Hiddenite- N- C A quotation says: “ W ithout salary food, extra clothing, or purse, 10 000 Mohammedan stud ents in the University of Cairo, Egypt, are preparing to go out with the sole purpose of tearing down tbe Cross and erecting the Crescent in its place. Tbeyw illdo this for a false and dead prophet. Clergy and laity of America, a wake! W bat faith and sincerity and sincerity are you showing in the Christ, the Son of tbe true God, who is alive tor ever more?” While multitudes of professed Christians in America are indiffer ent, careless, sleepy, and living for beueath their privileges in the Gos pel of the Lord Jesus Christ; ao while thousands of our churches are spiritually dead, many of which are closing their doors and ceasing to function any longer; and while millions of boys and girls, young people, fathers and mothers never attend Sunday school, nor darken a cbu ch door; and while we have billions of dollars to finance this horrible war, killing and slaying humanity, and billions to spend for beer, liquor, tobacco, the wicked movies, and for needless luxuries and hurtful indulgences, failing to lift up the Cross of Christ and His banner of truth, salvation and holi ness, there are ten thousands Mo hammedan students poor and needy, and no doubt suffering for the ac tual necessities of lite, so much in terested and enthused over their false religion and a dead, false pro phet, that they go forth to de nounce. reject and tear down the Cross of Cbrist which is opposed to religion, until we should be asham ed of ourselves, and feel wretched as a nation, with the Gospel and Cross of Christ, which is tbe only way of salvation, yet so Indifferent. May God have mercy upon us Is it not high time for us to a- wake and get busy for God? We often wonder why it is that people are so zealous over a false doctrine, and yet people with the real truth, the truth religion of Jesus Christ, and tbe doctrine that is pure, yet so indifferent toward getting it a cross to their fellowmen. They sleep and slumber, fail to watch and pray and give only a pittance toward tbe spread of tbe Gospel in its pnrity and power and the salva tion of precious souls. We wonder whv it is, do you? May God stir our hearts to great activity for his cause and kingdom. Multitudes are perishing without Christ. Do you not care? False religions are spreading over tbe earth, .and do you not care?

We have had to mark several names off our books this week. Maybe one of them was your husband or son. Too Latet Nowt Brother We were interested in a para graph appearing on the editorial page of Charity and Children, tbe delightful weekly published at Mills Home, the North Carolina Baptist’ orphanage at Thomasville. It said: “ The story out from Raleigh this morning is to the effect that the present legislature will not allow the people of North Carolina to vote on the liquor question. We are not at all surprised. As a mat ter of fact it would surprise us in an unbelievable way if'the present legislature would even consider such a thing. That issue was de cided definitely last tall when tbe people of North Carolina voted for men to represent them in tbe legis. lature, the great majority of whom were against anything that would stop tbe legal flow of liquor in North Carolina.” It's to late, now dear brother. Last year we plead ed with the voters to carefully weight every candidate for tbe General Assembly, knowing or be lieving that a request for a state wide referendum on liquor would come before the 1945 session and aiso knowing full well that the li quor men” get nominated in the primaries. That was all they need ed. Tbev knew a liquor-dominated Democratic party would send the wianers of the primaries to the Legislature and would overwheln. iogly control that body. They played tbe game safe and they won. The so-called or self-styled drys, the men who so loudly proclaim their drvness and yet vote for ring, ing, reeking wets, are going to reap the harvest at this session. The wets are in tbe saddle and, accord ing to one of the dry senators, we do not have a Chinaman's chance of getting a referendum out of the 1945 session despite the request of Governor Cherry in his inangual address. Let’s quit this business of rush' ing out to lock up the stable long after tbe horse has been stolen, Let’s get busy in the spring and see to it that these wets are defeat ed in the primaries. Then, let’s elect the drys in November. The first trouble arises over the fact too manv of these so called dry leaders are hide.bound Democrats that they will not support any dry Re. publicans. They will even nold their noses to vote for wet Demo crats Then, let’s quit making our bi ennial outcry after the General As sembly meets in January. — Ex.

Having ingratiated himself with all of tbe deviltries of the Roose- velt New Deal gangsters, James F. Byrnes now comes to the relief of tbe liquor indnstty and tied np with all of the sordidness it brings to onr people sqffer.on account of tbe shortages he so eloquently speaks of as to manpower, manpower, materials and transportation facili ties but is so careful to see that li quor shortages are taken care of. Tbe American people d 0 not shrink back from orders that affect them seriousl" in the tightening up of their belts in order that our ser vicemen may have plenty and that that tbe war may be fought vigor ously and victory speedily won. No. we are glad to suffer our Htlle bit for the sake of those who are dying for us on battlefields overseas. But we do resent this business of mak ing us suffer for the sake of war necessities and at the same time turning manpower so badlv needed at the front or in war plants to making more liquor, keeping the wheels of this industry turning in order that the government mav pile up its stock of liquor in the ware bouses that politicians may not suf fer for the lack of this stuff. The Christian Science Monitor— one of the nation’s leading Chris, tian newspapers—brings this for cibly to our attention in tbe follow ing challenging edirorial: Hardly has the whisky distilling industry entered upon its secon- 30-dav holiday from the prodttcd tion of war alcohol than the rumor is spread that another vacation is in prospect for April. This Is Qn- beliavable. almost fantastic, in the face of the situation repeatedly de scribed by W ar Mobilizer Brynes Are manpowet materials, and trans portation facilities to be diverted from the war effort for the mann. f. cture of non-essential? During the present month, tbe distilleries plan the production of 40.000,000 gallons of spirituous li quors Hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain which might better have gone into tbe production of more meat for a sharply rationed civilian population are to be poured into the mash tubs. To transpon this grain to the distilleries takes hundreds of freight cars and the effort of essential railroad workers. Their labor is wasted. The liquor industry says that un less it is allowed these holidays there will be shor age of whiskey. Of tbe so called potable spirits now distilled, part goes Into storage for use after agiug. Tbe rest—raw al cohol, called ‘ neutral spirits” —is mixed with whiskey for immediate use. This calls for the employ ment of many bands, mostly wom en, in the bottling houses, who could serve their country better, and make more money, in war plants. One of the chief materials used in tbe marketing of whisky is knaft paper for cartons. Cartons are vitally needed. The Nation is saving paper for this purpose. Is the Government to allot paper car tons for tbe whisky people to waste? And what of the corks. Iabelc, bot ties, and tbe labor diverted for their manufacture? W hat if there is a whiskey short age? Butter, bacon, beef—a score of food articles—as well as clothing, are scarce and the Nation manages to survive. Has the whisky htisu u.'ss a Government priority? Is it a sacred cow? Must the w.i: effort suffer from the sake of tippler’s ai petites and distillers' profits?— Uoion Republican. An X mark after your name means you owe us.

Gag Role Stays Put (Editorial from The Greensboro News) The North Carolina house of re presentatives wiii for the 1945 ses sion, it seems, operate under the gag rale which a couple of Uspredo- cessors adopted for the purpose of avoiding a roll call vote on the sub mission of a referendum on prohibi tion, ' To be sore the requirements of a two-third vote to withdraw a bill from any committee does not mention John Barevcorn bv name, but who is credulous enough to be lieve that the rule was'pnt into force to exalt the horn of committees in general? Well, is it lousy procedure, as cow ardly as it undemocratic; but we dare tbe most ardent of the drys to assert that it receives its chief im- pefetns from those who have made it a habit of voting, as they drink, wet. And even now chief protest a- gainst it on the floor of the House will not come from personally and political drvs, but stems in the main from those taking a drink a hanging crime and who might in a statewide referendum vote to extend the bene • tits, if any, of liquor control to the 75 counties now enjoying what they are pleased to call prohibition. True to his promise to recommend a referendum. Governor Cherry has elready called upon the legislature to face the issue. That is far en ough for him to go, for anybody who has work to do involving tbe general assembly has long since discovered that trying to induce it to handle the liquor question either honestly or intelligently is a waste of time. Mind you. we’rs not bragging on it. but that is the situation. In all probability the rules will not gag anybody trving to Becure considera tion for any other problem of state; so let’s go on about tue finishable business and leave prohibition to post-war planners. nA a a riw W.

(See Recipes Below) D essert Sim plicity D essert Trio Desserts that are delicious in spite of their simplicity and yet hearty enough to satisfy appetites whipped to their keenest by sharp wintry weather are the order of the day. We’re concentrating on des serts that take up little time and effort, little of the precious, rationed sugar, but use plenty of fruits in season. There are m a n y recipes among them that use eggs or milk to fortify diets shy in these two important foods. The first is an especially quickly prepared dessert that is satisfying but not too heavy: Fruit Cupcakes Slice plain bakery cupcakes into w edges, cutting only h alf w ay through. Open gently and fill the cavity with meringue and fruit. Bits of fruit left- over from breakfast or lunch may be used. Served with cof fee or another hot beverage, these make a tempUng climax to heavier fall and winter meals. Butterscotch Rice Pudding. (Serves 6) H cup rice 2 cups milk Vi teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons butter V, cup brown sugar I tablespoon lemon juice Vi teaspoon vanilla Vi cup chopped dates Wash rice and add salt and rice to the milk. Bring to a boil and then simmer 25 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter, add brown sugar and cook over a low flame until very dark brown but not burned. Add the caramel mixture to the rice and milk and stir until dissolved. Re move from heat and add lemon juice, vanilla and dates. Pour into a wet bowl and chill. When cold, this pudding can be u n m o ld e d . Serve plain or with cream. Pears are in season and are good to serve with cake or just plain fresh or stewed. Here they are com bined into cake: Pear Cake. Vi cup shortening Vi cup sugar 2, eggs I cup sifted flour I teaspoon baking powder Vi teaspoon salt I teaspoon cinnamon Vi teaspoon lemon extract Topping: 10 pear halves, pared and stewed Vi cup sugar I teaspoon cinnamon Cream shortening, add sugar and cream until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well. Add flour which has been sifted with baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Lynn Says Saving Sugar: Syrups may be used in cookies while sugar is saved for cakes. The texture of cookies is not affected enough by syrup in place of sugar so that it is perfectly all right to use it. Use % cup honey or com syrup in place of each cup of sugar, and add 2 tablespoons of flour to each cup called for in recipe. Fruits may be sweetened with jams and jellies or honey. Add sweetening last with a pinch of salt to make the most of it. Prepared pudding and gelatin mixes may be used with unbaked sweet cooky crusts to save sugar in making pies. Thicken left-over fruit syrup from canned fruit with cornstarch and use as sauce for puddings. Make use of. dried and fresh fruits for their natural sugar con tent. Substitute fresh fruits in sea son and custards for cakes and pastries as often as possible.

Looking at HOLLYWOOD \ \ T HEN “Roughly Speaking” hit the stands last year I started right in yelping about it. As I re member, my words were: “One of the most fascinating books I’ve ever read. As American as Boston baked beans. Charac te rs stu rd y as Plymouth rock. M rs. Pierson, American m oth er, could, if she had the stuff to do it w ith, lick H itler single- handed, as she’s licked wealth and p o v e r t y a n d Louise Randall brought up five Pierson children. There’s a woman I’d fly thousands of miles to meet.” She reminded me of it when she got here for the filming of her book. E s s e n c e o f A m e r i c a Mrs. Pierson, whose life story, “Roughly Speaking,” was recently completed by Warners, with Roz Russell in the autobiographical role, is a person that you, too, have met, whether you know it or not. She’s America. Bom rich, pampered by a father Who dressed like and faintly be lieved he might be King Edward (even to the beard, which he bril- liantined), Louise was dumped out on a coldly realistic world at the age of 10, flat broke. Returning from his funeral, her mother called her two daughters to gether in the Sunroom. “The trouble is,” she said, "your father indorsed notes.” There didn’t seem any use in sit ting around bawling, so before long Louise was going great guns as a secretary ($12 a week), when she met her first husband-to-be, Rodney —“six feet two, tailored by Brooks, and had won six Latin prizes at Yale.” Rodney was making $66.66 a month in a bank, so the two went to live in an $18 a month flat, where she had four children in four years. When Rodney really got into the chips the family moved to Ossining, where Louise plunged into every thing from politics to the little thea ter. Tragedy struck in the form of infantile paralysis, temporarily laying low all four children. Louise Jr., never did fully recover. Rodney decided one day he’d had enough. “I’m moving to the Yale club,” he declared. So without too much ado she got a divorce, another job, another hus band, and in due time another baby. Husband No. 2, Harold Pierson, fought with the Canadians in the last war. K i n d r e d S p i r i t s He was as nuts as she. “I’ve always had a weakness for big men with black hair and blue eyes,” says Louise. “Besides, ha was romantic, charming, irresponsi ble, generous.” He was also rich, owning the vast Pierson green houses and nurseries near Tarry- town. Three years later-they were broke. Harold got a WPA job in the New York City parks department, which led to the superintendency of land scape construction at the world's fair. She had always wanted to write letters to newspapers, heckling edi torial writers. One of these missives she aimed at Arthur Krock, political editor of the New York Times. Amused, he showed it to his friend Max Schuster, who promptly sent Louise a check and told her to start writing a book. At first, she tells me, she thought it was a gag, but when the check didn’t bounce she realized she was stuck. The result was “Roughly Speaking.” She said it was the hardest work she ever did, and she’s worked hard at everything from scrubbing floors to running a 37-foot boat. The book was an overnight smash (I threw at least five of my hats in the air), and three studios began bidding. Warners wired her: “Will you ac cept $35,000 for ‘Roughly Speaking’ and a contract at $300 a week, with expenses paid both ways?” An swered Louise: “Three hundred a week not enough—need new tooth brush.” Replied Warners: “How about $500, then?” To which Lou ise wired: “Okay. That will pay for toothbrush and new hair-do, too.” Louise Randall Pierson seems to be a feature at Warners. That first contract was torn up and a much fancier one rigged up. She and Har old bought a place at Santa Monica. If you’ve read the book, “Rough ly Speaking,” I don’t have to urge you to see the picture. If you haven’t, I envy you the treat in store for you.• • • L o o k O u t , N e w Y o r k Lee Shubert is on his way here to complete arrangements for “Sweet Surrender,” a musical which is about the battle between Monterey and Los Angeles years ago. It will feature Leo Carrillo. The lyrics kid the pants off everything in Los An geles. That alone will cause it to run in San Francisco a year. It would be too good to be true, hav ing two plays succeed here before they hit Broadway. Remember “Song of Norway” opened on the west coast.

C. •VTORY BEHIND MONTGOMERY* BRADLEY COMMAND SHIFT There is significant background behind the appointment of British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery to command two American armies, thereby taking away most of the command of Lieut. Gen. Omar N. Bradley. There are also interesting reasons why it was kept such a hush-hush matter from the Ameri can public. General Bradley has now been awarded the bronze star by Eisenhower and congratulated by Churchill to take the sting out of his loss of the First and Ninth armies. The idea that Bradley made the transfer him self also has been publicized. Despite these maneuvers it is known inside the war depart ment that highest U. S. war chiefs opposed the transfer to Montgomery and that it was put across by General Eisenhower anyway. Background of the reshuffle goes back to the landing in Normandy last summer when Montgomery was given Caen as his objective, while Bradley was to -take Cherbourg. Bradley reached his objective ahead of schedule in a new type of of fensive fighting, in which U. S. troops did not wait for supplies to come up nor for snipers to be wiped out. Montgomery, using more conserv ative, slow-moving, old-fashioned tac tics, sat with his army at Caen and either could not or would not break through until long after schedule, and until Bradley, ignoring Mont gomery, smashed the Nazi lines to the south and started the lightning dash to Paris. 'Montgomery Demoted.’ Afterward, the Stars and Stripes carried a story that Bradley was being promoted to the rank of full general and would supersede Mont gomery. The Stars and Stripes be ing an official army newspaper, the story naturally was true. But pub lication in London caused such a furor among the British that the British broadcasting company went on the air with an emphatic denial. After that the shift of armies was held up for a while, until Mont gomery could be made a Field Mar shal to appease both him and Brit ish public opinion. Bradley then took over command of all the American armies under Eisenhower, and Montgomery was left only with the two British and Canadian armies In Holland and Belgium. Since then Monty has been wait ing for his chance to stage a come back. His friends of the British press—of whom he has many—have been doing the same. So immediate ly following the German break through, he began pressuring Eisen hower to give him the American First and Ninth armies. Montgomery is a superb defensive figher. When his back was to the wall at EI AIamein just a few miles from Cairo, he did a great job. When given offensive jobs as in Sicily, at Caen, and at Arnhem he failed to make the grade. How much of Eisenhower’s decision to put Montgomery in command of the two American armies depended upon his ability as a defensive fighter, and how much on British pressure is not known. It is known, however, the transfer of commands was opposed in the war department and was carefully hushed-up for two weeks and not even all of the top-ranking executives In the Pentagon building knew about it. Also it is a significant fact that Eisenhower is answerable to Chur chill as well as Roosevelt. He can not be removed by Roosevelt with out Churchill’s O.K. and he has to get along with both. That is an im portant point not realized by many. But not to be forgotten. .? Note: Rivalry among high rank ing generals exists in every war, probably worse in the last war. Gen eral Pershing and Gen. Peyton March, U. S. chief of staff, were hardly on speaking terms. General Pershing also sent Gen. Clarence Ransom Edwards of Boston, hero of New England, home from France because of clashing personalities. * * * CAPITOL CHAFF fl. At the dinner of the Washington radio correspondents.

There are now from twenty to thirty present and former stars who stand along the bor der line, where the dividing margin is thinner than a ra zor blade — such men as Jimmy Col lins, Roger Bresna- han, Mel Ott, Bill Klem, Clark Grif fith, Frank Chance, Johnny Evers, Ed Walsh, Fred Clarke, M iller H uggins, GrantlandRice Lefty Grove, Carl Hubbell, Rube Wad dell—on and on. Most of these players, numbering twenty or thirty, will have to wait for another year. AU left deep im pression on baseball fans and their mark in baseball history, but only a few can be chosen. Any Hall of Fam e that becomes too crowded and has too many names, loses at least a part of its enduring value. But the long list of available names still left, proves again why baseball for over sixty years has contributed so much to the sporting side of American life. There are any number of old stars who won’t even get a vote—who won’t even be mentioned—and yet these are not so far away from top rank. Your correspondent has been covering and watching baseball for over forty years, yet the problem of selecting leaders from the long pa* rade of stars becomes a blur. “How," we keep muttering, "can anyone leave so-and-so out?” You might suggest that if a ball player isn’t a standout, why should he be considered? But what are you going to do about so many standouts—at least so many who have given so much skill and color to the game that they wind up in a photo finish? Ed Delehanty, Frank Frisch, Dizzy Dean, Mickey Coch rane, Herb Pennock, Gabby Hart* nett, once again it is on and on. Frank Chance For example, there’s Frank Chance, named as “The Peerless Leader” of the old Cubs. Chance led his Cubs to four pennants and two world series from 1906 through 1910. His Cubs set an all-time, up- to-date winning record in 1906. The Cubs of Chance, the Giants of Mc- Graw and the Athletics of Connie Mack were among the greatest of all ball clubs over a period of years. It was F.P.A., also known as Franklin Pierre Adams, who sound ed the best remembered tocsin of Chance and his Cubs. After more than thirty years, where our mem ory may be vague, we recall these lines after the Cubs had slaughtered the Giants— “These are the saddest of pos sible words— Tinker to Evers to Chance. Trio of bearcats—and fleeter than birds— Tinker and Evers and Chance. Pricking forever our gonfalon bubble, Forcing a Giant to hit into a double, Words that are heavy with noth ing but trouble— Tinker to Evers to Chance.” As I recall it, Charles Dryden was the first to call Chance “The Peer less Leader.” Later on Charley shortened this title to P. L. Chance was a great fighting field manager. He was a fine first baseman, a dan gerous hitter. But above all a game, scrappy battler, fearing nothing, not even a flock of bean-balls. Gamest Players Which reminds me that the two gamest ballplayers I ever knew were Johnny Evers and Walter Mar- anville. They played together for the Boston Braves of 1914—the over looked team that whipped the fa mous Athletics four straight games. Evers was as sm art as he was game. “The Human Splinter” is a big part of our baseball history. He is now at his old home, Troy, N. Y., and if you get the chance drop him a hello. Pepper Martin was another who belonged in this class. By that I mean any one of the three men tioned would break a leg or a back or a neck to win a ball game—or even to get an extra base. Maybe you can name me a gamer ball player than Evers, Maranville or Martin. Maybe you can—but I doubt it. They were the Three Musketeers of baseball who could take it—no matter what it was—taka it and like it. Passing Marvel It is still my belief that Harry Gilmer, Alabama’s crack rifleman, is the best college passer I ever saw, including Sammy Baugh. This might be taken as a rather large order. The Alabama kid, barely 18, weighing from 158 to 160 pounds, narrow-shouldered and thin chested, is the top artist of them all. Gilmer is not only a brilliant long and short passer, accurate to the inch, but he is the only passer I ever saw who can keep nailing a target SO yards away.

He seated himself in an armchair, and Mrs. Winkle came to stand be fore him. There was a peculiar look on her face. “Wilbert,” she whis pered.- He glanced up. He didn’t under stand at first.what she wanted, but was prepared for it when he did. By this time he was getting accustomed to almost any surprise. Shyly, she slipped on to his lap, and sat there. It was a long time I Mrs. Winkle fussed and fretted over him. since she^had "done this, and she Had put on' her plumpness since the last time. Mr. Winkle found her somewhat heavy, but not disagree ably SOi ' She rested her head on his shoul der, snuggling her face against his neck, and he put one of his arms around her waist. Penelope gazed at them curiously, as if she found the scene’ not quite proper. “I didn’t mean to say anything about this,” she told him, “and I’m thinking of you as much as myself when I do. I’ve been worrying,” :she -confessed, “about trouble you might get into." "-'Trouble?” asked Mr. Winkle. “What kind of trouble?” ■ “Well,” she said, “this is the first time we’ve ever been separated. Do you realize that?;’’ • Mr. Winkle was bewildered. “I don’t see what—” “I mean,” she" explained, “that you cotfid be tired of me. I m ean- other women.” She came out with it in a rush. “You read about it every day. You might—you might . . .” Mr. Winkle was startled. He has tened to assure Amy that there was nothing for her to worry about on that score. He told her he wasn’t tired of her and that he wasn’t in terested in any other woman. She sat bolt upright on his lap. “But you don’t know,” she stated. “You don’t know yourself. You don’t know how it will be.” “How," inquired Mr. Winkle, “will it be?” He was suddenly pleased to find her jealous. “When you’ve been away from me long enough,” she elucidated, “you’ll find out.” Mr. Winkle contemplated that. At the prospect of there being some thing to what she said, he thought he had better deny it with convincing spirit. “Now you look here,” he said, “when you catch me-with an other woman, you take it up then.” “But I won’t be there to catch you!” she protested. “I won’t know a thing about it. Except,” she re flected, “I’ll be able to tell when I see you again.” Threatened with this test, Mr. Winkle accused, “All you’re doing is putting ideas in my head.” She drew back. “Why, Wilbert Winkle!” she cried angrily, and again there peeped forth the Amy of recent years. “Do you know what you’re doing? You’re placing the' blame on me for your being un faithful!” - Mr.-'Wihkle felt that, having been given his trousers back, he should retain them. It. was no time to quib ble about that or shirk it. “You wait till I am,” he retorted testily. “I’ll send you a postcard. And on it,” he said darkly, “I’ll also ask why everything you’re saying doesn’t work on your side of the fence, too." Instead of the frown between her eyes returning, and the pressing to gether of her lips, as Mr. Winkle half expected, Amy’s blue eyes sim ply went wide. Mrs. Winkle’s eyes filled wifi) tears and she flung herself at Mr. Winkle, wailing, “Oh, Wilbert, you’re going to war and you’ll come back without a leg or an arm or—or . . . and I haven’t been nice to you for a long time, not nice at all . . . and oh, Wilbert, Wilbert!” She sobbed, letting out all the shame that had been hers since the morning his notice arrived, and all the fear that she, too, had kept hid den during the last days. Now it was Mr. Winkle who held her, and patted her, and assured her. This made him feel strong and manly, and almost good about going to war. In the morning, before they drove downtown, taking Penelope with them because they felt she, too, should see him oft, Mrs. Winkle fussed and fretted over him. “You’ve got your pills?” she asked. “The big bottle we had made up for you?” Mr. Winkle patted his pocket and the pills, in their bottle, rattled. “You haven’t taken out your rub bers again?” Mr. Winkle shook his head. Mrs. Winkle contemplated, her brow furrowed for a moment, but she could think of nothing else. “I still can’t believe you’re really go ing,” she said. “Maybe I’ll be back tomorrow.” : “Oh, Wilbert, I know it isn’t the thing to say, but I hope you will be.” Anxiously, she asked, “If you aren’t, are you sure you’re going to be all right?” “I don’t see why not,” he an swered stoutly. Now that the moment of leaving was here, all he could think was: Will I ever reton? Will I ever see Maple Avenue and home again? As he drove away he looked back, to catch a last glimpse of the house. Still craning his neck when he reached the corner, he nearly col lided with a truck which wasn’t sav ing its tires, eliciting a shriek from Mrs. Winkle and a protesting yelp from Penelope. In front of the post office he got out and Mrs. Winlfie took over the wheel. She would meet him with his bag at the bus station, to which Mr. Winkle understood he was to march in a parade. Mr. Winkle negotiated the stairs to the second floor of the post office feeling a little as if he were mount ing a scaffold to his doom. When he walked down the hall and into the draft board’s room he found that most of the other men were already there. Three members of the board, In cluding the clerk and the chairman, who was clad in a blue American Legion uniform and made a very official appearance, sat before a ta ble at the front of the room. They shuffled papers with a grave air. The draftees themselves sat oq collapsible chairs and with uneasy expressions alternated between re garding each other and the men at the table. Mt. Winkle took a seat in the rear row. Some of the men, he saw, recognized him from his pic ture in the paper. A few of them gave him brief smiles or nods, tenta tive invitations to being comrades in arms. Or recognition that he was in the same boat with them. Mr. Winkle couldn’t decide which it was. More men came in and seated themselves. JackPettigrewarrived and sat gingerly on the edge of a chair; he didn’t look around. Mr. Winkle counted, to keep his mind busy, and saw that seventeen were present. All were here except one. Most of them were very young, not much more than half his age. . AU heads turned as the last of the draftees appeared. Mr. Winkle Imew Freddie TindaU from having seen him decorating the main street of the town. He was a fixture there, like one of the lamp posts or a traffic sign. He was twenty-eight, handsome, with a thin dark mustache plastered across his lip, and his clothes were too flashy. .Freddie was a prominent mem ber of the depression generation. He had come to maturity when there were no jobs to be had. Once hav ing formed the habit of not working, he made it a career at which he exceUed. It was his boast that he had never earned a nickel in his life and never would as long as his family’s money held out. Now the war had come along to interfere with the signal success he was making of his ambition. Freddie eyed the gathering with a superior air. When he agreed to come in and join the group, his eye lighted on Mr. Winkle. He slammed his suitcase on the floor, eased his frame gracefully to.a chair in the rear row and greeted Mr. Winkle, “HeUo, Pop.” : One man tittered nervously. A few smUed without conviction.. Jack Pettigrew, who just then looked around, stared. The others paid no attention. Mr. Winkle was indignant. It had been bad enough to have certain people laugh at him. But he hadn’t expected one of his fellow draftees to make fun of him. He decided that Freddie TindaU didn’t know any better and wasn’t worth bothering about. But Fred die was the instrument of something else that reaUy touched him. For the first time Mr. Winkle told him self that he wasn’t old.. The others were just young. The chairman of the draft board looked at his watch and then rose. He made a little talk, while the men aU listened attentively, except for Freddie TindaU1 who gazed in dolently out the window. The chairman explained that they had aU been chosen fairly, strictly according to the Selective Service regulations. They were being asked to do a serious thing at a serious time. He knew each would do it to the best of his abiUty. He wished them good luck. He said that the roU would now be called. Each man, at his name, was to come for ward and receive his papers and a small gotag-away kit furnished by the Women Volunteers. “A leader,” he concluded, “is be ing appointed for you, and you are required to obey him on the way to your Induction Center. The senior member among you, Mr. WUbert Winkle, wiU be your leader.” Mr. Winkle was flattered. He was glad for the responsibility. It would help take his mind off himself. Freddie TindaU leaned toward him and inquired, “How do you like be ing a big shot, Pop?” Mr. Winkle saw that he was go ing to have trouble with Freddie. The men began to go up. Mr. Winkle’s was the last name caUed. He received his kit, contained in a brown imitation leather packet. Each of the draft board members shook his hand. He was given his own papers, and then instructions about a number of other documents for the group. The clerk was read ing one of these, his warrant of au thority, when the American Legion band burst into sound outside on the street. The clerk had to raise his voice to make the rest of the warrant heard. They aU trooped down to the street. Quite a crowd had gath ered. The band, which had com pleted its first rendition, took up an other at the sight of the group of draftees. There was a scattering of Mr. Winkle was placed at their head ont in front by himself. applause from the crowd. Mr. Win kle saw that some of the people had UtUe American flags, which they waved. Those who carried suitcases piled them in the cars of the draft board members. Then the chairman lined up the selectees in a ragged forma tion, four abreast, In back of the band. Mr. Winkle was placed at their head, out in front aU by him self. He didn’t care for this distinc tion, but he couldn’t refuse it. The attention thus drawn to him, and the noise and the staring, cheering peo ple, bewildered him. They marched off behind the blar ing band, and Mr. Winkle couldn’t get over how the music sent a chiU up his spine, stirring him. It hadh’t been so long ago that he was firmly convinced m artial music was an evU thing, spurring people to war. Part of the crowd walked along with the procession, keeping pace with it. The sporadic cheering and handclapping kept up as more peo ple were passed along the route. The parade went right through a red traffic light. Mr. Winkle marched stiffly. He tried to keep in time with the mu sic, but found it difficult, and finaUy gave it up. He wondered what the other men were doing, but didn’t look back to see. - Once someone is the crowd on the sidewalk called out: “Hi, WinkleI Grind their Axu for them!” (TO B E CONTINUED) 'IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAylcHooL Lesson BY HAROLD L.

JESUS AND THE TWELVE LESSON TEXT—M atthew 10:1, 5-0: 11:1, 25-30. GOLDEN TEXT—Y e a re m y friends, if ye do whatsoever I com m and you.—John 15:14. Service for Christ has not always been as impressive and effective as it should be because it has lacked conviction and spiritual power. God did not intend it to be the weak and faltering thing that it often is, be cause of our failure to go God’s way. The sending out of the twelve had special significance, and yet it brings forth principles which have a bearing on the service of every believer in Christ. The Servants of Christ— I. Have a Divine Commission (10: I, 5-8). The twelve disciples had already been called into the Lord’s service. Now they were to be prepared for the service which was ahead. It was a time of commissioning and empowerment for service. God calls men today to serve Him. In fact, there is a very real sense in which every Christian is called to serve. Let no one try to excuse him self from that ■ responsibility and privilege. To some comes a special call to leave their accustomed daily work and launch out into a broader serv ice for Christ. When that time comes, we may go forth with the assurance that the power of a divine Saviour goes with us. The twelve disciples had some special powers which we do not have and do not need. God suits the power to the need, and that means that in every circumstance we may look to Him with assurance, and go on. One of our difficulties in dealing with such matters as spiritual power is that we interpret the things of the realm of the spirit by physical stand ards and measurements. We are so quick to say “I cannot” on the basis of our logical human reasoning, when an appreciation of the power of God which is operative on our behalf would make us say with con fidence, “I can.” But, sadly enough, having left God out of our reckon ing, we find that it is indeed true that we cannot. Serving Christ means doing so in His power, and with His grace upon us. Nothing less will do! Nothing more is needed! II.' Declare a Divine Revelation (11:1, 25-27). The messenger’s responsibility and importance are largely deter mined by the nature of the mes sage he has to convey. Particularly is that true where the message must pass through his personality and thus be proclaimed. The nations of the earth choose their most able men to be their ambassadors and grant them full power. - The glorious thing about being a messenger for God is that we carry no ordinary communication. What we have to present is far above the most important message any earth ly ambassador could possibly have to carry. We, the children and servants of God through Jesus Christ, have something direct from the throne of God. He has revealed it (v. 25), and it seemed good in His sight to give it to those who had the childlike faith to believe Him. God’s revelation is hidden from those who are wise in their own con ceits, who are too proud to come by way of humility and faith. Thank God, some of the wise and mighty of this world have been willing to become as little children and learn at the feet of Jesus. The encouraging thing about it is that the door is open to the sim plest believer to trust God, to take the revelation of God’s trflth in His word, and give it out with grace and power. III. Extend a Divine Invitation (11:28-30). “Come”—what a blessed word for the needy and sinful! They are not to be shut out by their sin, nor to be hindered by their weakness. The door is open, and the invitation is to come. Why not respond? To whom are they to come? To Jesus. There are times when men can help us, when friends or church officers ci^the pastor can give us an uplifting word of counsel and en couragement. But for salvation, for a real lifting of the burden from the shoulders of those “that labor and are heavy laden,” there is no one like Jesus. We are privileged to invite people to Jesus, knowing that if they “learn” of Him (v. 29), they will not only have their loads lifted and find rest, but will enter into a bless ed yoke, fellowship with Him in life and service. His is a wholesome or a kindly yoke. That is the meaning of “easy” in verse 30. It is not always easy to serve Christ, but being yoked with Him in a kindly fellowship of service makes the burden light. The world is full "of tired and dis couraged people. We who know Christ have the adequate answer to their need. Shall we not go in His name to present the truth to them and invite them to come to Christ?

Treasury Department Rural Bond Sales Effective Step In Postwar Planning WASHINGTON, D. C.—Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. W ickard today called on American farm ers to invest all "extra” dollars in W ar Bonds during the Sixth W ar Loan beginning November 20 as an “effective step in postwar planning” for rural America.Directing his appeal ‘T o the Farm People of America,” Secretary Wick- ard said, “the farm people of this country have an outstanding w ar rec ord."It still takes a lot of money to finance the war, even though we are winning. The single task of supplying the Pacific theater is a tremendous undertaking. Add to that the equipm ent which was needed on the invasion coast of France, the supplies that are required now to knock down the walls of Hitler’s Germany, and the total is staggering. So our Job here at hom e is by no m eans over, just as the w ar on the fighting front isn’t over. Our homefront responsibility is twofold: One is to stick to our job and do it well until total victory is won; the other is to buy W ar Bonds.“The farm people of this country have an outstanding w ar record. They have achieved a production m iracle in the face of w artim e difficulties. Their bond-buying record Is good, too, as indicated by the fact that farm ers and their families purchased m ore than one and a quarter UlUon dollars’ worth of bonds in 1943, This figures out at about 10 per cent of their net Income. ‘This Sixth W ar Loan cam paign is the biggest yet for agriculture, but never before has agriculture had so m any dollars that could be put into W ar Bonds. The record production of farm ers, coupled with favorable com modity prices, has pushed their income up to an all-time nigh IeveL The in vestm ent of those extra, inflationary dollars in W ar Bonds would be the m ost effective step in' postwar planning H ural America could take.“Stake your share In the future— share vour stake in the war.” Date Dress Helps War Bonds Sales I -I A brown crepe dress, trimmed with light blue satin, is the date dress favored by Junior members of the American Women’s Volunteer Services. The deep-tJ neckline is accented by a soft bow, the perky front peplum repeats the rounded line. The girls are planning their winter program, and sewing for themselves is an important part of it. They realize how necessary it is to save dollars for extra War Bonds —and. thisis an easy way to do it. Patterns similar to this may be obtained in your local store. ... U .S.

Treasury Department Ensemble to Save Dollars for Bonds Members of the Junior Auxiliary of the American Women’s Voluntary Services are sewing for themselves to save manpower, machinery and money—to buy more War Bonds.

The World’s Great Need Rev. Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddenite. N. C. The world’s great need is Jesus. This need stands supreme. It tow ers above the need of learning, bet ter methods in business, better me thods of farming, better social con ditions, better preachers, teachers and reformers. We realize the con dition of the world is very critical. This cannot' be truthfully denied. It is critical from the standpoint of war, bloodshed and destruction; critical from the standpoint of fin. ances as multiplied billions of dol Iars are being expended to carry on the greatest of all wars, and to carry on the dirty business of sin and wickedness along every line; critical from the standpoint of drun kenness, adnltry, immorality and a spiritual dearth. No doubt rnill- lions of people are homeless, bun. grv, almost naked, heartbroken, uneasy and distressed. Many are wandering up and down the earth seeking shelter, food, raiment, com fort, and that which will satisfy tb ir need of body, mind, soul and sdirit. This need can only be found in the Christian religion—found by accepting Christ into the heart, soul and life, and living to do His biassed will. He said long ago, 'Come uato me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” A gainH esatd, ‘‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things ohall he added unto you.” That is, all the necessary things of life shall be given unto those who seek God and His righteousness. In God, in Christ, in the blessed Holy Ghost, all need is found Our Lord came in person to this earth that He might establish a plan of redemption whereby we could be saved from all sin and wickedness which is the canse 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 Savior, God the Father, and the Holy Ghost the Comforter, put of their lives. They absolutely reverse the order that Christ gave them. Hence, war, hunger, distress, strije, ha* tred, envy, revenge, trouble, heart ache, poverty, want, misery, woe death and damnatton. O how the world needs Christ and all his won derful principals, puritv, holiness, peace, love, innocence, goodness, greatness, beauty and wonderful power! O reader, seek Him, seek Him!

Lincoln Day Dinner There has been much talk as to whether the Republicans of North Carolina will hold their annual Lin coln Day dinner in February due to the order to ban all conventions, as well as other bans at W ashing, ton. From every source we can get the information there is nothing in any of the government bans that would prevent the holding of Lin. coin Day dinners throughout the country. The North Carolina Young Re publicans and the Republican exe cutive commlltee, who for the past two or three vears have been joint ly sponsoring the annual dinners, are going to have the 1945 dinner in Winston Salem, Saturday night, Feb. 17th, with Congressman Carl T. Curtis, of Nebraska, said to be one af the most ardent defenders of the faith in Congress, as the prin cipal dinner speaker. Just because the party was de feated at the polls in November is 00 earthly reason why the dinner should not be held. Over a long period of years onlv a Republican occupied the White House. The Democrats did not give up nor lose faith. They kept battling along until they put Woodrow Wilson in the W hite House and then came another period of Republican Presi dents until the Democrats, swallow, ed up bv the New Deal party, sent Franklin D Roosevelt to rule over the destinies ot the nation. We have never before passed through such times as we have during the past 12 vears and these crises, with a coalition with the crooked under world political machines of the big cities, have kept him there. Bnt the Republican party must n. tand will not lose courage. They will keep up the fight and right now its leaders are beginniug io lay plans Jor the election of 1946 and 1948. So, the annual Lincoln Day din ner will be an annual certainty. It’s the gathering place of the great and near great in the party in this state It is the rallying point and we must never let it go down. Over 500 .North Carolina Republicans wiil gather around the banquet ta bles Satnrday night, February 17, and bear the greatness of the party extolled. They will bear of its foundation nnder the careful guid ance of Abe Lincoln and its tre mendous growth and development since that time. When we stop and consider that some 22,000 000 loyal Americans supported Thomas E. Dewev at the ballot boxes last November, there is no reason for us to wonder what is becoming of the party.

The Farmer’s Handicap It is hardlv to be wondered at that a farmers lobby is busv in W ashington tT y in g to minimize the blow to their man power threaten, ed by new draft rulings and the proposed national service law. Last year, with less help than they ever had I efore, the farmers increased their yields to the extent thnt after one fourth of their out. put went to the armed fortes and to our allies, they provided the ci. vilian population with seven per cent more food than it ever con sumed in any peacetime year. In the face of that situation they are confronted with- a demand from the government for still more pro. duction this year, while at the same time losing more of their help thru the latest man power measures. It is not tor us to sav how great a draft the armed forces must make upon this last pool of young men not In uniform, but we can offer the suggestion that agriculture is certainly one of tbe essential Indus tries, and tbe farmer cannot be ex pected to produce more and more if bis help becomes less and less It has been suggested that city people not engaged in essential work might be drafted for farm work, but the farmers, remember ing past experiences, do not want any inspt. urbanites cutting down the cotton and leaving the crab- grass. They consider any such plan no more sensible than draft ing a lawyer to practice medicine, and ask why not leave the boys on the farm and the city people in their own iobs. One solution proposed is an im mediate increase In the production of farm machinery so that the slack in band labor ran be taken no more machines. The only drawback to this plan is that the manufacture of farm machinery requires so many critical materials and so much es sential labor that every new tractor or combine may mean the lack of another tank on the front. Hence the gain to agriculture might be more than counterbalanced by tbe loss of material by the army. But, if such a plan could be wor ked out, it might in the long run be a permanent gain for the farm, er. Agriculture today is face to face with the issue of holding its own in an age of mechanized in- dnftries, and it cannot do so unless it replaces tiand labor with ma chinery wherever that is possible. Tbe crisis in this problem wilt snreiy come shortly after the war. It is probable that a large number of young men who have left the farm tor tba armv or for war in dustries will return after tbe war. but. if tbe pattern of 1919 is fol lowed, it is certain that a large proportion of them will not. Tbe short.ge of hand labor, therefore, promises to be a permanent handi cap of the farmer. If we are forced by the necessity of war to begin mechanization of agriculture before that postwar cri sis arrives, we shall be in better position to meet it when it comes. The problem is how to spare tbe critical materials and labor neces sary to manufacture this new farm machinery It is possible that by a determined crack-down on tbe wastage of man power now rife in war plants we could find tbe labor, and by an equally strong willed e. Iimination of nonessemia! civilian products we could make the ma terials available. Necessity may force ns to take that course —Char Iotte Observer.

They are using every argument and means in order to starve off a referendum Tbeir first step was passing the "gag rule” and now they are run ning thei propaganda machines twenty four bours a day. Tbe wets were wiser in tbeir day and generations than the dries for they band picked men to represent legis lature, and bad the dries voting for tbem. As we have remarked be fore, issues like that are settled in the fall and not in the spring If tbe dries send a wet man to Ra leigh to represent them they do not deserve anything other than tbev get. The only change in our friend’s thinking, as above, we would sug. gest is that it is in the Mav pri' maries when the real damage is done, not in tbe November elec. tious. It is io May that tbe wets are busy to see that “ W ET DE MOCRATS” are nominated. The liquor people know the church folks, so called drys, will vote for those “ W ET DEMOCRATS” are nominated. Tbe liquor people know the church tolks, so called drys, will vote for those “ W ET DEMOCRATS” when the voting time comes around in November.

Davie County Asked For $3300 Red Cross Fund The people of Davie County have been aaked to contribute $3300 to the American Red Cross War Fund on March I according to a state ment by Mr. J H Thompson, Red Cross War Fund Chairtnan Plans are now underway for the campaign following an area training school in Statesville last Saturday morning. The meeting was attend- ed by Mr Thompson and Chapter Chairman, Charles C. Erwin. It is the plan of the Red Cross Or- ganization to conduct a short and intensive campaign and to solicit funds on the 1st. dav of the drive. The Chairman and other leaders feel that with the cooperation of willing workers and generous oiti- zens of the County the drive will be a marked success. Last year the people of tbe Coun ty contributed verv generously and officials feel confident that tbe gifts this year will be even greater than last year. As soon as the organization has been completed a meeting will be held of all workers and local chair- men.

GRANT, Attorney THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Mln ' OffEW .1E AB SO N I ■ I M BRITISH AID IN PACIFIC Ex-Representative Norris Poulson of California, Republican, returned from London recently and refused to be quoted in the press on what he had learned there about British aid to the U. S. A. against Japan. Finally, confronted with the detail of a conversation in which he had participated, Poulson admitted that he had discussed the Pacific war with two influential members of the British parliament. “Just what sort of help can we expect from you people once Ger many is knocked out?” Poulson asked them. “Well, we’ve got an army of over 7,000,000 Indians,” one of the two Britons replied. “You can have them.” "But you know perfectly well we cannot rely on them,” Poulson said bluntly. “You’ll be lucky if they don’t fight against you; let alone fight for you against Japan.” The Britisher admitted he, too, was worried about the Indians, but added, “At any rate, there’s a large army of Australians and New Zea landers.” “In other words,” countered Poul- son, “you people here on the island are going to pull out just as soon as you can, leaving to your coloni als the responsibility for any aid we get in the Pacific." “That’s about right,” was the re ply. "We’ve had five years of war here. That’s enough.” Note—Despite congressional con cern, some high U. S. navy men are not enthusiastic about either British or Russian help against Ja pan. They feel U. S. forces can do the job themselves. Wlien the British wanted to send a naval force to cooperate with the American fleet in the Philippines, Admiral King objected and the Pres ident virtually had to overrule him. * * • BRITISH TROOPS PROTECT GREEKS For some reason the news was suppressed in the United States, but a very significant event took place in Salonika, Greece, during the trouble between the British and the EAM-ELAS Greeks. When the British ordered troops In Salonika to suppress the Greeks, the troops sided with the Greeks and refused to fire on them. The troops were a garrison of the British Indian army. The Indians threw their weight on the side of the Greek organization which bitter ly opposed the return of King George, and which Churchill claims to be communist. There was no rioting or bloodshed. The Indian troops simply cooperated with the Greeks. Simultaneously Krishna Menon, secretary of the India league, made a speech in London attended by sev eral members of the British parlia ment in which he praised the Indian troops in Salonika and said: “They go in their landlords’ cars and vote against him.” The incident is considered ex tremely important not only as it effects Greece, but as it ef fects India and the Far East. General Stilwell, when in the Burma theater, was reported by V. S. Ambassador William Phil lips as considering British-In- dian troops mercenaries who would not put their hearts into any battle as long as India was not given its independence. * • • SECOND CALVIN COOLIDGE In more ways than one, Harry Tru man is like Calvin Coolidge. He comes from the same backwoods origin. He seldom makes speeches on the senate floor. He is thrifty, remembers the days when the drug store paid him $3 a week. But more than anything else Tru man has the same brand of Coolidge political luck; The lightning hit Cal first during the Boston police strike, later when the party bosses in the smoke filled room at the Blackstone hotel wanted a good composite vice president to go with Harding. The lightning struck Truman when his investigating committee hurtled him to fame, later when the Demo cratic bosses dining at the White House decided that he was the com promise candidate to replace Henry Wallace. That is the man who has assumed the life insurance duties of vice pres ident of the United States. He will be worth watching. • • * CAPITAL CHAFF C When Allied troops entered a little Belgian town for the first time the local church warden climbed to the carillon tower of the church and the bells started to ring out “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Next came “ God Save the King” and, finally, “Swanee River.” ft John Danaher of Connecticut, who failed of reelection to the senate in November, may get back here even though he lost out to Brien McMa hon. Connecticut law requires a four-month notice before an election to replace the late Francis Ma loney can be held, and Republican Governor Ray Baldwin may name Republican Danaher to serve in the interim, with Danaher also running in the election. ft Burma engineers have coined a new word to describe jungle trails.

Also whether the estimated attendance of 90,000,000 a year is correct. My guess would be that the combined total of basketball spectators would be well beyond baseball, football, racing and boxing—but 90,000,000 is quite a collection of human beings. As a starter it might be men tioned that there are many more b asketball teams than there are base ball or football teams. It happens to be a game that E is popular in every I t state in the nation— Bk ’'•TVs Far West, Midwest, Southw est, South and East. Ned Irish h a s proved at Madison Square Garden that he can bank on an attendance ranging from 15,000 to 18,000 at every per formance. There are not so many basketball centers that can match this crowd accommodation — but there are so many hundreds of places on the map that can range from- 4,000 to 10,000—and most of these places are usually packed. For example, Indiana is dotted with towns whose basketball teams draw more to a game than the en tire population of the town the game is played in. At least that is what Indiana experts and other camp-fol lowers tell us. Basketball has never had the fchance to compete with an Army- Notre Dame crowd — a Michigan- Ohio State gathering — a Southern California-Notre Dame test — or an Army-Navy show. Many of these games would draw over 200,000 if there was only enough space in which to park the human body—lean and fat. I doubt that any basketball game, no matter under what favorable conditions, could lure in 75,000 or 100,000 people. If I am wrong, Ned Irish can correct me. But basketball isn’t played in just a few of our bigger stands. It is played in high schools and in col leges—in YMCA’s and churches, in boys’ clubs and girls’ clubs—not in hundreds, but in thousands of spots you never heard about. It isn’t a game scattered all over the map but packed all over the map. I still don’t believe the total at tendance would run up to 90,000,- 000 but maybe it does. At least this is an argument that no one can settle, give or take some 10,000,000 spectators. Faster but Gentler Basketball today is a faster and a far more skillful game than it was when I happened to play on the Vanderbilt team of some decades back. But it isn’t as rough a game as it was then. I am not referring to any man-to-mari contact. In those days the gymnasiums were rather small and they were heated by a number of radiators or other warm ing appliances around the floor. One of the main ideas then was to bend or pin your opponent over one of these smoking hot devices until the flesh began to sizzle and there was an unpleasant odor of burning skin. I still recall such games where I looked more like a zebra than a human being—where there wasn’t so much skin left upon the body and what was left hap pened to be badly scorched. Basketball has come a long way since those pioneer, uncovered wag on days when the player took quite a beating, since there were no rides against anything except murder and possibly mayhem. It is all different now. There are thousands of basket- | ball centers tbat have all the re- 1 quired room needed — that have : accommodations for spectators. I In those earlier days, basketball was largely a game intended for the swift. The swift are needed today. But I can’t recall facing any op- ponent over 6 feet 2, where today 6 feet 2 is bordering often on the mid get side. There were certainly no op ponents ranging from 6 feet 7 to 6 feet 9. . These service debaters always want to know whether or not basket ball is the fastest game. Basket- ball is faster than football or base ball—much faster—but not as fast as hockey where the players have the advantage of ice and skates. A basketball game played on ice with skates would be the all-time top for speed and all around agility. After all, skiing is the fastest sport. With out ice or snow, skates or skis, the next fastest sport is the 100 -yard dash. * • ' • Baseball Immortals It is amazing, in a way, the amount of general public interest future nominations for baseball’s Hall of Fame have brought about. The old-timers, now 60 years or over, have the feeling that their fa vorites are being overlooked by younger generations. These old- timers saw Fred Clarke manage the Pirates 40 years ago and give a great outfield exhibition at the same time. They saw him as a leader and a playing star.

RELEASE T nB STORY THUS FA R: Forty-four* year-old W ilbert Willkiev who operates a general repair shop back of bis hom e, is notified by bis draft board that he is In X*A. He break* the bad news to his donil* neering wife, Amy, and tram ps off to work without even kissing her goodby. N eighbors call the next night and shake th eir heads solem nly, and the local pa* per publishes his picture on the front page. Winkle tacks a CLOSED sign over his shop. M rs. Winkle confides her wor ries, She fears he m ight get Interested In other women, but W ilbert says she has nothing to w orry about. Winkle leads the •draft parade and they m arch off behind the band. The m artial m usic sends a chQl up his spine. CHAPTER V Mr. Winkle wasn’t sure if this was said in the right spirit He was glad Amy didn’t appear in time to hear it. He had been watching for her, and during the last of the six blocks, he saw her, hurrying along to keep up. Her face was flushed. She waved to him, and Mr. Winkle, wondering if it was the correct thing to do, waved back. ‘ After they arrived at the open-air bus station, there was a quarter of an hour of confusion whose details Mr. Winkle never remembered very well. The selectees left their for mation and searched out their re spective families. Mr. Winkle found his wife and dog. Penelope was en livened by the excitement to yap sev eral times. Mrs. Winkle said, “You looked very military.” “I’m- the leader,” he told her. The horn of the bus honked. ; Tears welled in Mrs. Winkle’s (yes. ‘T m not going to cry,” she nMEATUKH s& S w M v <&r~ trvis Things were fast getting out of band. announced. And the tears didn’t spill over but remained in her eyes when she blinked them back, fast. He and Amy looked at each other solemnly. They embraced. They held each other very close. They kissed, and kissed again, while the band played, women wept, and hand kerchiefs and flags waved. The next thing Mr. Winkle knew was that he found himself seated in the bus and the vehicle was getting under way. Looking back, he saw Mrs. Winkle holding up Penelope so that she could see him go to war. Penelope wasn’t interested, b u t looked the other way. Not all of the bus was occupied by the draft contingent. There hadn’t been enough of them to charter a vehicle for their sole use. He sat alone, not because he thought himself, as the leader, any, better than the others. Nor did he care to be aloof; he would have wel comed somebody to talk with, but. none of his charges joined him. Jaick Pettigrew sat up beside the driver. The bus stopped and several more’ people got on. One of them, was a young, blowzy blonde. Mr. Winkle watched, fascinated, as Freddie ma-; neuvered the selectee beside him out of his seat and grinned winning- Iy at the blonde. She sat beside' Freddie at once, and they began an' animated conversation. This broke the tension the draftees.- brought with them from their send- off. They laughed, and began to talk and joke, and discuss their voyage in voices just a little too loud to be natural. At noon the bus stopped at a sched uled station for lunch. Mr. Winkle herded his charges to the counter in side the glass-front roadside restau rant, where he produced the proper paper to obtain meals for them as guests of the Government. Freddie Tindall remained outside, talking to the blonde. She was catching an other bus here. He let Freddie alone until he had ordered his own meal. Thenhewent out and told Freddie, "If you want to get something to eat, you’d bet ter come in.” “Be right with you, Pop.” Mr. Winkle went back to the counter. Freddie took 'his time. He waited until the blonde’s new bus pulled in. He put her on it and then joined the others. Some of the men looked at him in admiration and envy. “What would you have done,” Freddie inquired of Mr. Winkle, “if I’d gotten on the bus with her and gone away?” Mr. Winkle regarded him severe ly. “I wouldn’t have done a thing. That would be for others. You wouljlri’t get vary far.” “You mean with the blonde?” Freddie inquired, and received his laugh. He kept up a horseplay of saying that this was as far as he wanted to go, that he’d had a nice ride, but would now go back home. When this wore thin, he introduced a new subject. - “Still proud to fight, Pop?” he inquired. Mr. .Winkle kept his temper. “We all ought to be.” “Well, I’m not,” Freddie declared. “I’m not going because I want to, and I- don’t care who knows it. I don’t want to be any darned, sol dier. Lugs, that’s all they are. They’re going to make me into a lug.” Mr. Winkle looked around. No one except the contingent from Spring- ville seemed to have heard these remarks. The men listened with interest. Some of them looked star tled. “I don’t think you ought to say such things,” Mr. Winkle advised. “Who says that, Pop? Who says I can’t say what I want?” “Well . . .” began Mr. Winkle. “Isn’t this a free country, Pop? Can’t a m&ri say what he wants? Tell me that, Pop.” ■When Mr. Winkle didn't reply, Freddie was infuriated, taking out his resentment on him as if holding Mr. Winkle personally responsible for his being drafted. “Tell me that, you old coot, and don’t act like we’re in the Army-'already.” Before Mr. Winkle, could gather his outraged senses,' Jack Pettigrew pushed through the group of men and came up to Freddie. His thin face was white with anger. “Don’t talk like that to' Mr.' Winkle,” he ordered. iIFVeddie turned on the'revolving stool to Mr. Winkle, ignoring Jack. “How about that, Pop? Should I ,talk like that to you?” .: Jack made a lunge at Freddie, who whirled, placed his hand on the boy’s chest, and shoved him back. . Jack, crying imprecations, re turned' to the fray with clenched fists. Freddie jumped up to meet him. Mr. Winkle was gripped with dis may. Things were fast getting out of hand. In fact, they were already well out of hand. The proprietor of the place was yelling, a waitress shrieked, and customers called out. Mr. Winkle' heard his own voice crying, “Now look here! Look here! Save that for the Germans! Or the Japs!” The men laughed. Jack subsided, glaring. Freddie made ironic gri maces. An armistice had been declared in the premature war. Mr. Winkle breathed wife relief. He wasn’t cer tain that he liked the responsibili ties of leadership, He counted the men carefully as they got back on the bus, making sure lFreddie was among them. His glance _ caught that of Jack, whose eyes were hot. and who said, “I’m going to get him! I’m going to get him plenty.” ' “That’s all right,” Mr. Winkle calmed him. “I appreciate your standing up for me, but you’ve done enough.” : Another, hour’s ride got them to their destinatioG, and they descend- ed.at a busy station where they were transferred to another bus. This was already half filled with soldiers-elect like themselves. “Helld, fresh meat,” one of these ■greete.d;them. From the highway, three miles out of town, the entrance to the camp was no more than a dirt side road where two armed guards stood and a sign; declared tliis to ,be a military reservation and th at' no admittance was allowed. ' Having been invited, they Vere ad mitted: rj: ' After passing through a quarter of a mile of thick woods, they came to a'great cleared space in..wHjch stood a hidden city. There were many wooden buildings, some, of them of one^tory, others of tWo stories. Dust rose from the passing of their own and other vehicles, arid from march ing feet. The bus stopped before .a building which had a sign on it saying, “In duction Checking Station." Standing up or sitting on the ground before this'were perhaps fifty more, selec tees. They stared at the newcom ers who descended from the bus. No one spoke in the atmosphere of patient waiting and weary anxiety. Mr. Winkle looked about, some what at a loss. He didn’t know what to do next. A tall, thickset Sergeant, holding a sheaf of papers in his hand, canie out of the building. He looked at the new arrivals and asked huskily, “Who’s the leader?” Mr. Winkle went forward. The Sergeant gazed down at him. Mr. Winkle saw the mouse-recognition- look come into the man’s face, the same way it showed in Amy’s. Then the Sergeant took on an expression as if to say he didn’t mean to be surprised at anything sent to him. He inquired, “Got ’em all, John?” . - JMr;., Winkle slid h^fla'd and turned ever-the- group papirS;- : This re lieved him of his command. He was a .leader no longer, but just a selectfcef like any other. Bec&tfiiTof this, and because of the mouse-look he had been given, he felt deflated and not in the least like a lion. The Sergeant went inside. Mr. Winkle waited with the others. Their eyes went frequently to the door. What smiles there were on any faces were nervous ones. The Sergeant came out again. In a foghorn voice he began calling names. It was nearly an hour, dur ing which other busses arrived, be fore the Springville men were reached. Mr. Winkle found himself in a small room passing down a line of soldier clerks sitting at desks. In place of his own papers, an infor mation card was given to him, which he was instructed to hang around his neck by the cord attached. Thus ticketed, he took his place in line down the hall, and finally into an enormous room where many men were in the process of being exam ined. Here, Mr. Winkle saw, was where his fate would be decided. He was told to drop his bag by the wall under a clothing hook, and strip. Shivering, he stood in line clad only in his socks and shoes and in formation card. It was humiliating when he compared his skinny phy sique with the more robust bodies about him. Several men glanced at him as if to say he didn’t amount to much. He began to run a gantlet of doc tors and medical assistants. Each doctor had one part of the body to examine. Mr. Winkle was accus tomed to having his family physi cian make something of a fuss over him, cajoling him, and treating him like a living, breathing, human be ing instead of a skeleton within and around which was gathered a cer tain amount of flesh and certain or gans. Now he felt like an automo bile being put together on an assem bly line in a factory. His card was taken away from him and in its place there was daubed in iodine a number on his chest. That, he was sure, was the final ignominy. He was questioned, weighed, measured, poked, tapped, and the inner workings of his struc ture listened to. He was asked to read a chart with out his glasses and with them. He regretted each letter he made out, but he couldn’t, as he had half planned, bring himself to cheat. His eyes were good enough to fight a war. Even his pulse was found suf ficiently calm after he had been set running in one place for a minute without going anywhere. Well, he reflected, he hadn’t real ly counted on any of these things to save him. It was his dyspepsia he was banking on. He was laid on a paper-covered table. His stomach was kneaded I . Mr. Winble went forward; the ser« geant gazed down at him. and he was asked, “What’s this OS your record about dyspepsia?” Mr. Winkle detailed and even boasted about his acute intestinal difficulties and the need he had for his pills. He was kneaded some more, as if he were an automobile no longer, but. a piece of dough. The doctor gave a skeptical grant, a deprecating snort, and wrote some thing on Mt. Winkle’s record sheet. Mr. Winkle, to his horror, gath ered that his dyspepsia had made little impression, that it had let him down completely. At this, as he was passed on to the next doctor, his heart beat so fast that the doctor, who applied a steth oscope to it, took it-away and actu ally looked at him, saying patiently, “I expect it from the kids, but not from you.” Mr. Winkle was abashed. He ac cused himself of behaving like • child, like Jack Pettigrew whom he saw standing tensely, on guard, with a strained, taut expression on his boy’s face. And then Mr. Winkle went through an experience he never expected to have. AU during the days leading up to this, and during the first of the ex amining process, he hoped fervently that he would be rejected. He had even prayed for it. But now he found himself hoping he would be accepted. i(TO BE CONTINUED) 1 IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY IcHooL Lesson BY HAROLD L, LUNDQUIST. D. D.Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by W estern Newspaper Union. Lesson for February 18 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. TREASURES OF THE KINGDOM • LESSON TEXT—M atthew 13:44-46; 14:13- 21. GOLDEN TEXT—E very good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and Com eth down from the F ather of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.—Jam es 1:17. Hidden treasure!—there is some thing about it that catches our imag inations and stirs our expectancy of discovering great riches. Men are constantly going on expeditions to seek out lost treasure. Others are engaged in study and research to bring out new treasures in nature or in the realm of learning or art. Why not stir up a little excite ment about the unbelievably rich treasures which are hid in Christ and in the life of faith in IDm ? It is not hidden, except to the' eye of unbelief, but it is greatly neglected and all but forgotten by many. The Scripture portions assigned for our lesson are not as well adapted to it as one could wish, but we may make good use of them. We learn here: I. The Cost of Redemption (13:44- 46). Undoubtedly the lesson committee had in mind the usual interpretation of these parables, which presents the sinner as the one seeking the treasure and giving up all that he may have Christ. While it is true that our redemp tion is worth more than anything else in all the world and that the Christian would gladly set aside (or would he?) everything for Christ’s sake, yet that does not fulfill the thought of this parable. After all, what has a sinner (whose own right eousness is described in Scripture as “filthy rags”) to sell in order to obtain redemption? And is it for sale? (See Eph. 2:8). Obviously, we here have the Sa viour with His all-seeing eye and loving heart noting in fallen human ity the pearl of great price, His own Church. He then gives up all the glory He had with the Father, comes to the earth, and even be comes sin for us that He may bring us to God. Salvation in Christ is no little thing, not something which was pur chased with gold or silver, but with the precious blood of Christ. We ought to value it highly, and be cause we are bought with such a price we ought always to glorify God (I Cor. 6:28).n. The Heart of Compassion (14: 13-16). The One who was willing to die that men might have eternal life was not unmindful of their need of His mercy and grace for their daily problems. Jesus not only died that we might have redemption from sin, but He lived (yes, and lives now!) with tender-hearted com passion toward those in need. He who is the living Bread was not willing that men should hunger for their daily bread. The disciples saw only one solution—to send them away, but Jesus said, “They need not depart.” One is fearful that the church has been all too quick about sending the needy away to some social agency or community charity, when it should have won their confidence by its compassion, and then 'wrought them to Christ. Little is much when God is in it, and by the divine touch of Jesus the multitude was fed. Could we not do far more for Christ if we would only use the little we have, with His blessing, for the help of our fellow men? III. The Miracle of Provision (14: 17-21). We pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,” and it is only as God provides it that we have it. He gives life to the seed, and multiplies it in rich harvest, and we eat, we trust, with thankful hearts. That is a miracle—so oft repeated that we have lost a bit of the wonder and glory of it. Here in the story of the feeding of the five thousand and more (v. 21) with five loaves and two fishes, we have such a mira cle of provision talcing the little and making it enough for the multitude. The Lord may not work in exactly the same way today, but do not God’s servants see Him multiply their meager store as they give it out in His name? That-Is true whether the gift be of material or spiritual things. God can and does bless those who trust Him. Letting what we have pass through the hands of Christ results in transfor mation and multiplication. Try it! Men and women are value-con scious in our day. -While money is plentiful, goods of real quality are scarce, and one must look for that which has durability and worth. The treasures which Christ offers are en during. He says, “Lay up for your selves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal” (Matt. 6:20). By contrast, “the things Satan of fers are temporary. In a few years most earthly honors and wealth must be laid aside. But the treas ures of the kingdom are treasures which God intends that we should possess forever.

Crown the Table With Unrationed Foods (See Recipes Below) Menu Makin’s Meal fixin’s are a problem these days when foods are scarce or carry a high point val ue. Today all of us are going hunt ing for foods that are within easy reach, and easy to fix. With no points to spare, no time to waste, today’s housewife perches her thinking cap neatly on her head and goes right to work. If she can’t have fancy foods—or even hearty substantial ones she’s accustomed to having, she’s going to take what’s available, stir in a dash of her ready imagi nation and come forth with some thing that will do much better than just tide the family over. The War Food administration urges her to fix fish, and since there are ways to prepare fish delectably, Our Mrs. America will do it. A scrap left over from the roast? She can disguise it so well, that even she will not know it’s made over. When you make use of these fish recipes which I’ve collected for you, you can serve good food at a point- saving: • Halibut a la King. (Serves 6 ) 2 pounds boiled halibut 6 slices toast S tablespoons fat Vs teaspoon paprika Vt cup sliced, stuffed olives 4 tablespoons flour H teaspoon sait 2 cups milk 2 egg yolks M teaspoon onion juice I teaspoon vinegar Vs teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Arrange mounds of finely flaked fish on toast and mask with the fol lowing sauce: Melt 2 table spoons of the fat and blend in flour and salt.

Make your favorite bread stuffing and sew it up in the cavity. Bake heart in tomato sauce for extra flavor. Lamb patties are delicious and make a quick easy meal. Wrap the patties with bacon and broil until browned on both sides. Halves of fresh pears may be sprinkled with cinnamon and but ter and broiled along with the patties. Veal stew is a delicious supper dish. Make with plenty of color ful vegetables riding on top of the smooth gravy and top it off with some light, fluffy dumplings. When ready to serve, stir soured cream into the thickened gravy. Pork liver is richest of all the liver in food value. It contains an excellent supply of thiamin. Lamb tongues are tender and delicious. Serve them with a dinner of baked noodles and creamed spinach.

Please send a stamped, selfaddressed envelope for your reply.Released by Western Newspaper Union, StkiE^SCREE Released by Western Newspaper Union. By VIRGINIA VALC UNIVERSAL has given us something more than a topnotch picture, in “The Sus pect”; we get food for thought right along with abundant en tertainment. A man commits two murders, and has such good reasons for doing so that you can’t bear to have him pun ished. You keep rewriting the end ing, figuring out ways of saving him. Charles Laughton gives one of the best performances of his life; EUla Raines is excellent, Molly Lamont caused men spectators to ask CHARLES LAUGHTON “■Who is she?” Robert Siodmak’s di rection couldn’t be improved upon. It’s a picture with murder but no horror, a picture with charm and beauty. No matter what movies 1945 brings, “The Suspect” will be one of the best. Bette Davis is back in Hollywood after quite an absence, to begin story conferences on her next pic ture, “Stolen Life.” The picture is set to go before the cameras early in February, with Curtis Bernhardt directing. When Martha Holliday reached Hollywood, after dancing in night clubs, she was made assistant dance director. She had to give up the job and go over to RKO to satisfy her desire to act; she’ll act and dance too in “George White’s Scan dals,” starring Joan Davis and Jack Haley. RKO likes to push promis ing newcomers along, and give them a whack at really important roles. Lauritz Melchior, who makes his screen debut in “Thrill of a Ro mance,” Metro picture starring Van Johnson and Esther Williams, has signed a new contract with the studio. The famous singer has an important singing role in “Brighton Beach.”'t! ’ 1 Shortly before the war, when the U. S. fleet was on maneuvers, Art Linkletter (“House Party,” CBS) al most broadcast a unit of the navy into a general court martial. When word came that the fleet was due in San Diego harbor, he arranged to broadcast its arrival from a mo tor launch. Fog delayed the fleet some miles away, and it anchored, but Art didn’t know that. He broad cast his script—and the Admiral, listening in, thought his orders to anchor had been disobeyed, and was ready to court martial all offenders. Art can laugh about it now. — * — Boris Karloff recently completed “The Body Snatcber” and “Isle of the Dead” for RKO, and Is booked to go right on scaring us into shivers. The studio has signed him to make three horror pictures dur ing the next two years. When Phil Kramer, NBC comedi an, tried out for his first radio show, with Edward G. Robinson in “Big Town,” Robinson stopped him and said severely, “Don’t clown, young man. Use your natural voice.” The only trouble was that Kramer was using his natural voice. He was doing all right in pictures till his vocal chords tightened up, the after effect of an illness; his comedy voice resulted. That baby on the “Eddie Cantor Show,” “Eddie Cantor Von Zell,” is a handsome chap of about 30, who’s probably the only male baby im personator on the air. His name is Billy Gray, and as a pioneer in his profession he deserves a rattle, at least. ' — * — Barry Fitzgerald played his role as Bing Crosby’s father in Para- mount’s “Duffy’s Tavern” with his hand in a cast; he broke a finger the night before he started work on the picture. That man could give a fine performance even if he had s broken neck! — * — • ODDS AND ENDS—Ellery Queen, gen (lemon sleuth of die CBS series bearing his name, has a new “Nikki,” Barbara Terrell. .,.

TrFfljwriI Deparlmunt Rnral Bond Sales Effective Step In Postwar Planning WASHINGTON, D. C.—Secretary of I Agriculture Claude B. Wickard today called on American farmers to invest all "extra” dollars in War Bonds during the Sixth War Loan beginning November 20 as an “effective step in postwar nignnit,." for rural America.Directing his appeal "To the Farm People of America,” Secretary Wick- ard said, “the farm people of this country have an outstanding war record."It still takes a lot of money to finance the war, even though we are winning. The single task o f supplying the Pacific theater is a tremendous undertaking. Add to that the equipment which was needed on the invasion coast of France, the supplies that are required now to knock down the walls of Hitler’s Germany, and the total is staggering. So our job here at home is by no means over, just as the war on the fighting front isn’t over. Our homefront responsibility is twofold: One is to stick to our job and do it well until total victory is won; the other is to buy War Bonds:"The farm people of this country 1 have an outstanding war record. They have achieved a production miracle in the face of wartime difficulties. Their bond-buying record is good, too, as in dicated by the fact that farmers and their families purchased more than one and a quarter billion dollars’ worth of bonds in 1943, Tnis figures out at about 10 per cent of their net income.‘This Sixth War Loan campaign is the biggest yet for agriculture, but never before has agriculture had so many dollars that could be put into War Bonds. The record production of farmers, coupled with favorable commodity prices, has pushed their income up to an all-time nigh level. The investment of those extra, inflationary dollars in War Bonds would be the most effective step in postwar planning Rural America could take., "Stake your share In the future— share your stake in the war.” , Serving Labor Ban Francisco was the first big city I ever saw. Young and inter ested In everything, I stopped one day to look at a' big piece of plate dess being installed In a storefront. R was the lunch hour and the work men were not busy. As they ate they drank from bottles. When the bottled were empty, they broke them. Yhe Incident gave me a dis tinct Aed:, and I never forgot it.Back In Oklahoma, 60 miles from a railroad where I had learned to walk as well as to plow, every man ufactured thing was deemed to have value. My mother literally hoarded bottles for many useful purposes. A milk bottle would have been prized In her collection. My curiosity won a battle with bashfulness and I asked the workmen why they broke the bottles, and they told me. Idea to Make Work. llITou see, buddy,” the foreman explained, “we work in glass. So do the working men who make the bottles. The more bottles we break the more work they will hove.” Later I learned that this was a tra dition of the industry, supposedly based on fellowship and loyalty to Labor. At first I was very much confused—loyalty to Labor seemed entirely right to me, destructiveness entirely wrong. Just recently, Edward T. Cheyfltz, national chairman of an important labor union, a member of the Na tional Reconversion Committee of the C.I.O., touched on the subject in as clear and sound an economic •treatise as I ever read. It ap peared in the December Issue of Fortune. He called bottle breaking a waste of labor and raw material, typical of an old fashioned and wrong attitude toward jobs and wages.For High Production. This big labor leafier said, "I know of numerous cases in prewar days where workers deliberately held down production bMause they had been made to feel Glgt this was the road to wage and employment se curity. We must educate union membership,” he continued, “to . . . practice high productivity. Cer tainly labor can not increase its own share of goods by producing less.” To sum up the whole article, Mr. Cheyfltz contends that labor and management mutt find a common ground if our nation, as now con stituted, is to survive. He said the survival of labor unions depends on the same thing. To find this com mon ground, the C.I.O. man suggests that labor and management travel the same road of maximum produc tion. Let me add, he is right. A 40-Year Record. History backs him up. High pro duction has always helped labor. In 1899 the average factory employee toiled 60 hours a week and earned only $420 a a year beaause what he produced would sell for no more than $1,030. In 1939 the average fac tory worker put ia only M hours a week, turned out $3,140 worth of merchandise and earned $1,160 a year. Good tools make the differ ence. With better equipment, the work er produces three times as much and therefore earns three times as much. The formula is still good. Greater and more efficient produc tion will make many jobs at good pay in the postwar years. It will require better equipment but this can be provided wherever employ ers and employees see eye-to-eye. Mr. Cheyfltz points to the only hope; in sight for labor or capital either.!

Is it essential to life* Does It feed and clothe mankind? Does it educate, enlighten and uplift humanity? Is it a blessing to your country? Does vour business add to the health of your fellowmen and lengthen life, or does it take from men their health and shorten life? Does your business make your fellows more moral and spiritual, or does it help to make them immoral and wicked, thus robbing them of spirituality and everlasting life? These questions are vital. Don’t pass them bv with a sneer, or as a joke, or lightly treat them Voti will meet them later on in life, or at death, or at the judgment. Con sider the business yon follow. It is true you may make big money at the wrong business, and men may call you successful, but it you do far more harm than good, or even curse your fellowmen and vour country, just realize that your life is absolutely a failure. Souls will meet you at the judgment bar of Almighty God lost because of your business tbat has wrecked them, or helped to. and maybe point fheir fingers at ou and ac cuse you before God. It is far more serious to purse the wrong business in life than the average man or woman thinks it is. No doubt multitudes of people follow the wrong business just for a livelibood, realizing in the mean time (bey are wasting their prec ious time, using their energy and strength all to no avail so far as good is conserned, but cursing hu manity soul and body. Many of them carry a guilty conscience and fear to meet death and God. Peo ple get big wages oftentimes bv working at the wrong job, or by following the wrong business, and help to make others rich financi ally. but what of the outcome? I' is a dreadful thing to curse one’s country, and wreck men and wom en, boys and girls, physically, men tally, morally, financially and spir itually just for the sake of a living, or for ihe purpose of making mon ey.

A sudden ending of the war may see North Carolina’s treasury trend toward higher and higher surpluses as quickly rever sed. ' But there are some • ‘first things” upon which the representatives of the General Assembly should quick ly agree to spend money, despite any forebodings relative to the Commonwealth’s huancia!l feature. And one of these is the provision of sufficient funds to provide ade quately for the care and instruc tion of the State’s mentally defi cient children, white and Negro. No normal person who saw the picture of a Forsyth County child imprisoned In a homemade cage, because, of the lack of institutional care for it as a mental deficient could fail to appeciate the serious ness of the continuing tragedy em- biaced in the failure of the State to provide proper institutionalized care and guidance for the shadow, ed lives of its abnormal children. This tragedy must not go on. Every humane instance deads against it Common decency shouts trom the housetops that a great and so-called progressive State no longer can af ford to indulge in this sin of omis sion and neglect against helpless childhood. North Carolina needs many things. It needs better care far a. dults who are mentally ill in State institutions for insane. It needs a better health program for the whole State, and especially for ru ral North Carolina. But no need is more pressing than that of the men tally handicapped children, and no program calls for more immediate action. We cannot tail these little ones. We could not look them in the eyes, now or in the fateful years to come, if we denied to them the chance tbat other children have, and con demned them to live forever is a world of nightmare and shadow. —Winstoa-Salem Journal Second Jump Movement for shortening the se paration period of two years pre paratory to divorce, which met in stant opposition when proposed in the Legislature, is based primarily on allowing some relief to soldiers and their wives who jumped into matrimony without a thought. Some weren't engaged even for an hour before they hurried off to somebody who could tie them to gether. But it’s improbable that the Leg islature will change this just to al low them to jump again into mar. riage. Maybe it would be a big ger favor to make them wait tbe full two vears and save them from another mistake. Wbat they real ly needed was a two-year waiting period before becoming yoked. A long engagement would have been beneficial in many cases, and have prevented these clamorous calls for easier divorce.—Charlotte Observer To Wives and Parents of Soldiers If you are sending The Re cord to your husband or son who is in the armed forces, please see that his subscrip tion is paid in advance.

Texas Rejects Liquor Money The liquor interests, represented by tbe (Texas) Retail Liquor Deal ers Association, had the effrontery to offer some of their ill-gotten cash to B tylor University, the Baptist instltntion in Texas, and Southern Methodist college of ,that state, thinking they would buy off the Baptists and Methodist college of that state, thinking they would bny off they and putting some $55,00° into treasuries of these two church schools. Well, tbev didn’t by a long shot. Baylor University and Southern Methcdist said ,-No” so quick it took tbe breath away from the Ii quor people. North Carolina Democrats may let liquor interests get away with giving some of tbe blood bought ABC money to supplement the pay of school teachers in certain coun ties in eastern Carolina, but no: Texas Baptist and Methodists. Baylor was offered $25 000 a check tor that amount having been sent to tbe institution In a letter to Julins Schepps, wholesale liquor dealer, who solicited members of tbe association for funds to contri butions to a recent campaign by tbe school, the board of trustees states: "As you know, Baylor Univer sity is owned and operated by the Baptist denomination of tbe state of Texas, and we have, after ma. ture consideration, concluded tbat it would be inconsistent for Bay- tor to accept this gift from tbe or. ganized liquor interests. Accord ingly, we are compelled to return here with the check which accom. panied your letter.” A few days later Southern Metb dist returned its check amounting to $30,000 But it has not been announced what the Sisters of St Paul Hospital did with the check for $10,000 sent to that institution. Tbe action bv tbe two institu tions followed issuance of a reso lution by the executive committee of the United Texas Drys stating tbat contributions from legalized Ii quor traffic to Christian institutions should be discouraged.” —£x.

Those Red Stamps Undermine Confidence No matter how much the OPA tries to jnrtify the cancellation of red (meat) stamps, there is no doubting the fact that no single ac tion yet taken has served to under mine more the public’s conhdence m the rationing system and the ration authority. There was a promise made and a promise broken. The promise made encouraged those, who bave been honest in using their stamps to save them or honest when possiblv in the hope that ultimately they might ac cumulate enough to procure food stuff beyond their reach in tbe or dinary week in the legal markets. The loss of these accumulated, or saved, stamps, came as a shock so far has been cushioned. The observable results to date in dicate that householders are not saving any more stamps. They are eitiier cashing them in for whatever is available and hoarding the mater ials, or they are cashing in their book stamps for tokens, which ap pear to be more enduring. Printed reports that there is no greater shortage in meat and other foods now than there has been for sometime past, and unofficial state* mente that the distribution faults which the OPA seeks to correct are traceable to price differentials rather than to ration practices at the con sumer’s level. have only served to add to the public's distress. It is unfair to assert that the pub lic’s anguish in this is unpatriotic, or is indefensible because those at home are still much better off than the men overseas or the people of the Allies Nations. Neither our soldiers nor our Allies stand to gain any thing by imposing unnecessary hard ships upon the pnblic. Moreover, in this particular instance, there is no griping because the standard of liv. ing has been lowered by war-occa sioned forces. In this, the public is concerned because it is being depriv ed of something that is concerned because it is ^eing deprived of some thing that it considers its property by right of possession and official promise. Moreover, it is not con vinced as yet that the war effort will be improved by tbe OPA division — Union Republican.

GRANT, Attorney THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. UHP 'EAO^ON Washington, D. C. FEAR OF COAL STRIKE Biggest problem on the labor hori zon is the definitely looming pos- siblity of a national coal strike on April I. Industry fears it, the gov- ■emment fears it, but even more, perhaps, other labor leaders fear it. They fear that bull-headed John L. Lewis, head of the miners, will precipitate a strike which will blacken the eye of the entire labor movement, further undermining public confidence in labor. “Bull jack” Lewis, as they call him, be longs neither to the AFL nor the CIO, and the executives of both are ■worried over the effect which a strike called by the miners would have on their organizations. For, they point out, the public does not discriminate between different la bor unions in time of crisis. Negotiations for a new coal con tract are scheduled to begin March I between John L. Lewis and the coal operators. This gives 30 days in which to reach an agreement. Last year, however, the negotiations started earlier, and, even so, didn’t conclude by March 31. Meanwhile, Secretary Ickes, In order to head off a mine shut down, has sent a letter both to the coal operators and John L. Lewis proposing that they continue the present wage agreem ent for another year. The coal operators are understood to be ready to agree to this pro posal. John L. Lewis’s office, however, sent a delaying reply. His secre tary wrote Ickes that Lewis was “absent from the city.” This prob ably means that Lewis is conferring ■with his mine lieutenants before he sends Ickes a final decision. * * * WHT RUSSIANS WAITED U. S. military strategists now dis close two reasons why the great Russian winter offensive was de layed. The first problem was one of sup plies. Although the red army had the bulk of the equipment it needed, deliveries of several rela tively small but highly important items were delayed. One of the items they waited for was several million tons of canned beef which midwestem packing firms have been producing since Russia entered the war. Red army front-line troops live al most entirely on this canned beef during offensives. The packers knew they had a deadline to make on their order, but couldn’t get enough manpower to do the job. As the days rolled by, even office work ers were drafted to the pro duction line. However, the shipment wasn’t ready until weeks after the date set by the Russians. The same was true of several other impor tant products. In the end, the Brit ish dipped into their own stockpiles in England, and shipped the neces sary material to fully equip the Red army. Finally, when the great of fensive was about to start in Mid-December, an unseasonable thaw set in on the eastern front, hogging down the Red arm y equipment. The Russians had massed tremendous new Stalin tanks, larger than any thing either the Germans or the other Allies have seen. These could not he moved except over frozen terrain. When the front froze solid again, Stalin gave the word and the long-delayed win ter offensive began.... BRITISH PROPOSE KEEPING HIROIHTO Very little appeared in the papers about it, but highly important poli cies regarding future relations with Japan were discussed at the recent institute of Pacific relations at Hot Springs, Va. Most important of all was a proposal by the British to retain Emperor Hirohito and the Japanese ruling class in the post war setup of Japan. Sir Paul Butler, leading adviser to the British foreign office, led the appeal for Hirohito. Behind closed doors at the swank Homestead hotel, Butler made this blunt pronouncement: “No alterna tive to a monarchial system, under the present emperor or some other member of his family, is likely to provide the fouus of stability which will be essential if the state is not to dissolve into chaos in the impend ing crisis.” Other United Nations delegates also were vigorously opposed to the British policy of appeasing the emperor. Most significant of all was the position of the British domin ions—Canada, Australia and New Zealand—which split with the dele gation from the British Isles itself ...

But at first he got many a cold shoulder from Italians before somebody tipped him off to change the form of the proc lamations he issued as military commissioner in Rome.

N-U-RELEASE THE STORT THUS FAR: Forty-four- year-old WUbert Winkle, who operate, a general repair shop back ot hi, home, Il notified by his draft board that he Ii In 1-A. He break, the bad news to his dom ineering wife, Amy, and tramp, off to work Wlthont klssln, her goodby.

Wlnlde tells Wilbert the Is worried that he may take up with other women but he tell, her She has nothing to worry about. Mr. Winkle takes the lead In the draft parade and on arriving In camp Il given his “physical." He Is ashamed of his Iklnny physique. CHAPTER VI At the desk of the Chief Medical Examiner, he was informed, casu ally, that he had been accepted for General Military Service. It was a little difficult to realize it. He was dazed. He felt that his dyspepsia had been insulted. He still suffered from chronic indiges tion no matter how lightly it was regarded. All except three of the Springville contingent were accepted. Freddie and Jack were among the successful ones — or unsuccessful — whichever way you looked at it, a matter de pending on how far your patriotism went. After retrieving their clothes and hiding their nakedness, they were marched outside. Lined up in the open, they took the oath of enlist- Mr. Winkle saw what his future bedroom was like. ment. Mr. Winkle felt very solemn about swearing to bear true faith and allegiance to this country. In the clothing depot they were turned over to a little Sergeant no larger than Mr. Winkle. He had a wizened face and a great many serv ice stripes on his sleeve. In a dry good-humored voice he instructed them to change into something more appropriate to their surroundings and new standing. ' Sergeant Czeideskrowski took them, with more new soldiers from other contingents, to a receiving bar racks in the ,Reception Center. Here they would stay for several days, and here Mr. Winkle saw what his future bedroom was like. He was appalled. Not that the quarters weren’t good. Indeed, they were better than those any ’other Army in the world could boast. Evoi in his somewhat depressed state Mr. Winkle ate more than he usually did at home, which he knew would n6t. please Amy. He didn’t mention anything about this when the Alphabet, in motherlike fashion, saw'to it that they filled out post cards to their families announcing the good news of their being in the Army.' Finally, for that day, came in struction in bed making. After an hour of experimenting, during which most of them believed he could make his bed perfectly in the dark, Ser geant Czeideskrowski observed that none of them would pass inspection, but their efforts would do for them to sleep that night. Lying in the darkness, with some of the men talking hack: and forth in whispers, Mr. Winkle felt unnat ural. He was no longer Wilbert Winkle, captain of his own sold or body. - He belonged to'an immense, fearsome, mysterious organization called the Army whose purpose was to fight other men to the death. Mr. Winkle fell in line with the other men on the company street It was barely light It was cold. AU about were tee dim outlines of buildings. A vast rustle of men and their movements and voices spread in all directions, ghostly and weird. Shivering, Mr. Winkle wondered if this could be only a bad dream. Surely he would soon awaken in his own warm bed with Amy beside him, telling him it was time to get up after a good night’s rest instead of the fifteen minutes’ nap he felt he had. Instead, he heard Sergeant Czeid- eskrowski calling his name in the reJL “H-here,” Mr. Winkle quavered. “Tindall!” “I guess I’m here,” Freddie an swered. “I’m not sure.” “Answer “here’ only,” the Alpha bet ordered. “We’U try again. TindaU!” “Here,” Freddie repUed. In a low mutter he added, “What’s left of me.” The Alphabet strode over to stand in front of Freddie. He took out a Uttle black notebook from his pock et, wrote in it, and said: “Private TindaU, because it’s you, and you ain’t had the Articles .of War read to you yet, especially Ar ticle Sixty-five providing punishment for insubordination to a noncommis sioned officer—which is me—we’U just set a record for the camp. You’re getting K P duty on, your second day. . You wUl become fa mous for this.” Mr. Winkle was almost glad to see how wrong Freddie was in his attitude, and how painful this was going to make it for him. Then he felt guilty at having such an un worthy sentiment. “Pettigrew!” Teeth chattered. Between clicks, Jack caUed that he was present. Mr. Winkle had a sense of float ing through the rest of that day. He remained in a daze from the shock of entering the Army. He supposed it was the same with the other men, but he didn’t notice them very much. At the dispensary Mr. Winkle was inoculated for so many things that he couldn’t keep track of them aU. The faintness induced by being pricked on one arm was counter acted by being pricked on the other arm immediately afterward. He en joyed only one of the examinations. That was the Mechanical Aptitude Test. He was happy to wade right through this, answering nearly ev ery question with ease and certain ty, while others scratched their heads. In the afternoon, when they were given individual interviews, he hoped to learn what might be done with him. The interviewer drew him out about the work he had done in civil life. He showed a mild interest in Mr. Winkle’s his tory as an accountant, but mostly he asked Mr. Winkle to talk about himself as a repairer of anything and the fact that he had his own shop. “I think we’ll have a place for you,” he said, quite as if Mr. Winkle only now had been accepted for the position, and hired. The late afternoon was given to them to' do as they pleased—within the confines of their barracks. That is, all except Freddie. An emis sary of Sergeant Czeideskrowski, in the form of a Corporal, arrived to instruct Freddie to get into his fa tigue denim and follow him. “We’re going bubble dancing,” the Corporal said. Freddie, snorting and grumbling, decided to agree. Jack was with two of the younger men, boys like himself. Solemnly they thumbed through their copies of The Soldier’s Handbook, reading the instructions about what was, for most of them of their age, their first job. Mr. Winkle looked about for com panionship of his own. A few men looked as if they might be old enough for him, but he couldn’t be sure. One of teem passed by his cot, and Mr. Winkle, catching- his glance, and for lack of anything else to say on the spur of the moment observed: “Well, here we are.” “Hah?” the man asked, staring blankly. Mr. Winkle didn’t pursue it, and the man passed on. He realized just what an outsider he was going to be. He wrote a let ter to Amy. He informed her that his bag would arrive home by ex press collect; it contained his rub bers, which she had better give to the scrap rubber drive. He instruct ed her to tell the Pettigrews that Jack was getting along fine—right now he was having a roughhouse with another boy. He assured Amy that he was all right. He just felt a little funny in his new life. Sitting there alone on his cot, Mr. Winkle reflected that he felt more than a little funny. There was an additional thing con nected with what was going on, which he couldn’t exactly analyze or express. It was connected in some way with tee broad, general struc ture of the state of human affairs. It went beyond the possibility that man was a warring animal in spite of all his civilized refinements. Nei ther was it to be found in the con current theory teat at certain inter vals man needed to make war in or der to pull himself down to his nat ural level, which he had made the mistake of exceeding. Perhaps, thought Mr. Winkle, what he felt was contained in the fact that man had a will to die as well as a' will to live, and that the present war was merely a grand expression of this. The world was bent on a mass suicide-pact, whose impulses would be spent’ only when'millions had done away with themselves by tee oblique, methods employed. Yet not ,even in that did he dis cover an explanation of the thing he felt. It was to be found in some thing much more simple than any such objective ideas, which were perhaps a little crazy, anyway, or at least too dangerous to entertain. But he was sure there was some thing to express- the situation in which he found -himself, and that he would ultimately riin across it. He decided to be on the lookout for it. Private Tindall came in shortly after five, looking hot and not cut ting a very attractive figure in his soiled dungarees. His thin line of mustache did not seem to fit this garment at all. Several ot the men wanted to know what he had had to do. Freddie glared at them disgusted ly. "I washed floors,” he snarled. “Me!” Jack led the laugh that followed. Freddie strode over to him and without a word, drew back his fist and hit him. Jack sat down on a cot, not hurt but angry. Mt. Winkle had time to think that it was a good thing he had finished, his letter mentioning Jack before the boy rose, again to battle Fred die. From the doorway the voice of Alphabet was heard: “For fighting you’d be surprised what there is. Private Tindall. But this time we’ll make it just the garbage detail for tomorrow.” After the Alphabet had written in his notebook and gone away, Fred die promised, “I’m going to kill him. From A to Z.” “If I don’t get you first,” Jack muttered. “You,” Freddie demanded, “and what other part of the Army? You and Pop, maybe?” Mr. Winkle reflected that this was not the right outlook at all. It was hardly the true spirit of the reason they were here. . Mr. Winkle did not find a friend of his own age until he was shipped on a train to his Replacement Training Center. Camp Squibb was a thou sand miles away from home. Mr. Winkle understood that this great distance was for the purpose of get ting him away from family ties. He was no happier at this than was Freddie Tindall when it was learned that Sergeant Czeideskrow ski was to accompany and stay with them. It seemed that the Alphabet had been champing at the bit for having been put in what he re ferred to as the “desk job” of re ceiving draftees. He wanted active duty, and now he looked at it as a step toward this when he was as signed to new training troops. Camp Squibb was a great deal like their first camp, except that it was much larger, stretching for miles across the flat bare land. It was the general belief that no one knew how large it was, nor where it began and ended. It had simply uFot fighting you’d be surprised what there is, Private Tindall. . .” continued to be built until there were no boundaries at all. Men, it was said, had become lost in it and not yet found. Another rumor had it that in case of invasion the enemy was to be lured to Camp Squibb where, once caught in this trap, it would never find its way out. On the first afternoon in their new barracks, Mr. Winkle discovered Mr. Tinker. He was among those mak ing up the platoon quartered on the ground floor. Mr. Winkle eyed the thickset man with a scowl on his broad face sitting on the next cot, and saw that here was a man of his own age.They eyed each other. Mr. Win kle smiled briefly, and was given a frown. That wasn’t encouraging. Nevertheless, Mr. Winkle spoke, in* troducing himself. He gave his age, glanced around, and observed, “I guess we’re sort of two of a kind here.”“Yeah,” the other man said in a deep voice.Mr. Winkle offered the informa tion that he was a married man, His look inquired if the same situa tion held true with his acquaintance. “Naw,” the man said. There the matter rested for a mo ment, until the man suddenly an nounced his own name, which wall Tinker, and his age, forty-two. H« said he was a plumber. Mr. Winkle asked him how he feH about being in the Army.

The window lets in the maxi mum of light and you would never guess that originally it looked like a postage stamp in the middle of a blank wall. At first it seemed impossible to curtain it because fixtures could not be screwed to metal casements or the plaster. The built-in book shelves helped that. A space a foot wide was al lowed at each side of the window so that the curtains could hang over the wall, and the painted wooden pole was then screwed to the sides of the shelves. The diagram shows this and how the draw cord was knotted so that the curtains could be pulled back and forth.

JESCS, THE SON OF GOD LESSON TEXT—Matthew 16:13-17; 17:1-*.GOLDEN TEXT — Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is In heaven.—Matthew 10:32. “What think ye of Christ?" There is a question that every hu man being must answer. Jesus asked it (Matt. 22 :42 ), and each of us makes some kind of reply. It is the touchstone that tries men, and churches, organizations and movements. The answer to it is of deep importance, for it determines character, condition, and destiny for time and eternity. Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the living God, is the center of the en tire lesson. I. Jesus Confessed (16:13-17). With His crucifixion now only six months away, our Lord in prepara tion for it is about to make a more definite claim to Messiahship, and thus to establish the truth in the minds of His disciples. He therefore asks this all - important question about Himself. First, it is a general query, “Whom do men say that I am?” The answer (v. 14) indicates that the common opinion concerning Christ was a very high one. He had made an impression on the people of His time, and this has been true down through the ages. Even those who do not believe on Him admit that He was “Ihe ideal representative and guide to humanity," or the per son before whom “everyone would kneel.” But beautiful tributes to His character and leadership , are worse than meaningless unless they lead to a personal confession of Him as Lord and Saviour. The question becomes personal as He asks, “Whom do ye say that I am?" That question no one can es cape. We cannot refuse to answer. Neutrality is impossible. Whatever we do or say, or do not do or say, is a decision. Peter’s answer is really the sum and substance of Christian doctrine. He recognized Him as the Messiah, the fulfillment of all Hebrew proph ecy, and as the Son of the living God, the Redeemer and Saviour , of men, the One in whom centers all Christian faith. II. Jesus Transfigured (17:1-3). As His amazed disciples looked on, the eternal, divine glory of the Son of God could no longer be hid den by the human body and the humble garments of our Lord, and “His face did shine as the sun and Bis raiment was white as light.” They saw their beloved Master now for what He really was, the Son of God. The testimony of Peter was no longer mere words, although ever so blessed. His speech had been confirmed by sight and they knew their Master as the Lord of glory. It is essential in both the life and service of a Christian that he clearly understand the truth about Christ, His person and His work. When that understanding is tied up with a personal vision of His glory, there is assurance and power. The want of such a vision explains the lack of zeal for soul-winning, the ineffectiveness of witness, the un willingness to suffer or sacrifice for Christ’s sake. “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Prov. 29 : 18) for want of a witness concerning the Saviour. III. Jesus Triumphant (17:4 -6). The crowning point of the trans figuration came when the voice spoke out of the bright cloud and gave not only the Father’s unqual ified approval of Christ, but also His command that men should listen to Him and heed His message of re demption. Note how this, word of the Father completed the transfiguration. In itself it might have been likened to that which happened to Moses (Ex. 34 :29 , 30). We say likened to, be cause .the glory which showed forth in Jesus was from within, not just a reflected glow. But the words from heaven pro vide the conclusive and final wit ness. They so impressed Peter that he talked of Ihem as a cherished memory and a transforming power in his life, even when he was an old man (H Pet 1:16-18). How do they impress you? Are you ready to acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God, and take Him as your Saviour? IV. Jesus Only (17:7-9). Having seen Him in His glory, they now saw Him alone. True, the others had gone, but is there not also the thought that He, the blessed God, now filled the vision of their souls? Surely we find it right at hand to make that application to our own lives. When we really see Him as He is, then He fills our vision, and when He does that, we have reached real satisfaction of life. “Jesus only” is more than a mot to or a theme for a song. It is the epitome of a life worth while. It makes one want to ask everyone, “Do you know Him?” Well, do you? If not, will you take Him as your Saviour right now? Christian, will you let Him fill your life?

The war is not yet won on the food front! There is real need that men women and children all over the country again take up the rake and hoe to help produce the nation’s vegetable supply. Uncle Sam is asking for 20,000,000 better gardens this coming season. How to improve on last year’s results? Careful preparation of the soil comes first. Every time a garden plot*------------------------------------------------------ is properly spaded or plowed to the right depth, and the top soil raked fine and loose, the general condition is made more favorable for plant growth. A too-stiflf soil can be made more workable by the addition of sand or peat moss. A complete fertilizer in the proper quantity, no matter what the kind of soil, will replace in your garden the plant food used by last year’s crops. You can plan a better balanced gar den than ever before. If the family is tired o! "beans, beans, beans!” cut down the number of rows; plant more of some vegetable they can’t get enough I of. If, last year, all the radikhes were i ready for the table at the same time i(o that many of them grew old and !pithy before they could be eaten, try !■owing a short row at a time, with a week between plantings. Do the same 'with beets and carrots, greens and ',«we*t com. By a little preliminary planning, you can become a master band at progressive gardening. B you planted an unsatisfactory variety of a certain vegetable, look for one better suited to your garden con ditions. Ask your seed dealer to sug gest varieties best for home gardens in your locality. Plan- to cultivate more often than last year, not only to keep down weeds but to conserve soil moisture, espe cially in hot dry weather. It’s a smart idea to have insect spray or dust on hand early in the season to smash the pests before they take over and destroy precious plants. Be sure to thin all seedlings so that they have plenty of room to grow; root crops are especially important If artificial watering is needed during a dry spell, soak the soil for at least a foot down about once a week instead of sprinkling every day. A Victory Garden is only as good as its vegetables when used in their prime. Gather them for the table, for canning, for quick freezing, or for storing when they have reached the stage of proper size, greatest tenderness, and most de licious flavor. Raise Some Vegetables You Can’t Buy * - - ■ —Photo Courtesy Perry-Morse Seed Co. The only way you can be sure of having certain delicious vegetables for your table is to raise Uiem In your own garden. Take Swiss chard, for example. Those appetizing greens have been widely grown in Victory GanJens these war years. The reason you don’t see them in the markets is because the delicate foliage wilts quickly after picking. To enjoy Swiss chard at its best, you should+ use it shortly after cutting. The same' planting will furnish many a "mess o* greens” over a long period if only the outside stalks are cut each time, allow ing the center leaves to go on growing. (See illustration). Savoy is a type of cabbage not at all improved by being hauled from place to place . . . the crinkly brittle leaves bruise so easily. By growing a few heads in the garden, you can have this tender, delicately flavored, nearly odorless variety at its finest It takes no more exertion and care than raising plain cabbage. Chieftain is the variety which has become a universal favorite. SViends who come to dinner will ex claim over edible pod peas from your garden vines. This is a type of pea which is cooked and eaten like snap beans, pod and all, when the young peas have barely begun to form. The liking for this mouth-watering dish may have originated in France or Hol land. Folks of Dutch ancestry are the onfts most familiar with edible pod peas in our own land. Once grown in anyone’s garden, they are likely to be on the repeater list year after year. Do you know iSiat odd shaped vege< table, kohl rabi? Plant a row of it and give the family something out of the ordinary. Although related to cab bage, it is milder and more delicate in flavor. It looks like a turnip growing above ground. Kohl rabi matures quite rapidly and should be eaten when about two inches in diameter. Anybody can have common cucum ber pickles. You can add that extra touch to your list of appetizers by raising West India gherkins. The prickly little oval fruits, picked when fairly small, make unusually good sweet pickles . . . nearly impossible to get these days for love or money. 1945 Blum’s Almanacs Are Scarce Oa Account Of Paper Shortage We have a limited supply which we are giving to all those who subscribe or renew their sub scriptions for one year.

Wickard today called on American farmers to invest all “extra” dollars in War Bonds during the Sixth War Loan beginning November 20 as an “effective step in postwar planning” for rural America. Directing his appeal “To the Farm People of America,*’ Secretary Wide* ard said, “the farm people of this country have an outstanding war record. “It still takes a lot of money to finance the war, even though we are winning. The single task of supplying the Pacific theater is a tremendous undertaking. Add to that the equip* ment which was needed on the invasion coast of France, the supplies that are required now to knock down the walls of Hitler’s Germany, and the total is staggering. So our job here at home is by no means over, just as the war on the fighting front isn't over. Our homefront responsibility is twofold: One is to stick to our job and do it well until total victory is won; the other is to buy War Bonos.“The farm people of this country have an outstanding war record. They have achieved a production miracle in the face of wartime difficulties. Their bond-buying record is good, too, as indicated by the fact that farmers and their families purchased more than one and a quarter billion dollars’ worth of bonds in 1943. This figures out at about 10 per cent of their net income.'This Sixth War Loan campaign is the biggest yet for agriculture, but never before has agriculture had so. many dollars that could be put into 'w ar Bonds. The record production of farmers, coupled with favorable commodity prices, has pushed their income up to an all-time nigh level The in vestment of those extra, inflationary dollars in War Bonds would be the most effective step in postwar planning Rival America could take. “Stake your share In the future— share your stake in the war.** , LO O KING AM EAD GEORGE S. BENSON Pm U at-H ttiltf CeUtft Sttrtf. J tittitt Farmer’s Friend Two southerners sat near me In a crowded day coach recently and carried on a heated and revealing conversation. Both men were farm ers, but their similarity ended there. They were not at all alike. One seemed to be about 70 years old. He spoke with a soft “Deep South” inflection. He had attended college, was well dressed and had lived in several big cities. The other man was nearer 30, spoke with the accent of the delta country and was obviously a prac tical dirt farmer with very limited schooling. The conversation was about rice. The older man insisted that rice was not grown in Arkansas. “It would be so foolish,” he said scornfully. “So long as Asiatic la bor is cheap there will be no money in raising rice in this country.” Young Man Was Right. The old gentleman almost per suaded the young man that he had been calling something rice that was not rice at all. I didn’t intrude to say that I drive through miles of rice fields every time I make a trip from Searcy to Memphis, although I hated to see a man in possession of the truth so crushed under courteous language and ideas that have been out of date for 25 years. Workers in the Arkansas rice fields are relatively well paid, as farm hands are compensated. They earn more than cotton choppers and pickers; draw wages more like • California orange grove worker. Just the same, Arkansas rice is priced right. Our growers could ship it to Japan in normal times and sell it there at a profit in competition to Chinese rice, Coolie raised. Custom-Bnllt Economy. It sounded quite tttniliar when the cultured gentleman - farmer ex plained, “The biggest part of the cost of anything is labor.” The statement used Mbamade often and used to be almost true, but Amer ica’s volume production by machin ery has disputed the idea with suc cess for years; longer than the younger man could remember. Hie* in Arkansas, a new industry, is tooled up well. That’s exactly why our rice work ers are well paid. They produce a lot of rice per man. An American worker, with modem tools, can pro duce 50 times as much rice as a China boy with a lieavy hoe. Al lowing liberally for Mchinery ex pense, he can earn 30 tines as much as the Chinese, and does. At the same time, the rice costs less per bushel and can profitably sell for less. That’s America. Parent of Prosperity. Shorter hours and higher wages for people who wociL lower prices and better merchandise for people who buy, are universally popular ideas. The same people want all four, because working people buy' the biggest part of everything that’s sold. It is strange, however, that all four of these benefits come from the same source (investment), which is not a popular idea. Good equipment costs something. It calls for investment. With'good equipment, workers increase pro duction per man and get their pay raised, also increase production per day (or per acre) and show the investor a profit. Good equipment also increases the available supply per customer and thus lowers prices. What America needs, not to mention China, is to encourage investment.

Never have we seen a time when there was more divorcing than to day. Some time in the past there was a divorce out of eveey seven marriages, but it is likely more than that today. We Tealize that there ie something radically wrong when a man and his wife separate andrhen.get a divorce. In every case one or the orher are to blame, and usually both God’s plan in marriage is that we live together nntil death separates us, then one is free to marry again. “What Ged hath ioined together let no roan put asunder.” It is true that manv sinful peo. pie marry out of God’s will. This is a serious matter. As a conse- que-ce such marriagss oftentimes result in divorces and ee-marrUges. It means trouble, trouble, trouble. We believe that even when sinners marry they should live together. If that isn’t possible, however, it cer tainly isn’t advisable to get a di vorce and marry again. If the first marriage is a failure, and results in a divorce, the second marriage is almost always a failure. Usually there is trouble, dissention, strife and confusion between those who have been divorced and re married. It is a problem that is hard to solve. The best thing is to never get into such a tangle: However, if sin ners marry and find themselves in trouble, the best thing is to recent before God. seek His mercy, love and grace, then live together until separated by death. No doubt many parents are dissatisfied with the marriages of sheir children and set out to separate them. This is a great mistake. The best thing Is to help them, live together in peace. Another great mistake that is oftentimes mads is for a Christian to marry a sinner. Or a believer to marry an unbeliever. No doubt many a Christian life has been wrecked in this way. To marry a sinful man, if you are a Christian, means that you will have a hard time to get along in peace unless «ou win him to the Lord. And to maTrv a sinful woman, if you are a Christian, means that you will have a bard time keeping victory in your soul uuless you can win yottr wife to the Lord. Here is God’s plan for married people: ’’Nevertheless let every one of yon in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she leverence her dusband.” Epb. 5133 There should be mutual love between husband aud wife. Then life is peaceful, happy and harmon ious. No separating and divorcing in such cases as long as this is held to and carried out Amen-. Be Careful, Franklin Did President Roosevelt disre gard a law in Congress forbidding polical rewards when he sent to the U. S. Senate the nomination of Henry Wallace to be secretary of commerce and Federal loan admin istrator? That- is the question put up to the American people byDavid Lawrence, well known Washing ton newspaper man The statute referred to became Itw on August 2, 1939, when it was signed by President Roosevelt, Section 3 reads as follows; "It shall be unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, to promi-e any employment, position, work, compensation or other bene fit, provided for or made passible in wh Ie or in part by anv act of Con gress, to any pe-son as considers tion, facor, or reward for any poti- cal activity or for the support of or opposition to any candidate or poli tical party in any election.” A 1945 Blum’s AImanAc FREElo all who subscribe or renew their subscription. “Storm Signals” Farmers "are warily watching the economic weathercook for signs of a postwar depression storm,” says Ray Anderson in the Farm Journal, ‘’and they are taking lit tle stock in "political promises of succor. Very few are counting on what the government may do, or what schemes industry and labor may come up with. They are put ting their ability to get in shape now for whatever the future may have in store” This growing attitude is in a large measure the helplessness may farmers feel under the farm sub sidv programs which are ostensi bly to bold down the cost of living, but which, in reality, make the farmer depend on government as the costs of production advance, and the subsidies which the farmer must accept in lien of the true pro duction price for his crops,. re add. ed to the growning tax burden of the nation. Farmers are smart enough to know that this process is but a makeshift, and that sooner or later it will leave them high and dry, or else they will become merely farm tenants of the government with their income entiiely subject to po litical manipulation. —Ex. No New Washers Soon Newton, Iowa —Hopes of civi lians for new washers at an early date were given a rude jolt by Fred Maytag II, president of The Maytag Company, who declared that recent setbacks on the Euro pean fighting fronts had wrecked all prospects of a return to peace time production for many montds to come. His statement was in answer to a query as to how The Maytag Company’s acquisition ot a new war contract to produce several million dollars worth of aerial bomb fuses for the Oidnance Department would affect possible output of peacetime products. “So long as Maytag facilities are needed for war production, wash ing machines will wait,” be said. ’When our fighting men ask tor more ammunition, we don’t want to tell them there .isn’t enough be cause the folks back home ate too busy building washers.” Maytag said last fall when cer tain of his company's major con tracts were completed and sche dules on others were being cut back, it appeared that new wash ing machines might be available early in 1945. “All this has now changed,” he said today. “Our machine shops and assembly de partments are being tooled not for washers, but for the production of aerial bomb fuses and other new war products. O ur aluminum foundry, down to one shift I^st fall, is back on a twenty.four hour sche dule producing Rolls Rovce engine crankcases and other important aircraft parts.” Renew your subscription and get a 1945 Blum’s Al manac free.

Gregg Cherry—silences the protest often heard that there be no referendum on the liquor question in North Carolina nntil the soldiers have re turned. comments Editor Plyler in The North Carolina Christian Ad vocate. the Methodist organ in the state. The present suggestion of the Allied Church League is that at least four or six months inter vene after the cessation of hostili ties before an election is held, there bv allowing the soldiers an oppor tunity to vote on this important is. sue. There is no disposition mani fest on the part of the Allied Church League to deprive the bovs who are fighting for democracy a broad of their rights in our democ racy at home. Such a course would be to adopt the ways of the liquor crowd which has not been willing for the citizens of the state to ex ercise their rights as free men here in North Carolina. Many still are much opposed to allowing the peo ple the right to be heard, judging by the subterfuges that they em ploy. The temperance people of thi« state are ready to face the issue by direct appeal to the citizens of the stare in a vigorous crusade against enemy No j. Moreover, to defer a referendum would be to allow sufficient time for a !campaign in every section of the state from the mountains to the sea. Such a cam paign is much needed just now to arouse slumbering sentiment by an intelligent effort to disclose the fearful cost in dollars and the sore hurt to our citizens of the liquor traffic, legal and illegal. The preachers of North Caro, lina, to say nothing ot devoted lay men, can make effective this effort in every nook and corner of the commonwealth The Baptist prea chers have the ear of the people in practically every neighborhood, and the Methodist preachers are ready to join with them in this noble un dertaking. Especially so since these next four years the Methodists are enlisted in the Crusade for Christ Pray tell ns how a Methodist prea cher can enlist in such a venture and not crusade against liquor in all its forms?

Too Sleepy To Be Rescued Manila, Feb. 10.—Wheu the A- merican Sixth rangers dramatical ly wiped out the Japanese garrison at Cabanatuan prison in the earlv darkness January thirtienth and whisked the prisoners to safety they unwittingly left one English man behind. This dramatic story was told simply today by Edwin Rose ot Toronto.. Canada—the man who was left behind. Said Rose: "When somebody yelled, the A mericans are here, I thought they were here to stay so I rolled over and went back to sleep.” And that's why the elderly Eng lishman from Toronco wasn’t res* cued when the rangers made their daring raid Rose enjoyed a good night’s sleep and awoke to find himself the only living occupant of the prison. Sprawled clusters of dead Japanese and empty prison quarters told him what had happened. And with that the 65 year old forgotten prisoner washed, shaved and made himself some breakfast. He was found by some Filipinos and rushed off to a guerrilla camp. Two days later he was brought through the American lines in a Carabao sled. Reduction Of Beer Out put Is Ordered Civilians can prepare themselves to find useless beer next summer. Acting to make more malted grain available for production of indnstial alcohol, the War Food Administra tes announced that brewers will take a 7 to 12 per cent cut in malt sup plies beginning March I. Tbe reduction, coming on top of a present 7 per cent reduction in malt used bv the brewing industry, is ex* oected further to handicap the out* put of beer.

TREATMENT OF PERMAN PRISONERS Parents of boys who are prisoners of Germany get increasingly burned up at reports showing how badly they are fed by the enemy, while German prisoners in the U. S. are eating better than American civilians. German prisoners of war, many of them arrogant, insolent, and con sidered beyond political rehabilita tion, get rationed foods denied civ ilians, and in some cases receive scarce foods requiring four times the food stamps now allowed Ameri can civilians. The provost marshal, of course, is living up to the strict letter of the Geneva convention regarding prisoners, which provides that they be fed the same rations as U. S. sol diers. Thus at one Florida camp, a one- week menu recently showed that the Nazi prisoners’ ration for a single week would have required 45 meat points and 63 processed food points per man. Here is a sample of some of the meals German prison ers of war received at MacDill field, Florida. Dinner: Turkey a la king, parsley potatoes, cauliflower, celery and pickles, bread, butter, chocolate cake, coffee. At breakfast the next day they re ceived grapefruit, dry cereal, fresh milk, boiled eggs, toast, butter, jam and coffee. For luncheon they had veal steak, lyonnaise potatoes, stewed corn, fruit salad, bread, butter, pjsaches and coffee. For supper the PW’s had veal loaf, gravy, escalloped potatoes, green peas, cabbage and pineapple salad, bread, butter, cinnamon rolls and coffee. The prisoners are served butter three times a day, seven days a week. During other days of the same week they had fried pork chops, bacon and eggs, beef stew, spareribs, roast veal, veal a la king, roast beef with gravy, baked ham and baked beans with salt pork. They were also given Boston cream pie for dinner, butterscotch pudding, pineapple fritters, marble cake, fruit cobbler, mince pie, peach shortcake, and other fancy dishes. Meanwhile, American boys held by the Germans complain that were it not for Red Cross packages pro vided them by relatives they would be hungry constantly. ARMY DISCHARGES With all the pressure the army has been bringing for a work-or- fight law, no one in congress has taken time for a real investigation of the army’s own wasteful dis position of manpower. Among other things, there has been no probe of army policy regarding medical discharges. Actually, army medicos all over the country are discharging men for minor ailments which, although rendering them unfit for front-line action, don’t effect their ability to do clerical, construction, or other types of work. Last summer General Marshall also ordered discharges for men found to be developing nervous dis orders as a result of their army service. But last October, so many men were successfully faking these difficulties that a six-week freeze was called, and a much stiffer dis charge examination required. But “goldbricks” and “gripes” are still the men who most frequent ly win their discharge papers. If a man dislikes the army, is un cooperative and is determined to get a medical discharge, the attitude of his officers is usually “good rid dance.” But a good man on other than combat duty, who has a legiti mate illness which merits dis charge, finds it extremely difficult to get his release because “he’s a good man and we need men like him.”• * * CAPITAL CHAFF fl. The office of War Information so far has banned Lester Cowan’s new movie hit “Tomorrow the World” from distribution in European liber ated countries. The story shows a Nazi youngster transferred to the U. S. A. and being beaten up when he still sticks to Hitler’s idea. OWI officials say they may release the ban for France and Belgium, but will not let the film get to Germany, fl, An inside row is being waged over the reappointment of Al Woll1 son of AFL labor leader Matthew Woll, as U. S. district attorney in Chicago. Matt Woll is 100 per cent against Roosevelt and White House advisers don’t see why his son should be rewarded by FDR. How ever, Sen. Scott Lucas, friend of Jake Arvey, is pulling wires for Woll’s reappointment, fl. Behind the United AutomobiJe Workers’ nationwide referendum to continue the “no-strike” pledge, was the feeling on the part of some workers that this pledge originally was forced on them by the union bosses. Union leaders therefore wanted to give them all a chance to vote. . . . The Walter Reuther faction of the auto work ers previously favored a “no strike” pledge until the war with Germany was over, but Reuther is now supporting the all-out “no strike” pledge for the all-out effort against the Japs. General’s Troops Came Back Kings Out Freedom With the departure of Gen. Douglas MacArthnr from the Philippine theater of war, Lieut. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright was left in charge of troops in besieged Bataan. He had formerly commanded the First U. S. cavalry. His old unit led in the recapture of Manila. It is believed that General Wainwright is a prisoner in Japan or Formosa. Photo was taken while General Wainwright was in the cavalry.

I was going to join UP a n y way.” After a moment he'growled, “My kid brother was at Midway. He was a flier. Yeah, he got killed there. After the family squeezed ■every nickel for years sending him to college and on.” “Oh,” said Mr. Winkle. “Me,” Mr. Tinker went on, "all I want to do is kill me one Japr. I don’t want to shoot him. I just want to get him between these.” He pushed out two great hairy hands and clenched each into a fist. fesssssssssf “When you feel you’re three-quarters done, stop." “That’ll be for the kid. The rest I’ll get will be gravy.” Mr. Winkle wished that he had only a small part of the plumber’s lust for vengeance. “If I don’t get to the Japs,” pro posed Mr. Tinker, “and you do, will you strangle one for me?” Mr. Winkle swallowed. His throat felt dry. “Why, yes—certainly,” he promised. “Don’t go back on me,” Mr. Tink er searched Mr. Winkle with his beetling gaze. But ne didn’t give Mr. Winkle the mouse-look, In appreciation, Mr. Winkle said, ■“I won’t go back on you.” *. 7 ^ As if he weren’t quite sure Mr.. Winkle would keep to his word, or' was capable of keeping to it, Mr. Tinker pronounced, “I’m going '0 ask every guy I meet so there won’t be no mistake about it.”Mr. Winkle was envious and a lit-: tie awed. Mr. Tinker scowled. Something was bothering him. “I didn’t like all them questions they asked,” he- said. “What’s the idea of all that' stuff?”Mr. Winkle explained that it was to fit each man into work according to the best of his abilities and ex perience.“You mean,” asked Mr. Tinker, “they maybe might not make me into a shooting soldier?” Mr. Winkle said there, was a possibility of this, especially in view of Mr. Tinker’s background of being handy with tools. “Not a plumber?” Mr. Tinker asked in alarm. “I won’t be no plumber.”It was Mr. Winkle’s opinion that the Army had all its plumbing taken care of by civilian contractors. It would be in some other mechanical capacity. __ Mr. Tinker looked glum. “Then how am I going to get me a Jap?” He held up his hands and stared at them as if he were going to fail them. “I knew I shouldna told that guy I take down my jalopies and put them together again/1 “Well,” Mr. -Winkle consoled him, “it isn’t decided yet.’‘ He didn’t confess his fear that it was. He had heard the stories—and met a few exaimples—of the Army habit of learning that a man was a baker and then promptly making a truck driver out of him. Thinkilig of himself as a round peg, Mr. Win kle was sure that he would remain in the square hole of training for the infantry in which he now found him self fastened securely. Mr. Winkle was sure that his mis ery was greater than that of any of his fellows. Filled with rules and regulations, to say nothing of the Articles of War, Instruction on How and Whom to Sa lute, How to Have the Proper Atti tude, Military Obligations, The Re sponsibilities of Group Life, Mili tary Courtesy, Sanitation, Care ofj Clothing and Equipment, and The Positions of a Soldier, he was afraid to move a finger for fear the War Department would not approve.. • When the War. Department, as represented by Sergeant Czefde- skrowski, failed to approye, Mr. Win kle reported to the Mess'Sergeant. Almost always there - he found Freddie, who had virtually taken up residence in the kitchen. Jack ap peared, too, as well as Mr. Tinker. They washed dishes, sSW iept the floor and peeled onions and even the traditional potatoes. Once Mr. Win kle was given a bag and a stick with an iron point on its Slid and told to pick up papers .and cigarette butts around the grounds. He-was certain, that this was no kind of work for a respectable married • qitizen of the United States. Not even when he was doing things right could Mr. Winkle satisfy the War Department. On the exercise field he kept up with the other men,- though he knew his face was flushed and he breathed hard. Then, abrupt ly, the muscled exercise Sergeant would call: .“Hey, you there—John!” Mr. Winkle realized he was being addressed. - “What's your name?” the exer cise Sergeant demanded.“Winkle,” replied Mt. Winkle quite as if his nameplate, pinned on his chest, did not announce the fact . “All right; JoHn,”’he was advised, “when you feel you’re three-quar ters, done, Stop.- That’s an order. You know what an order is, John?” Mr. Winkle said that he did. “So I don't want to waste time pickingjup any guys who pass out,” the Sergeant instructed him. Mr. Winkle noticed that he was the only man told to take it easy. Mr. Tinker wasn’t told anything, biit kept right on'with' the others, even though he puffed. At bayonet practice he could find no satisfaction-in jabbing at the swinging stuffed figure. He simply could not conceive of himself ever thrusting that wicked blade into an other human being, no matter how much a German or a Jap deserved it. He shuddered when it was ex plained that it wasj often difficult to withdraw the blade from a body, and sometimes, it had to be twisted out. Certainly he didn’t lunge at the figure the way Jack Pettigrew did. Everyone knew that when Jack thrust his bayonet into it, he was sticking Freddie with; it. When Fred die sliced with h is’bayonet, you could take your choice whether he thought of the figure as Jack or the Alphabet. Mr. Tinker swung vicious ly, and the figure then became a Jap. But Mr. Winkle had no feroc ity at alL - The Lieutenant was patient with him, explaining, “Some day you may be in the position where you either get the other fellow first, or he gets you. Think of it that way. Now, try again. Jump at it! Lunge! Kill it!” Mr. Winkle jumped. He lunged. He killed-it with a blow that hardly penetrated the figure. The Lieuten ant shook his head and called the next man. The bayonet and exercise inci dents gave Mr. Winkle an attack of imagination, the first he had had since being made into a soldier’. He became convinced that he could nev er compete with the., others. He wouldn’t be as hardened as they, he wouldn’t be sufficiently trained, and this would be his own fault.. When the test came on the battlefield, he .\5roiq1ld not be% condition,'nairwould’ he be enough of a killer even to pro tect himself. ' saw himself in retreat before thfe' enepi^.;. He couldn’t,,keep .up. Finally' he <$uld[ go no farther.' Mr. TinlcerO and J&cfc offered’ to carry him,\ but-Mr.VWfinkle wouldn't have •it, knowing ithey woul&'fce caught with him. He macte thein go on,, leaving him,' and then an enemy soldier appekred. The man raised his rifle high) the bayonet gleaming. It started to come down into Mr. Winkle, who had a last thought of Amy and who knew that the blade would afterward have to be twisted to get it out of him . . . On their .first pay day, which was a Saturday, they were given passes to town'. They stood in line before the orderly room, and entered one by one to receive their salaries. Aft er practice under the tutelage of the Alphabet, ' who Watched critically from the side of the Lieutenant's desk, they saluted, wheeled, an4. marched out again. Mr. Winkle was astounded and Mr. Tinker,, with most of the other's, was aggrieved at the amounts they received. After deductfoii for laun dry, dry cleaning, expenses at ,the Post Exchange,’;the t(Stip|6er shop, movies;' insurance, camp newspa per, recreation tend, a < contribution to the old soldiers’ home and sev- eral-items Mr. "Winkle 'didn’t altch gether understand or remember, his envelope1 contained seventeen dol lars and thirty c.ents. Mr. Tinker did a little better be cause he had no wife to whom went twenty-two dollars of his pay, to make up, with the twenty-eight con tributed by the Government, the fifty that would be sent to the homes of married men. But still Mt. Tinker complained that he used to make more in a week than he now made in a month. • “But you 'weren’t getting ready for the Japs then,” Mr. Winkle re minded. “Yeah,” said Mt, Tinker, “that’s right.” They squandered a dime of their affluence on a bus to town. Every one not on duty was going, with the exception of Freddie. Mr. Winkle and Mr. Tinker inves tigated the town together. It was an old-fashioned community, with red brick buildings and discouraged looking stores. It had a bewildered air of having for years gone about its quiet affairs and then suddenly found itself with thousands of sol diers on its hands. After a single turn up and down the main street, Mr. Tinker ex pressed bis disgust. “Dead,” he said. “A graveyard, or almost.” From the tone of his voice Mr. Winkle detected that Mr. Tinker had seen something he hadn’t observed. He learned what this was when Mr. Tinker proposed that it was time for a beer, and led the way into a bar they had twice passed. Here there was life, especially in the form of a number of young la dies seated in booths. Mr. Tinker, at a distance, msfde friends in pantomime with two of them while he and Mr. Winkle drank their beer at the bar. Rather cau tiously, Mr. Tinker inquired of MT. Winkle if he cared to make the ac quaintance of the two young ladies. Mr. Winkle refused as gracefully as he could. “But don’t let me stop you,” he offered broad-mindedly. Mr. Tinker regarded him queru lously, as if to wonder what kind of a friend he had made. He walked over to the ladies, who received him enthusiastically. They looked after Mr. Winkle curiously when he walked out. The first time Mr. Winkle forgot to take his pills, he rushed to swal low them in order In avoid getting sick. The second time it slipped his mind he was filled with panic that three days had elapsed since he had taken them. Before he could dig down in his green-metal barracks trunk for the bottle, it occurred to him that every thing was all right. The Army life had come, perhaps not gently, but firmly, and taken his dyspepsia away from him. He no longer need ed his pills. When they had first received their rifles, he regarded his as some thing which might explode at any moment. The very touch of it made him nervous and he was glad, each afternoon, after the day’s training was over, to get rid of it by placing it in the rifle rack. In time he developed a certain familiarity with the weapon, largely because it was so much his constant companion. With some re. “Can’tw e do* anything for you?” she asked. .

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.—Matthew 6:14, is. Forgiveness is the very essence of Christianity. InChr^tianity only do we find an adequate and proper deal ing with sin, leading to forgiveness, hi Christ alone do we find that for giveness, cleansing and regenera tion. Since God has so willingly and wonderfully provided for our for giveness, it would seem that we would need no urging to make us forgiving in spirit toward one an other. Yet it is indeed “a melancholy fact that there are few Christian duties so little practiced as that of forgiveness. It is sad to see how much bitterness, unmercifulness, spite, harshness and ' unkindness there is among men” (J. C. Ryle). I. The Extent of Forgiveness (w. 21, 22). “How long do I have to stand it?” is the question of the human heart, especially if untouched by the spirit of Christ. The injustices of life, the offenses of our fellow men against us, all seem to pile up until the bur den is about to crush us. What is the answer to man’s question? The Jews had an answer. He said three times is enough. Forgive once, yes. Again, yes. But the third time, no. Peter was bighearted enough to more than double that allowance of mercy. He was willing to forgive not just two or three times, but sev en times. The spirit of Christ swept all of that aside. He said that one should forgive 70 times seven. In other words, Christian forgiveness is to be untiring, unlimited, to know no weariness and have no boundaries. If one really forgives, it is because he has a forgiving spirit, and that spirit is not exhausted by use, but rather grows by exercise.A word of caution is in order at this point. Let no one suppose that our Lord’s instruction means that offenses against the law of the land or against the good order of society are to be overlooked and condoned. It relates rather to the cultiva tion of a personal spirit of forgive ness, the laying aside of revenge, of malice, of retaliation which do not become the Christian. II. The Motive of Forgiveness (w. 23 -34 ). Two motives are given. The first is that since we ourselves are daily and hourly in need of forgiveness at the merciful hand of God, we should in turn be merciful toward those who sin against us. Compared with our offenses against the law of God, we know that the misdeeds of our neighbors against us are usually mere trifles. Remember what God has done for you, when you are tempted to be hard and ungracious with your brother. The second motive is the remem brance that a day of judgment is to come. There is always a time of reckoning ahead, even as was the case with these servants. Remem ber not only what God has done for you and is doing for you, but what you must yet expect Him to do in that day of judgment. It will make you merciful and gracious in your judgment of others. Forgiveness has a fine quality which commends itself to others. Note the sorrow of the fellow serv ants (v. 31). There is, then, a so cial value in true forgiveness. HI. The Importance of Forgive ness (v. 35). A man dealing with his fellow man is apt to think that it is merely a matter between man and man. We are not dealing with a straight line between ourselves and our brother (that was Peter’s error), but with a triangle at whose apex is God Himself. If I expect God to forgive me, I must let my forgiveness flow out to my brother. If I deal with him as though God had nothing to do with the matter, then I must not try to count God’s forgiveness into the picture when I stand indebted before Him. t God does not play favorites. He is no respecter of persons. He is as interested in the other man as He is in me. The Christian should have the same spirit. Here we need a word of explana tion. Let no one suppose that our redemption in Christ is contingent upon what we do toward our breth ren. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of your selves: it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2 :8 , 9). Nor does the truth of our lesson mean that we are somehow going to bargain with God, trading a bit of our forgiveness toward others for His forgiveness of us. God is not interested in such transactions. But it dots mean that if you can not or will not forgive, you may well consider whether you are a Christian at all, for it is Christlike to forgive.

In every nation of the world, this red eross bas long been the symbol of uni versal humanitarianism, both in peace and in time of war. Today it is worn by medical corpsmen ot all armies and navies serving the wounded. It pro tects hospital tents, ships, planes and trains. Painted on each of the Inter national Red Cross ships bearing food parcels to prisoners ot war and ex changed prisoners homeward. It is a guarantee of safety from acts of war.

AtUnut For Peace Prosperity in America is the Artt step in the direction of a lasting peace. This prosperity ought to spread, as fast as it can, to other countries. It is in America, how ever, where men have the Itey to prosperity and the United States must lead the procession to high Iiv- Ing standards through open compe tition . . . the only way to obtain a more abundant life, for ourselves or others. At first thought, some people may not agree that prosperity has any thing to do with peace. But they will convince themselves if they will think back. Troubles that built up to this present war were economic troubles. Hitler and Mussolini both climbed to power over ruin; ruined fortunes, ruined hopes, ruined lives. They got a following by promising people relief from misery.Want Is Serious. People will be patient, and con tent themselves to wait for solutions to ordinary political problems, but they will do desperate and violent things when hungry; when their families need food. Prosperity helps to maintain peace, and .(as I said in the first sentence) prosperity in America is the first step. The rea son is plain. Uncle Sam is the world’s best customer. When we think about the impor tance of the United States in world affairs, these simple figures stand out boldly: We have only 7 % of the earth’s population and yet we buy 40% of all the raw materials in the world from which manufactured goods are produced. When wheels are turning in America, markets get active to the four corners of the earth. Looking to America. When American smokestacks are warm, and American factories hum, the tin mines of Malaya get busy, the rubber plantations of Sumatra swarm with workers, and the Carib bean countries commence shipping coffee, chicle and bananas. Our prosperity is the world’s peace. But why discuss it unless we can do something about it? I hasten to say we cant Foreign lands prosper when they sell freely to America. They sell to Amerioa when jobs are plentiful and good here, when most Ameri cans have money to buy what they want. Jobs are plentiful and good, and workers prosper, when business is expanding. Bniiness expands when investors see possible returns from investments. They could see such opportunities now if they were not afraid of taxes. IJneortalnty Kills. Very few business men in the United States have any idea today that they will be able to expand in peacetime pursuits. Most of them know they can’t afford to expand if the present-day. 95% excess profits tax remains in force. It was enact ed as a war emergency measure. I do not say it ought to be re pealed at this hour. But we ought to make certain now that it will not outlive the war. Revenue measures are the hard est of all laws to repeal. Taxes rarely get smaller. But unless taxes on business get smaller after the war, investors would be insane to spend new billions for expansion. Business men want to plan peace time sales and employment now. When Congress makes a reasonable tax law to become effective with vic tory, world peace will have its first guarantee of long life. It will have to be done this year. Make Crepe Dress ' To Buy War Bonds Not much time for gift making? Choose a cap and bag set which can be made of felt for the teen-ager.

C.—Once again, next month, the scarlet emblem of the American Red Cross will appear In the windows oil American homes, symboliz ing the financial support of the nation In supporting the manifold services of that organization to American fighting men overseas. In every nation of the world, this red cross has long been the symbol of uni versal humanitarianism, both In peace and in time of war.
