C. ‘'Blessed be God, even the Fath­ er of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father rf mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comfortetb us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are In anp trouble, by the comfort where­ with we ourselves are comforted of God ” —II Corinthians 1:3,4. It is quite natural that every heart and soul desires comfort, therefore seeks I* ir some way. Howev- - o i l ie finds it, as he I a the right way i.. _;ei get comfort from the wrong scarce, unless it to mo­ mentary and temporary Often, times men drink intoxicants, not only to satisfy a depraved appetite, but In order to find comfort for a troubled heart, mind, soul and spir­ it. Many inneavor to drown their troubles by strong drink. Maybe for a little while they feel hilarous, and forget their troubles, worries, heartaches and disappointments, but when they sober up they find themselves worse than before. Not only are their troubles still there,, but tbe serpent of strong drink has Iefl its poison in their system which brings disease to tbe body, and fin ally death but the very conscience and soul is morally poisoned, hence wine and strong drink “bites like a serpent and stings like an adder.” Men play cards and gambie both for money and comiort. Multitu­ des flock to tbe movies for com fort, which casts a shadow over the life and soul, and this shadog grows darker and darker the longer they behold the ungodly, wicked scenes of tbe theatre. No blessed comfort there for tbe heait, mind, soul and spirit that needs God Multitudes spend their money for that which can never, never-comfort nor satis­ fy a sin-laden, guilty heart and soul, nor ease a lashing, guilty con­ science. This is a pleasure-seeking age of the world. Millions, millions seek pleasure in the evil, sinful, wicked things of the world, hunting for something to comfort a sin-sick, heavy laden, weary heart and soul, only to be disappointed in every­ thing they seek, and from every standpoint, since God is left out It is a positive fact that nothing on earth can satisfy and comfort the heart and soul of man but God. However, the devil has tbe vast majority of mankind seeking for satisfaction and comfort in what he offers them. And they take the shadow for the substance, the coun­ terfeit for the real, leaving^ the Lord Jesus Christ out of tbeir lives and souls, hence the “ pearl of great price” is never found by the mul* titues. We have betore us a great and wonderful text. You will notice that the woid “ Comfort,'' or its equivalent, is mentioned five times, and the text consists of but two verses embraced in a single sen­ tence. W hnt is tbe meaning ot tbe word “ Comfort?” Here is how Webster defines it: “To impart strength and hope to; to encourage, cheer, solace, console, revive, en­ liven, invigorate, inspirit, gladden, recreate, exhilarate, refresh, aui- tnate, confirm,” etc. Now that is exactly wbat God the Father, Jes- us Christ His Son, and tbe blessed Hol^ Spirit can do for every heart and soul. Amen. Glory to God and hallelnjab! Paul savs tbat God comforts in “ all our tribulation.” I tbinkthat has such a broad meaning until it takes In all our troubles, sorrows, heartaches, disappointments, tests, trials, temptations, persecutions, failures, mistakes, blunders, and so on, just as long as we pray earn, estly, love God supremely, love all mankind, obey God faithfully in all things, and walk the narrow way Raising Pay Of Con­ gressman Congressman Murrav echoes the Idea which must be in the minds of many American people when he de­ clares that the idea of incleasing the salaries of members of Congress is “ridiculous, preposterous inde­ fensible” . "Congress itself” , he declares, “ has passed legistion that resulted In tbe freezing of the income and hourly wage of the producers of the food and fiber of tbe Natiou- Tbis freezing has taken place al. though there has been an increase crease of 20 to 40 per cent in the things the farmers buys. The proposal to increase the sal­ aries of members of Congress is justified by those advocating a step on the grounds that living costs have so largely increased. Granting that such a contention can be defended, the same condi­ tion applies to every other class of American citizen who, not having the same power as members of Con gress to raise tbeir own incomes, are helpless in solving the same problems. This is a very unhappy time for Congress to be thinking of feather­ ing its own nest In this manner. The proposition is in direct vio­ lation of policies which the govern­ ment has undertaken to set up for the people of the Nation' in order to serve the clear interest of the Na­ tional economy during ihe war. It is not, therefore, to be wond­ ered at that public protest to this movement by Congress should have become more or less general and indignant.—Charlotte Observer. Christian Leaders Op- Farm Census Will Be Is This You? You know a tellow wlic com­ plains that he can’t get any chew­ ing gum. He should go see one ot the veterans who has no legs left. You know another who laments bitterly tbat he has no cigarettes. He mjgbt visit some soldiers of this war who has no cigarettes. He might visit some soldier of this war who now has no eyes. Another person compians that his tires are getting thin. It might ease his burdens to find in a hospi­ tal a youth who fougbt overseas for him whose lungs are nearly worn out or another whose arms are gone. Theold saying, “ I complained tbat I had no shoes and then I saw a man who had no feet” , is more now than a few words. It is eality when you consider those who have come back and will come back from foreign lands maim­ ed and helpless for life. Charlotte Observer. The Record only $1.00. heavenward in the footprints of Jesus, Seek as we may through out the earth, but there is no sweet peaceful, lasting comfort to the heart, soul, mind and spirit except in the triune God. Praise His name forever. You will notice something else in this text: God comforts us in onr tribulation along life’s jou ney. not merelv that we may have a good time and enjoy life in Christ, and tbat we may gain heaven in the end, but that “ we may be able to comfort them which are in trouble, by tbe comfort wherewith we our­ selves are comforted of God.” In other words, when God blesses us helps and comforts us, we are to help, bless and comfort oihers, or help them find the God of ail com fort and grace Or^ of the mar­ vels of the Christian life is that it can never b - enclosed in our own bosoms and hoarded a wav selfishly, but we are ’o continually tell oth­ ers about it, and in the meantime share our blessings with them. Therefore our lives are well lived. pose Peacetime Draft President Roosevelt wants a peacetime conscription tbat w ill bring all mothers’ sons into mili­ tary traioing for a year or perhaps two. He may get his way about this as the forth coming sess;on of Congress will be overwhelmingly Democratic and will be ‘robber stamps.” He may force the next session to pass such a measure. On the other hand religious bodi­ es are openlv waging war on such a plan The Federal Council of, the Churches of Christ in America, rep­ resenting some 26,000,000 Ameri can Protestants, has asked Con gress to wait until after the war is over before making a decision on peacetime military conscription. At the biennial session held in Pittsburgh last week the following resolutions was passed: “ We cannot now foreseethe pre­ cise nature or strength of the ar­ maments that may be required by the world community when there shall h ive been established a gen­ eral system of ' international se curitv. “ We are not here pronouncing judgment for or against conscrip­ tion but we are pointing out that for the United States to change now its historic policy might be so interpreted as to prejudice tbe possi­ bility of achieving tbe kind of world otder reflected our government’s war aims.” If Congress votes now for con­ scription as a permanent policv, it will do in opposition to a united hristian community in American. The Christian Century, one of the nation’s leading religious journals, says: “ Tbe action of the Roman Catholic hierachv in opposing an immediate de vision joins that potent body with the Federal Council of Churches against this ill timed pro­ posal. Meeting in Washington in their annual conference, the bishops and archbishops on the Roman Catholic Church came out squarely against early passage of legislation providing for universal compulsory military training after the war Their reasons were unassailable. Not until the war is over, they de clared, will the enternational situa tion be clear. Since the defense of the United States must be organiz ed with rfereoce to that situation, a decision now for permanent con­ scription would b e premature Moreover, said the statement of the hierarchy, an action of stich im­ portance should not be taken with millions of those who are best quali­ fied to form a judgment out of the country. “ W ith all this we are in hearty agreement. It must he recognized tbat the hierarchy took this action in spite of powerful influences which would nave liked to see it move in an opposite direction or at least maintain a dignified silence on tbe matter. Tbat it took neither of these courses is greaily to the credit of a body who pronouncements no congressman dares take lightly We trust the officials of the Naiional Catholic Welfare Conference will be as diligent in their representation of the hierarchy in hearings before committees of Congress on this matter as they are on issues invol­ ving social legistion or education ” —Union Republican. Taken This Month The agricultural resources and the production of U- S. farms will be measured by the coming U. S. cen­ sus of agriculture scheduled to be­ gin on Jannary 8 . Basic informa­ tion on agriculture, including statis­ tics on farm acreage, crops, live­ stock, farm labor, an I other items related to farm operations will be obtained. Information obtained by the cen sus takers will be strictly confiden­ tial and the records from individual farm cannot be used for purposes of taxation, regulation, or investion, ac­ cording to Dean 0. Schaub. of State College, who heads an advisory board of all agricultural agencies in North Carolina to work with census officials. Who is a farmer? Under the cen­ sus rules the grower must farm 3 acres or more or if less than three acres, his agricultural products in 1944, whother sold to used at home, must have amounted to $250 or more, tc be considered as a farmer.

DE MILLE has been called a combination of Napo­ leon, Belasco and Beau Brummel, but P. T. Barnum would be much better, because De Mille, like Bar- num, is a great showman. His record is unbelievable. His films have earned a shocking amount of money—more than $200 ,- 000,000. This doesn't include returns from his latest, “The Story of Dr. Wassell,” which stars Gary Coop­ er and which Param ount claims will make more money than any other Para­ m ount p icture with one excep­ tion, perhaps— "Reap the Wild Wind,” in which I got my puss for a smart quarter of an hour. Ever since C. B. founded Holly­ wood as the movie capital of the world (in 1913 with “The Squaw Man”) his astute showmanship has been apparent. “The Sign of the Cross,” “King of Kings” (which still is the most played film in history), and “The Ten Commandments” still are milestones in this picture bush ness of ours. King for a Day De Mille is a wise and gay'man rich with wisdom and experience. At 63 years he’s become spokesman for the film capital. He reaches 40,000,000 people weekly on his radio show. When he recently went to Washington, D. C., to participate in the premiere of “The Story of Dr. Wassell” he was given the No. I treatment reserved invariably for visiting' potentates. He got pomp and circumstance from the Presi­ dent down the line to foreign am­ bassadors. In other words, for one day the most discussed man back there was C. B. De Mille. He set the stage and they gave him the works. Many entertaining stories have grown up about him—many of them true. too. There was, for instance, the time De Mille was making “Cleopatra,” and the sequence called for Claudette Colbert to grasp an asp (that's a snake, dearie) to her breast and let it do her in. De Mille knew Claudette loaffied snakes. He knew if he asked her to hold one she’d walk off the set—or faint. Well, two weeks before the scene De Mille rented a huge boa constrictor from a local zoo, had it brought on the set in a box. Claudette fainted when she saw it. De Mille told her to be brave, to try to get used to its presence. Then one day before the scene was scheduled De Mille had a tiny asp brought in. “What’s that?” asked Claudette. “This little thing is just an asp,” De Mille re­ plied, looking at Claudette. “Why, that itty-bitty thing couldn’t hurt anybody," said Claudette, picking up the asp and looking sideways at the huge reptile in the box. “Who could be afraid of a little thing like you?” Claudette said as she did the scene; and De Mille smiled wisely. Time or the day means nothing to C. B. when he's making pictures. Sundays, nights, they’re all the same. Well, What Else? During “North West Mounted Po­ lice” De Mille was doing a scene of a group of supposedly badly wounded Mounties returning to their barracks, which were aflame. For hours his assistant rehearsed the men. After many rehearsals, what with being bound up with bandages, splints, crutches, carrying litters, etc., the men were tired. De Mille called for a final rehearsal. The Mounties dragged themselves out of camera range, then, summoning their waning strength, began to march across the lot. De Mille watched their weary progress. Sud­ denly he shouted: “Stop! Stopl What In heaven’s name do you men think you are? A bunch of cripples?” Hollywood’s pet story about De Mille is the one about the great Los Angeles earthquake of years back. As the earth shook and rumbled and the players were tossed from their beds they awoke shouting, “Yes, yes, Mr. De Mille!” But bis wife tells this one. It’s her favorite story. Some years ago he was in the back country around New Orleans, and some natives, hearing his name and voice, said, "O, M t. De Mille, you sure are our favorite!" C. B. beamed and asked, “Which of my pictures did you like best?” "O, is you in pic­ tures, too? We meant you is our favorite on the radio.” And that, my buddies, is his favorite, too. He’s just a ham at heart—and aren’t we all?• • * Ready for Anything William Demarest received a pis­ tol from Winfield Sheehan. So on location Gary Cooper’s teaching him to shoot. That came in handy when Demarest woke up at the crack of dawn and heard voices outside. He looked out, and there was a great big guy trying to get through his gate. He grabbed his pistol, ran downstairs, opened the door, and said, “Stick ’em up!” The fellow turned out to be a' merchant seaman, a bit fuzzy and lost. Demarest end­ ed up cooking breakfast for him. Midwinter Collections Arouse Yearning for a New Fur Coat By CHERIE NICHOLAS rm \ 9T tHIS fall and winter season stands forth on the fashion cal­ endar as marking the dawn of a new era of superbly styled, luxurious looking fur coats that set a new high in point of elegance and artful design. After seeing the eye-thrill­ ing midwinter displays, so resplend­ ent and so “different” in style tech­ nique, any idea of making a last year’s coat “do this winter” be­ comes in the mind of the woman who aspires to keep pace with fash­ ion quite an unworkable theory. Per­ haps “what to do with that Christ­ mas check” might find-an answer here. The woman buying the fur coat of ner dreams now, will reap rich re­ ward, for the midwinter showings are presenting fur artistry at its peak. They stage a veritable reve­ lation of models that interpret all the latest fashion gestures in way of wide versatility in the furs them­ selves, plus a new elegance in styl­ ing that outmodes anything that has been seen in recent years. Fur coats in current displays tell you the story of new shorter lengths, and of voluptuous large sleeves, most of them with dramatic wide cuffs, and of a new generous silhou­ ette that achieves a flare and a pert back swing. These details sum up to that feeling of new elegance which pervades Uie entire fashion realm this winter. It adds intrigue too, that such an amazing variety of furs are “in style” Uiese days. It is as fashion- right to wear a super Persian lamb coat as it is to wear an American or Russian broadtail. As for mink, it has come into its own in a big way. The sensation is wild mink, a very soft and youthful looking fur that is being made up into stunning coats, capes and handsome cape- stoles. Seal, black or brown, is given high fashion rank, also nu­ tria, beaver, caracul gray or brown, and many sports furs, particularly the spotted types. As to the su­ premacy of lovely white ermine in the evening mode, there is no ques­ tion. There is such a diversity of fur coat types one can find just the style one likes best. The emphasis this year is on tuxedo fashions that range from the new short lengths to full length. Cossack coats offer a dra­ matic new silhouette and there is also increasing favor for the short nipped-in-at-waist tunic modes. Fur capes short of long make big news. They are especially smart in mink or Persian lamb. The coats pictured herewith, se­ lected for illustration from among smart fur modes created by Chi­ cago Fashion industries, carry the message of that new elegance which is so characteristic of fashions of today. The handsome full-lehgth nu­ tria tuxedo coat shown above to the right stands for rich flattery and long dependable* wear. It is a forth­ right example of fur coat perfection, styled in the new luxurious mood. Yet it is practical and of sterling worth. It has the new deep turn­ back cuffs and a chic matching hat. To the right below is a black Per­ sian lamb top-favorite. It is a thor­ oughbred in every detail, so elegant­ ly conservative it can be worn with equal aplomb over street or over evening clothes. The deep slit at each side is a new-this-season fash­ ion gesture. Take note also of the handsomely cuffed sleeves. Gray furs are very much in the fashion picture this year. Shown to the left above is a striking fitted Cos­ sack coat, styled of gray Persian lamb. Whopping big sleeves and saucy pockets are intriguing style accents. It is stunning types like this that declare a new era in fur styling. The coat shown in lower left cor­ ner is interesting in that it is styled of lynx-dyed fox, giving emphasis to the fact that the list of furs on this winter’s fashion program covers an unusually wide range. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Short Housecoat Is Pretty and Practical Somehow we have grown into the habit of thinking of housecoats in terms of floor length. The new col­ lections feature very charming housecoats that stop just at or below the knee. It’s surprising how prac­ tical and. goodlooking they are. You can get them in padded and quilted styles in plain colors or in beautiful floral pattemings. Houserobes made of bright Scotch plaids are the hit of the season. They have tie-sash belts and they really are chic to wear when you have informal company. College girls rave over these rich, beautiful plaids; career girls adore them and you can get cunning types in plaids for youngsters. One of the newest winter-warm outfits to wear in the home con­ sists of a quilted brief jacket of flow­ ery satin print with a slightly cir­ cular-cut skirt that fastens at the waistline in front but is left open the rest of the way down so it can be thrown over a costume slip in a jiffy. Embroidered Wool Wraps Are New-This-Season A distinctly new-this-season eve­ ning winter wrap is a wool 25-inch topper. It is neatly tailored with nov­ elty • shaped pockets emblazoned with sequins, gold embroidery and jewel-like stones. Hip-depth capes of handsome wool have rich embroi­ dery at each shoulder top. Taffeta Blouse The blouse worn with this stun­ ning black wool two-piece is made of plaid taffeta than which there is nothing smarter. The styling of this blouse points out the fact that soft bow-tie effects.lead in the mode. Also there is new accent in the low ered pointed waistline. Vogue Turns to Capes Fashion is very cape-conscious nowadays. The new suits are caped and the latest dresses have cape flares in the back. The long fiu cape is a fashion-first and the short fur cape takes the place of the short­ er fur jacket in many instances.

A Happy New Year to all our readers, with the sincere wish that before another year rolls around the entire world will see the end of the greatest war the world has ever known. Many botnes were saddened this holiday season on accoont of the absence of husbands, fathers, broth­ ers and sweathearts who were in distant army camps and on far away battle fields. About 1400 Davie men are in service in this and for­ eign countries. Some of them are prisoners of war, some are in hos pitals recovering from serious wounds, while 24 of our brave boys sleep their last sleep on foreign soil “ Lord God of hosts, be with ns yet, lest we forget, lest we forget.” An Appreciated Gift Mrs Alice Blount and son, John M. Blount, of Soencer, have the thanks of the editor and family for a big box of fruit, nuts, preserves, jellies, pickles and fruit cake which tbe> brought us Christmas morn­ ing. It is needless to say that such a gift was appreciated by ve hun­ gry scribe. It Is seldom that edit­ ors get kind words and gifts—more oiten it is cussings and criticisms.

Mrs. Thomas was well pleased with the handling of the program io the Farm­ ington and Cooleemee schools but de­ clined to approve the Mocksville school because of the lack of space in the building. Tiie Child Feeding program is an effort of the Federal government to provide good wholesome food for every child regardless of their finan cial ability. A complete meal served with a i pint of milk is provided for every child usually at an average price of IOc per meal. Any deficit incurred by the local school is reim­ bursed by the Child Feeding Pro­ gram to the amount of 9c per meal. Federal funds must be used in pur­ chasing groceries and milk from lo­ cal grocers, farmers and dairymen. It is hoped that as soon as building facilities can be improved that a good wholesome meal can be made available to every child in. Davie County.

MOCKSVILLE. N. C. UND "T ‘Mystery Army’ Hammers at Nazi Fortifications Washington, D. C. FOUR STARS FOR CLARK The name of the seventh full gen­ eral of the war will soon be sent to the senate for confirmation—Lieut. Gen. Mark Clark, commander of ABied forces in Italy. Clark. has been considered the hard-luck general—through no fault of his own. The public doesn’t real­ ize it, but Clark has trained division after division in Italy, only to have them transferred to other more pressing war theaters. Many of his farmer troops bore the brunt of the landing in Normandy. He also trained most of the men who landed along the French coast near Cannes and Marseilles. It is no longer a military secret that Clark and his U. S. troops are now bearing the brunt of the Italian war. The British have largely pulled out of Italy for the. Balkans. Clark has a few Poles, Brazilians and some Indian troops, but the main fighting is being done by Americans. The full generals now on ac­ tive duty in the U. S. army are Generals Marshall, Eisenhower, MaeArthur, Stilwell, Arnold and Malin Craig. The latter, having been retired after serving as chief of staff, was recalled to active duty in the war depart­ ment, where he heads a person­ nel board. In addition, two other full gen­ erals are on the retired list, John J. PersIiing and Peyton C. March, the latter chief of staff in the last war—both, incidental­ ly, bitter personal enemies. With Clark, this will make a total of seven full generals on active duty, plus two retired full generals. It is interesting to note that, prior to 1930, there had been only six oth­ er full generals in all the history of the United States. George Wash­ ington, for instance, never be­ came a full general, even though congress made it possible for him to do so. Other full generals have been Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, Philip H. Sheridan, all of the Civil war armies, plus World war leaders Tasker H. Bliss, Charles P. Summerall and John L. Hines. NOTE — Considerable debate has been going on in top mili­ tary circles over what assign­ ment Gen. “Vinegar Joe” Stil­ well should get when he finishes his California vacation. It was planned to put Stilwell in com­ mand of a specially trained army to land on the China coast. However, some propose keeping him in the war department to replace Lieut. Gen. Ren Lear as commander of ground forces.* * * STALIN AND DE GAULLE It can now be revealed that one of the foremost questions on the agenda of the Stalin, de Gaulle con­ ferences in Moscow was the vital problem of “what to do with Ger­ many after the war.” Both Stalin and de Gaulle are for a hard peace, want to see Germany’s war-making powers destroyed completely. One significant proposal taken to Moscow by de Gaulle calls for the use of German industry after the war for the rehabilitation of all wrecked French and Russian fac­ tories, railroads, shipping. Also he proposes using German mines to replenish Soviet and French stocks of raw materials depleted by war. Oa this Stalin was in complete agreement. NOTE — Stalin strengthened Rnssian influence in France by his invitation to de Gaulle. French diplomats believe there is now less chance of Britain forming a Western bloc in Eu­ rope composed of Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Nor­ way and Denmark—a bloc which the Kremlin looks upon with sus­picion.• * • MERRY-GO-ROUND fl, When announcement was made in the senate that Pt jsident Roosevelt had nominated world-renowned poet and Librarian of Congress Archi­ bald MacLeish to be assistant secre­ tary of state, une wit cracked: “From now on, all treaties negoti­ ated by the state department will be written in iambic pentameter.” C. Winter difficulties in shipping sup­ plies to Russia through the Arctic sea, combined with the establish­ ment of Allied control of the entire Mediterranean area, are resulting in Allied pressure upon Turkey to open the Dardanelles. This would permit shipment of supplies to Rus­ sia’s Black Sea ports, and mean the saving of thousands of miles of wa­ ter and overland travel from the Persian gulf up through Iran and Southern Russia. fl, When Larry Fly resigned from the FCC and moved to New York, he took up residence at the Lom­ bardy apartments. A neighbor in the building is Wall Street lawyer Eugene L. Garey, who master-mind­ ed the smear-Fly campaign of Con­ gressman Cox’s house committee which investigated the FCC not long ago. At the Court of St. James, U. S. ambassadors usually bow to British custom and wear knee breeches, though Ambassador Charley Dawes rebelled, and wore orjiinary long pants. • it W S3*' o r C fiA m A N D MCE Lieut. Gen. William H.

No­ va, a graduate of California Tech, also one of its best athletes, has at least done about as well as any oth­ er ex-collegian. He has been good enouSh to get a J M k k ■ fight with Joe jJH roH pfflK l Louis and also JS jB r good enough to H h F if [ beat Max Baer T twice. 1He was al­ so expert enough "" J I I to beat Tommy ‘ V - ' Farr. " Nova is now 'M under the canny guidance of Jim- my Johnston, a Lou Nova fight manager who knows his trade and who at the age of 69 at least knows most of the answers. “I’ve won my last 18 fights,” Nova said. “I know I am a better fighter today than I ever was before, wheth­ er you call that good or not. Jnst at the moment I have a broken hand, but that won’t keep me away from the ring long. I still hope to work my way to a spot where I can get a crack at either Joe Louis or Billy Conn. And to reach that spot I am more than willing to meet anyone who might be in the road.” Few collegians or ex-collegians have made good heavyweight fight­ ers. From John L. Sullivan, James J. Corbett, and Jim Jeffries on through to Joe Louis there has been no campus competitor who ever won the title. The champions came up harder ways, over rougher roads. Monte Munn, the big Nebraska football player, was among the best of the collegians. So was Steve Ha­ mas of Penn State, a first-class fight­ er, but not a great one. I’ve always thought Al Lassman, NYU’s star tackle could have won the title with a chance. Lassman was probably the best college boxer of any year—not only a good boxer, but also a terrific puncher. Few in heavyweight college ranks could stay a round with him. He was fast, game and a fighter who could take it. But his boxing career ended late one afternoon in Pittsburgh where NYU was playing Carnegie Tech. Lassman was carried from the field with a blood clot on the brain. Al was 6 feet 3, weight 212 pounds The Big Mystery Gene Tunney has been expecting some college athlete to make the grade for a long time. But Gene is still waiting. I asked Jack Demp­ sey why this was, some years ago. “Maybe they are too smart,” Jack sai>!, “to take that much of a beat­ ing. I can- recall more than once in my earlier days when I was on the floor and didn’t want to get up. But I had to eat and I wanted a place to sleep. I needed that extra dollar or two. I bad to get up and keep going. “Few college men are ever put on that spot. The road from the start to the top of the heavyweight divi­ sion is the roughest in sport. And I don’t care what the game is. “Don’t forget there have been a lot of good amateur college fighters who didn’t care about turning pro. And many of those who tried out the pro game started too late. Also I don’t think people realize the great number who have tried and failed. We’ve had something like 14 heavy­ weight champions from Sullivan to Louis—just 14 in over SO years. But there have been many thousands who tried to get there and couldn’t make it. Some could punch—and yet not be able to take a.punch. Others could take a punch—but couldn’t punch. Most of them nev­ er had a chance. They were too slow or they wouldn’t train.” I asked Jim Braddock what he considered the most important fea­ ture in the fight game. “There are three things,” Brad- dock said. “You’ve got to be able to punch, to take a punch and to know something about boxing. Cer­ tainly if yon can’t take a good punch you won’t have a chance. I’ve seen many a good-looking pros­ pect fade but on that account. “Good boxers such as Corbett, Tunney and Conn don’t have to take many beatings. But there are only a few close to such boxers as these. “Joe Louis has been a great champ for several reasons. Joe could punch with either hand and he coiild' and can box. They say he couldn’t take a good punch around the head. Well, while he went down several times for a short count, he always got up again—all but once in the Schmeling fight. The first one, He made up for that.” Roger Bresnahan A great catcher has heard "game called by darkness.” His name is Roger Bresnahan who helped form one of baseball’s im­ mortal batteries—“Mathewson and Bresnahan.” John McGraw always believed that Roger Bresnahan was the great­ est catcher that ever lived. “Show me another catcher, who could hit over .300—who could han­ dle any type of pitching and in ad­ dition be the spark plug of your team,” he once said.

R E L E A S E M B SVORlT THUS f a r : Zorie Corey, «bD Is In love with Paul Duncan, Is rail* loaded into taking a Job she does not went, helping edit the memoirs of his grandfather. Admiral Duncan. Aboard ship bound for Hawaii she Is thrown over­ hoard, hut Is rescued. After landing, Patd and Zorie overhear Paul's brother, Steve, with whom Zorie now Is In love, plotting with Winthrop Lanning. Believ- teg Steve to be In danger, Zorie tries to oescue him, but is captnred by f a""*"g and driven into the mountains, where she Hs told she will not see the sunrise. Pierre, who threw Zorie overboard, ar­ rives at the cabin and wants her killed, He tells of a death struggle with Steve, and claims that Steve is dead. CHAPTER XVIII “Keep away from that girl!” Mr. Iiamiing shouted. Pierre sucked in his breath 'through swollen wet lips and backed away from her. Zone’s hatred had, in a curious way, renewed her strength. Her brain was clear again. She heard the soft patter of rain on the roof and the silver wires again dangled from the eaves. Then Mr. Stromberg walked into the room. He said vigorously, “What goes on here? Where is Steve Dun­ can?” He saw Zorie. He said harshly: _ "What is this girl doing here?” ' " Pierre started to talk, but Mr. Stromberg cut him short. “Hend- ley,” he said, “what is the meaning of-this?" Zorie looked about for another man, but Mr. Lanning answered. “I will try to explain," he said. As he explained, Mr. Stromberg grew more and more grim. If she could only hold Stromberg here . . . If she could somehow hold them all here! Long before this, her disappearance from Ulu- wehi must have attracted attention. If the admiral had recalled how insistent Steve had been on having Basil Stromberg at the dinner par­ ty, then he would have the key to the mystery. The admiral would first look for Mr. Stromberg at his planta­ tion house. Not finding him there, he would logically look for him here. And if his reasoning brought him here, it was safe to assume that he would bring help. Mr. Lanning was still lucidly ex­ plaining. "Why,” Mr. Stromberg broke in, "did you leave that car in front of this house?” “I’ll move it,” Mr. Lanning said hastily. “I attended to it. You have been very careless. Hendley. Savoyard, why weren’t you on watch? An army could have marched in here! You two have placed me in an extremely embarrassing position. You will have to get off this island at once. I will give you the address of a Japanese agent in Waimea. He will attend to everything.” “Come along, Pierre," Mr..Lan­ ning said. “Wait a moment,” said Mr. Stromberg. “We have something to settle. Hendley, go out there and watch at that window.” He turned back to Zorie. He shook his head slowly. “Why,” he asked her, “does an innocent little thing like you have -to get mixed up in an unholy mess like this?” She shrugged. “Why not say the fortunes of war?” she answered. “That’s what I usually say when I get into these tight corners.” Mr. Stromberg was staring at her. “What do you mean?” “You might ask Pierre.” “Pierre?” He whirled around. “She is Ah-nah Boland!” “That’s ridiculous!” Mr. Strom- Oerg said. “It’s . . .” he stopped. Be turned back to Zorie. She tilted her head a little. She was trying to handle the situation as lightly and as boldly as she believed Anna Boland would have handled it. “You can’t possibly be Anna Bo­ land," Basil Stromberg declared. ■“Anna Boland was shot by a firing squad in BerUn six months ago!” "Maybe,” Pierre said. “And four nights ago, I threw her off the ‘Sa­ moa,’ into the propeUers and drowned herl” “But I was not shot in Berlin. And if you will look closely, Mr., Stromberg,” Zorie said demurely, “you will see that you have bagged rather a rare specimen.” “This girl is lying,” Mr. Lanning broke in. “Her resemblance to Anna Boland is what precipitated aU this trouble. It’s nothing but an amaz­ ing coincidence. Until the past fort- aight, she spent her whole life in the Uttle Middle Western coUege town of EUeryton-” "That is reaUy so amusing,” Zor- .Le said, with a soft, little laugh. “They radioed Berlin, Mr. Strom­ berg. What did Berlin say, Mr. Lanning? ‘Perhaps it was Anna Bo­ land’s double that we shot.' They radioed EUeryton, where I’ve been more or less hiding since I got out «f Germany, and EUeryton reported that I am too sm art and a very suspicious character.” Mr. Stromberg’s steel-blue eyes ■were now very narrow and alert. “This is most interesting,” he said. "‘So you reaUy are Anna Boland.” “Yes,” said Zorie. “I reaUy am Anna Boland.” He puUed a chair toward her and sat down, facing her. “I must confess I have always Iheen very curious about you, Miss Boland. I am reaUy shocked.” “And I,” Zorie answered, as it she were amused, ^ a v e been rather curious about you, Mr. Stromberg. I have , the greatest-respect ami-ad­ miration, for the work you’ve been doing here in HawaU.' You are not on my side—but. I always admire brilliant work.” Mr. Stromberg smiled.

He spoke-rapidly to Zorie in German. He said, in English, “Please answer that question in either German or French, Miss Boland." “But this is so childish!” Zorie cried. It was no use. In Uie silence, she would have heard a car if it had been a mile aw ay.. No car was coming. It was obvious that Paul and the admiral had not followed the line of reasoning she had hoped they would. Mr. Stromberg got up and went to Uie doorway. He turned and lobked at her. "Whoever you are,” he said, “I am awfully sorry for you. Pierre, come along!” “And leave her here in this cab­ in?” . Pierre protested. “Come with me.” The two men went into the other room and joined Mr. Lanning. Their voices, so low she could hardly hear them, came to Zorie. They were, of course, discussing her, deciding her fate. She knew that Mr. Lan­ ning was sorry for her, and she be­ lieved that their better natures would have little weight in their de­ cision. They dared not keep her a prisoner indefinitely. They dared not set her free. They must give Pierre the order to dispose of her. They had no choice! She tried to nib Her' hands to­ gether. Sensation was returning to them, but it took the form of an ag­ onizing ache. She tried to stand up. TTiere were sharp cramping pains in her feet now. Her ankles would not support her. ■ It she could stand up, she could crawl through the window. She could crawl away and hide some­ where. It was her only chance. She made another effort at getting up. Her legs gave way. When she tried to grasp. the seat of the chair and push herself up, her hands Slipped off. They had no strength. Flashes of pain went through them. ,Panting, she rested a moment. The three men were arguing. ’ Zorie saw the kitchen door slowly opening. She thought it was being blown open by the wind, but there was no wind. A. man appeared. He came lurch­ ing into the doorway. A knifelike pain seemed to twist her heart. The man stood, swaying, with his head sagging. His head, his face, his clothing were a mass of shining purple-red mud. .What she could see of his face, under the mud, was battered almost beyond recognition. Blood and mud were indistinguishably in­ termingled. \ Zorie stopped the scream as it rose in her throat. She whispered: “Steve! Steve!” He carried in one hand two metal objects so covered with red mud that it was hard to recognize them. He stared at her blearily. She realized that he was so groggy he could hardly stand. He must have been lying half conscious in mud all this time. He must have called on superhuman effort to keep this ap­ pointment with Basil Stromberg. He stood, swaying drunkenly, star­ ing at Zorie out of bloodshot, blurred blue eyes. With his head sagging, his arms limply beside him, his whole body caked with'mud, he was even more frightening than Pierre had been. . 'Steve Duncan came lurching to­ ward her. He moved as deliberate­ ly, as stiffly, as clumsily as a robot. He paused beside her and peered into' her shocked white face. He dropped one of the revolvers or pis­ tols into her lap. In a strange, rumbling voice, he said: “Use this, baby.” Her relief was so great that a spasm of hysteria shot through her. He staggered drunkenly past her and into .the living-room. A sense of warmth and strength flowed mag­ ically into her. Steve Duncan was, suddenly, more than a man that she loved. He was Man—the un- defeatable. Beaten and battered and left for dead in the red mud, he had made himself get up and come here. She thought: “We’ll probably not get out of this alive, but I’ve seen the most glorious thing in my life. I’ve seen a man who was beaten to death refuse to accept it. I’ve seen a man prove that mankind can’t be beaten down!” The man was in the next room, saying in his strange, rumbling, un­ earthly voice: “Hands up—all of you!” There was a sudden, short silence. It was followed by an outburst ol sound. A gun went off. There were other sounds. Zorie was trying to pick up the revolver or the pistol in her lap. But her hands were useless. She thought of what Steve had done— the agonies he must have gone through to get here. She tried to stand up. There oc­ curred, in the next room, a splinter­ ing sound, and a thump, as a door burst open. She saw them from the window. There were three of them—Steve, Pierre and Mr. Lanning, all locked together, a straining mass of muddy men. Their feet slid about in the red mud. With a superhuman effort, she picked up the gun in her lap. It slid out of her hand. She reached down for' a handful of her sun- pleated evening dress. She tried to swab the mud off the gun. She watched the fighting men. She wondered where Basil Stromberg was. The three men were still locked together, floundering about in the mud, with Pierre and Mr. Lanning striking at Steve. There was a re­ volver in Mr. Lanning’s right hand. Steve’s hand was closed tightly about Mr. Lanning’s wrist. His hand holding the revolver was above his head and the revolver was pointing to the sky. Pierre stepped away. He reached up for the revolver and pulled it out of Mr. Lanning’s hand. Then he stepped back. He started to circle about them. Mr. Lanning had one arm about Steve’s neck. With the hand that had been holding the revolver, he swung repeatedly at Steve’s face. They spun about in the mud. Zorie found herself on her feet with the automatic pistol in her hand. She did not know how she had got to her feet, or how her hand had acquired the strength to grasp the pistol. She moved with dragging steps toward the living-room. She passed through the doorway. She saw Mr. Stromberg lying near the front door on his back, with one arm throws over his eyes. (TO BB CONTINUED) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY!CHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUISTf D. D.Of The Maody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for January 7 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Reugious Education; used by permission. THE CHILDHOOD OF JESUS' LESSON TEXT—Matthew 2:13-23. GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in aU places whither thou goest.—Genesis 28:15. Matthew is the Gospel of the King and His kingdom. It stresses the fulfillment of prophecy in the com­ ing of Christ, the King. After . His rejection, it tells us of the Church, “the kingdom in mystery,” and of the death of Christ for our sins, His resurrection for our justification, and His glorious coming again. This then is an important book which we study for the next three months. Teacher and student alike should be enthusiastic and expect­ ant. The genealogy of the King, and the story of His coming to earth as the babe of Bethlehem (both impor­ tant matters), are covered in chap­ ter I. In our lesson we find Him as a little child. Observe how man received Him, and how God cared for Him. Without assigning definite verses to our points we note that: I. Men Received or Rejected Jesus. It has always been-so. Men, then as now, were either for Him or against Him. The world or today is far different from that of the first century, but the difference is all on the outside. Almost breath-taking have been the developments of mod­ em science, but these have not changed the heart of man. He still fears and hates and fights and sins. His attitude toward Christ is un­ changed.' There are still only two classes of people, in the world—those who have received Christ and are saved, and those who have rejected Him and are lost. 1. Men Are Against Christ. How do men show their rejection of God’s Son? Just as they did at His birth, by: a. Fear. Herod was afraid lest the coming of this One should result in the loss of his ill-gotten gains. His anger and fear made all Jerrn salem afraid. b. Indifference. When the Wise Men asked where Christ was to be born, the priests and scribes knew exactly where to find the facts in the Holy Scriptures, but having done so, they relapsed into utter indifference. They had no interest in the fulfill­ ment of the prophecy. c. Hatred. Herod poured out the violence of his heart by killing the first-born. He was the first of many who have raged against the Christ in futile anger. d. Sorrow. The tears of the moth­ ers of Jerusalem but foreshadowed the weeping and wailing which char­ acterizes Christ-rejection both in time and eternity. 2. Men Are For Christ. Thanks be to God, there were those in that day who were for Christ and, like those who follow Him today, they showed: a. Spirituality. Men have mar­ veled that the Magi knew of the birth of Christ. They must have studied the prophecies of the Word and been responsive to the teach­ ing and moving of the Holy Spirit. Can we say as much for ourselves? b. Interest. Not content to know and to marvel, they shamed the priests of Israel by their persistent interest in this great thing which had come to pass. c. Love. They brought themselves In worship and they brought rich gifts from their treasures. You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. d. Action. They came. They per­ sisted until they found the Christ. Then they listened to God and pro­ tected His Son by not returning to Herod. II. God Protected and Prepared Jesus. The ruin which sin had brought into the world could only be met by redemption which Christ had come to bring. Some men had already shown their hatred for Jesus and their rejection of Him. But God still ruled, and for the sake of those who received Him (and would receive Him in all the centuries since), He kept the Child Jesus from harm. We find Him: 1. Protecting Jesus. Men may hate and seek to destroy God’s Son. Satan may inspire them with ingen­ uity and cunning. But see how the Eternal One spoke to Joseph in dreams, how He prepared a place of refuge in Egypt and ultimately in -Nazareth, where the boy Jesus might increase in wisdom and stat­ ure and favor with God and man. 2. Preparing Jesus.. God knew of the days of public ministry which were ahead, and above all, of that day when on Golgotha’s hill Christ was, in His own body, to prepare salvation for you and for me. God is never taken by surprise. He moves forward to the completion of His plan with the stately tread of eternity. He took Jesus to Egypt. He brought Him again to Nazareth. In it all He was preparing His Son for file days of ministry which were ahead. AU this was in fulfillment of prophecy (see w . 15, 17). God’s Word is always sure.

Aboard ship bound for Hawaii she is thrown over­ board, but Is rescued. After Unding, Paul and Zorie overhear Paul’s brother, Steve, with whom Zorie now is in love, Victtiog with IVinthrop Lanning. Believ- tag Steve to be in danger, ZOrie tries to aescue him, hut is captured by Lanning and driven into the mountains, where she Is told she win not see the sunrise. Pierre, who threw Zorie overboard, ar­ rives at the cabin and wants her killed. He tells ot a death struggle with Steve, and claims that Steve is dead. CHAPTER XVIII “Keep away from that girl!” Mr. I>anning shouted. Pierre sucked in his breath through swollen wet lips and backed away from her. Zorie’s hatred had, in a curious way, renewed her strength. Her brain was clear again. She heard Sie soft patter of rain on the roof and the silver wires again dangled from the eaves. Then Mr. Stromberg walked into the room. He said vigorously, “What goes on here? Where is Steve Dun­ can?” He saw Zorie. He said harshly: . "'What is this girl doing here?” “ "'Pierre started to talk, but Mr. Stromberg cut him short. “Hend- ley,” he said, “what is the meaning of-this?” Zorie looked about for another man, but Mr. Lanning answered. “I will try to explain,” he said. As he explained, Mr. Stromberg grew more and more grim. If she could only hold Stromberg here . . . Xf she could somehow hold them all here! Long before this, her disappearance from Ulu- wehi must have attracted attention. If the admiral had recalled how .insistent Steve had been on having Basil' Stromberg at the dinner par­ ty, then he would have the key to the mystery. The admiral would first look for Mr. Stromberg at his planta- Uon house. Not folding him there, he would logically look for him here. And if his reasoning brought him here, it was safe to assume that he would bring help. Mr. Lanning was still lucidly ex­ plaining. “Why,” Mt. Stromberg broke in, “did you leave that car in front of this house?” “I’ll move it,” Mr. Lanning said hastily. “I attended to it. You have been very careless. Hendley. Savoyard, why weren’t you on watch? An army could have marched in here! You two have placed me in an extremely embarrassing position.

He turned hack to Zorie. He shook his head slowly. “Why,” he asked her, “does an innooent little thing like you have to get mixed up in an unholy mess like this?” She shrugged. "Why not say the fortunes of war?” she answered. “That's what I usually say when I get into these tight comers.” Mr. Stromberg was staring at her. “What do you mean?” “You might ask Pierre." “Pierre?” He whirled around.

In a strange, rumbling voice, he said: “Use this, baby." Her relief was so great that a spasm of hysteria shot through her. He staggered drunkenly past her and into , the tiying-room. A sense of warmth and strength flowed mag­ ically into her. Steve Duncan was, suddenly, more than a man that she loved. He was Man—the un- defeatable. Beaten and battered and left for dead in the red mud, he had made himself get up and come here. She thought: “We’ll probably not get out of this alive, but I’ve seen the most glorious thing in my life. I’ve seen a man who was beaten to death refuse to accept it. I’ve seen a man prove that mankind can’t be beaten down!” The man was in the next room, saying in his strange, rumbling, un­ earthly voice: “Hands up—ati of you!” There was a sudden, short silence. It was followed by an outburst ot sound. A gun went off. There were other sounds. Zorie was trying to pick up tile revolver or the pistol in her lap. But her hands were useless. She thought of what Steve had done— the agonies he must have gone through to get here. She tried to stand up. There oc­ curred, in the next room, a splinter­ ing sound, and a thump, as a door burst open. She saw them from the window. There were three of them—Steve, Pierre and Mr. Lanning, all locked together, a straining mass of muddy men. TTieir feet slid about in the red mud. With a superhuman effort, she picked up the gun in her lap. It slid out of her hand. She reached down for' a handful of her sun- pleated evening dress. She tried to swab the mud off the gun. She watched the fighting men. She wondered where Basil Stromberg was. The three men were still locked together, floundering about in the mud, with Pierre and Mr. Lanning striking at Steve. There was a re­ volver in Mr. Lanning’s right hand. Steve’s hand was closed tightly about Mr. Lanning’s wrist. His hand holding the revolver was above his head and the revolver was pointing to the sky. Pierre stepped away. He reached up for the revolver and pulled it out of Mr. Lanning’s hand. Then he stepped back. He started to circle about them. Mr. Lanning had one arm about Steve’s neck. Vtith the band that had been holding the revolver, he swung repeatedly at Steve’s face. They spun about in the mud. Zorie found herself on her feet with the automatic pistol in her hand. She did not know how she had got to her feet, or how her hand had acquired the strength to grasp the pistol. She moved with dragging steps toward the living-room. She passed through the doorway. She saw Mr. Stromberg lying near the front door on his back, with one arm thrown over his eyes.

Lesson for January 7 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE CHILDHOOD OF JESUS' LESSON TEXT-Matthew 2:13-23. GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee In all places whither thou goest.—Genesis 28:15. Matthew is the Gospel of the King and His kingdom. It stresses the fulfillment of prophecy in the com­ ing of Christ, the King. After His rejection, it tells us of the Church, “the kingdom in mystery,” and of the death of Christ for our sins, His resurrection for our justification, and His glorious coming again. This then is an important book which we study for the next three months. Teacher and student alike should be enthusiastic and expect­ ant. The genealogy of the King, and the story of His coming to earth as the babe of Bethlehem (both impor­ tant matters), are covered in chap­ ter I. In our lesson we find Him as a little child. Observe how man received Him, and how God cared for Him. Without assigning definite verses to our points we note that: L Men Received or Rejected Jesus. It has always been so. Men, then as now, were either for Him or against Him. The world or today is far different from that of the first century, but the difference is all on the outside. Almost breath-taking have been the developments of mod­ ern science, but these have not changed the heart of man. He still fears and hates and fights and sins. His attitude toward Christ is un­ changed.' There are still only two classes of people in the world—those who have received Christ and are saved, and those who have rejected Him and are lost. 1. Men Are Against Christ. How do men show their rejection of God’s Son? Just as they did at His birth, by: a. Fear. Herod was afraid lest the coming of this One should result in the loss of his ill-gotten gains. His anger and fear made all Jeru. salem afraid. b. Indifference. When the Wise Men asked where Christ was to be bom, the priests and scribes knew exactly where to find the facts in the Holy Scriptures, but having done so, they relapsed into utter indifference. They had no interest in the fulfill­ ment of the prophecy. c. Hatred. Herod poured out the violence of his heart by killing the first-born. He was the first of many who have raged against the Christ in futile anger. d. Sorrow. The tears of the moth­ ers of Jerusalem but foreshadowed the weeping and wailing which char­ acterizes Christ-rejection both in time and eternity. 2. Men Are For Christ. Thanks be to God, there were those in that day who were for Christ and, like those who follow Him today, they showed: a. Spirituality. Men have mar­ veled that the Magi knew of the birth of Christ. They must have studied the prophecies of the Word and been responsive to the teach­ ing and moving of the Holy Spirit. Can we say as much for ourselves? b. Interest. Not content to know and to marvel, they shamed the priests of Israel by their persistent interest in this great thing which had come to pass. c. Love. They brought themselves In worship and they brought rich gifts from their treasures. You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. d. Action. They came. They per­ sisted until they found the Christ. Then they listened to God and pro­ tected His Son by not returning to Herod. II. God Protected and Prepared Jesus. The ruin which sin had brought into the world could only be met by redemption which Christ had come to bring. Some men had already shown their hatred for Jesus and their rejection of Him. But God still ruled, and for the sake of those who received Him (and would receive Him in all the centuries since), He kept the Chtid Jesus from harm. We find Him: 1. Protecting Jesus. Men may hate and seek to destroy God’s Son. Satan may inspire them with ingen­ uity and cunning. But see how the Eternal One spoke to Joseph in dreams, how He prepared a place of refuge in Egypt and ultimately in -Nazareth, where the boy Jesus might increase in wisdom and stat­ ure and favor with God and man. 2. Preparing Jesus., God knew of the days of public ministry which were ahead, and above all, of that day when on Golgotha’s hill Christ was, in His own body, to prepare salvation for you and for me. God is never taken by surprise. He moves forward to the completion of His plan with the stately tread of eternity. He took Jesus to Egypt. He brought Him again to Nazareth. In it all He was preparing His Son for the days of ministry which were ahead. AU this was in fulfillment of prophecy (see W . 15, 17). God’s Word is always sure.

J.—With War Bond sales totaling $373,300 to his credit In three previous drives, 12-year-old Carl J. Buehler, Jr., of Verona, N. J., is out to break his previous records during the Sixth War Loan.Accompanied by six attractive high school girls, whom he terms his “Bevy of Bond Boosters,” Carl has started a round of schools, clubs, industries and community bond rallies, which will keep him busy throughout the drive.The boy, who is believed to be America's champion school War Bond salesman, is a student at Our Lady of the Lake School in Verona. He started selling War Bonds during the Third War Loan and totalled $5,450 In sales. During the Fourth War Loan he sold $89,450 worth and during the Fifth $278,400. His achievements have brought him a personal letter of com­mendation from President Roosevelt, a jeep ride and a plane ride in the famed flying fortress, "Hell's An­gels,’’ which downed 18 German flghtor planes in 48 missions over occupied Europe.Said to be a spellbinder, Carl “sells” his audience thoroughly at every ap­pearance.His achievement is the more remark­able because all sales have been made to individuals and the largest single sale was for $10,009. Nearly all of the bonds he has sold have been In Series E.Equally at home in a factory or a radio station Carl is known as "The Kld Behind the Man Behind the Gun" and “America’s Premier Young War Bond Salesman."The six high school girls who are ac­companying nim on the present tour of New Jersey circulate through the audi­ences and make actual sales after Carl finishes one of his appealing sales talks.

There are so many aching hearts to. night To which I’d like to bring relief-- Something to cheer, uplift and make things right, Som ethingthat would remove the grief, And bring the balm of gladness in to stay. The joy that in the spirits rhymes That turns tbe darkness of the night to day And lifts the souls to sunny climes There are so many aching hearts tonight Caused by as many things of wrong; Yes, things that hurt, injure, de­ press and blight; That seem to hold a countless throng. And keep them from life’s better, higher things , Until I ’d like to find a better cure That would heal the wounds and remove the stings. And make success for all quite sure. There are.so many aching hearts tonight That no man on this earth can heal, Though it is well we do with all our might The things that duty may reveal; Yet there’s a cure for ev’ry human ill.' Yes, ev’ry heartache, ev’ry woe, So I ’ll prescribe, and listen of you will. It’s Jesus Christ who loves us so, There are so many aching hearts tonight. Then come to Christ with all your sighs; HeMl bring you joy and make your pathway bright, And help you win life’s pearl and prize, Tbe best there is for you upon earth Health, happiness and the deep, est peace And then beyond H e’ll give your soul sweet mirth W here glories never, never cease.

Course Of Tbe Repnbli- can Party Certainly neither in the Congress nor at the crossroads can any Re­ publican have anv, other idea, any other chief objective, than In work- ing co-operatively and vigorously in a united effort at winning the war and “ building an enduring peace.” That was not an issue in the re cent campaign: it is not an issue now. Too many people, of all poli- cal faiths, have a human “ invest­ ment” in this war to let any other consideration than these take pre­ cedence. But important as winning the war and building a permanent peace are, there also are the parallel nec­ essities for recreating sound govern, ment at homo . not had for some years . . . and for maintaining “ the American way of life,” against which powerful forces from within are working night and day, now as in the re­ cent rampaigu aud long before. The Republican party as a party of real, trus-blooded American citi­ zens, can do no less than continue to co operate fully, whole heaetedly and with the more than 21,000,000 persons who supported it November 7,'do any less than strive at every opportunity to insure that our boys will come back, not to a new, “ rs- form,” re made America at home, not to a bankrupt America, but to an America where "the American way of life” has been preserved to them in tbtir absence and where in dividual freedom has heen retained for them despite the efforts and ac­ tivities of those who believe in for- eignlsms, foreign ideologies rather than in Americanism and the basic American ideolism of personal op portunity through work, thrift, vi sion and personal courage rather than t h e supposedly guaranteed ‘•freedoms” of the slave, whether his master be another man or gov­ ernment. The Republican party MUST “continue to be a militant and vigorous force for sound gov­ ernment and the American way of life.” —Ex.

The fact that President Roose- veltjjpays so little attention to the Sabbath Day, often polluting the day, never finding time to attend services at any church—or maybe be simply does not bave the Inclina­ tion to attend—brings to our at­ tention an editorial appearing in ,The United Presbyterian on this subject. It is as follows: In keeping with the nobler tradi­ tions of onr country, it is gratify­ ing to find that the policy of our Presidents, with rare exception, has been to respect the Lord’s Day in peace time and war. Washington in the Revolutionary W ar, Lincoln in the Civil W ar, Wilson in the which we have ; first World W ar gave orders re lieving troops as far as possible “ from fatigue duty on Sunday, and giving them opportunity to attend public worship.” They based these orders on “ the necessity to man and beast of the weekly rest” ; tbe sacred rights of Christian sailors and soldiers” ; “ and a due egard to the divine will." When Garfield was nominated, 12 o’clock Saturday night found them in the midst of balloting, yet the adjourneJ tell monday. Haves find Garfield babituallv walked to church that their servants might rest and worship on Sabbath. Grant when at Paris, refused to attend Sundav horse races. At the open­ ing of the State Centennial of Ten­ nessee, McKinley refused to take a triD up Lookout Mountain, saying, ‘‘No, I do not go sight seeing on Sunday.” Theodore Roose pelt said" “ Experience shows that the day of rest is essential to mankind; it is demanded by civilization as well a s Christianity.’' Coolidge said, “ I profoundly -believe in the Sabbath and feel that we should give attention not only to tbe phy sical aspects, but also to the moral and spiritual phases of the holy day" However, when invited to join a fishing party on Sabbath, replied, “ The Hoovers never fish on Sun. day " Our fathers built our Republic upon Christian foundations, one of which is the Lord’s Day. Our Pre sident held to a Sabbath of rest and worship as essential to America’s spiritual and material greatness and opposed a holiday and labor day Sunday with their dissipation and fatigue Our haavy task of recon struction, moral leadership, and righteous adjustments require the blessings of God’s Day.—Union Re­ publican.

Equivalent To Treason Strikes have been such a common occurrence during the war that, un­ pardonable as they are, they no long­ er shock some people except in cases where the abuse is most glaring. A recent strike in Detroit was one of the iatter, A jurisdictional dispute tied up work in 24 vital war plants. It is not hard to imagine the bitter­ ness that this uncalled for action must have around in the hearts of millions, with members of their families serving in the armed forces and dependent upon the products of those Detroit plants to carry on the war. They cannot be blamed for wondering what in the world has happened to the souls of workmen who sanction these strikes, knowing full well the consequences to onr fighting men. At least in the case of this Detroit strike, a government official came forth with an unqualified condemna­ tion. Undersecretary of War Ro­ bert P. Patterson wired local anion officials as follows: “Your strikes are stopping the flow of ammunition, guns, trucks and tanks that are vi­ tally needed at the front. Yonr strikes have nothing to do with wages, hours of work or working conditions and represent no honest grievance. Such conduct is equival­ ent to treason when it paralvzes plants making munitions that must be SDeeded tn General Eisenhower and General MacArthur.” Of course, the strike ended—but that does not alter the fact that it happened and that production was held up —Ex. Wasted Energy In a small Tennessee town, on the coldest Sunday last winter, the local minister delivered a sermon on the subject.

After hearing a British speaker on a BBC broadcast affirm that Britain expected lend-lease aid after the war to rebuild homes destroyed by robot bombs,I a North Carolina Army lieutenant on the Italian front Sat himself down and got a load of stuff off bis chest in a letter to Governor Brohghton, according to Lvnn Nisbet'.' The Sentinel correspondent quot­ es from the lieutenant’s letter; “ That was the straw that broke my aching back. Many oi the folks in my boine community in North Carolina live in hovels and places not fit for human habitation. In the larger American cities there are vile slum districts, and in rural communities many homes have barely decent s'anitary facilities. Right now my fellow-soldiers and I are living in mud and blood, fight­ ing for maintenance of better condi­ tions. We’re paying taxes, too, and buying war; bonds. We ap­ prove of lend-lease f o r munitions and guns and war equipment. But I'll be damned if we are going to stand for continued high taxes to furnish better homes for people in other lands until we get our home folks carried for.” Governor Broughton’s reputed whimsical remark anent the letter to the effect that a lot of people here at home feel the same way” <s not far amiss. There is a felling among not a few Americans that the period of reconversion a u d transition in this country after tbe war will tax the financial resources and ingenuity of the nation to tbe limit, and that to attempt a general lend lease or world relief program of great proportions while our own domestic problems were left un­ solved would prove disastrous to the United States.

GERMANY’S FRESH TROOPS Some startKng facts have been gathered by AlKed war strategists regarding Hitler’s abUity to throw reserves into the western front. They give one explanation as to why the war against Germany has lasted so much longer than the war planners expected. It has been estimated that since D-day when Allied troops landed on Normandy, the Germans have lost 1,000,000 men killed, wounded or taken prisoners. This is a terrific loss in a period of six months. However, despite that heavy loss, war strategists estimate that a greater number of Nazi troops now face the Allies than on D-day. The total of D-day (June 6) was 65 di­ visions. But today Germany has 75 divisions on the western front. It is also estimated that Germany’s total strength on all fronts is just under 6,000,000 men. This increased strength on the western front has not come from the Russian front. It is known that some divisions have been transferred from the Russian front, but they have been re­ placed by other troops and the eastern front has been kept at foil strength. It is too risky to take chances there. Therefore, war strategists es­ timate that the chief increase of strength on the western front has come from the Volksgrana- dier divisions. These include boys of around 16 and old men of 16 which Hitler started forming into groups around September I. There are 10,050 men in a divi­ sion; they have little training, poor liaison, and are short of arms, especially machine guns. But they fight with considerable ferocity when mixed in with tmits from the regular army. German youth has had miKtary training for years, which has been a big help. Reports are that these new troops fight in bursts—furiously for a while and then are exhausted. They have no stamina. Another factor which has helped the German high command is the withdrawal of about 20 divisions from the Balkans, thus the shorten­ ing of the front line in Holland. Sev­ eral Finnish divisions also have been thrown into the western front. However, it remains an encourag­ ing fact that as of today a dwindling percentage of the German army is made up of men of the proper fight­ ing age—from 18 to 38.* * * *• ‘ TROUBLE IN ITALY Premier Bonomi of Italy has writ­ ten President Roosevelt a 100-page letter outlining in great detail many Italian complaints against the Brit­ ish. When and if this is published, it will make some of the Greek trou­ bles with the British look relatively pale.Among the grievances Bonomi outlined to the White House are the terms of the armistice forced upon Italy by the British—with American acquiescence. The armistice terms have never been published, and one big reason is that the Alhes are fearful of public reaction to the frankly imperialistic demands of Churchill. It calls for the ceding by Italy to the British of the island of Pantel- leria, just south of Sicily. This tiny island—only 58 square miles—would make the British a constant military | threat to Italy. Churchill demands it, however, in order to safeguard the “jugular, vein” of the British empire, the sea lane through the Mediterranean to j Suez. And considering the difficulty ! British shipping had going around Africa during the early part of the war, some U. S. leaders think he is j right. The Adriatic port of Trieste will be taken from Italy and made an in­ ternational free port, and the ar­ mistice also provides for relinquish­ ing a part of the Italian breadbasket, the Piedmont, to France. To sweeten the pill, the Italians were promised that the terms of the armistice would be lightened in pro­ portion to the degree of help they give the AlUes in the rest of the war against Hitler. So complete is the British control that last spring, when Soviet Russia announced recognition of the Bado- glio government, Badoglio was ad­ vised a few days later that he had no right to deal with any other gov­ ernment, Allied or not. Author of this note was Lieut. Gen. Frank Noel . Mason MacFarlane, then deputy president of the Allied control com­ mission for Italy. Result was that although recognition of Italy was an­ nounced in Moscow, no ambassador has been sent to Rome, nor has Italy ever been permitted representation in Moscow. • * * CAPITOL CHAFF C. Certain administration leaders have been urging dynamic E. A. Stephens of New Orleans to run for mayor of that city. Stephens had dinner with the President and Mrs Roosevelt recently. C Sen.

GrantlandRice - A SWIMMING enthusiast, of which there happen to be several mil­ lions, wants to know more about the Yale-Kiphuth swimming combina­ tion and what they have done. “Also,” he writes, “can you give me the history of the 100 -yard swim­ ming record? I’ve been in the navy for two years where swimming is a big part of our training, and where abiUty to swim has already saved thousands of lives. Not only every navy man, but every army man who sails on transports must be inter­ ested in swimming. Ii can easily mean life or death to us.” I Well, Bob Kiphuth has been with Yale 28 years. Yale has won 32 col­ lege sw im m ing championships in the last 36 years. , In the last 27 years, Yale has won 350 college meets, los­ ing only nine, one of the greatest rec­ ords in sport. Cer­ tainly no football coach or football team has even ap­ proached this mark. And it must be ad­ mitted that swim­ ming is not only one of our great­ est sports, but our most important sport in war. No one can deny this, especially when you consider the vast spread of the Pacific ocean. Now concerning the change in swimming records that have taken place in the last 47 years in the 100 yards free style — the greatest test in speed—here are the records. World’s 100 Yard Free Style Record: SeronCs 1897—CO —J. a. Derbyshire Scotland 1902—S9.6 —F. C. V. Lane.................EnEland 1904—58 —Richard CavU I,...,...Anslralia 1904—57.08—Cecil H ealy ....A ustralia 1906—56 —C. M. Daniels..................D. S. A. 1907—55.04—C. M. Daniels.................U. S. A. 1910—54.08—C. M. Daniels.................U. S. A. 1915—53.8 —Duke Kahanamokn U. S. A. 1922—52.6 —Johnny Weismuller U. S. A.1927—SI —Johnny WcismoUer V, S. A. 1943—50.6 —Alan Ford (Vale) U. S. A.1944—49.7 —Alan Ford (Vale) U. S. A. These records show a change of more than 10 seconds for the 100 yards in these 47 years. They show a drop from 60 seconds to 49.7, which is further proof that about 99 per cent of modem athletes are better than the old timers. It was not until 1906 that the United States began warming up. Before that Great Britain ruled the water and the waves. But in the last 38 years the U. S. A. has dominated the water by a wide margin with C. M. Daniels, Duke Kahanamoku, John­ ny Weismuller and Alan Ford in front—not overlooking other U. S. swimmers who were close along­ side. Swimming is not only one of our greatest, but one of our most important sports. For it is a sport every young American should learn. Above all else, it is a life-sav­ ing matter, which few other sports ever are.• • • AJo ‘Greatest’ There is always an insistence, year after year, from the general sporting public that the word “greatest” should be brought in. There is no such word in sport. Not even the Greeks had a name for it. This has been brought to mind by the number of letters that have come in lately asking us to com­ pare the Red Blaik army squad with the best college teams of the past. Several have asked if Army wasn’t “the greatest college team” of all time. Once again we’d like to repeat— there is no such animal. The Army backfield with Blanchard, Davis, Kenna, Minor, Hall and Lombardi was magnificent. So was the Army line. But we call your attention to the fact that some of those Bernie Bierman Minnesota teams were also terrific—also a few in other years belonging to Jock Sutherland and Pittsburgh, Rockne and Notre Dame, Howard Jones and Southern California. The Leahey-Notre Dame squad of last fall with Bertelli as quarterback was as good as any I remember. Considering what Army did to such good teams as Navy, Notre Dame, Duke and Pennsylvania it is quite possible that Army was the most destructive of all - football forces. It was certainly too de­ structive for any competition col­ lege had this fall. Red Blaik of Army doesn’t agree with me — in ranking the Notre Dame team of 1943 over the Army 1944 outfit. Rip Miller does. So does Ed McKeever, who was Leahey’s assistant last year—who turned in such a fine job this season after be­ ing completely outclassed in materi­ al by Army and Navy. 1944 Summing IJp Giving Army and Navy due and full credit, it must still be remem­ bered, in justice to other colleges, that they had the pick of over 20 fine backs from 12 colleges. Few schools had even one man who could make the grade on an Army or Navy team this season, Ohio State being the outstanding exception. In time of war it was a fine thing to have Army and Navy as good as they were. They belonged up front in what is known as a “morale way.” But they still had the pick.

After landing at Oahu, Paul and Zorie overhear Paul's brother, Steve, with whom Zorie Is infatuated, plotting against the O, S. with Lanning.

She crossed a little porch and walked down a step into the yard. She stopped beside a stunted tree. Pierre was standing less than a yard away from the two fighting men. The revolver was raised. He was waiting his chance to shoot Steve without hitting Winthrop Lan­ ning. Zorie remembered her father’s saying, “Hold your breath when you pull the trigger.” She drew a deep breath. The air was cool and sweet with the early morning fragrance of Chinese jasmine. She aimed the pistol at Pierre’s head. She held the trigger back. The • explosions almost kicked the' pistol out of her hand . . . But she did not once blink. Pierre spun about. The revolver dropped from his hand. He pitched forward into the mud. One of Steve’s muddy fists struck Mr. Lanning in the mouth. She saw. Mr. Lanning sag to his knees with his hands covering his mouth. AU of the strength left Zorie. The pistol slipped out of her hand and she sat down in the mud. Then Steve's strange, rumbling voice said, “Baby, we did it!” She put her hands to her face. She felt sick and confused. Her hands and her feet were throbbing with pain. Steve was trying to lift her up, but she was too weak to help. Steve sat her down in a chair on the little porch. She saw him at­ tending to MT. Lanning. Steve had found some pieces of rope. He tied Mr. Lanning’s hands together, then he tied his ankles together, just as M t. Lanning had tied hers, in the garage at Uluwehi. And she won­ dered what, after all he’d been through, was keeping Steve alive. She heard Steve talking, in his strange, throaty voice to Basil Stromberg. She heard Steve say he was sorry he had shot Mr. Strom­ berg in die shoulder. “I intended,” Steve said, “to shoot you in the head.” She heard other voices, and thought she was imagining them— the sharp, thin voice of the admiral, and the excited voice of Paul. It was, Zorie decided a moment be­ fore she slid out of the chair un­ conscious, very ironical. She had tried so desperately to detain Mr. Stromberg until Paul and the ad­ miral arrived. And here they were! The days were difficult, especially the first ones, but it was the nights that Zorie really dreaded. Hvery night, even with her bedside lamp on, all the things she wanted to for­ get kept coming back and living themselves all over again, so that, in spite of sleeping capsules, she could not sleep. A morning came when Zorie felt amazingly better. She had had a good night, fairly free from disturb­ ing images. She ate a big break­ fast and she asked the nurse if she couldn't get dressed and sit out in the sunlight on the little lanai that adjoined her bedroom. “Can I see some people?” Zorie asked. “I would love to see some people.” “What people would you love to see?” her nurse asked. “I would love to see Lieutenant Duncan.” Steve came out onto the lanai—but he was not alone. The admiral trot­ ted along beside him. Steve wore white slacks and a fad­ ed blue cotton polo shirt against which his muscular darkness was striking. He bore surprisingly few. evidences of that battle to the death —almost to the death—in the mud at Kokee. There was a small swell­ ing above his right eye, a healing scratch on his chin. That was about all. He was as splendid as usual, and the moment she saw him, that old feeling came over Zorie. Bis blue eyes were sparkling. He carried a ginger flower lei in one hand. He bent over and looped it about her neck. "With the compliments,” he said In Ius deep, lazy voice, “of the Democratic Administration, the cheering populace, and the entire United States Navy—with especial gratitude from my chief in Hono­ lulu.” The admiral said excitedly, “But how are you, my dear?” "Practically recovered, thank you.” “We’ve been very anxious about you—and very anxious to see you.” “The nurse,” Steve reminded him, “said ten minutes, and not to excite few.” “But ten minutes won’t begin to be long enough!” Zorie protested. "There are so many things I want to know! Where are Mr. Stromberg and Mr. Lanning?” “In Honolulu—in custody," Steve answered. “I saw them a ;couple of days ago. They are still a little bitter at the way you outsmarted them on one point after another all night long and held them until the U. S. Navy arrived. But they be­ lieve In putting credit where- it be­ longs. They admire you tremen­ dously. They spoke of you so flat­ teringly that my ears burned for you.” “What will happen to them?” Steve shrugged. “The case is out of my hands and I can now return to my job at Pearl Harbor. I do not like Naval Intelligence and I hope I will never be assigned to it again.” "There is one thing I am very curious to know,” Zorie said. “Does this magical radio device that all this excitement was ahout—this JY- 419—really exist?” “That,” Steve gently answered, “I consider a military secret not to be entrusted to the mercy of an inno­ cent young girl.” “I will try,” Zorie said, “to blush with maidenly modest shame for asking the question. There’s anoth­ er thing that’s puzzled me. I’m granting, of course, that you are bright.” “Next to being a genius,” Steve said, "comes the ability to recognize it.” - ....... - “The historic night I met you in the rain by the trash basket, you thought, for- a moment that I was Anna Boland.” “Well?” said Steve. “Later, when the admiral decided to take -me "along,-you must have realized that my presence might jeopardize your, plans.” . “I gave it some thought,” Steve admitted. “While I was waiting out­ side your Auht Hannah’s, I tried to look at it as my war-muddled friends would look at it. I reasoned that they knew Anna Boland; had been shot in Berlin, that it would be very easy to check up ofi you, and that they would 'realize’ that, if I were double-crossing Ihehi1; I wouldn’t be dumb enough • to—associate- openly with Anna, Boland ........... Will you please tell me" 'why "you brought along that thesis on the retooling of the Waifenfabrik Krupp "plant? I honestly .think it w as that harmless piece of literature that tipped the scales.” .. ' “Your grandfather,’' Zorie an­ swered, “was standing over me while I packed.' Wq were trying to catch a plane. Remember? I grabbed everything in sight. I hap­ pened to grab that.” ‘‘But why had you saved it?” “You wouldn't understand,” Zorie answered. “Only a girl who has copied dozens of theses and knows how badly most engineers spell and piinctUate would understand . . . There is another question, Steve. . . Pierre—” “I am so sorry,” Steve gravely stopped her, “to have- -to tell you that that gallant fellow died of lead poisoning.” K v-= During these long white nights, she had wondered-so ofteir-if Pierre had died. Now that'She»kneW," she could face it as a' moral issue. She, Zorie Corey, had deliberately shot and killed ai. man! But.-now-;that she knew, she experienced no sense of guilt. The..fact was chilling, but it left her.with no.regrets. “I f you don’t ' mind,” Steiie was saying, “there are some things my grandfather wants to consult you about.” “The Book?” Zorie asked. “No. The admiral has somehow acquired, the notion—perhaps from the recent front page headlines in which you have figured so prettily— that you are an unusually dear- minded, judicious young woman. He is, for example, determined to keep my brother in the doghouse for cer­ tain careless things he said on the historic night of the dinner party.” “Where he belongs!” the admiral said belligerently. “Well,” said Steve, “I argue that the admiral was throwing his weight -around too freely when he dragged Paul out here. I also argue that the admiral is making a. pest of himself in popping in on ali his grandchil­ dren the way he does and trying to run their lives.” ■ “But it’s good fpr them!” the ad­ miral cried. “It keeps them on their toes!” “One moment, Admiral,” Steve said firmly. “Court is now in ses­ sion and you are out of order.” The admiral’s white hair stirred in the soft sea breeze. His china-blue eyes were glowing with determina­ tion. His jaw was more prominent than usual. “Now, look here, my dear—” he began with his amazing vigor. “It’s no use, Admiral,” Zorie said. “If you really want my opinion— Steve is right.” “But Paul needs a lesson!” the admiral shrilled. “He needs the healthy, wholesome kind of outdoor work he’ll get on a plantation. Fur­ thermore—” “Admiral,” Zorie stopped him, “you don’t understand Paid. He be­ longs where books are. Let him go back to Elleryton.” “And lose you?” the admiral yelped. “But I’m staying here to help you with your book.” “But you’re marrying Paul!” Zorie looked quickly from his seamed red face to Steve’s big brown one. She sat forward in her chair. “Hasn’t Paul told you? We agreed the other night we are completely wrong for each other. Our engage­ m ent is broken. Infactl Paulbroke it himself.” “This,” Steve said lazily, “is very interesting. I don’t know when I’ve heard anything so interesting.” “Our ten minutes are up,” said the admiral. “Admiral,” said Steve, “will you kindly tell that nurse that I’ve got to have five minutes alone with her patient?” “She won’t like it,” said the ad­ miral. . “She will love it,” Zorie assured him. The admiral trotted out. Steve pulled a chair across the lanai so that it was close to Zorie’s and fae- ingGher. He sat down, bent for­ ward, and looked at her. His blue eyesj were very serious. He took heribands. Zotie’s heart was beating rapidly. :She was reasonably certain that, in ;a very short time, she would be in this man’s arms. Something in his 'manner made it seem imminent. She recalled a night on the Pacific when she had stood beside Steve at the rail and watched the moon come up. Amber had crossed the deck .anil , said, in her assured way, “Steve! When are you going to ask me for a dance?” At that time, as Zorie recalled it, she-had reflected with bitterness that she'wouldn’t have the courage to ask a inan to dance with her if she lived to.be a hundred. “Steve,” she said, “I love you. I wonder if you love me.” . "Zorie,” Steve answered, bendjng closer, “I have been in love with you from the night I m et you in the rain,” - • Zorie got up. “Steve,” she said, “if there is anything I can say or do to encourage you, don’t hesitate to ask for my co-operation.” ITHE END] I I O SELECTED FICTION BY GIFTED AUTHORS S IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONA!, UNDAYIcHooL Lesson B7 HABOLD L.

J E s is BEGINS HIS MINISTRY LESSON TEXT—Matthew 3:13-4:11. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou Shalt worship the Lord thy .God, and Him only Shalt thou serve.—Matthew 4:10. Ready for service—this is the next scene from our Lord’s life which comes before us in Matthew. Thirty years had passed since His birth, but these are hidden in silence, save for the one glimpse of Him in the temple which is given only by Luke. These were not years of idleness or luxury. He was obedient to Joseph and Mary. He worked in the carpen­ ter shop. He fellowshiped with God’s people, and best of all, with His heavenly Father. He showed obedi­ ence and faithfulness in life’s ordi­ nary things. And then, all at once, the day of His public ministry was at hand. His baptism and temptation were a part, the opening event, of that ministry. We find Him: 1. Identified With Sinners (3:13-15). John, the fiery forerunner of Jesus, had come with a burning message of repentance, and sinners were coming to him to be baptized as a sign of their contrition. Suddenly Jesus appeared. John pointed to Him as the “Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). When He offered Himself for baptism, John demurred. There was no sin in Jesus that He should need baptism. There was Ho occasion for Him to express in a special act His obedi­ ence, for He always did the will of God. (Heb. 10:7). Why then was Jesus baptized? We find the answer in the central pur­ pose for which He came into the world, namely, to save sinners. Here at His official entrance upon that work He, who though He knew no sin was to become sin for us, took the sinner’s place in baptism. It wa 3 not because He had Himself sinned, but because He was to become the substitute for the sinner. What mar­ velous condescension and grace! n. Approved of God (3:16, 17). The Holy Spirit, like a dove, rested upon Him. The dove is one of the symbols of the Spirit, and speaks of gentleness, meekness, purity, peace and love. Out of the eternal dwelling places in heaven came the voice of the eternal Father expressing His ap­ proval and pleasure in His son. The person and work of Christ bear their own commendation of Him to us as divine. Here we have the Fath­ er’s word, and the Holy Spirit’s com­ ing. Thus we have here the entire Trinity. HI. Tempted by Satan (4:1-11). A time of testing was ahead. Jesus did not fear it, but notice that He did not seek it either. He was led by the Spirit into this great conflict. We may learn that we must not seek nor put ourselves in the way of temptation, but when it comes we may meet it without fear. God is with us. He was tempted as the Messiah, and the Son of God, and it was a real testing, one from which we need to learn what to do when tempted. It was threefold: physical, spiritual and vocational. 1. The Physical Temptation. Forty days of conflict with Satan made His body hungry. Under such circumstances it was a terrific temptation to use His divine power to make bread. He could have done it, but He did not. One doesn’t have to live, but one does have to obey and honor God. Note how effectively Christ used Scripture (from Deuteronomy—have you read it lately?). It is the only sure answer to Satan’s temptations, but you must learn it if you are going to use it. 2. The Spiritual Temptation. Here Satan asked Him to presume on the grace of God. If he cannot get you to abandon your faith, he will urge you to go to some fanatical and unscriptural extreme in using it. God always cares for His own when they are in the place where He wants them to be, but He does not deliver us from foolhardy and unnecessary risks which we want to call “faith.” 3. The Vocational Temptation. Christ had come into this world to wrest from Satan, the usurper (who is now the prince of this world— John 12:31), the kingdoms of this world. Satan suggested to Him that He could accomplish this by simply bowing down to him—thus escaping Calvary’s cross. Satan is busy urging men to take spiritual bypaths. He has his own leaders who skillfully evade and avoid the cross. They have a religion without the offense of the cross, but, mark it well, it is not Christianity, even though it bears that name. Jesus met and defeated Satan by the use of Scripture, and by honor­ ing God the Father. Jesus’ re­ sistance of the devil caused him to go away. It still works. Read James 4:7. Then came the angels to minis­ ter to Him. Victory over the enemy of our souls brings peace and spiritual refreshment.

One of Charlie Monroe's hillbilly musicians was talking over the ra­ dio a short while ago telling how much he loved the Mocksvillefolks Those hillbilly fellows should like the Davie county folks, for they have carried away hundreds of Davie county dollars. Cotton farmers In Davie as well as other cotton counties, are find­ ing it a difficult proposition to gel their cotton picked. It might be a good idea for the Government to send all strikers to the cotton counties and make them pick cot. ton. A government that can draft boys for the army and send them thousands of miles awav from home to sacrifice their lives, should be able to come to the relief of the overworked farmer whose sons are in service.

Fruit desserts are kind to low-on-sugar budgets. Sugar-Shy Sweets Have the holidays exhausted your supply of sugar and sweets? Today’s collection of reci­ pes is especially planned for the low sugar budget, for strange though it m ay seem , there are many foods which can be fixed with a minimum of sugar. Try packaged mixes, dried fruits, candied fruits, and the sugar sub­ stitutes if the sugar canister is get­ ting empty. There are many pack­ aged fillings which will relieve sugar from being used in pie and cake fillings, and these come in a variety of flavors. Substitute as many of the. fresh fruits for dessert as possible/and if they are baked, sweeten with maple or corn syrup. If your favorite cookie recipes call for one cup of sugar, use % of a cup. They will be just as good, if a little less sweet: Marble Molasses Cake. Va cup butter or substitute 94 cup sugar 2 eggs beaten 2 cups sifted cake dour 2 teaspoons baking powder 14 teaspoon salt % cup milk 2 teaspoons allspice 3 tablespoons molasses Have all ingredients at room tem­ perature. Measure out flour, sugar, salt and butter in bowl. Beat for 2 minutes. Add eggs and milk and beat for another two minutes. Take out one-third of batter and mix with molasses and allspice. Drop by spoonfuls into greased loaf pan, al ternating light and dark mixture Bake in a moderate oven for I hour. Serve plain or frosted. Angel Cake. VA cups light corn syrup 5 egg whites 5 egg yolks I teaspoon vanilla I teaspoon baking powder I cup sifted flour I tablespoon lemon juice H teaspoon salt Boil syrup until it forms a soft bail when tested in cold water. Beat egg whites stiff but not dry, pour syrup over them slowly, con­ tinue beating. Add lemon juice and vanilla. Beat this mixture until it holds its shape. Fold in egg yolks, beaten until thick and lemon-colored. Fold in sifted dry ingredients. Bake in large ungreased tube pan in a slow oven (300 deg.) until well browned and done, about 60 minutes. Invert on rack until cake loosens. Ice with following:., Lynn Says: Sogar-Savers: When stewing fresh or dried fruits or making fruit sauces, add sugar or syrup just a few minutes before cooking is finished. Don’t forget to add a pinch of salt to the fruit while it cpoks. Both these little tricks will help make the fruit seem sweeter without using up a great deal of sugar. Dried fruits are rich in sweeten­ ing and may be made into fruit whips without any sugar. Simply stew the fruit, cook and put through a sieve. Beat two egg whites until stiff and use Tb cup of dark com syrup beaten into them. The amount of fruit puree required for this amount of egg v/hite-syrup mixture is % cup. Since powdered sugar is more readily obtained than the granu­ lated type, use it in icings. Pow­ dered sugar is especially good when mixed in the proportion of one cup to a three-ounce package of cream cheese and flavored with orange juice.

Deep down the child in people remains alive, even though on the outside they grow old and gray. That’s the reason folks never lose their taste for fairy tales. In wartime we particularly want to believe goodness always tri- umphs, that Prince Charming invariably slays- the ogre and res­ cues the Princess Beautiful. The fairy tale in films has nev­ er been more pop­ ular than it is to­ il Cornel WiIde Evelyn Keyes day. Columbia is basing its most pretentious pro­ duction of the year on “A Thou­ sand and One Nights,” a techni­ color fantasy of o ld Bagdad. They’ve taken the Aladdin and his lamp story and are giving it a sophisticated twist, with Cornel Wilde playing Aladdin as a ,crooner, the Frankie Boy of an ear­ lier age, Evelyn Keyes as a jive- mad jinniyeh. Fantasy de Laxa Director Alfred E. Green assures m e that the picture will have all the fairy tale fixings—magic carpets, giants, a subterranean river with crocodiles which change into lotus flowers just in the nick o’ time, harem beauties by the dozen, and an under-water ballet that promises to make the old Annette Kdlermann subsea movies made during the first World war look like flotsam and jet­ sam. Even before World War I, fairy tales were popular on the screen. As early as the turn of the century Georges Melies, in France, discov­ ered that movies could show magic in a way the stage never could man­ age. It wasn't long before America showed feature length fairy tales and fantasies. One of the earliest was Mary Pickford in “Cinderella.” Owen Moore, Mary’s husband at the time, played the prince, and while the “transformation” scenes were crude beside those in “A Thousand and One Nights,” they made people gasp when the pumpkin became a coach and Mary’s rags turned into royal glad rags before their eyes. Lavish in Old Days, Too It was Annette Kellermann, one­ time champion swimmer, who made the biggest splash of that period in an elaborate fantasy called “Nep­ tune’s Daughter” and ,another, “A Daughter of the Gods.” Annette brought the one-piece bathing suit to fame, and gals have never dis­ carded it since. These films were made on location in the Bahamas and Cuba under Herbert Brenon. William Fox starred the Fox Kid­ dies in elaborate versions of fairy tales, with youngsters playing both junior and adult parts. Remember blonde Virginia Lee Corbin and Frances Carpenter in “Babes in the Wood” and “Jack and the Bean­ stalk” ? Those movies cost fortunes. Doug Fairbanks knew the dream of youth better than any one else. In “Robin Hood,” “The Thief of Bagdad,” and “The Black Pirate,” he gave us some of the best fairy tale's the screen has had. Walt Disney, bless him, really brought the fairy tale to full flower with his magic brush. “Snow White,” which is now revived, is a lovely thing for kids of all ages. And now, thanks to a special campaign on my part, it will be revived each Christ­ mas. Try, Try Again “Alice in Wonderland” came along, too, just at the time the screen was learning to talk. Para­ mount made the mistake of cov­ ering such famous faces as those of Gary Cooper and W. C. Fields with masks. S h ak esp eare’s “ M idsum m er Night’s Dream” was given a spec­ tacular production by the late Max Reinhardt. Judy Garland played Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz,” based on the Baum books, and you certainly haven’t forgotten her singing “Over the Rainbow.” Yes, there’s no end to fairy tales, and we’re all happier because of them. It’s good to be able to adopt the faith and eyes of a child on oc­ casion and sail through a thousand and one nights of romance and ad­ venture on a magic carpet. • • • Democracy Stitt at Work Where else could it happen but in America? Only a few short years ago I was talking like a mother to a tall handsome youngster, scared out of his wits about playing a scene in “Children of Divorce.” Yet the other night that youngster, Gary Cooper, bid $100,000 in war bonds for one of my silly hats, and quipped: ' I just wanted to get the durned tiling off the market.” That same kid is not only starring in but producing his own picture. And in many ways he’s still the shy, reticent lad.

Governor Broughton has com­ muted the sentence of a young Negro girl convicted of murder and sentenced to die. She was only 15 years old when she cemmltted the crime. The Governor saved her life solely on the ground of her extreme youth W e think he did right. There surely are better ways to deal with juvenile delinquents tljan to kill them.- - And we ought to be able to find better ways to handling them than to keep them locked up in pri­ sons. If there be those who think there Is not a better wav to save way­ ward youth than by invoking the letter of the law, we commend for their careful reading, a newspaper story that came out of Cleveland, Ohio, during this Christmas season. It is a story related bv Newton D. Baker, Secretary of W ar under Woodrow Wilson. Mr. Baker died at his home in Cleveland seven years ago. But not long before be died he told this story to one of the editors of The Cleveland News, after the editor promised him that it would n it be made public until some tima after Mr. Baker’s death. The incident related by Mr. Ba­ ker happened one night in 1912 when he was Mayer of Cleveland. H e said his chauffer drew to the curb and entered a stose. A figure stepped to the automobile iu which Mr. Baker sat alone Following is the story of what happened then, as related by the Cleveland editor: A revolver was thrust through the side of the window and a voice remarked: "T his is a boldnp.” Mr Bakersaid I was frightened but I asked what be wanted. uYour money,” be replied. ‘•Bet­ ter hand it over without any iu ss/ Something in the young man’s face appealed to me. I couldn’t think ot him as a robber. "W on’t you tell me why you are doing this?” ! asked. “ I had to, misfer. There’s no one willing to give me a job, and I’m hungry.” “ Suppose I were to offer you a job? Suppose I were to give you some money—a loan, say—until yon could get back on your feet>’ T he gun was withdrawn as quick­ ly as it appeared. I took out my business card and a £10 bill. “ If you come around to my of­ fice tomorrow I’ll see tnat you get the job,” I told him. Mr. Baker called a business ac­ quaintance that night, asking him to give the youth a job. The friend consented The next morning I wondered if I’d done right, but my doubts dis. appeared as my caller showed up. His face and hands were scrubbed to a pink. His clothes were old but neat. . ’’This much I'U promise you. hesatd. ‘'You’ll never have to regret whal you’ve done ” Today my young friend holds a highly responsible position and there's no telling how fa he’ll go After rtlating this story the ed itor added this: “ I passed the home of the man w*io bad ptessed the gun on Mr. Biker during the mowstorm a tew nights ago. In the window was a holly 'wreath— and in the center of the wreath a lighted candle.” Yes, in this instance Newton D. Baker, chief executive of a great dty, proved that there was a bet. t$r way to save a delinquent youth than Iqr invoking the letter of the law. Not all delinquents can be saved to society in the way that Mr. Ba ker saved this young man. But we have faith enough in mankind to believe that a vast majority of Soys and girls who go wrong could be. rescued from a career of crime Ity the helping band of a friend at the critical moment in their lives. The World's GreatNeedl The Hometown Paper Ths world’s great need Is Jusus. This need stands supreme. It towers above the need of learning, better me:hods of farming, better social conditions, better preachers, teachers and reformers. We rea­ lize the conditions of tbe world is very critical. This cannot be truth- full denied. It is critical from the standpoint of war, bloodshed and destruction; critical from the stand­ point of war, bloodshed and de struction; critical from the stand- of finances, as multiplied bllliont of dollars are being expended to carry on tbe dirtv business of sin and wickedness along every line; criti­ cal from tbe standpoint of drunk, enness, adultry, immorality and a spiritual dearth. No doubt mil lions of people are homeless, hun­ gry, almost naked, heartbroken, uneasy and distressed. Many are wandering up and down tbe earth seeking shslter, food, rainment, comfort, and that which will satis­ fy their need of body, mind, soul and spirit. This need can only be found in the Christian religion—found bv ac­ cepting Christ into tbe heart, soul and life, and living to do His bless­ ed will. He said long ago, "Come unto me. all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (M att, it 28) Again He said, "Seek >e first tbe kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all; and all these things shall he added unto you.” (M att. 6-3 3) That is, all necessary things of life shall be given unto those who seek God and His righteousness. In God, in Christ, in tbe blessed Holv Christ, all need is found. Our Lord came in person to this earth that He might establish a plan of re demption whereby -we should be saved from all sin and wickedness, which is the cause of all want and distress, and to supply all our need “ according to his riches in glory.” Praise His holy name. However, men and nations seek everything else, generally speaking, and leave Christ the Saviour, God of Father, and the Holy Gnost the Comforter, out of their lives. They absolutely reverse the order that Christ gave them Hence war, hunger, distress, strife, hatred, en­ vy, revenge, trouble, heartache, povery, want, misery, woe, death, and damnation O how the world needs Christ and all of His wond­ erful principles, purity, holiness, peace, love, innocence, goodness, greatness, beauty and wonderful power!

President Orders Draft­ ing Washington, Jan. 3. — Selective Service has been toid by the White House to start drafting all defered farm work=rs between the sjres of 18 and 25 that the draft law permits. The ball was started rolTne by War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes, who acted with approval from President Roosevelt. There are 364,000 men from 18 through 25 years who now hold draft deferments by reason of their farm employment. Byrnes told Selective Service that the army and navy believes more men fro/n this category nfust he in­ ducted in order to effectively prose- cute the war. Said Byrnes—“The President feels in view of existing conditions that a- griculture. like our other war in­ dustries; can with few exceptions be carried on by those in the older age groups.” The war mobilization director pointed out he had been told that if more men were made aveilahle from farms—then deferred men in the next higher age group would have to be drafted and this category. Bryant said, would include men most of whom are fathers The group of men holding farm deferments is the Iareest remaining source of young men for the draft/ There are 364.000 men from 18 to 3 7 draft age group have been df- ferred as essential farm workers. Byrnes has asked Hershey to so far as possible to draft the young men in view of tbe Tvdings amend­ ment, which aims to exempt actual farm workers from the draft. The Tydings amendment directs dratt boards to exempt essential farm workers but leaves the standards for deferment up to local hoards In ite past, selective service has set uo an advisory plan under which work un­ its were counted toward deferments.

Too Conventional Proposing to reduce passenger travel, the director of the Office of Defense Transportation says the pnhlic hasn’t been co-operating, it has heen traveling. His Grst move to make more people stay at home is expected to be directed against conventions and such gatherings. He would help there in several ways. In the first place, a person wouldn’t have to fight his way to get on a train, knocking down a couple of women and stamping on a child. Having arrived at the conven­ tion city, he wouldn’t have to wear nut scarce shoe leather going from one hotel to another to find they didn’t care if he slept on the street or never slept again. And he wouldn’t have to line up in restau­ rants for food be didn’t like and might get after a half hour. Americans have always been a little convention crazy.

When served with a garnish of lemon and parsley or one of the excellent sauces, fish can become a regular family favor­ ite. Condiments should be used wisely so that fish can take on an agree­ able flavor. Their flavors should be subtle rather than pronounced so that the delicate flavor of the fish is not completely lost.

Seteosed Pr Western Newapeser Vatom, G raatlandB tce A QUERY comes in from far away Leyte in the Philippines to this effect—“What is the distance record for the forward- pass?" . This is one of the most interest- ing, and one of the most unproved records in sport. Years ago this for­ ward - passing dis­ tance crown was given to Brick . Mid­ ler of California who was credited with a 55-yard pass against Ohio State, as we recall the faint and faraway details. Brick Mul­ ler is still credited with the distance record, registered as 70 yards in many dust-covered guides. Later on along the West coast many conceded a new record to Kenny Washington, U. C. L. A. star, who was supposed to have thrown a completed pass for 68 yards against Southern California. - “It was in that neighborhood,??. Howard Jones of Southern. Califor­ nia told me later. “It may have been 65 yards—it may have been 70 yards. It was'too long for me. I couldn't tell you the exact distance.?* Brick Muller and Kenny Washing­ ton were undoubtedly two of the great long-distance passers on the West coast — probably two of the best in football history. IsbelVs Long Peg The longest completed pass I ever saw came in a game between the. professional AU Stars against the Green Bay Packers In California- several years ago. Green Bay . ,in this game had the baU on its one- yard line with only a few seconds left to play. Cecil IsbeU of Green Bay faded back of his goal line and whipped a long, high one through the balmy Califoniia air. Don Hutson was already Under way. He galloped down the. field with two All Stars alongside.. Sudi denly Hutson, with Us amazing speed, put on full steam, ran away from bis guardians and took the-ball around the mid-field strip at , least 65 yards from the spot where Isbeli had thrown the pass. It Was an easy touchdown, I happened to be sitting on the Packers bench where I could measure the throw. ; ’ - AU of this stiU doesn’t answer the Leyte sergeant’s question; ; There probably isn’t.an y answer. I was talking this problem over with Ed­ die Dooley, Dartmouth’s long-disr tance passer. A 75-Yard Toss ' - - ■ “We had a contest at Dartmouth once,” Eddie said, “for distance passing. I was to pass against Swede Oberlander. We had no following wind. In this contest I passed on the carry for 75 yards; and Swede hit the 73-yard m ark.. This . is the only occasion I recaU where for­ ward passes were accurately meas­ ured. But remember, this Was not in competition. It may be...that someone has passed the baU over 75 yards on a carry, without a favor­ ing wind. I doubt it. Of course, if you have a favoring gale at your back it would not be difficult to pass 80 or 85 yards.” The main trouble is this—if you can pick up a passer who can heave the baU over 60 yards—how can you find a Hutson or another end who can ramble that far and catch it? I recaU, vaguely, one pass in a Dartmouth gaine against Cornell, where Eddie Dooley, from his- own 35-yard line, hit Bjorkman on the shoulder, 65 yards away, and just at the goal line. The great passers of more modem times have been Sammy Baugh; Sid Luckman and Glenn Dobbs-And; it might be mentioned that Cecil Is­ bell and Arnle Berber were no punks. Two of the most accurate passers I’ve ever known were Ben­ ny Friedman and Sammy Bangh. They were not 65-yard marksmen. Bnt they could hit a gnat In the eye from 10 to 30 yards. So could Uttie Davey O’Brien.. There b another great and now forgotten passer.' - There is no set or proved record on the longest'pass ever thrown in actual competition—a pass that, was caught and held. Maybe Brick Muller of California is the'm an;' Maybe Kemqr Washington-’-: of U.C.L.A. It might be IsbelLte Hut­ son. I know of no other end who could go as far to catch one’as HUt-' son of the Creen Bay- Packers.- - I, only know that Eddie Dooley could cover 75 yards through the air' and’ Eddie today can hit the 65-yard mark, long after he has been-away from the Green of Hanover. • • • Stars in Service AU this m atter about service training, rough life in-the barracks, lack of time to play or practice, said to be wrecking skill timing, is. about 97 per cent bunk. It doesn't take any too. long to swing back to the matter of touch and timing or to the more impor­ tant fundamentals. Army sergeant? Ferrier and Harrison, and Sammy Snead, late of the navy, have al­ ready proved this point In recent golf tournaments, SEWlNCfrCinCLE NEEDLEWORK lively Polka Dots for Gift Apron * _ ____S—_ . .

Tbe program contemplated a series of educa tional meetings with teachers and pupils under the direction of Miss MaribeIIeGoin Health Educator of tbe Health Depart­ ment. examinations by the Coanty Nurses to select pupils who need a physical ex­amination by Dr. Koy J. Heg-. and im­ munizations for smallpox and diphtheria and whooping cough for those pupils who have not been vaccinated. The first part of the County Health pro gram was carried out by the teachers dur­ing the eariy months of the school year. Teachers conducted such examinations as they were able to make, weighing and measuring the pupils, checking such items of physical conditions as could be detect ed by the teachers. These findings were tabulated for each school and a tabulation for the county was Cumpleted in the office of Soperintendent Charles E. Erwin. The findings were presonted to County Board of Health and a plan for the Health pro­ gram was worked out. bindings of teach ers showed a serious need of immediate action toward the health conditions of the school pupils. Ol the 2,388 white pupils examinod in the county 437 showed signs of undernourishment. There were 102 with noticeable hearing gefscts; 342 with de­ fective vision, and 24 with orthopedic problems conditions. There werr 981 pu­pils io need of dental attention and 5S3 with bad tonsils. Twenty five senous heart cases were discovered with the pos sibility that most of tbe 5S3 tou-.il cases are fast developing into heart cases. Of those who have not been vaccinated tor smallpox wiihin the past seven years are 563 pupils. MissGuin will be at the Cooleemee schools, on Canuary 22nd. She has al­ ready visited tbe other schools. Tbe schedule for the general meetings with the pupils at which the motion pic­ ture will be ehown is aa follows: January 22.9:30, Farmington Schools. January 22, I p. m . Mocksville Schools January 29.9:30 a m., Cooleemee. The public, is cordially invited to attend these above shows and to bring any five- year old children. Nurses will make a preliminary exami­ nation of pupils who are to be .exomined so that all pupils will be ready for Dr, Hege on tbe dates as follows: January 19—Dr. Hege and Nurses Ad- uance School.January 24—Dr. Hege and Nurses Farm­ ington School. January 26—Dr Hege and Nurses at Mocksville School January 30—Dr. Uege and Nurfes Coo Ieemee School. In addition to making physical exami­ nations of chose pupils who have been se­ lected by the nurses. Dr. Hege will give smallpox vaccinations to the 563 pupils whose cards show the need, and will give dipbtbeiia and whooping cough vaccina­tions to all primary pupils who have not been immunized in pro school clinics. Pa rents of children who are five and will be gin school next year are urged to bring the pre school children on the dotes listed above so that no child will be missed| An educational program for those in need ot dental treatment was begun on Monday. Dr. Zimmerman will spend four weeks in the county and will examine and treat as many of tbe pupils of the first three grades as be can possibly see In connection with his work there will be a Puppet Show for the children of all the schools to explain the need for denial at­ tention.

NO MILITARY ERROR Those close up to the war picture ere convinced that aside from faulty Intelligence, there was no one single military error which brought on the swift and disastrous German break­ through. Undoubtedly some intelligence of­ ficers will be disciplined or broken for failing to evaluate the concentra­ tion of German troops opposite the First army about a week before­ hand. But there were other factors contributing to the reverse, none of which can be laid at the doorstep of a single commander. Basically they are factors which only General Eisenhower and General Marshall themselves could properly evaluate and act on. Here are some of the inside, basin factors involved: I. General Marshall himself ordered the U. S. offensive which began November 8 , and which continued with battering-ram tactics until Von Rnndstedt turned the tide against ns. Mar­ shall, visiting the battlefront in October, said that daring the winter the Germans eonld mo­ bilize 100 new divisions, so it was wise for us to clear them off the west bank of the Rhine before winter closed in. 2. There was and is no disposition to doubt the wisdom of General Mar­ shall’s decision. However, these battering-ram tactics cost men, also tire men out. The American system is to keep divisions on the front line, bringing up fresh men only for re­ placements. Thus the divisions now at the front have been fighting stead­ ily since the landing in Normandy last June—with, of course, a lot of men coming up as replacements. Germans Rested Troops. 3. This is considered an excellent system and gets results. However, the Germans immediately took out their battle troops after Normandy and sent them to .rest behind the lines. The Nazi boys and old men we encountered in the Siegfried line made us think the German army was shot to pieces, but it wasn’t. The experienced battle troops, now refreshed after a long rest, are tak­ ing the offensive against us. 4. The war department itself was responsible for a lot of the favorable news which gave the public a gen­ eral feeling of overconfidence. One of its most important indications was that some 800,000 German troops were killed or taken prisoners during the clean-up of France, mak­ ing a sizable hole in the Nazi army. Of these, however, about 400,000 were Russian-Ukrainian labor bat­ talions. Thus the American public had reasons to believe that a large slice of the German army was deci­ mated. 5. Germany’s new Royal Tiger tank is superior to onrs and we have known it. It is extremely difficult to knock ont of commis­ sion. However, we thought the war was going to be over soon and that we could finish np the job with the tanks already on hand—of which we had tremen­ dous quantities. More recently, however, we have started build­ ing a big tank which can equal or better the Royal Tiger. Robots Beat Airplanes. 6. Robot bombs and rocket bombs can fly in any weather whereas air­ planes can’t. Also they don’t re­ quire men. Thus the Germans have been able to bomb us from the air— by robots and rockets—while be­ cause of bad weather we couldn’t bomb them. The Nazis lay out a square of territory in and behind our lines, then systematically pep­ per it with rocket bombs. They can aim them well enough to hit withm certain areas. 7. The German system is to at­ tack suddenly with tremendous force and heavy armor in one small area; they concentrated hundreds of tanks in their first attack. Once they broke through, they spread out. Also the Nazis had little to lose. 8 . However, it remains a fact that wc had advance information of great Nazi activity for about a week before the attack came, though apparently we sized it np as preparation for retreat rather Bian attack. Note — Cen. Courtney Hodges, against whose First army the blow was launched, is regarded as an average American general. He was not able to make the grade at West Point, but immediately enlisted in the army and has worked his' way up. He was a major in command of infantry in the last war, one rank higher than Marshal], who was then a captain, and has commanded in­ fantry all his career since, having risen to be chief of infantry shortly before we entered the war.... UNDER THE DOME C The expansion in the tire industry, announced by WPB, inspires no cheers from anyone in the tire in­ dustry. Labor is unhappy because manpower difficulties ride out Akron as the site for the new plants. Akron is a strong union town, and organi­ zation there is fairly simple. . . . The big rubber companies are un­ happy because they have no assur­ ance that the new tire plants will be ripped apart after the war. They are afraid of new postwar competi. tion. 6Waddy’s Wagon’ Comes to Life at Saipan The crew of “Waddy’s Wagon,!’ fifth B-29 to take off on the initial Tokyo mission from Saipan, and first to land, pose to duplicate their caricatures on the plane.

' By VIRGINIA VALE IT WAS w ay back in the days w hen R aoul W alsh w as m ak­ ing “The Big T rail.” H e w as telling D irecto rJo h n F o rd about his difficulties in. finding an un- i known to play the lead. Ju stth e n ! a tall, good looking, hefty.fellow ; loped past them — one Marion Mi- ’ chael Morrison, truck driver, former ! member of'the University of South- • em California team. “There’s your i man,” said Ford. “Let his hair ! grow a little and you’ve an actor.” I So they tested him, ordered him to GT Show in Belgium m m U. S., servicemen are shown enter­ ing a show to see “Saratoga Trunk,v’ In a section recently taken from the Germans. The USO has been able to keep the shows moving to the front, as the troops advance into Germany. JOHN WAYNE let his hair grow, and changed his name to John Wayne, who justified Ford’s opinion by making a hit in “The Big Trail” ; he’s now hang­ ing up new records in “Tall in the Saddle.” Virginia Mayo’s story is a little different. She was touring the coun­ try as ringmistress of a horse act when Samuel GoIdwyn caught the act at a New York night club, of­ fered her a contract, and started her on a training period. She made her bow as a Goldwyn Girl in “Up in Arms,” then sat waiting for her second assignment. It was worth waiting for — the role opposite Bob Hope in “The Princess and the Pi­ rate.” Glenn Ford, a Columbia Pictures star before he enlisted in the ma­ rines, expects to resume his career as soon as he’s recovered from the disability that resulted in his discharge. After rehearsing one of the more dramatic scenes in “Meet Me in St. Louis” little Margaret O’Brien dashed off the stage and ran into her stand-in. The latter youngster looked at her anxionsly. “Why, Mar­ garet,” said she. “You’ve been cry­ ing! What’s the mattef?” “Oh,” sobbed Margaret, mopping her eyes. “Don’t worry about it—it’s just part of my job!” Previous Rose Queens of the Pasa­ dena Tournament of Roses have been signed for films only after winning the contest—Cheryl Walker, of "Stage Door Canteen,” for in­ stance. But Producer Frank Ross and Director Mervyn LeRoy took no chances this year; they jumped in and signed all seven of the candi­ dates considered in the finals, for roles in “The Robe,” after looking at newspaper photographs. What with Grace Moore standing on her head and other opera and movie stars really letting them­ selves go on his radio program, “Let Yourself Go,” Milton Berle has at last got an air show worthy of ,his talents. It should lead the popu­ larity polls soon. With his “seeing eye” dog, "Duch­ ess,” supervising the proceedings, blind Jobn Urich, of Washington, makes his IOth blood donation at the Red Cross blood donor center in Washington, D. C. Every- Tuesday night when the “Roy Rogers Show” is broadcast over Mutual, the actors can visual­ ize certain members of their listen­ ing audience with no difficulty at all —36 youngsters, all children of the members of the cast. Bob Hope has a new feather in his cap; on January 17 be goes to Philadelphia to receive the Poor Richard award, a gold medal pre­ sented annually to the man who has achieved outstanding success in his field. Hope is the second entertainer in the club’s history to receive the award; Will Rogers was the first. National Broadcastihg company, alone among American networks, has presented a day-by-day, eye­ witness account of the disturbances in Athens, since the first shot.

M > tW /N K L E THEODORE PRATT W.N.IL RELEASE CHAPTER I Jl never in the world ever oc­ curred to Mr. Winkle that he would ioe drafted and sent off to the wars. ;t?ar was for young men, not for a settled married man of forty-four. There was talk of the Army not 'wanting the older men, but nothing bad yet been done about this. The ihing being done was what Mr. Win­ kle received in this morning’s mail. Wben he reached in the mailbox and ‘iook out the communication from his draft board, his hands trembled a Stile. Peering through his metal- rimmed glasses, he read that he tkSlS classified 1-A. He knew what that meant. After ien days’ time, he was subject for induction into the United States Army. Be stood there on the front steps of his house, a small man engulfed :»y a tremendous event that toppled ■pver his world and sent it bowling off into space like a cannon ball. Se thought: Not he, who had been married for twenty years. Not he, a former .careful accountant who was now the conservative proprietor of a modest general repair shop located in the alley back of his house. Not he, -with his overly active and morbid Imagination. Not he, who was no man of action, but was afraid to death of guns or violence of any sort. Not he, with his stored-up mem- ■oxy of how, as a boy with his .22 I Peering through his metal rimmed glasses he read he was classified 1A. iifle, he had shot a squirrel. The liny animal fell from the high branch where he aimed at it, land­ ing with a thud on the hard ground. When he held the warm, fuzzy body in his hand, he was sick at heart at what he had done. In later life, when he stepped on an ant, or squashed a spider, or even swatted a fly, Mr. Winkle felt squeamish at taking life. Upon being called by his draft hoard last week for physical exami­ nation, Mr. Winkle had thought that ihe strange doctor appreciated his d^pepsia, his nearsightedness, his caved-in chest, his good beginning tin a paunch (even though otherwise he was skinny enough to be under­ weight), his jumped-up pulse at the slightest exertion, and his general make-up of no great muscularity. Never before had Mr. Winkle k n o w n himself to be such a physi­ cal wreck. The doctor pursed his lips at the visual evidences of this close ap­ proach to the grave. He frowned in such a manner as to give Mr. ^Winkle reason for counting on his not being recommended. And though the doctor and the members of the draft board, working their mysteri­ ous ways, had not committed them­ selves on the result, it still hadn’t seemed real to Mr. Winkle that he would be seriously considered as a soldier. The notice couldn’t mean him. He looked at it again, to see if, possi­ bly, there had been some mistake. But he saw his name typed out boldly: Wilbert George Winkle. The thought of going in and tell­ ing Mrs. Winkle about it swept over him. The prospect of this was one of both panic and intense interest Certainly it would take a lot of the strong wind out of her sails. Mrs. Winkle, during recent years, had developed into a positive indi­ vidual who was prone to run her husband the way a locomotive en­ gineer kept his hand on the throt­ tle. Mr. Winkle never liked to put this mto the actual term of hen- pecking, but nevertheless that was the true state of affairs. Now he wondered how Amy would take it. There was little she could do about it. She wuuldn’t be able to argue with this, nor impose her will in any way upon it. He felt a IitUe sorry for her, for he knew that deep down, in spite of her sharp words and orders, she loved him and he loved her. Beyond his specula­ tion on how she would receive the news, he had a reluctance about telling her. Yet he didn’t see what else he could do. With a sigh, he went into the house. . r Mrs. Winkle was already behind her half of the newspaper in the breakfast nook, which was all the dining room their small house pos­ sessed. Mr. Winkle, in his mind, could look right through 1 the paper and see her, a well-filled-out lady of exactly his own age. To a person seeing her for the first time, she appeared dainty in spite of her plumpness, quite feminine, and of an eminently good nature. It was a shock, upon second glance, to notice the way her lips pressed themselves together' and the per­ petual frown that creased the other­ wise smooth pink skin between her blue eyes. Amy paid no attention as. Mr. Winkle carefully stepped over Pe­ nelope, the third member of the family. Their sad-eyed spaniel was set­ tled on the floor with her black muz­ zle resting on her paws. At eight, Penelope in her dog world was ap­ proximately Mr. Winkle's compara­ tive age in the human world. She was as amiable and mild as Mr. Winkle himself. Never having been allowed a husband, she had a rather droopy disposition. Now, in her mid­ dle age, she had given up hope and no longer pretended to any interest at the sight of a male, but simply sniffed loftily or ignored the meet­ ing altogether. . Penelope, Mr. Winkle thought, was no more prepared for the large, adventurous and dangerous things of life, such as war, than he. He sat heavily in his place in the. breakfast nook. Prom behind her paper, Mrs. Winkle demanded, “Anything for me?” “No-o,” answered'Mr. Winkle. At his drawing out of the word, Mrs. Winkle' put hef'paper aside and looked at her husband. She didn’t see what he had received, for he held it below the table. But from the look of Mr. Winkle and the tone of his voice, she knew at once. Mrs. Winkle was the first to speak again. Her frown deepened and her lips were tight when she stated dis­ approvingly, ‘.‘Wilbert, your-notice has come.” Silently, Mr. Winkle handed over the notice to her. Mrs. Winkle took it in at a single glance. Her face went white. Her frown disappeared and her mouth softened. She looked.bewildered, as if props had been knocked out from under her and she had no solid ground to stand on. She said breath­ lessly, as if caught off guard, “You’re going to war.” Mr. Winkle cleared his throat so as to be sure he could -control his own voice, trying it out this way without first chancing how it might sound.. “It means,” he explained, “I’m just being passed on to the Army doctors.” “You’re going to war,” Mrs. Win­ kle repeated in a whisper. Now she looked actually frightened, amazed, and hurt.-. It had been years since Mr. Win­ kle had seen such expressions on his wife’s face. They affected him deep­ ly. He began, “Now, Afny—” “You’ll be killed!" Mrs. Winkle wailed. At this excitement, and perhaps at the new, strange tone in Mrs. Winkle’s voice, Penelope began to howl. • Mr. Winkle«had counted on no such behavior on the part of his wife. He had become so accustomed to her shrewish' ways that he ha'dn’t pictured them being punctured so abruptly. He realized what a blow it was to her. She was threatened with not having him around to order about. To have him removed from her and sent off to war destroyed her defenses and left her bewildered and alone. It revealed the basic af­ fection she had for him. Mr. Winkle reflected that it was taking the greatest war in history to accom­ plish this. From the look on her. lace, Mr. Winkle almost expected Amy to be­ gin weeping. But she didn’t She just sat there staring at him, her eyes bright end wide and dry, and he sat staring at h er.. They re­ garded each other awesomely while Penelope continued to howl. Penelope was interrupted by the shrill ringing of the telephone. Mr. Winkle made a movement to go into the living room to answer it, but Mrs. Winkle, with a rather wild look on her face, started before he did. She appeared, to want to do some­ thing definite. Sitting in the breakfast nook, Mr. Winkle heard her voice. “Why, yes . . . I suppose so,” she faltered. “Just a minute.” Any hesitancy didn't: sound like Amy at all. Rather, it souftded like the Amy of years - ago, when Mr. Winkle married her. I Her voice came again, calling In to him, “It’s the newspaper—they want to come out and interview you.” Alarmed at this, and at Amy ask­ ing his advice about something in­ stead of deciding it herself, Mr. Winkle asked, “Me? Now? Here?” Mrs. Winkle gave an affirmative answer to each of these questions, her words sounding like strangled chirps.- Mr. Winkle thought, desperately. Suddenly, he wanted to lash out at something. “Certainly not,” he said. “I can’t wait around here. I’ve got to get to the shop. And I don’t— tell them I don’t want to be inter­ viewed.” Mrs. Winkle passed on his views over the telephone. They didn’t seem to make much impression, for Mrs. Winkle, after listening to what was said in reply, kept agreeing doubtfully, “Yes . . . yes, but—oh, I can see that’s probably right.” She hung up and came back. She appeared to be slightly dazed. “They said,” she told Mr. Winkle, “that you’re already something of a celebrity—from being the first mar­ ried man in the older men’s classifi­ cation to be drafted—and that it’s your patriotic duty to set a good example. They’re coming out here totake pictures of—of us both.” “I won’t do it,” he said. “And you shouldn’t—” "But, Wilbert,” Mrs. Winkle pro­ tested, “it won’t look right if we don’t.” . “I don’t care how it looks. Where’s my hat?” He was emboldened to be peremptory. “Where’s my lunch box?” ' He saw them both where they were kept ready for his departure to business. He snatched them up almost savagely, and clamped the hat on his head. He hadn’t felt so aroused for many years. He didn’t quite know what to make of the way It wasn’t until he had gone some way that it occurred to him he bad forgotten to kiss his wife goodby. he felt, for there was fear mixed in him, too,' along with his unaccus* tomed anger. Mainly, there was the sense of being unnerved by an unsure Amy. , He turned, and marched to the front door. Mrs. Winkle followed him. “Wilbert,” she said weakly, “you have to, and you know it.” By the time he reached the stepa outside, Mr. Winkle had somewhat calmed. - His small storm was near­ ly over. He blinked. “I suppose,” he admitted, “I’ll have to do a lot of things I don’t feel like doing.” Abruptly, he strode away, down the walk, and then along the street It wasn’t until he had gone some way that it occurred to him he had forgotten to kiss his wife goodby. It was the first time he had neglect ed this ritual in their whole mar* tied life. Ordinarily, he would have been called back and given instruc­ tions. But there was no sound from Amy. Guiltily, he glanced once behind, to see her still standing on the steps, her hand at her throat, watching him depart Penelope was at her feet, staring after him mournfully. It may seem curious that, though Mr. Winkle’s place of business was located right in back of his house, he didn’t go out through the real door and across the fifty, feet of yard to reach his shop. To the Winkles this wasn’t strange at all. There was . ute a good rea­ son for it. It originated from Mr. Winkle’s career as a public accountant hav­ ing disappeared during Uie depres­ sion. Secretly, he was just as glad, for he had never cared much for dealing In long rows of someone else’s figures. Hegreatlypreferred tinkering with mechanical things, for which he had a decided flair and a delicate touch.

Lesson for January 21 . Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by InternatSonaI Councfl of Reugloua Education; used by permission. STANDARDS OF THE KINGDOM LESSON TEXT—Matthew 5:3-10. 43*48. GOLDEN. TEXT—Blessed are they whicb are persecuted for. righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.—Matthew 5:10. A kingdom must have laws, and here we have the laws for Christ’s kingdom—the kingdom of heaven— which He shall one day establish on this earth. In the Church we have the joy of living as loyal subjects of Christ, and hence' these standards are for our counsel and guidance. The verses of this greatest of all discourses are addressed to those who have actually taken Christ as King of their lives. These beati­ tudes are not a substitute for the gospel. They are not laws that the unbeliever can keep and thus be saved, for this would be uterly im­ possible. Only he who knows and has called upon the power and grace of God in Christ can qualify to walk as a citizen of Christ’s kingdom. We note two things in this won­ derful and instructive passage from God's Word: I. The Character of the Follower of Christ (w . 3-10). The eight characteristics of the Christian here presented are worthy of extended individual attention, but we can offer only brief suggestions. “Blessed are the poor in spirit” speaks of humility as a commend­ able quality. How contradictory the present-day philosophy, which calls for self-assertion and self-reliance. But Jesus was not mistaken. The way into the .kingdom of heaven S not that of assertive self-sufficiency. “Blessed are they that mourn.” . The world does not believe that statement. It shuns the house of mourning. It tries without avail to philosophize away the fact of sor­ row. The Christian, on the other hand, feels with his fellow man and thus receives a blessing. One can really learn from sorrow. I walked a mile with Pleasure; She chattered all the way. But left me none the wiser For all she bad to say. I walked a mile wtth Sorrow,And ne’er a word said she: But. oh, the things I le’arned from her When Sorrow walked with me. “Blessed are the meek.” Poverty of spirit comes when a man rightly sees himself, and has a sympathetic touch with sorrow. Then he “in­ herits the earth,” because he tru­ ly comes to enjoy it as a place of service and Christian growth, and not because he has a deed to a sin­ gle foot of its soil. “It is the hunger and thirst for righteousness (v. 6 ), and not the possession of if, that is blessed” (Plummer). Self - satisfied people know nothing of the glory of having their hunger and thirst satisfied by God. We have here also the Christian’s spirit of mercy which invites divine mercy; a purity of heart, cleanness of mind,, and sincerity of purpose, which enable a man really to see God even in this impure world; that Christlike spirit which makes him a peacemaker in a fighting world— yes, that spirit which makes him like the Master in sweetly bearing unjustified persecution. These in­ deed are the marks of the man who follows Christ as King. n. The Conduct of the Follower of Christ (w . 43-48). There can possibly be no more se­ vere test of a man’s Christian char­ acter than the manner in which he treats his enemies. Many who pass the other tests meet failure (at least in part) at this point. It is no easy thing to love your enemies, but it is the standard .of Christ, and He will enable us to live up to it. Now is a good time to put it into practice, not only per­ sonally, but nationally. There can be no doubt that love for the brethren will be a more inti­ mate and satisfying experience be­ cause they return our affection (v. 46). Anyone can do that and enjoy it. Enemies often return hatred for our love—they persecute us (v. 44). But we are still to love them. That love must move us to treat them kindly and to pray for them. Someone says, “It can’t be done.” Yes, it can by the grace of God in Christ, and it is being done. We need to exercise care lest we fall into-the easy habit of speaking with derision or scorn of the un­ godly — that wicked, dissipated neighbor who hangs around taverns and other questionable places. Let us never condone their sin—that we should hate—but may God help us to love them and lead them to Christ. This lesson is indicated as being a temperance lesson. The applica­ tion can only be made indirectly, but it may have value. The use of alcohol is so destructive of every­ thing that is good, that it is quite' obvious it is not in accord with these standards of the kingdom of heaven. It is time some church peo­ ple decided whether they wsint to be­ long to the world or belong to Christ. If the latter is their pur- pose, we believe the only consistent position to take is that of abstirence bom alcoholic liquors.

A jeep pulled up, and a soldier clambered out. “Hey, son,” a cop called after him, “You’d better drop a nickel.” The soldier looked at the meter, and shaking his head, retorted: “It’s just as much yours as mine, you drop the nickel.” Patteni Ho,- VSO comes In sizes 2.

A quotation says: “ W ithout salary, food, extra clothing, or purse, 10,000 Mohammedian stud ents in the University vof Cairo, Egypt, are preparing to go out with the sole purpose of tearing down the Cross and erecting the Crescent in its place. They will do this for a false and dead proph et, Clergy and laity of America, awake! W hat faith and sincerity are you showing In the Christ, the Son of the true God, who is alive for evermore?” White multitudes of professed Christians in America are indiffer­ ent, careless, sleepy, and living far beneath their privileges In the Gos­ pel of our Lord JJsus Christ; and while thousands of our churches are spiritually dead, many of which are closing tbeir doors and ceasing to function any longer; aud' while millions of boys and girls, young people, fathers and mothers never attend Sunday school nor darken a church door; and while we have billions of dollars to finance this barrible war, killing and slaving humanity, and billions to spend for beer, liquor, tobacco, for the mpv- ies, and for needless luxuries and hurtful indulgences, failing to Iitt up the Cross of Christ and His bau- ner of truth, salvation and holiness, there are ten thousand Mohamme dan students, poor and needy, and no doubt suffering for tbe actuaf necessities of life, so much interest­ ed and enthused over their false religion, and a dead, false prophet, that they go forth to denounce, re ject and tear down the Cross of Christ, which is In opposition to their religion, until we should be ashamed of ourselves, and feel wre­ tched as a nation, with the Gospel and Cross of Christ, which is the only way of salvation, yet so indif­ ferent. Map God have mercy np on us. Is it not bigh time for us to a. wake and get busy for God? We often wonder why it is that people are ro zealaus over'a false religion, or a false doctrine, and yet people with tbe real truth, the true relig­ ion ot Jesus Christ, and the doc trine that is pnre, yet so indiffer­ ently toward getting it across to their fellowmen. They sleep and slumbet, fail to watch and pray, and give only a pittance toward the spread of the Gospel in its purity apd power and the salvation of pre­ cious souls. We wonder why it is, do you? May God stir our hearts to great activity for His cause and kingdom, Multitudes are perish­ ing without Christ. Do you not care?—FaKe religions are spread ing over the earth, and do you not care? 4 * To Wives and Parents of Soldiers If you are sending The Re­ cord Io your husband or son who is in the armed forces, please see that his subscrip­ tion is paid in advance.

Sorry 0 hear Flat-Top is dead. Also' your Aunt Lobelia No, I have not been out with any other girl Don’t von know I promised to be true to you, also there are no women here anyway. I see by the ads in the magasine that tbe public is being very brave and patient about tbe shortage on bobbie pins, also girdles and var* ious lipstick shades. I didn’t know oou was suffering so. Also Hortense I want to warn you about them ads where the sol­ diers are saving poetrv to themsel ves while shooting Japanese. I will not tell you what we do say Hortense, as it is not for your ears, but it is not what those ads say, so please take them with a dose of salts. For instance there is several where a fellow hopes they are keep, ing everything the same at home until he comes back, iniludiug the corner store, the Brooklyn Dod- gers and his room. It is alright for the guy iu the ad, a very nice room, he is probably am offlser, but Al Gugliemo says he hopes be does not have to go back to tbe same room as be has been spoiled by his -foxhole which is larger also cleaner also he has it all to btmself. As to our corner store and the Dodgers, you will agree Hortense that any change is an improvement, espec IaIIy the saudwishes and pitching respectively. Seriously Hortense we also dp not want to go back to a place where I am out of a job and not everybody can vote and other peo­ ple get pushed around I certainly hope yon can fix our country up before I get back, and you might start with your hairdo in the last snapshot. I expect I will be promoted as up is the only way I can go. Love to ail, also your kid broth­ er. JOE Roosevelt and Economy Mr, Editor: It is with mingled surprise and disgust that I read Mr. Roosevelt has decided to save $25 OOO on his fourth term inaugural cere- monies. To mpst of us this an­ nouncement falls n deaf ears, for after 12 years of spending and four years of spending and four more In prospect, we are no longer able to appreciate any sum below the mil lion or billion mark. Could it be that F. D. R. has had a change of heart? I doubt it It is hard to give him credit for his hint of economy here for we know that tomorrow be will be throwing a few millions this way and that, as care­ lessly to save our $25,000. This is just another example of Mr. Roose­ velt’s shallowness and his ability for evading the real issue. He got ob­ vious enjoyment out 0 f Senator Byrd’s inaugural committee plan to save money interested in thrift than Mr. Roosevelt ever was. The senator is not quibbling over $25,00 inaugural exponense. He is concerned with other mill’ons and billions which Mr. Roosevelt • has completely forgotten. Our country may survive in spite of Mr. Roosevelt It will never sur­ vive because of him.—John F. Roark in Union Republican. An X mark after your name means you owe us.

GRANT, Attorney Baprism "A nd Jesus, when he was bap tized went up straightway out of the water, and 1o, the heavens were opened unto him and he saw tbe spirit of God descending like a deve and lighting upon him; and to, a voice from heaven saying, this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matt. 3:16-17. It is forever settled In my mind that Jesus wasimmersed, and I can­ not fotlow my Lord in any other mode of baptism. For there is but 'One Lord, one faitb, one bap­ tism ,” Christ has led the way so let’s follow Him. “ Therefore we are bnrled with Him by baptism.” Rom. 6 :4. How could we be bnr ied without going under all over? Baptism alone will not save any. one. It takes repentance in God. Baptism by emersion is commemo­ rating the death, burial and rasur- rection, of mv blessed Saviour Jesus Christ, and therefore showing to the world that we aee dead to the sins of the world and a new creat­ ure in the Lord, and of coursa we should qnit tbe sioning business once and for all time. This sounds a little like holiness, doesn’t it? Well the Bible doesn’t teach any­ thing else, for Jesns said, “ W ith­ out holiness no man shall see tbe Lord ” Don’t understand me to say that I am perfect in the flesh God for­ bid tbat I shontd ever say that. After we have done all we can do then says the good book, “ We are unprofitable servants.” B utthanks be unto God we can have a perfect heart and desire to do good, and we can live close to God. Christ taught his disciples to prav this prayer daily, “ Forgive - my debts as I forgive my debtors.” W hy snonid we pray tbat prayer if this old flesh could live without sin at all? There arc two of each individual, tbe outward man which is the flesh, and tbe inward man which is tbe soul of man tbat never dies. God only saves the soul which is eternal This old flesh was not born to be saved and live forever; it must decay and go back to mother dnst, If this old body conld be perfect or was perfect, it would be as tbe soul, never die. Back to my subject: “ Repent, believe and be baptized and ye shall be saved.” The repentence and faith comes first, I notice. It did not say “ Be baptized and join the chnrch and ye shall be saved. So we’d better put tbe repentence first and always Show me a fellow that says “ I don’t have to repent any more,” and I’ll show you a fellow that needs salvation in his soul. It should be the desire of every Chris­ tian and is T believe, to get a little closer to tbe Lord, and to live just a little better today than we did yesterday. Yours for a closer walk with God. A.

C.—American Red Cross operations at home and abroad will reach tbeir wartime peak in 1945, Mr. Basil O’Connor, Chairman of the American Red Cross, said today in announcing that the miuimnm goal for the Red Cross W ar Fund to be raised in March, 1945, bad been fixed at $180 ,000 ,000 . Tbe Central Committee set the goal following careful review of bndget estimates for American Red Cross work in tbe United States and overseas for the year beginning March 1, 1945, Mr O’Connorsaid. He added that Colby M. Chester, chairman of tbe executive commit­ tee of General Foods Corporation will be chairman of the 'campaign. “ Our new budgets,” Mr. O Con­ nor said, “ represent an apprecia­ ble increase in the services we will lender in Europe, in the Pacific and at home, but we have been able to keep the total 1945 goal slightly under the one for 1944 be* cause of oversubscription of our earlier campaigns and certain eco­ nomics in this year’s operations. “ After personally inspecting onr operations in England and on tbe Continet. and after conferring with Generals Eisenbour. Bradley, Pat­ ton and Clark, I foresee an increase rather than a decrease in tbe need for American Red Cross services on the Continent from now and for some time after tbe European fight lug is over. Likewise, it is obvi­ ous tbe American Red Cross must expand its Pacific and Far Eastern operations during tbe coming year. “It is our intention that Red Cross stay with our troops until all of them are returned borne and con­ tinue to serve them through their adjestment back to civilian life. For this reason we must ask the American public to consider our goal of $180 ,000,000 as an absolute minimum.” A W ar Fund planning confer­ ence was held In Statesville Janu­ ary 20th. J. H. Thompson, 1945 W ar Fund Chairman and Superin­ tendent of Schools C. C. Erwin and others from Davie, attended the meeting, which was conducted by Francis P.

Dishonest News Hand­ ling Tbe American pubiic is mucl. per­ turbed over the latest development on the Western front where it has been revealed that the rapid ad­ vance in the Aachen area was halted due to the shortage of enforced, ra­ tioning of heavy ammunition. Thedistressing part of this situa­ tion is that just before the election the public was assured by President Roosevelt that everything w a s hunkydorv in the way of supplies go­ ing to the military zones. And the purpose of such a statement was to convince the voters that the Roose­ velt administration was handling the war effort properly and that any change in the management might re­ sult in hurting the prosecution of the war. Since the shortage was in exist­ ence at the time the statement was made by President Roosevelt, the public has an apologv coming from those who wilfully and dishonestly corrupted the news for political ad­ vantage.—Exchange.

LOYALTY TO THE KINGDOM LESSON TE X T -M atthew 6:33; 7:12. 16-29. GOLDEN TEXT—Seek ye first the King­ dom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.— M atthew 6:33. In the kingdom of Christ there must be unquestioned loyalty. If then He is the King of our lives, we as Christian men and women will want to live in accordance with His blessed will. Loyalty to Christ leads to the best kind of living. It surpasses any ex­ perience of loyalty to a cause or a human personality. Instead of hin­ dering or limiting our development, it opens wide the grand vistas of a life altogether worth-while. It is a life: I. Well Ordered (6:33). Much of the distress in which men and women find themselves is caused by the fact that their lives are not well ordered. They live in a constant flurry of uncertainty, in­ decision and disorder. They have no proper center for their lives, and consequently they are lopsided and lacking in real usefulness. See how delightfully right is the experience and activity of a follow­ er of Christ. He is the center. The interests of His kingdom are the first in thought. His righteousness is the rule of life. Other things? Well, all that is necessary, God adds day by day. When the center of life is right, everything else is right—when that is wrong, all is wrong. Is your life centered in Christ? II. Kind (7:12). Spiritual principles apply to daily living, to our attitude toward our fellow men. Here we have the so- called Golden Rule. It is not the way of salvation; it is a summary of the teaching of the law and proph­ ets. But it does provide us with a splendid principle of daily conduct. Our active concern each day and In every touch with others is to be, “How would I like them to deal with me? Let me do thus to them.” That is a higher standard than you think until you really try it. Only Christ can enable you to do it. III. Fruitful (7:16-20). Two fruit trees or vines may look almost alike until the fruit appears, and then we learn the true char­ acter of each—whether good or bad. Every life brings forth some kind of fruit, and in its outward manifes­ tation the life speaks of the inward condition of the life. Unclean and profane speech, hatred, dishonesty and trickery—these come out of an evil heart. Righteousness, pure and kindly speech, thoughtful actions, honest and straightforward dealings —these speak* of the good heart. The one whose life is centered in Christ (see above) is a vine after God’s own planting. His roots strike deep down into the grace and mercy of God, and his fruit is the Christ- like grace of Christian character (see Gal. 5:22, 23). IV. Gennine (7:21-23). Lip service will not do (v. 21). Even an imitation of the real serv­ ice of God’s people, but rendered without the backing of a life of faith, will result only in disappointment and our Lord’s own disavowal (w . 22, 23). The opposite of that is equally true. The real child of God works for Christ; he speaks of his Lord, and calls on His name. But in and through it all there is the evi­ dent ring of sincerity and genuine­ ness which marks it as the real thing. One does not hear much mention these days of hypocrites in the church. Perhaps we are too polite to speak of them, or it may be that we think them too obvious to need pointing out. But they are there, going through the motions of a Christian life, talking the language, and imitating the works, but com-’ pletely dead spiritually. V. WeU Grounded (7:24-29). The figure of speech changes. In­ stead of being likened to fruit trees, men’s lives are said to be like houses, with their various kinds of foundations and superstructures. The figure is an interesting and instructive one. There is only one foundation upon which one can build a Christian life. “Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (I Cor. 3:11). Therein lies the folly of the mod­ ernist or liberal. He has denied and rejected the only foundation—and yet tries to build a house of Chris­ tian character. When the real prob­ lems of life strike, he goes down jn ruin. On the other hand, let no Christian who has laid a foundation on the rock fail to go on and build upon it. Thus grounded, his house of faith will stand though the wind and rain and floods of life seek to tear it down. Of that kind of house we read that “it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock” (y. 25). This lesson will afford many pro­ fessed Christians a chance to test their lives and their loyalties by God’s standards.

COMMANDERS BLAMED FOR SETBACK Those in the know inside the Pen­ tagon building say that if there is ever a thorough army probe it will show that U. S. intelligence fell down even more badly than former Chief of Staff Gen. Peyton March indicated regarding advance prepa­ rations for the German break­ through. Even American news dis­ patches told of German activity be­ hind the lines and lights burning at night. Military experts also say, how­ ever, that other factors contributed to the serious setback, one of them being failure to have experienced colonels and lieutenant-colonels as Beld commanders. They trace this back to a ruling by the late Gen­ eral McNair, commander of the ground forces, that no colonel over 48 could serve in combat overseas. This meant that many of the regu­ lar army, national guard and re­ serve officers who had been under Bre in the last war, trained their men in the United States, went with them to the port of embarkation, then were left behind at desk jobs in the U.S.A. Youngsters, who were only lieutenants or captains in 1941, took their places. These youngsters had all the courage and vigor in the world, but they lacked one thing so all-important in battle—experience under fire. 106TH DIVISION CAVED FIRST Military experts point out that the division reported to have caved in first when the Germans counter-at­ tacked was the 106th. It had just gone into the line and not one hostile shot had ever been fired over its head. This division gave way like 6traws before a tornado. If a comittee of congress should ever take the trouble to look up the officers of the 106th division it will find that just be­ fore it sailed all its older field officers were removed, and younger, but very green officers, put in their places. Had the 106th division held for only a few hours it would have made all the difference in the world to the rest of the army and to the length of the war. Military experts say somewhat the same thing happened at Kasserine pass and Salerno. At Kasserine pass, green field commanders ig­ nored the first rudiments of defense, namely that a halted regiment should dig in and prepare field forti­ fications in enemy territory. Maj. Gen. Lloyd Fredendall was made the goat at Kasserine pass and transferred back to the U.S.A., just as Maj. Gen. Ernest Dawley was made the goat at Salerno. How­ ever, high-up officers, who have studied these battles, say the real fault was not theirs, but that all colonels of the 34th division which lost so heavily at Kasserine were replaced by green field commanders just before the division saw action. To get the entire picture, it is neces- I sary to recall that after Pearl Har- "bor the army collected the majors, lieutenant - colonels and colonels from the regular army, national ! guard and reserves who had battle training in World War I, calling many from civil life, and put them In charge of troop training. As a re­ sult the army had a sizable group of experienced field officers not easily stampeded. McNair Copies British. Then in June 1942, General Mc­ Nair, commanding the ground forces and an A-I general in most respects, suddenly decided to copy the British. He found that British colonels were around 45 years of age, so gave verbal orders that no American colonel over 48 could serve with combat troops. Army experts say that undoubted­ ly, some colonels and lieutenant- colonels needed to be weeded out for physical or other reasons. The army has been too lax with its physically unfit during soft and easy years of peace. However, they believe that General McNair swung far too far in the other direction. Fortunately a lot of the troops landing in Normandy were sea­ soned under fire in Italy. Gen. Mark Clark has done a great job there of baptising troops. Others, such as General Patch’s Seventh army were seasoned at Guadalcanal, but obviously there were not enough sea­ soned troops to man the long ' front extending all the way from Holland to the Alps, and the Nazis kept probing one spot after another until they found the softest part of the front. Perhaps their intelligence even knew that green commanders had just come into the line. * * * CAPITAL CHAFF C One of the last acts of the 78th senate was to cancel from the fed-; eral government’s list of assets, money borrowed by four southern cities in 1861, just before the Civil war.

He is very despondent about It. He had thought th at the doctor who examined him would not overlook his dyspepsia, his near-sightedness and his caved-In chest. He believes there m ust be some m istake. Anyway, he breaks the bad news to his wife, Amy, who has always dom ineered him . I t ts quite a blow to her, too, for she is threatened with not having W ilbert around to order about. Winkle leaves the house to get busy with the day’s work, but forgets to kiss his wife goodby. CHAPTER n Mrs. Winkle, upon learning that her husbqpd planned to open a gen­ eral repair shop practically in their living room, decried it bitterly. She felt that being the wife of what she termed a handy man lowered her social standing. She declared she would have nothing whatsoever to do with .the enterprise and would rather starve than to so much as glance at it. She took this decided slnnd despite the fact that she had a modest income from a small estate left by her parents and that on this account .she and Mr. Winkle could have managed, though their stand­ ard of living would have been sharp­ ly curtailed. At that time Mr. Winkle still wore one leg of the trousers in his house, so he proceeded on the basis that it was more respectable for him to provide, and more reasonable to eat well, than to have a social stand­ ing. He took his wife at her word He saw himself dying painfully, gasping for water. and built his shop across the rear of their property without an en­ trance or even a window on the house side. Mrs. Winkle had never visited him, even when she found it more comfortable not to starve. And from then on she developed into what he preferred to think of her instead of by any other word; a termagant. Each m orning M r. W inkle marched out the front door quite as if he were going downtown to business. He walked up the block, around the corner, and then to the alley. Along this he went to his shop, where he worked until dinner time, and then retraced his steps. The alley in which he had his shop was not a depressing thorough­ fare, but quite an attractive one. It was a dirt lane lined with trees and a number of private garages. Mr. Winkle’s shop was no eyesore, but a substantial frame building painted a cheery blue, with wide double doors to permit the entrance of automobiles needing his attention, and tall windows. Above the doors was a sign announcing: THE FIXIT SHOP We Repair Anything Mr. Winkle had worried a little about the wording of this. Making his promise in the plural was more impressive, as if there existed a large staff of workers. The fact that there was no one except him­ self was perhaps deceptive. But he felt all right about it when he con­ sidered that he and the shop itself could be counted as two. He lived up to the boast on his sign. He was adept at finding out what the trouble was with any me­ chanical gadget and, what is more, at putting it right. People from all over his section of town, and many from farther away, br&ught him their difficulties or called him in. He accepted—with one exception—any work that came along. The only thing with which he would have nothing to do was fire­ arms. This morning, as Mr. Winkle walked a little over a block along his circuitous route to get the fifty feet away from where he started, he was a thoughtful man. He opened his shop methodically, throwing wide the doors and letting in the sun. Usually, every morning he looked at his place of work with pride while he changed his clothes, peeling all the way down before donning his working outfit. He ad­ mired his own neatness, the spick- W.N.U. and-span concrete floor,-the shining lathes and other power tools; • the clean benches with every screw­ driver in its proper place, and the work 'in hand left and waiting in good order from the day before. Mr. Wnkle and the other men of his age had assured each other that they would never be used as sol­ diers. They were of that lost gen­ eration between rounds of the world war, too young for the first session, and too old for the second. Even after the draft 'registration for them, they had'said the same things. "We couldn’t stand the life,” j ProP°sed- “Marching all night and crawling on your stomach in a ditch is for the young fellows.” Yet Mr. Winkle had wondered. If there wasn’t some plan for using them, why were they registered? - ■ There followed a period of listen- ing to every scrap of further infor­ mation to be found in the papers, over the radio and in the magazines. Most of this was conflicting, with no one able to make up his mind. Finally a few bold facts became plain, at least in relation to Mr. Winkle's draft board in the town of Springville. 'It began to call older men. Right now it" had- reached those married without children, but with wives who had independent in­ comes of their own.- Mr. Winkle met the first require­ ment. Mrsi Winkle'lived up to the second regulation. Her small in­ come, together with the fifty dollars a month allotment paid to the wives of soldiers, would be enough for her to support herself. Sitting there in his shop, Mr. Win­ kle thought of his fighting back­ ground. It had not been much. Up until the time he. was ten, he was known in his neighborhood for hav­ ing won several .fights., There was a certain group of' boys he could bully and bluff, or lick, if it came right down to it. Then that prowess had come to a quick end. :;His teeth,- growing in crookedly, were being straightened by. that ignorqinious process of hav­ ing wire bands put around them to draw them into place. Returning hoine from school one day with two other boys, a discussion rose among them as to whether or not he could lick one of them. During the experiment of proving he could not, the inside of his mouth was cut to ribbons by the copper bands—the main contributing cause of his humiliating and painful de- fpat. From then on Mr. Winkle, boy and man, ceased to be a warrior. That was the extent of Mr. Win­ kle’s fighting history. Now, belated­ ly;. at forty-four—the moment made him think of his age as being only six. years until he was fifty—it seemed as if it were to have a future. Why, he thought, this is impossi­ ble. It’s really incredible. . M t. Winkle, wasn’t in the least sure about how he- would fight. It would be different if he were young­ er, or happened to be;a great big strapping sort of fellow. He wanted to uphold his country. He questioned -not at all his coun- try'trailin g upon him to do it. But he felt doubtful of what kind of soldier he would make. He boped there was -no question about this matter in the mind of any­ one wlio detected in him signs of not looking forward to going to war. Mr. Winkle roused himself and be­ gan -to work on a-bicyclq,, • The. rep­ resentative froin-the newspaper ar­ rived-in the middle of the morning. He was a tall, brash-looking young man with a wild mop of hair who introduced himself, “I’m Onward, the reportographer.” “The what?” asked Mr.'Winkle, staring at him with assurance' that he was not going to like Mr. On­ ward any more than he cared for being interviewed. Mr. Onward set down the camera he carried and explained with broad patience, “Reportographer. It’s a contraction of reporter and photog­ rapher. Technically, I’m only the last part. But with so many re­ porters gone off to war, I got to be both. I made up the name myself. “Listen," He said as he opened his camera, “I got one divorced wife, two kids. I got one married wife, three kids. I haven’t taken a vaca­ tion the last two years because I couldn’t stand being home all day. I tried to enlist to get away from it. They wouldn't have me. I guess they figured if I-.-got killed they’d have too much to support.” The reasons why men went to war, Mr. Winkle thought, were varied. Mr. Onward regarded Mr. Winkle with some amusement. He seemed to think it a little funny that he was being drafted. When Mr. Win­ kle protested that his activity was somewhat-premature, and .that he might not be accepted by the Army, Mr. Onward grinned and began or­ dering him to stand at different places about the shop. He proceed­ ed to take a series of flashlight pic­ tures, meanwhile asking questions in an indifferent, offhand manner. “How do you feel about being a soldier?” Mr. Winkle blinked as a flash went off in his -face. “Why,” he stam­ mered, “I guess I feel all right.” “Do you regard it as a privilege, to be the first of your classification to be called on to defend the four freedoms?” “Privilege?” Mr. Winkle repeated. The flashlight had blinded him mo- RELEASE iiientarily and made him slightly dizzy. He could think only that he must be agreeable. “I expect I must.” “Listen,” th e reportographer urged, “how about a smile on this one?” . Mr. Winkle spread his lips and ex­ posed his teeth. He looked straight at the camera, holding his head a little high as previously instructed so that his glasses wouldn’t reflect the light. “Do you think any sacrifice is worth making to defend your coun­ try?” Another flash went off. Mr. Winkle blinked and coughed unhappily. “Of course,” he said. “Yes. Certainly.” Mt. Onward gazed at him and then shrugged his shoulders, as if telling himself that nothing more could be done with this quizzical subject. Quite suddenly he went away. Mr. Winkle worked on a bicycle, then on the motor of a washing ma­ chine. He ate his lunch, listened to the radio, and attacked the motor again. Afl the while he felt queasy about the visit of Mr. Onward, the reportographer, but at the same time wondered what he had concoct­ed. He learned sooner than he expect­ ed. Early in the afternoon he heard the newsboy calling his wares from afar and then down at the end of the alley. Evidently the paper was cashing in on the hot news in Mt. Winkle’s vicinity. The boy appeared in the entrance of the shop, announcing excitedly, “Your picture’s in the paper, Mr. Winkle! Right on the front page!” Mr. Winkle could not overcome his resolve to wait until he went home to see in the delivered paper there just what the Evening Standard had to say about him. And after all, it wasn’t every day that you got your picture in the newspaper, especially on the front page. He purchased a copy and, after the boy left, he looked at it. It wasn’t as big as what the Russians were doing in Russia, or what the United Nations were doing around the Mediterranean, or what the U. S. Navy was doing in the South Pa­ cific, but it was the next most im­ portant thing to those large events. There was a picture of Mrs. Win­ kle standing outside their house, just as he had seen her last that morning, with Penelope at her feet. There was a picture of himself, the one where he smiled. The smile looked rather ghastly, and set and stiff, but to anyone who didn’t know him very well it might have been taken for happiness. Most of all, above this exhibit, there was a sizable black headline which said: WINKLE PROUD TO FIGHT Mr. Winkle felt not only conspicu­ ous, but misrepresented. He was glad to learn that Mrs. Winkle had “Listen,” the reportographer urged, “how abont a smile on this one?” made no comment, and in passing noted what a phenomenon this was. He was happy to see that Mr. On­ ward had kept his promise iff not mentioning his method of carrying on his work, but he was astonished to read what he had written.- “ ‘I’m proud to fight for my coun­ try,’ Wilbert Winkle, 44, of 711 Ma­ ple Avenue, first married selectee in the 36 to 45 draft age group to be called in Springville, declared today. Winkle, who operates The Fixit Shop, went on to say that he is anxious to defend the four freedoms, which he regards as the privilege of every American today. ‘This,’ he stated, ‘is worth any sacrifice, if need be, my very life.’ ” Mr. Winkle was keenly interested in learning if Amy’s change of atti­ tude had persisted from morning until night, or was simply the tem­ porary result of the first upsetting event of the day. Upon reaching home, he saw at once that its effect still had its hold on her. At least she was in some­ thing of a dither, a condition she had rarely entered ever since he had become a repair man instead of a respectable accountant.

New Deal Dog Case W ashington—The W hite House stamped the high.priority travels of EiIiott Roosevelt’s bull mastiff as a “ regrettable combination of errors’’—but indicated no one will be put in the doghouse. Stephen Early, presidential press secretary, said nobody In the execu­ tive offices had anything to do with giving the huge pet a rating high enough to get three servicemen bumped off an Army transport plane in Memphis, January n th . The President’s sacond son, an air forces colonel, said in London he had nothing to do with air trans. portation priority for the dog “ Blaze” which was sent to his biide, Actress Faye Emerson, in Hollywood. “ I should sav that somewhere down the line somehody has made a mistake,” was the comment of Secretary of W ar Stimson when he was asked about the matter at bis news conference. Maj. Gen. Harold George, com­ mander of the Army Air Transport command, said after a preliminary investigation fbat there had been “ an error of judgm ent,'t and that procedure would be changed so that there will be no more sucb mistakes. But he didn't say who made the error nor what sort it was. Representative Hoffman, Repub lican of Michigan, m e a n w h ile brought the travels of “ Blaze” to the attention of Congress, reading a letter from a serviceman com­ plaining of long service abroad and commenting; “ I wonder what he would think if he knew that three men who might have been his buddies were put off a plane because Col Roose­ velt’s dog was aboard.” Asked wnether any punitive ac tiou was beiug considered against any person who mav have put the priority rating on the mastiff’s crate Early answered in the negative. He added that certainly nothing of that sort is contemplated for Sea man Leon Leroy, who first disclos­ ed at his home in Antioch, Calif., that he and two others had had to get off the nlane to make way tor high priority freight while the dog stayed aboard. Leroy’s mother, saying that the matter “sort tf frightens us,” had expressed concern lest it affect her son’s status in the Navy. T-Sgt.

Davie Farm News February 15, 1945 is the last date on which performance reports may be filed as a basis'for making a net payment to producers on 1944 applications for payment, I. N. Smoot Chairman Davie County Tri- ple-A Committee, announced. “ Payment, of 1944 applications is to be completed during the early months of 1945, therefare, it is necessary that performance reports be filed early in order to provide op. portunitv for timely preparation and audit in the countv and State of­ fices,” he stated. Mr. Smoot pointed out that ap­ plications for payments based on performance reports filed after the closing date may be processed for payment for payment only if it is determined bv the State committee, on recommendation of the couutv committee, that the producer was preveted from filing within the spe­ cified time (d) because he was a member of the armed forces, or (2) because of prolonged illness. “ All eligible farmers who have not al­ ready filed performance reports and signed anplications for payment, are urged to do so at once,” he declared. J. N. Smoot, Chairman, Davie County Triple A Committee asks that any tobacco growers who feel that' they need an adjustment in tbeir allotment file a request either in the county offi'.e or with their community committeemen within the next few days There is no as­ surance that there will be an acre­ age avilable to make ail the ad­ justm ents requested, but every re­ quest will he given careful consid­ eration . At Long Last—Maybe! Hint that ber resignation maybe accepted is seen in the report to Congress of Miss Perkins, Secre­ tary of Labor If so, it should not read “ because of the press of pri­ vate duties or declining health.” or any of the stock face savers gener­ ally accompanying resignations. Instead, it should be “ Resigning because of futility.” Tbat has characterized the lady with the three-corned hat. She is honest, wanting to be helpful to labor’s cause, with not a blemish gn her record. Bnt she couldn't get any­ where with the job Her resigna tion has been urged for a long time but the President has the reputa tion of not hurting the feelings of his friends. Despite a slightly waspish—re­ member when sbe pointed out what a market the South was for shoe manufacturers, with most of us go­ ing around barefoot?—she is un- doubtly a nice woman. But there are millions of them in the United States That’s not sufficient re­ commendation for undertaking the duties a cabinet position. Her going when and if, will not bring tears from labor, capital, managemant or most other divisions of people. Good luck to her, and let's invite her down and show hew people are using up their coupons — Charlotte Observer.

THE EDITOR. No Atlantic Charter? What? Although President Roosevelt and other New Deal orators during the recent campaign spoke frequently of what we have been told was an At­ lantic Charter, of its inestimable va­ lue in charting the course of the United States and other Allied Na­ tions following the war. the Presid­ ent, when cornered a few days ago in a press conferenro at the White Although President Roosevelt and other New Deal orators during the recent campaign spoke frequently of what we have been told was an At­ lantic Charter, of its estimable va­ lue in charting the course of the United States and other Allied Na­ tions following the war. the Presid­ ent, when cornered a few days ago in a press conference at the White House, frankly admitted there is no such thing as an Atlantic Charter and that he and his buddy, Winston Churchill, have signed no such im­ portant document. Truly. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey was eternallv right when he demanded during the campaign for a change in administration so that will be hon esty and integrity in the White House might be believe. For months Roosevelt and others have been telling us of that so vi. tally important meeting out on the Atlantic, of what it means for the future course of the Allied Nations. We were led to believe that Churchill had come up with a document that would take its place alongside the Magna Charter, the American Con­ stitution, the Bill of Rights and other highly important documents of that nature. But with a flip of the ashes from his cigarette and a cynical slap at some reporter, the President said the Atlantic Charter was only some notes ‘ scribbled on apiece of paper ” Then why did he not go on and tell the American people what he and Cuurchill did do on the battleship out in the Atlantic? We wonder how many bottles of Scotch were consumed during the mid-ocean ses­ sion of the representatives of the two greatest nations on earth We wonder a great many other things and the starling announcement by the President causes us to do these wonderings—Union Republican.

A New Creature “Jesus answered and said unto him. Verily, verilv I say unto thee, except a man be born again he cannot see tbe kingdom of God ” Here we have the words that Jesus Christ, the blessed Son of God, spoke to Nicodemus over uineteen hundred years ago. Many people todag think being born again is not for us, but is a tbing of the past. They don’t want you to mention lhe new birth Tbe devil tells them church membership is enough —that they’ll be ail right if only their name’s on tbe church roll. But, beloved, wbat did Jesvs say to Nlcodemttsf “ Except a man be born again he cannot see the king­ dom of God.” “ Marvel not that I say unto thee, ye must be born again.” W hat does “ born again” mean? Jesus gives the simple an­ swer, “ That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. When a person gives his heart and life to God. repents of hia sins and takes lesus as hie own personal Saviour, be is a new creature, tbe evil, un godlv, sinful things he did desire and do. have gone; bis desire tor sucb is gone, the spirit of God dwells within his heart. “ There­ fore if any man be In Christ, he is a new creature: old things are pass­ ed away; behold, all things are be come new.” The drunkard is made sober, the theatre, dance hall and all the devil’s playhouse goers are cleansed, tbe desire for sucb gone; “ Behold, all things are become new.” “ Not by works of right eousness wblcb we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by tha washing of regeneration, and renewing of the IIoly Ghost.” Dear beloved, if we’d bad to have washed our way to heaven by our good deeds q^'d never, neveT get there, and may I say, too, if you’re trying to be good or do the best you can, you’ll never get there ac­ cording to tbe word. It's accord* ing to His mercv he saves us, by graoe through faith. Thank God for His unspeakable gift. "Verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be born agatn, he cannot see tbe kingdom of God ’> Jesus didn’t say except a man do good or do the best he can or join the church, he cannot see the king­ dom of God, but be said, "Y e must be born again, ” become a new creature in Christ Jesus. Being born again means being a child of the living God; having everlasting life and overcoming the world. "W hosoever believetb that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and ev­ eryone that lovetb him that begat loveth also that is begotten of him. For whosoever is born of God over- cometb tbe world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” Are you a new creature in Christ; have you bad yonr name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? You don’t have to answer me. but God Today Jesus stands longing to save your toul from hell, to make you a Dew born again creature through His cleansing blood that was shed yonder on Calvary for you. It isn’t Fod’s will that any should perish but all should come to re­ pentance. Friends, many have requested me to write more articles to Ibe good old R- cord. After praying, God led me to write this one. If you want me to write again, please don’t neglect to send me a card stating so. Yours for Him. MRS. ELBERT DUNCAN. 816 Broad St. Kannapolis, N, C.

FEEDING ITALY Chief issue in the long series of backstage arguments over feeding Italy has been President Roosevelt’s desire (I) to get the Italian people to play a greater part in the war; and (2) avoid a repetition of Greece. Already there have been rumblings of food rioting, and should Allied tanks and guns be turned against the people of Rome as in Athens, the repercussions would be tragic. Theoretically, the British have agreed with Roosevelt. When it . comes to putting the policy into ef­ fect, however, it is different. Fol­ lowing some disagreements last August and September, F.D.R. thought he had the whole matter ironed out at the Quebec conference with Prime Minister Churchill, only to find that in late October nothing had been done. Finally, on October 31, he took the unprecedented step of giving a di­ rect order as commander-in-chief to the secretary of war. He wrote: “I have had before me the shipping difficulties ip getting supplies to the civilian popula­ tion of Italy and I note that we have been building up some re­ serves for use when northern Italy collapses. “In the meantime, it seems to me that the situation is so acute, from the point of view particu­ larly of food in southern Italy, that some risks must be taken regarding supplies at the time of the collapse in northern Italy. That collapse may well not come until Germany itself col­ lapses, in which case the ship­ ping situation will be much less acute. “Under the circumstances, I have determined to assume the responsibility for asking General Wilson to increase the ration to 300 grams throughout all of Italy that our forces occupy.” Despite this categoric position by the President of the United States, Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilson, re­ ferred to above, did nothing. Last week, Secretary Stettinius empha­ sized shipping as the reason why increased feeding had not been given Italy. But he did not give the whole story. Actually, as pointed out by the President, there has been ac­ cumulating a stock pile of food for unliberated northern Italy.* * * POORLY PAID CONGRESSMEN The struggle experienced by many congressmen to make both ends meet in Washington, and also the steady retirement of A-I officials from public life because they can­ not take the financial sacrifice, has an interesting parallel in the early days of the nation. Some of the founding fathers, be­ ing honest men and without private fortunes, found it impossible to live on their government salaries and were threatened with imprisonment. For instance, the great revolution­ ary war hero, Gen. William Moul­ trie was imprisoned for debt. Also, the first associate justice of the U. S. Supreme court, James Wilson, had to flee Pennsylvania to escape his creditors and was about to be served with extradition papers in Edenton, N. C., when he died. Also, John Rutledge of South Caro­ lina, one of the chief drafters of the constitution, was threatened with imprisonment for debt and only re­ mained out of jail through the suf­ ferance of his creditors. Today, U. S. congressmen, cabinet members, and federal judges remain relatively among the poorest paid public servants in the world. A U. S. ambassa­ dor to London is paid $17,500, while the British ambassador to tbe United States is paid $80,000. A U. S. Supreme court justice gets $20,000, while a New York state Supreme court justice gets $25,000.* • * PERSUADING NAZI PRISONERS Recently the army’s shrewd psychological warfare branch in­ stalled sound equipment at the edge of a Nazi-held port behind the Allied lines in France and offered the Germans a novel "Trial Sur­ render.” The message broadcast to the Germans went something like this: “Try it out for three days. If you don’t enjoy being a prisoner with us, you can return to your units.” As a result of the offer, eight Nazis surrendered. At the end of the three days, four agreed to stay; the other four asked to go back. The army let them go. To their sur­ prise, however, the four came back a few hours later bringing more than 50 of their tired Nazi comrades to join them in the comparatively luxurious prison camp surround­ ings. * * 9 CAPITAL CHAFF «.

'T'HERE was a driving, winter rain beating down, blown by a wind from the barren lands or “somewhere north of 53.” Stepping into a half-guarding niche, who should we run into but Eddie Eagan, probably the best light-heavyweight college boxer of all time. At least, wearing the color of Yale’s blue, he was g o o d enough to work out with such heavyweight fight­ ers as Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey and hold his own. He was also good enough to bring an offer f r o m Tex Rickard of $25,000 to fight in the semi­ final of one of the Dempsey - Tunney fights, which is pretty fair pay for a semi-finalist. Eagan, who is now a successful New York lawyer, began talking about a recent story I’d written con­ cerning the inability of college fight­ ers and other athletes to make good in pro boxing heavyweight ranks. I have always believed that Eddie Eagan, a first-class boxer, smart and game, a good puncher on the side, could have traveled quite a way in the professional game. He was smart enough to pick another career. “This matter of the college boxer in the pro arena is a hard thing to explain,” he said. “It isn’t a matter of the social side of life, social equality, etc., in which I have never been too much interested. But it does, mean a mat­ ter of dropping down into a pretty tough racket where you are sudden­ ly surrounded by a group of people you’d just as soon keep away from. The lower sector of the fight game is something few people know about. But I can tell you it is pretty low. It is packed with rackets, double crossers, chiselers, etc. and you must work your way up through this group. It is a tough road up. Ask Tunney or Dempsey.” “This reminds me,” I suggested, of George Phair’s famous lines "Hail! the conquering hero comes— Surrounded by a bunch of bums!” Eagan laughed. "That’s about the way it is. And that’s one reason a lot of good college boxers or college athletes don’t care to enter the fight game as a profession.” Another Angle “Here’s another angle,” Eddie Eagan offered. “The crowd only sees the few survivors who get to the top or near the top. It rarely sees the wreckage of all the thou­ sands who started out, to finish punch drunk or walking on their heels. Few of these have ever i learned how to protect themselves. ■ Too many are rushed forward too quickly. I “I recall talking with Gene Tunney I in his earlier years about this angle. I “ 'I’d made up my mind to do ’ three things,’ Tunney told me. ‘The first is to learn how to defend my­ self, to protect myself. I don’t want to find myself punch drunk about the time I have a chance to get somewhere.’ “ ‘The second is that I am going to take my time. I know this re­ quires a lot of patience. But I am not going to be crowded into any ring fight I am not ready for.’ “The next item was the matter 'of condition—hard work—hard train­ ing. ‘After that,’ Tunney said, ‘I will be ready to take up the matter of offense—of learning not only how but also where to punch.’ “You must admit that Gene fol­ lowed this program faithfully,” said Eagan. “He made himself intoagood defensive boxer. And he took his time on the way to Dempsey. From I the day Gene won the Bght-heavy- i weight championship of the AEF in France he used up seven years be­ fore he thought he was ready for a shot at the big title. Seven years of long, hard training is a long time to wait. Few would ever have waited half that long. Gene was al­ ways a fellow of tremendous pa­ tience. In those seven years Tun- ney never broke training. “I recall later the time and thought Tunney spent on increasing his punching power. Also the time he spent on locating the spots where a punch would hurt' most. And don’t ever forget that while Gene was no killing puncher, he could hurt you a lot. Ask Jack Dempsey—Jack’ll tell you. I know. I’ve boxed with him a lot. Gene never threw wild punches. There are certain nerve centers which he knew all about—and he was ac­ curate enough to land just there. * * • Golfer an Athlete? Several people have brought up the point that a golfer isn’t really an athlete. I wonder how many Imow what an athlete really is? By the old Grecian standards, and it was Greece that originated the word, an athlete is one who trains for war. Golf happens to be a game that demands the top in concentration on the job. This is a vital part of any competitive sport. Golf is also a game that requires coordination In tbe way of mind and muscle.

W IN K L E _ G O tST O M R S i / THEODORE PRATT W.N.U. release TH E STORT THUS PARs Forty-four- year-old W ilbert Winkle, who Is the pro­ prietor of a general repair shop in the alley back of his hom e, Is notified by his draft board that he is in 1-A. He had thought that the doctor who exam* Ined him would not overlook his dyspep­ sia, his nearsightedness and his caved* In chest. He breaks the bad news to his wife, Amy, and goes to work w ithout kiss* ins her goodby. The next day a news* paper photographer calls on him a t his shop and takes his picture, which ap* pears later on the front page under the caption, “ W inkle Proud to Fight.” The •tory explains that W inUe w as the first m arried selectee In SpringvilIe to be called. CHAPTER m “The telephone's been ringing «ver since the paper came out,” she announced. “People I haven’t seen or heard of in years have called. One woman I didn’t know at all—I mean, she was a perfect stranger.” “What did she want?” asked Mr. Winkle. Amy looked baffled. “I don’t know,” she replied. “She said she just felt she had to call. As if—oh, Wilbert, as if you were dead al­ ready.” Mrs. Winkle had often glared at him as if herself wishing him dead, I The Pettigrrews were first to ar­ rive. Mrs. Pettigrew was red-eyed from weeping. and now her concern that he might be killed seemed a little outlandish. Mr. Winkle merely said, “Well, I’m not dead.” “Wilbert, how do you really feel? This morning there wasn’t time to find out.” Mrs. Winkle gazed at him doubtfully. Again, at her hesitancy, at this suggestion that the upper hand was being returned to him, Mr. Winkle had an impulse to remind her of certain things. And again he re­ frained, not thinking the urge was quite decent. But he did protest, “Amy, don’t you look at me like that.” “Like what?” she asked. “As if I—that mouse-look,” he ac­ cused. She looked abashed. At first Mr. Winkle could not accept the fact that the expression was on her face. “I didn’t mean to," she replied. She sounded humble. “I can’t help being the way I am,” Mr. WinkJe stated. "Of course, dear. No one can.” Mr. Winkle was amazed.' But still he didn’t say anything about the miracle occurring before his very eyes. He didn’t care to embarrass Amy. “I feel,” he said in answer to her previous question, “like taking two doses for my dyspepsia.” He fum­ bled. in his pocket for his pills and brought them out. “Some people are coming in to­ night,” Mrs. Winkle revealed as she bustled to get dinner. “Just the folks on the street.” Astounded, Mr. Winkle asked; “What for?” “Well, they wanted to see you. Especially the Pettigrews. Their boy, Jack, has been called, too. He’s twenty, you know. He’ll be going off with you.” The evening, when it came around, was something of a combination of a funeral, a wedding, a family re- .union, and a celebration for. a per­ son about to leave on a dangerous expedition. The Pettigrews were the first to arrive. Mrs. Pettigrew was red-eyed from weeping, and she burst into new tears when she saw Mr. Winkle. “They probably won’t take you,” she wept, “but Jack—Jack—they’ll ■take him, and he’s only a baby.” Mr. Pettigrew himself said, “This is crazy, Winkle. Here’s Jack, hard­ ly over sucking his thumbs. And here’s you, old enough to be his fa­ ther.” Mr. Winkle and Jack eyed each other. The boy was self-conscious, as the young are in the presence of their elders who discuss them. Mr. Winkle, in his position as an adult, felt called upon to say something even though he really had nothing to say. “Well, Jack,” he told the boy, “it looks as if we’re being called by our country.” "Yes, sir,” Jack said, He could make no more of Mr. Winkle being drafted along with him than Mr. Winkle could make of Jack being selected along with him. Mr. Win­ kle wished that the boy wouldn’t be quite so respectful. More people came. They chat­ tered, and gazed curiously at Mrs. Winkle, as if they couldn’t believe what their eyes saw nor what their ears heard. Some of them were earnest about Mr. Winkle’s predica­ ment, some wondered, and others were amused. Mr. Winkle liked the last least of all. He didn’t see why people should laugh at him. Mr. Wescott, their next-door neigh­ bor, a rather pompous individual, cornered Mr. Winkle and stated, “If you’re the kind of soldier we’re go­ ing to have, God help us.” He stared at Mr. Winkle as if to ask him how he ever got himself into this. Mr. Winkle didn’t think this was very patriotic. Mr'. Wescott, who was prone to tell anybody aU about how anything was conducted, and who could well afford to inform Mr. Winkle about his fu­ ture because he was over forty-five and not subject to military duty, went on to say, “Of course, you know they-won’t use you as a com­ batant.” “You don’t think so?” Mr. Winkle asked hopefully.- “Think it out for yourself, man,” Mr. Wescott lectured. "They’ll have enough young fellows to do the actu­ al fighting. They want men in their proper places, according to their abilities. That's why they’re calling you ito the first place, so you can release a fighting man to fight.” Mr. Winkle was encouraged. “They won’t waste you as a kill­ er,” Mr.- Wescott assured him. Mr. Winkle didn’t know whether to feel flattered or insulted. His neighbor looked at him criti­ cally, as if gauging him for the first time. “You wouldn’t be any good, anyway. They’ll use you in some ltind of mechanical work.” ' “Well,” said Mr. Winkle, “I could handle that.” His courage took hold of him at this talk. “But, under­ stand me, if I thought I was capable of using a-gun. I’d do it anywhere they say.” “No, sir,” Mr. Wescott went on, •'you’ll never see active service. I can tell you that. You don’t have to worry about that for a minute.” Mr. Winkle ceased to worry, but only for the allowed minute, for Mt. Wescott then looked, thoughtful and amended, “Of course, men of your age are being used for combat in all the other armies, and if things get to that stage with us, I suppose you’ve got to consider that you might have to do a little shooting or bayonet work.” When it was time for their visitors to leave, they shook Mr. Winkle’s hand as if bidding him goodby be­ fore he went into action. Mrs. Pet­ tigrew’s tears had dried, but her perturbation remained. She plead­ ed of Mr. Winkle, “You’ll look after Jack, won’t you?” Mr. Winkle, despite all his timidity and ineffectual outer character, could appreciate the humor in a situ­ ation. “I think,” he said, “Jack ought to look after me.” He and Jack glanced at each oth­ er, and both smiled. The condemned, men had at least that mutual un­ derstanding. It was nearly eleven before the last of the guests left. Penelope came out froirn the corner where she had sulked all;«vening at the';inva- sion of. her own peaceful, life. Mr. Winkle, out- 6f habit, \took her to the back yard.." ' *•' - .. When he came in- agaia he started for the radio, to turn it on for the nightly war news broadcast he usu­ ally favored.'" Then.!he stopped and didn’t ’go near . it, Vtiut turned -to­ ward the stairs.' “Aren’t you going to,listen to the war news?” Mrs. Winkle asked.’ “I don’t think I-will tonight.” “But why—?” Mrs. Winkle began to speak as i I she ,were the same person as of before this' morning. But she caught herself and then said merely,: “Oh.” - Mr. Winkle felt like pinching him­ self to be sure he was awake and that.this was Amy showing such tact and. consideration. He Smiled a little, but not' so she could see him, and he decided that it was very nice indeed to have her this way. They went upstairs and there, while they prepared themselves for the night, Mrs. Winkle commented in a small voice that seemed to in­ dicate she had other things to say but couldn’t say them, “It was a nice party.'wasn’t it?” “Except,” said Mr. Winkle, “I don’t see exactly why it was held.” Mr. Winkle found his imagination running away with itself until his mind was possessed of a nightmare. - He saw himself packed into a troop transport. He had seen pic­ tures of how it was done. The bunks, one on top of another in many tiers, with only a narrow aisle be­ tween, made the men look like sar­ dines. Across the ocean the ship throbbed. And then in the night there was a dull, jarring thud. The ship shuddered. It began to list. Its engines stopped. . Flames rose and men pushed and- fell and screamed and struck and jumped. Mr. Winkle was in the water, which was covered thickly with OiL The oil caught fire and the flames raced toward him. He tried to blot out this picture. But it came again, and made him cold all over. He was bathed in perspiration. He began to shake slightly and found he couldn’t con­ trol it, no matter how much he tried. At that he learned how far Amy’s reformation had gone, and how real it was, and that she was good-heart­ ed all along as he always knew, and that now he was to become a sol­ dier, she was willing to express her feelings about it, even if only silent­ ly. Without a word, Mrs. Winkle turned in the bed beside him. She slipped a soft warm arm under his neck and put the other over his chest, and held him tightly. She seemed to understand. Mr. Winkle was ashamed that she did, but greatly comforted, too. * * * The President of the United States, To Wilbert George Winkle, Greeting: Having submitted your­ self to a local board composed of your neighbors for the purpose of determining your availability tor training and service in the armed forces of the United States, you are hereby notified that you have now been selected for training and serv­ ice in the Army. Mr. Winkle had never before re­ ceived a communication from the President. Following his prominent newspa­ per appearance and the gathering of the people of Maple Avenue, he would look very foolish indeed if he were turned down and returned home after being sent to the Induc­ tion Center. He understood that, even though accepted, he had the privilege of returning home for a week to put his affairs in order before leaving again for good. But his fellow draftees had all announced their in­ tention of waiving the week’s fur­ lough, and now he followed suit. He ha.d heard the jokes to the ef« feet that if you could breathe or were warm, the Army would ac­ cept you, and though he didn’t like to believe them, he prepared for going away and staying away. As a precaution against a drastic circumstance, Mr. Winkle made his will, a ceremony that not even Pe­ nelope regarded as a happy one. He finished the few jobs he had in the shop and would take no more. He packed away his tools in grease and oil, and tacked up heavy pa- mI In its place over the doors b placed a small sign “Closed.” per over the windows. He took in his sign and placed it on the floor with its face against the wall. In its place, over the doors, he placed a small sign saying,. “Closed.” He reflected that people who didn’t know his establishment wouldn’t know what was closed because he had taken in the other sign, but finally decided that this didn’t m at ter in the least He was ready to leave. The evening before his departure he investigated the bag Amy had packed for him and brought down­ stairs. In it she had put those few articles listed in a pamphlet Mr, Winkle had purchased at a news­ stand for guidance. “Travel light, Mr. Selectee,” this advised. “Don’t load up with bag­ gage because you won’t have any use for it. The Army is going to clothe you, Mr. Selectee, complete to underwear, socks and handker­ chiefs.” Only on one point had Mrs. Win­ kle deviated from the instructions. Upon examining her packing, Mr, Winkle found that she had included his rubbers. He now took them out. Firmly, showing a spark of her old spirit, Mrs. Winkle put them back again, rewrapping them in the tissue paper he stripped away. “With the rubber shortage,” she said, “the Army may not have a pair for ev­ ery man.” “I don’t think they have rubber! in the Army,” Mr. Winkle protested* “They won’t let me wear them.” (TO BE CONTINUED) --------------IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson BY HAROLD L.

Lesson for February 4 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission* JESUS’ CONCERN FOB ALL LESSON TE X T -M atthew 9:1. 9-13, 18-26. GOLDEN T E X T -T hereIore all things w hatsoever ye would that m en should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this is the law and the prophets.—M atthew 7:12. What is a man worth? Well, say we, that depends, and then we are prone to undervalue him. Jesus had (and taught) a high regard for the inherent value of man. He saw pos­ sibilities in all men. He had a IoVe for them. He was concerned about their welfare, and they responded by an interest in Him. Jesus showed by His dealings with men how wrong are most of the standards and attitudes of the world. With Him there were: I. No Social Barrier (vv. I, 9, 10). The caste system of some lands, dividing people into social strata which separate men and hinder fel­ lowship, does not exist in our land. Yet, in practice, we have such lev­ els which are a formidable barrier in the thinking of many (perhaps most) people. Jesus knew nothing of social bar­ riers. He ignored them and went straight to the one in need. In our lesson it was a man of position and wealth who was an outcast among his people because he was a hated gatherer of taxes for Rome. Jesus saw in him a man of faith and a useful witness for Him. And He not only talked with him, but called him to be His disciple. Then He went further and, to the astonishment of His critics, went in to a great feast where many such men were gathered. He ate with publicans and sinners, not because He approved of their manner of life, but because He want­ ed to change it as He changed them. II. No Fear of Criticism (w . 11-13). Many a kind and noble impulse has died a-boming because of the fear of criticism. “What will people say?” has kept many a Christian from speaking to some sinner about his (or her) soul. “The world is too much with us—” and we all too often guide our lives and service by the possible reaction we may receive from those round about us. We did not learn such an attitude from Jesus. His answer to His critics made it clear that there will be no self- righteous, “good enough” people in heaven. The Lord is not even calling them, so long as they trust in their own goodness. He came to seek and to save sinners (v. 13, and Luke 19:10). We, too, may go forward without fear of our critics. That doesn’t mean that we “don’t care what peo­ ple think” about us. We ought to care, but if their opinion is based on unbelief and self-righteousness, it should certainly not deter us from our all-important business of soul- winning. in . No Limitation of Time and Place (vv. 18-22). Often the help of man to those in need is circumscribed by so many regulations that those who most' de­ serve help cannot get it. There are times and places for application forms, and tests must be completed, etc. Doubtless much of this is need­ ed, but one wonders at times wheth­ er our charitable impulses have not disappeared under a mountain of red tape. Be that as it may, how interesting it is to see that Jesus met the need when and where it appeared. He was already on one errand of mercy when the sick woman touched His robe. He was not too busy nor too preoccupied to stop and give her a word of help and comfort (v. 22). Is there not a significant lesson here for us in the church? The need is reason enough for the ex­ tension of our help. The place is anywhere that men are in sadness or sorrow, and the hour is now— when they need our help. IV. No Lack of Power (vv. 23-26). How often the human heart is prompted to help, and willing hands are ready to follow its promptings in loving action, yet we find that we cannot do anything. The need is too great for our meager resources. Our strength does not suffice. We have no money, or the situation is one beyond human help. How wonderful it is then to re­ member the Lord Jesus! A touch on the hem of His garment in faith made the woman whole (v. 22). A word from Him brought the dead little girl out to face the scorners of Jesus, in the bloom of life and health.Has He lost any of His great pow­ er? No. He is just “the same yes­ terday, and today, and forever” (Heb. 13:8). Whynot trust Him? Do you need help—spiritual, men­ tal, physical? He" is able. He has no prejudice regarding your social position. He will meet you right where you are, and right now. He is seeking the sick and the sinful— “the lost, the last, and the least.” Look to Him by faith. The great Physician now is near. The sym pathizing Jesus: B e speaks, the drooping heart to cheer; O hear the voice of Jesus.

Just a month 1 r two before the election most of the meats and can­ ned goods were taken off the ra tioned list. Even before Roose­ velt was inaugurated these goods were again placed on the ration list. W e are not going to comment We have come to the conclusion that there is no one left in Davie county who knows how to make locust and persimmon beer AU of the old-timers who depended on good, wholesome beverages tbat were not intoxicating, have passed on to the haopy hunting grounds. The present generation seems to depend on beer, wine, coca-cola and other drinks to allay their thirst. Backward, turn backw rd, oh time In thy flight and give us one mere jng of locust beer that tastes like that which our grand dads made in the long ago.

Vitamins for Winter Are Very Essential For Health, Well Being Vitamin-rich vegetables tossed to­ gether with mayonnaise make this salad bowl good, healthy eating. Carrot curls and lettuce make a pretty color combination. It’s an easy m atter to get vegeta­ bles and fruits into the diet dur­ ing the summer months because supplies are plen­ tiful. However, we need just as many fruits and vegetables in win­ ter, and there is not as much available. Every homemaker should make it her job to see that the family does not suffer from fruit and vegetable lack during the winter. True, sup­ plies are shy but there are foods in both categories that are in season, and these should be used for all they’re worth. If fruits and vegetables are served raw, more of the valuable vitamins can be saved. Salads should have a big place in the menu. Apples, pears, oranges and grapefruit offer variety and vitamins aplenty, while carrots, cabbage, beets, green beans, squash, turnips, spinach and brussels sprouts can hold their own on the vegetable front. Today I’ve selected vegetables which are particularly adaptable served in salad form. Tack these recipes where you can find them and serve often: *Spinach Toss. (Serves 6 ) 3 cups broken lettnce 3A cup fresh spinach sA cup shredded raw carrots 1A cup iced celery 6 radishes, sliced I tablespoon minced onion M cup French dressing Hub bowl with a clove of garlic, but do not let it remain in bowl. Put all vegetables together in bowl just before serving. Pour French dressing over all and toss with fork Wd spoon until well mixed. Hearty Winter Salad. (Serves 8 ) 1 package lemon-flavored gelatin 2 cups hot water I teaspoon vinegar I teaspoon salt I cup cooked peas Yi cup diced celery y2 cup finely shredded cabbage Yi cap diced pimiento, if desired Dissolve gelatin in hot water. Add Vinegar and salt. .Chill until slight­ ly thickened. Fold vegetables into gelatin and pour into shallow pan or 8 individual molds. Unmold on crisp lettuce and serve with may­ onnaise which has been thinned with sour cream or milk. • Golden Winter Salad. (Serves 6 ) 1 package orange-flavored gelatin 2 cups boiling water or I cup fruit juice and I cup water 1 apple, unpeeled and diced 2 tablespoons lemon juice Ys teaspoon salt Lynn Says Don’t Waste a Scrap: Every bit of. food you buy can be made to work. Outer leaves of lettuce, spinach, and leftover bits of pars­ ley from garnish can be used to give flavor to soups. The same is true of leftover Uquids left from cooking vegetables. Stale cake may be sliced and served with fruit and fruit jiiices. Combine with eggs and milk and bake into pudding. Or, use it to line pudding molds and pour gela­ tin or custard over it to make icebox dessert. Dry, leftover bread may be toasted and used on top of soup. Or, grind and make into bread crumbs, or use in stuffings to stretch meat. Syrups from canned fruit may be utilized for fruit sauces to pour over puddings and custards. Left­ over jams and jellies are ideal for pastry fillings and for flavor­ ing and sweetening stewed fruits and berries. Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving Menus Chicken Liver Spaghetti Parsleyed Carrots ’Spinach Toss French Bread with Butter Pickles Olives Honey-Baked Pears Orange Crisps •Recipe given. IYi cups diced grapefruit sections % cup chopped walnut meats Dissolve gelatin in boiling water and chill until it begins to thicken. Cube apple and sprinkle with lemon juice and salt. Remove all mem­ brane from grapefruit sections and dice. Combine grapefruit, apples and nut meats into gelatin. Pour into molds that have been rinsed with cold water. Chill until set and serve with mayonnaise. Hot Slaw. (Serves 8 ) 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten Yt cup cold water 1A cup vinegar I tablespoon butter I tablespoon sugar Yt teaspoon salt 3 cups shredded raw cabbage Combine egg yolks, water, vine­ gar, butter, salt and sugar. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, un­ til mixture thickens. Add cabbage and reheat. One of the factors which makes salad making so easy is the use of a real mayonnaise which is so smooth-textured and easily blended with the ingredients. It is nutri­ tious, too, for it contains oil and egg yolk which adds a vitamin D boost to the diet: Side Dish Salad. (Serves 6j 12 carrot curls I cucumber, cut In fingers (or dill pickle) Lettuce, sliced Mayonnaise Wash and scrape carrots; cut in very thin lengthwise strips and leave in ice water until curled. Arrange carrot curls, cucumber fingers and lettuce slices in salad bowl. Serve with real mayonnaise. Make your lunches vitamin rich by serving a sandwich with a rich* in-vitamin-B salad: Vitamin “B” Salad.

Not a juvenile delinquency problem, but the record of careers of some lead­ ing actresses here who leave their home lots as newcomers, go out­ side to make important pictures, es­ tablish careers and reputations for themselves, and then return to their home lots as stars. There’s Anne Baxter, for exam­ ple, the guest in Hunt Stromberg’a “Guest in the H o u s e,” t h e crowning role of her career. And she’s had some pretty big ones, including “Mag­ nificent Amber- Anne Baxter sons” and “North Star,” both of which Anne made away from her home lot. The “Guest” Linda Darnell js a strong-willed girl whose selfishness brings unhappiness to ev­ ery one she meets. Evelyn Heath (the guest) is to Anne Baxter what Mildred was to Bette Davis in “Of Human Bondage,” what Scarlett O’Hara was to Vivien Leigh in “Gone With the Wind”—we hope. Anne began her screen career on a loan-out back in 1940. David 0. SeIznick first tested Anne and Twen­ tieth Century signed her on the basis of the test. Then Metro borrowed her for her first screen role iff “Twenty Mule Team.” A Flying Start ' Another example of the girl who made good away from home is Jennifer Jones, who won an Acad­ emy award for “Song of Berna­ dette.” Selznick signed her, loaned her to Twentieth for the title role in the Franz Werfel story, then refused to let her play the title role in “Laura,” which has put Gene Tierney among our first ten young­ sters. Linda DanielI had been playing juvenile leads at home—Twentieth Century—but they got her hardly anywhere. Then Rene CIair came along with “It Happened Tomor­ row,” a picture which had a role made to order for Linda. She fol­ lowed as a selfish Russian peasant girl in Chekov’s "Summer Storm,” and she completed the starring fem­ inine role in Bing Crosby’s “The Great John L.” Three top assign* ments, one after the other. Ruth Gets Around Buth Warrick is a widely loaned- out actress here. Under contract to RKO1 she played opposite Edward G. Robinson in “Mr. Winkle Goes to War,” then Pat O’Brien in “Se­ cret Command,” and then “Guest in the House.” So what happened aft­ er that? Ruth was handed the top role at RKO in “China Sky,” which Claudette Colbert had turned down. Same thing happened to Baxter. When she got back to Twentieth they handed her a good role in “Czarina,” with Tallulah Bankhead. Ingrid Bergman, under contract to Selznick, is one of our most impor­ tant loan-out stars. After “Intermez­ zo” for Selznick she did “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” “Gaslight,” and “Saratoga Trunk,” all at different studios and David made much money on the deals. Now she rer turns home for “Spellbound.” Another Stray Metro killed Laraine Day off in a Dr. Kildare picture in order to help her escape from the series. Then Laraine began making the rounds— away from home. First she did “Mr. Lucky,” with Cary Grant, then C. B. De Mille’s "Story of Dr. Was- sell.” After those two pictures, opposite Cary Grant and Gary Cooper, Laraine was ready for star­ dom on her own home lot, so Metro gave her “The Woman’s Army.” The most rented-out baby in town is Joan Fontaine, but she no longer cares, for always she gets top roles in top pictures. Leaving home in Hollywood has spelled success to some fine ac­ tresses, given them the biggest op­ portunities of their careers. In the old days the home lots groomed their young players for ’ stardom, then built a fence ’round them a mile high so no one else would be able to cash in on their success. Today Hollywood doesn’t hoard talent—it lends at a profit. Because Hollywood is sm art enough now to know that when girls leave home they’ll return with a better fan following, a higher box office rating, plus experience.• • • Secret, but Not Very Columbia studio isn’t admitting that Jose Iturbi doubled for Cornell Wilde when Chopin takes to the pi­ ano in “A Song to Remember,” nor that Frank Sinatra doubles for Phil Silvers in a number for the harem ladies in “One Thousand and One Nights,” but everybody’s going to know it when the swooning starts. . . . Esther Williams, who made a terrific hit on her tour of hospitals with the song “Can’t I Do Anything But Swim?” will sing it in “Early to Wed."

TESlDAGWOODtAND THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO BUYALOT OS WAR BOND f— I**. I—- Predicts Increased Inyestment By American Farmers During Sixth War Bond Campaign WASHINGTON, D. C.—A prediction < that American farm ers will invest m ore money in bonds during the Sixth W ar Loan than in any previous drive was m ade today by m e W ar Finance Division of m e U. S. Treasury. Farm ers bought $1,250,000,000 worth of W ar Bonds during 1943, according to m e Bureau of Agricultural Eco­ nomics. In 1944 it is believed they can and should purchase a total of $2,000,000,000, Ted B. Gamble, na­ tional Director of the W ar Finance Division, said. Income a t Peak The Sixm W ar Loan, starting No­vem ber 20, comes at an ideal tim e for agriculture, he pointed out.This is not only the tim e when farm income is at a seasonal peak, but 1944 m arks three years of record breaking farm income, he said. Basea on information obtained from the BEA, m e Agricultural Section of me W ar Finance Division estim ates me 1944 cash farm income at $20,600,- 000 ,000 , com pared with $20,000 ,000,000 tn 1943. . Aimough net farm income, due to higher operating costs, m ay not be greater than in 1943, m ost farm ers now have reduced their debts and consequently will have m ore money to put into W ar Bonds, me division makes m em as liquid as a dollar bill, it is no longer necessary Jb r the farm ­er to m aintain a large bank account to m eet possible emergencies, Mr. Gamble stated. Therefore, he be­lieves, form ers will convert p art of these deposits into W ar Bonds. reports. In me twelve months ending Uary I, 1944, form ers reduced Jan- realestate mortgages alone by $650,000,- 000. Bank Deposits Gain After paying all operating costs and necessary family expenses, farm ers will have left this year for investm ent and debt reduction over $5,000,000,000, m e Agricultural Sec­tion also estimates. Because of m e fact m at new m a­chinery is not obtainable, farm de­posits are piling up in rural banks. Demand deposits held by farm ers In these banks are estim ated at $4,500,000,000 and tim e deposits at $2,000,000,000. Since the new method of redeeming Series E Savings Bonds Ted E . Gamble W ar Bond purchasers will provide a farm financial reserve to protect against dam age by drought, flood and livestock disease, will assure cash to replace and repair buildings and machinery as well as to build back soil fertility depleted by war­tim e food production, and will pro­vide funds for education, vacations and old age security.The high farm income this year is the result of me huge increase in farm production to m eet wartim e food needs rather than a rise in § rices, which have been held down y m e OPA it was explained. ilLVESTRI BIG LEAGUE BACK­ STOP FORIftE NY Vanks and C hi­ cago WHlTE SO/, WAS UMOERSWIb YM KS1BUtL DICKEY.
