Fawcett, Justice of Su preme Coutt, State of New York, says: “My experience during 25 years on the bench in which time over 4,000 boys under 21 yeats ot age were convicted of crime before me, of wbom but three were mem bers of a Sunday school, has satis* fied me of the value of Sunday school, has satisfied me of the val ue of Sunday schools to the com munity. in helping safeguard it from the growth of criminals. My experience also satisfies me of their value to the individual. In one thousand and ninety two cases of suspended criminal sentences, in each of which a minister, priest or rabbi became interested, at my re quest, only sixty-two of the boys were brought back for violation of the conditions of the parole. I be !ieve the reform in the remaining cases (over 1,000J was prompt and permanent. In fact, I regard our Sunday schools, inciuding those of all faiths, as the only effective means to stem the rising tide of vice and crime among our youth. Society carries the heavy burden of criminality chiefly because of the lack of the religious traiaing of the youth. The youth cannot have a sound development of char acter, nor a fair American chance in life, without religion. In ad dition, it occurs to me, that every church should have some room set aside for a meeting place for the use of the boys in the evenings. It would keep them off the streets and away from temptatto.n. And I be lieve if the membees of the men’s dabs of the churches were to make a bouse-to.house canvass in their respective communities tor the pur pose of getting the boys and girls into Sunday schools, tremendous good would be accomplished Ev ery child is entitled to know God. Just as the Christian men and wo men of today are the real strength of our nation, so are the Sunday school boys and girls of today the hope of the future of our glorious country.’’ This statement of Justice Faw cett indeed sounds a mighty note to the homes and churches of A- merica today. If the youth of the nation are allowed to grow up in sin and wickedness, without home training, Sunday school and church influences, what will be the out come tomorrow? Crime is tremen dously alarming throughout the na tion now, but it is small to what it may be in the future if the child ren of this generation, and other generations, grow up without the blessing of Christian parents, their training, their prayers, and with out the moralizing and Christianiz ing influence of the Sunday school and church. Today millions of children and young people have no religious influence thrown around them. There is no family altar in the home. Parents are themselves unsaved. They do not attend church, neither do their children attend. As a consequence they go out on the Sabbath to gad about visit filling stations, beer joints, Ii quor stores, dance halls, swimming I tools, beaches, pleasure resorts, gambling dens, or to burn gas over the highways of the nation. How ever, the picture shows are packed and crowded with this same crowlj through the week, and in many places * n Sunday, where they set the evil*and wicked, worldly anti degrading and demoralizing side of life. Alas! Crime and wickednesl roll on and roll high. ! Everv child and youth of Amer| ica needs the Influence of the Sun day school, or the influence of godj- ly, Biblical parents, preachers and teachers. Ir is a deplorable sight to see the little handful of children young people and patents in many After The War . There are many things we’re go. lug to be interested in after the present war comes to an end, but we believe that outstanding among these is whether we are going to get our democratic form of govern, ment back again. Of course everybody realizes that during the present emergency, it was necessary to put some drastic changes into effect. Emergency war powers were bestowed upon the President; emergency war pow ers also were bestowed upon the Governor of North Carolina. Our one primary purpose has been to help win the war as quickly as pos sible With this constantly in mind, our people as a whole have co operated In wonderful fashion, even though thev have lost many of their rights and privileges. Our men on the fighting front lost many of theirs also, so why shouldn’t we? No one is complaining about that. With few excaptions, there has been general compliance with OPA, GDT, WLB1 end other regula. tions The general attitude toward the Government on the part of ev eryone has been: “You tell us what to do, and we’ll do it!’’ Fnt many people are wondering whether our present way of run ning things is going to continue af ter hostilities cease. Will we still be told wbat we can buy, how much we can buy and what we shall pay for it? Will we still be told when we can travel and when we shall have to stay at home? Will gov ernmental agencies continue to pre scribe how long a man’s shirt-tail shall be and out of what material his necktie shall be made? In oth. er words, will the government keep right on promulgating rules and regulations for us, or will we, as individuals, be able to assert our individual Tights? TbeJe are some who are in favor of continuing the socialistic trend. There are others who want to go back to the democratic form of government. It will be interesting to note which plan will be adopted. —The State1____________ Hits At Bureaucrats Senator Vanden berg, Republi- can of Michigan, said Sunday “We must pay just as much at tention to demobilizing the bureau crats” as to demobilizing the arm ed forces “if we are to win the war at home.’’ Vandenberg opened a round table discussion on the topic of “Lifting Government Controls. The program was sponsored by the American Federation of Labor. of our churches on Sunday, and then see them thronging the tbea tres through the week, or visiting every place of amusement and dev iltry they can find. Many of the churches are almost empty on Sun day while the community all around sleeps until a late hour, or visits, or listens to the ungodly programs over the air, or gads and frolics a- bout. No.wonder (he world is in the most horrible war of all history. When nations turn away from God they have to suffer and suffer for it. Unless the trend of worldh ness, sin and wickedness is check ed, and a mighty move made back to God, the family altar, the Bible, tha church and Sunday school, we are only facing a little of what is coming by way of punishment. When I see cbildten and young people who do not attend Sunday school I fear for what is coming upon them. Think again of what Justice Fawcett has said. He is giving actual facts and figures from his own experience of 23 yoars as judge upon the bench. He knows whereof he speaks. Of more than 4,000 boys as criminals whom he contacted, only three were mem. bers of a Sunday school. One Man Drive Cutting the Federal government down to peacetime size is the an nouncement aim of Senator Byrd of Virginia, who continues his long fight for economy. It has mainly been a losing fight. He is up against the present-day theory that the way to prosperity is to waste workers, money, goods and commodities. Facts and figures have been cited time and again to show that the Federal payroll is out of proportion to the need, but the Senator car rics the economy banner almost a lone. Others chime is now and then bnt generally his campaign is a one man affairs His voice is heard above the cla mor for more money to spend on the government, not less, for mounting debt and increasing ex penditures. It is not alone the Federal government that has em barked on this queer theory of eco nomics that the way to riches is extravagance; that one becomes prosperous by being a spendthrift. Some state, county and munici pal governments practice the same thing, on a smaller scale. Indivi duals joyfully embrace it. Thrift and prudence are becoming out moded virtues. There’s no fun in them under the modern urge to spread recklessly, waste willfully and let the taxpayers want woeful ly.—The Charlotte Observer. At Last Chester Bowles, boss of the OPA1 has at last admitted that he has made a serious mistake—in fact two. His biggest one was when his bureau promised that it would al wavs give proper advance notice when food ration stamps were to be cancelled In making this pro mise, Bowles said plainly: “We were wrong.’ Just how wrong was proved recently when OPA suddenly cancelled all outstanding red, blue, and sugar stamps. But this is the New Deal bamboozling the people and as they voted for it they should not kick. —Ex. Asks Clarification Senator Taft, Republican of Ohio, has demanded that the war depart ment clarify and state its policy on using 18-year old draftees with less than a years traiding in overseas combat.

Nonessential Federal Employes Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia, chairman of the Senate committee on non-essential expenditures, has been trying to get a line on why the Fed eral government is emplaying 3.400 - OOO civilian men and women in Fed eral jobs. He set out upon this inquiry by asking the War Manpower Commis sion for information. He was promp tly answered to the effect that this agency had no information that would shed light on the problem to the Senate committe. Senator Byrd then communicated with the Federal Civil Service com mission. He got the same answer from that official body. Finally he contacted the Federal Budget Bu reau and it too, replied that it could supply him with no worthwhile facta The determined and conscientious Virginia Senator, who has long worked hard and furious’y in behalf of economy in non-essential Federal expenditures, has at last fallen back upon his authority as chairman of this committee of the Senate to sum mon the heads of all three of these departments to testify orally before bis committee. Thisexoerience of Senator Byrd dramatizes the general condition of confu.ion and apparent lack of re sponsibility which exists within the ranks of the multiple bureaus in Washington. Senator Byrd is engaged in upon a vitally important enterprise in be half of the American people in his energetic effort to cut down waste ful extravagant and unnecessary Federal expenditures. Manifestly, he has the conviction that perhaps hundreds of thousands of Federal job-holders now being em ployed could be eliminated from the Federal government payrolls with out any impairment of the public service and with savings of millions of dollars to the taxpayers. It has been suggested also that at least 300,000 of these 3.400,000 em ployes of the government could be. and ought to be. engaged in some es sential war work instead of lolling a- round and loafing about in their pre sent easy but highly paid positions. One of the purposes of the pre* sent Byrd investigation is to ascer tain not only how much revenue is being wusted in maintaing such a large army of Federal employes on the payrolls but to what a- vast ex tent their political office holding con stitutes a sheer waste of manpower which he put to better use in the present emergency. Why should the heads of govern ment agencies profess to have so lit tle knowlege of facts as to the num ber of these Federal employes or as to their essential in their present po Iitical placeB? Wby should they make it so diffi cult for Senator Byrd and his com mittee to have the record and all the information which is needed in order to come to a wise and sane con clusion as to whether there is both a waste of manpower resources in keeping these hundrods of thousands men and women in the Federal ser vices? If 300.000 of them have been de ferred, why? Is whatever they are doing more essential to the war effort than if they were mere directly engaged in actual war work or if placed in uni form and sent into the military ser vice? Are those men and women classi fied as indispensible in running their official errands and holding soft po. sitions in government offices? Are (hey so important either in themselves or in the present positions that they are considered to bo unex pendable? Senator Byrd’s committee, acting in the public interest and striving to ward patriotic ends, is trying to find the answers to these answers to these pertinent questions. Why should the beads of Federal agencies try to make it so har for him.to find out what the facts are?— j Charlotte Observer. I The Record only $1-00. Seen Along Main Street By The Street Rambler.

There’s nothing tricky .about making them, and they are bound to whip up ration-worn appetites to new and interesting heights.

Joan Fontaine is one of those persons who never could be accused of being wishy-washy. She’s elec tric, giving off with dynamic im pulses, sometimes a sparkling posi tive, sometimes a crackling nega tive. Joan Fontaine is never neutral. When she’s angry she’s lightning in a summer storm, and just as dead ly; when she’s gay she’s a ver itable pinwheel on wheels. Exploded into the ranks of the screen’s first la dies back in 1939 with a haunting performance in “ The Women,’’ Joan has fre quently been a storm center, and ’most always town’s gossip conver sation piece. Joan, when she wants to be, can be a witch right out of “Macbeth.” She once said: “I express my feel ings by action. I have a frightful temper, and I can fly into rages about almost anything that gets on my nerves at any time of day or night.” S urprise, S u rprise! The big news of the moment is that she went through one whole pic ture without once losing her temper. That was “The Affairs of Susan,” for HaI Wallis at Paramount. Producer Wallis, a wise man (he must be—anyway he won 27 Oscars during a 10-year period), provided Joan with everything an actress could set her heart upon. She had not one but four leading men— George Brent, Dennis O’Keefe, Don De Fore, and Walter Abel. In the picture each of these men falls in love with her and wants to marry her. In “The Affairs of Susan” Joan played her first comedy role, and that scared her, she confided to me. Says I to her: “You’ve got one of the finest comedy directors in the business—Bill Setter. He knows more than many of our supposed big shots, whom he’s taught all they know, but can’t remember because their hats are now too high for them to balance the hat and the brain underneath ’em. So with Bill just let yourself go. He’ll carry the ball over the goal line, and you’ll get the credit.” She did, and now says, “I prefer comedy to those droopy roles I’ve been playing.” It’s C ontagious But it wasn’t always sweetness and light with Joan. On her last picture, The $4 ,000,000 “Frenchman’s Creek,” there was more than a little trouble between her and Arturo De Cordova, the technicolor pirate. Joan was very unhappy on that one, and when Joan’s unhappy every one within shouting and shooting range is apt to be unhappy, too. All due to a misunderstanding of the language. He apologized, she apologized, and they were friends again. Many of the reports circulated about Joan are pure malice. Joan just never bothers to answer back. “But I don’t let those things both er me any more,” she told me. "Aft er all, by this time they’ve said ev erything and written everything that could be said or written about me, so why explain anything?” Don’t Y ou B elieve It The Fontaine-De HavilIand “feud” rumors, for instance, are a part of the legion of legends about her. Joan contends there-isn’t any feud, never has'been one. “Why,” says she, “if" Livvy ever^needed help I’d be the first one she came to, and vice versa.” No, there is no feud, but the tact that she took the name Fontaine, and not Liwy’s made talk, as Joan knew it would. She wanted no one to write a story about Liwy’s baby sister, said she. “If I can’t win on my own, being tied to Liwy’s apron strings won’t help me. So what the heckl Just call me Joan Fontaine— or don’t call me.” . Regarding the reports that she has trouble with her directors she answers: “How’s any one going to undermine a Hitchcock or a Cukor or a Bill Setter? It’s ridiculous!” Joan is a determined person with a will of iron. If something comes up she disagrees with she just plants herself in the position she intends to maintain—and she maintains it.

By compari son a man would have to travel at 400 miles an hour to equal this? Some birds, especially the div ing varieties, can touch terrific speeds. The average speed a man reaches when diving from a height of about 60 feet is 40 miles an hour, whereas the loon, a diving bird, surprised by the flash of a gun, can dive before the shot reaches it. One naturalist stated that he had timed birds to dive under water before the pellets from a gun peppered the surface.

PLO T ON H ITLER Those whose business it is to study the intricate problem of G er m an politics have now com e to the conclusion th at if it hadn’t been for the July 20 putsch against H itler, we m ight have been saved six m onths or so of fighting. The attem pt on H itler’s life gave him the excuse to clean out every m ilitary m an not in sym pathy w ith the w ar, and his m ilitary leaders since then have lacked the courage to suggest an arm istice — even though they knew the w ar w as hope less. H ere is the inside story of w hat happened. The H itler plot had been clev erly arranged by the B ritish. They had been w orking for m onths w ith a sm all secret seg m ent of anti-H itler officers in side the G erm an arm y. A ctual ly, their pipelines into G erm any had been laid even before the w ar started. W eeks and w eeks of the m ost m inute planning had gone into the plot. H ow ever, as in anything as dangerous as an attem pt to as sassinate the w orld’s chief m ad m an, som ething w ent w rong at the last m inute. A high-up G er m an officer on the general staff had agreed to place a brief case containing a tim e-bom b alongside H itler’s chair during a m eeting of the general staff. He did so. B ut either H itler m oved aw ay or else did not sit w here expected. A t any rate. w hen the bom b w ent off, it killed several officers, but H itler w as only wounded in the hand by a bom b fragm ent. T hat incident, how ever, touched off the bloodiest blood purge in his tory. N eutral sources estim ate that 100,000 G erm an officers and other high-up officials suspected of anti- H itler bias w ere killed. Any G er m an leader who had grow n cool re garding the w ar or w as slightly critical of H itler w as included. In the last w ar, it w as the G er m an general staff who dem anded of the K aiser th at he sue for peace - as early as Septem ber 29, 1918. The G erm an civilian governm ent re sisted. In this w ar it w as expected th at the professional m ilitary caste would see the futility of further fight ing and also sue for peace after the N orm andy invasion last June. B ut as a result of the July purge the m ilitary leaders who survived dared not brave H itler’s w rath. POSTW AR CONSCRIPTION Although no final decision has been m ade by. PD R personally, U ndersecretary of W ar Bob P a tte r son and several other W hite House advisers are urging him to press for im m ediate congressional action on a postw ar com pulsory m ilitary training law covering all m en 18 to 26.

Congressional leaders so fa r are against im m ediate consideration, feel they’ll have their hands full in the next few m onths getting m ore urgent postw ar m easures through capitol hill, such as jobs, w ithout starting up a terrific controversy over conscription.

A /f ANY y ears ago Ellsw orth V ines, th e sta r tennis player, and not a bad golfer, m ade this re m ark — “ It’s surprising how long it tak es a fellow to get into h ard com petitive condition—and w hat a short tim e it takes to get out again.” A nd V ines w as a hard trainer. This happens to be com pletely true. It is one answ er to G under H aegg’s showing in I the recent IC 4A I gam es a t M adison !S q u a r e G arden w here he practical ly collapsed in the m ile run. H aegg, the g reat Swedish flash, oudoors and in shape, has ru n the m ile in 4.02. H e w as tim ed around G under H aegg 4.31 over an indoor tra c k w ith no chance to train , soon after he landed. This m eans a lost or m issing m ar gin close to 29 seconds—or som e thing m ore th an 150 y ards. In the best m ile th at H aegg ever ra n he would have beaten R afferty’s 4:16.4 m ile by over 90 yards. F o r a 4.16 m ile is barely m ore th an a gallop. Looking a s fa r back as Joie R ay, a 4.16 m ile would have been a com m on canter for the old-tim er. R afferty has alw ays been a fight ing m iler. Then w e had N urm i’s 4:10.4. And N urm i w as one of the g reat runners of all tim e. F rom that m ile to 10,000 m eters. F rom th at point on down tc A rne A ndersson’s record m ile in 4:1.6 w e have seen the records fall—via G len Cunning ham , Lovelock, H aegg and others who ham m ered the figures down, split second by split second. B ut in all this natu ral ability has needed the hard est sort of work, plus able train ers and able coaches who have yet to receive th e credit they deserved. The Greatest Race To m e the m ile has alw ays been the g reatest of all races. It com bines m ore in the w ay of speed and stam ina than any other distance. The 100 yards—the 220—even the quarter—a re largely speed tests. Al though it m ust be adm itted th at the 440 y ard dash, or the q u arter, is also a killing distance, calling for extended speed. B ut the m ile is som ething in betw een the sprints and the longer distance races, leading up to the m arathon. T he average, norm al hum an be ing from city and farm , usually talks and thinks in term s of the m ile. It is a m ile to som e place—or 5 m iles—or 10 m iles. You know ju st about w hat th a t m eans. The m ile today is th e ideal com bination of speed and stam ina—a race th at draw s and keeps the crow ds interest. The 100 and the 220 are over in too m uch of a hurry w hile the 2 and 3 m ile races a re too long to w atch. In this country m ost of our best running has been turned in from the 100 yard dash to the m ile. We have had few runners w ith the pati ence to train for longer distances. W e have been better a t the shorter distances w ith Paddock, Wykoff, To- lan, Jesse Owens, and m any others. H ere it w as largely a m a tte r of a flash—or half a stride. B ut the m ain or m ajo r goal in track racing has been to reach the m ile in four m inutes flat. H ere is som ething th a t dem ands both speed and stam ina to the ultim ate lim it. T he tim e m ay com e w hen som e one w ill b eat four m inutes. B ut th a t is the big ta rg e t now. A rne A ndersson has brought the m ile to ju st a trifle m ore than a second from the four m inute m ark. F o u r m inutes w ill be reached and beaten, but hardly through the w ar period. F o r w ith all the ability one m ay have, there is still the m a tte r of condition and hard training through a long period. F o r exam ple, G under H aegg is still the greatest distance runner in th e w orld, over the one, two and three-m ile tests. H is record is one of the m ost am azing in all sport. Y et, out of condition, his last show ing a t the m ile and his b est showing a t th e m ile, a re close to 29 seconds apart. W e have alw ays believed there are no superm en in sport. R ecords are only m ade to be broken. W hat they all w ant is the targ et. Sooner o r la te r they bowl this ta rg e t over. It has been said—“T here is no substitute for w ork.” Also—“ There is no substitute for experience.” C er tainly in a m ile ru n there is no sub stitute for a long, h ard training pe riod th a t brings the legs and the w ind w orking together a s a team . And th a t goes for a M ercury. Tops in Training W hile w e’re speaking of condi tion, if anyone cares to know about the all-tim e top in physical training, it w ouldn’t be a bad idea to visit the four navy pre-flight schools a t N orth C arolina, G eorgia, S t M ary’s and Iow a.

Winkle pulled his steel helmet m ore securely on his head and pressed on the accelerator of the car. The jeep shot off the road and along the sand trail leading to the beach. The command car stood where it had been left, in a partially cleared space enclosed by low palm s. Mi. Winkle stopped along side it. As they got out, he glanced at the tent, set at one side among the trees. Ordinarily, the off-duty members of the m achine-gun crew would be loll ing or sleeping there. It was empty. Up on the low ridge, fifty feet away, a helmeted head appeared above the sand. It was the Alpha-, bet. Recognizing them, he waved briefly and then disappeared. “It ain’t like him,” Mt. Tinker observed, “not to be hospitable to his friends.” Mr. W inkle took their tools from the back seat of the jeep. His hands shook a little. He pulled his helm et still more securely over his head and said, “We’d better get to -work.” "We can take a minute,” Mr. Tinker said, “to see what’s going on up there.” Reluctantly, Mr. Winkle followed him to the ridge. They didn’t receive a very warm welcome. “If you got to come here,” Sergeant Czeideskrowski snapped, “get down in.” They scrambled below ground lev el, hunching themselves into the fox The jeep shot off the road and along the sand trail. hole, crowding Freddie, Jack, and the other men who sat listening at tentively or kneeled to stare out over the ocean. Freddie, at the machine gun, whose snout pointed across the beach, greeted them, “Maybe you’re just in time for the perform ance.” The Alphabet picked up the field telephone. He identified his post, listened for a moment and then said, “Yes, sir . . . Nd, sir, it hasn’t lifted yet.” He put the instrument down and told his visitors, “That was your boss. He wanted to know if you got here. Like you heard, I didn’t give away you being with us, but you better get back where you belong and beat it as soon as you’re through.” They went, Mr. Winkle with alao- rity and Mr. Tinker with regret. From out over the sea there .came a sudden roar. Guns began to spit Virtually at the same instant. “Duck!” yelled Mr. Winkle. He dropped the wrench he was holding and dived under the command car. Lying there, his heart beating so fast it seemed to equal the rapid uiug of the guns, he expected Mr. Tinker to join him. Instead, he heard the quick firing a Garand. He could see Mr. Tinker’s feet and part of his legs, braced to take up the shock from Lba gun. The plane came over. It appeared to know _ exactly where to come. The firing stopped. Mr. Winkle opened his eyes. Again he saw Mr. Tinker, who now standing halfway to the ridge. He was reloading his rifle *bd looking malevolently at the sky. The plane came bade. Once more it 6pit heavy death irom its nose, and lighter, more gen* «e death from its wings. Mt. Tink- « fired right back at it. It wasn’t gptii a Qipioent after the plane had gone again; out over the ocean, that Mr. Tinkers arms dropped and the yifle slid from his hands. His voice choked and gurgled when he called, “Pop . . . Hey Pop . . .” .JSlen he crumpled, like something stiff gone soft, folding up and sink- mg to the ground. Mr. Winkle, watching this from beneath the command car, couldn’t believe at first that it was actual It had happened too quickly, too much without warning to be any different from field tactics in which picked men simulated those hit when the planes came over. Then he realized that the plane hadn't been a friendly one. He crawled out from beneath the car and got to his feet. Bfis legs seemed to function' automatically, witiiout any volition on his part, as he made his way to Mr. Tinker. The blood spreading over Mr. Tinker’s chest made him sick and weak. He bent and touched him, whispering his name. But Mr. Tink er didn’t answer. Mr. Winkle realized something else. When the plane went over the second time the Alphabet’s machine gun hadn’t fired. From the fox hole now there came no movement. AU about there was silence. He ran to the ridge. He arrived breathing hard, not from .exertion, but from excitement.' He gasped at what he saw. One of the shells from the plane's cannon had exploded in the fox hole. The bodies of the men lay about, some of them half buried. Freddie was sprawled over the gun, as if protecting it. Sergeant Czeideskrow- ski was on his back, his open eyes staring straight up. at the burning sim and not blinking. In a tangled pile, Mr. Winkle caught sight of the side of Jack’s still face. A single thought ran through him repetitiously. How WiU I ever tell the Pettigrews? He asked himself. How will I ever tell the Pettigrews? The sound of surging water made him turn his head. Out of the mist had come a flat nosed Japanese assault boat. Behind it, but somewhat off to either side, were two more. Mr. Wiidde sank to his knees, both to get out of sight and because his legs wouldn't hold him up any more. After a moment, he knew that he must do something. He realized that the whole position on Talizo might be lost if the men in those assault boats ever landed and infiltrated through the jungle. . He found himself scrabbling about in the sand of the fox hole for the field phone. It wasn’t in sight. He saw the Signal Corps wire lead ing up out of the hole. He grabbed it, and started pulling on it. A broken piece of Uie shattered phone came into his hands. He dropped it from nerveless fin gers. Helplessly, Mr. Winkle watched the leading assault boat come on. Now it whs less than a hundred yards from the beach. . He looked, back at the jeep. Un less the bullet holes through its windshield meant more than they appeared to, the car would still run. He could get back in it to give the alarm at the next post. But by that time, the Japs would • have effected their landing. Mr. Winkle wished that it was not he who had been placed in this posi tion. He wanted, fervently, for it to be another man, a fighter, a killer, a younger, a different, a better man than he. It flashed through his mind that it had been a mistake to draft and make a soldier out of a mouse. He felt guilty at not having resigned from the Army. A different man here now, in his place, would have known what to do. Then Mr. Winkle knew what to do. It occurred to him that he hadn’t thought of himself, of his own safe ty, when considering getting away in the jeep. He had thought only to give the warning of what was happening. Also, he saw Mr. Tinker lying sprawled out there on the ground. He remembered how he had ducked under the command car while Mr. TinIcer fired his rifle. The recollec tion made him feel craven, especial ly when now Mr. Tinker would nev er get his Jap.He decided that he must get him for M t. Tinker. There were the Alphabet, Freddie, Jack, and the other men to think about, too. It inftiriated him that Sergeant Czeideskrowski lay dead. It made him see red to think that after Freddie had been made into a decent person, he had been lolled. His brain seared with a hot flame at the thought of Jack.It seemed to be the most natural in the world to pull Freddie’s body from the gun. Swiftly, he ex amined it. The gun was intact It needed only a new belt of ammuni- tuHe clawed about in the sand and among the bodies for an ammunition box. He stepped on soft flesh and didn’t mind it. •Digging furiously, he found what he . wilted. He stripped the nearly spent belt from the gun, and in serted a fresh one.. As he worked he knew how good and wise it was that he had been trained to operate a maclune gun. He wished that he was better at it But a rising surge fil confidence made him sura he would be good enough. The first boat was nearly at the shore. Mr. Winkle sighted the gun for the spot he figured the men would be when they stepped out That was what he had been taught He still had a moment He em ployed it by coolly taking off hia glasses and wiping them dry with his handkerchief. HewipedMsface and neck, both of wMch streamed with sweat. He glanced about. This was where he would die. He had often wondered in what circumstances and in what locality it would occur. Now he knew. It wasn’t such a bad place. He saw it almost for the first time, the wav ing palm trees, the flowering Mbis- cus. He liked it. It was romantic. - Amy, he thought, would be glad to know it was such an attractive place. It occurred to Mm that tor the first time in his life he wasn’t afraid to die. He even exulted In it He heard his voice. He was laughing. He felt released from hard, painful bonds. He knew that, at last Wil bert George Winkle, in the flesh and not In a newspaper headline, was proud to fight. He turned back to the gun. It was nearly time. The assault boat beached in shal low water. Men started jumping out and splashing through the wa ter. He could see their faces, brown, slant-eyed, expressionless. MT. Win kle let them all get out.-Thenr care fully; sighting, he squeezed the trig ger. THere was a snap and a jerk. The gun jammed without firing. Frantically, he worked at the gun. One! finger caught in the mecha- nism. He. tore it away. Blood spurted, but he paid no attention. He [ kept picking at the jammed cartridge. Finally he got it out, and a new one in the firing chamber, the gun1 prepared properly. Five men had run ahead, off to one side. Mt. Winlde swung his gun around, concentrating on them first. This time the gun fired. He wad astonished to see the men fell. He I wasn’t sure if one of them got away. He swung the gun back, spitting vengeance at the larger group. As the !bullets spat out from under his hanlfis, a still new and greater world opened before him. This was what he had lived for. Lifei had a meaning and a purpose of which he had never dreamed. He sprayed the milling men dowi tiiere. He had a mad, blind desire to an nihilate and destroy the enemy. It seemed like a torrent pent up in him for years and spilling out in one overwhelming rush. He sprayed it on the milling men down there. That burst was for Jack. That one was for Freddie. TIds long one for Mr. Tinker. Now one for the Alphabet. Still more for the other men. Wilbert WinMe, who operates The Fixit Shop, first mar ried selectee in the 36 to 45 draft, age group to be called, is killing these enemies of his country. He is anxious to defend the four freedoms. It’s worth any sacrifice, if need be, his very life. Wilbert Wnkle wanted more ene mies to kill when all these were gone, when no one stood on his feet in the writhing, shrieking mass on the wet sand. He saw more at the approach ol the other two boats. Quite calmly, without excitement of any kind, and not realizing he was following Army procedure painstakingly taught him, he inserted another fresh belt Ol ammunition. Instinctively, as if something told him to, he looked behind him, ovei the edge of the fox'hole. A Jap officer was stealing his way toward him. He was the one who had got away from the group of five. Thqswarthy little-man war between the cars and the body oi Mr. Tinker. Mr. Winkle grabbed the nearest rifle. He swung it into position t« fire, resting it on the edge of Iht fox hole. (TO BE CONnmiEDt 'S*- S IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL U N D A Y I C H O O L L e s s o n BY HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D- D.Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.Released by W estern New spaper Union. Lesson for April 8 Lesson subjects -and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE BOOK AND THE FAITH . LESSON TEXT—Psalm 145:10-17. . GOLDEN TEXT—The word o( the Lord endureth forever.—I F e tn - 1:23. Christians are the people of one book—the Bible. They read and use other books, but the book is God’s Word, and everything else must be in accord with its teaching. In this blessed Book they find the only revelation of God’s saving grace. Other attributes of God may be found in the book of nature. There we find that God is powerful, orderly, wise, etc., but nowhere in nature is it written that God’ can save a man from his' sin. We find that only in the Bible, God’s written Word as it reveals Jesus Christ the Saviour who is the Living Word. I. The Eternal Glory of God’s Kingdom (w . 10-13). The kingdom of God refers to His reign over all things and beings, but with special reference to those who are willingly subject to Him and eager to live for His glory. Everything in God’s creation is to be lifted up in praise of that king dom. AU His works shaU praise Him. They reveal Him in part, but even that limited revelation is glori ous. The man who cannot see God . jn_nature~is~indeed a dull clodrThe heavens declare His glory and the earth shows forth IUs handiwork (Ps. 19:1). - Greater and more precious in God’s sight is the praise of His saints. Dumb adoration is accept able only from a dumb creation. We, His saints, are to speak His praise, to “bless” Him (v. 10). We are to spread abroad among all men (v. 12) the news of God’s greatness and goodness. “His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,” and thus it at once takes its place as so superior to what men caU kingdoms as hardly to be men tioned in-the same breath. Thereis no limit to God’s kingdom either in its extent or its duration. How stupid then that some, yes many, foolish men and women Set themselves up in rebellion against God: That is the height of all foUy and leads only to disaster. .How wise are those who yield their Uves to His control that their Uttle span of life may find rich meaning in the One who endures forever. H. The Abundant Prorision of God’s Mercy (w . 14-16). We are aU completely dependent on the mercies of God. for everything that we need for life—physical, men tal, and spiritual. Consider the food for the body. God opens His bountiful hand and every Uving creature is provided with the food necessary for its sus tenance. How tMs is accompUshed is a mystery and a marvel to us, but God is able to do it. Centuries ago men were fearful that the earth could not produce enough food to keep the increasing population of mankind alive, but God sees to that even when He has to do it in spite of man’s waste and de struction. However, life is not just material. There must be a satisfying of man’s spiritual nature. He needs someone to save him from Ms own sinful weakness, to deUver Mm from his sorrow and affliction. Who can do 'this but' G od?And -IIe does il (see- v. 14). How does He do it? Through the ministry of His Holy Word. There in man finds salvation and satisfac tion. The Bible is the Ught that shines upon Ms way. It is his com fort in sorrow and his strength in temptation. It exhorts and encour ages, convicts and cures. How endless and how overflowing is the mercy of our God. Let us “wait upon” Him, knowing that He is not only mindful of our need, but eager to do for us more than we can ask or think. III. The Saving Power of God’s Grace (w . 17-19). The Lord, who “is nigh unto all them that caU upon him” (v. 18), is able to save because He is “right eous in all his ways and holy to aU his works” (v. 17). Only a just and holy God can deal with sin,, and yet only a merciful God would pro vide redemption; but in our God mercy and truth meet (Ps. 115: I; Ps. 103). He is both “just and the justifier of him that beUeveth in Jesus” (Rom. 3:26 ). He it is who is near to aU that “caU upon him in truth” (v. 18), and surely it is such a calling on the Lord wMch is in mind in Romans 10:13, where we read that “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Notice that God’s nearness, His salvation, and' His fulfillment of the desires of man are for those who call on Him and who "fear Him" (v. 19). This is not a matter of magical use of a name, or an out ward profession of faith. It must come from the heart, and when it does,'God responds. So we find God’s word to be the source of our instruction concerning those things wMch can make us wise unto salvation (H Tim. 3:15). It is the Book of our faith!.

Howam oan add plenty of pleasure and zest to the plainer duties of vegetable gardening. More beauty in gardens can definitely be classed as part of the “better gardens" pro gram our government recommends for 1945. Where space is limited, the simplest way is to devote a few rows to easy-to- grow flowers that can be used for cut ting material. Or, a border of flowers can surround the entire garden or part of the garden to make the vegetable plot an attractive part of the home grounds. Surprisingly enough, when the vegetable rows are well laid out and cared for, they are as pleasing to look at as the flowers themselves. Annual flowers grown in rows in the garden can be cared for In the same way as vegetables. Asters are suit able. Be sure to get seed of the wilt resistant type. Bachelor, buttons are always lovely for cutting. So are cal endula and calliopsis and gaillardia. Both nasturtium salpiglossis are at their best in bowls or vases and are be ter adapted to growing in rows than in a flower border. African and Hench marigolds, Giant and Lilliput alnnlas can be cultivated with a hoe the same as carrots or com. Medium and low growing flowers are usually best for bordering the vegetable plot Petunias in rose, blue, and white are colorful and neat Lilliput zinnias in a blend of bright hues will furnish a band of brilliance between garden and lawn. Harmony marigolds or one of tire newer dwarf varieties with a wealth of bloom and compact habit will form a line of splendor around any vegetable plot Dwarf bachelor but ton, Jubilee Gem, and ageratum are good blues to edge the brighter blos soms, and a white edger like Little Gem alyssum is always in good taste. A fence around the vegetable plot often affords excellent opportunity for flowers. Mording glories, such as Heavenly Blue and Pearly Gates, twin ing on the fence, will form a soft background for other annuals in front Cosmos or Fink Queen cleome are beautiful tall selections next to a fence. Giant zinnias and African marigolds, as well as many other medium-growing flowers, are of proper height for a sec ond row. Dwarfs such as those al ready mentioned will add interest to the foreground. One of the secrets of easy flower border culture is to leave plenty of space between plants to permit using the hoe during the flowers’ early growth. Later, as the plants grow larger, filling in the gaps and smoth ering any weeds that might dare to start, little cultivation is likely to be needed. Red Cross War Fund Head Enlists Full Public Support WASHINGTON, D. G-Urglng each American citizen to consider the Red Cross as his personal emissary to his particular serviceman, Colby M. Ches ter. chairman of the 1945 American Red Cross War Fund campaign, today asked all Americans to give to their fullest ability In support of the 1945 national goal of 5200,COO,000. “Those of us who must stay at home and light by doing our daily tasks as elBclently as possible," he said, “like to feel that though we are not beside John or Jim 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 fill 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 trlendB and neighbors at home In time of 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 vol unteer canvassers will represent 3,750 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 identification 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.

Jttktutt Casual Clothes c Help Bond Sales Russia Since the beginning of 1945 I saw a mid-Victorian rig, a hone and h Jg- gy, pass an automobile on a graded road. It was not a raoe. The car was not running. A e motorist was out Qhimging a tire. The driver of the rig sat up straight and pressed his horse for a bit of extra speed going by, whioh was funny. Thecar owner made the change and drove into town far ahead of the buggy. Between 1918 and 1988 the United States, the world’s outstanding in dustrial nation of all time, had an industrial depression. Meanwhile the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was moving forward; not rapidly but at an increasing rate. In those years it was bring transformed from an agricultural to an Industrial na tion, a stage Uirough which America had passed, half a century before.A Wind-Broken Nag Russia was driving a horse named "Central Planning. The rig made an interesting dash for improve ment; not very fast however, nor very spectacular. Claims made for the animal’s speed were funny; cer tainly not all true. Living condi tions in Russia were not as high as those in America in the. pit of our depression; never have been before nor since. It was a splurge, better than Russia had before, but far be low American achievement. There is nothing new about Cen tral Planning. It’s as old as horse- drawn equipment.. Kings, tyrants and dictators have always used the idea. -Some-have-done- better.-with. it than others, depending on the ruler. Russia’s recent rulers have been anything but stupid. A eir military leadership has the world agog. Russia has made a marvel ous fight, using American equipment extensively.For National Safety Vou would Giihk that Russia, liv ing next door to an armed desper ado for 25 years could have ade quately prepared for war. No; Cen tral Planning couldn’t do it. It took a raid on Pearl Harbor to wake America from a sweet dream of peace, but America went into action with'Private Enterprise and, in four years, armed the United Nations for victory. This demonstrates which system is better for national safety. But war is never America’s main objective. We are a peace-loving people and want to work and pros per and live well. Some say that America, in view of Russia’s achievements, ought to junk Free Entnprise and adopt Central Plan ning. Knowing that Russia’s achieve ments have never compared to our own, the suggestion is preposterous.. Let’s examine the figures of an ex pert for a moment: Development Compared Leopold Schwamchild, in his re cent book called “Primer of the Coming World,’’ shows some index figures to make a fair comparison CS industrial gains in similar peri ods—Russia, while at her best in 1928-38, and America in a similar period. Here are Giree for a sample: U.S.S.R. U.S.A. Coal Mining 599 1,332 Railroad Bufiding 38 918 Automobiles 129 2,068 The Russian government is an autocracy. One political party con trols everything, including newspa pers and radio, but not more than 2% of the people belong to it . . . the upper class. Kick up a rumpus about it if you want to go to the salt mines and serve your country for insufficient^ board and clothes. The 'system overcomes unemploy ment, but wages are only one-sixth of wages in America and the stand ard of living only one-sixth as high. I am in favor of keeping Private Enterprise here. i I x - O I Save for Bonds 1945 Blum’s Almanacs Are Scarce Oa Account Of Paper Shortage We have a limited supply which we are giving to all those who subscribe or renew their sub scriptions for one year.

Maxie Swicegood had the mis. fortune to sustain painful injuries Friday. He had left his car in gear and when be started'.to crank it the car knocked him down and. r»n over him. The accident oc curred at Hardison’s. John Ratiedge, of Cana, was in town last week and showed us a copy of his grandfather’s surveyor book, which he used during the early part of the nineteenth century from 1814 to 1816. Tbe book is in good shape and the writing iu a fine state of preservation. Brady Foster, who was badly in jured in an automobile wreck in North Mocksville last' Wednesday night, is getting along oicely, A car driven by a Mr. Wagoner, and the car driven bv Foster, were bad Iv damaged. The o.ccupants of the Wagoner ear escaped injury Highway Engineer Cecil Felix tells us that ali all UafiBc on Route 65, Mocksville to Winston Salem, must now detour via Farmington. This ioad has been dragged and put in good condition. The dis tance is several miles farther, but travelers will have|to use this de tour until the hard-surface road is finished which will be some time next fall. Mrs. Laura D Watkins, 50, died at her home near Clemmons last Thursday, following a lingering ill ness She bad been confined to her home for the past 18 months. She had lived in Clemmons for the past 12 years. Before marriage she was Miss Laura Bessent, of Jerusa lem. Surviving are the husband, several brothers and sisters. ' Where The Beginners Begm Rev. Walter E. Isenhour. Hiddenite. N. C. Men build in the pride of their, wealth and skill, And their dim-topped towers grow, Pillar on pillar and stone on stone, From the deep dug earth below. But the soaring night of their out ward height And their chambers grand with in, Must rest at length on the firm- based strength Down where there beginners be. gin- Two roads diverging at parted ways To far-off endings go; One in the mindst of the marsh lands glooms, And one on the hills aglow. So the deeds that crown with a bright renown Or the shame of the vilest six— They all go back on a straight, clear track To where the beginners begin. Would you build a tower of life to stand While the storms go crashing by? Would you choose the way that will lead yon on To the uplands grandly high? WonId you win your right to a crown of light When our Lord to His own comes in? You have the power; and this is the hour, And the place, where the begin, ners begin, —Eugene Rowell This beautiful poem, taken from a collection of poems by Engene Rowell, is so full of vital truth un til I feel tbaf is wort by of the space it -may fill in any newspaper or re ligious publication. The begin ning of all buildings is the first weakness, of a building. And the same is true of our lives. If we build on Christ, the “Rock of Ages,’’ and ou His wonderful truth, and build into our lives love, mercy,'peace, grace, meekness kindness, honesty, uprightness, purity and holiness, we have a building ot God' that can stand the tests, storms and trials that the sin ful world may bring to bear against us, and that will stand the perse cutions and temptations of the enemy all along life’s pilgrim jour ney! Praise the Lord. On *the other hand, however, if we build our Iivesupon the founda. tion of evil, later collapse. Exact ly. You bave never seen a - life built upon the foundation of evil that was mighty, powerf .1, beauti ful, sublime, substantial and worth while. Even if one adds some good traits to life, and does some good deeds, yet wben he has built it upon the sands of evil it will fall. It would hr wonderful if. every life could be started upon the firm foundation of the Christian relig ion. Nothing' else can possibly stand the test of time and eternity A mighty architect may build a beautiful building, and even build it great and strong, so far as bis part fines, but if the beginners who laid the. touuda'ioo tailed to dig deep in tbe earth, and failed to lay a solid and firm foundation, bis building is weak. No building is really stronger than its foundation And the beginners are responsible f(if this" Wbeo I see parents ^rearing family without Christ in the borne I know tbeir fo tin nation is weak.' There is no iamily. altar, no Bible reading and study. There is 00 strong influence thrown about the children to safeguard their lives to start with, and upon which they can build manhood and woman hood, character and soul principal Often times there is no good liters- Cost of The Peacetime Conscription Writing iu “ We the People,” publication 0! North Carolina Citi zens Association, Inc., Harl R Douglas, director of tbe College of Education, University of Colorado, gives the pros and cons of compul sory military training. Most of the points taken up by Mr. Douglas have already been discussed in these columns, excepting the details of cost of such a program. Says Mr. Douglas: “The direct financial cost must include living costs and pav of ap proximately 1,200, men or ot 2,- 400,000 men and women if both sex are to he included. In addition there must be camps, officers trans portation, guns, planes, amunitlon, uniforms, hospitals, doctors, den- tists, nurses, medicines, barracks and other items. The cost would probably average between #2,000 and $3,000 a man—running into from two and a half billion dollars a year—or from $65 to $200 per family per year in addition to sev eral times that which we will be compelled to pay at the cost of the present war and all this in a period of high cost of living and a greatly reduced national income.” It has been estimated that our post-war Federal tax bill will be at least 25 billion dollars annually, or four times the pre-war level. If we adopt universal military training, tbe tax bill will rise to nearly 33 billion dollars in times of peace. This is visible, the direct cost. Pro. fessar Douglas cites in addition a number of hidden costs, such as the disrupting effect peacetime con scription would have on industry, on education, on marriage, the de layed entries of young men into professional, business and voca tional life.” “In view of all these costs to society,” he says, “to tbe taxpayers, to industry, and to the individual youth, we should be cer tain that the proposal will reulst in adeqnata military preparedness not obtainable otherwise.” We should also be certain that such preparedness is necessary. At a time wben the air is charged with talk of universal, perpetual peace it is paradoxical, to say the least, to propose universal, perpetual mili tary service for our young people at a cost so tremendous that it will do away with what has been called tbe American Way of Life, tbe good s nd east life, forever after.— Statesville Daily.

A Good Name The new “town-buster” 11 ton bomb used in recent days on special selected German targets is a lulu Reports coming out of Germany show that houses within two miles of the target are completely wreck ed, that doors and windors are olown In for distance up to six miles, and persons within one mile of the explosion are killed out right. Reoercussions of the lasts can be felt as far as 16 miles away. The The explosion charge is so power ful that the first 11-Ionner used knocked out seven spans of the Bielefield viaduct, although the bomb landed 135 feet from tbe tar get. The new weapon is well nick named. A single one of them is capable of leveling a small towu. We wonder what effect one of them will bave wben dropped into the entrance of one of these old salt mines near Bercbtesgaden, which Hitlei ts reported to have fitted out as arsenals and supply depots for his last stand in the mountains of Salzburg and Bavaria.

We went In to class and after ward we took a gallon vinegar jug to get some gas. Our folks hate to run out of gas on the highway. We didn’t want to he seen lugging a jug on Sunday, so we sneaked through a back alley. Bus you can’t hide things. Severai of the fellers fiom the class were playing hoofcie from church and saw us. Circumstantial evidence is bad, but accumulated evidence is worse. Next Sunday was our time to teach and as we can think better walking we started early on fool to try to get our thoughts together. Pretty soon a. police car came up with four big policemen. Good hearted souls that they are they asked if we wan ted a lift. Through courtesy we accepted a ride. On the way we passed these same fellers who had seen us sneaking the jug the Sun day before. They looked at each other in amazement. We don’t know wbat they thought but we fear what men think more than we fear what thev say. But we beat ’em to Sunday school no matter wbat they thought.

New Boon to Farmerj New developments: "and experi ments indicate that the sweet potato will be one of the biggest boons to farmers of the South yet discovered. These experiments prove that tbe sweet potatoes offers the greatest potentiality in the production of hu man and animal food of any crop, according to Douglas Warrincr. ma nager of Louisiana’s largest sweet potato dehydrating plant. In an address before the Agricul ture Club of Chicago, this authority un tbe sweet potato presented so many interesting new facta about this product that The Chicag^. Tri bune gave his address prominenTOis- play in its newB columns. Amongthe fsctshe revealed wa the green vines from one acre of sweet potatoes may be dehydrated into 15,000 pounds of bay equal in feeding value to alfalfa. iWhen the potatoes are harvested, the fancy ones are marketed for hu man consumption, second grades are oinned and culls are dehydrated in to palatable carbohydrate stock feed equal to sLelled corn in tbe carotin is extracted from them to make caro tin oil. Pectin also can be made from the peels, and the cull potato ia an excellsnt source of starch.. The sweet potato is having a pro found effect on Louisiana usually im ports annually 55 million dollars worth of carbohydrade feeds for a rising supply of livestock. The sweet potato promises to make much of this expense unnecessary, he said. One acre c a n produce 25,000 pounds of potatoes for stock feed, but the average acre of com is the same area will yield only 12 busnels, or 072 pounds of com. Thus stock men of the South now have a cheap feed which will stimulate tbe meat industry, he said. Warriner said the army is taking huge quantities of dehydrated sweet potatoes to feed the soldiers. Sweet potatoes have proved the one dehy drated food which h received tew complaints from tbe troops, he add ed. We bave given tbe report of this address in detail here because we are convinced that nothing has been done in tbe development of sweet potato products in Louisina that cannot be done equally well in North Carolina.

Juicy, Colorful Pie (See Recipes Below) D essert Appeal There are sbme foods that just naturally make for a good, homey feeling. There’s pie for one. The family likes to see the preparation and then smell the good and fi nally, taste the juicy sweetness of berries or fruit . nestling against a I tender, flaky - ^ crust.Fondness for pie goes back a long way and has not abated even during rationing and shortages of sugar and fruit. It’s a good dessert with which to top off the meal which has been light or a little shy of appetite appeal.Then, too, there are cakes that fill the need for sweetness and cater a bit to' the appetite. Fortunately there have been developed recipes which are low in sugar and easy to make. A good pie or cake, baked once a week, will give the family a sense of well being and hominess that is so important in these days of rush and activity.

This is not why I'm'telling you some things about Fred MacMur- ray today. I’m writing about Fred because I think this pleasant, self- effacing young American actor, who stands as high In-the good opin ion of his employ ers, his cowork er s, and h is friends as any man in the indus try, is a far more interesting char acter than the stars who are tak: Ing an unfair ad vantage of their fame and money. Fred MacMur- ray' is the very .core of everything that is simple, straightforward, and American. He’s as down-to-earth as applesauce or the boy next door. He’s the sort of fellow every man and woman wants a son to be. He’s got integrity—and try and beat that word when you’re groping for a tag to give the meas ure of a man. A record of 40 top pictures since 1935, when Fred came into motion pictures from the New York stage, is proof to doubters that you can be all these things and roll up big ger box office than the glamour playboys any day. Less than a year ago Twentieth Century signed Fred MacMurray to a long-term contract. They knew they had secured one of the most valuable star properties this industry ever produced. The clear, fresh baritone which won him a nod from Hollywood when he was playing in “Roberta” on Broadway and his slick way with a saxophone are capitalized in “Where Do We Go From Here,” his first for Twentieth. “Double Indemnity,” was the last big release in which he won public approval. Aims to Please On the heels of this singing part, Fred, with typical MacMurray ver satility, embarked on the role he Is now shooting, “Captain Eddie,” the story of the famous racing driver, Eddie Rickenbacker. This is the tale of an all-American—a typical product of this democracy, like Fred himself. His third will be “Pardon My Past,” which Fred will produce and star in as well. He is deeply concerned with the “customers” when it comes to mak ing a picture. Other stars refer to the public as "my audience” or “my fans.” To Fred they’ll always be “the customers,” and he’s of the firm belief the customer is always right. His temperament, his art, and his Income never stand between him and humanity. The very naihes that build the framework of his biog raphy are down to earth and all- American: Kankakee, Hi., where he was born, and Beaver Dam, Wis., where he grew up, and Carroll col lege at Waukesha, Wis., where he put the finishing touches on bis education. No Silver Platter . Like most successfiil.men, Fred helped earn that education. He won Ihe American Legion award for the highest scholastic and athletic rec ord at college. He bought a sax- played it, toe, In the American Le- pon band. When orchestra jobs were thin Fred was a house-to-house talesman of electrical appliances, a •tore clerk—anything to keep him end his mother going. , “I dread interviewers, Hedda,” he told me, “because I’m bad copy. I’m lust a plain guy. My wife and I and the Bay MiUands have lots of fun together just doing the things all the millions of other taxpayers are do ng around these United States. Noth ing whimsical, nothing fancy." Fred and Lillian have two chil dren—Susan, four, and Robert, one year, both adopted. They want four more and recently bought the LeIand Hayward home in Brentwood to make room for the kids. Down to Earth “I dbn’t like to hold forth about my notion of things. Why should my opinions of life, love, death, and taxes be any more interesting than those of any'man in the street?” But there’s plenty going on in that head of bis. He’s a solid investor. Believes in property, in the land. Owns a ranch near Ssmta Rosa with purebred stock. He buys good pic tures for his Brentwood home, etchings and canvases he tikes to IoOk at and live with; not meaningless things of vast value to serve as -publicity items.• GD Unfair to the Ftdr Sex The New York theater has two dis tinguished women producers—Mar garet Webster and Anhrinette Perry. Paramount has a distinguished woman — or did have — Phyllis Laughton. Mitch Leisen refused to make pictures without her. Paulette Goddard won’t do one without Mis. Laughton’s help. Paramount admits she’s wonderful. The only reason they won’t make her a full fledged director is, so I’m told, they’re afraid the men won’t take orders Irom a lady. Since when, fellows?

U A REPORT ON GERMANY : Hard-boiled Leon Henderson did som e tough talking to President Roosevelt when he arrived back from his economic survey of occu pied Germany. Henderson w as sent by the White House to consult with General Eisenhower regarding the econom ic setup in Germany after the Armi stice. But, while the former OPA adm inistrator has kept very m um about it, he w as quite critical in his verbal report to the President re garding negligence on the part of the army, the state departm ent and the Anglo-American-Russian com m ission in London regarding plans for running Germany. Henderson told FD R that neither the U . S. m ilitary nor the state department had done any thing except the sloppiest sort of planning about running the difficult German civilian econo m y after the arm istice. U. S. Ambassador John Winant in London, Henderson indicated, had been sitting on his hannches as a m em ber of the tripartite com m ission supposed to look into this, but doing nothing. Henderson reported that the plan for cutting Germany up into three different sections under the British, A m erican and Russian ' arm ies sim ply would not work economical ly. H e pointed out that the Ger m an railroads w ere set up to work as a unit, not in three different sec tions. Likewise with German indus tries. Henderson proposed, there fore, that German civilian economy be run by a civilian com m ission representing the Allies which would have charge of the entire country. He also proposed that the m ilitary take orders from the civilian high com m ission. What the President w ill do about the Henderson report rem ains to be seen. When he suggested that Hen derson go back to Germany, the hard-boiled ex-OPA administrator refused. He said it w as im possible to work under the present setup. In stead he w ill go to China to m ake a study of price controls for Chiang Kai-shek. (Note — What som e White House advisers fear is that the sam e chaos and inflation which killed democratic government in Germany after the last war once again w ill becom e so roinous that the German people w ill fall back on another Hitler or Kaiser.) r * * *1 G.I. JOE AT PEACE TABLE More and m ore state legislatures and m em bers of congress are urg ing that a G.I. Joe sit at the peace table; also that he begin by sitting in at the important San Francisco U nited Nations conference. Some further propose that Sumner W elles, form er undersecretary of state and the m an who originally planned for the peace machinery, attend the San Francisco conference, perhaps as ad viser to the soldier delegate or as an unbiased observer with no ax to grind either for or against any one political party. The Maryland and Rhode Island legislatures are the latest to push the idea of a G.I. Joe at the peace table, resolutions being introduced by Charles M. See of Cumberland, M d., and Joseph M ills of War wick, R. I. The Texas and South Carolina legislatures have already passed resolutions, while Senator Johnston of South Carolina and Rep resentative Jackson of Washington have introduced resolutions in the U . S. congress urging that the G J. Joe attend the San Francisco con ference as a starter to the final peace session. They propose that he be no higher than the rank of ser geant. Note — The Iowa poll, con ducted by the D es Moines Sun day R egister, found that an over- irtielming m ajority of Iowans, 83 per cent, favored having a , m em ber of the arm ed forces at (he peace table.i « * » , DEMOCRATIC JOE STILWELL Gen. Joe Stilwell has alw ays rated high with his m en. Now that he’s stationed in W ashington as chief of the arm y ground forces, he still has the reputation of looking out for them . The other day, Washington realtor Col. Gus Ring, who is used to get* ting phone calls from all sorts of im portant apartment hunters, was surprised to find General StilweQ walk in his office and ask for an apartm ent. StilweU didn’t want the apartm ent for him self, but had trav eled all the w ay across Washington to try to get an apartm ent for the widow of one of StilwelTs junior of ficers who had been killed in action. N o te-H e got the apartment. . . . CAPITOL CHAFF C, Henry W allace and Loan Adminis trator Fred Vinson are getting to gether to discuss plans for coordi nating the 60,000,000-job program. . C.

Navajo 6Dust Bowl’ Brings Disaster to Indians Econom ic disaster for 55,000 Indians is rapidly taking form in the rugged m esas of the N avajo country in Arizona and N ew M exico.

This is the first yeai d ie has been included in m ovie halt of fam e. Connie M ack ONLY a few years ago, alm ost the entire country started pulling for the Brooklyn Dodgers. _ The Dodgers w ere the people’s choice, or cherce. But this season as a lone bystander or spectator, I’m pulling for Connie M ack’s Athletics. Which m eans Connie Mack. With the respect in which Connie Mack is held in this country, with all the publicity he has drawn, ’ I still doubt that th e Unit ed States quite ap preciates what Con nie M ack has m eant to the integrity, to the cleanness, to the all-out sportsm an ship of b a se b a ll; virtues which should belong to all gam es. I don’t believe the majority .of the peo ple know or under stand the great job Connie has done through m ore than 60 years in promoting these ideals, which are far above the nine pennants and the m any World Series his team s have won. There have been m any sm art m anagers and m any sm art owners. But no one else who could m atch what Connie M ack has contributed to baseball and to sport in general, as player, m anager and owner—or sne who could say with Victor Hugo: “The snows of winter m ay be on m y head, but the sunshine of eter« nal spring is in m y heart.” Forty Years Ago Coming up from the south, I firs m et Connie in the World Series o. 1905. That w as the year when Christy M athewson wrecked the Athletics with three successive shut outs. Connie M ack w as then w ell aver 40 years old. H e w as supposed to be past his prim e, over four dec ades ago. But after that 1905 Series I found that Mr. M ack had no alibi of any sort to offer. H e had only praise for the great pitching of M atty, who held his hard-hitting team to 13 singles in 3 gam es. What a pitcher,” Connie said then. “What a pitcher.” H e had nothing to say about the absence of his great pitcher, Rube W addell, who had been injured before the series and couldn’t even throw a ball. It m ay be the younger genera tion doesn’t know so m uch about Mr. M ack. W ell, at the age of 82 or 83, or whatever it is (wbo bothers about tbe years, anyw ay), Connie is a lean, tall, gray-haired fellow as straight as a south Georgia pine. The last tim e I saw him w as the 1944 World Series in St. Louis—between the Car dinals and Browns—when he looked to be the keenest of all the flock that follows any World Series show. We talked of the days w hen he dug up the greatest bunch of left-hand ers that ever worked for any ball club. Connie w as alw ays partial to southpaws — Rube W addell, Herb Pennock (rated by B ill Hanna as the greatest of them all), Eddie Plank (the Gettysburg Guide), and Lefty Grove—certainly one Of the best. It w as also Connie M ack who dug up one of the great infields of base ball—even if you have forgotten their nam es—Stuffy M clnnis, Eddie Col lins, Jack Barry and Home-Run Frank Baker. KJndly nam e m e a greater infield? A GreM Sportsman In these last 40 years I have never seen or m et Connie M ack when he w asn’t kind and considerate of all concerned — ballplayers, baseball w riters and th e public at large. H e m erely happened to be a great sportsm an. And w e can use a lot m ore great sportsm en than, w e have today. H e has nothing to cover up—nothing to explain. For 60 years he has stood four square against all the winds that blow in sport, and m any of these are adverse winds. There w as never any "dead pan” about Connie. H e had a quaint sense of humor. The tough breaks never bothered him . “It all belongs in the gam e,” he used to say. “Ton get the good ones and you get the bad ones. It all averages up.” Som e tim e ago I w as kidding Ty Cobb as to whether he or Babe Ruth w as the greatest ballplayer. “Why pick on Ruth or m e,” Cobb said. “Why not turn to Connie Mack? Mr. M ack has done m ore for baseball and sportsm anship in gen eral than any two m en that ever lived, g e is the ablest m an and the squarest shooter I’ve ever known— and 60 working years couldn’t knock him down.” That’s one of the reasons I’m pull ing for Connie M ack and his Ath letics through 1945.

Mr. Win kle dives under . command ear while Mr. Tinker shoots It out with a (fane. Mr. Tinker It hit, Mr. Winkle grabs a machine gun and mows down the Japs. CHAPTER X IU As he aimed, the officer w as pass ing Mr. Tinker. To Mt. Winkle’s amazement, one of M r. Tinker’s legs moved out and tripped the m an, sending him sprawling. Mt. Tink er’s jump at him w as m ore of a crawl, but he m ade it before the Jap could fire his pistol. The hairy hands of M r. Tinker found the officer’s throat. They held on while the two rolled on the ground. Gradually the Jap’s con vulsive m ovem ents stopped and he lay still. Mr. Tinker continued to retain his grasp on the other’s throat, viselike, even when, in turn, there was no m ore m ovem ent from him. Mr. Winkle turned back to his main business. He felt no shock when he saw more assault boats com ing-out of the mist in addition to the two now beaching them selves. He had only the determined desire to kill and kill again even when he knew he must be overpowered. He didn’t hear, above the noise of his gun, the trucks grinding to a stop in back of him with a shriek of brakes. For som e tim e he wasn't aware that other m en, live m en, He wasn’t aware Hiat other m en, five men, were in the fox hole with him. Were in the fox hole w ith him and that still more w ere firing from the Gand for som e distance on either side. He didn’t know when he left the fox hole and with the others ran upon the beach with a rifle in his hands. He w as astounded, once, to note the bayonet on the mid of the rifle, and Hiat he had plunged it into a Jap soldier and w as having Jifficulty in getting it out. Twist, he thought, that w as it. H e twisted, and the blade cam e free. It w as true what they said. He felt a sharp sting in his left shoulder. On top of his head there w as a blinding clang. His helm et w as knocked off. Something crashed on his bare head and after that he w as aw are of nothing. • • • Mr. Winlde opened his eyes cau tiously. H e had been conscious for a few m inutes, but he couldn’t place where he w as. The first Hdng he saw w as the- face of Jack Pettigrew . Jack had only a-h ead , which floated in the air all by itself. The m outh in the head said, "Hello, Pop." "So you m ade it, too," observed Mr, Winkle. ‘“ M ade itt’ ” Jack’s head in quired. “We’re dead, aren’t w e?" asked Mr. W inkle. "You w ere dead the last tim e I saw you. This is Heav en, I suppose. Or is it--? ” In som e panic he dem anded, "W hich one?" The head laughed. "We’re in an Army hospital Just outside of Los Angeles." The rest of Jadc cam e into focus. Clad in pajam as and a bathrobe, he w as sitting on the edge of a white bed. There w ere lines of white beds. “I don’t understand," M r. W inkle said. “We’re supposed to be on Talizo. You—and the Japs . .” "The Japs,” Jack grinned, “didn’t get anywhere. We’ve taken the whole island since then. Y ou saved it. You’re a hero. You’re going to get a m edal. The President told about you in one of bis speeches.” “And look a t these papers.” 'Jadc rumm aged in, a locker betw een the beds an * held the front pages of newspapers so M r. W inkle could read them . One of them w as The E vening Standard. Mr. Winkle took it and saw big black letters which said: WINKLE, HERO OF TA Ttvn ’T m supposed to call the nurse if you w ake up,” Jack said. “You’ve been out for five w eeks. You’re not supposed to talk." “You do the talking,” Mr. Winkle ordered. “And lots of it.” “You don’t have to worry,” Jack said. “M rs. Winkle knows. I w ent hom e to see m y folks. I’m here now only for a check-up before I join m y new com pany. We’re head ed for the Philippines this tim e.” “You left out som ething,” Mr. W inkle said. “The m ost important part. The Alphabet, Freddie, and the othiers . . .” Li a low voice, Jadc said, “I w as the only one.” It w as a m om ent before he could ask about Mr. Tinker. Then he spoke only his .nam e. “No,” Jack told him . At least, thought Mr. Winkle, Mr. Tinker had got his Jap him self. H e would alw ays cherish thinking of the sight of Mr. Tinker with his hands around the Japanese officer’s throat. “That’s why I want to go back,” Jack said. , ‘T m going, too,” Mr. Winkle told him . MT. W inkle enjoyed, instead of shying' from , every m om ent of his reception when he arrived in Spring- ville. H e beam ed at the huge crowd w aiting at the station. With satis faction, he saw and heard toe Amer ican Legion band which had turned out for him alone this tim e. He read the banners and posters peo ple carried. H e adm ired the deco rations, one of which read unasham edly: "Our Hero.” There w as Aniy em bracing him and murmuring brokenly, “Wilbert . . .W ilb ert . . . ” “Look,” he said. Right Hiere be fore all the people he lifted his arm to shoulder height, telling Amy, “That’s as far a's it w ill go.” Am y stared at him , em barrassed and stricken. The crowd hushed. “It’s good enough for holding you,” Mr. Winkle told his wife, p u t ting his arm around her. The crowd roared its approval, while Am y, blushing, whispered to him , “W ilbert, you’re changed m ore than ever.” The M ayor stepped up and gave him the keys to the city, in the form of a large wooden key painted gold and festooned with gay ribbons. Then cam e the m ost important part of the cerem ony, the part that m ade Mr. W inkle m ost apprecia tive and brought a lump to his throat. His own com m anding officer be ing som e distance away, it had been arranged for the Colonel who com m anded the cam p where Mr. Win kle w as inducted into the Arm y to present him with the Distinguished Service Cross. The Colonbl read the citation from a scroll. “ . . . awarded to Wilbert George W inkle . . . distinguished him self by extraordinary, heroism in connection with m ilitary opera tions against an arm ed enem y . . . beyond and above his duty . . .” The Colonel pinned the m edal on his tunic, stepped back and saluted him . Mrl Winkle w as so surprised at being saluted first by an officer, and especially one of such rank as a Colonel, Hiat he forgot to salute back. Instead, he found him self shaking hands with the Colonel. In the M ayor’s car, with the May or in front and Mr. Winkle and a w eepy A m y alone In the back seat, they paraded through the town to the blaring accom panim ent of the band and cheering people wlio threw a great m any bits of paper from the buildings. M r. W inkle waved and waved his good arm , and it w as borne in upon him that it w as m ost m en’s dream com e true, notably be cause this tim e no one called out derisively. Finally they w ere deposited in front of their house, where a num ber of people w ere gathered. Among them w as Mr. W escott, who had evi dently com e out to see for him self. And having seen, he didn’t find any reason to laugh now. H e couldn’t say anything at all when he opened his m outh in that endeavor, but sim ply stood there with his U ia part ed, gaping. Mr. Winkle greeted him w arm ly mid shook hands before going on with Am y up their walk. M r. Onward, the reportographer, whom Mr. Winkle had seen at Uie station taking * pictures, followed them up the walk. “Listen,” M r. Onward asked rather hum bly, ‘.’how about an interview?” “N o,” said Mr. Winkle, “no inter view .” “But—” M r. Onward began to plead. “U se the sam e one you' printed before,” Mr. Winkle suggested. “That w as a good one.” Alone together in their house, M rs. Winkle dabbed at her eyes with her The Colonel pinned the m edal on his tunie. handkerchief, touched his m edal with one finger, dabbed som e m ore, and asked, “W hoever would have thought—?” “Not m e,” said Mr. Winkle. “Not I,” she corrected. She spoke a Uttle sharply, as if trying to hide her emoUons or expressing a desire to bring him down a peg in case his popularity m ight have, gone to his head. In trying to determ ine which it w as, Mr. W iokle saw the answer to his speculation on whether or-not Am y would continue in her new re gard for him , or revert to the old, H e found a number of things to support his belief that w ar had changed her as perm anently as it had him. She would not find it comfortable to henpeck a national hero. [THE EN D] Ia J L SELECTED FICTION GIFTED AUTHORS IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAYIcHooL L esso n BY HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D.

FIO NtlERS OF I a n H U jssoN lTC^--GefiejU li:!; I: Acts T: 4-7, 12-17. v- ■ GOLDEN TEXT—ByfaltfiAbraham, when he was called, obeyed . . . and be'Weht out, not knowing whither be wenfc—Hehrews U:S. Bible history is a story of m en of faith called and used of God to car ry out H is purpose’ Hii the world. These thrilling accounts' of worths while lives, are: to b e our 'special concern durtag th e Hnree months w e study the history of Isrhel "and of the Church. I. A Can and a Cdviiiaiit (Gen. 12:1,2). God w as now ready to- m ake known H is choice o f a main' to be the father of H is chosen people. H e w ent down into Ur of the.C haldees in the m idst of heathen worship, and called oiit a m an who had faith in the true God. Abram, “when he w as called to go out into a place which he should after reeeive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he w ent «mt, not know ing whither he went” (Heb. 11:8)., The Lord called him out from his own land and kindred, to get him aw ay from his heathen, forebears and their worship. God w ants sep arated believers in our- day, too (read and ponder J I Cor. 6:17, 18). That call com es to eVery 'believer. To those who are to serve Him, there is a definite call m uch like Abram’s (see M att. 10:37-39). With the call cam e a great cov enant, a seven-fold prom ise giveii ih G enesis 12:2, 3. That covenant God repeatedly renewed w ith Abraham and his descendants. It has been partially fulfilled, and God has put H im self on record that every bit of it shall be com pleted. H e keeps His prom ises. Why did Gbd choose Israel? It w as an act of His sovereign grace, not based on their m erit or good ness: H e had a threefold purpose: (I) That they should be the reposi tory for His truth (the Old Testa m ent) in the earth; (2) that they should be the channel for the com ing of the personal R edeem er to the earth; (3) that they should be a na tional w itness.to Hie one true God am id the nations of the earth. They accom plished two of these, but failed in the last, and are now under God’s judgm ent for that sin and failure. n . Obedience and Opportunity (A cts 7:4-7). Abram went out at Goifk com mand, even though he knew that it m eant suffering and trial, being obe dient without quesHon or hesitation. Bible history reveals that God de lights to do m ighty things for those who give Him unquestioning obedi- ence. God did great things for Abra ham,: and yet he did not live to see the fulfillm ent of the prom ise. He knew it w as to be so, realizing that God’s plan w as to be carried out in the children: which he did not yet have (see Heb. 11:9-11). Here is a lesson for us. O urfaith today, and the m easure In which we apprehend the grace of God to r life and service, w ill bless not only us, but our children (PS. 103:17). For their sakes w e ought to Seek to in crease the spiritual heritage of our fam ilies. .Certainly w e should do nothing to blight their lives (Exod. 34:7). One m ay not be able to boast of the greatness and fineness of one’s ancestors, but' One can- be deter m ined by the grace of GOd to be a good ancestor. ' Observe that Abraham’s obedi ence opened up the whole history of blessing and usefulness to the entire naUon of Israel, a history not yet concluded by any m eans. Think w hat opportunity he m ight have de stroyed by disobedience. H I. A Fam ily and Its Faith (Acts 7:12-17). Stephen, a portion of whose ad dress of defense before the council is here before us, review s the his tory of God’s dealings w ith Israel. Tracing the line down HiriHigh Abra ham , Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, he recalls how God provided a haven of plenty for them in E gypt until they were ready to be brought up' into the possession of their inheritanCe-- Uie- land of Palestine. Lack of'space forbids the review ot th elivesofih 'ese pioneers offaith, The study wbuld' be- m ost, illum inat ing, for it r e p e a t i^ throws into sharp 'CoHtrast tito aw fal failures of these m en Tffieh they forgot Gea; and- the m ighty victories they gained when they-beu& yea Him; In spito of their IiH ures they-were essentially m en offaith , for God has counted tbem .w brthy of a place in that rem arkable list of heroes of faith, found in H ebrews 11 (see w . 17-22).

Your Swiss chard leaves most tender and the stems at their crispest? Every vegetable in the Victory Garden has best stages for eating, before and after which their goodnes£ is considerably less than one hundred per cent. Snap beans should be picked before f “ the seeds inside the pods have formed. If some of them get past that stage before you can use them, let the beans grow to full size and use them as green shells. Peas should be picked when the pods are plump and bright green. When pea pods are somewhat wrinkled and show streaks of white, the peas are too old for enjoyable eating. Cut the outer leaves of Swiss chard when they are no more than ten or twelve inches long. Let the Inner ones continue to grow, always cutting before they are grown to full size. Be sure to cut sprouting broccoli while the buds are green and tightly closed. When Htey open and begin to show a hint of yellow, they have lost their fresh new goodness. Cauliflow er, oousin to sprouting broccoli, should have heads that are firm and creamy white. Spongy looking heads are past their prime. Too young sweet com has neither flavor nor substance; too old, it is mealy and usually tough. Ifs exactly right when ears are well filled and kernels spurt milky juice at the prick of a thumb nail. Cut kohl rabi bulbs when between one and three inches in diameter. Larger than that they are likely to be tough as shoe leather. Turnips are best at medium size, rutabagas when fully grown under cool moist con ditions. Let parsnips and salsify or vegetable oyster stay in the ground until late fall. Then the roots should be fully developed. Some of them can be dug for winter use, but plan to leave at least part of the crop in the ground over winter. Dig them in early spring for flavor unsurpassed.

Bailey has introduced a bill in the upper branch of Congress which is both w ise and tim ely. H e proposes an outright ban on royalty paym ents to labor leaders, such as that exacted by “ Caasar’’ Petrillo from the musical recording com panies and such also as John L. Lewis bas dem anded in asking for a levy o f 10 cents a ton on coal for the benebt o f his m iners’ union m em bers "W e let Petrillo hold up manu factures o f recordings for five cents a record,” com m ents Bailey. "John L Lewis saw Pctrillo gettin g away w ith it. so he asks 10 centB on every ton o f coal. I w ant to stop it now before it becom es a general tax on consum ers . . . The greatest com plaint in ancient tim es w as that the governm ent farm ed out the taxes. We are now in the process o f farm ing out taxes to the big labor lead •*s” The nation needs such legislation and needs it now in order to fore stall any further efforts on the part of union labor leaders to secure such extortionate concessions. One should be able to think th at a measure of this kind would be quick Iy approved bv the U nited States Senate. But not likely. Too m apy m em bers o f Congress ow e too many labor organizati ns to cross swords w ith them even in a cause in which the National interest could so obviously be served as in this instance. —Charlotte Observer.

Atty. Contemptible Politics The State. T o-our w ay o f th inkin g, there’s nothing m ore contem ptible about politics than thatlbrand of polittcal m anedvertng w hich pops up at prac- tically every session of th e G eneral A ssem bly and has to do w ith un fair and undem ocrat c treatm ent of tb e m inority party In this state. I t is absolutely w ithout justifica tion, and those so-called Dem ocrats w ho participate in it are no credit to their party because by their stand they are repudiating every, th in g for w hich th e party stands. T here are a hundred counties in North- Carolina. A bout sixteen of these are R epublican. T h e reason th ey ’re R epublican is because the m ajority o f voters w ithin their boundaries are R epublican. T hat being so, those sixteen counties should be allow ed to have Repub* lican units of adm inistration. T hey should be perm itted to run their affairs w ithout outside interference by th e Dem ocrats. "B ut,’' a D em oeratic m em ber of th e G eneral A ssem bly from the western part of the state told us, the R epublicans are a bunch of crooks. If you don’t w atch them , th ey’ll raise their local ta x rates and th ey’ll have all kind ot finan cial crookedness.” W e don’t believe that for a m o m ent. B ut even if that were cor rect, w by shauld be interfere? W hat right has be or any other Dem ocrat from som e other county to m eddle w ith tbe affairs in this R epublican couuty? T here may. be all kinds of crookedness going on, but it’s none of bis business. It’s tbe business o f th e people w ho live- in that county. M ost of them are R epublicans. Y ou can’t differen tiate In vour ta x rate betw een R e. publicans and D em ocrats T hey both have to pay the sam e rate. N ow then; do you suppose that th e R epublican taxpayers in a R e publican county are going to stand for crookedness just because the m en at th e bead of county affairs are Republicans? Do you suppose that they're going to perm it their sheriffs, their registers of deeds, their clerks o f th e court to pay them selves exorbitant salaries? D o you think fora mom ent that they're going to tU erate needless aud was* teful extravagance? D on’t be silly! T he on ly reason w hy Dem ocrats from other counties m ess w ith tbe affairs o f W ilkes C ounty (tor e x am ple) is because th ey w ant to put som e D em ocrat into office. And so, tfaev’ll look for all sorts of w ays ot doing this T hey discover tbat a certain area of W ilkes has a D e m ocratic m ajority A bill is intro duced, proposing that instead of electing county com m issioners on a county-w ide basis, th ey shall be e- lected by tow nships. T h e R epub Iican m em ber from W ilk s how ls in protest, but nobody pays any at. tention to him T he bill is pass ed over his objections, and thus a De m ocrat is elected. ‘‘W ait a m in u te,’’ som e one hol lers “ If that particular section of your R epublican county is D em o cratic, th ey ought to be entitled to D em ocratic representation on tbe board of countv com m issioners." M y friend, w e’ll agree w ith yon one thousand per cent, providing that you w ill endorse th e sam e pol icy in D em ocratic counties which have Rapublicau m ajorities in car tain areas L et us say that there are three m em bers of the county board of education in a certain R epublican county. T hese three are R epubli. cans. T b e D cm octatic Senator from th at distr'ct introduces a bill pro viding for tbe increase o f th is num ber to seven. T he four additional m em bers nam ed in this bill are D e m ocrats. T his gives the Dem ocrats control of tb e board, four to three. T here are som e politicians w ho consider sm art politics, but we call It ju st about as dirty a piece of business as can be put into practice. W hen a Dem ocratic m em ber o f tb e G eneral A ssem bly from W il son, B ertie, G uilford or H alifax in troduces a piece o f local legislation, tb e attitude of th e b ig m ajority ot m em bers is to let him pass it w ith out opposition, unless there is som ething palpably w rong w ith it. W e have heard m ore than one leg islator say: “ It’s h is little rrd wa gon: let him go ahead and pull it. If th e people don’t lik e w hat be is doing, th ey can get rid of him very quickly.'' T his sam e attitude should prevail In connection w ith R epublican m em bers, and th e sam e courtesy should be extended to them . T bev are directly responsible to th e vot ers of their county. E egardless of w hether a voter is a R epublican or a Dem ocrat, he w ants efficient and econom ical governm ent in bis coun. ty. If a county Is predom inantly R epublican, then m ost of tb e bill has to be paid by R epublicans, and tlsey are no more w illing to have their taxes incraased than are the Dem ocrats. W e hope that at tb e n ext session o f th e legislature, w hen one of these unfair and discrim inatory bills is introduced, tbe fair-m inded m em bers w ill see to it tb at it is killed im m ediately. [T h e above article w as written by Carl G oerch, edltoi of T b e State m agazine. Carl is a Dem ocrat, but he believes in b ew ing to tn e line, letting th e chips fall where they m ay.

Court Expense And Reform The em bezzlem ent action against Dr. Leon M eadows, form er presid ent of E. C. T. C. coat the State $16,- OOO in the trial which ended in a mistrial a few days ago, and th e de fense is said to have expended $18,- 000. The trial was the longest in the criminal category to be held in a North Carolina court. Rumors are now bruited about in Raleigh to the effect that D r. Mea dows m ay not be fried again, own ing to th e large costs involved in an other long trial, and related consid erations. To drop tbe action now would do both the State and D r. M eadows an injustice. Tbe unproven charge nevertheless is not disproven. The case rem ains in status quo and untii a jury vindicates him , if it does, D r. M eadows m ust rem ain under a Bha- dow . And unless tb e defendant is adjudged guilty or not gu ilty through due process o f law every petty th ief who com es into court w ill have tbe rigut to ask w hether w e have one sort o f justice for little thieves who snatch up m oney or a piece o f pro perty on th e spur o f tbe m om ent and another kind o f ju st for those thieves who deliberately and syste m atically steal in their advantaged positions o f trust through the process politely or euphem istically called em bellem ent.

Mis trials, especially in long trials, are very costly luxuries. It occurs here that in cases where in capital punishm ent is not invol ved the unanim ous jury verdict should be dispensed w ith in favor of a three-fourths or five-sixths major ity verdict.

Hard to do? No, easy if you follow instructions. M any are the cooks who have baked perfect bread the first tim e they’ve tried. Kneading is important, but this is not difficult. This is done by push ing the heel part of the palm down into the dough and folding over, then repeating the process over and over again. Once you establish the rou tine, there’s a kind of fascinating rhythm to it. The dough should be kneaded until satiny and smooth. Don’t try to hurry up the rising process. It takes just so long, and good bread can’t be hurried along. The tem perature should be fairly warm , around 80 to 85 degrees Fah renheit for bread raising. If you want to avoid the dark streaks in bread, add all the flour at the tim e of m ixing. If added lat er, flour gives a coarse texture and m akes unattractive streaks in the bread. Two processes are used in mak ing bread. If the sponge method is em ployed, the yeast is allowed to work in a batter-like m ixture be fore other ingredients are combined with it. In the straight method, all ingredients are' combined at once. If you are trying to save on sug ar, here is a good recipe to follow for m aking bread: *Enriched Bread. (IVfakes 4 1-pound loaves) 2 cups m ilk H cup light corn syrup or honey 4 teaspoons salt 2 tablespoons shortening 2 cups water I cake yeast 1A cup water (lukewarm) 12 caps sifted enriched floor Scald milk.

When dough is stiff, place on lightly floured board and lmead until satiny and smooth. Shape into smooth bail. Place in greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dou bled in bulk. Punch down. L et rise again. When light, divide into 4 equal portions. Hound up each por tion into a smooth ball. Cover and let rise 10 to 15 m inutes. Mold into loaves.

THE FOUNDING OF THE NATION LESSON TEXT—Exodus 18:19*24; 19:3-8. GOLDEN TEXT—Righteousness ex&lteth ft nation; but sin Is a reproach to any people. —Proverbs 14:34. God has a purpose for the lives of m en and of nations. Happy are those who seek H is guidance so that their lives m ay be directed in right and useful channels. God’s threefold purpose for Israel, which w e noted in our lesson of last w eek, could only be worked out in a nation which w as separated unto Him , following holiness in its life and service. M oses, one of the greatest and m ost able figures of all history, w as God’s appointed leader. H is success is explained by his willingness to fol low God’s leading. H e sought: I. God’s Counsel (18:19). Jethro, the father-in-law of M oses, having observed how he w as bur dened constantly by the affairs of the people, cam e to offer him ad vice. H e started in the right place, by urging M oses to continue to seek God, yes, to spend even m ore tim e in the Lord’s presence, asking H is wisdom and guidance. No m an can lead a people in the right w ay if he does not have his own life in constant touch with the throne of God. M uch of the failure of our day centers right there. We talk m uch to other m en about our national and international problem s. There are multiplied m eetings and conferences. They do have value, but very little, unless there is a seeking of God’s w ill. A day of national repentance and prayer would do m ore for us than m any w eeks of discussion and de bate. We need to seek God’s coun sel. N ote that the com ing of M oses to God concerned the daily affairs of his people. That rem inds us that not only the life of our nation, but that of our own hom es—and our personal beings—all need God’s counsel. To aid M oses in adm inistering the affairs of the nation, Jethro recom m ended the appointm ent of m en who w ere to serve as: n . God's Counselors (18:2U-24). There has been not a little criti cism of M oses for accepting this ad vice. It is pointed out that when God puts heavy burdens on us, the w ay out is not to shift the load on som eone else, but to seek God’s spe cial grace to bear it and to do it acceptably. There is value in such an interpre tation; but when one considers the devout and careful approach of Jeth ro to the m atter (w . 9-12) and his evident desire to glorify God in it all, there is ground for believing that he w as giving M oses good advice. The great unorganized host of pos sibly two m illion people w ere going through a very difficult experience. The result w as dissension and strife, often over trivial-things, which need ed to be settled. For all this to com e to M oses seem ed undesirable; there fore other m en were chosen to be counselors to the people, inter preting for them the law and the w ill of God. While each of us should carry every God-given responsibility with gladness, that does not m ean that w e are to. assum e that only w e are able to do things. There is no m ore tragic figure than the pastor or church officer who tries to do every thing. Why not put others to work? How can our young people and new converts ever find a place of service if older Christians hold on to every job in the church? Let us train them ; then trust them with real re sponsibility. Counsel, encourage, pray, direct if need be, but do not try to do it all yourself! Now w e com e to the solem n and crucial m om ent when God w as ready to establish H is people and they w ere ready to accept: I n . God’s Covenant (19:3-8). In the sacred and awe-inspiring m eeting place before Mount Sinai, where the Lord w as to give them H is law (Exod. 20), they m ade a sol em n covenant with God. In preparation for it H e rem inded them of what H e had done for them in the past. God is the unchanging One. If H e w as tender and gracious toward them in the past, they could enter the future confident of His blessing. And so m ay we! Note verses 5 and 6, for they give us God’s great purpose for Israel. A ll they had to do w as to obey His voice by keeping H is covenant. This they, in solem n assem bly, agreed to do (v. 8 ). How different their his tory—and that of the world—would have been had they kept their prom ise. We lam ent their failure, but what about us who are so highly favored that w e have Christ in our midst? Are w e obedient? Following the m aking of the cove nant (which God w ill one day fulfill in spite of their failure), w e have the giving of the Ten Command m ents, and the establishm ent of Is rael’s center of Worship in the tab ernacle. It w as the dwelling place of God among H is people. How precious! SEWING CIRCLE NEEDLECRAFT ‘South of Border’ Tea Towels TNDULO-E in a riot of color in A these “South of the Border” tea tow els.

U 3 MacARTHUR-KIRK DUEL WASHINGTON— In a highly se- cret session before the senate m ill- tary affairs com m ittee last Thurs day, Gen. George M arshall, arm y chief of staff, reftised to guess when the end of the w ar with Germany will com e. According to all logic, he said, the German resistance should be at an end. now, but there is no ugn that the arm y is collapsing. The Gestapo still retains its hold of ter ror on Germany. M arshall pointed out that German gasoline stocks are practically dried up, and that the N azis do not have enough fuel to m ove their supplies, let alone their armored vehicles and artillery. On the other hand, he said, their supply-problem is far sim pler than ours because they are fighting at hom e. Their repair and replacem ent job for tanks and other vehicles is also com paratively sim ple. When Allied armor is knocked out, it m eans that it is lost if the dam age is too m uch for the field re pair bases, while a N azi tank which has suffered far m ore serious dam age can be taken right into a tank factory not so m any m iles from where it w as hit. This is a trem en dous advantage, he said. The chief of staff also told the senators that it is a m istake to figure that the Japs w ill fold up quickly once Germany is out of the war. Although its losses have been heavy, Japan still has a form idable arm y and vast stores of supplies. H e would not estim ate the length of tim e need ed to defeat the island em pire. But he insisted it would be ex trem ely tough going. M arshall said nothing during this session about his plan to take over as suprem e commander in the Pa cific once Germany falls, but m em bers of the com m ittee now take that, for granted. Explanation? General MacArthur’s arm y friends in W ashington have a unique explan ation for his refusal to let M aj. Gen.' Norm an Kirk, surgeon general of the arm y, visit Manila on his recent inspection tour. They say private ly that no suitable housing w as available for General Kirk. One MacArthur supporter, who is fam il iar with the Kirk incident, added, “When you are a five-star general, you don’t have to give an explana tion for what you do.” Further details of General M ac Arthur’s refusal to let General Kirkl touch foot even on the Island of Luzon in order to inspect arm y hos-’ pitals there have now leaked out. Kirk, as head of the arm y m edical corps, arrived in Leyte with a staff of m edical experts ready to place them in strategic positions in Luzon where fighting w as heavy at that tim e. As a courtesy to MacArthdr, Kirk radioed him from Leyte island that he w as com ing. H e' received in reply a m essage saying that his presence w as not needed. Scarcely believing his eyes, General Kirk gave M acArthur a chance to change his mind by sending another telegram which said in substance: “Don't under stand your m essage. Do yon m ean by your telegram number so-and-so that m y assistance is not w elcom e?” General MacArthnr’s reply w as brief and to the point.

TH E DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE, N. C. R C ffl LESS COWBO ftI - A L A N L e M A Y s& RviceW.N.U CHAPTER I Melody Jones and his side-rider, George Fury, had not expected to wind up in PayneviHe. They had m eant , to ride to Hot Creek, down near .the M exican border; but som e miscalculation in crossing the Red Cloud plains had got them into a wrong pass through the W oll E ars, causing a m iss of nearly one hun dred dusty m iles. Consequently, as they rounded the shoulder of som e mountain—it later turned out to be B ig Bone Ledge— they were rocked in their saddles by the sight of a sizable town im m e diately below. It stood out clearly in the hot bright light, a straggling disorder upon vast ragged plains. Its roofs of grey weathered shakes shone like m etal in the hard sm ash of the sun. Old Geqrge Fury looked surprised. The town w as big enough to hold several hundred people, and it gave George a creepy sense of insecurity to see it appear out of nowhere. He put his hand over his eyes and rubbed them a little, but when he looked again it w as still there, shim mering dustily in the sun. Melody didn't look any special way. At twenty-two he w as lanky and relaxed, and looked four years younger than his age. H e w as very seldom surprised, for he never ■expected any one particular thing, but took unexplained events as they came. “I should judge she’s a cow town,” Melody said. “I can tell by the cor- Tals.” George Fury snorted. Corrals or not, the town could not possibly have been anything else. “Y ou plumb .astound m e,” he sa id .' Melody shrugged. “Them things is easy for m e.” George Fury knew him self to be over fifty years old, but had quit counting, not liking to think about this. He w as spare and rope-necked, with a m ustache som ething like a dead mouse, and gim lety eyes, sun- faded to an indiscrim inate eye-color. One shoulder w as higher than Hie ether, and he sat crookedly in his saddle, lim ping as he rode. “It beats m e how she com e here,” George Fury said, staring at the town. “I mind one night I rode into Salice,” Melody said, “and it w as right where I thunk it w as, and all, only some w ay I com e into it from the east, instead of from the w est. Feller don’t live that can figger them things through.” Melody could not carry a tune, so of coiurse liked to sing, but h e did not get his nam e from this. H isreal name was M elvin, and this had got changed to M elody at Javelina, Tex as, where the Rio Grande draws the wandering border with M exico. The M exican people could not pronounce M elvin, seem ingly; by the tim e they were through batting it around it W is nearer M elody than anything else. Jones did not object; the north- trail cowboys could not pronounce Javelina, either. They caUed it Musk Hog. George Fury snorted again, and pushed his shaggy pony down the twist of the trail toward, the town which he did not yet know w as Pcyneville. PaynevHle w as a crossing town. A wagon route w est from Diamond Forks to California crossed the river here, and trail herds of cattle, push ing north to the railroad, forded the- sam e shaHows. The river w as the Poisonberry, heU-dry in sum m er and a howling flood in the spring. An early trader had nam ed it the Straw berry, because he w ished he had some, but later w agoners watched their Conestogas tumble end over end in the spring rise, and changed the nam e. Nobody ever sang any songs about m oonlight on the silvery Poisonberry, rolling on, ever on, to Syrup Creek. Up on PaynevUle’s Boot H ill there is stiH a sandstone slab m arking the grave of this town's founder, and carved upon it, perhaps by an en em y, are his alleged last words: “Thank God I am a Payne . . .” As they drew closer, riding be tween the bones of vanished buffalo, Payneville looked dustier, and m ore ramshackle. They entered Uxe town through a drift of ruined huts, stared at by m estizo children; and turned at a slow plod into Court Street. Melody w as riding m ore watchfully now, m ade alert, in spite of him self, by George Fury’s nervousness. He consciously stiffened his face. Melody Jones had a secret ambition to earn the title of “U nsm iling Jones,” ' and com m and im m ediate respect wherever . he appeared. Whenever he rode into a new cow camp he rem em bered this fo r «an hour or two, and preserved as rigid an expression as he could. George Fury glanced sidew ays at him. “W hat in hell’s the m atter with you? You got your snoozle snubbed up like you w as going to bawl." Melody modified his expression somewhat, as w en as he could. Melody had originally started out from Two Lance, M ontana, at four teen or fifteen, on the occasion of his father being roUed on by a cow in Montana’s rustlers’ war; but the wandering cow-trails he had fol lowed had been pretty shy of people. N early everything he lrnew about people he had learned from horses and cows, and that w as his trouble. E very m ortal soul w as a personal uncertainty; unaccustom ed eyes bothered him like flies. George Fury w as looking for the first saloon, and to see what the scat houses looked like, but Melody’s eyes took in aU details equaUy, whether they had' any m eaning or not. H e estim ated the amount of jerky hanging up in a M exican outdoor beanery, and his cattle-counting eye told him there w ere forty-seven strips about a yard long. H e saw a -camp-robber jay steal som e frijoles from a sleeping M exican. Just be yond the beanery stood the first bar, which w as beginning to moult its silver-grey clapboards—the oldest buUding in town. But the builder had m isjudged the future center of town, and now found him self at the foot of the street; so that this w as natural ly caUed the First Chance on one side of its sign, and Last Chance on the other. George Fury, who som etim es took four days to pass a given saloon, would not get any farther, just yet. 5% “I should judge she’s a cow town.” H e turned his jfony to the hitch rail and swung down rustUy; and Mel ody Jones w as freeing him self from the saddle, on which he seem ed to have m elted and stuck, when a girl cam e on to the street. M elody didn’t see where she cam e from ; as he looked up she w as there. H e couldn’t see her face, because she w as walking aw ay from him , down the unmended boardwalk, but he forgot George Fury, and lost in terest in the First Chance Bar. Mel ody hadn’t seen a white girl in hear ty seven months. “Now what?” George grunted. “Huh?” A casual wind - devil kicked a tw irl of dust into M elody’s face; he dug at his eyes with buck skin knuckles, and sat there like a fool. “Froze to thet huH?” "Who, m e?” M elody sounded vague and senseless. “Well, I—I—I feel kind of like a can tom aters.” “You look som ething like a can tom aters,” George criticized. “N ever you m ind,” M elody said. “I’m going on down to the store.” George Fury looked at Melody queerty, and started to say som e thing. H e Imew that M elody had no m oney in his pants; aU they had be tw een them w as a few doUars George had m anaged to keep hold of. It w as in his mind to hoUer after Melody, and give him a buck. But he sm othered this idea, and went into the F irst Chance, rolling creakity on his run-over high heels. M elody pushed his dopy pony on up the street, through the soft dust. H e w as foUowing the girl along with an innocent detachm ent that would have kUled George Fury. H e w as like a dog who goes walking with a stranger, never looking'directly at his companion, never getting near, but drawing a sort of undemanding com fort from the vague association of tim e and place. B esides w atching the girl, he saw that the boards of the Occidental's sign w ere spUtting in the sun, and that an Apache Indian, asleep full length on the walk before the Grand E astern Hotel, w as drawing flies. The few shaggy ponies along the hitch-rails w ere saddled with center- fire and three-quarter rigs, hung w ith rawhide reatas, so he knew he w as am ong the daUy-men again. This touched him with a faint con tem pt a cowm an com m only feels for any w ay of riding but his own. Melody w as a double-rig, tie-fast m an. The girl went into the Lost Dutch, m an Saloon. The wind went out of M elody, so definitely that his pony took advan tage of him and stopped. M elody sat where he w as for a m om ent or two before he started it again. “Got a right to get thirsty, ain't she?” he explained her to him self. “Why in hell shouldn’t she get thirsty? Nuts." H e angled across the .dust to the General Store, and tossed his reins loose across die rack. The pony’s nam e w as Harry Henshaw, accord ing to Melody, and he had been with Melody long enough to learn that he had better stand, lest a worse thing happen next. Harry Henshaw toed in a little on the nigh side, and didn’t look like m uch; and because of this he w as the only pony, out of the scores M elody had owned, that no body had bothered to get aw ay from Melody. A s M elody went up the steps to the store’s broad gaUery he w as wary and watchful again. Two men, a big one and a Uttle one, loafed on the gaUery, just outside the door. Both wore low-strapped forty-fives, the sam e as Melody him self, except that M elody’s w as in the thigh pock et of his ragged shot-gun chaps. They wore the easy clothes of cow m en ,-b u t-th at did not necessarUy prove what they w ere. M elody stiffened his face. The shorter m an m et his eyes briefly, an im personal, cool flick of pinched pu pils. The other didn't look at him at aU, so M elody w as able to study him better—a m an long-geared but com pact, with an expressionless face of deep-carved jack pine. H is eyes w ere aw ake but lazy, Iikel the flat side of a knife. WhUe M elody looked at him , the m an’s eyes changed, then the whole face. The eyes sharpened to a quick focus, not on M elody, but across the street; and it w as as if the sleepy knife had turned point first and sung past M elody’s ear. M elody turned slowly on his high heel, feet apart to clear his long- shanked spur, and foUowed the m an’s eyes. It w as like M elody thought. The girl had com e out of the Lost Dutchm an. N ot thirsty aft er all. Looking for somebody. The m an by the door w as whis tling through his teeth, a stanza of “Chizzum T rail.’’ It m ight have been the part about the night stam pede, or the last of Ihe Old Two-Bars; but M elody knew better. Unhurriedly, but with no trace of thought at aU, M elody took two long, strolling steps, and knocked the stranger down. H e used the heel of his right hand, without closing his fist; he had un derstood that waUop for a long tim e. The heel- of a hand, swung full-arm , packs nearly the sam e w eight as a fist; but afterward, you get credit for downing your m an with a slap of the open hand. A good thing to have said of you, especially if the other man. w asn’t looking, as now. The stranger’s hat flew off, and his head spun sidew ays, slam m ing against the board front with a boom that shook the store. Inside the waU som e tinware feU down, quicker to faU than the m an who w as struck. After the tinware’s first crash som e m ore of it feU m ore slowly, so that the occasional clatter of a pie tin or a bread pan kept sounding at irregu lar intervals for som e tim e. The m an him self half buckled at the knees, his face a blank am aze m ent. H e sUd sidew ays against the wall, and cam e down sitting on his hat. M elody stood watching the feUow shake his head and feel out the workings-of his jaw, and M elody had never been worse dumbfounded in his Ufe. The astonishm ent of the m an he had hit w as nothing, along side his own. M elody w as estim at ing now the exact distance, in thou sandths of a second, betw een the stranger’s -hand, slackly palm up on the floor of the gaUery, and the black butt of the stranger’s gun, al ready half out of its leather by its own weight. It w as no better than three inches aw ay, or possibly three and a half. The hand didn’t look like a cowm an’s hand—m uch m ore like a bunch of bananas, realty, but that is just the kind that knows its business, very often. M elody w as beginning to sw eat a little now. Up from the wooden face the stranger’s eyes w ere looking a t M et ody Uke a couple of cactus buds. Melpdy stooped and got a p ip on the gun arm w ith both hands, his head canted to bounce off a possible crusher from the stranger’s left. The arm -w as tense and-ridged, m ade of wagon tires, or som ething. M dody pretended to help the other up, half had ing h im to his feet* but keeping' him off balance; and he began to talk as fast as he could, which w as a kind of a loping drawl. “WeU,. now," M elody said, "that’s sure too bad. How come-that? Your -foot slip, you reckon?” : H e hoped afterward that he had sounded gruff and hard, but h e rem em bered pretty dearly that he had stum bled along in a sort of a thin bleat. 1X0 B E CONTINUED) SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS Jumper-Jacket for Sports, Street Jum perJacket VTERSATILE and a weU-loved ' style is the jum per-jacket.

China offers oppor tunity only if investments will be safe there after the war. Less than ten years ago When I lived there no body, except In a few favored spots, dared own a paying business. If looal warlords didn’t confiscate such enterprises, bandits would plunder them. Chiang Kai-shek will remedy this, I trust, if he can enjoy united cooperation from his present allies.Business Not Safe Bi order to make profitable busi ness safe In China, it WDi he necessary to have a strong, representa tive government Oovemment must be able to crush foe rule of countless local warlords at home and command the respeot and recognition of other first-rate world powers. Brvestment of capital there depends upon die oreation of a set of conditions that do not now exist.Developments that might take place In China in SS years of private enterprise are staggering to think about. China’s population is three times ours. Chhia has one billion dollars Invested In industry, we have 130 billion. America’s capital invest-, ment Is $600 per person; China’s is $2.60. Chinese stiu farm with hoes while their soldiers fight with Ameri can-made guns.Selfishness KBb Some short-sighted person b al most certain to ask: '1Why should we help industrialise Chine, teach them Imiw to build wealth and beat us at our own game?” The idea is silly. We wQl prosper with China. ProspeNtie customers always help. For Insisii ne, Htara ate MO million people far the lands south of BI Paso; lass than a tenth as many live in industrialized Canada. But Canada buys approximately as much from us. China needs 26,000 locomotives, 2 0.million tractors and other items in proportion. China also has valu able things to trade for America’s goods. It would take 100 billion dol lars or more to make her competi tive with the United States industrially, but nine billion would bring her up to about our horse- and-buggy days. After that she could finance herself. If we can help. Chlang Kai-shek to stabilise China politically there i» little doubt the cash would be available.

Life’s Better Way Rev. Walter E. lsenbour. Hiddeoite. N. C. C H A IN L E T T E R S For m any years I have received what is know n as *‘C hain L etters, and of course you have too, dear reader. L ots o f people are puzzled to know w bat to m ake of such let ters. T hey don’t know w hether to heed th e w arning and not "break th e chain," or pay no attention, I ’m going to say frankly and I be lieve I am right, I don’t think there is anything m uch to sncb letters. I have broken every chain yet, as I have never answered th e first one yet. N ow you can do w hatever yon think best about it T he fact o f the m atter is m any peo ple, are afraid to “ break th e chain" because th ey are threatened w ith som e m isfortune if th ey do T his leads me to believe that th ey w rite snch letters because o f th e threat and not for th e good th ey m ay do. N ow m any, m any of these letters fall into th e hands o f sinners, and th ey are to w rite th e prayer and and send it on ju st th e sam e as Christians. Do you tbink G od hears the prayers o f sinners? A c cording to H is holy word H e doesn’t except th e prayer of repentance. T hen another th in g w e know , and that is, C hristians don’t have to be w ritten to in order to get them , to pray, unlsss it is som e special re quest I try to spend an hour a day In praver, but do doubt m any of those w ho w rite these “ chain letters” don’t spend tw o m inutes a day in prayer. M ultitudes of them don’t pray at all, and how m uch is it worth to w rite a prayer, or that w hich is supposed to be a prayer, and send it around over th e coun try. A nother th ing th ey tell us in "chain letters" is that th ey m ust go around th e world, say four tim es W ho on earth can tell w hen they go around th ey w orld four tim es, or if they ever go around the world? T h ey circulate around through the country, and m aybe no one of them goes around the w orld, w hich is tw enty five thousand m iles. T hey tell us to pray for th e war to close. I f th ey w ould tell us to pray for men and nations to repent, w hich is th e reasonable th ing, then G od would close th e war. It m ight be a good thing to w rite letters one to another, and is, asking for prayer for certain things, but not-send out letters w ith a threat o f calam it and m isfortune if w e “ break th e chain ’’ Jesus said: “ M en ough t al. w ay to pray, and not to faint." (L u k e 18 11. T his is wbat-I re gard, and not “ chain letters." N o doubt som e of th e "chain letters." are started on their round by un godly people, or by hypocrites, or b y sinners. W ho know s w ho starts them ? w hy not w rite good letters to Christian people asking them to pray for certain needs, or for sin ners to be saved, or for revivals, and so on, rather than letters that threaten us w ith calam ity if we “ break th e ch ain .” Every Man In Army To GetTrip W ashington— T he w ar w ith G er m any m ay be draw ing rapidly to a close, but Secretary o f W aF Stim - son again has em phasized that th*s does not m ean th e war is over for a lot o f our soldiers.

May Get More Meat T h e W ar Food A dm inistration at W ashington is considering relax ing Federal m eat inspection re quirem ents to help ease th e civilian beef shortage. B y easing th e regulations, yet not affecting th e meat quality, the arm y could m eet som e ot Us meat de m ands through local slaughterers, instead of having to rely entirely on the larger packers w ho have federal inspection. T he effect would be to m ake m ore federally inspected m eat avail able In those areas w hich are w hol ly dependent upon the products of packers doing u nation w ide busi ness. A nother com m ittee suggestion— that th e aitny take over closed packing plants and process its own beef direct from ranges and feed lots— is being studied by th e arm y. R elaxing of Federal slaughter in spectlon requirem ents, A nderson said, w ill not affect th e quality of any m eat. It w ill m ean sim ply that slaughtering plants located in areas not now reached by federal inspectors can qualify for sale to the governm ent on th e strength of state inspection. Seoator Wheeler Asks Reasonable Question W ashington — The current m eat shortage w ill again be the topic of hearing by the Senate. A griculture com m ittee. In the m eantim e. De m ocratic Senator Burton K W beeler o f M ontana has already given news men bis own com m ent on the m eat situation. - W heeler put it this way: ‘W e’ve got th e cattle on th e ranges.

May Be A LongWay Home W ashington—For thousand o f A merican fam ilies, the approach o f victory day in Europe has raised one all-im portant question — How soon after Germany’s defeat w ill the boys com e home? The answ er, as given by the top m ilitary and civilian plan ners In W ashington, is bound to be a hisappointm ent to many. The fact is that relativelv few w ill be m uster ed out right aw ay. Som e w ill be able to stop off at hom e for a few weeks — perhaps a m onths, on their way through to the Pacific. Others will be shipped directly from Europe to the Pacific war theater w ithout passing through the U nited S tatesat all. Som e will have to stay on to police the Reich, and it w ill take from one to tw o years to replace them and give them a chance to com e home. Som e w ill be discharged—but not im m ediately. Probably it w ill be m ore than six m onths before any substantial num ber of men are re m obilized and set hom e. Victory day in Europe o f .course, w ill m ean little change for N avy personnel. The bulk o f the Fleet al ready is fighting in the Pacific. It’s the Army and the Air Force that face a trem endous problem o f transfer. That’s one reason w hy soldiers slated for discharge cannot expect to be sent hom e right away. They’ll have to w ait until the rush of needed troops to the Pacific has end ed—probably m ore than six months. Then they be discharged in accord ance with a system o f point ratings made up of such factors as length of service, age, number o f children, number o f decorations^ and so forth.

SETTLEM ENT AND STRUGGLES IN CANAAN. LESSON TEXT—Judges 2:6, I, 11. 12, IS, 19; 6:11-1«. G O tD EN T E X T -B e strong and Ot a good courage; be not afrlad. neither be thou dism ayed; lor th e Lord thy God Is w ith thee w hithersoever thou goeat.— Joshua 1:9. God keeps his • prom ises. Israel found that to be true as H e brought them into the prom ised land of Canaan. Those who rebelled against Him had died in the wilderness, but now a new generation had com e into possession of the land. Here they m et the challenge of the heathen, and w ere victorious over them as they trusted the Lord. Joshua, their leader, after faithful services w as ready to go to be with the Lord, but before doing so, re minded them of God’s prom ise and of the danger of unbelief and sin. As our lesson opens, w e find the people settled in the land, as far as they had taken it. We find: I. God’s Prom ise FuIfiUed (2:6) The Lord had prom ised the land to them as they went in and pos sessed it by faith in Him . H e fully kept that promise in the m eas ure that they believed H im . They never did take the whole land, but that w as because of their failure, not God’s. The story speaks to us. God has provided a rich inheritance for the believer in Christ, but it m ust be appropriated by faith. How m uch have we taken out of the riches we have in Christ? We are also rem inded of the ab solute faithfulness of God. There is little in this world in which w e m ay repose com plete confidence, but we m ay and should trust God. H e has never failed anyone, and H e w ill not fail us. n . Man’s Prom ise Broken (2:7, 11, 12). The people had solem nly prom ised to keep God’s commandments (see last week’s lesson). That prom ise they had renewed in response to Joshua’s farew ell challenge (see Josh. 24:20, 21). They kept their word only as long as those who rem em bered Joshua w ere alive, and then they “forsook the Lord.” This fall of Israel has its counter part in what is taking place in our land today. The great m ass of de cent people in Am erica were reared in Christian hom es. They know what, is right, and they live on the spir itual and m oral mom entum re ceived from their godly parents. The next generation now com ing into power, without the bene fit of spiritual training in the home and church, are forsaking the Lord and following other gods, the gods of pleasure, of money, of lust. III. God’s Plan of D eliverance (2:18, 19). One would have thought that God would give up a people so set on sinning, but H e did not. H e pro* vided deliverance for Israel. That gives us courage, for w e know that H e has not given us up, but has provided in Christ a sure deliver ance—if Am erica w ill but turn to Him . For Israel’s deliverance God pro vided judges, who w ere not only judicial, but, in fact, prim arily ad m inistrative in their work. They were God’s m en to call Israel back to Him . The repeated failure and backsliding of Israel brought new acts of m ercy on God’s part in calling out new judges. It is interesting to note that God works through m en. Som e of these judges w ere great m en. Others were just ordinary men. But each in his appointed place, at the ap pointed tim e, w as God’s man. God is looking for m en today who w ill serve Him. He wants bril liant, capable m en, but He also calls the ordinary, everyday vari ety, and as they are faithful, H e blesses them . Has He called you? H ave you responded? IV. God’s Presence and Power (6:11-16). Israel had long been under the op pression of the M idianites, who would sweep over the land and steal their crops and their flocks. Israel finally turned to God for help, and H e m et their need by calling Gideon as the fifth of the judges. God knows better than to call an idle m an, one who is sitting around waiting for opportunity to knock. He seeks out the busy person and gives him m ore to do. N ote the entirely adequate pro vision m ade for Gideon’s success. “Surely I w ill be with thee.” That m eans both the presence and .the power of the eternal and omnipo tent One. Gideon^ at once began the tear ing down of the heathen places of worship in his own community. It w as the hardest place to start. It alw ays is. But the one whose light is to shine afar m ust see that it shines brightest at home. The hum ility of Gideon as he looked at him self (v. 15) is com mendable; But note that he did not peirnit it to shut the- door of faith, as he believed God and did m ighty exploits for Him . Don’t trust yourself, but do trust GodI SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS Bolero Top Favorite This Year A Complete W ardrobeJor Baby 1304 12-20/ Bolero Fashion’s P et 'X 'H E youthful bolero outfit is a ^ fashion pet this season.

Because In the years since 1915 he has seen his Southland lay the foundations for a rich, full, abundant economy. ' He has seen agriculture, industry, mining and commerce team u p with Ins own Southern Railway System to get things done. And when war came, he was part of the Southern team that broke all records in moving men and materials swiftly and aorely on their way to the fighting fronts. Jim’s proud of his thirty years.

H ere is how the arm y w ill deter- 'mine what m en are to be discharged ,after the war in Europe is over. Spe cial form s have been quietly sent to commanding officers in all theatres. They are to be distributed to the G.I.s who w ill fill them Out, try to wfigure out the number of credits they have earned to give them a quick return home. The one thing still undecided by the arm y is the number of credits necessary for im m ediate release. This columnist is able to reveal, however, that: 1. All credits w ill. be deter mined as of the date the war in Europe is over. 2. Special credits w ill be given for overseas service, and over seas service w ill m ean any service outside the continental lim its of the V . S., including Alaska. Thousands of m en who served in Alaska w ill receive overseas credit. Overseas serv ice w ill be determined from the day a m an leaves a port of embarkation, 3. Combat credit w ill be given only for those receiving the m ed al of honor, distinguished serv ice cross, legion of m erit, silver star, distinguished flying cross, soldiers’ m edal, bronze star, air m edal, purple heart or bronze service stars for battle partici pation. No other awards or rib bons will he included. 4. Credit w ill be given for children who are under 18 years of age on the d a; the war in Europe ends, but for som e m ys terious reason the arm y w ill not allow credits for m ore than three children, » » • HENRY KAISER CONCILIATES Few people realize it, and ship builder Henry Kaiser is too modest to adm it it, but he w as the guid ing genius behind the recently signed pledge for postwar industrial peace just promulgated by Eric Johnston, president of the U. S. chamber of com m erce, CIO Pres. Phil Murray and AFL Pres. Bill Green. K aiser figured out the schem e last fall after seeing the terrific bitter- 'n ess of the election campaign. He first approached Bill Green, told him that if Green was sincere about be lieving in a 60,000,000-job program, m anagem ent needed-assurances of labor peace. Green w as agreeable. Johnston agreed to call the first m eeting, invited Kaiser, Murray and Green to a hush-hush dinner in his Mayflower hotel suite, debated the entire proposal up, down and sideways. Not content with a-bare state m ent of unity and pledge of Ia- bor-management peace, Kaiser has now quietly proposed that the U . S. chamber of com m erce, the AFL and the CIO set hp a new, w ell - financed organiza tion which can actively go about the business of contact ing local labor leaders and lo cal business m en, preaching the gospel of cooperation on that level.* • • F ETRILLO c r a c k d o w n Congress is so steam ed up about the rambunctious practices of hom - tooter Jam es Caesar Petrillo, head of the American Federation of Musi cians, and bushy-browed John L. Lewis, mine workers’ chief, that re sponsible labor leaders are greatly worried that it m ay pass the Bailey bill. This would invalidate the agreem ent Petrillo won- after de fying the record manufacturers and the government for two years, and which provides that the manufacturers pay his union a royalty on every record m ade. It would also rule out the 10- cent-per-ton coal royalty Lewis asked after he saw Petrillo-get his. Even though m any of them have little sym pathy for the PetrillolLewis methods, labor leaders see in the Bailey bill far m ore danger than appears on the surface. For if the bill becom es law, it w ill knock out not only Petrillo royalty setups, but alsq numerous negotiated agree m ents whereby employers agree to pay a sm all portion of their payroll into health funds jointly adminis tered by the union and the employer. These are used to iiay sickness and accident benefits, m edical costs and death benefits for em ployes, and m ore and m ore employers are agreeing to include contributions to these funds in their contracts with the unions. There have been no com plaints about these funds, but they w ill be iUegal if the Bailey biU be com es law.* * • CAPITOL CHAFF C, The RFC has nam ed the New York firm of Fuller, Smith and Ross to handle advertising of surplus property to be sold through RFC.

'- t l o o k i n g a t HOLLYWOOD A RTHDR LANDAD (a little guy with big ideas, who once m an aged M arie D ressier and Jean Har low) punctures one of our pet no tions. H e says the outworn idea that m ovies suffer from a dearth of story m aterial suited to the screen is ridiculous and preposter ous. That’s going to bring a hail of sharp cracks about Arthur’s ears, because he’s stepping on tender toes. “I know I’m sticking m y neck out,” he insists, “but there it is. I’ve proved m y contention by too m any personal experiences not to know what I’m talking about.” The pulling and hauling that goes on behind scenes when there’s a hot property going around is something that the outsider wouldn’t believe. Let’s let Arthur take us behind the scenes for a bit of case Mstory. He is, incidentally, chief production as sociate for Ben Bogeaus, and had a finger in three Bogeaus ventures— “Dark W aters,” “Captain “Kidd,” and “There Goes Lona Henry.” Few , even insiders, know that it w as Landau who channeled "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo,” one of the great stories of this war, to Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer. Has the Know-How . H e w as put in contact with Cap tain (now Major) Ted Lawson by a well-known Hollywood insider who, being a form er flier him self, has lots of buddies among airmen. Landau perceived im m ediately that Lawson had something in the story of the Shangri-la fliers and their bombing of Tokyo. Paramount had first crack at it. Y . Frank Freem an w as busy and told Arthur to send the idea through Bill Dozier, story editor. Arthur said “Nothing doing!” and w ent to see Eddie Mannix at M etro. That’s how Paramount lost out. Lawson offered Landau a con tract. “You’re an arm y officer,” said Arthur. “If your word isn’t any good, your signature isn’t, either.” Lawson said, “How much can you get m e?” Landau said he didn’t know—m aybe $5, m aybe $10,000, m aybe nothing. High Finance Metro held the script overnight, sent for Landau, and offered him $100,QOO for it. Arthur said the au thor w as holding out for $150,000. They compromised for $125,000. Landau w as chinning with Eddie Cantor in Eddie’s library one eve ning and happened to thumb through a volum e of stories by Os car Wilde. One he liked. H e bought a copy of the volum e and had a transcript m ade of the story. Harry Rapf m et him at Metro and said he w as looking for a yarn. Landau strung him along with an enthusias tic buildup and m eanwhile ascer tained that the Am erican rights were in the public domain. Rapf snapped up the property. Hunches Pay Off The story w as “The Canterville Ghost,” which w as m ade into a pic ture for Charles Laughton. Metro gladly settled with the British heirs to the Wilde estate. Landau plucked 30 grand out of thin air and a h u n c h . Here’s a free tip right out of the Landau feed box: H e caught a newspaper story re cently about W. H. Donald, the m ys terious Australian who has been CMang Kai-shek’s personal adviser for m any years. Donald w as held captive in M anila by the Japs, who were looking everywhere for him at the tim e, not knowing they- had him right under their thumbs. “There’s another Lawrence of Arabia story in Captain Donald for anyone who can get him to talk,” says Landau. “That’s where you find the germ s of good stories—right on the front pages of your newspa pers.” Surface Barely Scratched ‘I’ll venture,”, says Arthur, “that there are m ore good stories in the public dom ain than Hollywood has ever m ade. Not every Tom, Dick, or Harry can take these m aster pieces and translate them to the screen successfully. Take Conrad, for exam ple. Every effort to trans fer his sea stories tq the screen has flopped. So w e accept the lazy m an’s explanation: (and agree-that C om adinakes fine reading but can’t be screened. . Posh! H e’ll be screened one day by som eone who’ll know how. ‘Right here in our own company we bought ‘There. Goes Lona-Henry’ from RKO, which owned it for years. No one wanted to play in it. We had a new script written; and I give you m y word som e of the m ost sought after fem inine stars in town have expressed an eagerness to do it.”• * • • KayetS Kind of Fantasy Sam Goldwyn has bought Jam es Thnrber’s “Secret Life of W alter M itty” for Danny K aye.

Fnry Mt tbe Orst bar, while Melody wandered down the street, bis eyes on tbe Qrst wMte woman be bad seen for ages. Two men were stand- tag In front of the general store, one whistled at Ihe girl.

CHAPTER H In the brief seconds w hile he had the fellow out of action, he w as able to snatch a glance at the shorter m an. This other one had jumped aw ay from the w all, to be out of the line of fire. H e w as talking now, quick and low , through a tight throat, w ith lips that hardly m oved. “Don’t, Ira—easy, Ira—look out, Ira—” But while he talked to Ira he w as looking at M elody Jones; and the astounded fixity of his eyes w as nothing like anybody had favored Jones w ith before. M elody’s eyes snapped back to the m an he w as holding on to for the love of life, and they looked into each other’s faces at a distance of five inches and a half. At this range Melody noticed for the first tim e that the m an w as crosseyed. “I didn’t say nothing, or do noth ing,” Ira said now, without any ex pression. Suddenly M elody Jones realized he had hold of a m an who w as in fear of his life. M elody eased back, relaxing slow ly. Before he let go altogether he let his-right hand fall on the butt of his own forty-five, in the forward pocket of his chaps, as if just to rest his hand. A fast m an could still have got him handily, but prob ably wouldn’t try. Looking steadily at each other the tw o edged apart with casual, furtive shufflings, circling a little, Ira toward the gallery steps. As the inches betw een th em increased, the m an called Ira no longer appeared cross-eyed; he looked com petent again. “I’ll stand a drink,” he said. Slow thinking saved M elody, then. In a m om ent he would have said, “Whut? Whut did you say?” But as the seconds ticked away, and still nothing in Melody’s head found its w ay into words, tim e and tension w ere too m uch for the other m an. “No offense,” he said, with the dust heavy in his throat. “Any tim e. Any tim e at all . . .” M elody surprised him self again. “Keep Oie slack otat o’ your rope, from here in,” he said, his voice flat. “And don’t w histle no tunes a t other m en’s girls.” Anger jum ped into the stranger's eyes, like a flash of gunpowder, scar ing the living daylights out of Mel ody again. For one short m om ent he thought Oiat the incredible m ira cle which had saved his life w as about to run out. Over the door he saw the crude board sign that had been there long before slow prosperity built the wooden awning above it: Payneville Gen’l Store P eter Abajian “So that’s w here I am . . .” He Walked into the cool shadows within. H is shoulders rose stiffly as he pulled down his vest—a cowhide vest with m ore than tw enty catOe brands burned on it, showing where- all he had been. D eep back in the dim interior the little proprietor put up,, his hands. P eter Abajian w as behind a counter, and flanked by hangings of blue jeans, stable forks, dried stock-fish, sheepskin coats, and Navajo saddle blankets. H is round cheeks, alw ays apparently blown full of wind, shone like billiard balls. H is buffalo-horn m ustache quivered, and his eyes w ere like agates. M elody looked at him curiously. He had never seen people act like these people acted. IBs eyes left the storekeeper to run along the canned-goods shelves. H e hadn’t told the m an to put his hands down, but after a m om ent the com er of his eye caught their w ary motion as they descended. M elody jerked his head around, and the hands flew up again. He tried this several tim es m ore, experim entally m aking sure that he w as the one who controlled this thing. H e stole a look at the street, and saw that it w as em pty. " O n e can tom aters,” M elody said. Peter Abajian set it out, and stood w atching M elody unhappily. M elody w as thinking. H e knew he didn’t have any m oney. W hat blistered M elody w as that he had saved his m oney for nearly three years, plan ning one m agnificent bust som e day, and he had built up nearly seventy- six dollars. And then he had lost it —not in a card gam e, not in any particular w ay—just plainly lost it, out of his pocket or som ething, som e place. H e and George Fury had ar gued m any a m ile over who had seen it last, and what happened to it. AU they knew about it w as that it w as gone. Now, after a m onth of bean diet, M elody w as asking him self if canned goods w ere worth getting in trouble C O W B O Y NV.N-U- S tR V IC E for. H e decided that they were. At worst, the cooking at the jail ought to com pare favorably to George Fury’s. “One can peaches,” Mel- ody w ent on, "one can pork beans, one can pears, one can plum pud ding, and another can tom aters.” “Y es, sirl” Peter Abajian m oved with alacrity now, but kept his hands fluttering in view . “AU in a nice gunny seek, m aybe?” “E at ’em here.” Sitting on the counter, eating his cool w et canned goods, M elody Jones tried to fit him self into a world that w as like a dream . A slouching cowboy with a sad dened, sandy m ustache cam e in and paw ed around in a box of harness buckles near the door. H e kept sneaking glances at M elody over his shoulder. Then he reaUzed that Mel ody w as staring at him . H e turned suddenly confused, and pottered out Of there. “W hat the heU goes on here?” M elody said aloud. The storekeeper’s hands started up again, but he stopped them . H e sm Ued a t M elody in a sickly w ay, without m eeting his eye. It w as tim e to face the issue. M elody supposed he ought to glare a t the storekeeper, but he couldn’t m akq it. H e studied the side of his boot as he said, “How much?” The words cam e out in a thin squeak, so that he had to try again; but he m anaged to get a good harsh growl the second tim e. “Nothing!” The Uttle storekeeper said instantly, even eagerly. “It’s a pleasure. Nothing at all.” “Whut?” "It’s free,” Peter Abajian said quickly. “All free to a nice gentle m an like you.” Then Melody saw the girl again. She walked along the gallery of the store from the steps at the end. She passed the door very slowly, looking in as she passed. There w as M elody jerked his head around, and the hands flew up again. som ething both tense and lazy, very proud, in her straight-kneed step, im possible to forget. H e could see that there w ere 'straw-dull finger- curls, loose and carelessly kept, down the sides of her face. But against the eye-knocking white blaze of the street her face w as in shad ow. H e couldn’t see it at aU. After putting M elody out of his mind, George Fury rolled stiffly, hoop-legged, into the First Chance Bar. Inside the door he cam e to a stop with a w aspish dignity, and gave the conventional hitch to his breeches, w hile his eyes accustom ed them selves to the shade. What he saw w as the usual barroom, with a stuffed squirrel at one end of the back , bar and a stuffed owl at the other end; and the bar itself so bat tered and scraped down that it had a sway-backed look. The oak foot- rail w as worn half through. “Where am I?” George asked. , The two cowm en looked at George' Fury; then, with consider able deliberation, they looked at each other, their faces unreadable as sourdough bricks. Presently both looked at the bartender, who washed glasses in a bucket and minded his own business. And finally they turned to George again. "This yere’s Payneville,” ' said the m an addressed, with constraint. George Fury took a deep breath, and . his Adam’s apple jumped. “Painful,” he snapped. “What’s painful?” “This yere is,” the other said. * George looked both m en over with angry care. The guns they wore looked well-oiled, their holsters well- soaped and well-used. He w as ach ing for trouble, m ade irritable by the dust in his throat and the strangeness here. But George Fury had a poor opinion of his gunplay. Rheum atism in his fingers had m ade it as inept as M elody’s own. So he only walked past them now, but slowly, stiff-legged, like a bristling dog. VO-o-oh,” he said half to him self, but in a tone of sarcas tic insult. “Painful, is it?” “Right—Payneville! ” George Fury snorted like a jumped buck, blit he knew he had said enough. H e took up a stand w ell down the bar. “Forty-rod,” he told the bartend er. “From the bar’l with the snake- haid in it.” The bartender set out bottle and glass with the relaxed im personality of practice. “How long,” he spoke to George Fury courteously, “how long you been in Payne?” George choked explosively in the m iddle of his first gulp. H e slapped his glass down on Sie bar with such a ringing crack that the whisky jumped clean clear of the rim , then sloshed back in again. When George lost his tem per Ius dialect changed, slipping back to the far hills of his youth. “Naow, yew look yare!” he spluttered, his voice up an octave. “If yew fellers cain’t answer a civilus question civ- ilus, yew anyways daon’t need to git new! I don’t aim to stand fer it!” The bartender looked at him tired- ly. H e w as used to m en with sun- sore nerves, drunken at that. He shrugged and went back to his glasses. A pale, heavy m an, six feet tall in Comanche m occasins, had com e for ward from a back table. He stood looking at George with sm all eyes without eyebrows, from a distance of about a foot. And now as he stood there George Fury becam e aware that som e new public affliction w as building itself. M en w ere trickling into the First Chance by twos and threes. A dozen had wandered in; the bar w as w ell filled. Ih ese m en were cowmen, passing through or on the loaf, with a sprinkling of plains-bred towns m en who looked about the sam e. And all these newcom ers w ere in terested in George Fury. Low- toned inform ations ran along the bar, to everyone but George. M en looked'him over, studying him with a strange candor he had never seen. Som ebody slapped him hard on the shoulder, and a voice said, “Howdy, R oscoe!” George Fury turned his head slow ly, his eyes alive with death; but the other had m oved on. Another newcom er edged toward George along the bar. “Did you ever find out,” he asked George confidentially, “just where Uie hell you are?” . Once m ore George Fury choked on his drink, and rang the glass upon the bar. He whirled upon the stranger. “I’ll tell yew one thing, m y owl nosed friend!” he lashed out. “I ain’t in pain!” A grumble of laughter, rising to a roar, sw ept the barroom. George Fury looked astounded. H e had real ized h e had a keen wit, of course, very funny, but not this funny. As the laughter held up his anger died. H e stuck his tongue in his cheek, winking largely, and the laughter increased. H e spoke to them once m ore, w hen the laughter finally ebbed. “ What air yew whistle-britched poop-heads laughing at?” Another howl w ent up from this. Purple again, glaring glassily, George w ent stam ping out. At the door he turned im pressively for one parting crack, and w as in stantly called back to the bar to pay for his drinks. Unstrung, he rang a silver dollar on the bar and got out of there, w hile that insane, unaccountable laughter still rang, beating-him about the ears as he fled. He could not believe w hat he saw then. Outside, where his pony should have stood, w as em pty hitch-rail. M en properly hang for laying hands on another m an’s horse. Now at last George Fury’s gun whipped out. The door of the First Chance w as full of people watching) him. George let out the rebel long yell, and fired on them point blank. They ducked back, laughing still, without counteraction or resentm ent. George Fury’s bullets went no place, as far as h e could tell. No window broke, and no wood splintered. He m ight as well have fired straight up. Perhaps he would have gone in after them then. Perhaps he would have killed three or four of them while his lead lasted, and got him self shot down, and later hanged if he lived. But now M elody Jones w as com ing along the walk at his long- legged canter—the only m an in the W est who could spring at an easy stroll. Jones w as hollering at him . George Fury pulled him self together and w aited for reinforcem ents. “Tch, tCh,” said M elody Jones. “Drunk so soon. This here’s dis graceful.” “Them devils stole m y cayuse,” George Fury said. “I aim to d a r the town, and give ’er a fresh start, an’ she needs it!” ' “Nobody stole your m oth-et old hide,” M elody told him . “I taken and stuck him in the livery corral.

I want to see your face when you find him so em pty he’s flat in the road like a sack. In town, you gotta keep stuffin’ a hoss. Or he com es imstuffed,” M elody said.

Our independence and our opportunities are deeply rooted in it. For years, people thought our soil was inexhaustible. New land was plentiful. New farms could be carved out of the wilderness cheaper and easier than old farms could be maintained. So when a farm lost its fertility, the farmer and his family simply moved to a new piece of land. Today, it is a different story. Most of the good land has been cleared and is being farmed. When a farm loses its productive capacity, there may not be any place to move. And the nation’s supply of food and fiber is reduced. That is why soil conservation has become so vitally important. More than one hundred million acres of land have been seriously damaged by wind, water erosion, incorrect farming practices and other causes. Each year millions of acres, more are’ being damaged, some beyond redemption. Soil conservation methods are efficient, effective and easy to practice. Contour farming, terracing, strip-cropping, fertilizing and crop rotation are the principal methods used. Every farmer can get complete information and specific recommendations from his, local Soil Conservation Service Representative, his County Agricultural Agent or his Vocational Agriculture Teacher. The land that each farmer cultivates is a national heritage. It should be passed on to tire next generation better than it came to him. That is a trust which each man assumes when he makes his living from the soiL Firestone believes that soil conservation is fundamental to die welfare of our country and its people. We believe soil conserva. tion is everybody’s business. That is why we are conducting extensive experiments on die 141-year-old Firestone Homestead Farm near Columbiana, Ohio, where our founder, Harvey S. Firestone, was bom. That is why we are sponsoring soil conservation contests through the 4-H Clubs, cooperating with the Future Farmers of America and promoting the exchange of ideas through the Firestone Champion Farmers Association. We have also recently published a new booklet on soil conservation entitled, “Our Native Land, a Trust to Keep,” which you may obtain without cost. Simply send your request to the Firestone Farm Service Bureau, Akron, Ohio. I feel sure that you will find this booklet interesting and instructive.
