Hiddeoite. N. C. Up the shining way to heaven You will travel with the few. But you’ll find that they are noble, Loving, kind and gentle, too; Walking In the steps of Jesus, Praying as they onward go. Leaving sin and worldly pleasures In the low lands down betow They will bless you as they travel, Give to you a helping hand; Help you up if you should stumble And beside vou take their stand; Praying that the God of battles May sustain you in the fight, Fill you with His grace and good ness And uphold you by His might. On this sbining way to heaven You will travel with the best, Who are fleeing from destrnction And the hell of great unrest, To a mansion bright and blessed Where there never comes a sigh, Where there is no ill nor evil, And the deople never die. You will find these saintly pilgrims Love the right and love the truth Love the aged men and women. Love the children and the youth. And desire to lead them gently In the path that Jesus trod, So that they may enter heaven And forever be with God. Theu dear traveler to the City, Do nor falter nor despair; March along with your comrades In an attitude of prayer. Soon the journey will be ended And the warfare will be o’er. Then you'll join the host celestial, Crowned a victor evermore. We wish to dedicate this poem to Mr. and Mrs. Dan Melton, of R. 2, Bostic, N. C., who are among onr faithful readers.

Hope you will travel all the shining way to heaven and we will meet up there some sweet day. And may this be trne of our dear readers everywhere. I want to meet you where every one will be “crow ned a victor evermore ” Blind Justice A critic of American business says tuat the War Labor Board must con trol Montgomery Ward or out of business, at great peril to the win ning of the war. The musicians’ union defied the War Labor Board and the President of the United States. It was re warded financially instead of pen alized, and the War Labor Board did- not go out of business. The mu sicians’ unions and Montgomery^ Ward could be wiped but and not a ripple made in the war activity. It is -difficult to understand why such procedure is countenanced in a land where all men are supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law. But the pressure increases each day for the passage of laws and their inter pretation based on class Privi lege rather than equal justice for all. — Ex. '_________ Washibgton Buried Booker T.

This 30ih day of January, 1945. S. H. CHAFFIN. Clerk of Superior Court, By B, C. BROCK. Atty. Amefica Most Awake? We are living in a day of war and bloodshed. No doubt that every borne has been toutched, or will be; because pf this war. Wbat do you think is tbe cause of this war? I sav sin “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” Rom. 3:23. Look at the filthy literature, the slop literature, the slop bucket of moral rottenness, is found ia more homes than ever. Card plaving chris. tians (?). I don’t helieve a child of God will sit at a table of so call ed bridge, trying to get first prize. Is itinot gambling covered up? Movies like a sick dog vomiting out its corruption, are reaching more ' people and damning more souls than ever. Dance halls and beer pints are thriving on Vice, sin, and degradatii n Grey headed dads and grandmas are drinking their way to hell. ''No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of God” I Cor; 6:10. My God, when are the pleasure loving people of A- merica going to wake up? Will it be before it is too late? Is it like Eze 33:31? “And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people and thev hear rhy words, |BUT THEY WILL NOT DO THEM; for with their mouth they shew mnch love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.” This is the first war that we have fought that beer, liquor, is given a free reigun, it is sold-almost every where. and is given shipping space. It looks to me if a government can make 120 million people.stop buy ing, shoes, gasoline, sugar (ration), it could stop the liqnor traffic, which is damning more souls than little. It is being sent across to our fighting boys, and there are lots of our boys, fathers, and daughters, who do not drink and they are be ing tempted with this rotten stuff “Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink -Habl 2:15. Did youeversee any more Juve nile Delinquency than now? Boys and girls are loosing their virtue characters by tbe multiplied thous ands. ’ This crime wave can be traced to beer parlors, taverns, dance halls, lewd movies, sin and crime glorified in newspapers on the screen, and in filthv magazines Lack of parental restraint in the homes is a basic cause. Today one can hardly go into a restaurant without seeing a hand painted , flapper with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of beer In the other. Their are a lot of our preachers in our land and country roday, who, need to wake up, ot get saved, and preaoh to their con- geration hell-hot: sin-black, heav en-beautiful and try to get souls saved instead of trying to get peo ple into the church, bv card sign ing, or church membership.

To others, 15c Democrata And The Mentally III Over a long period of years North Carolina has been hearing the De mocratic campaign orators tell of the great things that party has done and is doing for the Old North State. Included in these great deeds of achievement they have told of the wonderful and magnificent and mag nanimous care taken of the state’s unfortunates—the feebleminded. But the 1945 General Assemblyhas lifted the lid and found out that' all the tales told by Clyde Hoey in his sway of oratory, by Melviile Brough ton. Gregg Cherrv. J. C. B. ELring- haus, Max Gardner and many others have been pure fiction. ‘ “Deplorable and disgraceful” are the terms used by members of this Democratic Legislature who have gone in person to see how the feeble minded are cared for-by this proud old Democratic party political ma chine in State InBane at Raleigh, known as Dix Hill. And the legis lators were told by Dr. J. F. Owen who conducted tbe tour over Dix Hill that conditions at Goldsboro. Kins ton and Morganton are just as bad. These leedslators were shown dor mitories in which patients slept on beds less than 20 inches apart, crack ed walls, ceilings badly in need of re pair and sanitary facilities which some of the members declared are “indictment against the State of North Carolina.” One building which has been con demned by the Raleigh Fire Depart ment houses a number of men and women with one bath room and one toilet facility on a floor. R. M. Rothgeb, business manager of the hospital board of control, said the four institutions a t Raleigh, Kinston, Goldsboro and Morganton. are now caring for 8,500 patients; that 5 300 applications are now pend ing with the various units. 2.500 of which are registered with the Cas well Training School at Kinston, where feeble-minded boys and girls are cared for. Among other acute needs, Roth- said, were six dentists to bring the hospitals up to a standard of one to every 1,416 patients. . “We need nine physiciatric workers, 27 occu pational therapeutists. Bix assistant laboratory technicians, two recrea tional workers, three dietitians, many more hydrotherapy units, and more recreational room for the pa- tientg we now have.” he said. The entire system, he said; now has but 16 doctors to care for the 8 500 patients. In all, there are only 1,095 employees, including farm workes, laundry and powers plant workers, on the hoBitals pay roll, he added. N. E. Edgerton1 chairman of the hospitals board of control, told tbe visiting legislators that the four units needed approximately $2000,- 000 in the next biennium for better ments alone, and that if any expan sion was made to take care of addi tional patients, the figure would run to apprximately $4 ,000,000 in the next biennium. Now. keep in mind that since Gov ernor Ciarles B. Aycock presided over the state’e government, the Democrats have been in power con tinuously. No Republican adminis tration has been in power at Raieigh so tbe Democrats could lay the blame on them. This is one crime against our mentally ill men and women, boys and girls, that the Democrats cannot under any circumstances wash their hands of Had the Democratic General As sembiy, meeting every two years, done something about matter a few years ago the damages would not have piled up on them and the costs of repairs would not have soared so high. We favor going “all out” in our care for these unfortunates. Let’s do everything possible for them. But let’s do not procratinate and let the costs pile high on the taxpayers. And wben tbe next campaign roils around let the Democratic spell-binders, and the party in general answer to the people for the shameless neglect' of this portion .of our citizenry,—Union Republican, Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler. ooonoo - Two ladies carrying big wash- tub down Main street—Miss Hilda Markham making phone call—Mrs. Blanche Clement talking to friend in front of postoffice—Young farm er with bunch of tnonev trying to get into bank—Yonng girl gazing at Marine walking down highway —Two lonesome soldiers standing on street corner singing “The Yel low Rose of Texas” —Irate farmer trying to get into ration board of fice after the ninth hour—Gaither Sanford and Sam Binkley standing talking In the rain—Dewey Joyner looking for Packard anto—George Hendricks drinking morning coca, cola—Fellowsearcbing tor pocket book containing mnch fiitb / lucre and a supply of gas stamps—Smoot Shelton hurrying down Main street with bands in pockets—Miss Mild red Dull shopping In dime store— Yonng man trying to establish an all time high beer drinking contest.

ItMlllI Make Your Next Pie With Vegetables (See Recipes Below) Vegetables De Luxe Of course, the family won't eat Vegetables Uiat are cooked beyond recognition with all their delicate colors washed 'out. Do you blame them? Vegetables don’t have to look that way. Spinach can be a rich green with enough of its character left in to hold up a few of the leaves. Peas can be as green as when they are first picked, cabbage almost as crisp as when it was first picked and green beans fork-tender and well seasoned. Two rules to remember in vege table preparation are these: First, prepare your vegetable just before ready to cook. Don’t let it stand in water to have the flavor and nutriments leeched out. Second, cook only until tender and then serve at once. Another complaint that we fre quently hear about vegetables is that they lack flavor. That’s easily remedied. Coax out the natural fla vor with cooking in salted water, then taste before serving and per haps add a bit more salt, a dust ing of pepper and melted butter or bacon dripping if you like a smoky flavor 'in your vegetable. Sometimes a cream sauce will add interest to the vegetable, or per haps a cheese sauce will bring out its best points. Today’s recipes will give you the cues to making these vegetables a star attraction on your menus. Com a La King with Bacon.

Released Cr Weeteia Nenpaser Upleta Looking at HOLLYWOOD Geraldine Farrar 'TODAY’S SoUd Sams and their x stick chicks can whistle Chopin’s “Valse in A Flat” with almost as Uttle trouble as they can "Beat Me, Daddy, Eight to thenar." You can creditTfnat victory for “good music” tcfithe movies. Radio claims some of tRe credit for famil iarizing Joe and Mary PubUc with classical selections, but it really has been the sound film that has glam orized symphonies and grand operas. Time was, and not so long ago, kiddies, when any music that wasn’t hot-cha was considered “long-hair.” One sure way to lose not only your shirt but also your entire ward robe was to spon sor concerts or opera. Both had to be subsidized until the movies came along and dem onstrated that by a new show m anship Chopin, Tschai- kowsky, and the other old boys could have almost as great a mass appeal as Jerome Kern, Irving Ber- Iin and Cole Porter. Personally, I’d like to own a piece of “A Song to Remember,” the film based on the life and music of Fred eric Chopin—and Columbia can take me up on that hint any time they want to. This film, which bases its appeal on classical music, is not only a treat for the ears and eyes, but it’s packing folks into the thea ters wherever it’s shown. When Cornel Wilde is at the key board playing any of the dozen se quences, audiences are as thrilled as though they were listening to selec tions from this week’s “Hit Parade.” In handing out hosahnas, one has to be directed toward Charles Vidor, director. That Vidor boy has gone places — “Cover Girl,” “Together Again,” and “A Song to Remem ber,” all in one year! I take off my latest chapeau in salute to Harry Cohn for presenting Chopin’s music. Harry has cham pioned good music on the screen be fore and tunned it into a box office hit. Daddy of Thom All Cecil B. De MiIle reaUy is respon sible for introducing good music to the screen. It was ’way back in the silent days—1915, to be exact—that C. B. lured Geraldine Farrar away from the Metropolitan Opera com pany to appear in “Carmen.” The Bizet music accompanied “Carmen” when it was shown, and the combination was a hit. When Vitaphone introduced sound to fne screen in 1927, Warners ex- perimented with good music. Gio vanni MartineIIi dang “Vesti la Giub- ba” from “Pagliacci,” and the New York Philharmonic played the “Pil grims’ Chorus” from Wagner’s “Tannhaueser.” In 1930 MGM signed Metropolitan Thrush Grace Moore to play the Swedish Nightingale, Jenny Lind, one of the great singers of the last century. Grace sang "Casta Diva” from “Norma,” as well as selections from “The Daughter of the Regi ment.’.’ But when the film was com pleted it was publicized with no ac cent on the music. The picture toiled. Try, Try Again After Columbia hit pay dirt with "One Night of Love”' the rush start ed for musical compositions of qual ity. Lilting-voiced Lily Pons made "I Dream Too Much,” in which she sang “Caro Nome,” from “Rigolet- to,” and “The Bell Song,” from the score of “Lakme.” Nino Martini sang arias from “Pagliacci,” “Ma- non," and “Tosca” in “Here’s to Ro mance.” Lawrence Tibbett, who bad sung only semi-popular music in “The Rogue Song,” was permitted to do the operatic type of selection in Which he excels in “Metropolitan” 8nd other films. Deanna Durbin has sung arias from many famed operas. Jean nette MacDonald, with a light opera voice suited to the melodies of Vic tor Herbert and Friml, interpolated several grand opera selections in her pictures with Nelson Eddy. Univer sal brought Stokowski to the screen with a full symphony orchestra in “A Hundred Men and a Girl,” dur ing which he conducted Tschaikow- sky’s Fifth symphony and a Uszt “Hungarian Rhapsody.” Metro will soon release “Music for. Millions,” in which Iturbi conducts the fourth movement of Dvorak’s “New World” symphony, and other music in this film includes works by Debussy and Handel. Yes, the movies have made good music a pal of the average citizen. • • • Story of fWay Back When Dining with Mrs. Tommy Meighan, I learned that sister Blanche Ring was the first to hire WUl Rogers. She saw him do his rope act in Tex as and engaged him for “Wall Street GirL” He said he wouldn’t talk. Opening night on Broadway, he was such a hit she asked if he wouldn’t say something. He did; he said, “Thanks!” . . . Universal has a won derful story it wants Merle Oberon to do. It’s a Bruce Manning script called “As It Was Before.” I hear Metro offered $200,000 for It. Silk Patchwork Quilt Colorful and Quaint AN OLD - FASHIONED crazy- patch quilt aglow with color and quaint stitchery makes a deco- rative slumber throw for the sofa in today’s living room. It picks up and repeats all the room col ors and the hit-and-miss pattern harmonizes with furnishings old and new.

We wonder if Mr. Roosevelt ever paid hack tbe tnotiev the New Dealers borrowed from Lewis to pay for radio broadcasts of Mr. Roosevelt a few years ago? A man in Mountain City, Tenn., has offered a reward of $500 to any person furnishing information con cerning any local Draft Board as corrupt as the one in Mountain City Things must be warming up in the Volunteer State. AU draft boards get more or less cussings. as do the ration boards throughout the country Governor Aycock said some for. ty-odd years ago, during his cam paign for governor, that when the Republican party was in power in North Carolina, “That crime stalk ed abroad at noondav, and tbe sound of t:.e pistol was heard more often than the song of the mock ing bird.” Suppose dbas. Avcock could come back today and take a look at North Carolina after it bad been run by Democrats for more than forty years. There are more crimes committed in North Caro lina in one day now, than there were in a week when Aycock was making his campaign. An Unusual Sight Hundreds of people watched an unusual sight in Mocksville on Sat urday afternoon. A Iig Navy plane which had been undergoing repairs on the local airfield on the States ville highway, was being pulled over the highway through town by an army truck. Progress was very slow on account of the,wing spread which extended beyond the' highway, caus ing much maneuvering to get the wings'between the power and phone poles. It took several hours to get the plane through town. The plane was being taken to the Winston-Sai- em airport. Enters New Duties D. R. Stroud, who has held a position with the local ration board for the past two years or more, has accepted a position as secretary to th e Davie Cpunty Agricnitural Dr. J. Roy Hege, District Health Officer for Davie County, and the county nurses have just completed examinations of the school children in the Davie schools. Ex actly i,000 children, including 87 pre school children, were given a physical ex amination. Of the children examined 631 were vaccinated for smallpox. 96 children were Immunized for whooping cough and 69 were immunized for diphtheria. There were 72 children who had never been immunized for either whooping cough or diptberia and they were given the com bined or mixed immunization. Dr. Hege found 341 children with had tonsils and 19 with heart defects. Every effertl will be made through the schools aud tbe Healtk Department to secure the immediate correction of these delects. The physical examinations made by Dr. Hege were thorough and efficient but should be followed up by parents for the purpose of remedial and correctional meas ures It is impossible for the Health De. partment to assume the full responsibility of all health conditions. Pareats ore urg ed to follow up the findings of the Health Department and of tbe State School Demist. Teachers of the schools will assist the parents and pupils in any way to secure the immediate correction of physical de fects. It is especially important that par ents give close attention to nutrition de fects as child feeding affects the whole physical condition of the school child. Children who carry lunches to school should be provided with a well balanced Iuneh it they are expcted to do efficient work in the schools. It is hoped that a program can be car ried en in the schools to develop the mat ter of nutrition and scholastic achieve ment on the part of pupils. Pvt. Jordan Wounded. IMr. and Mrs. D. 6 .

GERMAN UNDERGROUND SEETHES According to uncensored dis patches now reaching Washington, active guerrilla warfare is flaring up on a mounting scale behind the German lines. First real indication of an active Fifth column in Germany came re cently with accurate reports of pitched battles inside Berlin, Bres lau and Bremen. This new guerrilla warfare differs from that of parti san units inside France, Yugoslavia and Greece in that few of the guer rilla troops are Germans. The bulk are Frenchmen and Russians who were captured earlier in the war and have been used as slave labor in the reich. All of these workers were carefully guarded by Himmler until recently. Most lived in big cities and worked in large in dustrial plants. In Berlin for . example, hundreds of thousands of slave laborers have been housed in fenced off temporary barracks in tbe heart of the city. But recent powerful allied air raids have created such chaos that thousands of foreign work ers escaped from their en closures and have hidden in the bomb ruins. At night, the guerrillas prowl the streets, capture Nazi sentries, steal food and ammunition, commit ex tensive sabotage. They have been joined by some German army de serters, afraid to return to the front, advices say. Once Berlin is taken it is expected that the several million slave labor ers will flare into such revolt that Germany—except in the mountain ous south—will cave like an egg* shell.... OVER-AGE SERVICEMENGreatest hardship on men in the army probably is with enlisted men over 38, now too old to become offi cers but who can’t resign as officers can. Typical case of how this hard ship works is that of Cpl. Alexander C. Sioris, age 45, who has served in the army three years, most of the time overseas. Corporal Sioris is not only a college graduate, but holds a doctor’s degree. Twice he <»as recommended for officers* training school, but each time his unit moved overseas and he had to sail with his unit. Now he is too old to be commissioned, too old for com bat, yet under present army rules must be kept on—doing menial jobs. There are thousands of similar cases. What the army needs is a good overhauling of its manpower, especially older men who have been in the army a long time. NEW MANPOWER PROGRAM War Manpower Commission Director Paul McNutt may put a new program into effect very soon in all light labor areas. This would limit employers in non- essential or less essential indus tries to a certain percentage of the number of workers they em ployed last year. This ceiling-em- ployee program has already been tried out in Chicago and proven successfid. Chicago employers In non- essential and less essential in dustries will be required to cut the number of employees on the payroll 10 per cent by March IS. SECRET RED WEAPONS The Russians are way ahead of both the United States and Great Britain in the use of rocket guns, have employed them with devas tating effect in the lightning drive through Poland, and particularly in the offensive against the Nazis in East Prussia.One new and very important weapon which Stalin unveiled in the new drive is the 100-ton tank named after himself. The Stalin tank is superior to the German royal tiger tank, and our own Sherman heavy tank. It carries a 4 .8-inch gun as against the 3-inch gun carried on our Sherman. So. long as the ground re mains hard, the Stalin tank is capa ble of resisting any but the largest point-blank German shells. On the other hand, the mobile gun on the Stalin tank can pierce most of the German secondary fortifications so far encountered by the Russians, it Is said. * * * WAR NOTES IL Germans are already trying to escape from the threatened Nazi homeland.

Tilden Plays Again '‘Big Bill” Tilden, known to tennis fans for his powerful overhead smash', goes for 'a high one as he practices for his match to be held at the 71st regiment armory, New Tork City, for the benefit of the “Gros* singer Canteen by Mail.” Baseball’s Magnate Jordan Lewis, 16, who, as owner of one share of Chicago Cubs’ stock, attended his first stockholders’ meet ing ; and gave some very definite ideaf on how to run a league dub, 9 *J 2M im AN £> { J fiO L INSOFAR' as so-called fan mail * goes, the bulk of the correspond ence we have received lately con cerns the scoring in boxing matches. Apparently there is a na tionwide interest in attempting to solve this problem, which Commis sioner Eddie Eagan of New York has tackled so intelligently. He is making progress, but there are still many tall barricades along the road. His campaign, however, has started many fans to thinking along these lines* . . For example here is one letter I think worth recording. It comes to me from Maj. Rich ard Maibaum of the U. S. army signal corps: “Dear Mr. Rice: As chief, combat films branch, signal corps photographic center, one of my duties is supervis ing the review of several hundred thousand feet of film per month shot Granllaod Rice by army combat cameramen, all over the world, much of it under battle conditions. The exposed negative, unprocessed, is sent in from the field accompanied by caption sheets in which the cam eramen describe the action they have photographed. And I am often amazed at the discrepancy between what actually appears on the film and what the cameramen in all good faith believe will be found there. W ish Fulfillment’ “I think I found the answer to Uie puzzler about scoring b’oxing matches the night a friend of mine lost a unanimous decision after a fight in which I thought he won every round. The boy was young, clean-cut, honest, stout-hearted and skillful. I had a strong personal in terest in his career. The match was crucial, a big step up if he won. _ “On the heels of the shock admin istered by the decision I indulged in a little introspection. It came down to this: how could my eyes have so completely deceived me? “Yet deceived me they had, and with my own stubborn connivance. I ‘saw’ that boy win because I wanted him to win. It was a pure case of wish-fulfillment. Actually I had fought that fight with him, identify, ing myself with his efforts, and see ing it through his eyes. Haven’t yon caught yourself ‘following’ only one of the fighters in the ring and say ing, ‘Now I'll “follow ’ the other fel low for a while?’ “When the two men touch off no special pre-fight interest, it is usually some incident during the bout that suddenly ‘fixes’ your preference upon one of the combatants. A dis play of courage, a sudden personal ity appeal, a common prejudice aroused (or overcome). “No matter how impartial we try to be, we do subjectively choose the man we want to emerge victorious. And we interpret what we see in that light. Especially in close bouts. “The bafflement is caused by the fact that the choice we make is often a subconscious one. We’re not aware that we have installed one of the men as a ‘psychic favorite,’ the one who somehow squares with a lot of preconceived notions so much a part of us we don’t even realize we have them. “I think this also applies to the officials, who may be as honest as Abe Lincoln, but who are still sub ject to the same psychological laws that govern the rest of us. : Maj. Richard Maiburn, ■ Signal Corps, U. S. army” Six-Year-OldJudges Here is a true report of at lieast a part of the picture. You and I, sitting together, see two different ac tions taking place. “I have only one solution to of fer,” the major says. “The age limit of officials should be around six years. After the scrap the kids should be asked—‘Who got licked?’ I think you’d usually get the true answer. The kids haven’t had time to sop up that ego that makes most fight fans see what they want to see, because what they want to see must be the way it is.” This is a completely correct state ment. We usually see only what, we want to see. As Hughey Keogh once wrote— “The world’s greatest liar is the man who says he can bet one way and root another.” This 'is like saying a man can stand on bis head and his feet at the same time. A contortionist can perform this feat, but he won’t be standing. He will be In a knot. How About Eyesight? Along this line I have just received a letter from Dr. M. T. Gilden, optometrist and eye specialist, in connection with boxing decisions. “Because you speak of the impor tance of eyesight and I am an op tometrist, I suggest that both judges and the referee should have ^heii eyes examined to determine their visual acuity. In plain words to de termine what their degree, of vision is, and tneit visual speed of recog. nition.” (An extremely important detail, seldom ipeationed.)

W / N K L E ' G O E S T O t V M THEODORE PRATT THE STORY THUS FAR: Forty-four- year-old EVilbert Winkle, who operates a repair «hop In the back of his home, Is POtified by his draft board that he Js In !•A. He breaks the bad news to his domineering wife, Amy, who Is quite perturbed. On arriving At camp Hr. Winkle is given his physical, and to bis great surprise and dismay, Is accept ed for the army. He takes the oath of enlistment and gets so many "shots” be cannot remember Jnst what they all are for. He Is sent to Camp Squibb, a thousand miles from home, where he meets Mr. Tinker, a man of his own age. Mr. Winkle gets KP and some bayonet practice, in which he does not do SO well. CHAPTER VIII Once more Mr. WinHe fired the machine gun. By moving it about sufficiently he managed to send sev eral bullets.where they were sup posed to go. He clung to the trig ger desperately, hoping to do well, if only by accident. The Sergeant had to yell for him to stop. “Pop,” the Alphabet told him fondly, “if it was anybody ex cept you, I’d know he was gold- bricking. In that case I’d make him into the best machine-gunner on the range. But I guess you and any kind of a gun ain’t the kind to make friends. You got to learn some more, but you’ll never learn much. W.N.U RELEASE .1LI11IJV He clung to the trigger desperate ly, hoping to do well, if only by accident. All right, Private Tindall, let’s see what the master mind can do.” Freddie sat nonchalantly at the gun. It was the first time he had followed an order with any kind of grace. He looked around. The Lieu tenant was far down the line. "You see that target?” Freddie asked Sergeant Czeideskrowski. “That’s you.” "Shoot the gun instead of your mouth,” Jack advised. Freddie glared at him. Freddie took his time at the gun. Finally he fired. Delicately he han dled die bouncing death. He sliced the up and down marks on the tar get. He sliced those running across. He cut to ribbons those marked on a slant. When he was through he asked triumphantly of the Sergeant, “How do you like yourself now?” The Alphabet regarded the target with regretful admiration. “If there was somebody else than a rat who did that,” he observed, “it would he One-A nice and I would send him a gold-engraved invitation to join the machine-gun crew I think the Lieu tenant’s going to let me make up.” The first Mr. WinHe knew of it was the sound of loud voices coming from the rear of the barracks. Run ning out with other men, he discov ered that Jack hadn’t waited to get Freddie away from camp. When Mt. WinHe rushed forward to stop it, he was caught and held by one of the huge arms of Mr. Tink er, who advised fiercely, “Let’m alone.” The battle was progressing on Pretty much of an even' basis by the time the Alphabet arrived on the scene. Afterward’, Fredtie claimed that he was swinging at Jack when he hit the Sergeant. Jack recounted the same tale when one of his blows caught the Alphabet instead, and in his case he was sincere but not appreciated by the higher authori ties. As they were led off to the Lieu tenant by Sergeant Czeideskrowski, Jack called to Mr. WinHe, “Please don’t—” “I won’t,” promised Mr. WinHe. He didn't even write home about the incident when both the warriors were given terms in the stockade. Mr. WinHe was ordered to report to the orderly room. Wondering what serious breach of military eti quette he had committed, he de parted to the accompaniment of en couraging remarks from his com rades. “It was nice knowing you, Pop.” “When you get to England, drop us a card.” The Lieutenant leaned back in his chair behind his desk and regarded him. “Getting along all right?” he asked. , , ^ 1 sir—that is, I hope so, sir.” We re satisfied ,with you in most respects, if that’s what you mean. Like the Army?” ■ Ii1- 1Xlik? it’ sir-” Mr- WinHe knew this to be the stock answer to the question. The Lieutenant seemed to know it, too, and to want a little more in formation, for he rephrased the question. “Happy in it?” Mr. WinHe hesitated. .. ‘Answer just the way you feel,” the Lieutenant instructed. “Well, I can’t say I’m happy, sir. Im not exactly a fighter, that is, with my fists, so to speak. And be ing away from my wife and . . .” “Your regular work? You miss that?” “Yes, sir. But I recognize why Pm here.” “You know the new regulations that went into effect the other day. You’re over thirty-eight and can get a discharge if you go into a war in dustry. Why haven’t you applied?” Amy had written that she would leave it up to him, and that she would be proud of him no matter what he decided. As yet he hadn’t given her a formal answer. Now he prepared it. “I’d like to stay in the Army,” he heard himself telling the Lieuten ant. “If you want me.” The Lieutenant glanced at him once, with approval. "I’m going to ask you one more question, WinHe. Thhti it over before you answer. Are you afraid?” “Don’t be ashamed of it,” the Lieutenant advised. He smiled. “If you’d told me you weren’t afraid, I would have known you weren’t speaking the truth. And I don’t mean you alone, but all the men in cluding myself. It’s a normal thing, like being nervous before making a speech. Usually you make a better speech because you’re nervous. It’s the same way with fighting. Fear makes you more aware, keener, alert—a better fighter. No soldier has ever gone1 into battle without being afraid—if he has, there was something the matter with him.” “Don’t connect my lecture,” the Lieutenant went on, “with the fact that I’m recommending you for the Motor Mechanics School. I simply feel that’s where you belong, by pre vious experience, and at your age. And you may have to fight there, or be so close to it that it’s virtually the same thing. That’s all, and good luck to you.” It was a moment before Mr. Win- He could scramble to his feet and salute. “Good luck to you, sir— that is, thank you, sir.” Mr. WinHe felt that the Army had something of a soul after all. While he didn’t exactly walk on air, which was impossible, anyway, being an Army mechanic was work he would like better than marching or shoot ing. At least it found a round hole for him to fit in more comfortably than the one he now occupied. . Mr. Tinker, on the other hand, when the reclassification notices were posted on the bulletin board and his name was listed with that of Mr. WrnHe1 was not pleased. “Me!” he complained. “I ain’t in the Army, to be any nursemaid to a jeep. It ain’t right! It ain’t right for. a minute!” “You better write to the Secretary of War about it,” advised one of his squad who was remaining an infan tryman. “You just write to him and he’ll fix it up for you.”The Messrs. YtinHe and Tinker moved in new circles. They changed to barracks ht one of the far ends of Camp Squibb, so many miles away that it might have been a different world. Their asso ciates were all mechanically inclined individuals. These spoke their lan guage better than had their previous companions, and over them all was a slightly technical aura. Their office during business hours was a large, hangar-like building. Two lines of engines, mounted on high wooden frames, were placed down its length. On these they worked', in select groups of four, with a Technical Corporal over each quartet, and a supervising .Captain miraculously clad in coveralls like their own.Mr. WinHe, who could repair any thing, here really learned about Army regulations, which presumed that he Imew nothing about a com bustion engine. They also held that there was only one way to do a specified job, the Army way, and that anything else might as well not exist.“We will now,” lectured his Cor poral instructor, “locate the trouble in this engine, which won’t run.” To illustrate, he turned on the ignition and pressed the starter with his hand. The motor turned over, but refused to start. The Corporal looked about at his four men, peering at their nameplates. “WinHe, you take it.”Mr. WinMe, who had been regard ing the engine idly, had already no ticed the trouble. “Why," he said, “the carburetor’s out of adjust ment.”He swiped briefly but expertly at the carburetor with his screw driv er, snapped on the ignition, pressed the starter, and the motor roared. * The Corporal; looking apoplectic, gestured wildly for him to shut it off. .Mr. WinMe obeyed.Indignantly, the Corporal put the carburetor out of adjustment again and then addressed Mr. WinHe se verely, a good deal put out that this little ruse had been discovered so easily. “Look,” he said, “here we work up to be Thomas A. Etison slow- like. Starting from the ground; I think you heard the Captain men tion something about procedure sheets. You got yours?” Mr. WinHe held it up. “What’s it say you do?”" ‘First,’” Mr. WinHe read, “ ‘crank engine by starter; if en gine fires but motor won’t run, pour gas in the carburetor.’ ” “Now you got the idea,” the Cor poral ordered. Mr. WinHe cranked the engine, which fired but didn’t run. He took up a can and poured gasoline in the carburetor and tried again. The en gine ran for a moment and then spluttered to a stop. Mr. WinHe glanced longingly at the carburetor adjustment and then consulted his procedure sheet once more. He learned he now knew that the seat of the trouble was the fuel system. He checked the gas sup ply, the lines and the connections. Finally he came, according to pro cedure, to the carburetor. He ,swiped with his screw driver again, and this time, when he pushed the start er, Army procedure was triumphant. When he shut off the engine, he stood back with a puzzled expression on his face. “Can I ask a question, Corporal?” “Something you don’t under stand?” “Well,” proposed Mr. Wbtile, "supposing I’m out in a stalled truck with the enemy after me. Do I go through the procedure and get cap tured, or do I adjust the carburetor and escape?” He knew by now it was heresy to make such inquiries,, but the answer to this one worried him genuinely. The Corporal regarded him with- eringly. “Maybe your skin will tell you that if you think it’s worth sav ing.”... Mr. WinHe and his friend, Mr. Tinker, were in town to celebrate their completing the'Motor Mechan ics course and having received their certificates of graduation. They stood outside the bar Mr. Tinker patronized. Mr. WinHe was about to be on his way down the street alone, as usual, leaving Mr. Tinker to the attractions within. Mr. Tinker had been wishing that he I “Getting along all right?” It asked. would join him this time; "How about it?” he inquired. “No,” Mr. WinHe replied judi ciously, "I don’t think so.” “I know you’re married and all, but that ain't any reason you can't enjoy .yourself.” Mr. WinHe shook his head. “I ain’t trying to get you to do anything you don’t want to do,” ar gued Mr. Tinker. While they stood discussing it, with Mr. Tinker making most of the com ments, they saw two soldiers com ing along the street. One was Jack, but they couldn’t believe their eyes at first when they recognized the other. They hadn’t seen Jack or Freddie since the fight. Incredible rumors, which they refused to accept, had reached them that Freddie had final ly been broken into small pieces and was being put together again in another form. Now the soldier on. Jack’s arm stood straight. He was confident, but not arrogant. And no mustache blackened his upper lip, which was shaven clean.1 Mr. Tinker was the first to speak, to Freddie. “That ain’t you, Tim dall.” Mr. WinHe Stared, perplexed, from one to the other of the young men. “It can’t be,” he said. Jack laughed. “Sure it is. He’e an Army lug now.” He nudged Fred die. - “Go on, yardbirdr speak your piece.” Freddie had been standing with his face slightly flushed, malting no comment. Now he looked sheepish for an instant before he said “I guess I owe you an apology, Mrf Winkle.” (TO BE CONTINUED) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAYI CHOOLLesson BY BABOLD L. LUNDQUIST. D.

GOLDEN TEXT—If. any man win come alter me, let Iilm deny himself, and take up bis cross, and follow me.—Matthew 16:24. What you have is not your own. In fact, if you are a Christian, both you and your possessions belong to God (see I- Cor. 6:20; 7 :23 ). To be His disciple involves the recognition of the fact that life is essentially a stewardship, holding our property and our persons Jn tnmt for Him. The cost of discipleship is i one which should be candidly faced. It is far more than the-cost of join ing a church or subscribing to a creed. That may and often does mean little or nothing, but to be a, follower of Christ calls for thinking- and living in accordance with His standards. We must— I.- Think Right About God (vv. 16, 17). The picture of this rich, intelli gent young man, a leader in his community, coming to Christ with his eager quest for eternal life is a most attractive one. He recognized Jesus as a master In Israel and a good man. His thinking about our Lord did not. go. far enough, and Jesus cor rected him at once. He pointed out that if he recognized Sfim. as good, then He must be God. Far from disclaiming divinity, Jesus declared here that everyone who thinks right about Him must agree that He is God. It is of the highest importance that the follower of Christ be clear that his master is God. Otherwise, his attitude toward Him will reflect his defective viewpoint, and his witness concerning Him will lead men astray instead of aright. Cor rect doctrine is vitally important as the foundation of real discipleship. The one who thinks right about God will— n. Live Right With Others (w . 18- JO).The commandments to which Jesus referred were those which concerned a man’s relationship to his fellow man. There is to be no violence to another person, no de ceit or trickery, no dishonoring of confidence, but an active interest and love for one’s neighbor as well as one’s family. The disciple of Christ cannot ef fectively serve Him in this world without a proper attitude toward others. He must not sin against them, that is clear; but what is more, he must be known as one who loves them. Note that this young man could honestly say that he had kept these commandments. Few of us could make such a claim, but he did. And Jesus did not question it or rebuke him. In fact, He loved him for it (see Mark 10:21). What a fine character this young man had, what limitless possibili, ties for usefulness, what promise for the future! But something was lack ing, something stood in his way. Jesus went directly to the heart of his trouble and told him that he must— IH. Act Right About Money (w. 21-26 ). Toward persons, his life was rightly related, but toward his pos sessions—ah, that was another mat ter. He was rich and his. money stood between him and God, be tween him and a life of service and spirituality. When a man has money and uses It for God’s glory and the good of his fellow man, it is a blessing to him and to others. But when money lays hold of a man, and it has him instead of bis having it, spiritual dis aster is ahead, and not far away. It is proper to be prudent, thrifty, and ambitious, but when the gath ering of wealth becomes the upper most thing, even these worthy qual ities become the enemies of a man’s soul. Note the astonishment of the dis ciples (v. 25). They, too, though they had little or nothing, had been smitten with the awe for riches. Do not miss the glorious assur ance of verse 26 . Nothing is im, .possible with God. He can even save a rich man, and does it! Now there is’more to discipleship than sacrifice. God has a recom pense for His children. Let us IV. Expect the Right Reward (v. 29 ). No one has ever lost anything by serving the Lord. He gives liberally and makes a hundredfold return for every sacrifice we make. Christian workers can testify that God has lit erally fulfilled this promise to them. But the greatest reyrard of all waits beyond the end of this earth-' Iy life. Over yonder there awaits us the prospect of eternal, fellowship with the Lord we love and serve, and with all those who share with us the place of being disciples, fol lowers, and servants of Christ. This life brings many precious moments of joy pnd satisfaction. There is friendship and comradeship In labor. There are a thousand blessings even here, but the great est of all is the prospect of being forever with the Lord.

MARCH 7.1946 KEEP YOUR RED CIuISS Through the Red Cross the American people serve the men of their Army Navy, Marins Corps and Coast Guard. Red Cross Faces Greatest Task in Fourth War Year I WASHINGTON, D. C --Pactog the ■greatest task to its history in serving American fighting men on advancing war fronts overseas, their families at home, their buddies returning to the United States after discharge, and the !American people in emergencies on the home front, the American Red Cross will launch its third War Fund cam paign March I. That the American people will re spond with overwhelming generosity to the appeal for $200,000,000 to carry on this world-wide program is already Indicated to the nation-wide determina tion to meet all its war needs and to bring the five-year struggle to an early and successful conclusion. In every invasion during the past year. Chairman Basil O’Connor of the American Red Cross said, Red Cross workers have either gone with the troops, or have followed within a very short time. Red Cross field directors were with General Eisenhower’s men in the great amphibious invasion of France, and with General MacArthur’s forces when they returned to the Phil ippines. Ten thousand men and women wear the Red Cross uniform overseas, serv ing In every theatre of war and with every command. They work to leave clubs, clubmobiles, rest houses, hospi tals. Red Cross men attached to fight ing units are with those outfits even In actual combat. Red Cross girls dis pense snacks at air fields, along truck ing supply routes, behind front areas and In liberated cities. Many, both men and women, are on duty at Bcores of isolated outposts throughout the world, and give aid to wounded men in hospitals and on hos pital ships, planes and trains. Away from the battle areas, thousands more serve at military and naval installa tions within the United States. Red Cross service on the home front has expanded with the ever-increasins demand upon it, Mr. O’Connor said. Ir addition to collecting more than ter million pints of blood for plasma since the beginning of the war, the Rec Cross has met requests of the Arm; and Navy for whole blood shipments tc European and Pacific battle areas. Ter centers on the East and West coasts already participate in the collection ol Type O whole blood, while others stanc ready to join in that program as mill tary needs warrant. At four packaging centers, manned by volunteer workers, more than 20. 000,000 food parcels have been turned out in a steady stream for shipment tc prisoners of war and civilian internees in Germany and the Far East. Surgica1 dressings—775.000.000 of them—wers prepared to the past year alone foi front line and hospital use. Production workers Jn hundreds of communities have continued the never ceasmg pro gram of making warm garments fot destitute civilians in war-torn countries overseas, and in those countries the Red Cross has assisted the Army to caring for refugees and homeless peo pie. Nor has its service to the armed forces on a global scale caused any relaxation on the part of the Red Cross to carry out its traditional service tc the American people In time of disas ter. More than 200 domestic disasters —floods, high winds and fires—have found Red Cross woykers on the Job to relieve stricken families and to aid in the rebuilding of communities. “The need for Red Cross services In the coming year will be greater than ever before," Mr. O’Connor said. "In fulfilling the Red Cross appeal fox .$200,000,000, the American people will indicate its wholehearted backing oi men In the front lines.” H U W UFt CHIlLENSl GETBIG SO FAHMEH BROWN CANBUT MORE m BONDS ANU CITYTOLKS GET THE POHK CHOPS THEV WANT?

Treasury Deparlmyst LOOKING AffKAD b y GEORGE S BENSON P niU tiit-H aritiif CtUtft Startp. J rta a u i The Approach Planned Economy was advocated In Germany by a small group of the orists as long ago as 1880. The large mass of politically minded Germans considered them harmless cranks and toyed with their ideas abstract edly for all of ten years before they saw danger in them. People who were loyal to the old Germany and its ways learned suddenly that Planned Economy was gaining pop ularity. Serious consideration of Planned Economy started among conserva tive thinkers In Germany about half a century ago. Deliberate, Teutonic minds almost universally opposed the thought of manhandling econom ic laws which they recognized as natural laws, worthy of respect in any orderly society. Just the same, they saw in Planned Economy a powerful tool for rough work. Something Different. Fifteen or 20 years passed without much outward change. Planned Economy was still in the back ground. Everybody seemed con scious of it. More and more people admitted believing that parliaments had a right to enact written laws against the workings of competition as they understood it. Bi fact, every time a German became dissatisfied with conditions he thought about Planned Economy. Finally 1914 came, bringing World War I. Germany quickly went all- out for Planned Economy. It was a shrewd political move. People reasoned feebly that open competi tion must cost something, and ac cepted the new order in the name of efficiency; to win the war. AU in dustry went hurriedly under govern ment control, and the dreams of yes terday’s unpopular minority became the rule. Monopolies Thrived. Government managers eliminated new and growing industrial plants. Huge monopolies grew larger still. It was Jthe easy way for government because a few big concerns are less trouble to manage than a large number of small ones. Competitors entered into cartels to hike prices and hide incompetence. They di vided markets like pies and traded customers as if they were sheep. Defeated in World War I, burdened with reparations, lame of manpow er, Germany took a stUl bigger dose of government control. By 193S Hit ler was dictating to a race of con servatives who could still remember laughing at the economic planners and saying, "It can’t happen here.” Planned Economy had given way to National SoaiaUim; in other words, plain dictatorship. Like a Drug Habit. We have Planned Economy In America now, a powerful weapon for rough work such as we are doing. But Planned Economy is still a hab it-forming medicine. If America is to be prosperous again, this drug must be used sparingly. Rationing is effective if it’s necessary, poison ous if it’s not. Rationing, in its only safe form, is held to an irreduc ible minimum—not taken for effect. America’s defenders and her al lies must be fed. Also must the people at home understand that their government is still a power that’s friendly to them. Returning now to the easy rationing rules of last Sep tember and October would yield more support voluntarily than Hitler himself could get with his three- speed machine: (I) Planned Econ omy, (2 ) Regimentation, (S) Dicta torship.

N. C. Having pastored many churches through the years ft has been my obseruation that it doesn’t pay oeo pie to forsake the church. We re alize that the average cburcb is not perfect; is far from what it should be; nevertheless we also realize that the outside world is far worse. When one forsakes the church he almost always loses ont spiritually Very few keep up their family al tar, or pray as much in secret as usual. Oftentimes they quit read ing and studying the Btble, quit Sunday school and lose interest in revivals and the religion of the Lord Tesus Christ. You can meet them from time to time and ask bow they are getting along spiri tually since they quit the church and you will find that they are down at the foot of the hill. You can see that they are not happy. Their countenance shows that there is little sunshine in the soul. Of tentimes they do not want to meet the preacher, or godly people. Be- loven, it’s so. Neither does it pay peoplt finan cially to quit the church. M.any complain that it costs too much to supoort the church, therefore with draw their support. But they don’t gain by so doing Their money gets away from them somehow, some way, and maybe they bardlv know bow it went We should re alize once and forever that we nev er lose by supporting the cause of God, but we certainly lose by fail ing to support it. God gives us all that we have, and certainly He won’t suffer us to lose bv giving Iiberapy to His blessed cause and kingdom. He rewards us for all we do for Him, even financially. Praise His holy name. If the church of which you are a member is too worldly, proud,' dead or formal for you to conscien tiously support, then unite with one that is more spiritual. Or if you do not.know of such a church in your community, or in your town, then give your support to missions that are sponsored by god Iy people, or to godlv preachers. Find some place where godly peo pie meet for worship and unite with them. Don’t forsake the church of the Lord Tesus Christ, or the blessed people-of God. Assemble with them, take part in their ser vices, pray, sing, give of your means to the cause of God. Stand by godly writers with your.' pray ers and money. Help them to pub lish the truth to the world. It ne ver pays to forsake the church of Christ, or His people. Loafers and Hoarders The Mead committee has, made public glaring examples of loafing on the job and labor hoarding. . Stories of a similar nature from unofficial sources have long been common knowledge. Private citi zens can recount from their own experience, disgraceful examples of deliberate loafing on war jobs be cause they could not stand "the waste of time they were required to endure. Tbe answer to criticism of labor loafing and labor hoarding is al ways, “ We have produced the goods,’’ That may be true, but at what a price! How much more coiill have been produced other wise! We have now reached the point where both money and man- hours are growing scarcer. Let us hope that if the Mead-committee Is not able <0 penalize or punish labor or labor hoarders, that revelations which it can make will arouse. the nation and shame the offenders in', to a correction of t.heir wavs.—Ex.

Contest Will Aid Re publicans State Chairman Sim DeLapp an nounced some time ago that a wish of hts for vears had been realized when one of the most loyal Repub licans in the state bad set up a prize of $100 to be awarded to the winner of a recitation contest a- mong high school boys and girls each year on the subject “Why I Am A Republican; What of The Future of the Party?” This donor of such a prize has fixed tt so that upon his death there will'be a trust fund that will keep the contest going “so long as cbe Republican party lives,” said DeLapp. Contestants will gather at the Lincoln Dav Dinners and the con tests will be run throughout the day, with fhe two going into finals to appear at the dinner with their recitations and there the winnei will be awarded the prize.

I have just read Mrs. Beatty’s letter in The Forum where she thanks God for a man who had everything it took to rescue a de spairing nation from financial ruin. Well, I guess I’m a little old-fash ioned but I kinda liked the old deal we used to have when we bad two political parties and a free de mocratic government. You know it takes two parties to make a free government, In the old deal times a lot of peo ple did not have much money but I think you will agree with me that they were happier and more con tent than they have ever been since the New Deal has been running our government. Money will not huy happiness and contentment We did not need so much money. We were not in debt to the extent we have been for ten years Every man was free to make a living for his family in any kind of work he might choose, and if he was able to work he had to do just that. The gov ernment'did not keep him and his family in idleness. Why, in those days, children, a lot of them, obeyed their parents and worked too, and it was good for. them They staved at home part of the time and lead clean and healthy lives. Our teen-age girls and boys did not hang around pub lic places drinking beer and liquor and smoking cigarettes and stay ing out together at night tilt late hours and their parents not know, tng where they were In the old days we had a lot of peace and quiet. We had law enforcement: drunks did not make a habit of going to a man’s place of business cursing and threatening him -ud breaking the windows out of the building and going along the roads by people’s houses drinki'ig and making, the very elements ring with their pro fanity. In these New Deal times one can even get away with murder Yes, we have come a long way from the “old time religion way” and I feel like God is punishing ns in' America for leaving Him out of things In .His word He says: “Choose ye this day whom ve will serve,1' and it doesn’t even take disgruntled Republicans or the lit tle three to know that today our nation is serving the devil more than God. I thank God for men and women who are big enough and true enough to our country to put religion above and hetore politics, although they are in the miuofity, We should pray as we never prav- ed befere for our rulers to do away with liquor and other eviW in thU country, the gcod old U. S. A. that our boys are giving their lives for across the sea and away from and loved ones. They ask us again and ag2in to pray for ihem, and if we fail them bow can we face those that come back? And, if the President saved us from ruin twelve years ago, I hope' and pray he can save us fr m the condition we are now in.— Mrs. W. D Mascn, in 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. We are forced to discontinue all subscriptions to the boys-in foreign lands or in army camps in this country when their subscriptions expires. The soldiers want thier home ' paper. We have had to mark I several names off our books this week. Maybe one of them was your husband or son. No-Strike Pledge Seen Along Main Street “ War plant and transportation walkouts left nearly 27,000 work ers Idle in various parts of the countrv today, and 30.day notice of a possible bituminous coal strike was on file in Washington,” the Associated Press reported Tuesday in a summary of strikes and threats of strikes. “The report added that more than 14,000 Chrysler Corporation workers were out in Detroit, CUT. TING PRODUCTION OF SUP ERFORTRESS ENGINE PARTS AND OTHER WAR ESSEN TIAL ITEMS” . And a few hours later we were told in a news report from New Bedford Mass , that “this iodus tial city’s acute war man-power controversy—testing fie Govern ment’s ability to draft textile work, ers into war plants—took a new turn today with a threat of strikes in the two factories seeking relief from a labor shortage.” Wonld William Green or Philip Murray or Sidney Hillman or John L. Lewis contend that such condi tions are in keening with organized labor’s officials “no strike” pledge to President Roosevelt? Can any one honestly say that the “no strike” pledge is being kept when such conditions exist at a time when both our nations two wars for survival are at their peak crisis, our casualty lists are soar ing weekly and daily, and our fight ing men on far-flung battlefronts are dying and being wounded by the tens of thousands in their strug gle to save our country and pre serve the rights: and liberals of all of us union members and unor ganized workers included?—Char lotte Observer. Need More Praying Dear Editor'—I am taking time to send in mv renewd for The Record as I always like to hear from Davie I am wondering what all are doing a- round Sheffield. Well it seems very Sad and lonely, so many of onr boys going away and many of them to never come back again. Now is a time that we need to live closer to the Lord and do more old time pray ing than ever. Sin is the cause of this awful war. Look at the drunk men when Pearl Harbor was taken. I heard a preacher say that Feb. 13, 1944, on Sunday, 1500 people were gathered in Washington. D C., hav ing a big party, drinking and danc ing and hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of whiskey there to drink. Theywerehavingabigtime when a poor soldier bov passed by said, “Listen there, and my poor buddie out younder dies.” “If a lot of that whiskey was left out we might have peace soon. I was in a hospital Sunday where three men had been in a wreck—all drunk It wont do to try to mix whiskey and gas. I was traveling on a bus last week, and near the back were 3 or 4 drunk girls and men It-is bad to see drunk men, but to think of a drunk woman. I saw a drunk wo man brought in, they told her little girl s e was sick but she said, no mother is drunk. We need more old time praying. I am wishing all a happy new year. MRS. D. L RICHARDSON.

Are there foods to serve that are point-free and ap petizing? Yes, there are, and I’m giving you several sugges tions today which will make lunch eons an easy matter to prepare. I’d suggest that you make use of as many soups as possible for this mid-day meal. Use canned or de hydrated soups, if you’re rushed for time. If you have bits of leftover vegetables, puree or dice them fine and add to a thin white sauce. Hearty sandwiches go well with soups. You’ll like cottage cheese, liver sausage, eggs and peanut but ter combinations. A bit of crunchy celery will provide vitamins and minerals or crispy salads will add texture contrast to the bowl of soup and sandwich luncheon. If the men folk come home for lunch and expect heartier fare, there is the macaroni family which you can put to good use. Use fresh or home-canned vegetables for flavor and color contrast with spaghetti, noodles and macaroni, add a welt seasoned sauce, and luncheon is all ready to be served. This noodle platter with vegeta bles sells itself as soon as it arrives at the table: Egg Noodles With Baked Onions and Lima Beans. (Serves 6) I 8-ounce package of egg noodles 8 to 10 small onions 1 can condensed tomato sonp 2 cups lima beans, fresh cooked or canned Vt cup diced or grated American cheese 3 tablespoons drippings Salt and pepper to taste Parboil onions until tender, about 20 minutes. Arrange in shallow bak ing dish and cov er with tomato soup that has been diluted. Add cheese. Bake in a moderately hot oven until soup is thoroughly heated and cheese melt ed. Cook egg noo dles in boiling salted water until tender. Drain; add drippings and arrange on 'serving platter. Place baked onions around the mound of noodles and serve with tomato cheese sauce. Buttered lima beans are a colorful, tasty addition. Macaroni and mushrooms are the basis for this flavorful dish: Macaroni and Mushrooms. (Serves .6) V% pound boiled macaroni I tablespoon bntter or substitute I small onion, cut fine I teaspoon flonr I cop beef or chicken sonp I pint stewed tomatoes I tablespoon dried mushrooms, soaked and heated Salt and cayenne pepper I teaspoon parsley, chopped 3 tablespoons grated American or Parmesan cheese After macaroni has boiled in salt ed water, place in colander and let Lynn Says: Clothes Tips: To make clothes easy to iron, make sure the board is well padded with cloth and have the cover stretched tightly over it. To keep clothes from freezing to the line, dip a cloth in a strong solution of salt and water and wipe line with it. Also, add a little salt to the last rinsing water for clothes. To remove chewing gum from clothes, place the garments in the refrigerator and chill thoroughly. Then it scrapes oS easily with a knife. To remove grass stains from clothing, sponge with ammonia and water before washing.

Refill shells; bake in a hot oven at 450 de grees 5 to 8 minutes until KghtIy browned. When potatoes are creamed, they are extraordinarily nutritious. In this case, sour cream is used in place of white sauce, and it’s a cap tivating combination: Qnick Creamed Potatoes. (Serves 6 to 8) 3 cops Idaho potatoes, diced I small onion, cot fine 3 or 4 tablespoons thick sour cream Salt and pepper to taste Place diced potatoes and onion into a heavy skillet. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, about % inch deep. Cover tight ly and cook until potatoes are ten der but not mushy. The water should be nearly all evaporated by this time. Add the sour cream and stir constantly until well blended. Sea son with salt and pepper and serve at once. An easy-to-prepare meat dish with noodles uses as vegetables onions and lima beans. A tomato-cheese sauce adds nourishment and flavor. Potatoes are again highlighted, this time with salmon In a casserole: Scalloped Salmon and Potatoes.

J fo f p e * * Looking at HOLLYWOOD D ED-BLOODED girls with plenty of vim, vigor, intrigue, and mis chief in their makeup are about to supplant the long cycle of admirable women who have held the fore ground in motion pictures for the ■last two years. And to Ernst Lnbitsch, who has created many vogues in the 30 years he has been in our business, goes credit for the initial venture ' in 1945. Shortly you will see Tallulah Bank head in the red-blooded role of Cath erine in Ernst Lubitsch’s * ‘ A Royal Scandal.” Catherine was a character both in history books and the Lubitsch film. She always got TaUolah Bankhead her man. Hen. technique was di rect as the arch er’s arrow. Her methods fell short of m urder—at Gen. Tleraey least so far as her screen credit In this one goes—although the boys who wrote the textbooks gave her .wider latitude. “Catherine might be said to rep resent the wish dreams of all wom en, especially the very repressed and quiet ones,’* said Lubitsch with that merry, naughty twinkle which is as much a part of his trademark as his big black cigar or his trick of making box office hits. That Bankhead Touch “Of course, Hedda, Bankhead makes Catherine a IitQe more at* tractive than any other actress could possibly make her. Because the Bankhead influence is a highly con tagious thing, either on the stage or in films, every woman comes out of the theater colored by the Bank head influence.” Since this is a day of action for women, with more females active outside the home than at any time in American history, I can see where the Catherine type is singu larly timely, and I’ll agree with that. We’ve had a spate of saints and sci entists, from Jennifer Jones in ‘‘The Song of Bernadette” to Greer Gar* son in “Madame Curie.” We’ve had cozy Mrs. Miniver and noble, strong- hearted wives like Clandette Colbert in “Since You Went Away." We’ve had Maria Veronica in “The Keys of the Kingdom” and Irene Donne’s two characterizations of admirable women in “The White Cliffs of Dover" and “A Guy Named Joe.” And as the motion picture industry seldom stands still sufficiently long to allow moss to grow on the pave ment before the box office window, I can see where a radical change will be good all the way around. Since Twentieth Century - Fox is snapping up all the best sellers— they now own a list of 20 or more —and since the trend of current literature is toward meatier heroes and heroines, Darryl Zannck will be the first to inaugurate the new vogue on the screen. Little, bat O, M yt Gene Tierney will draw one of the outstanding examples of tbis new type in the role of Ellen in “Leave Her to Heaven.” Ellen is a girl with a will of reinforced concrete. She has no scruples whatsoever, even when it comes to shoving a little lad out of a boat when he interferes with her share of her hus- - band’s time and attention. Make no mistake, there are such women. If “Forever Amber” can be scripted in a way to skirt possible Hays office objections this will be a role to end all roles- of the type. Practically any star you want to name in Hollywood would give her eye teeth to get a crack at it. Hung in the bawdy setting of the court of Charles H—an utterly amoral era—Amber flaunts her beauty, con spires for power, matches her wits with some of England’s best brains. Saving grace for the film’s chance is the fact that the book at finish points a clear moral—you don’t get to enjoy what you want when you go about getting it in the wrong way. It looks as if Greer Garson, too. will get her chance at a bad girl role. It’s the star part in “Drivin’ Woman” — a character that, moral ly irreproachable, gives the effect of a ruthless beauty without shred of scruple. Come to think of it, most great acting roles center around red- blooded women. And bad girls cer tainly have something. • • • Attwristg Lobbyut I don’t know any other Hollywood lobbyist in Washington who’s had the Vice President play his or her accompaniment. Lanren Bacall did.

Farm News Because of increased neode for eggs and poultry products to augment the nation’s supply of meat, farmers of Davie County are urgent to raise more broilers and roaster chickens tb:s year and to obtain chicks early.so as to have more pullets ready for fall and winter laying, accord, ing to J. N Smoot, Chairman Davie coun ty AAA Committee. Broiiera and roast ers are needed to add to the nation’s meat supply during the coming year” he said. “Producers with brooder space not need, d for laying flock replacement would do well to use the extra space for broilers and roasters. The resulting addition to meat supply will come during the season’s low point for-othor meats.” Present indica tions are that total meat supplies to be available during the first half of this vear will be a yearly rate of about 125 pounds per capita, compared with an annual rate of 150 pounds per person available duriug tbo first half of 1944, he stated. “The nation's requirements for eggs can be met by normal production from the hens on January I, 1945,” he said. “Poultry producers are being encouraged to cuU normally, but not excessively, to keep up laying efficiency. Production' of chicks for flock replacements should be about the same as last year and getting chicks early will assure more pullets for flock replace ments should find a ready market lor meat.” he added. Chairman Smoot said the general feed picture indicates that the supply of corn and oats, important ingredients in mixed feeds, will be about one-fourth greater than 1944. For a nation as a whole, there is expectfd to be about 14 perceut less livestock than last year, mainly hogs and poultry. “With prospects for considerably more feed per animal unit, there is no need this year to Iin it poultry or egg pioduc- iion in order to conserve national feed supplies,” he concluded. Plans for the continuation Cf Dairy Pro duction Payments through the last nine months ot 1945 have been announced by the War Food Administration, according to J N. Smoot, Chairman, Davie County AAA Committee This announcement definitely extended the pregram for another 8 month period through June 80. 1945.” ae declared,” and continuation of the program after this date is necessarily conditional upon the approval of Cdngress. The specific rates of payment after June 30 must also re- main subject to later revision.” 'Subject to these condition,” Mr. Smoot continued, “the rates of payment on whole milk for April, May, and June will be 55 cents Oer hundred weight; for July August and September 65 cents; for October, Nov ember, and December, 90 cents. The rate of butterfat deliveries will be 10 cent per pound, through September, in October through December, 16 cents per pound.” The AAA leader pointed out that under the proprosed program, the seasonal pat tern of rates is adjusted so as to encour age more milk in the fall and winter months when it can be more effectively utilized and will help to reiieve seasonal shortages. “The scheduled program will give dairy farmers about the same aver age rate of paymsnt on whole milk as in 1944 and a substantially higher rate on butterfat in cream,” Mr. Smoot said. “This program came to the rescue of dairy fairy farmers in October 1943,” Mr. Smoot explained.’’ when it was realized that the difficulties under which these pro ducers were operating were rapidly in creasing—food prices rising and labor shortages becoming a real headache.” He cited a recent report that revealed the currently increasing price of hav and ltbor shortages. “These c Iidiifons are still everyday worries of the dairy farm ers and the continuation of dairy payments will help milk producers cope these handi caps. thereby, encourage every possible eflort to meet the increased 1945 milk production goal ” Mr. Smoot urged all milk producers to continue keeping accurate records and as sured them tnat they would be notified relative to any additional information re- eeived by the county office concerning the Dairy Production Payment Program.

PLANS FOR PACIFIC WAR It has all been kept very hush- hush, but top army officials have made a vitally important decision jn war production after Germany’s defeat. ' Original war production schedules called for a 40 per cent' cutback after Germany caves in, permitting a vast reconversion program and the early production of automobiles, refrigerators, radios and other goods. However, the army plus WPBig- wigs have now decided to keep the war machine rolling full tilt, not cut ting back any but a few items until Japan is defeated. Behind the vital decision is an important new plan to speed victory in the Pacific. Confi dential war department surveys disclosed that it would take over a year to return European veterans, together with their equipment, much of it geared for winter rather than tropical fighting. Allied shipping short ages would make it a long job to crate, sort, repair and re ship heavy equipment from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In addition, the army survey dis closed that a lot of European equip ment will be obsolete for Pacific Bghting; would have to be rebuilt, taking valuable time. Instead, the aew plan calls for bringing the men back at once, issuing them new equipment specifically designed for Far Eastern combat. Later, the army will bring back overseas war gear and use it for Pacific replace ments. This should speed final blows against Japan, and shorten the Far Eastern war by many months. As a result, 1945 production sched ules will probably be a billion dol lars higher than those of 1944. The war department, which had a pile of telegrams two feet high cancel ing war contracts to be sent out the day Germany is licked, has now culled through them and may only cancel a few dozen orders. MacARTHCR AND MARINES The boys in the Pacific long have known about the rivalry between General MacArthur and the U. S. navy. Many are the wisecracks about MacArthur and the U. S, ma rines, land army of the navy. How ever, in only one case so far as is known, has MacArthur ever come up against one of these jokes face to face. It happened on one of the Philip pine islands a few days after it was taken, and when MacArthur was in specting a battery of marine artil lery. Solemnly, he passed from gun to gun, making no comment. Then suddenly as he came to one gun, he turned on the marine lieu tenant in command and let loose the most terrific dressing-down that young officer ever had received. The air was smoky with expletives. The lieutenant at first stood be wildered. The gun was carefully polished. Everything was in place. Then he looked a little closer. Be side the gun an enlisted man had placed a sign. It read: “With the help of God and a few marines, MacArthur retakes the Philip pines.” The lieutenant thought at first that he would be busted. But several days passed and nothing happened. He is now back in the United States and the story can be told. INSURANCE LOBBY The insurance lobby is headed for trouble regarding its bill to exempt insurance companies from the Sher man anti-trust act. If the lobbyists aren’t careful they will get a White House veto. The bill passed the senate in a form which met with all-round ap proval. But in the house, the in. surance lobby sharpened its ax and quietly tacked on some amendments which will not be acceptable either to the White House or, probably, to a majority of the senate. Chief ef fect of the amendments was to make it impossible to revive the anti-trust act regarding insurance companies, without a special act of congress. Fair-minded Senator O’Mahoney of Wyoming, who was quite willing to give the insurance companies a reasonable compromise, will fight this extra grab to the end. So will a great many of his colleagues.• • * CAPITAL CHAFF 4L General Franco’s controlled Span ish press has been using the same propaganda line as Hitler regard ing the recent Big Three conference.

IF THERE was a matter of a 1 million dollars at stake and you, as manager, had to "pick the great est one-game pitcher for a particu lar contest—what hurler would you select? . Years ago I asked Connie Mack this question and he had a ready answer! His pick was Charles Albert B„ender, the Chippewa Chief, the wiry Indian who was not only a great pitcher but always at his best when the blue chips were on the line. • “We’ve had some pretty fair pitch ers on the AtWetics in our time,” Connie said. • “I mean Rube Wad dell, Lefty Grove, Eddie Plank, Herb Pennock, George Earnshaw, and many others. Some of these undoubted ly had more stuff than Chief Bender had. But Bender was always at his peak in a game you had to win. On that one day you knew he would be at his best—and "the mil lion dollars would only key him up —not let him down. “I know there have been better pitchers over a season or through many years. But in a pinch where the pressure was heavy, where the stake was high, Bender was a hard man to beat. And he would be just as cool and as relaxed for a million as he would be for a dime.” After this talk, I put the same problem up to Frank Frisch, one of the smartest men baseball has ever produced, one of its greatest competitors. Picks Dizzy Dean “Bender was a little, before my day,” Frank said. “Under the con- i ditions you have named I think ; my pick would be Dizzy Dean. Diz- ! zy was not only a great pitcher, but ; he also loved the spotlight. Also the pressure. His biggest thrill was in meeting Carl Hubbell. But compet ing against any star pitcher de lighted Dean. And don’t forget that Dizzy had everything a great pitch- ; er needs — blazing speed — a fine curve ball—change of pace—good control—and above all unbeatable confidence in Diyzy Dean. "With a million dollars at stake Dizzy would have been unbeatable, at least as close to unbeatable un der such conditions as anyone I ever saw. For he would have revelled at such a chance. Even a billion dollars would never have bothered Ole Diz. That’s what I mean by naming such a pitcher.” Remember- this is not • a matter of naming the game’s greatest pitch er through a season or through many years. It is the matter of naming the pitcher you would select under the heaviest sort of pressure for one vitally important game. Christy Mathewson, in his prime, belongs in this class. Few people today remember the Matty who pitched three successive shutouts against the Athletics in the 1905 World'Series, j ' The million dollars - would never have bothered Matty. He lost the Giant-Cub play off in 1908—probably - the most important single game ever played—but how many know he tackled this game with an arm so sore and tired that he could barely lift it when he began warming up. For that season Matty had won 37 j games, and saved 12 others. Great Old Alex ; I’ll give you another tough mil- ; lion dollar competitor—in or out of ' condition. His name '• is Grover Cleveland Alexander. .Here was as great a combination of heart, head and arm as I have ever seen. As ' a rookie in 1911 he won 28 games, i Alez was another who took new ' inspiration from a tough spot, even I in his fading years when be was in ! no shape to handle the job. But he ) still handled it, as Tony Lazzeri of the Yankees .remembers in the 1926 World series when Alex fanned him with the bases full. And there is Ed Walsh of the White Sox—the pitcher Ty Cobb names as the greatest of all time for a period of five years. Walsh was a 40 game-winner—and at his best in a hot spot. So here we have named such blue chip stars as Bend er, Dean, Mathewson, Alexander and Walsh. And there is always Carl Hubbell. Thesej “big dough” entries were sure to be at their best for one big game—one vital contest. I have another nomination who belongs in this listing: Walter John son, winner of 400 games with a weak-hitting Washington club. Odd Ring Styles We were talking with Dumb Dan Morgan,' who has only, been mixed up with the. ring game for a trifle more than 50 years, about various ring styles. Durhb Dan brought up Lee Oma, possibly the best heavy weight on the home front. “Oma is an odd one to the pres ent generation,” Morgan said, “with I his way of dropping both hands, I walking by an opponent as if taking' , a stroll, looking over one shoulder I as he goes by, and then suddenly I turning and leading the attack.

RELEASE THE STORY THUS FAR: Forty-foar* year-old Wilbert Winkle, who operates a repair shop In the alley back of his Home, is notified by his draft board be is In I-A. He breaks the bad news to his domineering wife, Amy, who now hates to part with him. On arriving at camp Mr. Winkle Is given his physical and to his great surprise and dismay, is accepted for service. He is sent Co Camp Squibb, a thousand miles from home, where he meets Mr. Tinker, a man of his own age. After much haird training, Mr. Winkle Is called in before his su perior officer and told he is over 38 and can go home If he chooses, bat winkle says IietIl stay In the army. He graduates from Motor Mechanics SChooL CHAPTER IX Mr. Winkle peered at him through his glasses and blinked. He had seen the A rm y work other wonders, even on him self, but never a miracle like this. “That’s all right,” he mur mured. “I suppose,” Freddie went on, “I’m responsible for you being called ‘Pop,’ too.” “I don’t mind,” Mr. Winkle as sured him. “In fact, I rather like it.” “Me,” said Mr. Tinker, “I don’t believe it. It’s somebody else pre tending to be him.” “He’s a reformed character,” Jack agreed. Freddie looked at the bar. ’Tm not so reformed I won’t buy every body a drink.” Over their glasses, in the noisy bar, Freddie explained how he had BMY WAR ROMI)’V “I’m not so reformed I won’t buy everybody a drink.” come to see the light. He was ar ticulate about it. “The kid here did it,” he said, indicating Jack. "When I figure the Army made him almost up to lick ing m e, I thought it must have something. Even for me. I got a look at m yself, I mean, what I had been. I didn’t even like my mus tache.” “What about the Alphabet?” Mr. Winkle inquired. “He isn’t so bad,” Freddie an swered, “when you get to know him.” “You see?” Jack asked. "He’s got the right attitude. Of course, he niay still need a little polishing here and there, but Fm doing that.” Jack gave a practical demonstra tion of this when Freddie’s gaze wandered to girls in the bar. “Come on,” he told Freddie, “you’re a strictly USO type now.”• • • The next day Mr. Winkle'was giv en a week’s furlough. The perma nent post to which he and the other Motor Mechanics School Graduates were to be sent wouldn’t be ready to receive them for this length of time. He could, if he wished, re turn home at his own expense. He sent Amy a telegram and then boarded a train. Amy was at the station to meet him. At first they just stared at each other without being able to do anything else. It was an awkward moment. Then Amy cried, “Oh, Wilbert, I didn’t think I would ever see you again!” They embraced. He felt clumsy when he kissed her. It was almost as strange coming back to her as it was leaving her. “Why,” said Amy, “I hardly know you.” She seemed surprised. She touched the buttons of his uniform. “How are you?” he asked. “I’m fine.” She examined him again in some admiration. “I nev er thought you’d look like that in a uniform. And your stomach—it’s gone. You'll have to have your pic ture taken.” “Well," he asked again, “how are you, Amy?” “I’m toe," she repeated. Mr. Winkle drove, for the novelty of feeling a regular car under his ;hands. It seemed light and danger ous after the trucks and command cars with which he had dealt lately in his field training. He sensed Amy looking at him. “You’ve put on weight." She spoke in an aggrieved tone. “I wrote you about it," he re minded. i “At least ten pounds." ! “Twelve and a half.” i “You never did that before.” She sounded still more hurt. “No mat ter how much I fed you.” It isn’t the cooking,” he assured her. “It’s the exercise and being outdoors that makes you eat more.” Though he knew she felt better after he said this, a restraint re* mained between them. They found they could not at once, and easily, take up where they left off. The months in between, during which each had had another life, interfered and came between them. They had to get to know each other all over again. Mr. Winkle sensed her staring at Ium anew, in a different way. He glanced at her, and saw that her 6a2c was contemplative, searching, a little suspicious. He feared that she was reverting to being a termagant, and that the effects of his suddenly being made into a soldier were wearing off. He supposed he couldn’t be sure about that until after the war and he re turned, if he did, to his regular life. “Wilbert,” she asked, “did you see any women?” “I told you Fd send you a post card when I found somebody else,” he said. “You didn’t get one, did you?” “No,” she admitted slowly. She sat staring at him and he turned to look her for an instant straight in the eye. “I’m glad I didn’t,” she told him In a low voice. Mr. Winkle was happy when she dropped the subject. It was his turn to feel hurt when they reached the hpuse and sneaked inside so none of the neighbors would see him. Penelope, instead of greeting him joyously, as would have been ex pected, scrunched down on the floor, growling and barking, and glaring at him with disapproval. Mrs. Win kle scolded her, but it made no im pression. Even when Mr. Winkle spoke to her coaxingly and let her sniff his hand, she wouldn’t accept him or have anything to do with him. So far as Penelope was con cerned, he was a stranger in his own house. It was barely daylight when 'he awakened. He expected to hear the bustle of many men moving and cursing and the bugle tootling its dreadful call. He listened, not quite sure of where he was. He heard Amy’s light breathing. He looked at his watch. It was exactly 5:45. He tried to go back to sleep again. This was the morning of his king ship. But the king couldn’t sleep any more. Harsh habit interfered, re fusing him his crown. It being also his accustomed time to eat, he felt hungry. After a time he got up quietly, put on his bath robe, over his pajamas, and went out. Downstairs, Penelope growled, snarled when he spoke to her, and snapped when he made to pat her. He wandered outdoors just as a strange newsboy delivered the pa per. The boy looked at him, star tled, then interested, then wise, and went away whistling. Mr. Wihkle didn’t approve of such precocious behavior in one so young. He investigated the kitchen, over Penelope’s continued protests, and devoured odd'assortments of food. He had an idea that tickled him. Sometime later, with a daintily prepared tray and the newspaper resting at one side of it, he went in to awaken Amy. Her eyes went wide and staring as he saluted and announced “Breakfast in bed for you, queen.” Mr. Winkle visited his shop to see that his tools and machines were in good order. He made small repairs about the house. He had his photo graph taken so that Amy could have him up over the mantel while he was away, or if he didn’t ever return. He talked with Mr. Wescott, who first laughed outright at the sight of Mr. Winkle in his uniform and then was prone to be triumphant about his prediction for him. “What did I tell you?” he crowed. “You’re be ing used as a mechanic, just like I said. You’ll stay right here.” Formerly he and Mr. Wescott had considered together the large and broad scale aspects of war, and now his neighbor expected that, as an actual military man, he would have some expert ideas. “Our antitank guns,” Mr. Wescott inquired, “are they going to be able to stop the Germans?” . “I don’t know a thing about them,” said Mr. Winkle. “But surely in your training—” Mr. Winkle coughed apologetical ly. “I never saw one.” Mr. Wescott considered. A little of his pompousness left him and he proposed, “Perhaps I shouldn’t be o cifin g such questions. You proba bly have your orders not to let out any military secrets.” “No,” said Mr. Winkle, “that isn’t it I don’t know any military se crets.”“Tanks?” asked Mr. Wescott “I’ve never seen a tank.” Mr. Wescott stared at him. He dropped the subject, and took up the Memterranean campaign. “How is it coming along?” Mr. Winkle asked.“Do you mean to say you don’t know?” demanded Mr. Wescott “Well,” said Mr. Winkle, “I hardly evfer saw a paper in camp. Since I’ve been home Fve glanced at the headlines a little, but I haven't read the details much.” “You,” spluttered Mr. Wescott, “above all people, you, in the serv ice—” “There isn’t much time to thin! about it,” Mr. Winkle apologized. “But you don’t even sound inter ested,” Mt. Wescott complained. “Somehow,” said Mr. Winkle “I’ve come to leave that up to tin generals.” “Of course,” said Mr. Wescott stiffly. “Yes. Of course.” He gath ered the forces of his indignation and scolded pettishly, “All I can say is that you aren’t any more of a soldier than I thought you’d be.” Too late, Mt. Winkle realized that he had offended his neighbor, that Mr. Wescott thought he meant to squelch and ridicule him as an arm chair strategist. That had not been his intention at all. It was simply that he and Mr. Wescott had grown apart, that they had become strangers. Domestically, the Winkles were as happy as they ever had been. They lived the few days he was home like a honeymoon taken up from where it was dropped many years before. Amy seemed intent on making up to Mr. Winkle the period she had been shrewish, and he decided to enjoy this, no matter what might happen after the war. She sewed on several buttons for him, and though her way wasn’t ex actly the manner in which he had learned to sew, he was delighted to have* her do it. After that first morning, Mr. Winlde managed to stay in bed long enough for Amy, by getting up very early, to bring him his breakfast there. The weather was fine and Mrs. Winkle squandered her gasoline ra tion by going on a picnic with him every day into the woods. On these trips even Peiielope agreed to wag her tail sluggishly at the soldier, though she still wouldn’t accept him wholeheartedly. They spoke little of the war and his portion of it. Not that they took it for granted, or had become fatal istic about it, but they, wished to forget it during the time they had together. Only on the day. of his departure did the war come again between them. Once more he held her in his arms. She wept, and he felt like, crying, too. Then, when they parted, for a Seetihg instant before they spoke or moved again, he. saw that she looked at him defiantly, nearly with antagonism. But it wasn’t a But the Kipg couldn’t sleep any more. hen-pecking look. It was like the unreasonable anger of a person who loves another a great deal when the other has put himself in mortal dan ger. • • • Sergeant Technician Wilbert George Winkle would have preferred to be alone in one of the upper berths rather than occupying a low er berth with Corporal Technician Tinker. But that was the way the Army said it was to be on the troop train roaring through the cold night, and that was the way it was. Mr. Tinker, besides taking up most of the space with his bulk, leaving only a few inches for Mr. Winklal was iff addition restless because, having boarded the train at night, none of them even knew in which direction it was going. AU they were sure of was that they were being shipped to an em barkation port Mr. Tinker twisted, nearly knock ing Mr. Winkle out of the berth, and stared out the window. “Not a star,” he said. “Mebbe I couldn’t read them anyway, but you say you can.” “I think we’re going south,” the man above them called down. “What do you think we’re going to, the Civil War?” someone de manded. “I hekr they ain’t finished fighting it down there yet.” “Naw,” another differed. “It’s east. That means England and thi' Nasties.” This was for Mr. Tinker’s' sake, to devil him about being sent to fight the Germans instead of the Japs. “What’s it matter which way?” someone else wanted to know. “YOU ain’t going to get off and catch a»; other train, are you?” I (TO BE CONTINUXDt IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL L esson BY HAROLD L- LUNDQUIST, D.

GOLDEN TEXT—Thou Shalt Iove Ure Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with, all thy soul, and with all thy m ind. ThIS is the first and great com m andm ent And the sec ond Is like unto I t Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.—M atthew 22:37.39. Our lesson presents a great judg ment scene—majestic, solemn, stir ring. Many confuse it with the judg ment of the Great White Throne in Revelation 20. But Matthew 25 is obviously the- judgment of nations (v. 32 ) for their treatment of Christ’s brethren (v. 40), a word referring primarily to Jews, but also spoken of in Matthew 12:48 -50. The lesson needs broader applica tion, however, so we suggest that we allow the more general princi ples of judgment occupy our at tention. We note that I. Judgment Divides (w. 31-33). The nations, coming before Christ when He shall have appeared in all His glory, shall find themselves sep arated into two groups on the basis of their treatment of the brethren of Christ. The fact that God has drawn a line of division down through all humanity and that each one of us is on one side or the other is not a doctrine which finds ready accept ance with modem thinking, but it is nonetheless a fact. No man established that division —God Himself did it, and did it in love. To some it may seem to be a hard saying, but it is not, for it comes from the lips of the gentle, loving Jesus. It is because He loved us enough to give Himself for us that any of us find ourselves on the side of that dividing line which assures us of eternal joy and blessedness. They who stand on the other side of the line do so because they have not accepted God's proffered salva tion in Christ Reader, where do you stand? n. Judgment Declares (w . 34-45). Our attitude toward God expresses itself in our attitude toward our fel low man. That which we do toward those about us is not a matter of indifference, but is the basis for God’s judgment of our lives. Each of us must answer for the deeds done in the flesh whether they be good or evil. That is true even of the be liever (H Cor. 5:10), whose salva tion has already been determined by his faith in Christ. Here in our lesson, however, the failure to do that which shows forth God’s law of love is made the ground of eternal judgment. This is not because an act of kindness itself can be regarded as the ground of division, but because the failure to give it or do it reflects an attitude of heart toward our God and His Christ, which is in reality a rejec tion of Etis way of salvation. Judgment is thus a revelation of the attitude of the heart; which marks a man or woman as being either saved or lost. It may be pos sible to so becloud the thinking of our friends and neighbors that we may go through life looking something like a Christian, but when Christ judges, it will all be revealed to us. Notice the importance of a proper attitude toward those who need our kindness and help. All too often the only concern of men and women is to look out for “number one” and let the rest of the world shift for itself. Observe also that the Lord iden tifies Himself with His brethren— what is done to and for them is counted as done to and for Him. Compare the experience of Samuel (I Sam. 8 :7 ) and of Paul (Acts 9:5). Touch God’s people and you touch Him. Fail them and you fail Him. Serve them and you serve Him. In . Judgment Determines (v. 46 ). Yes, God’s judgment determines eternal destiny. Life eternal, or everlasting punishment, which shall it be? That is determined by God’s final word of judgment, but remem ber that He judges in accordance with the attitude of heart and action of life on this side of the grave. Now, for that matter, is a part of eternity, and it is consequently of great importance that we are right with both God and man now if we expect to be right throughout eter nity. ' We need to face this truth of judg ment with complete candor and hon est heart-searching. We agree with Dr. Douglass that '“we must stand with awful concern before this sol emn truth. Do not hesitate to teach this because it is contrary to the current of modem thinking or shock ing to confront. It needs to be faced in a brave spirit of realism. (As a teacher) you will do your pupils, a great disservice if you try to shield them from the grim implications of this truth.” Yes, and also if you keep from them the glorious prospect of eternal joy in the presence of God. The law of life is the law of love—love for God, and for Jesus Christ whom He hath sent to be our Redeemer, and love for His brethren. That law of love rules even in the day of judg ment.

To keep patent leather pro tected, rub on vaseline regularly, wiping away any excess with a soft cloth. Baste with dark thread on light materials and light thread on dark. The lines will be easier to follow. Prolong the life of substitute elastics by giving them frequent washings. Don’t rub and scrub, but squeeze them gently through warm rich suds.

Marshall ous, fraternal, Industrial and labor ,groups pledged uustinting support. Secretary of War Stimson expressed his gratitude to the Red Cross for dis charging itB responsibilities to the Army "with efficiency and humanity” throughout the war.. Chief of Staff General 'Marshall add ed: “The Red Cross has kept pace with the growth of the Army by enlarging its services to meet soldier needs both In this country and overseas.” Secretary of the Navy James T, For rests!, citing Red Cross war contribu tions of blood plasma, prisoner of war food packages and civilian war aid, said, "In the blackness of war, the Red Cross stands as a beacon of mercy of which we can all be proud. Never has money been put to better use.” Admiral Ernest J. King, commander- in-chief of the United States fleet, pointed out that “every time the Red Cross assists a man In the armed forces In any way. There can be no doubt that Uie humanitarian activities of the American Red Cross have a direct bearing on the outcome of the war.” Both the American Newspaper Pub lishers Association and the National Editorial Association’s presidents prom ised complete cooperation from the American press. Among groups endorsing the War Fund are: AMERICAN LEGION: "The Red Cross has exemplified the fine, tradi tional spirit of American helpfulness. The approach of the postwar recon struction period will not lessen the calls for Red Cross services.” AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LA BOR: "We are determined that the AdnkKlng bers knows that the Red Cross Is. con stantly at that loved one’s or friend's side in his time of need.” AMERICAN FARM BUREAU FED ERATION: "Such vital Red Cross pro grams as home nursing, nutrition, dis aster relief and other helpful activities during recent years have combined closely to identify this national organ ization with rural life In America. The American Farm Bureau Federation .. urges every member to give it whole hearted support through the organiza tion’s) local chapters.” FEDERAL COUNCIL OF CHURCH ES: "It Is obvious that the world situa tion at the present time will make greater demands upon Red Cross than ever before. We commend to the churches of the various communions In the United States the appeal tor the American Red Cross War Fund in 1945.' NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS: "American busi nessmen stand ready to assist in every way. possible the American Red Cross In its fund raising efforts.” NATIONAL CATHOLIC WELFARE CONFERENCE: "The great worth of the American Red Cross has become more obvious as the war develops and as our fighting men testify. Gladly, therefore, we recommend every gener osity on the part of the American peo ple in tbe 1945 campaign.. . . ” CENTRAL CONFERENCE OF AMERICAN RABBIS: "The Red Cross is the most appealing philanthropic cause before the American people to day.

JitttK U t Stymie Law On V-Day, when fighting ends and the peoples of a plundered world begin shouting their joy and grati tude in a thousand tongues, aerial bombs and floating mines are going to seem pretty cheap. AU treacher ous and destructive machines wiU appear in their right light again. Their values will show as minus quantities. Then slow, cautious men will set to work getting rid of them. But there are instruments of war more treacherous than floating mines, more ruinous than any block buster ever devised. UncleSamwill have one of these on his hands when war ends unless Congress does something about it It is trained on American factories and farms now, ready to start a bombardment on Armistice Day and nothing can elim inate the serious menace but new legislation. Congress Can Save. The United States has a law against progress. It was not enacted to stop scientific and industrial development but, if it stays on Uie statute books in peace time, even for a short while, it will be a govern ment freeze of creative work. It was passed five years ago to raise money for national defense and keep war-mongers from profiteering on the misfortunes of other people. I am not criticiing the purposes of the act. America had to rajpe revenue quickly for defense, and right thinking people did not want to see a new crop of war-lords en riched with blood-money. Just the same, there ought to be a new act, worded to take effect on the day of victory, repealing certain provisions in the 1940 tax law which are war measures, ruinous to any people at peace. KUIs New Business. - The sense of Uie law is this: Add up all the profit a firm made In four pre-war years, 1936-1939 inclusive; figure 88% of the total and call it a sample pre-war year's profit. If a corporation earns more than that in any year of war, it must pay the government 85% of the difference hi a special tax. Small business concerns can’t grow if the law stands. ReaUy big corporations can escape being dev astated. Some will want to expand further and can’t, but they can stay big. Here is why: by percentage, not much of a giant corporation’s business is ever new business; its profits (however big) grow slowly. Sman firms, not so. What wUl be the net result? Servfee to Humanity. Thrifty UtUe enterprises like you and I might form wul be paralyed. They can’t expand because their dol lars of increased profit will be split two ways, ISc to keep, and 88c for the government. Many will die, as losses on development of new prod ucts wipe out their meager capital. Huge firms, which have no heed for substantial growth, can develop new products with no risk to their strong financial position. A big company’s losses at new developments can be used to reduce taxes on profits from old business. In this way, government pays more than four-fifths of such losses fbr big concerns. It must be remembered, however, that big corporations are too few to solve the nation’s post war employment problem. Small companies employ more than 80% of the nation’s workers. They handle the lion’s share of our national income. What their em ployees eat makes farm prosperity. It these little firms see a chance to earn a profit, they will get ready for peace . . . new business and new jobs in large numbers. But if until V-Day they remain scared to ex pand, America is stymied and so is the world.

A quotation says: "Without sal. ary, food, extra clothing, or purse, 10,000 Mohammedan students in the University of Cairo, Egypt, are preparing to go out Fith the sole purpose of tearing down the Cross and erecting the Crescent in its place. They will do this for a false and dead prophet. Clergy and laity of America, awake! What faith and sincerity are yon showing in the Christ, the Son of the true God, who is alive ever more?” While multitudes of professed Christians in America are indiffer ent, careless, sleepy, and living far beneath their privileges in the Gos pel of our Lord Jesus Christ; and 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 church door; and while we have billions of doilars to finance this horrible war, killing and slaying humanit j , ann billions to spend for beer, liquor, tobacco, the wicked movies, and for needless luxuries and burtfnl indulgences, failing to lift up the Cross of Christ and His banner of trutn, salvation and ho liness, there are ten thousand Mo hammedan students, noor and nee dy, a ad no doubt suffering for the actual necessities of life, so mneh interested and enthused over their false religion, and a dead, false prophet, that they go forth to de nounce, reject and tear down the Cross of Christ, which is in oppo- siiion 10 their religion, until we should be ashamed of ourselves and feel wretched as a nation, with the Gospel and Cross of Christ, which is the only wav of salvation, vet so indifferent. May Ood have mer cy upon us. Is it not high time ror ns to a- wake and get busy for God. We often wonder why it is that people are so zeatous over a false religion, or a false doctrine, and yet people with the real truth, the true relig ion of Jesus Christ, and the doc trine that is pure, yet' so indiffer ent toward getting it across to their fellbwmen. They sleep and slum ber, fail to watch and pray, and give only a pittance toward the spread of the Gospel in its purity and power and the salvation of precious souls. We wonder why it is, do you? Mav God stir our hearts to great activity for His cause and kingdom. Multitudesare perishing without Christ. Do you not care? False religions are sprea. ding over the earth, and do you not care?

Southern Railway Is A- warded Certificate of Merit The Southern Railway System has again been awarded the certi ficate of merit given by "Wartime Advertising A wares” for a . news paper advertising campaign “con tributing to the welfare,, secnrity and activity of the nation at war." The Southern received a similar award in March, 1944. In this connection two of the Southern's newspaper advertise ments were seiected to be included in "the hundred outstanding war time advertisements of 1944" by the Jury of Awards. They are the advertisements headed, "There’s a Fighting Fleet, too,” and “The Boss.” Signed by Ernest E. Norris, pre sident of the Southern, the prize- winning advertisements emphasize the contribution railway employes are making to the war effort by their devotion to their jobs—thus speeding the day of victory by “keeping the wheels rolling under the most important transportation load in all the long history of the Sont hern.” Mr. Norris explains in one of the prize-winning advertisements that the Southern’s "fighting fleets" of freight trains are loaded with guns, jeeps, tanks, planes, a'nd munitions of every sort; with the raw mater, ials to make more; with food, coal, oil and clothes; with everything needed by a nation at war. “Our ‘fleets’ of passenger trains are carrying troops in solid train- loads towards the war trouts; men and women in uniform going back home on precious furlough, trips; and government officials and civil ians traveling on essential war bus iness,” he adds. “Our No I job today is to help feed and clothe and arm and trans port ‘The Boss’—America’s fight ing forces,” Mr. Norris states in the other prize winning advertise ment.” "And the 30,000 menaud women of the Southern Railway System are proudly doing their job. They’re doing it right too, for we know what 'The Boss’ is doing tor us.” EverlastiQg Peace We hear a lot. of talk about last ing peace, made bv man. If we believe God, we don’t believe that any man or set of men can make a asting peace. Peace will never exist unani mously until Jesus appears on the scene. TherehvsaIwavsbeenwars and there alwavs will be. Just as long as this present world stands there will be wars. There is going to be a world of peace, but it will not he rnied by the piesent rnlers, When the world of peate co nes, Jesus will be the ruler, and everybody that dwells in that'new world of peace will be pure as God can make, I think it very foolish to talk a- hout an everlasting peace here in this world Impossible There mav be times of peace, as far as our nation not being in war, but this old world will be at war until the second coming of Jesus Christ; Noifsandands about it God’s word says “ When they say peace and safety, then comes sudden destruction ” Which will we believe, God’s words or the words of sinful men?

Letter From Harmony Dear Friends:—In reading the newspapers for the past three years,- we have seen many pictures and messages of our American boys kil. led or missing in action. Some mother’s boy. It may be yours, it could be mine. A soul has gone into eternity, a heart is sad and broken for a loved one that is gone, gone, all because of war. When are the Christian people going to wake up to the fact that we need to pray more and more for those precious boys who aro giving their lives that we might have the privi lege of open Bibles and open church doors, where we may go and wor ship the God of Heaven to the die. tates of our own conscience! We as Christians should fall on our fa ccs before God and pray uutil God answers prayer Only God knows what those boys are going tbrou. It makes mv heart ache when I think of their suffering. Have you ever been hungry or thirsty? Have you been in muddv fox holes and on bloody battle fields with bullets flying aronnd and bombs falling near? They have. Isn’t it time to pray? I say yes! Our boys are asking for prayer. We have re ceived Ietteis from boys overseas and their plea has been, “Pray for us. We are praying, for onlv God can undertake in this awful bell on earth.” God answered prayer in days gone by for the wars between the countries and He will do the same today. He is the same God that heard Gideon’s prayer, and David’s prayer If God conld cause the sun to stand still for Josh 11a to win a battle, can’t He answer prayer today? • The God that de livered Ganiel from the liod’s den and the three Hebrew boys from the fiery fnrnance can deliver our boys from their enemies. Dear readtr, if you were in some boy’s place on Ibe battle field, would yon want him or some one to pray for you? "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." Let us pray. If we let go the ropes on the home front our boys will go down. Aaron and Hur held np Moses’ hands un til the battle wa« won. Christians, let’s hold our - brave boys np in orayer while they are fighting and Old Glory is waving high. “Dear God stand beside them and euide them throngh this night of war and bring them saflev home to me,” is the prayer of many hearts. We have a list of hoys for whom we are praying. Won’t you join ns in prayer?” “If ye ask anything in my name I will do it." Isn't that promise enough? MRS. H. R.

He has to be to defend him self against the fox, the ra t, the snake, the w ildcat and the hunter’s gun, to m ention only a few of his enem ies. But for w ildness and alertness, for certain uncanny m ethods of defense and self-protection, not even the elusive quail can m atch the w ild turkey. W ith so m any sports either re stricted or in tem porary doubt, your correspondent de cided to m ake a closer study of one of the w orld’s g reat est gam e birds, in the role of an am a teu r naturalist, not a hunter. In either case the results are usually the sam e, so fa r as any depletion of wild turkey life is concerned. I’ll give you just one exam ple. The w ild turkey ranges from 16 to 24 pounds. Coming tow ard you, he looks a trifle larg er th an a B-29. B ut try to see him w herever he lights. I happened to be guided by a noted and expert w ild-turkey hunter, and we saw a big gobbler fly into the sw am p less than 20 yards aw ay from w here we stood. Y et he suddenly dis appeared from sight, although he w as still in the spot th a t he h ad selected as his landing field. F o r over 10 m inutes, from our close observation point, th e guide and I tried to spot this huge specim en. We could never see him , a fter he lit in the sw am py underbrush. A trifle later on, another big gob bler, w eighing over 20 pounds, lit in a tall G eorgia pine. Spot, the keen eyed guide, then gave m e a na ture lesson. As you m ay or m ay not know, a tall pine runs up to a leafy cluster a t the top. Real Camouflage “ I’d like to show you,” Spot said, “the greatest cam ouflage in nature. As you know, a quail is sm all and alw ays hard to see in thick sage or any form of cover. B ut the quail is a sm all bird. The turkey is big and black. I’d like to tak e you to a place right underneath th at pine and see if you tell m e w here th a t big turkey is.” We slipped quietly to the trunk of the tree. I looked for a t least 10 m in utes and could see nothing—nothing except the top of a pine tree. Y et I had w atched th at turkey light and I knew just about w here he w as. A t this point I turned to Spot who has the eyes of four haw ks. “W here is h e?” I asked. “I haven’t found him yet,” the guide said. “ Y et I know w ithin 4 feet of w here be lit.” Finally Spot said—“ T here he is.” H e pointed directly. I still couldn’t see him , although m ore th an 20 pounds of bird w ere in m y direct vision. Spot laughed. “ Dont w orry about th at,” he said, “I’ve lived in these woods and sw am ps m ost of m y life. T here have been m any tim es w hen I ’ve seen a wild turkey light in the top of a pine and m arked his land ing spot w ithin 2 or 3 feet. Y et I’ve often stood under th at tre e for over 20 m inutes and then disgustedly w alked aw ay. I ju st couldn’t locate the bird. It doesn’t sound right, but th a t’s the w ay it is. T here is som e sort of a blend th a t a wild turkey has w ith n ature th at keeps him alive. T here a re thousands of wild turkeys down this w ay and if it w asn’t for this color protection there wouldn’t be any left.” Keen Hearing, Too I also discovered th a t the wild tu r key’s hearing is an incredible thing. We w ere stalking a flock of 20 tu r keys, about 200 yards aw ay. E leven of these w ere feeding. The 12th w as on guard. “ One of the older brood turkeys,” Spot said. “ They keep w atch over the flock.” A few secohds later, w hen w e w ere close to 180 y ard s aw ay, I happened to step on a sm all tw ig. In a split second the lead or guard ing turkey w as on his w ay and the others followed. ' A w ild turkey can fly or ra n . H e can ru n alm ost as fast as a dog. And he can m ove through the air. B ut above all he can see and h ear and he can hide him self and his 20 pounds in 2 feet of young grass. H e is, to m y m ind, our g reatest gam e bird. H e is sm art, gam e, cun ning and tough. One w ild turkey down this w ay found him self in a nest of five tam e turkeys and killed o r m aim ed them all. H ere w as fur th e r proof th a t w hile civilization h as its certain points, it leads to softness and not to the survival of th e fittest.• • # Baseball’s Prospects H ere is a statem ent from a well- know n sports official who is close to the W ashington picture: “I ’m convinced th a t no one in authority a t W ashington is going to order baseball stopped.

TH E LAST W EEK LESSON TEXT—M atthew 21:6*16. GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed is he that Com eth In the nam e of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest—M atthew 21:9. The official presentation of Him self to the Jewish people as their King, their rejection of Him and, what was even more solemnly mean ingful, His rejection of the Hebrew nation because of their unbelief- such are the stirring events which face us as we go with our Lord into the last week of His earthly minis try. The first event In that sequence is the one we study in our lesson for today, namely, the coming of the King to Jerusalem. I. Preparation and Presentation (w. 6, 7). The King comes, but even in His hour of royal triumph He gives to His followers the unexplainable but inestimable joy of meeting His need. 1. “The Disciples Did As Jesus Appointed” (v. 6). He had need of disciples who would do His bidding without question or hesitation. How precious is such obedience! Let us also go and do what He commands. He needed the colt and the ass. How simple and lowly was that need, and yet how glorious that man was ready to meet it! God’s plans are worked out in the little things as well as the great. Prophecy was being fulfilled here (see v. 5) by a little thing. Is God waiting to carry out some great pur pose through some little thing which you are withholding from Him? Why hinder Him any longer? 2 . “And He Sat Thereon” (v. 7). Though He did not come with the pomp and trappings of an earthly potentate, the King of Glory came to His people to offer them for the last time the opportunity to receive Him. He asks you to yield your life to His kingship. Whatwillyouranswer be? H. Acceptance and Rejection (w . 8-11, 15, 16). I. “The Multitude . . . Cried . . .. Hosanna” (w . 8-11). The fact that before the week was over some of the same voices cried, “Crucify him!” should not obscure the fact that there were childlike believers (v. 16) who really had faith in Christ. There is something inspiring about that picture of enthusiasm and de votion. Real faith in Christ ought to result in a fervor of spirit which will stir ow hearts and our cities. Are we not altogether too dead and formal in much of our worship to day? Do we not need more holy enthusiasm for Christ and for His Church? 2 . “The Chief Priests and Scrihes . . . Were Sore Displeased” (w. 15, 16). Small wonder, for not only had the children put them to open shame by recognizing the Christ whom they had ignored, but He had also ruined their polite religious “racket” which produced for them such a lovely profit. Mark this—when anyone is dis pleased with Jesus or with His chil dren or with His work on earth, you can be sure that there is a reason, and not a holy, upright or good rea son either! I I I . Judgment and Compassion (w . 12-14). What a remarkable picture! In the midst of flaming judgment and destruction we find His loving com passion upon the blind and the lame. Folk who think that Christ has no message but love need to look on Him as He cleanses the temple. On the other hand, those who think that He has no word but judgment need to behold Him as He stands in the midst of the overturned tables and debris and heals the needy. 1. “Jesus Cast Out . . . and Over threw” (vv. 12,13). Heknewwhere to begin to cleanse the city. He started in the temple. Absolutely right is the man who suggested that the place to start to clean up a city is not in the slums but in the churches. You will not be ready to clean out the tavern or that other low place where the gang hangs out in your town until you have cleaned out the church if sin . is being harbored there.The same is true of the individual. A regenerated heart will bring a reformed life, not vice versa. You can live only after you have been born. 2 . “He Healed Them” (v. 14). The very hands which had just over thrown the tables and cast out the money-changers now gently touched the lame and the blind with healing. The eyes which had blazed with holy indignation now shone with love and compassion. The scene of judgment and chaos became the house of prayer and of answered prayer. On the very spot where one man had received condemnation, another re ceived healing. Each one received that which He sought by his own attitude and action. How will you, my dear reader, meet Jesus—as your Judge or as your Sa viour? You must make the choice. Choose Christ today.

Lest We Forget On the monument of a great man wbo died in the service of bis coun try as President of the United States, is tbe following inscription The then President’s quotation will live forever'in the minds of all tbe people of tbis country and should be taught our school children: •'Let us ever remember that our inteiests are in CONCORD, NOT CONFLICT, and that our real emi nence rests on tbe victories of peace, not those of war. WILLIAM McKINLEY.’ • Very few people are aware of the words of that great statesman When this war is won and we are again in the world of peace and freedom, too many of us may think that war ^lone make nations great Ivet us-then turn to tbe late Presi dent’s words and keep them In mind. No love among men In this world is greater than the loveof a soldier for bis buddie Our boys on the battle fronts are carrying that doc. trine to tbe people of the world; Upon tbeir return home let us be grateful for their doing as they have, and try and forget war as tb% soldier himself does.

Atk vow ntiphoorl D oans Pills HOW HALSET BOMBED FILIPINOS A dm . WUliam F . “ Bull” H alsey tells this dram atic story about the invasion of Luzon. “Ju st before we w ent into Lu zon, I called all the Filipino stew ards and m essboys on m y flagship to gether. I showed them a m ap of Luzon and pointed out the Japanese positions th at M acA rthur had told m e not to shell for fear of hurting som e Filipino civilians. “I told them th at the only w ay to get the Jap s out would be to shell these key points. “One of the m essboys stepped for w ard and said that the m arked-out positions included his hom e. I asked him if he thought we should shell it. “ ‘Is th a t the only w ay to get the Jap s out?’ he asked m e. I replied th a t it was. “ ‘Then if you don’t m ind, sir,’ the m essboy told m e, ‘shoot the so- an-so’s out to hell.’ “W e shelled those defenses, we killed a few Filipinos, but we got all the Jap s.”• • » ARMT SPEED UP Senators studying the m ilitary pic ture have learned th a t the arm y ground forces com m and has been quietly cutting down on the training given to infantrym en before going into front-line action. Infantrymen are now some times being shipped overseas without any advanced training. Some now find themselves in the front line only six months after having donned uniform. It is still longer than the average in the last war, however. Mean while, men are being yanked out of the air corps and services of supply and transferred to the in fantry. Already supposed to be well-seasoned, they get an addi tional seven weeks’ training and are then moved ontside the country as replacements. One new departure from practice in the last w ar is th a t few divi sions have been w ithdraw n from action in their entirety for a thor ough rest. Instead, once a division is in the line, it receives replace m ents, N it no real vacation, for m onths. C ongressm en returning from the w ar front have criticized this policy to arm y higher-ups. G eneral B radley has tried to m ove green divisions into relative ly quiet sectors for seasoning, but his intelligence hasn’t alw ays been able to gauge w hat the enem y con siders a quiet sector. LABOR MANAGEMENT The scene is the lobby of Wash ington’s' fashionable Mayflower hotel. A modest, businesslike, gray-haired man walks over to the house phone, picks it up. “Room 633,” he says, and then after a brief pause. “Eric, this is Bill, shall I come up?” The conversation is between the representatives of two one time bitter foes, AFL Bill Green and the U. S. Chamber of Com merce Eric Johnston, preparing to spend an evening together dis cussing the mutual problems of labor and management. When Johnston first became president of the C. S. chamber, he imme diately called on Green and Phil Murray, suggesting closer co operation in the public interest. They have been good friends ever since. FRANCE AND THE BIG THREE Those who sat a t Roosevelt’s elbow during the Y alta conference give a new slant to the reasons why sensitive G eneral De G aulle w as not invited to join the big three. They say th a t neither the P resident nor P rim e M inister C hurchill had any objection to De G aulle’s presence, but felt ra th e r neutral about it. Stalin w as the m an who opposed it. Stalin, according to those return ing from Y alta, pointed out th a t this w as to be prim arily a m ilitary con ference and F rance w as only play ing a m inor role in the w ar. Since the Big Three w ere bearing the m ain brunt of the w ar, Stalin said he saw no point in having De G aulle sit in on a conference concerned largely w ith m ilitary strategy. The R ussian w ar chief w as quite definite and repeated the point th at if the Y alta conference w ere con cerned prim arily w ith political and econom ic postw ar problem s, it would be different. B ut w hen m ili ta ry m atters w ere being discussed, he just didn’t w ant De Gaulle around. Then to clinch his view s, Stalin recalled th at F rance surrendered to G erm any early in the w ar, and re fused to turn over the F rench fleet to the B ritish as p er treaty. CAPITAL CH AFF C.

Indication of What Is to Come 400 MlUS ; SH A N G H A I CHINA jr s a & v m A ~ SEA^~~~ HOW' 300 MIlES Minuecr MClHC O C M NCHINA S As marines wipe out Jap airfields within 750 miles of Tokyo on Iwo, the clearing of Manila bay for American ships continues and pattern- of two-way thrust on Nippon grow; steadily clearer. Some observers con sider the thrust up from Iwo to be the quick way, but others insist the smash must come from the South China coast and Formosa. Many ob servers seem to think that all indications are that tbe Japanese islands will be conquered before attempting direct eombat in Asia. Dragon’s Teeth Prove No Barrier Infantrymen of the 90th V. S. division demolish part of tbe dragon’s teeth, of the Siegfried line in Habscheid, Geripany, as they move to the front. Most of the barriers were made of reinforced concrete, but had little effect on the forward march of American troops. TNT and new tank guns were able to dear the way without great difficulty.

W/NKLE GOES TO WAR& / T H E O D O R E P R A T T THE STORY THUS FA R: Forty-Ionr- ycar-old W ilbert Winkle, who operate* a repair shop in the alley hack of hi* home, b notified by hi* draft board that Iic is In 1-A. He breaks the bad new* to domineering wife, Amy, who now hates to part with him . M r. W inkle I* sent to Camp SQUibb, a thousand mile* from home, where he m eets M r. Tinker, a man of his own age who w ants to avenge a brother killed a t M idway. After graduating from M otor M echanlos school, Mr. Winkle goes hom e on a fur lough. Amy hardly knows him , and his dog, Penelope, barks a t him furiously. A short tim e after returning to cam p both Mr. Winkle and MrJ Tinker are en route for a point of em barkation. C H AFTEB X Between M r. T inker and the ir reducible fact th a t they w ere actu ally off to one of th e various w ars going on, M r. W inkle didn’t sleep much that first night. H e lay there precariously on the edge of the berth trying to adjust him self to the situa tion and regretting a little th a t he had net taken the chance of getting out of the A rm y w hen he h ad the opportunity. TIiis w as, as the saying w ent, it. This was w hat he had train ed for. He was going to w here b attles w ere being fought. H e w as going to help iight them . The realization struck him so forcibly th a t he nearly fell out of the berth, especially w hen Mr. Tinker gave him an ex tra hard push. Then, again, he endeavored to look on the bright side of it. He w as a hardened soldier, w asn’t he? Well, m aybe not hard, b u t w ith plenty of preparation. The additional m onths as a m em ber of a service com pany had brought the confidence of experience. They had brought a C orporal’s stripes, and finally those of a full- fledged Sergeant. H e and M r. Tink- W.N.U. RELEASE The day they didn’t stop, but kept right on m arching up th e gang plank and on to the ship, he felt be trayed, cheated and fooled. er were a team , it having been found that M r. T inker w as good a t the heavier w ork, w hile he supplied a lit tle m ore skill a t figuring it out. He couldn’t overlook the d ram a of it, either. H ere they w ere, several hundred m en in a special train, rushing to an unknovfa destination to save the nation. H e knew th at crack stream liners w ere sidetracked for them . E verything m ade w ay for them. E ven if you w ere hurrying to risk your life, th a t gave you a sense of im portance- He fell asleep on this thought, dream ing th a t he w as sinking in wide w aters and th a t he grasped a t a tiny straw to save him self. Mr. W inkle expected to be m arched right on a ship a s soon as they reached their .em barkation port two days later. B ut th ere seem ed to be no such hu rry as th a t which had brought them here. They w ere given physical exam i nations, th eir equipm ent w as in spected, and orders w ere issued to keep th eir canteens filled to the mouth. Thus readied, they w ere assem bled one m orning and m arched out through an entrance in the brick wall. They m ade th eir w ay along a road a t the side of the harbor, in which m any ships, all painted an in different gray, w ere m oored. M r. W inkle had never seen a re a l ship before, and w as im pressed w ith their size. H e w ondered w hich w ould be theirs. They w ere called to a h a lt beside the high w all of one of the larg er vessels. O rders w ere shouted. To his am azem ent and relief, they started m arching back again to the staging area. This h ad been m erely p rac tice. 1 The m an next to him said, “ T hat w as a close one.” E ach day a fte r th a t they w ent through the sam e process. The third tim e it w as repeated th ere w ere com plaints. E v e n ' M r. W inkle asked these questions and cam e not to believe in any of the m arches to the ship. H e took it for g ranted th a t each tim e be arrayed him self in his full equip m ent and sw eated to the pier th a t he w ould tu rn right around again and com e back. • Ti!le ^ ay tlleJr di<ln't stop, b u t kept rig h t on m arching, up the gang plank and on to the ship, he felt betrayed, cheated and fooled. To M r. Tinker a t his side he ob served, “ W ell, I guess w e’ve burned our gangplanks behind us.” M r. Tinker stared a t him , scowl- m g to get his m eaning. Though he didn t know the tru e quotation, he appeared to find som ething w rong w ith M r. W inkle’s version, or a t least w ith the w ay he spoke. “ W hat’s the m atter, Pop?” he asked. “ You seasick already?” M ore m en poured on to . the ship, and still m ore m arched along the pier tow ard her. M r. W inkle, M r. T inker and ten others w ere shown below to th eir private stateroom . In stead of bunks, a large cabin had been stripped of its beds and other luxurious furnishings and canvas ham m ocks slung in tiers of three from a wooden fram ew ork. M r. W inkle drew one of the top ham m ocks, so close to the ceiling th a t it m ade him feel like a fly sticking there. They stow ed their g ear and investigated the quarters. One of the m en opened a door and stood, frozen in his tracks. “ Com e here,” he said in a n aw ed voice, “ and see if you see w hat I’m looking a t.” They crow ded around him , peer ing over his shoulders, and saw a gleam ing bathroom . “ Holy cow !” another m an cried. “ A in’t our suite sw eet?” The ship would be totally blacked out a t night, w hich m eant no sm ok ing on deck. No cigarette butt or scrap of pa p e r w as to be throw n overboard lest it leave a tra il w hich could be fol lowed. In case the ship w as h it and had to be abandoned, they w ere to slide dow n landing nets w hich would be low ered, and not jum p overboard. If a m an fell overboard, the ship could not risk stopping to pick him up. T hese instructions caused no evi dent alarm . N orm ally, M r. W inkle should have had an acute attack of im agination rig h t then and there. B ut it didn’t com e, as it hadn’t late ly in the learning th a t a g reat and solicitous m other, the A rm y, looked after his every interest. A ll he had to do w as to tru st it, obey orders, and, m ost im portant of all, keep his m outh shut. The ship sailed th a t night w hile som e of them w ere asleep and som e of them w ere still adjusting their bodies to the ham m ocks. M r. Win kle, listening, h eard the deep throb of the engines. H e put his hand against the ceiling and felt a thrum m ing there. The sm ell of oil becam e stronger. A low, sleepy m urm uring cam e from other m en. A forw ard m ovem ent becam e perceptible. T h at w as all. No one spoke. If the others had A m ys of their own to think about—and he knew a few of them had—they kept their thoughts, as he did, to them selves. In the m orning they w ere a t sea. T heir own and dozens of other ships scratched a glassy m irro r w ith con tinual, untired zigzags. The convoy stretched into th e distance as fa r as the eye could see. A t its outer edges they could m ake out destroyers and other w arcraft,-w hich k ept up a w or ried pacing back and forth, in and out, and som etim es around in w ide sw eeps and circles. It w as heartening to see them and their fellow troopships. Though they knew th a t death was® possible any instant from the sky o r from be n eath the w ater, it seem ed ju st as im possible th at anything could touch them . , ..Soldiers were everywhere on the ship, the last inch of space being crowded with them. If they had lit tle privacy before, they had none now. It was barely possible to step anywhere without walking on some body, or putting your foot into the middle of a crap game. Som ehow they m anaged to m ove around, for the m ost p a rt good-na turedly. M r. W inkle m arveled a t w hat he and other m en had been conditioned to stand. H e began to have a respect for the extent th at m an w ould let him self be abused for the opportunity of traveling a long w ay to get killed. D espite its in convenience and tragedy, there w as a decided elem ent of joy in w ar. The favorite pastim e, w hile stand ing o r sitting on deck, or leaning against the rail, w as speculating on w here they w ere going.“Australia,” was proposed, “and I aim to see one of them kangaroos jumping around with her kid in her pocket.” “No, sir,” another differed. “ If it was Australia, they’d told us. M y cousin went out there last year and he knew from the time he left. H e ain’t seen any kangaroos yet, but he says the people there are hep-cats who cook with gas.” “ The Solom ons,” a th ird m an said. “W e took them over, didn’t we? W e’re being sen t out to hold them . I had it straig h t firom the top kick—” “ Som ething tells m e,” another m an interrupted, “ w e’re going to be dropped off in H aw aii. I alw ays w anted to go there, and now is it.” H e w as hooted dow n on the basis th a t no such luck could be theirs. I t w as Sergeant W inkle’s consid ered opinion th a t they w ere going to N ew G uinea. . “ W hat they got there, Pop?” he. w as asked. “ W hat’s your.book say?” “ C annibals," he told them . H e thought his guidebook h ad said that. “ M e," said M r. Tinker, “ I don’t care w here it is ju st so there’s Jap s.” On the fourth day, w hile sitting on the deck w ith his back against the rail, M r. W inkle nearly jum ped out of his life belt w hen there w as a loud explosion forw ard. H e w as lurching to his feet and had reached a crouching position be fore he realized th a t the gun crew s w ere holding firing practice. H e sank back down again, seeing other m en following suit. The guns kept on chattering, send ing up shells to b u rst high in the a ir a t different levels. F ro m the other ships they could see the sam e practice going on. It w as fascinating to w atch, and the noise and sm ell of burning gunpow der added to their sense of security. In the m idst of the rack et M r. W inkle w as startled to h e ar his nam e being called. “H i, P op!” Looking up, he saw Freddie Tin dall. In baric of him w ere Jac k and several m ore of th e original Spring- ville contingent. “H ello, M r. W inkle,” Jac k greeted him . The boy’s eyes tw inkled, and he spoke as if they w ere m eeting casually on M aple Avenue. “ T his," said M r. W inkle, strug gling to his feet, “is quite a place to have a reunion.” They held it, nevertheless, in the m iddle of the Pacific O cean, pum p ing one another’s hands and yelling above the noise of- the guns. F red die cried, “W e’ve got m ore than this! H ey, A lphabet! A lphabet!” In a m om ent th e w izened little Sergeant pushed his w ay down the deck. The first thing he saw w as M r. W inkle’s stripes w ith the “T ” below them . W ithout raising his voice, but still m aking him self heard, he lectured: “ I been in the A rm y eighteen years. .You been in eight m onths, and you ra te w ith m e. W e ain’t go ing to w in no w ar th a t w ay. And look w hat I got in m y m achine-gun crew . H im ," he pointed a t Jack, “ and him ,” he indicated Freddie. “ AU they can do is outshoot any of them guys w orking them pum p-guns The convoy stretched into the dis tance fa r a s you could see. up there. W here do you think w e’re headed for, P op?” M r. W inkle’s reply w as lost in the blast of the an tiaircraft guns. “ A ustralia!” Jac k yeUed. “N ew Z ealand!" Freddie shouted., “I told you it w as India,” the Al phabet said. “I had it straig h t from an officer a s the One-A low dow n. . . ” M r. W inkle saw th a t Sergeant C zeideskrow ski had becom e one of them and, w hat w as m ore, they had becom e one With him . H e w as w arm ed by this, and th a t the others w ere on the ship w ith him . It seem ed to m ake it still safer, and the sea sm oother and even m ore peaceful. Y et StUl it w asn’t quite th e thing about w ar he sensed and for w hich he continued to search. T here w as a stir am ong the ships of the convoy. M essages w ere exchanged by blinker and flags. M r. W inkle’s ship and five supply vessels began to tak e e rra tia courses. I t seem ed as if som ething w as go ing to happen a fte r all, th at a sub m arine h ad been detected. The m en lining th e rails, w atched and held th eir breaths. M aneuvering sm oothly, the six ships detached them selves from the m ain body of the convoy, setting off a t a n angle to it. A t the sam e tim e three destroyers rode in th e sam e direction, herding them . Deep- throated w histles said goodby. It w as clear now th a t they w ere going on a m ission of th eir own. R u m or ra n like fire through the ship. Ih e y w ere a special task force. An u rgent call h ad com e for them from som e harassed point. P lan s had been changed. L and w as soon to-be sighted.

C., asked me to write a poem on the death of her baby, giving me tbe following facts on which to write: "Three years ago God took a sweet little babe out of our home,” she says, “ When the little one was brought home from the hos DitaI where she had been taken when she was taken sick, my hus band took our three-year-old little girl upon his knees and told her that little TettieJiad gone to live with Jesus, and if she would be good she could go and live with them some day. The thoughts of going to live in Heaven with Jesus and little sister was such a comfort to her that she never shed a' tear, although sbe loved the babv very dearly, Death and the grave had no terror for her, as she looked on the grave as being the gateway to Heaven. When she caught me with a sad expression on my face she would hurry to my side and say, “ Mama, don’t worry, for we are going to live with Jesus and little Jettie some day.” Jesus is so real to her that she says He goes with her, but she can’t see Him. ‘ She very often asks me to tell her about Jesus, for she says that is the swee. test stoty she has ever heard. This little girl is now six years old, and she can tell more about Jesus than many grown np people, for He is real to her." In resoonse to the request of Sis ter Caudle I have written the fol lowing poem and dedicate it to her, to Mr. Caudle and the little girl; and may God bless it to their com fort and to the encouragement of our readers: LITTLE JETTIB. Our little Jettie’s gone away From home and loved ones deat, To be with Jesus in the land Where no one sheds a tear; And where no sickness ever comes, No death nor sad goodbye; For such is .Heaven sweet we know Beyond the starry skies. ’Twas sad to see her go away Because we loved her so; And though she can't return to us, Some day to her we’ll go; And there upon tbe golden strand We’ll sing the victor’s song, And ptaise the Prince of Peace and Life While ages roll along. She was 10 us a darling babe, A shining tittle light, A lovely sunbeam in the home Thot made our pathway bright; And tho' we see her face no more That was so fair and sweet, We thank our God tb2t some blest day In heaven we shall meet. The little sister left behind Has heard the story told Of how tbe blessed Saviour brings The lambs into His fold, Therefore she looks bevond tbe grave . To Jesus on the throne. And thinks of meeting Jettie ibere Where none shall weep and moan.

Vandenburg, Repnbliean of Michigan, has announced that he has accepted President Roosevelt’s invitation to become a delegate to the world security conference in 'San Francisco, which will get under way Aprll 25 with some 44 nations of tbe world represented. He makes the third Republican on the American delegation of seven, the others being ' Commander Harold Stassen, of Minnesota, and Con gressman Eaton, of New Jersey, the ranking Republican on the House foreign affairs committee. Tbe Michigan senator—easily one of the outstanding members of the United States and one of tbe ablest to ever sit in that body—said he made his decision after “an ex change of cordial and satisfactory personal letters with thePresident.” This exchange clarified “my right of free action action.” The Presi dent assured him he would attend” with no strings attached,” with mind oped and free to act as he pleased. As a delegate, Vandenberg said I wish to do everything within my power to establish a practical sys tem of collective peace ” “I am frank to say,” Vanderi- berg said in a formal statement that my chief anxiety about the tentative Dumbarton Oaks formula is that, except in its brief world court chapter, it does not once men tion 'justice’ as a guilding ob]ec tive or a rule of conduct. "In my opinion, no permanent peace is possible without a consci ous mandate to seek and maintain 'justice’ as the basic of peace. I shall have concrete proposal to sub mit to mv colleagues al< ng these lines. It will be my prayer that the San Francisco conference may be successful in promoting dependable peace, with organized justice, in a free world of free men. Civiliza tion cannot survive World War Na 3. The letter exchange between Vandenberg and Mrs. Roosevelt co. incided with word that tbe White House has asked Vice President Truman to serve as' a liaison with the Senate to clear the wav for fa. vorable action on tbe forthcoming treaties. ' From A Davie Matfne m Albemarle Folks Find Load of Wood is Costly A number of Albemarle persons learned Iaet week the value of a load of wood and the lesson was painful. The story of one victim is that a man came unto his place of business, asked if it would like to buy a load of wood, which was on his truck ou - side. Knowing that good oak tire- wood is scarce those davs, the vie tim said he would, and. at the sel ler’s-suggestion, paid for the wood, with instruction to unliad it at his home. The money alreadv passed, - the load of wood never made its appear- ance at the buyet’s home.

March 9. Dear Editor: — A letter from a Davie County soldier who is some where in France. I just finished reading two copies of my Davie Record. Just like a letter from home. I like to read about boys in the service that I know, but T don't care to read where some one is griping about standing in line for a show ticket. I stand in a lon ger line than that for chow The people back home live in tbe land of milk and boney and don’t know it. I have been away for a year now—not too long.. But I begin to want to see Davie again. I have four times been hit. but never hurt bad. I want you to continue your good work practicing and boosting the true democracy for which we are fighting. Tell the people back home to cheer up. These poor sons of Hitler will go down in defeat, then we can all come back home to our loved ones. If you should need any money so you can keep sending me The Record, just go to my dad with that hungry look on . our face and he will pay np my bill without one bit of hesitation. From a friend, PPC.

COMING COAL CRISIS President Roosevelt got back from his notable achievem ents a t Y alta to find serious problem s aw aiting him a t hom e, particularly on the la bor front. Som e of his advisers felt, '■■■ how ever, th at these problem s, espe cially the coal crisis, could have been averted by beginning to pre p are for it earlier and by appointing a new secretary of labor. The P resident left for ,Y alta al m ost im m ediately after Kis inaugu ration. And, up until a day or two before his inauguration, he had not m ade up his m ind w hat'to do about appointing a' new secretary of labor. In the end, he did nothing and M iss Perkins continued, "despite her very firm desire to resign. M eanwhile, various m oves could have been m ade to head off the coal crisis. One of, them , discussed in the background but never brought forw ard, is an annual w age for m in ers. If the m iners knew they would be able to w ork all the y ear around, especially in peace tim es when they have been laid off for about one- third of the tim e, they m ight forego w age increases now. A nother m ove, proposed back stage, w as to appoint coal m ine representatives on local OPA boards to m ake sure the cost of living did not go up, or if so, under circum stances they understood. But the m ost im portant m ove w as to have appointed a new secretary of labor, w ith a new, fresh outlook, untarnished pres tige, who could have tackled the job firsthand, and, if necessary, gone out to the m ining areas to m eet w ith the m iners them selves. No one is looking for this thankless job. B ut senate col leagues say the one m an who could do it, if willing, would be forthright, fair-m inded Senator H arley Kilgore, who com es from the g reat coal state of W est V ir ginia, is known and trusted by labor but also would not hesitate to oppose labor w hen it is w rong. * * *' FARM BLOC FUNCTIONS Som etim es the congressional farm bloc feels its oats to such an extent th a t it dem onstrates its pow er just for the fun of it. T hat w as w hat happened w hen the house passed the Flannagan resolution — which does nothing m ore than say th a t congress considers a law it passed tw o years earlier still should be observed. This law is the Tydings am endm ent to the Selective Service act which pro vides for the deferm ent of farm ' w orkers. The house spent several hours trying to decide w hether it should pass the new resolution, even though everyone knew it would go through. H ard-hitting congressm en like Ed Izac of California, Gene W orley of Texas, and Ew ing Thom ason of Tex as pointed out th a t all the resolution did w as rem ind the nation th at 340,- 000 m en from 18 to 25—the age group the arm y w ants m ost for fight ing—are being denied the arm y. E l P aso’s Thom ason declared his support for the Tydings am endm ent, but said he saw no reason to pass further legislation on the subject. San Diego’s Izac, a w ounded and decorated lieutenant com m ander in the last w ar, cam e out against the Tydings am endm ent. “If we turn this resolution down, m aybe the senate w ill have back bone enough to throw out all legisla tion th a t interferes w ith the w inning of the w ar,” Izac continued. “The 340,000 boys on the farm are no m ore precious to their fathers and m others than are the other boys who have been taken aw ay and a re now serving in the arm y and the navy.” A fter several hours of debate, how ever, the house passed the resolution by a voice vote, but not before the author of th e res olution, John FIannagan of Vir ginia, w as called upon to define w hat he m eant by an “ agricul- - tu ral occupation.” R epublican C ongressm an CIason of Spring field, M ass., w as afraid the w ords m ight be interpreted as referring only to m en growing ir handling crops.

Neglect Schoolboys B aseball, y e ar after year, has gone to sleep in this im portant de velopm ent—and this includes base ball’s B ig T hree. These three have run the gam e ably in o ther respects. B ut 'th e y have all fallen down on building up and bringing baseball to the kids from th e ages of 12 to 16, m any, m any thousands of w hom would ra th e r play baseball th an any other gam e, but rarely get the chance. Crowded cities—lack of space— lack of any help or cooperation on the p a rt of baseball leaders—these have all figured in the decay of the gam e’s • so-called “ grass roots.” They have either forgotten all about the kids, or else they have been too shortsighted to face the m ajor prob lem of the gam e. The new com m issioner m ust be one who can rebuild baseball for the kids—and th a t w ill be his m ost im portant job. It w ill be a job no one in baseball has even approached, barring the few places I have m en tioned. T here a re m illions of kids who would like to play baseball—who never have the chance. And any one w ith a half g rain of intelligence knows th a t if a kid from 12 to 15 y ears old doesn’t have th e chance to play baseball, he w ill n ever get anyw here in the gam e. . Football is different. Xou can take a husky young fellow around 18 or 19 who never saw a football and turn him into a great tackle or a great guard. Especially if he is big and fast. Xou can’t do that with a base ball player—or a golfer. The great baseball players come up as kids— who played the game. The great golfers came up as caddies—Hagen, Sarazen, Ouimet, Nelson, Hogan, Chick Evans, Goodman, McSpaden, Johnny Farrell, Harry Cooper. Must Start Early B aseball and golf are gam es you m ust learn in early youth. Football can be picked up la te r on. Golf has been given a big break. B aseball hasn’t. I don’t care w hether the new com m issioner is Jim F arley, E d g ar Hoo v er or Ford F rick—o r som e one else who has the respect of the ballplay e rs and the spectators. AU I know is th a t his first job w til be to or ganize a new youth m ovem ent for basebaU, w hich (outside of P itts burgh, D etroit and in certain loca tions w here the A m erican Legion has been an active sponsor) h as been alm ost com pletely overlooked, al though the tw o big leagues have each contributed $20,000 to th is fund. C ertainly th ere has been no help from the tw o-m ajor le a g u e so u tsid e " of this contribution and U ttle help from any of the m inors. In many big cities, it must be admitted there is Uttle room left where the kids can play—except along cobblestone streets or those haunted by automobUes. But there is stiU space enough left in the Unit ed States to give boys from 12 to 16 a chance to play basebaU. It is stiU a national crime that ont of 100,000 18-year-old boys called to the draft, over 25,000 are turned' back as physicaUy unfit. B ut it is a difficult m a tte r to get anyone interested in this problem . A rm y and navy say they a re too busy trying to w in a w ar to bother about the situation.

W inkle and M s friend, M r. Tinker, are sent to a point of em barkation. Soon they find them selves on the M gh seas, In a M g convoy. They m eet som e of their friends aboard and a re encouraged. CHAPTER XI At lunch time they were at last told where they were going. Nothing was said about the main convoy. Prom the beginning it had been planned to send them to the island; of Talizo, one of the steppingstones In the retrieving of certain precious . !tones stolen by the Japanese when Ao one was looking.The south end of the fifty-mile-long Island had been captured by American forces, along with an airfield conveniently just completed by the Taps, who still held the northern half Cf Talizo. They would land some time the next morning. !Mr. Winkle searched In his guide book for the entry under Talizo. To It was hot on land after the sea as they marched through town. his satisfaction he found that the is* land had cannibals. It was, in fact, noted for them. Late that afternoon a collection of dark dots came out of the sinking 6un ahead of them. The gun crews of their own and the other ships sprang to their stations, alert and tense. But soon word was passed about that these were their own planes, come to protect them in that most dangerous of all times, dusk on the sea. No enemy, from under, on, or over the sea appeared either Jjjayiight or at dawn when the pkOies remroed to take up their vigil and escort the convoy to port. ^ v Land, now made out boldlyV'.was seen to be a low-fyingjshore; reach ing up abruptly to a towering volcan ic mountain ridge running along the far side of Talizo. It was a scene of such beauty as to be very nearly unreal. As they approached closer, here and there the white wisp of a waterfall could be seen throwing, it-, self down from the mountain jun gles and disappearing into the thick green growth below. That war and the killing'and maiming of men could exist on Ihis peaceful looking island did not seem credible.Looking at it, all you wanted to do. was to land here, among the palm: trees on the white sandy shore and spend the rest of your life. Mr. Winkle and his several thou sand companions gazed at it with awe and wonderment. The island was almost the thing for which Mr. Winkle searched, and he wondered if he would find it here. Mr. Winkle’s impression of land ing was not one of danger, but of fascination.. '•/Their troopship was the first ves sel through the mine field and the' opening made by a small tug draw ing back the boom of the submarine net. Almost before the afiohor wdsf down in the harbor, landing nets were being thrown over the sides of the ship and boats lowered.They climbed down-, packing them selves in the lifeboats. ; Three of these, tied together,' were, pulled by a to one of the piers. The men stared at a half-sunken, supply ship they passed. Some of them identified shore batteries placed on- either point of the harbor. It was hot on land, after the sea, as they marched through the town. Passing by the thatched huts, they saw that most of them were vhcant. Only here and there were they occu pied by brown-skinned people whose large dark eyes gazed at them apa thetically. A few of them were girls dad in a simple garment of printed cloth which left one shoulder bare and outlined the rest of their slim bodies to their'knees. “Whadda you kfiow?”'- breathed Mr. Tinker. “Whadda yotrknow?” “Now, now,” cautioned Mr. Win kle. “We’re here to protect them, that’s all.” “Sure,” said Mr. Tinker. “Sure.” He twisted his head, to keep in sight as long as he could what he looked forward to protecting. On the far side of the village the jungle began, a monstrous growth of palms, lianas, bushes, vivid flowers, breadfruit trees, and banana plants. Into this they marched along a nar row white shell road that threw up heat in nearly suffocating waves. They began to sweat They came to a tent so deverly camouflaged that they failed to make it all out at once. It was painted the exact color of the vegetation. Limbs of trees grew-over its roof. Nets, to which branches were at tached and sprayed a permanent green, covered it in other places. Thejungle was honeycombed with such tents, some of them small, some of them large enough to house a small circus. Again Mr. Winkle felt safe. He told himself nothing could happen to him in such a hid den installation. He had half-expect ed to make a landing amidst a hail of bullets and exploding bombs. At their first meal in the mess tent they tasted new foods, potato like taro, papaya, and wild chicken. Mr. Tinker spat most of them out and took to what he called civilized dishes also provided; Mr. Winkle swallowed them, if not with relish, at least with, pleasure in their proving how ,definitely he was on a tropic island.The newcomers were asked such a barrage of questions that they had little chance to put any of their own. The few they managed, to get in were mostly answered with a lifting of the shoulders. One man jerked his thumb toward the north and said, “We’re just sitting each other out.” The Messrs. Winkle and Tinker reported; to one of the shops, where Mr. Tinker was open-mouthed at the equipment and Mt; Winkle was im pressed. Trucks, reconnaissance and com mand cars,- and jeeps and peeps were driven into spacious tents which held as complete equipment as to be found at home. The canvas sides were rolled up for ventilation, giving them a pleasant air of being outdoors. The familiar smell of oiled machinery and carbon monoxide fumes reached their nostrils. These perfumes were more hear^ning than the sweet, curious odors of the jungle with which they competed. Men like themseives, trained^ps they had been, following tne same procedures, labored .over the vehi cles, one of whichhad .-its entire rear end missing as if it had been tom off with a violent hand. - The men looked up, gazing idly, curious ly, or with interest at the newcom ers. Onfy once did they pause In their quick, deft attentions to the motors. A radio, abruptly turned on, buzzed and crackled for a mo ment, and then- from it came the clear, assured announcement “This is Qie United States, of .'America. “- The men went still for an instant, taking it in.' They glanced at each other and some of them smiled brief ly, almost shyly. As the short-wave program went on, giving the news from Koine,, they returned to work with aii ,added zest. Mr. Winlde couldn’t suppress a tingle thkt;%ent through him and a choking in his. throat. It quieted the queasy feeling in his stomach. ..It made him lbiow that the jungie 'of Talizo, at least this part of it and more to come, was the.U. S. A. v Wheni a mail went out, Mr. Winkle was allowed to write only the barest information to Amy. He refrained from saying, much for the double reason of living up to the censorship regulations and not caring tofright en her. He omitted certain things .,he discovered in his paradise, such as malaria, dysentery, white ants with a pincers attack worse than any war maneuver ever conceived, aim mosquitoes so profuse that a net over the bed served only to trap them inside where they could concen trate their attack. . It must, he thought, be enough of a streiin for Amy not.even to know where he was beyond the fact that he was in the South Seas area. He kept to the cheery things, such' as the taste of roasted wild pig, and the crawfish^ shrimp, and prawns. He-described the flowers, and dwelt on the hibiscus, which he thought went better with the tropics than- arfything else. He told her about the parrots and cockatoos of the jun- £gle, and how-the air was-.fiUe# ^vith the color of flashing wings,-r jc." He said there were no cannibals about just then, but he hoped even tually to see one. He described-, war as being nothing at all like , what he bad expected, and assured her that he would be back some day. “No Jap bullet has-my-name on it,' he wrote. Hepondered on whether or not he should leave this in. It was boast ing a:littlerfor he had-yet to hear a shot fired on either side. In the end he let tbe statement go, deciding it was reassuring more than anything else. And .he didn’t want to give her the impression that he really wasn’t in the war. M t. Tinker was-in it so little that he didn’t think much of Talizo as a battleground. When a truck was brought in with a few bullet holes through its body, it was a matter of some curiosity. And the bullets.had been fired sq far away that the ac tual fighting seemed remote and un? real. They saw nothing of the enemy and heard nothing of him. There were so few evidences of his exist ence that they were hardly worth while. Even the two cots in their tent hadn’t been vacated by dead men, but by men who had contract ed tropic fever and been sent home. The native girls ran when Mr. Tinlc- er made approaches; they didn't' trust any human being in a sol dier’s uniform.All in all, Mr. Tinker was very much disgusted. He said he might as well be home working at his plumbing, and he told Mr. Winkle he might.as well be home in his shop. Mr. Winkle, on the other hand, could not conceal from himself the fact that he was pleased. He breathed easier, thinking that if this, was all there was to it, it wasn’t so bad. To the north, he knew, lay the airfield and the main part of the American forces of occupation. And farther on there was jungle fighting where men stalked each other through the undergrowth and sniped from the trees. But this was not his business, and he came into con tact with none of those whose affair it was. Mr. Tinker hoped to be sent north on some mission. “It’s the only way I can .see for me to get me my Jap,” he said. Mr. Winkle didn’t understand how Jie could expect this. “You’d be on other duty,” he pointed out. “Not all the time I won’t,” Mr, Tinker said. “You wouldn’t tell any body,” he pleaded, “if I went off for a while, would you, Pop?” “You won’t do any such thing,” Mr. Winkle scolded. Mr. Tinker remained silent, look ing glum but determined. Mr. Tinker had only contempt for the south tip of the island, to which he and Mr. Winkle were sent sev eral times to rescue vehicles in dif ficulties. He could hope to find no Japs there. The shore was lined with American machine-gun fox holes, and it was'here that the Al phabet, to his chagrin, was sta tioned. Sergeant Czeideskrowski and his crew, including Freddie and Jack, agreed with Mr.' Tinker about their part in the war. Nothing, they felt, Would happen in the portion giveirto them. They had come thousands of miles to sit-and .watch and wait for action that would never materialize. They — with Mr. Winkle — over looked the fact that when you are in a war you are in a war. Awakened early one morning, Mr. Winkle and Mt. Tinker were told to -report to the orderly tent on the double-quick. Their Commanding Officer looked grim when he told them “Hop in a jeep and get down, to Post Number Nine; Repair a com- Mr. Winkle was allowed to writs oidy the barest information to Amy, mand car you’ll find there and bring it back. Don’t waste any time. There’s mist off the shore. Any thing can come out of it.” Mr. Winkle’s heart leaped as he saluted with Mr.^Tmker ^and hur ried out. ; . “Something,” said Mr. Tinker, “is up.” Mt. Winkle was very much afraid that this might be so. “Nine,” he said. “That’s the Alphabet,” At the motor park tent they found the men on duty there had thq same tense attitude. ,“Xou’d better take some extra cartridge clips,’’: they were told. These were given to them. ■■■.?. Ji- '/They drove out. Mr.''WSttfcfe didn’t like the extra cartridge clips, but he did feel better to have rifles slung alongside the bouncing car. When they reached the road run ning south along the shore, they saw the mist. Between hillocks oi the beach ridge they could make It out standing like a wall several hun dred yards offshore, mysterious, dangerous^ unreasonable. ' It made Mr. Tinker enthusiastic, “The Japs know we’re about ready to push them in the face in the north,” he held. “Mebbe they’ll take this chance.”, ^ - (TO.BE CONTINUED) --------------IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI CHOOL L esson BY HABOLD L- LUNDQtTIST.

THE AUTHOR AND PERFECTEflI OF OUR FAITH ■ ; . XJSSSON TEXT—M atthew 27:62-28:9.’ " , -GOLDEN TEXT—L et us run with pa tience tbe rac e that Is set before us, IooIdng unto Jesus th e author and perfecter of our faith.—Hebrews 12:1. 2. Christianity is a resurrection faithl How good it is to recall that, in this troubled year of 1945, even as we share once more the spiritual in spiration of Easter Sunday. Today we recall that the loving hands of His friends' and followers had given themselves in what they thought was to be their final act of devotion to their . Lord. “His body had been tenderly laid, in Joseph’s tomb and the great stone rolled in place at its door. • But even as some were kind and losing, there were others who were eo relentless in their hatred that they pursued Qirist even beyond the grave. I. The Hatred of Christ’s Enemies(27 :62 -66). We sometimes wonder at the bitterness of the enemies of Christian ity in our day. Had we given more earnest heed to the Bible story we should have known that it was so from the very beginning. The wicked men who . brought about the crucifixion of JesiiS were not content to let Him rest In His grave. They had lusted after His life and they had taken that, but even as He lay silent in the tomb, the priests and the Pharisees came to Pilate and called Him “that de ceiver” (v. 63) and demanded a spe cial guard. They feared that His disciples would perpetrate a fraud, and after stealing the body declare that He was risen. - Wicked and deceitful hearts can imagine all sorts of treachery on, the part of others. The hatred of unbelievers toward Christ and toward His followers knows no stopping place. Bi civil ized lands and among cultured peo ple it operates under a cloak of re spectability, but it is nonetheless bitter and relentless'in its pursuit of Him and of His church. IR The Victory of Christ (28 :1-6). Victory and praise should be the keynote of Christianity. Why should we be doleful and sad? Our Lord has come back victorious from the grave! We may be glad and sing even in the midst of earth’s sor rows and distresses. Let praise ba the employ of our lips constantly as we worship Him and work for Him. , The picture that greeted the sur prised eyes of the two women as they came to the grave, as it began to dawn on the first day of the week, was one resplendent with the glory and majesty of God. The earth quaked as the lightning flashed. The angel of the Lord broke through the supposedly unbreakable seal of Rome and rolled back the stone which was to have permanently closed the door to the tomb. This was done, not to release Christ—for He had already gone, no grave could hold Him—but that men might see the empty grave and know that He was risen. Other religions keep the graves of their founders. Christianity points to an empty tomb. To the foes of Qirist represented by the keepers, the coming of the angel and the revelation of the pow er of God brought absolute discpm- fiture. That is still true. Men will argue with theology, church meth ods, even Christian profession, but when they see the power of God re vealed, they can only be “as dead men.” To the friends of Christ, the angel 'brought comfort and assurance. Their fears were assuaged by his word of comfort, and then their faith was revived by the assurance that Christ was risen. The resurrection declares that He is the Son of God with power, the Saviour of the world. III. The Joy of Christ’s Disciples (28 :7-9). The followers of Christ had their share of fear and unbelief, but it was quickly overcome by joy and assurance as they knew that their Lord was risen. The note of great joy Is highly appropriate on Easter Sunday, but just as proper on every Sunday— yes, every day of the Christian’s life. He is risen from the dead! That settles all questions about His deity, His power, His salvation. It meets the problems of our lives with an unfailing word of confidence and joy. Be sure to note that such good news must not be kept to ourselves. We should emulate the zeal of the disciples, who “departed .quickly” to make it known to their families and friends. The story of the victorious Saviour is still unknown to many thousands—possibly we should, say millions. Let someone depart quick ly to tell them of Jesus. And don’t forget to ask yourself, “Should that someone be met”Jesus met them on the way with a greeting of peace. He loves to fellowship with His people as they go on His errands. You will find Him there awaiting your coming.

Try Ut VEGEIRBtE ★ ★ ★ "-k . ie: ★ - ir ’ ★ F1* f Heuseeots ’ t e e Stew and Dumplings Are a Point-SaYer (See Recipes Below) Meat Magic In 1944 the average civilian ate 143 pounds of meat. This year the outlook per civilian is estimated at about 134 pounds per person. It doesn’t take much mental'arith metic to make us see that we’ll be doing with less meat this year than before—but then, you’ve prob ably already no ticed that trend at your butcher's. As a n ation we’re greater pork eaters than beef eaters, says a recent survey made by the govern ment, but that will have to 'change at least for this year. Pork loins, hams, shoulders, spareribs and ba con will continue to be scarce. The higher grades of beef are going to the armed forces, while lower grades of beef, though not abundant, will be more abundant. Veal supplies are quite scqifce as are the' top grades of lamb' All of .this means one thing for Mrs. America. She will get less meat, and if she wants to get meaty flavor it will have to be stretched. If she doesn’t do that, she will have a few meals with meat and others without. There are good ways to stretch meat — old-fashioned ways like dumplings, bread dressings and stuffings, rice, macaroni, noodles and spaghetti. For those of you who choose having meat "as is” in your menus, there are delightful fish dishes to fill in the days when meat is unobtainable. When you want those precious red points to do the most work fi^krou, buy the low-point cuts and cness them up with herbs, flavorful gravies and colorful' vegetables. Here’s a lineup of recipes you’il well appre ciate these days: 4Lamb Stew With Dumplings. (Serves 6) 2 pounds lamb 2 tablespoons flour Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons lard 6 small potatoes 6 carrots 6 small onions I cnp water Cut lamb breast, flank or neck meat into Vk inch cubes. Dredge in flour, then brown well on all sides In hot lard. Sea son, add water and simmer Vk hours. Add vege tables. Cover and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. Drop dumplings on top of mea't and vege tables. Cover and cook without re moving lid for IS minutes. Dumplings. 2 cups sifted flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons lard I egg About % cnp milk Lynn Says: Meat Needs Stretching: Bread and cracker crumbs are natural for extending ground meats like lamb, beef, pork or veal. Use for meat loaves and patties. Vegetables should start coming into their own for stretching stews, short ribs, roasts, etc. Carrots, onions, potatoes, green beans, tomatoes and cabbage are all mighty fine. Don’t neglect such dishes as meat pies with biscuit or mashed potato crusts. The meat mixture may be extended with gravy and vegetables. Make surprise meat balls with rice tucked inside. Or, stretch the roast or braised meat with noodles and rich gravy. Spaghetti and macaroni make a meal complete even if only a little meat is used. Use cream sauces with diced egg, seasoned tomato sauce or tasty gravy.

Top with vegeta bles and add the water. C o v e r tightly and cook slowly until both liver and vegeta bles are tender. Beef and pork liv er require 45 min utes cooking-time while.Iamb and veal liver need 30 minutes. Whenever it’s possible; use a com bination of veal, pork and beef in your meat loaves. In the following recipe, the tastiness is increased by using sour cream, prepared mus tard, paprika and Worcestershire sauce. Lemon juice adds piquancy to the meat when used, while brown sugar gives a bit of sweetening that you will enjoy.' Use a large sized loaf pan for baking or shape into loaf when baking in a utility pan. Spicy Meat Loaf.

What passed for inspira tion with him was observation— watching what actually happens, filming only what could happen. We were in the living room of. his Bel-Air home, looking through the window at golfers passing on the course a hundred yards distant. I’d gone up to welcome him back from England. I wanted to hear how the Hitchcock technique had been ap plied to propaganda pictures he di rected over there. He started right off by saying that one of these pictures wasn’t propa ganda at all. “ ‘Bon Voyage,* ” he explained, ‘.‘was just a way of say ing thanks to the French people 'and the underground for all they’d risked in helping so many of our ,boys escape during the occupation. It’s a three-reel feature that tells the true story of the escape of an English flier - and -assistance, given ,him.” , ! „ “ ‘Bon Voyage,’ ” he said pride- fully, "was well received.” '• The English government did a mighty intelligent thing getting this “master of suspense” over to direct it. Just Carit Miss Hitch’s new picture is the much. talked-of “Spellbound,” with .Greg ory Peck' making love tolngrid Bergman, mystery, suspense, psy chiatry, fantastic sets by Salvador Dali, and music by the symphony composer and conductor MikIos Rozsa. Hitch has his own theory about music. He gets a celebrated com poser to write music for him just so he can stop it. But just why, sir, do you get all that expensive music just to stop it? “You’ve seen people in danger?? asks Hitch. “People at some high point of tension? Let’s do a scene: We’re sitting in this room talking, when bang) just like that a bur glar enters and points a gun at us. “We freeze. We don’t move or breathe. Certainly we don’t talk. At any dramatic moment like this there comes a hush. Whenffiedanger is over everybody starts jabbering. It’s a - release to talk, they talk louder, laugh louder. "So in a psychological mystery there are appropriate intervals at which I want the music dramat ically stopped—with a hush! "Only ‘Spellbound’ isn’t just a mystery story. It’s a love story. There’s nothing unusual about it. It’s based on truth, psychiatric truth.” “What about 'Foieign Correspond ent’ and ‘Lifeboat’?” I asked. "Same thing. In ‘Foreign Corre spondent’ it was a man hammering away at events, and the woman didn’t help things. There isn’t any thing in there that couldn’t happen, ‘Lifeboat’ is the same way.” Some More Plans “After ‘Spellbound,* what?” I wanted to know. “ ‘Notorious,’ ” he said. “Just fin ished working an the script with Ben Hecht.” Then he went on to tell what a great guy Ben is. Says they collab orate so well that dialog becomes a kind of verbal shorthand, almost mental telepathy. Hitch feels his pictures are fin ished the day shooting begins. He says from then on it’s a matter of interpreting what has been created, and that it’s possible to get into the finished film only about 75 per cent of what the mind has pictured. Lt a world where 6 foot invisible rabbits can star in Broadway shows and in which the true story of an English flier’s escape from occupied France furnishes material for a Hitchcock chiller I can believe that there is nothing unusual in a Hitch cock picturer-nothing, that is,- ex cept the-flair of the man who makes N o, F ans D on’t F o rg et . ,,>!, Robert Cummings, who’s .doing “You Came Along” for Hal Wallis, says actors who are'In the service don't need, tq worry about keeping their fans.

You Can Grow Your Own Tomato Plants —Photo Oonrtesy Fenr-Ilam SMd CXX Why not start your own tomato plants from seed Jndoon Ota apring? K t one of the surest ways to get fruits of the quality you really JikA Buy a packet of seed, gather your materials together, and get to work about six or eight weeks before time to set the plants outdoors In the gardao. U you want a fairly large number of plants, use a shallow box or flat in whieh to aow the seeds. Many home gardeners who need only a comparatively small num ber of plants find a ten-inch clay flower pot convenient. Fill the con tainer with fine soil to within one-half Incb of the top. Shake the seed from the packet as evenly as possible over th» surface. Scatter fine soil over the seeds to a depth of about one-quarter lndi. Firm the soil with the flat of your hand. Cut several layers of newspaper to fit the top of the fiat or clay pot Seep the paper well soaked with water. Erery day or so lift the paper and peek in for signs of life. Remove it as soon as the seedlings begin to sprout Until the seedlings appear, the flat or pot can be placed anywhere In a room of mod erate temperature. As soon as they do eome up, however, the container should be placed m a sunny window. See to it that the tender sprouts do not get chilled; take care that the sunshine does not overheat them. Keep the soil moist but not too wet The plants will probably come up thickly in the container. When the second pair of leaves appear, they should be transplanted to Hher flats or pots, as the case may be. In their new quarters they should stand one' and-a-half to two inches apart For a ten-inch pot this means about twelve plants. Avoid injuring the roots of the little plants by lifting them out gently with a slender knife blade or a pencil. In the second flat or pot make the holes deep enough and wide enough to take the roots without cramping. Firm the soil around the base of each trans planted seedling with your fingers. Let the plants continue to grow in a sunny window until time to set them out—about one to two weeks after all danger of frost is past Do not let them get chilled. Tum the containers around occasionally to allow all the plants to get equal light and sunshine. When it comes to selecting varieties— Bonny Best Butgers, and Marglobe are all excellent for eating fresh, for canning, and for juice. Earliana is a good choice if you are looking for early fruits. For a late variety Stone is a splendid standby. 20 CEATTS OF O&eK WOOL P O U A Z m o H W lf O N D S SO WE MVST TAK€ OAKS OF OVR FlEEC?' R e d C r o s s W a r F u n d H e a d E n lis ts F u ll P u b lic S u p p o r t WASHINGTON, D. C.—Urging each American citizen to consider the Red Cross as his personal emissary to his particular serviceman, Colby M. Ches ter, chairman ot the 1945 American Red Cross War Fund campaign, today asked all Americans to give to their tallest ability In support ot the 1945 national goal of {200,000,000. "Those ot us who must stay at home •nd fight by doing our daily tasks aa efficiently as possible," he said, “like to feel that though we are not beside Joha or Jlm or Bob on the battle field, we do have a personal ambassador In each of the ten thousand Red Cross workers now serving with the troops overseas.” Opening March I and continuing throughout the entire month, the third Red Cross War Fund will not only AU intensified needs on advancing war fronts, but will provide needed services to those who have returned from ac tion, their families, their buddies await ing transportation overseas, and their triends and neighbors at home in time ot natural or war-caused emergency. More than 3,000,000 volunteer solici tors stand ready to aid In local collec tions In every American community. Each will devote his time and effort toward reaching the goal so that men and women in military service will know the Red Cross "is staying right with them, right up to and beyond the day of peace and victory, Mr. Chester explained. Without personal gain or remunera< tion, the 3,000,000 men and women TOlt unteer canvassers will represent 3,756 Red Cross chapters throughout the na tion. Seeking from door to door those contributions which will not be made through factory, office, school or thea tre, each will carry an official identi fication card for the protection of the householder. For the most part how ever, such Identiflcatlon will be un necessary because the solicitor will be a neighbor or friend. To each contribu tor, he will give a red, white and blue window sticker bearing the well-known Red Cross emblem. 1945 Blum’s Almanacs Are Scarce Oa Account Of Paper Shortage I We have a limited supply which we aie giving I to all those who subscribe or renew their sub- I scriptions for one year.

S b aomewtog that needs the serious attention ot millions of I have Keafa Several intelligent people recently talk as if postwar planning might be something outside of their worn; a job for some mys terious committee of mental giants or supernatural beings. Actually, only a small part of postwar plan ning needs to be central planning. It is a job for us all and the sooner we start it the more promptly pros perity will follow peace. People who imagine they see ghosts are harmed as much by Ihem as if they really existed. Peoplewho get alarmed at a big undertaking and run away, from their part ot it, are in muoh the same class. Plan ning is for everybody with a job, every firm with a business, every family with a farm. Things are go ing to be different soon, and we will need to be ready. Millions Unemployed SpectreB of unemployment shaped In the smoke of war are soary enough to frightaa even the visard statisticians who know how to tame wild figures. Hiat street comer es timate: “30 million without Jpbs,” Is probably 25% high. America has 40 million people working now at jobs they can keep after the war. After the war, however, SB million will have to work if the nation prospers. The difference is 15 million. This many will come from our armed forces and from war baby indus tries; too many to be idle. Fewer job hunters than that made 1932 a very bad year. But (not counting the jobs that will die with the war) our industries are using 40 million people now and should use 55 mil lion in peacetime. It does not di vide exactly even, but.call it a gain of one man In four. Intelligent Guessing Men who won the war, men from uniform and men from munition plants, are returning to peacetime pursuits and we must have work for them. Anybody can plan on a one- man scale. The first step is for each of us In his own shop or of fice to figure out about three things that might happen to his business when peace comes. Then line up these "could be” postwar changes in 1-1-3 order, the most likely one first. Step No. 2 : Plan what’s best to do in each of the three cases. Try to make plans justify four work ers where three work now. Nobody can plan for you. Nobody knows your business like you do. When war ends, every man should have quick access to his own deliberate thinking, and be ready to welcome peace. It is an idea for small busi ness, but small firms normally em ploy 65% of America’s workers. E co n o m y in H ats A d d s W ar B onds No well-dressed woman can have too many of them.
