effective and most blessed position. But all too often conditions In the world are not normal, and woman, like man, is thrown out of the cus tomary orbit of existence. Deborah faced such a day. Israel had sinned and been given over to the chas tising hand of the Canaanite. Then God heard their repentant cry and was ready to send a deliverer—as He did in the case of each of the judges. Apparently no man was ready to take up the responsi bility, or willing to thus serve God, and so He called Deborah. She sat under her palm tree and 'Israel came to her for judgment. She typifies many women who have been the leaders of their people, and her story has been an inspiration to women in the church. May many more be encouraged to take up the weighty problems of moral and social righteousness, which the men of our nation (and others) do not seem to care or dare to attack! II. A Woman Can Lead (vv. 6-9). Barak was a man of ability. Deborah gave him full credit for his capable service (5:1, 12), but evidently he lacked that initiatve which would send him into conflict with his people's enemies. Without Deborah he would not go (v. 8), under her leadership he was willing and courageous. It is easy to ridicule Barak, and no doubt he deserves some measure of censure, but let us not be too severe on him. When the records are all in, it will be known that many of the feats of courage, the high and noble decisions, the vic tories in the fields of science and culture, and particularly those things that have been accomplished in and through the church, were the result of the leadership of some woman. Many are the distinguished na tional and spiritual leaders whc have said that all they were and haa accomplished they owed to their mothers. Others speak with high ap preciation of a noble and inspiring wife. Think also of the many social and religious causes which have beer largely carried on by determined and sacrificial women. Yes, a wom an can lead, and often she must lead out to get the men to follow. Not all the pursuits of life are lived out in peace or in preparation for war. The time comes when battle must be joined, and then we see that III. A Woman Can Fight (vv. 13- 16). True it is that it was Barak wh< led his army, but he went out at the word of Deborah. Hers was the re sponsibility for strategy, for the de termining of that important D-day when the blow must be struck. The courage of women in the battles for country makes an inspir ing story. Not the least of that cour age has been shown by those who have quietly stood “by the stuff’ at home, who have bravely parted with their cherished loved ones who have borne the dark hours ol loneliness, uncertainty and often ol heart-piercing sorrow. They shal not be without their reward (se« I Sam. 30:24). This is the place to say a furthei word of appreciation of the womer, of the church who have fought sue! a valiant fight against liquor, sociai degradation, vice, evil politics, etc “Hats off to them!” May they be encouraged to go on. Then too, one ought to say a wort of'sad and earnest admonition tc those countless women who havt used their great freedom in our daj as a license to live wicked and un godly lives. They do not have tin courage to stand against the loosi moral standards, the common ac ceptance of intoxicants, the immod est apparel of the day. Christian women have the goldei opportunity of setting a fine patter: of useful living now.

They took possession of Saidor in New Guinea with its 300 acres of rubber trees. All Saidor rub ber normally goes to Aus tralia. Informed rubber officials Insist that when peace comes, our synthetic rubber plants will be fust as vital to the security of the American people as they are during the war period. They say that the amount of post-war synthetic which will be made in this country after the war will depend upon the total world demand for rubber and upon the crude prices established by plan- tation operators.

C We are all building a character of some kind. The building goes on from day to day, little by little, perhaps slow but sure. But the character we are building depends upon the material we are using. It is a sad fact that the vast multi tudes are using only evil, shoddy, sinful material; or at least they use more of such than they use of the genuine, Godgiven, substan tial and enduring. Hence the char acter they build crumples away. It cannot stand the mighty tests of time and eternity. No one can build a good, great, sublime char acter-one that is fit to live by, fit for others to pattern after, and fit to die by—out of bad habits, evil and sinful indulgences, and by ser ving the devil. Impossible! To build a good character requires the very best material. Only God has this material. The material the devil gives mankind to build with, is cheap, shoddy, weak, un wholesome. It is absolutely coun feit, although some of it may have the appearance of the genuine. No man has ever baen able to build a mighty, unshakeable, noble, sub lime, worthwhile, enduring, ever lasting charycter out of the devil’s material. Hence the importance of building ogt of God's good, won- dertul, enduring material. If we could only get people to see and realize this, we believe multitudes would change their building ma terial. The greatest work a man ever does is to build a mighty Christian character ad help others to build likewise. Nothing equals this. It stands far above learning, fame, renown and earthly glory; far a- bove wealth and aiches, beauty and popularity; far above high posit ions and the applause of men; far above fine homes, costly furnish ings, beautiful lawns and broad a- cres of land, well cultivated and highly productive. To build a good character before God and man, should be the supreme aim, plan and purpose of every soil. By do ing this we are In harmony with God, using His substantial mater, ial, :.nd thus helping others in like manner. When we are building a character for God we are winning souls to God, and leading upward and heavenward. Day by day we should build to- to our character much prayer, true obedience to God, the truth from His Holy Word, genuine honesty, love, faith, manliness and woman liness, noble principals, high ideals, peace, righteousness and holiness. This is indeed life’s better way. It is the wonderful way heavenward. Goodby Forever! Maid—I’m very sorry but Mrs. Brown said to tell you she’s not at home. Mrs. White—That’s all right.

Bureaucratic Humor Bureau heads are rather solemn, serious persons but they have their moments of humor when ther un. beud and play a joke or two. Their latest is the announcement that any body can bnv inner tubes now with, out asking any ration board any where. It is rather grim humor when you examine it. The joke is that just anybody can’t buy an automo bile tire, and the tubes in his worn tires are better than the casings. Also, the public is warned of de dining gasoline stocks, cautioned against long vacation trips on that A” two and a half gallons of ga soline a week, and asked to stay at home. But a person could make some use of this new inner tube freedom' He. might acquire one, put it a round his midrff, fill a tin tub with water, and sit in the tub In the backyard, imagining himself rol licking in the surf by the seaside, safe from drowning.

In its eight years of active life the depression agency spent Jio,- 136,743,293 of federal funds em ploying the otherwise jobless—a sum which would last for about 38 days of government spending for war. In the last year the works pro jects rdmicistration, has been in li quidation under the federal works works agency. AU WPA projecrs shut down a year ago, but some work continued in Puerto Rico and and the Virgin Islands. In total, about 8,500,000 persons were on the WPA rolls from its start in July, 1935, to Its continen tal shut-down on June 30 last year. In its peak year. In its peak year, 1939, the roll averaged 3,014,010 men and women. To match the federal outlay, other sources contributed $2,837, 713,394, briuging the total WPA outlay to almost $13,000,000,000 If Roosevelt Gets A Train, Gov.

Puli EXTRA BONDS Dewey Will Whip Roosevelt The announcement from the White House th a t President Roosevelt wants once again to be *'a good sold ier” and remain in the presidency for his fourth term was no news to the nation. Everybody has known ail along he wants to serve again— even for a fifth term, if possible. He said if the Democrats want to nominate him, he will accept; if the American people will serve. That most certainly iB no news. Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, congress woman from Connecticut, following a series of conferences at Albany. N. Y., hailed the 1944 nominee of the Republicans as “the invitable man for the U. S. A.” She was one of six Connecticut members of Congress who had a luncheon conference with Governor Dewey. When told thac President Roose velt has announced his desire to serve again. Governor DeWey made no comment but Wendell Willkie, the 1944 nominee, summed up the atti tude of a large number of Republi. cans when he said; “Is that news?” Other comment from Republicans: Senator Davis (RPa); ‘‘I know of no one in public life around Washington who didn’t believe Mr. Roosevelt would be a candidate. If he’s living, he’ll be a candidate for a fifth term.” Senator Cordon (R-Ore): "He has not only announced his candidacy but he’s written his platforw. I ap prehend that be may find a sizeable number of the electorate will agree with his heart that he should retire to his Hudson River home.” Senator Nye (R-ND): “I am a little surprised. I’m been playing a hunch the President would not be a candidate for re-election. But I don’t think it matters greatly. The Dewey-Bricker front is bound to be the winner.” Rep. Ploeser (R-M): "President Roosevelt and the New Deal clique have carefully planned the fourth term for four vears. Kour more years of Roosevelt probably would destroy the American republic. . . . ” Rep Hope (R Kan): ''Ithasbeen evident ever since the phoney third term draft that no one else in the party was to be permitted to attain a position of leadership which would make him an acceptable presiden tial candidate.” Rep. Talle (R-Iowa): “I am not surprised that the man who broke preced to obtain a third term is after a fourth term now. His ac tion is evidence that he has the urge to be permanent President.” Girlt 19, Weds Killer Newton, July 3—A 29-year-old man serving a 50 year prison term and a 19-year-old girl, who works in a cctton mill, were married here yesterday. The convict, Gaston Norris, cf Whiteville, has served only four years of his term. He was convict ed of second degree murder four years ago. The bride is Mildred Dsmeron of valdese. The ceremony was per formed in the prison camp yard, by Rev. J.

Iigious services for prisoners In the yard. Then she told her husband good, by and boarded a bus back to her home town. Norris has beeu married before. His former wife is married again This was the first marriage for the Valdese girl.

Here’s one I fig. ured out: “F. D. R —Father of Democracy’s ruination,” Dewey Meets Hie Needs The Republican national conven tion meeting in Chicago mU8t have had in mind the qualifications for the leader who is to hold the high office of President of the United States during the next fonr years as laid down by Captain Eddie Ricken- backer, ace flier and hero of two wars, when it nominated Governor Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, for President. Dewey possesses the requirements perfectly, it looks as if Captain Rick enbacker had him in mind when he listed, some time before the conven tion. the following: "A man who has convictions, with courage and character, to put them into action. "A man who will not cater to or coddle minorities or pressare groups. "A man who will think in terms of the welfare of the great American majority. “A man who will recommend a- mending our labor laws to protect the American laboring men and wo men from racketeers and false lead* ership. “A man who will respect BtateB’ rights. "A man who will guarantee to re* turn all delegated wartime power to the eleeted representatives of the people when the war is over. ' A man who will surround him self with America’s nblest men and women. "A man who will eliminate bu- reaucracy to the minimum. “A man who will reduce and keep Government within th e earning power of the people to pay. ” A man who will think in terms of America first in order that America will last, as Churchill. Stallin and Chiang Kai-shek thinks of their own. ''A man who will co-operate with other peoples of the world to insure a lasting peace, but not at the ex pense of the American people alone. “A man who believes in free en* terprise and our form of govern, ment. "A man whom the American peo* pie can believe after he iB elected as well as before. ‘A man who will add the fifth freedom to the Atlantic charter, the freedom of opportunity.” No Secret “It isn’t necessary to live things down,” says Robert Quillen. Just keep quiet and people soon forget whether it was you or some other fellow ” Just for this once. Robert Quillen is wrong. There is at IeaBt one per* son in every community with a pho tographic memory for things which are none of his or her business. If you ever filched a quart out of your mamma’s pocketbook to. buy ice cream cones, if you ever played hookey from school, took your best boy’s girl friend out for a good time, got a little high on a nice party or had a baby out of season, this per son will have heard about it has stored it in those cranial folds which are popularly credited as being the seat of memory, and will haul out the facts when occasion demands. The occasion? Such people usually have decided weaknesses of their own, and they will use the short comings of others to cover up their particular sinnings. Whenever they are reminded of their faults they are apt to lean back in their rockers, fold hands over their bellies, recite the sins of tbeir contemporaries, and sanctimoniously wind up with the ob servation that “I ain’t so bad after all." Few of us are perfect, and these few, we are told are hard to live with. Better not try to "live tbines down,” but live according to the book best as you can, and if you fail short of the mark make no secret of it. For it’s no use.

THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVTLLE. N. C. Let's Face Facts R epublicans Prom ise F arm ers F air Share O f N ational Incom e By BARROW LYONS ■ WNt/ Staff Correjpondenf— — Barrow Lyons WASHINGTON, D. C. There is a plank in the Republican agricultural platform that goes to the heart of what the farm er wants. It reads: ' lWe propose . . . an Am erican m arket price to the Amer ican farm er and the protection of such price by m eans of support prices, commodity loans, or a com bination thereof, together with oth er m eans as will assure an income to agriculture that is fair and equita ble in comparison with labor, busi ness and indus try. We oppose su b sid ie s as a substitute for fair m arkets.” One need re flect on this only a little to realize how far the farm er and the Republican party has moved from traditional moorings at the post of the good old law of supply and demand as the principle price determ inant. Although the plank does not mention parity prices, viewed in the light of this plank’s history, parity price and parity in come are implied. It m eans that the organized farm er realizes that to prosper, a way m ust be found to control farm prices, and that farm income m ust be held in fair relation to the income of labor and business. Of course, this m eans that an equitable share should go also to labor and to business. Obvi ously, this calls for national machin ery to determ ine w hat income actu ally is going to the various segments of society. Congress is the only body in a po sition to pass final judgm ent on what is a fair share for each, al though labor and business m ay raise objections because about 74 per cent of the congressmen come from rural areas. Anyhow, if the implications of this plank are squarely faced, it holds promise both for the farm er and for the city worker. This plank does not sound as though it had been written by any interests that desire to purchase farm products at low prices, such as the m illers or m eat packers. Governor Bourke B. Hickenlooper of Iowa, who was the chairm an of the Republican agricultural subcommit tee which drafted the farm planks, assured m e in a long interview in Chicago that no pressure was brought upon the committee by com m ercial interests to influence the farm plank. “The committee held regional hearings in Chicago, Salt Lake City and New York,” he said, “and no where was it approached by milling, packing or railway interests—at least to the best of my knowledge, and I think I would know.” This idea of protecting the farm er’s share of national income prob ably is typical of the rejuvenated Re publican party. Superficially it does not fit into the picture of the Repub lican party as the party of the great industrial interests. It implies that the share of the farm er has beeD too sm all in the past, which can only m ean that the share of someone else has been too great. Stand on Labor At the hearing held by the agri cultural subcommittee it was clear that the Grange and the F arm ers TInion felt that the share of m any underpaid industrial workers had not been too great. The American F arm Bureau federation has not tak en as generous a stand toward labor. Certainly, the plank needs definition and clarification in respect to some of its implications. Governor Hick- enlooper said he believed industry w as beginning to accept the idea that adequate income for the farm er and industrial worker was good for industry also. Another extrem ely interesting plank is that which declares for "ar rangem ents which will enable farm-? ers to m ake necessary adjustm ents in production of any given basic crop, only if domestic surpluses should become abnormal and exceed m anageable proportions.” Apparently there is a lim it even to the political concept of an economy of abundance. It m ay be presumed that one of the evidences of surpluses becoming unm anageable would be the tendency for m arket prices to fall below support price. , In other words, production is to be controlled only when development of new uses for a commodity, gov ernm ent purchases of surpluses and commodity loans fail to do the job. We hope those rem edies never prove to be too late to sustain farm in come in “fair and equitable com parison with labor, business and in dustry.” “Sound irrigation projects admin istered as far as possible at state and regional levels,” is included in the last paragraph of the farm plat form. This is an extrem ely con troversial plank, and straddles a se rious conflict. In the Central Valley of California, where large corpora tion farm s have been highly devel oped, the big farm ers are anxious to modify the operation of the Rec lam ation act, which m akes it nec essary for farm s of m ore than 160 acres to dispose of the balance of land above that amount, if they re* ceive wtter (ram the new project, _ Big Pull Behind Allied Push Wm Not far behind the Allied Fifth and Eighth armies who are poshing the Germans out of Italy come the hundreds of refugee families who are tak ing the road back to their homes.

QVEENS DIE _ u -PROlfPJLY ^r s a s T E V/.N .U .T I CHAPTER XIX “When I said I hadn’t got it, he said if it ever did come through, I wasn’t to open it until he got back, or something like that. He’d m eant every word of it, and yet now it seem ed he didn't w ant m e to see it. I couldn't understand. But it didn’t seem to m atter. Because what did any letter m atter, now that we could talk, all we wanted to, around the world?” “It was long after midnight when we finished,” said Frank. “ But it w as some satisfaction to know it would cost the Japanese m aybe five hundred dollars, and I only hoped I ’d be out of Java so they couldn’t collect from me. “Then I got back to work on the Dutch m ilitary, who of course were up all that night. They knew what was coming tomorrow even if the civilians were only beginning to sus pect. It was two o’clock in the morning when I got M ajor Fisher out of bed with the news that al ready the landing barges of one flank of this invasion force had been sighted right off the beach. “After a final desperate call to the Dutch General van Oeyen, he agreed our boys m ight leave, turn ing their P-40’s over to the Dutch fighter pilots, provided that before they went they strafed the Jap land ing barges. Without verbal orders from the Dutch comm ander, they would not have gone. “So I rustled two cars and a truck to transport them , and by four o'clock we were headed for Gnoro. We got there a few m inutes before dawn, to find our boys were up and out on that final mission, although they did not know it was their last. 'Again we telephoned Van Oeyen in Surabaya to tell him the orders had been obeyed, and he told us re luctantly to bid them Godspeed and good luck; they had fought the good fight, and those who returned from this mission were now free to go to Australia. If there was a way. “I hoped there still would be. The Colonel had told m e the day before that if I could get them across Java —to Jockstrap—by noon, they would find three Fortresses which he had ordered back from Australia to pick them up. However, he couldn’t guar antee that these Forts would dare w ait on that field beyond noon. “As we stood on the Gnoro Field of course I got tense. Would those kids come back alive and in tim e to get across Java by noon? If we were late, would the bomber pilots get jittery and m aybe pull out without us? Not that I’d blam e them , for today no plane would be safe on any field in Java. “The Dutch pilots are grave, but they m ake us welcome. “Then comes the roar of P-40’s and here is the first flight—in out of the Rising Sun as though fleeing from it. Jack -Dale is its leader. We grab them . W hat happened? “It looks bad, they tell us. There were so m any barges. And when they started spraying them , the barges threw up horrible cones of fire, in great m asses. There was a cross fire, too—from Jap shore bat teries, already landed. At last they had set their ugly, crooked teeth into the fair white coastline of Java. “Then Jack said, in a low voice, ‘When in hell will we get out of here, Frank?’ “I said I had news for him, but just then the next flight comes roar ing in—it’s, three H urricanes flown by Dutch pilots, all that is left of the Dutch Air Force this final day, except of course they had plane- less pilots who were to take up our abandoned P-40’s. “Now here’s the third flight, buzz ing in low—P-40’s this tim e, and the American boys still have their old spirit left because they buzz up the drome, come roaring in right over the roof of the operations office—for a fighter pilot it’s like knocking at the door. They’re still the old I7th Pursuit Group—or what’s left of them . " I looked at the P-40’s. They are so full of holes they should be con demned—there is hardly one the Dutch would dare take up again. We were leaving them little enough. “Now m y boys are gulping coffee. They grab an apple each and sand wiches to take along, and cram things in their bags, and I suppose it’s tim e for goodbys.' Captain Ana- m aet, leader of the Dutch fighters, tall, thin, dark-haired, with a finely chiseled face, nervous like many fighters, is standing silent at one side. His Dutch boys are with him. “W hat can we say? Our American boys have fought with them like brothers for weeks. We’re now mak ing a d Jgh for safety. -----------— . “Anam aet is the courageous one. He walks forward, puts up his hand, and says simply, without a quaver, 'Thanks for all you have done. We have tried, but we are finished.’ Gravely, and with no bitterness. “I ask him why he and all his boys don't come out with us. We’ll find room for him in the planes. Then we can continue the w ar from Australia. He shakes his head. “Now our boys are loaded in the truck, and presently we’re out on the m ain highway, headed across Java, but just then we hear a fa m iliar drone—Jap dive bombers. Smelling their way into Java, they’ve finally found this field. It’s only luck they hadn’t found it be fore. Our boys crowd against the tail gate of the truck to watch them peel off one by one, assum e that 40-degree angle toward the ground, let go the little egg, pull out of their dives and then—r-r-r-umpf, the bomb takes hold. It punctuates the les son we’d been trying for days to It was two o’clock in the morning when I got M ajor Fisher out of bed. drive home to the Dutch infantry generals—that the field was now un tenable. It was only the w eather which kept the Japs out of it yes terday. “But now we have worries of our own. There are seventy-six of us in this little caravan—fifteen of them pilots. We have only one road m ap, so the drivers’ instructions are to drive carefully and stay to gether. It’s a long drive at the speed we can m ake. A close squeeze to m ake it by noon. Then, in spite of the road m ap, we get lost—not badly, but two or three tim es we m ust backtrack. Then I see we’ll never m ake it by noon. The boys, tired from m any weeks of fighting, try to doze standing up in that jolt ing truck. I don’t sleep, but I have nightm ares. At every cross roads I wonder if lightning-fast light Jap tanks m ayn’t come sliding in on us. Even if we had tim e to turn and run before they open fire with their turret guns, they would have cut off our escape to Jockstrap. “My wrist-watch hour hand seems to race. These tired boys, bounc- ing-in that truck, trust me. The Air Corps got them in here; now the Air Corps is getting w hat is left of them out. They don’t doubt that a big bomber will be waiting with its door open on the Jockstrap runway to take them to Australia. Suppose we . get there to find the bom ber pilots I have waited past the rendezvous ‘ hours, and then gone on back to Australia empty—and we look at a vacant field knowing the Japs are closing in behind us? “My watch hand races toward noon and we’re still hours from Jockstrap, but I have an idea. We’re not far from what shows on my m ap as a fair-sized town which should have telephones from which, while the boys have lunch, I can call the Colonel and tell him we’re on our way—that those bombers m ust wait. “The town is a sleepy little place built round w hat at a quick glance one m ight m istake for a Middle W estern courthouse square. W ar hasn’t touched it, and you’d think could never come. In the hotel they stare at our uniforms—they’re the first Am erican ones they've seen. The boys order, while I hunt a, tele phone to call the Colonel at Jock strap. “ But m inutes tick by and they can’t locate him. Nor anyone else who can deliver a m essage that we are coming, and those bombers m ust wait. “Do I waste m ore tim e calling? Or do we hurry on, hoping we’ll get there before they are frightened from the field? That seem s m ore sensible, so we forge on. I haven’t the heart to tell them I couldn’t reach the Colonel. “They’re all tired in the cars, there’s no wrestling or kidding, which is amazing for fighter pilots. U-TEATUftEF Finally I know from the m ap we m ust be approaching Jockstrap. But on what side of the town is the field? We can’t w aste precious m in utes uselessly fighting its narrow streets. “Then, to one side, I see leaping flames and a column of smoke. That’s all the m arker you need to find an airdrom e a t this stage of a w ar. I tell the driver to steer for the smoke and he’ll find the field. “And a t first it seem s all to have been for nothing. There are the hangars, split wide open—six or seven Forts burning m errily. Also the w ater tower is hit. Profession ally, I adm ire it as one of the best bomb runs I’ve ever seen. The Japs seem to have m ade a perfect job of cutting off our retreat—but no! There rem ains a single Fortress! “It seem s Lieutenant Vandevan- ter managed in the nick of tim e to get her off the ground, and flew out to sea until the raid was over. Luck ily they sent only bombers, and no Zeros which could shoot him down. Here he is now, perched on the edge of the field. “But at the utm ost he can carry only a third of us. I dispatch about fifty in the trucks to Madiun Field, hoping it isn’t blown up, and that two Forts the Colonel tells m e are due in from A ustralia can get them out. “And now we have a bonfire of everything we couldn’t take with us, but which we don’t w ant the Japs to have—all our photographs, every official paper, the entire Tecords of the 17th Pursuit Group for the Java and Philippine w ars. It all goes up in those flames on Jockstrap Field forever—except what the few rem aining boys standing around that fire can rem em ber of what the oth ers did. We even chuck in a few bomb sights that were kicking around—for luck, and for kindling. “But just as the flames were leap ing highest, the air-raid siren start ed to scream . We dived for a drain age ditch, and I think I got m y worst scare of the w ar. Because up above were two Zeros approach ing, and down here on the field was our solitary Fortress — our last chance to escape—sitting in front of God and everybody (including those Japs) m other-naked and defense less. How long I held m y breath, staring up into the sky, I couldn’t say now. But for some reason they hadn’t dived on us yet, and then when one rolled up to let the other take a picture I realized it w as only a recco flight, to take the dam age they’d done a few hours before. “I began loading the boys into that plane. But I did one final thing. I couldn’t forget Captain Anam aet, standing there on that Gnoro Field watching us pull out, and if I’d w anted to, the others wouldn’t have let me. So with the Dutch liaison officer there at Jockstrap, we m ade arrangem ents that if tomorrow night we could get any planes through from Australia, they would circle our old bom ber field at M alang. The liaison officer w as to notify Ana m aet, so that if his Dutch fighter pilots could get there, and Malang wasn’t by then in Jap hands, they would light a bonfire on its field as a signal that it w as safe for our F orts to come in and pick them up and take them out to Australia, where we’d have another chance to fight the w ar together. “We kept the date. The next night Captains Bill Bohnaker and Eddie G reen slipped through to Malang. For forty-five m inutes they circled our old field. But there was no bonfire. Maybe A nam aet’s boys had died during the day, giving their all for Java. Maybe they’d got to the field just ahead of the Japs and were now prisoners, unable to light their bonfire but listening in the darkness as Bill and Eddie circled and circled above them . W hat hap pened we never knew. But I’m glad we couldn’t have foreseen that darkened field at Malang as we all climbed into our own Fortress, turned off the Jockstrap field, and headed east for Australia, flying into a rising moon.” “Nothing much was going to hap pen on that flight to A ustralia,” con tinued Frank, “ although we couldn’t know it. AU had to cram forward for the takeoff, of course, for with that big load in the rear we’d never have got her tail up. We m anned battle stations, and only after we were halfway across the ocean did the gunners leave their turrets. I rode up in the pUot’s com partm ent, and there w ere a t least seven of us there, three sitting on the floor. “At two o’clock in the morning we sight the coast in the moonlight, which gives it a ghostly hue. I t’s just flat desert, but finally we find the little town of Broome. We cir cle it and finally a flare path breaks out below—they’re tossing kerosene flares out of a moving auto to show us the runway, so we circle and come in. “I couldn’t sleep. The mosquitoes were m aking m e groggy, and also I was thinking of our planes circling Malang Field for Anam aet. A fter a while I got up and looked out the hangar door. The first pale dawn was breaking over Broome, which I coufd now see consisted of a gen eral store, a gas station, two houses, and this hangar shack—perched out here on the edge of nothing, where the red sand desert of AustraUa m eets the blue salt desert of the sea.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: NE YEAR.

With this is. sue we begin our 46th year. Many changes have taken place in Davle since The Record was established in 1899. At that time there wasn’t a mile of improved highway, no steel or concrete bridges, not a mo dern school house, no rural mail routes, not a bank in the county, and no automobiles. Mocksville was a small country town, with on Iy a few stores and business bouses. The town had no electricity, no water system, and in winter the public squa e was almost impass able. Wonderful changes have t:.ken place in these 45 years. The Record has helped in every way possible to build up the town and county. It made a bard fight for better roads, schools, farms and cattle, and worked early and late to secure new mills, factories and business bouses. We rejoice that we have lived to see many of our dreams realized. The town and county have fine hard . surface streets and highways, fine bridges, modern and up-to date schools, fine farms and dairies, and a citi zenship that any county could well be proud of. We have strong banking bouses, modern and up-to date stores, mills and factories, water system, electric lights and power, with fine schools, churches and homes. The Tural sections have electric ily, together with many modern country homes equipped with lights water and many conveniences un known on the farm 40 years ago. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to all those who have stood by us during all these years.

Masonic Picnic Has Been Cancelled For the second time in 65 years the annual Masonic picnic has been cancelled. The picnic was called off in 1935 on account of polio. At a meeting of the Mocksville Masonic Lodge Friday evening, and on the advice of the head of the State Health Board, it was de cided best to cancel the picnic this year on account of the polio epi demic in this state. While Davie hasn’t a case of infantile paralysis np to this writing, practilly all of the surrounding counties have from one to 10 or more cases. We are sorry there there will be no picnic this year, but think tha't the Masons took the right step in their meeting Friday evening.

MOCKSVTLLE, N. C. Green Light for Private Forestry Shortage of Forestry Products Is Serious Recent actions by congress great ly encourage tim berland owners, foresters and the lum berm en who long have been supporting a nation al program of private forestry, W. DuB. Brooklings of the Chamber of Commere of the United States points out. Private forestry m eans the grow ing of trees as a com m ercial enter prise, rather than landscaping or the planting of ornam ental trees. The hazards of the business, such .as fires, insects, tree diseases and the m any years before trees m ature, are so obvious that there are some who say that the government ought to own the forests. As an alternative to outright government ownership, they advocate complete federal con trol of forest practices covering growing and cutting on all privately owned tim berlands. E ither of these alternatives would be a serious m atter for the cause of private enterprise. It would take an ■enormous area out of the free, com petitive field. The forest areas of the United States actually exceed the tilled farm lands. In nw nber of employees and investments, forest product enterprises rank fifth among Am erican industries. By the recent passage of a m eas ure authorizing greatly increased funds for fire prevention, congress has gone a long way toward remov ing what is recognized as the great est deterrent to the progress of pri vate forestry—fire. A basic principle of this new fire protection legislation is equal con tributions by the federal government on the one hand and by the states and private owners on the other. The late Senator M cNary of Oregon was instrum ental in enactm ent of a law based on that principle 20 years ago, but there were inadequate funds to m ake it effective. It is to be re gretted that the senator did not live to see the passage of his recent bill for greatly increased funds. Farm ers will need m ore than six billion board feet of lum ber in 1944, but they’ll have to take action them selves if the critical overall lum ber and pulpwood shortage is to be m et. W ar Food Adm inistrator M arvin Jones has announced that if produc tion and distribution of farm crops a re to supply essential needs this year, American farm ers will be called upon for two lines of proce dure: First, increasing lum ber pro duction from farm woodlands during the winter, and second, providing labor for forest industries during the slack winter season on farm s. Substitute Provided For Steamed Bonemeal Because of the shortage of bone- m eal as a source of phosphorus in poultry rations, tests conducted at the Texas agricultural experim ent station are of particular interest to poultry raisers. The non-variable portion of each ration was m ade up of the usual proportions. Each ration contained an estim ated 18 per cent protein, and a calcium-phosphorus ratio of 1.8:1. The results show clearly that the average gains and feed required to produce a unit of gain were alm ost alike in each of the paired lots. By comparison of the gains, feed efficiency and m ortality, it is indi cated that the use of twice the am ount of defluorinated superphos phate actually needed to furnish an optim um of phosphorus in the ra tion will produce no ill effect and will not hinder feed utilization. It was concluded, that in broiler ration steam ed bonemeal can be satisfactorily replaced by defluori- hated superphosphate of the quality used in this trial. The presence or lack of an anim al protein did not influence the com parative efficiency of the steam ed bonemeal and the defluorinated superphosphate. Tomato Harvest With the tom ato harvest already under way in some states, growers will do well to follow picking and packing practices that reduce skin breaks and resulting decay in tom a toes, says the W ar Food adm inistra tion. These practices include pick ing tom atoes when they are “ m ature-green,” avoiding harvest ing during wet weather, if possible, and using crates with the smooth aide of the slats on the inside. Im m ature tom atoes have been found m ore susceptible to skin breaks than those picked “m ature-green.” More Cotton Used T I i t M C T THE COTTON TEXTILE INDUSTRYIN TWO WARS.oA 'Mb SPlNDlfS IN PIACI 7 COTTON CONSUMPTION *4,931,000 H tH 1943 *****’ * T ’ 1 IStmiATB HOUSSUOIV » # < Jams to Help Save on Butter Next Winter Berries for jam s and jellies need picking over to remove the too-soft or wormy ones from the good. Use colander and large pans to m ake an easy job of this prelim inary step. Next winter when butter and other fats are scarce, you’ll thank your self for putting up a generous supply of jam s, jellies, butters and m ar m alades to help spread bread and rolls. Fruits and ber ries are plentiful now and good spreads can be m ade without using the one cup of sugar for one cup of fruit, in case your canning sugar is at a prem ium . In fact, in m any cases you’ll find that three-fourths of a cup of sugar to one cup of fruit will work perfect ly well. To assure success in making jam s and jellies, w atch cooking tim e carefully. In m ost cases, the juice from the fruit or berry is extracted slowly, but when juice and sugar are combined, cook quickly to finish so that none of the bright color of the fruit is sacrificed. When the fruit or berry is low in natural pectin, use a com m ercial form and follow directions for sugar and juice. Ripe Sour Cherry Jelly. (Makes 7 medium-sized glasses) 3 cups juice 4 cups sugar I box powdered fruit pectin To prepare juice, stem and crush about 3V4 pounds fully ripe cherries. Add Vt cup w ater, bring to a boil, and sim m er, covered, for 10 min utes. Place fruit in jelly bag and squeeze out juice. If there is a shortage of juice, add a little w ater to fruit in bag and squeeze again. M easure sugar into a dry dish and set aside until needed. M easure juice into a 3 or 4 quart saucepan. Place pan over hottest fire. Add powdered fruit pectin and m ix well. Continue stirring until m ixture comes to a hard boil. Pour in sugar at once, stirring constantly. Con tinue stirring, bring to a full rolling boil, and boil hard Vt m inute. Remove from fire, skim and pom quickly. Paraffin hot jelly at once. Dried Apricot and Pineapple Jam . (M akes U 6-ounce glasses) 4 cups prepared fruit 7 cups sugar I bottle fruit pectin To prepare fruit, add 2 cups w ater to Vi pound apricots. Cover and let stand overnight. Drain fruit, grind or chop fine and m ix with juice. Crush well or grind I medium sized pineapple or use No. 2 can crushed pineap ple.

Try a sprinkle of paprika over the top, and serve with crispy, broiled bacon. Eggs are still plentiful and are a treat when served curried with a rice or noodle ring. Green peas or beans with baby onions are a good accom paniment. Salads are refreshing as lunch eon or supper m ain dishes. You’ll like vitam in C filled oranges sliced on lettuce with one of the following salads in the middle: Chicken, tuna or egg salad; cot tage cheese mixed with slivered, seedless grapes; or, cooked prunes stuffed with peanut butter.

Remove seeds from cantaloupe, pare and dice. Combine all ingredi ents except nutm eats. Cook slowly until m ixture boils. Boil rapidly until thick and clear. Add nutm eats and pour into hot sterilized glasses. Hom em akers who are hunting for new combinations for jellies will like these. Use the long boil method iq preparing them.

Juices Used Sugar Needed Currant, 2 cups Red Raspberry, 2 cups * cuPs Plum , 2 cups Crabapple, 2 cups 4 cups Apple, 2 cups Pineapple, 2 cups 3 cups Crabapple, 2 cups Cherry, 2 cups 3 cuPs For those who wish to m ake jel lies out of fruit juices, canned this sum m er, there is a simple procedure to follow. If there is not enough sugar to fill all your canning and jelly-making needs, then the best way of assuring yourself of jelly, is to put up the juice and m ake it up into jelly when you do have the sugar. Follow directions for preparing fruit or berry juice as in jelly- m aking recipes. Do not add fruit or sim m er unless recipe directs it. Aft er juice has been extracted, place in jelly bag and squeeze out the juice. Fill canning jars to shoulder and seal according to m anufacturers’ di rections. Place jars into a boiling w ater bath (180 degrees) with wa ter reaching an inch or two above the jars. Keep waiter at sim m ering tem perature and process pints of juice 20 m inutes, quarts 30 minutes. Remove jars and finish sealing, if necessary. Cool as rapidly as pos sible but avoid a draft. To M ake the Jelly. When you desire to m ake the jelly, use your favorite recipe or those with the com m ercial pectins. These jellies have the sam e texture as those m ade from fresh products. I/ you uiish additional instruction for canning fruit or berries, write to Miss Lynn Chambers, 210 South Desplaines Street, Chicago 6, Illinois, Please enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope for your reply.

GIDEON’S FAITHFUL FEW LESSON TEXT—Judges 7:4-7. 15-21. GOLDEN TEXT—There Is ne restraint to the Lord to save by m any or by tew.— I Sam uel 14:6. Man power is said to be the secret of victory. Our nation is concerned about the shortage of m an power in critioal m anufacturing centers. The arm ed forces are calling for more and m ore m en and women. That will all m ake it a Uttle strange to study and teach the les son for today, for here is the story of a crucial miUtary cam paign in which the leader, Gideon, was told by God to cut down his forces. This happened again and again, until he had less than one per cent of his original force, which was none too large, humanly speaking. W hat singular thing was going on? God was at work and He did not w ant Israel to look to the arm of flesh, but to Him. Three questions are raised and answered in this interesting story: I. Quantity or QuaUty? (7:4-7). The Lord is looking for m en to do His work, but He cannot use m en who are afraid or careless. This was the lesson Gideon learned, and it appUes to our day as weU. When Gideon started out he had 32,000 m en (Judg. 7:3). Not willing that they should glory in their own strength and knowing that m any of them were cowards at heart, the Lord told Gideon to let those who were afraid, go home. When the mob had left there were only 10,000 left. How sad it is that so m any are "fearful and afraid” (v. 3) when it comes to going into battle for the Lord. They sing cheerily, “Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross; let courage rise with danger,” etc.; but when the bombs of Satan begin to fall, or the bugle calls for an advance into the enem y’s territory, they have dis appeared to places of comfort and safety. W hat good are such sol diers? The Lord told Gideon to send them home; perhaps the church should do the sam e. Then cam e the second test which appears in our lesson. Those who took the comfortable and easy way to drink (v. 6), were not alert and ready. Down went the num ber to 300; but these were m en who were ready to obey, who were alert and courageous. The church needs to learn that large num bers are not the answer to her problems. God is interested in num bers, be Sjjve of that, but He is m ore concerned about quality than quantity. Let us get m ore peo ple who are truly regenerated into the church, and not just m ore peo ple. II. Man’s Power or God’s Power? (vv. 15-18). Strange as was the plan for re cruiting, the plan of battle was even m ore unusual. Lights, broken pitch ers, and trum pet blasts are hardly the accepted weapons of w arfare, nor does the method sound like mili tary strategy. This was no tim e for questions, for logical argum ents, for the usual organization of w ar, for now God was about to work. He was ready to show His power quite apart from the ability of m an, and He had a right to work as He would. Wise and blessed is the church which knows that there comes a tim e when the thing to do is to put plans aside and let the Lord work. No one will question the value of organization and proper church “m achinery,” but we need to ask ourselves whether we have not be come so organized that we impede the work of God. Observe on the other hand that it was “ the sword of the Lord and of Gideon”—not just the sword of the Lord. God is all-powerful. We m ust not hinder His glorious working. But He works through men, do not forget that! He used Gideon, and He used Gideon’s little band. God’s power m ust accomplish God’s work, but that power flows out to the world through yielded and obedient men. III. Running or Standing? (w . 19- 21). The enemy “ran and cried and fled.” The sword of the Lord and of Gideon had put them to rout. Well m ay the enem ies of God be terror- stricken when He begins to work through His servants. AU this was done “by faith,” for we find Gideon’s act of turning “to flight the arm ies of the aliens” list ed among the exploits of faith (Heb. 11:34). Now, see what Gideon’s host was doing while the enemy ran (v. 21). “They stood every m an in his place.” No need for frantic hurry with them , no fear, no excitem ent. God works that way. Remember the children of Israel at the Red Sea? H ie w ater ahead, and Pha raoh’s host to the rear. What to do? “F ear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” (Exod. 14:13), Perhaps the word is coming to us just now—Trust God rather than the power of m an! Stand stiU and see what He wiU do, for His own glory! w TOMlKE (Mt**.

Back the Attack—Bny More Than Before.U'S, Treaturs Department Dick Tracy By Chester GoaId OOP To the People of this Community There are many urgent reasons for buying War Bonds. First, the invasion needs money. Bonds pay for planes and guns and munitions_______’_______ with which tobeat the Axis. Our fighting m en must have the best possible equipment and it is up to us to let our money provide this. A second reason is this: There is a shortage of goods now. Later on there will be plenty for civilian de sires. Money put into War Bonds now will be available then. Busi ness opportunities will be open then, too, and the “nest egg” saved now may hatch out commercially then. Money put into War Bonds now will be deprived of its current potentiality as a part of the causes of inflation. You will be doing your part toward stabilizing the money situation by buying Bonds instead of dwindling stocks. That is a third reason. But the best reason from a selfish viewpoint is this: Right now there ix no better investment than War Bonds. There is no safer repository for your money. By buying Bonds you become a stockholder in the strongest "going” concern in the world today, the United States of America. Xh e EDITOR. DonWinslow of the Navy By Lt* Comdr.
