Isenhour. Hiddenite.N. G The heart and soul ft peace with God Has pleasure sweet along life’s way. Although sometimes affliction’s rod May seem quite heavy for the day; Yet deep within there is a bliss That far exceeds our every care, With blessedness we wouldn’t miss For all >he world’s vain show and tare. At peace with God—that means a rest That earth can never, never give; It means a conscience for a guest. With which to work and sleep and live. That's good and clean and bright and clear Far more to be desired than wealth; For only this can bring us cheer And give our soul and bod; health. A tpeacewith G od-O wondrous goal For one to reach while here on earth, Though tests and trials rage and roll And seek to rob us of'our mirth; Still there’s a peace down in the depth Of heart and soul like some great sea; Though surges o’er its bosom swept Its depths were from disturbance free! At peace with God—that’s better far . Than have entwiued about our brow Some earthly laurel, or a star Placed in our crown, and see men bow To pay us homage and esteem, While God may frown and con­ science warn, And oeace of soul a stranger seem. With no heart graces to adorn. fPleoty* Pork in Wilkes Early one of the frosty morn­ ings recently one- of our county- men arose to make pork and put an end to scarcity of meat and lard. He arose before day Atter a few preliminaries, he went to the siv with his ride. He shot one and hurried over into the pen to stab it. A small son of his was standing by. A moment later, the boy remark­ ed "Daddy, I thought you were go. ing to kill just one of them.” In the dark be bad shot one and accordingly jumped over and by mistake stabbed the other. He went out among neighbors as a precaution to the several hot day; that followed and wisely advanced pork to them until they kill.—The Hostler, ' Something New William A StanfiiQ, chairman .of the Kentudcy Republican cen­ tral committee, was named United States Senator from Kentucky to succeed A.

Lineback quit his $45-a-week me­ chanic’s job and enlisted as a pri­ vate in the army— because he needed more money. His army base pay will be $50 per month. But don’t forget those allowadces for dependents. Be­ cause that’s where 44-year-old Pri­ vate Lineback hits the jackpot— he has 10 of them. There’s wife Edith and four sons and five daughters, ranging from 19-month-old Ralph to 15.year-old William. Add family allowances to base pay, plus $10 per m onth dne Lineback in longevity pay for 12 years’ service after W orld W ar I, and it totals $278 per month. “Edith is very sorry that I ever left the army,” Lineback says. "And she is happy now that I have the opportunity to go back into service. She knows it’s what I want.” They married in 1929 while he was in 1$29 while he was in the 34tk Oidnace Company at Fort Bragg. Too young for the First W odd W ar, Lineback was too old for the second, his draft board turned him down because of his age. However, since any physicaUy fit m an WithvUt least five years pre­ vious army service can re-enlist, Lineback decided to don khaki a- gain. 4Tve had it plenty tough in the army,” he says, “but I know I’m tough enough to last eight more years. Then, I’ll retire.” Courtesy and Service Wartime shortages and the rush for any merchandise of value, with the resultant demand for many things not easily obtained has caused a great breakdown in ser vice and an alarming lack of court­ esy in everyday matters. Courtesy is one of the things which makes life more pleasant, and the e certainly should be more instead of less practiced. But we da not mean to infer that courtesy should be a one way pro. position. It is just as much the motal obligation of . customer to be courteous as it is for the sales clerk. It is the duty of a sales clerk to be courteous to prospective custo mers, and it is no less the duty of customers to be counteous to the sales person If a sales person di- ligenrly tries to serve the customer should be just as generous with the “ thank vou’s” as the sales clerk or store manager, because they serve each other Although many shortages still the public and the places which serve the public, the war is over and coaipetion again will show up in all lines'of endeavor Arrogance and indepence, plus a lack of court, esy, have become the rule, rather rather than the exception —Wilkes Journal. ■ North Carolina {. ___ Davie County.

Gosed For Lack of Sugar To The Charlotte Observer: We are enclosing for your intor (nation a copy of the letter we are sending to about 300 customers to­ day cancelling their orders for the Thanksgiving and holiday trade. This follows the closing of our plant at the most critical period of the year because of failure to se­ cure from OPA an advancement of 10,000 pounds of sugar against onr first quarterly alto’ment of 1946, The allotment for the farst quarter of 19^6 is due to reach us on or a. bout December 15, but this will be too late to save tbe situation We do not consider our request unreasonable or unfair to othei in dustrial users of sugar It happens that in 0 ir community there is an excess quantity of sugar which can­ not be purchased by industrial users or civilians because thev have no sugar certificates. It is possible that the same situation obtains in other localities, bnt if this is dot tbe case, it is proof of tbe tact that there is unequal distribution of th<- prssent sugar supplv. We listened with interest to thi message broadcast by the President of the United States on O-'tober 30 , in which he pleaded for a full ero olovment bill and for the full oper ation of all industrial plants. He particularly said that be wanted to help small businesses during this critical period of reconversion. We. made bold to send him a te tegram. followed by a letter, tell- Iing him the small business owned and operated by ourselves was be­ ing closed because of inability to secure a verv limited amount of sugar. We further stated that we did not believe it was the intention of our government to permit bu. reans to put business out of opera­ tion. We mentioned the fact that 43 employes were affected by this shutdown at the beginning of the winter season when they particular­ ly need their wages. Of course, ueither the telegram nor the letter has been acknowledged. We are quite sure that if the appeal had come from a plant employing 450 or 4,500 union;zed workers instead Oj 45 uod.unionized workers and had it been located in an "uncer tain’’ state instead of tbe “Solid South,” our appeal would not have been ignored. It seems to us tbe time has come when we shouid demand that rat. ioning oe removed from sugar. We bave been told by merchants tbat there seems to be an abnndance of sugar, and tbat a vigorous protest from the people would, perhaps, bring an end to sugar rationing Certainly the removal of sugar from rationing would put an immediate end to tbe black market We bave faith in our fellowmen and believe that in the majority of cases they could be depended upon to exercise voluntary rationing. Tnis has been demonstrated in the case of canned goods, shoes and other items taken off tbe ration list. Tbe individual purchaser and the retail grocer bave both tried to see that there was equitable distribution of scarce coc.modities W ebelievetbesame thing wovld happen with sugar a d that co operation of sngar refiner ies and merchants would work to that end, witbrut coercion from OPA. At least, it is worth a trial. If abuses should develop, there is nothing to prevent a return to rat­ ioning. Several things contribute to tbe present scarcity of sugar. One is that during July, 1945 , this coun. try sent 160.000 tons of sugar to Spain, at a time when food pack ing plants and housewives of the country were being denied Deces- sary sugar for tbe preservation of our own fruit and berry crop. One other reason given by Ody H. Lamhorn, president of Lamborn & Co.. Inc., I efore the House of Representatives spscial committee appointed to Investigate food short ages, was tbat we bad no 1’overall” plan on sngar setting up one an* thoritv to co-ordinate the multiplic irv of government agencies band ling the suear problem, among them the following: FDA. OPA, CCC, WPB1 AMA1 WSA1 BEW, OLLA1 State Department, Depart­ ment of Interior, FEA, UNRRA. Armv Navy and Lend-Lease. This leads to confusion, delay and buck- passing. as he expresses it. Some of these agencies may have a larger allotment than needed, while others bave an insufficient supply. Since we hear more about OPA than any other agencv hand ling sugar, it is possible that Is where the bottleneck is. Here a gain is a reason for removing sugar from the list of rationed items There are doubtless many small business plants suffering from arbi­ trary OPA rulings such as those that bave ciosed our business. While we bave no objection to your citing our case as a concrete exam pie of the situation, this letter is not written with that in mind; Its definite purpose is to see if some­ thing cannot he done to curb the flow of necessary raw materials in to illegitimate channels, while Ie gitimate business is put out of op­ eration.

Bursting Out Uncle Sam is definitely but sting oat of of bis clothes, as one mav observe in Lexington or on the streets of almost any other town or city in the nation.

Mayor LaGuardia has suggested a plan to employ thous­ ands of basements for temporary residence, bnt said this could hard­ ly be done before January But just how late this might be sug­ gested by the following excerpt from a news story from tbe big ctty a few davs ago: More than 20,000 bitter veterans are, walking the streets of New York or sitting 50 deep at agencies and housing centers, waiting for a- partments At night they bunk with their wives and children in family par lors, on cots in friends homes, or it they are single on blankets on tbe kitchen floor of any stranger who will offer a roof. At daybreak they start apart­ ment hunting One of tbe most helpful so.irces is the officers ser­ vice committee This volunteer organization has a waiting list of 5,000 and has set up offices in a rent-free room off the lobby of tbe Commodore hotel. Here servicemen’s veteran’s come on crutches, some with pa’e, preg­ nant wives. Some vete.ans, blind, or led in by relatives. AU are seek­ ing appartments. Approximately 200 applications go through this office every day. On an average day, two are lucky enough to find comes.

It’s Nice Work More people were on the Fed­ eral civilian payroll in September than in May, when the war in Europe ended, Sen. Harry Byrd, diairm an of the joint congress­ ional economy committee, has iust reported. The increase was 22,215 but some of them were just on the payroQ. They were working the govern­ m ent instead of working for it. - One of the 3,491,000 on the roll furnishes a case of that kind. He is described as a top executive in die Denver regional Office of Sur­ plus Property who was quite frank about his job. H e was, he said, being paid $6,- 520 a year for doing nothing. He had been assigned to an office, but that was aQ. H e didn’t have a secretary nor a telephone. W orse, he received no office memos. As an execu­ tive, he was in a bad situation ex­ cept for that $6,320—which your income and other taxes help pay. His confession raised such an odor that die manager of the Den­ ver office of Reconssruction Fi­ nance asked for a written report on die matter. N ow thepoor feQow will have to have a secretary, salaried by the government, to type it for him. A nd he will get a memo or two about it. HewiQprobablybe re­ quired to go through the modons of working. H e is one of the 22,213 increas­ es since the war ended, but he was in the right department—sur­ plus property.

Wrap them in gay Christinas trap­ pings and you’ll have a gift that __________ any one will be proud to receive. A few days spent in the kitchen with a well-organized schedule will yield enough cookies, cakes and jel­ lies to take care of any number of friends. They’ll appreciate the thought and care you have taken in preparing something especially for them. Many homemakers canned fruit juices last summer which they want to make into jelly now that they’ve saved enough sugar. A few jars of these colorful jellies will make ex­ cellent presents. Grape Jelly. (Makes U 6-ounce glasses) 4 cups grape juice 3% caps sugar VA caps light corn syrup Vi cap liquid pectin Measure out the juice and place it In a large kettle with the sugar and syrup. Mix thoroughly. Bring to the boiling point and boil 3% minutes. Add liquid pectin, stirring constant­ ly. Then bring again to a full roll­ ing boil and boil hard % minute.

Place juice and ground rind of lemon, and or­ange together with sliced apples in a large kettle. Add sugar, water and syrup. Stir well, place over heat and bring to a boil. Simmer for SO minutes, stirring frequently. Skim, pour into sterilized jars and seal im­ mediately. A tangy, well-flavored jelly is al­ ways handy to have with a roast or casserole.

Bring to a full rolling boil. Add pec­tin, stir vigorous­ ly and boil about 2 minutes. Pour into hot, sterile glasses. Cover with paraffin to seal. Conserves and fruit butter will give nice variety to the home-packed gift. In both of the following recipes, slow cooking is recommended to allow the mix­ tures to reach a thickened con­ sistency: Baked Apple Butter. - (Makes 12 6-ounce glasses) 4 quarts quartered apples 3 cups water LTM N C H A M B E R S’ M E N U S Scalloped Spaghetti with Chicken Peach Nut Salad Brussels Sprouts Orange Bread Beverage Applesauce Cake LYNN SATS Make Tour Own: When you are giving away homemade presents, go all-out on decorations. For fruit jars, make a wrapping of white cardboard and paste cheery Cinristmas stickers on them. Select three or four jars of pret­ ty colored jellies. Wrap them in paper and tie the tops all togeth­ er with one long ribbon. Deco­ rate with pine cones. Fill a well-scrubbed fruit bas­ ket with luscious fruits, grapes and nuts. Deck it out with holly and a. great big bow. Use plain cardboard boxes for cookies and candies, and paste on colorful holiday paper. Finish off with ribbons, holly and pine cones. Plump popcorn balls can be tied in gay wrappings. Leave a loop in the ribbon so they can be hung on the tree, if desired. I cup cider S cups sugar Vt teaspoon cinnamon Vt teaspoon allspice H teaspoon cloves Cook apples in water until soft. Force them through a colander. Add remaining ingredients.

If you have used your quota of sugar on other Christmas baking, you will want recipes for s u g a r - e a s y sweets, like popcorn balls or peanut brittle that take only a little bit. Special care should be used in wrapping these gifts for the children as they may want tb hang them on the tree. Use plenty of ribbon and let them be gay with stickers. Molasses Popcorn Balls.

New V eterans' Hospitals Enlargement of the facilities ot the Veterans’ administration for more adequate care of returning disabled war veterans is getting un­der way with the announcement re­ cently that locations had been ap­ proved for 19 new veterans’ adminis­ tration hospitals and additions to 13 existing hospitals to provide a total of 15,276 new beds for Veterans’ ad­ ministration patients. These beds are a part of the 29,100 bed program approved by President Truman on August 4, and funds for the construction program are to be requested for the current (1946) fis­ cal year. The new hospitals are to be located at or near: New Haven, Conn., Albany, N. Y., Buffalo, N. Y., Newark, N. J., Balti­ more, Md., Washington, D. C., Gainesville, Fla., Clarksburg, W. Va., Louisville, Ky., Decatur, Hl., Duluth, Minn., Southern Minnesota, Iowa City, Iowa, Omaha, Neb., New Orleans, La., El Paso, Texas, Okla­ homa City, Okla., Phoenix, Ariz., and Cincinnati, Ohio. In the meantime, Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Veterans’ administrator, has announced appointment of Dr. Paul B. Magnuson, associate pro­ fessor Of surgery at Northwestern university, to be head of the re­ search and post-graduate training program in Qie veterans’ hospitals throughout the country. Dr. Mag­ nuson is considered one of the coun­ try’s outstanding surgeons and or­ thopedic specialists. Questions and Answers Q. I was inducted in the army and served seven months when I was discharged on account ot age. Four of us asked officers if they wished we would get out and they answered, yes. So we went to an employment office in Tacoma and received a slip say­ ing we were more vital to the war industry than in the army and on those grounds they gave us a discharge. Now they tell us we are not entitled to mus- tering-out pay. At that time we knew nothing about mnstering- out pay. Also am I entitled to a serviceman’s loan.—C. H.t Hammond ave., Superior, Wis. A. Probably you are not entitled to mustering-out pay. It may be that you were discharged before mustering-out pay was adopted, and if not; you were discharged for your own convenience to take a job in war industry, and without overseas service, are not entitled to mus­ tering-out pay. You are entitled to benefits of Oie G.I. bill, however. Q. My husband'joined the ma­ rine corps in June, 1942. He spent 18 months overseas, re­ ceived 3 bronze stars and the presidential unit citation, but because Ids record book was late in arriving at the isiand3 , he has not been credited with the bronze stars. How can this error be corrected? He has just been sent back to the Pacific with 57 points. I have been told all marines with 40 points would not be sent over again. He should be credited with 72 or 77 points. How can this be cor­ rected?—Mrs. L. L., Carpenter St., NorthviiIe1 Mich. A. Any superior officer who knows your husband’s record could cor­ rect his record insofar as the bronze stars are concerned, the marine corps says. It is true that it is the policy of the marine corps not to re­ ship men with 40 points overseas. It is also true that your husband has more than enough points to make him eligible for discharge. The ma­ rine corps, however, says there are many reasons why he may have been shipped back for duty, one be­ ing, he may have requested over­ seas service. Suggest you write di­ rect to the marine corps headquar­ ters, Washington, D. C., and ask for details concerning your husband’s record. Q. Can a serviceman stop Iiis allotment to his wife and child? A. If you mean his family allow­ ance, which is made up of equal con­ tributions from the soldier’s pay and the army, no, he cannot stop that. He can stop his allotment, which is a voluntary contribution of the sol­ dier to his dependents over and above his family allowance. Q. When they start discharg­ ing servicemen with two years of service will they include only those already serving two years or will it be effective for all when their two years are up?— Wife, Chelsea, Kan. A. Under the. present ruling, men in the army must be 35, 36 or 37 with two years service before they are eligible unless they have the necessary number of points. The war department says a new ruling may be in effect by midwinter to release all men with two years serv­ ice, regardless of age.

A Victory Bond Is The Finest Gift Of All CS- YARDSTICK for measuring a transportation service W hat does the Southern Railway System mean to you? To your community? To the Southland? Is there any way to measure the value of its service? Perhaps these questions will help provide a “yardstick”. .. Does the Southern handle all kinds of freight... and passengers, mail and express, too? • Does it provide safe, dependable transportation, all year ’round, in any kind of weather? • Does it buy large quantities of supplies and materials in the South? • Does it give steady employment to large numbers of Southern men and women? •?P- c a : 'O v- • Doesit pay taxes which help to support your schools, police and fire departments, and other local govern­ mental services? " • Doesitconstantlyand Vigorouslypromotethegrowfh of the territory it serves? Yes, the Southern Railway does a ll of these things! Thus, with this “ yardstick” .you may measure how well the Southern “Serves the South”. .. and how much this railway means to you, to your community, and to the future growth and prosperity of the greater, better Southland.

The tire industry is pulling all sorts of wires back­ stage to lift export restrictions. At present they are permitted to export 400,000 truck tires and 100,000 passenger tires during the last quar­ ter of this year. They would like to export a lot more. In the first place, they don’t have to worry about OPA ceiling prices when selling abroad. Secondly, they can build up their postwar markets by getting in on the ground floor. So they would rather sell more tires abroad. But if they do, they sell less tires at home. And today a tire certificate issued to a person desiring to buy a tire is nothing more than a hunting license. He can go out and hunt for a tire. If he’s Iuckjt enough to find one, his certifi­ cate entitles him to buy it. DEPARTMENT OF PEACE When the house foreign affairs committee heard testimony on the Kandolph bill to create a department of peace, the star witness was a 64- year-old former mule-driver from Morgantown, W. Va. Chairman Sol Bloom and mem­ bers of his committee listened with rapt attention as Raymond M. Davis read a 16-page statement on why the United States should take the lead in establishing a new cabinet post to spread the gospel of peace throughout the world. After he finished, white-thatched GOP Rep. Charles Eaton of New Jer­ sey declared: “Mr. Davis, you may be un­ schooled, as you tell the com­ mittee, but you certainly are not uneducated. That is one of the finest documents I have ever listened to.” World Peace is not just a hobby with the West Virginia coal man, though he describes it as such. It is a burning ideal. A self-made busi­ ness man who now operates two coal mines employing more than 500 workers, Davis had made many speeches at his own expense throughout the country urging a gov­ ernment department of peace. He also has written a proposed constitu­ tion for the United Nations that has attracted wide attention. The state department thought well enough of his ideas to invite him to the San Francisco conference as an observer. Rep. Jennings Randolph of West Virginia, freely admits that Davis was the chief spark plug behind his peace resolution. “When I was looking at the rear end of a mule all day in West Vir­ ginia coal mines,” says Davis, “I never thought that one day I’d be instrumental in having such an im­ portant piece of legislation intro­ duced in congress.” Note—The second initial ol Da­ vis’ name stands for “Moses.” Perhaps what we need are more plain, garden-variety Moses’ ot the Davis type, instead of striped-pants diplomats, to lead us out of the international wil­derness.• * * BOWLES HOLDS INFLATION FLOOD OPAdministrator Chester Bowles is one of the most abused men in Washington. Everyone is badgering him. Congressmen demand that their constituents increase the price of this or that. Farm groups want to raise the price of milk or cattle. Business groups want to abolish all ceiling prices. Probably the common man doesn’t appreciate it, but here are some things which will happen if Chester Bowles loses his battle to stop the inflation flood: 1. Every person putting his money in life insurance does so with the idea of getting his money back—100 cents on the dollar. But if there is inflation, the insurance dollar will be worth 75 cents, 50 cents, or even 30 cents. 2. Every person on a retired pen. sion, whether a railroad employee, a college, a school or a big corpora­ tion employee, will see his income shrink if there is inflation. 3. Every widow living on money left by her husband will see that in­ come shrivel. 4. Every school teacher will have great difficulty having her salary move up when the value of the dol­ lar moves down. 5. Every civil servant, whether working for city, state or federal government, will be in the same boat as the teachers. 6. Every college endowment, every charity or other, enterprise with fixed invested capital stands ready to have its investment evaporate with inflation.* * * CAPITAL CHAFF fi.

Quail hunting with a good dog may not be the king of sports, but a good many millions think so and their day isn’t far ahead. And the dog is really the king of this autumn and winter thrill.This occurred to us when we ran into Andy Sage, the Long Island sports­ man, who owns and d e v e lo p s m ore champion field trial GrantUuidRice dogs than anyone we can recall off hand. His dogs have won the national championship six times, four of them in a row against the former record of two in a row. They have also won the big fu­ turity seven times in a row and they will be just as hard to beat in the coming tests on ahead. “My best dog,” Mr. Sage said, “is Ariel, winner of six championships. Ariel is now seven years old but can still range with the best. There are three fundamental qualities that make a great bird dog—scent, speed and stamina. In field trial tests there is also the matter of ranging class or form to be considered. In my opinion it is harder to breed and develop a champion dog than it is a champion horse. There are many good bird dogs, of course, but few great ones that can win champion­ ships against the best. Ariel is my pick but Luminary isn’t far behind.” Field Trial Thrills Clyde Morton trains the Sage en­ tries in a secluded hamlet known as Alberta, Ala., which isn’t far awpy from Selma. These champion­ ship field trials range all the way from Saskatchewan and Duluth to East Tennessee and while there are no mutuel windows, no football or baseball cheering, they have just as great a thrill for those who love the hunting dog and who travel far dis­ tances to see the best at work. The judges in these championship tests give their time, attention and devo­ tion to their work without any^pay and they contribute a big part to any field trial’s success. The thousands of ex-servicemen and millions of others now in the woods and fields enjoy 2 double thrill. The first is the work of the dogs, WitbOUt a n y q u e stio n th e m o s t e a g e r form ot life in pursuit of the quarry. The next thrill comes at the covey’s rise when the tense silence is suddenly broken by the whirr of many wings—an easy looldng target but an elusive one except for the ex- : perts. The first average tendency Hs ; to shoot too quickly and also to blaze ; away at the covey in place of select- | ing a single or double target. I One of your correspondent’s great­ e st shocks is to fire and see no j feathers fall where so many feathers I seemed to be at a close and unmiss­able range. j When you take up the major thrills . of sport, the football player can offer I a long run through a broken field ; or a long completed pass. The golfer ,has his long iron dead to the pin. , The baseball player can counter with the home run or the triple. The horse player will take his chance on hitting a 50 to I shot on the nose— , or winning a husky daily double. The Elusive Turkey I You can hear the clamor of the. 110 million fishermen, moving from I lrout to bass to salmon to tarpon. I But the nearest thrill to the dogs working and the covey rise is to see a wild turkey light in a tall pine |close to your hide-out—and then try . to spot him later only 20 yards away, j as all 20 pounds of him suddenly j vanish and yet you know he is there. I Here is the greatest of all camou­ flage artists. The incomparable will o ’ the wisp. Yes, even with -a few occasional diamondbacks thrown in, I'll take turkey hunting and give you the memory of a 40-foot putt with the match all squared on the 18th green. No wonder Andy Sage would rather have Ariel than another Man o’ War. Or would he? Field trials now cover a big part of the country. For example, Duluth has become a leading center in this respect where next spring Duluth sportsmen expect to hold one of the leading trials of the season. TheEast also has its trials and its share of good dogs. For here is sport in the final mean­ing of the word.' Beau Jack Warms XJp .

One day Gob­ lin wanders Into a mountain valley and barely escapes death from U s grand- sire’s slashing hoofs. Whmi his wounds heal, his 12-year-old owner, Ken Mc­ Laughlin, begins to train him- Although difficult to handle, Goblin can run with astonishing speed and endurance. In a trial he covers a half mite In 4? seconds. He escapes gelding by an accident. Charley Sargent, millionaire horse breed­ er, is enthusiastic about Goblin's pos­ sibilities. CHAPTER XV ' Rob conceded that Thunderbead had been promoted. Since the speed he had shown that afternoon, he would be guarded, cherished, watched over like the crown prince. Ken could hardly believe it. “Do you mean you’ll keep him in this winter, dad? And—and—feed him oats—and hay?” "With my own fair hands! What's more I’ll ride him and continue his training whenever I have time. That’s the least I can do if he’s going to put wooden fences on the ranch and buy a furnace for usl What do you think, Nell?” He had seen her sitting there, silent and white, after the hard look he had given her. She looked up as he spoke to her. His face was genial and smiling. First the blow—then the smile— But she didn’t answer for a mo­ment and Ken was impatient. "Mother!” he exclaimed. “Yes,” she said. “By all means! Keep him in.” When Nell psked Rob, she made It very casual. She was brushing her hair for the night. “By the way, Rob—did you see Bellamy?’* “Yes.” "What about the sheep?” “It’s O.K.” “Thank Heaven! Will he be able to pay us the first half before How­ ard leaves?” "No, he can’t do that. He has to wait until he sells his lambs.” "What’ll we do? We have to have that eight hundred by September tenth.” Rob had his back to her, standing before his chiffonier. !Hiere was something very rigid about his body —the legs braced apart a little, head back. "I’ll take some horses down to file Denver auction this next week.” Nell made no comment. She cal­ culated rapidly. Every summer he had half a dozen or so “scrubs” to 6ell at any price he could get— horses who were too small, or poorly developed, or with some defect Sometimes he sold them to Wil­ liams, a horse buyer who went around to ranches with his own truck; or at one of the near-by auc­ tions. Wherever he sold them, he would be lucky to get fifty dollars apiece for them. There were also the two old brood mares to be sold. ’Altogether, that would make, per­ haps, four hundred dollars. What else would he sell to make up the difference? There had been many arguments between herself and Rob on the sub­ ject of providing for their current needs by sales of horses—no mat­ ter at what sacrifice. He always refused to do it. “What? Sell a horse that’s worth fifteen hundred dollars for fifty? Not if I was starv­ ing.” “But Rob—how many sales of that sort do you get?” "I’ve had some—We’ve lived, haven’t we?”“Yes—four horses four years ago at seven hundred dollars a piece. Then, none the next year. Then one for two thousand—I admit that was a good sale—But you must have thirty or forty horses just waiting for one of those sales—and they only come once in a blue moon— When we need the money, you might as well sell half a dozen for any­thing—you would still have enough fine horses for any sort of deal that came along.” “I’d rather sell one for two thou­ sand than twenty horses at a hun­ dred dollars a head, or forty horses at fifty.” Such remarks as these were un­ answerable. But he-wasn’t talking like that now. Nell glanced at him. Did he mean that he would take some of his fine stuff down to the Denver auction and let it go cheap? - As he turned she saw his face, weary and harassed- He went into the small adjoining bedroom where he kept his boots and clothes.They talked hack and forth through the open door while she washed her face in oil and carefully dried it. “Wasn't it exciting about Thun- derhead?” the asked. I “Yep.” 1 "You didn’t see the best of it,” she said. “I wish you had.” She could hear him polishing his shoes before he put them away. “Oh, he can run!” he said. “He’s fast, if he ever gets the kinks ironed out of him—Don’t wait for me—Fm going to smoke a pipe before I turn in.” “You don’t seem to take much stock in him, Rob.”- < ' v "No, I don’t ” M A R Y 1 OtH A R A W .N .U . FSA TU R CS*—* — -C— After a short silence, Nell said, “Neither do I. It just seems un­ likely, somehow, that he’ll pan out”• • • “Shall we take Skippy to the auc­ tion with us?” yelled Howard, busi­ ly brushing and grooming Sultan, the big blood-bay who, his father said, was worth a good five hun­ dred dollars to anyone that wanted a well-trained heavy hunter. “I should say not!" yelled Rob from the other corral where he was giving Injun the work-out he had promised Nell the horse should have every day. “Do you want to dis­ grace me? What sort of horse-breed­ er would raise an animal like that?” There was the sound of galloping. Three beautiful sorrel mares, Taffy, A-Honey, and Russet came canter­ ing down the pasture, toward the corral with Ken, mounted on Thun- derhead, behind them. Howard hastened to open the gates, the mares trotted in, and Ken slid off his horse. “That’s all, dad," he yelled. “They’re all here. Thirteen of ’em.” “AU right. Unsaddle your horse. You can wipe him off, but don’t take all day. I want you to help Howard groom those others.” The gate of the corral where Rob was exercising Injun was carefully opened. NeU entered and stood watching. She was dressed in a summer suit of light blue linen and a tan straw hat with a round brim that curved off her face. It was nearly the color of the tawny bang that gleamed on her forehead. With her hands thrust into the pockets of her jacket and her smaU feet in their sturdy flat shoes planted in “We have to have that eight hun­ dred by September the tenth.” the loose soil, she had her UttIe girl look. “You’re taking Sultan?” she aSked. “And Smoky and Blue.” She no­ ticed them In the string that How­ ard and Ken were grooming. They were blue roans—a pair of beauties, with sweeping tails and gentle eyes, just too small for Army or polo, but well broken and beautifully matched. NeU had always thought of them as belonging to two Uttle girls, sisters, who would love them and saddle and groom them them­ selves. “And Taffy, and A-Honey and Rus­set,” said Rob, turning Injun and riding him down along the fence again. NeU’s question was answered. Rob was going to do the thing he had always vowed he would never do—throw away some of his best stuff to meet an urgent need of the moment. Injun turned and came back. Rob’s face was hard as nails. NeU hated to look at it. She could see the real suffering underneath. “I’d have saved Sultan for the army sale—he’d have been certain for a hundred and eighty-five dol­lars—except for that scar on his chest. Damn the barbed wire!” As if Injun felt the passion and violence of his master he began to crouch and lunge. Rob turned him sharply away from Nell and forced him to resume his measured pacing up and down the corral fence. When he reached NeU again he paused and said more calmly, “You don’t often see such horses as these in this country.”“I know you don’t,” said NeU sad­ ly.“There won’t be anything at the auction to touch them!” “I don’t doubt it.” “Mother!” yeUed Howard from the other corral, “Don’t you think we ought to take Skippy to the auc­ tion and seU her?” “SeU her I” scoffed Rob, “seU Skippyl The boy must be out of his mind!” NeU laughed. “Someone might buy her. A* cUld could ride her.” The thirteen horses ,were ready tor loading, crowded into the smaU corral which opened into the chute. It was always a difficult business. NeU stood near by, watching. It depressed her. She didn’t mind the ancient brood mares and the scrubs, but Sultan! And the three sorrel mares! And the two blues! “Skippy might help,” said Nell, "and you could squeeze her in— she’s so small they wouldn’t know she was there.” “Ken, come here!” yeUed his fa­ther. -He put Ken on Skippy, placed her in advance, of aU the others and told the boy to ride her through the chute and up the ramp. As Ken did so, Rob and Howard forced the others horses after them. Skippy led the procession trium­ phantly but laid her ears back when she found herself penned into a cor­ ner of the truck with no room to kick and no oats. “Just promise not to bring Skippy back, even if you have to give her away,” caUed NeU as they closed the truck. She walked up onto the hiU to see the last of them. Kim and Chaps sat down beside her and watched too. She thought she saw a hand waving just before the truck went around the curve. Then it was gone and she hurried indoors. The old brood mares sold imme­ diately for forty doUars apiece after it was ascertained that each one carried a foal. “Better that than the coyotes,” muttered Rob. There was more bidding for the scrubs. They were ridden around and around the ring by the ring boys, while whips cracked and the raucous voice of the auctioneer rattled as fast as the tobacco sell­ ers on the radio. The scrubs were auctioned off for an average of forty-five dollars each. Sultan was led In. “My Gosht Look at that horse!” exclaimed the auctioneer. The ham­ mer crashed. “Who’U bid a hun­ dred for him? A hundred! A hun­ dred! Who’U bid a hundred?” As he poured out his line, the ring boy made a leap for Sultan’s bade. Sultan reared and plunged away, tore loose from the rope, and went gaUoping around the ring. Three boys pursued him, cornered him, got his rope; he StiU fought them, the whips cracked, he lashed with his heels, and the auctioneer, not looking at him, was crying, “Who’U bid a hundred? Am I bid a hundred?” “Seventy-five,” bid a heavy-set farmer. “Seventy-six!” bid the man in file bowler hat. The farmer bid “Eighty.” The man in the bowler hat bid “Eighty- one.” Sultan was sold to the farmer for ninety doUars. The farmer was at Sultan’s side as Ken slid off him. He was pleased with his buy. “That’s what I caU a real horse. He’U do me as weU as a FarmaU would, and without gasoline too.” He chuckled and ran his hand over the horse’s withers. “Are you going to use him to plow?” The farmer looked at him in as­ tonishment. “I sure am. What de you s’pose I’m payin’ ninety doUars for?” t “He’s a hunter,” exclaimed Ken desperately. "A beavy hunter.” “Hunter,” repeated the farmer. "Hunt what?” “Foxes." “Foxes! You mean coyotes? I hunt plenty of coyotes—but I hunt them with a Ford and a couple of greyhounds. I won’t need a plug for that. What do you caU him?” “Sultan." The ring boy led the horse away and the farmer foUowed. Ken stood, looking after them miserably. “That’s a good horse, Sonny.” Ken looked up. The taU man with the bowler hat stood beside him. He had a red face and a sharp nose. !‘Any more where he came from?” he asked. “Yes,” said Ken sullenly. “A lot more.” "Whose horses are they?” “My father’s. Captain McLaugh­ lin.” Ken walked back to Howard. When the auction was over the man in the bowler hat hgd bought Smoky, Blue, Taffy, A-Hdney and Russet for prices ranging from six­ ty-five to ninety-five doUars. Rob stood with his boys out In the road, while the jam of cars, trailers and trucks edged out of the parking places and started on their way home. The man in tbe bowler hat was with him. Rob said, “This is Mr. Gilroy. My two boys, Mr. Gilroy, Howard and Ken.” The boys Shook hands. "I want you to go home in the bus with Gits—” he stuck his hand in his pocket, brought out some bills, and gave them to Howard. You’U get home by nine o’clock. Buy some sandwiches and eat them on the bus—you can get them where you take the bus. Over there—” He pointed, giving Howard precise instructions. “Mr. Gilroy and I are going to have dinner together. Ill bring the truck.- Ten your mother not to wait up, FU be late.” At dinner Rob asked, “Would you teU me what you bought aU my horses for? Are they for your own use?”“No. I bought them for resale,* “Where wUl you seU them?” (TO BE CONTINUED), -------------IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L- LUNDQUISTt D. D.Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago Released by Western Newspaper Union* Lesson for December 9 „ Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by Litematlonal Council of Reugioua Education:. used by permission* THE CHRISTIAN’S PLACE IN THE LIFE OF HIS NATION (Temperance Lessen) LESSON TEXT: M att 1:13-16, 43-48: I Peter 2:13-17.GOLDEN TEXT: Blessed Is the nation whose God is the Lord.—Psalm 33:12. Men make up nations. Human be­ ings in a land like ours determine by their interests and attitudes the direction in which the entire social order moves. That In turn deter­ mines what kind of government we have. If the totalitarian philosophies have colored our thinking and caused us to forget the importance of the individual in the life of our nation, let us turn at once to the right view. ,Particularly important is the bear­ ing which individual Christians can and should have on our national life. We have tended to draw back and fail to use the power and position which we have by God’s grace. Nowhere does that show more than in our failure (perhaps one should say shameful failure!) to bring Christian principles to bear upon the appalling liquor problem. This is temperance Sunday. Do not tail to Aress that phase of Christian citizenship today. How should Christians make their influence felt in the nation? By be­ ing what they ought to be and con­ tributing to its life. Note these things in our lesson—the Christian gives: I. Salt (Matt. 5:13). We are the, salt of the earth, and the pungent savor of Christ is to be evident in us as we touch life round about us—in the church, in the home, and in the nation. True salt is antiseptic and purify­ ing. It fights corruption wherever it is found. How effective the spir­ itually salty Christian and church shoidd be against the corrupt polit­ical system, the liquor industry, vice and sin of all kinds. Have we lost our savor (v. 13)?. H. Light (Matt. 5:14-16). A light is intended to give illumi­ nation to all round about it. It al­ ways does unless someone hides it under a cover, and then it becomes not only useless but dangerous. A life lighted by faith in Christ will shine to the very ends of the earth and, as a missionary once said, "The light that shines farthest shines brightest at home.” We are the light of the world, but if. we cover our light we deny the very essence of our natures. Here is no thought of proud or selfish dis­ play. Light does not shout about itself, it just shines. Who will deny that there is need of some real spiritual light in some of the dark corners of our national life? Who is to shine in such places but you and me, fellow-believer? Then, too, let us not forget that God has sent us out to light other lights. We can best serve our na­ tion, and best meet the challenge of liqnor by turning men to Christ. That doesn’t mean that we should neglect other “good works,” but it is well to keep “first things first.” m . Love (Matt. 5:43-48). “Love your enemies” (v. 44); that is the standard which Christ has established for His followers. While the love one has for the brethren is without doubt a more intimate re­lationship than the love one may have for an enemy, we must not seek to minimize the real love we should have even for those who curse and revile us. It is to move us so deeply that we not only treat them kindly, but also pray for them. Humanly speaking such a thing is impossible, but in Christ it is not only possible, it has actually, been demonstrated in life. It is so easy for Christians to speak with derision that borders on hatred about ‘‘the devil’s gang,” and to lose all love for the crowd that hangs around the tavern and the gambling house. Let us hate their sin, but may God help us to show that we really love them. Love will do more to reach the world for Christ, and more to direct our national life into right channels than any other influence we can bring) to bear. Let us do all we can, but let us do it all In love. IV. Loyalty (I Pet. 2:13-17). The loyalty of the Christian to right authority should be glad and free, not by necessity or by co­ ercion. The believer-will see in all men the image of God and will honor them even though he may not be able to respect or approve their way of life. The dignity and position of the individual is always recognized by Christianity. The brotherhood of true believers should call forth a peculiar love. We need to renew that brotherly affec­ tion between believers. Fear of God, that is, the desire to do His blessed will, shows itself in the best kind of citizenship. Govern­ ment would serve itself well if it encouraged every effort to win its citizens to Christ.

DECEMBER 5,1945. POST-WAR FLYING IN YOGR HOME TOWN On the Air Map j America has become air con­ scious. Under the" impetus of war, I aviation has advanced further than it might in several decades in nor­ mal times. Realizing this, town of­ ficials and civic minded citizens everywhere wonder just how and where their communities will fit in the postwar air picture. First necessary step, it is general­ ly understood, is to provide facili- 4 HM Tumur 0^Sedafia T oft - ' * MifL a FCMdtMoa STATE tam k I .WuiiUuii ISMUm . ^ SjUtai „ * BuffaloBoHw A typical section of an air map re­ cently published by the department of resources and development of a midwestern state. ties so that planes can land and take-off, be maintained and re­ paired. But airports are known to be costly to build and operate. Me­ dium-sized and small communities feel that such installations are be­ yond their reach.If the term “airport” is used in Hs usual significance as a terminus for commercial airlines this may be true. It is because “airport” is too general a tern and does not allow for distinctions as to size and type of landing facility, that it has now become necessary to provide other designations. Thus the Personal Aircraft Coun­ cil of the Ainxaft Industries Asso­ ciation of America has suggested that facilities suitable for small com­ munities or for neighborhood land­ ing areas in large cities be called airparks. Interm ediate landing places between cities, probably spaced at intervals where distances are great, are to be termed Bight- stops. Towns or communities that have adjacent bays, rivers or lakes upon which aerial watercraft or am­phibian planes could land, may be interested’in establishing air harbors. Showing th&t towns may easily be linked to world airways and pointing out that “the airplane has come to Main Street,” the Council has pre­ pared an illustrated booklet entitled “Put Your Town on the Air Map/' for free distribution to community officials and planning groups. It explains why the community which has no provisions to accom­ modate personal aircraft will be passed by in the air age. Whereas rails, roads and docks have buffi successful communities in the past, landing facilities for private plane: as well as for feeder or area type transport planes will' pace the growth of communities in the future In the plans and diagrams includ­ ed it is emphasized that no commu­ nity is too small for an airpark 01 similar landing facility; that the size and cost can be regulated according to the needs of the community 01 its ,potentialities; and that airpark: eventually may pay their way, bott directly and indirectly.

Everybody had a right to work hard, , save as much as he could of his earnings and use his head as profitably as possible in business. If you have a taste for long words you might call the three freedoms in­ dustry, frugality and ingenuity. Politics in those days were all full of rich-man vs. poor-man problems, same as now. They were, to be sure, better decorated with pretty English but the issues were about the sam e/ What will we have to work with? If we do well, how much can we keep, and how much will be taken by the. government? Government in those days was the English king, of course. - Lovers of Freedom People who thought the king ought to show more liberality called them­ selves liberals. In theory the king owned the land. In reality he held a tight rein over his subjects. He taxed them plenty and his subsidized buying concern paid little enough for what they produced. A liberal, in those days, was a man who want­ ed government to loosen up a bit in favor of the individual. Affairs of the people were not changed very much by the Revolu­ tion. Colonies changed into states and new issues arose but still there was an over-all government. In this over-all government were people who had power-lust, or else feared to trust the common people with vital decisions. Opposed to these power-hungry folk were the liberals, still plugging for personal liberty. Liberals Won Out The liberals were right. Time has proved' beyond a doubt that people act better and live better and make more progress materially and spir­ itually when they have more free­ dom. Since the United States be­ came a first-class power in record time, the world's wealthiest and happiest people, the word “liberal” has been popular here. A liberal, to us, is one who wants the individu­ al to be free. Through the same historic peri­ ods America has had reactionaries. They were the people, in colonial days, who wanted the king to rule them. After the Revolution, the same element wanted an iron-rod rule in Washington—something like a dictator. Small wonder that re­ actionaries have always been un­ popular in America, people who howl against the system and try to grab power for themselves. Try to Swap Labels Reactionaries in America today are smart. They have learned one lesson well. They are very sure ot one thing: they have a bad name< They know also that the word “lib­ eral” is an asset. Accordingly they have adopted the term “liberalism” and call themselvet liberals. This is the very same political element that supports more government rules and less liberty for individuals. By the same strategy, this polit­ ical element has begun to call peo­ ple reactionaries who hold precise­ly to the liberal teachings of Thom­ as Jefferson. Don’t let anybody tell you that government control iff ev­ erything, and the destruction of in­ dividual freedom and opportunity, is the liberalism that'Americans think so highly of—nor that it is liberal­ ism at all. It is a counterfeit road • sign designed to misdirect Ameri­ can thinking away from the ways of freedom.

Russia has totalized herself—one buyer and one seller—ta d it totalizes all countries coming under her aegs.” H ere is sound advice which WiH not be heeded by the interna­ tionalists, especially die pinkish ones, , w ho would like to - see our competitive system destroyed, Great Britain is our immediate competitor in world trade and our m ost insistent borrowier. The British Laborgovesnment is think­ ing first of nationalizing die Bank of England and the coal mines. NextwiU the steel industry and soon die alir-lines. W hen these are taken over—with die aidi of our money, if we are not careful —they can be used by die govern­ m ent itself to out-bid and out out- maneuver our owned privately- owned Industries in the same murkets, Mr. Baruch also pounted out that before we tried'to fix our de­ finite economic policies at home and abroad, how much money we should spend, we oughi to have a thorough survey of our economy conditions and an overall and dean picture of our own situation, our own resources and capabilities. Then we will know exactly what we can do and ought to do. . This is sound advice. Republi­ can leaders in and out of Congress have been'suggesting it and insist­ ing on it for several m onths.. But it doesn’t suit die New Dealers w ho are again firmly in die saddle. They can work better in a fog. The only support; if any, they give Mr. Baruch’s ideas will be lip sup­ port.—Ex.______________ Damping War Material Sydney, Australia—C. A. Bur­ ley, correspondent for-die Sidney Sun, said in.a dispatch from Ra- baul that Americans abandoning Pacific islands are "dumping into die sea o rare burning millions, of pounds worth of gear.” Burley said Australian passing through the Eadfic areas caHed the destruction "staggering in scope and thoroughness.” ; Burley said “the American ar­ gum ent isth at ifth e stu ffis ship­ ped home it would merely mean shifting junk heaps from one place to another.” , Solid South No Hdp To Republicans One of .the Dolitical illusions which envelops many Republicans especially during campaign-years, is that'.if. they could only. crack the Solid South tfie. success of the Re. publican presidential candidate would be assued, suggests Ffank .P Litschen, writing in The Republic- Bulleton. National leaders of the party, are therefore, regularly im- port itncd to send monev and orga­ nizers into'the Southern 3 'ales for the purpose of winning them a. way fiom the Teinocrais. Tlie in- portnned leaders, wise and experi­ enced in 1 he way ot politics seldom listen to these, appeals The) know that wooing Dixie into the ReDUhIiCan camp, so long as sec tion I prejudice iemains, is a w Il oieh impossible task. , It is true that .in 1928 a few slates like' Vir- ginia, Texas, and North Carolina voted against the Democratic Can­ dida I e, Alffed E. Smith, because of his religion. Bnt there was no par ti-an political issue, involved. Bnt the further fact is. that the Solid South is no longer a decisive political factor; it simply does not have the requisite number of e!ec oral votes. Let ns talce the 1044- general, elections as an example There was said to be strong pra juiice against the New Deal in the Solid Sonth Yet President Roose- velccarried. everv one of the South, era States. • Bnt it is a fact tha' even if Governor Dewey bad carried the Solid South—Alabama, Ark­ ansas, Florida, Georia, Louisiana, Mississippi. North Carolina, So .th Carolina, Texas and Virginia, be still would have lost the election bv a. puraltv of 100 electoral votes. In addition, had he won the border states of Kentucky and Tennesse-, hie stili would have lacked .55 votes of having a plurality in the Elec­ toral College.. Ou tbeotber hand even if Presi­ dent Roofevelt did bold the South ern and border stotes but had Ioar just eight "-ot the more populous Northern industrial states, - Gover­ nor Dewey would rhave defeated him. The real battleground is the doubtful industrial states of the North. - Either party can win by carrying these great industrial states no matter, what the Solid Sontb does about the election. That is why the-Republican-leaders conti nue to turn a neaf ear to the ap peals from the South and to center tbeir effortsTn the Northern States. Of course the leaders of both major parties realize t e true politi cal situation. It explains wbv the Democratic purty under President Truruan will continue to pay a great deal of attention to- the CIO and otuer liberal elements in the North. Most people Delieve it can do this and still hold the / sullen Southern Democrats Bnteven if it were to lose the Southern States it could still win On the other band without the left-wingers on the North, to give it a chance to carry the industrial states, it could win. This explains the real pull ing power the leftwingers "of the North have'with the- Truman ad­ ministration.—Union Republican.'

A raw, unpeeled apple will prevent them from drying out. Sngar-Shy Cbolties Good cookies are always in sea­ son, but particularly so at Christmas time.. TWs year, of course, we are still working un­ der difficulties be­ cause sugar is not easy to ob­ tain. But that needn’t put .a crimp in the Tuletide cookie jar. Corn syrups, honey and unrationed. chocolate are all on hand to help with the Christmas baking. Ybu will find the recipes for these substitutes so good that they’re here to stay even when we have plenty of sugar. Cookies made for Christmas are usually prepared ahead of time-to save work as the big celebration ap­ proaches. It’s a smart idea to take precautions with them to keep them fresh and moist. First of all, use nuts and dried fruits whenever pos­ sible as these ingredients add mois­ ture. Second, pack them in waxed paper lined tins with a raw apple. Then they won’t dry out. Incidentally, when using honey or com syrup in cookies, grease the baking pans thoroughly to prevent sticking. Melted fatbrushedonthe tins usually, solves the problem neat- iy. Here are two types of cookies, nei­ ther of-whieh requires any sugar at all. One uses com syrup for sweet­ ening and the other, honey: Fndge Nnt Sqnares- (Makes 16 2-inch squares) 1 cup chocolate pieces 2 tablespoons shortening t eggs, beaten 14 cup com syrup H teaspoon vanilla I cup cake flour, sifted 14 teaspoon baking powder Kr teaspoon salt }4 cup nuts, chopped Melt chocolate and shortening over hot water. Beat eggs thorough- ly, add co rn syrup and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Stir in melted, chocolate and' shortening, which have been slight­ ly booled. Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt. Add to Chocolate mixture. Stir in nuts. Pour into a greased, 8-inch square pan. Bake in a moderately hot (375-de- gree) oven for-25 to 30 minutes.

The bone fromja roast may-be simmered with onion, celery, car­ rots, bay leaf and parsley. This stock is excellent for casseroles, sauces, or as a gravy base.

We need the help of business, patriotic and civic organizations^ of the press and ra­ dio, in solving a problem of space and personnel which is, slowing up our job.” In the meantime, Jheveterans ad­ ministration has inaugurated a six- point program for amputee rehabili­ tation to include: (I) direct veteran contact to learn problems, invite criticism -and provide corrective measures; (2) a survey to determine Svailabilitei. of prosthetic appli­ ances; (3) to provide each veteran a booklet with essential information; (4) a program of scientific after­ care designed to meet the'need of the veteran; (5) a conference wittt artificial limb manufacturers to es­ tablish fixed limb standards; (6) to Ntablish a museum of prosthetic ap­ pliances. ..

For the first time in '15 years Kentucky has a Republican U nit­ ed States Senator. This will no doubt make it a sad Christmas for many Kentudcy Colonels. See by the papers that Uncle Sam is loaning Great Britain four and a half billion dollars. If our memory serves us right the British are still owing us a billion or two fhat we loaned them during the war that was to make the world safe for democracy—the war that was to end all wars. ■ « During this glad Christmas sea­ son let’s remember the orphans throughout this land, the thous­ ands of wounded soldiers and the tends of thousands of children who will not have a toy or an ap­ ple for Christmas without we do­ nate to the Salvation Atmy.

W e are not try­ ing to fool the people by telling them that our paper js indepen­ dent. Such papers are about as scarce as breakfast bacon.

EISENHOWER—DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN WASHINGTON. — When Admiral Dewey returned triumphant from capturing the Philippines in the Spanish-American war, newsmen asked the conquering hero whether he was a Democrat or a Republi­ can. The admiral wasn’t quite sure which. That ended the Dewey boom for President. Today, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower may be put in the same position as Admiral Dewey. Both parties are considering new blood for 1948. GOP leaders are convinced that, given a candidate who can win labor votes yet not alienate the Hoover conserv­ atives, they can win. Obviously, Eisenhower is important presidential timber.Popular impression is. that Eisen­ hower is a Republican. He was ap­pointed to West Point from the rock- ribbed Republican state of Kansas by GOP Senator Joseph P. Bristow. And nobody in those days could get anywhere in Kansas unless he was a Republican. However, though it may be news to GOP leaders, Dwight Eisenhower put himself on record early in life as a Democrat. Furthermore, he was an energetic William Jennings Bryan Democrat, and in November, 1909, made a speech at'the annual Democratic banquet held in Abilene, Kan. The other speakers were older and seasoned Kansas Demo­ crats; but Dwight Eisenhower, then only 19, was picked to stand up with them and harangue the crowd. He did. IKE’S OLD FRIEND I am indebted for this information to J. W. Howe now of Emporia, Kan. Howe not only published the Abi­ lene News, but was a member of the school board and knew young Dwight better than anyone outside his own family. The Abilene News office was head­ quarters for a group of high school boys who came there to discuss their problems, talk sports and poli­ tics, read the papers and do odd jobs for the paper. J. W. Howe says of Eisenhower: "Dwight liked to read Qie ex­ change newspapers from out of town. He never complained about working, seeming to take that for granted. In school dis­ cussions, he was always for the nnder-dog and contended we needed a somewhat better dis­ tribution of wealth.” William Jennings Bryan at that time had made.many speeches in Abilene and the young folks liked to hear him. In fact, Bryan made some definite inroads on Qie repub­ licans. The Republican party at that time was beginning to be split into two groups, led by Taft and Teddy Roosevelt. The fight in Abi­ lene was bitter, and this was the situation when Dwight Eismihower started out in 1909 to get the proper endorsements to enter West Point. DWIGHT GOT TO WEST POINT The Eisenhower family had no political . pull — on the contrary. Dwight’s father was listed as a Democrat, though he took little part in politics. Dwight himself was more active than his . father, but whatever pull he had was with the Democrats. However, the fac­ tional Republican fight helped him. Editor Howe, the town’s chief Demo­ cratic leader, advised Dwight, to go get the endorsement of Phil W. Heath, editor of the Abilene Chron­ icle and s p o k e s m a n for the "Square-Deal” Republicans; also to get the endorsement of Cbarles M. Harger, editor of the Abilene Re­ flector, spokesman for the “Stand- Pat” Republicans: Since young Eisenhower was not allied with either faction, Heath and Harger. were > very friendly, and gladly gave him their support. Thus, he was able to. obtain not only the endorsement of the Democrats, but of both Republican factions—a real coihpliment to his standing In the community. Eisenhower’s first and only ven- ■ ture into politics occurred while he was taking postgraduate work at the Abilene high school, preparatory to West Point. Chief shaker at the Democratic banquet was George H. Hodges, later governor of Kansas. Dwight’s subject was “The Student in Politics.” Two themes ran through the speech of the 19-year-old future commander of the Allied armies in Europe—j/reparedness and "helping the under-dog. - According to the Abilene News: “To say that he handled himself nicely would be putting it mildly. His speech was well received.” A few months later, Ike Eisen­ hower was in West Point, where no one is supposed to be either a Demo­ crat or a Republican. EISENHOWER MERRT GO ROUND 'In high school, young Dwight was called “Ugly Ike.” . . . One day .a^ gang of schoolboys trooped into J. W. Howe’s editorial offices to nar­ rate how Ike fell off a horse. “The horse turned his'head to knock off a fly and Ike just fell off,” they said. .. • Dwight had come in walk­ ing/ on one leg and guarding his arm: He just grinned. Actually, the horse had stepped in a hole and fallen, but ,Ike never tried.to ex­ plain it to the other boys. . .. . The. Eisenhower gang at school had odd traits.

A /f OST of the club owners and managers in the N a tio n a I league are. wondering, how they can keep, the Cardinals in check through 1946.' Many of them 'are hoping to get In on the big sale . When said Cardinals begin -to shed:, some of their surplus talent. And it might be mentioned that more than a few of the ball players, who wore big league uniforms last sea- sbn are Wondering what, ,minor league will get Qieir serv­ ices when- a new season/starts. For there will be many a sad. fare­ well to big league glory when the serv- icem an start re­ turning in groups— some 200 ’ of them who will be back when the bluebird starts chirping in the sun next March. The American league shows bet-’ ter prospects of a hot scrap than the National., The Yankees will haye DiMaggio, Keller, Henrich, Lindell, Gordon, Rizzuto, Johnson, Chandler, Ruffing, Russo, and several others in camp. This is a formidable' group. But don’t , forget that Joe Cronin of-the Red Sox will also have on hand such stars as Ted Williams, Tex Hugh- son, Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio, Pesky 'a t short, Harris and a few more who can play their fuR allot* ment .of baseball. Not overlooking Dave Ferris. And don’t fofget the Tigers ''will have W akefield,Mc- Cosky,. MulIim Greenberg; with a pitching staff that includes New- houser, Trout and Trucks; TheThreeLeaders ' The Yankees, Red Sox and Tigers should be the three A. L. leaders as-far as one-can.see now.through the gathering winter, mists and fogs. Most' of 'the ~ others' Will have a hard Qnie matching this talent: They won’t have equal pitching or Qat- ting strength as it looks today. •' Things will be even rougher for such teams in'.the National league as the Phillies, Braves, Reds and even the Giants. These have no ball players returning with the Class and quality of the Cardinal array. And Qiey are already well back of the Cubs. The Dodgers have the best chance to finish high up. They can’t move back the Cardinals but Qy next spring with .Reiser, Reese and other returning stars added to: their im­ proving young talent they will have quite,a ball club. .This will include good ., pitching, hard hitting and speed. But they'will, also need a few more , good men, especially on the pitching and infield side. Mandarin Rickey: could use a few of the stars he once controlled on the Cardinal farms. '• * * Fumbling Tigers - It was . generally agreed, except for its pitching and Greenberg’s hitting, the Tiger dub was perhaps the. worst that ever appeared in a world series. Troutii Trucks and Newhouser' plus Greenberg’s big bat should have planted the Tigers on top in four of the first six games. But the Tigers defensive play in the fifth and sixth game and part of its offensive'play in the.sixth, game was something too terrible to look at. It belonged to the sahdlot vari­ ety where infield' and outfield pop- ups were'not even touched, where they threw badly to the wrong base and where they otherwise' com­ mitted mayhem on the. grand, old game. Only their pitchers and Greenberg kept them going against a Cub team that was certainly no World series prize. . "The Cubs finished Qie seveto game series with a .team batting av­ erage around .263, well ahead of the Tigers,’’.one oldthner points out. “But don’t forget most of the Cub hits should have been handled. Tiger pitching-was far better than it looked to be in. the figures. Withjust fair support for Tiger pitching, the Cubs wouldn’t have batted .200.” ' Up to the closing game, the Cubs had no pitching to. offer except Btor- owy and Passeau. The others were on the soft side, easy targets for Tiger bats. The ,Cubs , also had .no power punch worth writing about. Thfe two 1945 teams were far below the qualityof. the Cardinals' and Browns a year ago. They were the worst of all the wartime teams in almost every respect. But at least Qiey kept things exciting with every one wondering what bum play or boner they wopld pull next. A good part of it all was a travesty on world series, baseball, with the big spot and the big stake to be won or lost, yet interest remained at high ebb all the way through. CobbonBatting RecenQy 'I asked Cobb if he had any advice to give young hiQers, now coming up. “Here are two main points,” he said. “Stand well back in the batter’s box. Don’t move up forward. By standing back you can see and judge better how a curve will break.'Don’t crowd the fdate. Keep in'position where you have the leverage left1 to hit an inside pitch.

The other suit was a silvery gray - tweed, very becoming to Howard’s . slick Made hair and good color. Both boys had fine Skins; smooth, honey- tan and rosy.

How could there have come, .Suddenly, this great difference between him­ self and Howard, so that he felt re­ spectful? He loriked down at him­ self. He was too small to count. Weil, Howard had only done' this shooting up in the last year—there was stffl time. The most impressive moment was . when Howard put oh the Fedora hat. The newly six feet of his slender height had.done nothing to his head and fece. The head was so small you wondered at it up there, and the face was the face of a’litfle boy. Topped by the Fedora hat—! Hell had to turn away to hide her laugh­ ter.'-' ^ ; Ken began to feel very close to life with Howisni going spray Jiho this. The Fedora—the long blue suit —the - Mige Oxfords—life wasvan enormous hollow to the right aide of him. It was as Mg as the World. It was gray and filled. 1With darker gray clouds, swirling about. Often he turned his head and 'lookedinto it. - ' _ Howard going Away to West Point! Weffi- almost West Point He’d 'learn how to !walk'the West Point walk. All their lives it had been fun—it had been an exciting stunt to get their fether to walk the West Point wblk for them.. When they begged him: Jo -do ft-and atfirsthepaidnoattentionandthen suddenly stood up and then stepped out, it alwhys struck them dumb. You could feel something at the roots of your hair. At times he had. tried to teach it to them—right foot (uid left arm ®®it shoulder forward— left foot and right arm and shoulder forward—the knees lifted high (just for- practice) feet going in a. circle. Hire the curving trot of a horse. But. it was IikeHying to command the wobbling fogs of young colts.' When they went to the movies and, in the newsreel, saw-the shot of the West Pointers marching, they strained to catch the details of the walk before it was flashed off.. Howard had an odd walk. He slouched. Wheit he tried to stiffen up and do It correctly he had a lit* tie jerk. It wasn’t smooth. ’What’ll; they say about fliat?”. asked Ken anxiously. Rob roared, startilngly, "There goes McLauydin bouncing in-line!” This was the last straw for Ken. It removed Howard utterly. At for tervals during the day, fee words rang in his ears, there goes Mc- Laughlin bouncing in line. He' wasn’t even Howard any more. . He was McLaughlin. And he was in the linel To. save expense, Howard was to go east wiffl the shipment of horses his. father was taking to Dr. Hor­ ner’s sale. The railroad allowed one men to each carload of horses, free of charge. There were to be two Carloads. 'Every horse on the ranch, three years oM -and up, was to go, and a few of the twos who had had enough training. In all, forty-eight horses. Howard sat talking to his father in the den, One ankle hanging across the other knee just as his fether-did it.

Indeed, since the auc­ tion, when he had sacrificed some of Ms best stock for a.few hundred dollars, he had been, she said to herself, fit to be tied. She tried to think it out. Had She done anything so terrible'that she must be punished like this?-/ The: thing she had done—her criticism of him—had shattered the illusion that he was perfect in her eyes, and a man of his pride and self-confidence amply could not toke.it. Most of the time, when he loioked at her, his face had an expression of sardonic animosity. . Occasionally 'it was worse than that—it was like a blow. And aU the love and tenderness was gone. One night, before going to bed, she' went into Ken’s room for a mo­ ment. He lay an his back in the moon-flooded room, the sheet thrown off, the pillow oh toe. floor. He was spread-eagled — arms and legs thrownwide. S s breath came even­ ly, The top button of his pajama jacket was fastened.'- From there it was dyawn away/by toe twist of his body exposing toe thin, bare, frail-looking torso of -a child. The fogs of bis pajamas had slid up, one foot bung Ihnp ever the edge of toe bed. His face was Misstull-Ms lips part­ ed in an ecstatic smile! Dreaming Cf Thimdeihead, thought Neffi as she gently turned, straightened him, replaced the MHuw and drew up the sheet. It did not wake him, he had felt these hands since his birth. He made a murmurous sound, rolled on his side, drew up bis knees, gave a deep sigh and was instantly-quiet again—breathing deeply and regu­ larly.Nell went on down the hall to Howard’s room. There was a line Of light .under his door. Howard was standing half naked; examining his physique in toe small m irror over Ms chiffonier. /"Howard! Why aren’t you- in fed?” q“Gee, Mother! I was just stand­ ing: here a minute*-*” His voice slipped down to bass and they both , laughed -and'iti Slipped again.. "How’s your muscle?/’ asked NML -Heflexedhisarmir "Feelit, moth­ er! What do you think? I was won­ dering if I was getting a little Mt mdscle-bound.” j ' She squeezed foe smaR egg of his muscle and looked solemnly at Min. 1 His shoulders-: were narrow, Ms . smooth chest very childish, his ribs Stood out bravely over a little waist' she could almost have clasped with her hands. But She had to reach up-to' Slipher atm-around Ms neck. ' He gave her a shy, naked hug and She laid her cheek against his. "What do you think?” he insisted., “ No—I wouldn’t call you muscle- bound. Howard—go to bed. You must: get your sleep.” Oa the day before toe departure Rob, with Howard and Ken as flank riders, took the horses over to Tie: Siding and penned them in the load-' tog corrals there. Not a horse on the Goose Bar ranch but knew what, was happening. Next day; the horses were loaded.- Rob led them up the ramp one by] one, reassured them with his voice,, put them to their places.' Thqr were' sardihed in—head to toil, alternate­ ly,'tightly enough to support them Emd hold them Steady when toe train was moving. At- certain stations there would be long enough stops for the horses to be taken out, fed,1 watered, walked around. j Nell watched them go up the gang­way. Taggert, Highboy, Pepper, Hi­ dalgo, Cheyenne,'Tango, Injun, and a lot of others:' If things kad: been different between her and Rob—; perhaps she wouldn’t have felt so terribly. It seemed like an end of things. : Rob and Howard were dressed to Muejetow for the trip. When toe horses were loaded and the Mg doors closed, Rob came to stand beside her near the car. He was very qui­ et, almost distrait., There had been no Shouting. IRs thoughts .were all for toe horses—he hardly seemed aware of her there beside Mm. "I often wonder," he said'medi­ tatively, “if we should ever havO> anything to do with, animals or ever, do anything for -them. We- make; them helpless. Without us, they take care iff themselves so well, but when We have once taken.IchEttge of them they depend more (Md-more on us, and wtoit do we do' but harm to. them? . And yet they look at us so trustingly.” .Nell found no words to answer. She was wondering if in toe moment of goodby his hard MieU would crack. Would there be, when he put his arm around her and held her agidnSt him while, he kissed her, any reassurance, any ptomise, any warmth? s- Rob and Howard were to ride to the day coach next to the freight cars to WMch were the horses. WMfot they waited they . aU; stood near the steps of this car: The brakemen Were attending to the -tost business they had to the station.

Wonderlul, Counsellor, the Mlgbty God, qi* Everlast­ ing Father, the Prince at Peace.—Isslsb 8:8. Christmas is coming! It should be a blessed and delightful time this year. But do not fail to ask your­ self, What Js its true meaning? Why did Christ come? So'that we could feast tmd celebrate? Surely not.. He came first of all to be a SSviour; but do not forget that the Saviour, is also the King of kings. Wh®n Jesus came, His people Is­ rael'were practically without a gov­ ernment. They were a .subject peo­ ple under toe rule of Rome. Their national life was in ruins; dark­ ness had settled over their fond, ahd there was both national and spiritual darkness'. Christ cattie as their King, as well as the Light of..the world. True, they rejected Him, and His kingdom is now to abeyance until Hd comes again to reign. One of these days H^ will come! H Darkness—but the Light Is Com­ ing! (Isa. 9:2, 3). When Jesus came there was deep darkness in Israel; toere was no king. NationEd honor and glory were at low ebb. Religious leaders had lost their spiritual vision, and zeaL They, were going through toe form of godliness but denying its power. Read , toe book of Malachi for a picture of their desolation. Then Jesus came, and the great­ est Light of all time shone forth in the darkness. He was and is "the light of the world" ,(John 8:12). -'They that followed Him did not stumble in darkness (John 9:5; 11: 9). How- sad that they received Him -not (John 1:11)! The reason? They loved darkness rather than light (John 3:17-21). , There is much darkness in our world today. We need the liriit of Jesus in national-life, as well as to individual life. When will toe na­ tions of. the :earto recognize Hfan as the only-One who'can truly lead them through the darkness? Military leaders-, educators, and scientists are saying to our day that there must be a spiritual rebirth of toe peoples of toe. earth if we are not to have another war wMch will destroy evefyffitog. Nb mere re­ vival of “religion" wffl do it. We must have Jesus,’ toe Saviour and the Light! - / .- IL Chaos—but a Btog Is Com­ ing (Isa. 9:6, 7).-. * We have already suggested that Isaiah's prophecy came at a time .of chaos to the iiffairs of the nation. Woiild they ever haVe.thie order and dignify of a nation again? Who was ffibeffieirldnfirWMtkffiloflead* er would He' be? Our: Veroes' give toe answer.; ; - Seven hundred years before Christ came, the prophet presented ,a' glorr lous, detailed picture of thf coming One. He was to be borii as a Babe —a Son—but the "government shall be ;upon his shoulder.” -TWiat kind of King is He? His names reveal Him. _ - “WonderfuT’-^toat word has been so misused that it means compara­ tively little to iis. It really fulfills its true, meaning to Christ: He is Unique, remarkable, yes, truly wonderfeL "CoUnsellor"-inevery detailof^life, great or small, an' infallible Guide. "Mighty God”—not just like God, o f Xepresefattog God; Christ is God. “Everlasting Father”—thg tender and loving, unfailing One to whom time brtogs-no change, for He is toe ••Father of eternity.” “Prince of Peace”—He is not yet toe Ruler of the nations of the world, hence we hear not .only of wars but of rumors of wars. Mark it well that there will' be no enduring peace until He comes to reign whose right it is to reign, the divine Pnnce of Peace. . m . Jesns Christ—the Light and the King (Luke 1:28-33). If Christ is to be honored to toe life of any nation, yes, of our na­ tion, He must first be recognized as the Son of God, toe IEird of glory, the everlasting King of kings We need to emphasize that feet now when both military and politi­cal leaders are talking about the need of spiritual revival to save the world. Let us be sure that they mean more than just to-pay formal recog­ nition to a great man and a distin­ guished marah teacher. iHe is toe Saviour, and there is none 'other (Acts 4:12). Note toe'-marvelous fulfillment of prophecy wMch actually took place to toe coming'Gf' Jesus. Isaiah (7i 14) SEdd He: was to be/born of a virgin. He was (v. 27) I He was to be the Sonvof God (Ps. '2:7)./He. was (▼. 32)! And- so on through -all the - detailed prfaphecies of Hia'birth. We .celebrate the fulfillment of these, prophecies at Christmas time. Let us be reminded that there are hundreds of prophecies that He is to come agalh. Let us believe them, and look for Him. He is the-hope Cf: this poor world!

J r ite ttt Research A salesman representing a Arm of efficiency experts managed, several years ago, to gain admission to the office of a small- manufacturer, one who employed fewer than 200 peo­ ple. The solicitor made a sale. Hh induced, his--prospect to hire the services of the syfetem fixers who, - he promised, would show the owner how to save-a great deal'more of his factory’s annual'earnings. After contracting' for this rather high-priced advice, .the owner: of the business was impatient for results. He could hardly wait for the Iirst “expert’’ to come arid prune out needless expenses. Less work and more profit on the same volume al­ ways seems attractive. Finally came a polished man of 40 wearing spectacles with conspicuous rims 0D a chisel-shaped nose. , HeLikedAction The owner of the plant and his hired adviser walked solemnly to­ gether through offices and- shops. They were returning to the main of­ fice. when the expert’s eye fell upon an idle man—an old man, Sittinjg at a desk looking out a window. As soon as they , were out of ear-shot, the expert -exclaimed: • “That old fuddy-duddy is. a net. loss. Dis­ charge him! He is just sitting there dreaming.” » “Do you suppose he is dream- . ing?” inquired the owner of the fac­ tory. “Day-dreaming, to be sure,' replied the expert. “Well, that’s just fine,” said the owner. “Now we won’t be needing your Kelp. Eyery so often that'old chap has a day­ dream, and' the cheapest one he ever had brought this firm half a million dollars of new business. Don’t disturb him as you go out.” Ideas Have Life Creative work has its peculiarities. It takes place inside people’s heads, and superficial critics don’t look that- deep. 'First comes the germyof an -idea; then careful analysis. Since ho one person can know all about anything, research is necessary. Re­ search is costly too, because it must be carried on. by men who have special knowledge and special skills. Inventions don’t go into production direct from the dream stage. Man­ ufacturing profits begin when multi­ plied copies of ari -invention start coming off the assembly line, but mass production permits no guess­ work. The dream is necessary but numberless laboratory tests arid ex­ haustive practical experiments must pave every invention’s road to mar­ ket. Many a good idea has died un­ worked for lack of research—too cbstly. InereasetheTiMd In America' are many factories— geese able to lay golden eggs, such as .employment, prosperity - and progress. -The fertile 14-carat gan­ der in the flock is Beteereh. With­ out this motivating influence indus­ try may start its post-war program and pursue a- well-charted course, efficiently amputating cost after cost until there’s nothing left to cut off, but it’s the road to ruin. Not many weeks ago I read a scathing criticism of American busi­ ness. In it the author hoisted a red flag m warning against capitalism. He pointed to hundreds of thousands of dollars spent annually in industri­ al research by a mere handful Cf wealthy corporations, I have'-only this to say: I hope they, spent all1 he said and more, because the brightest spot in the outlook is re­ search, IFooI Dress Saves For Victory Bond D A V IE B R IC K COMPANY DEALERS IN GOOD COAL Day Phone 194 • Night Phone 119 Mocksville, N.'

O ; BLDGs f WINSTON-SALEM THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Like Their Sisters They Await Pay PRESIDENT'S MOffHER IS 93 WASHINGTON. — The President’s mother is 93 years old. It’s been a long 93 years of taking knocks and enjoying good times since her birth November 25, 1852. That was just two years after the famous Missouri compromise which historians claim contributed to the Civil war. In the years that have passed, the Jackson county farm where Martha Ellen Truman was born has become 33rd and Indiana avenue in Kansas City, while her son, whom she never expected to be President, now sits in the White Bouse. . Like her son, Mrs. Truman is a friendly person who likes company, Including newspaper reporters. And it it wasn’t for Ijeit maiden daughter, Miss Mary Jane Truman, who lives with her, and another son, who lives not far away, the President’s mother would be a mecca of news interest. But whenever her son and daughter see a reporter approaching, death lurks in Uieir eyes. The newsman is treated as a carrier of bubonic plague. If yon are fortunate enough to meet Mrs. Truman, however, yon can understand where her son gets his energy. Except for being slightly hard of hearing, she is exceptionally hearty. Her voice is crisp, her observations pointed, and she possesses a poise and calmness of spirit rare in women of her age. Iiike her son, who likes to get up early, Mrs. Truman is up with the dawn and about her household tasks. The house in Grandview, Mo., is a one-story affair, which enables her to get about without climbing stairs. A half-acre yard, enclosed by Wire, surrounds the house. Four rocking chairs are in the front room. HELPED HARRY’S CAMPAIGN. Mrs. Truman reads with interest, occasionally attends the Baptist church, knows everyone in Grand* view and until recently took an active part in the affairs of the com­ munity. Back in 1934 when she was a rela* tive youngster of only 82, Mrs. Tru­ man even took an active part in Harry’s campaign for the Democrat­ ic senatorial nomination, making frequent trips into Missouri counties visiting old friends in behalf of . her son. Then, during the last Presiden­ tial campaign, she opened'her home to women of Washington township communities and served as chair­ man of county group meetings for women party workers. When X1Tuman first was mentioned as vice presidential nomineee, his mother didn’t want him to be vice president. tfB atiy b doing a good Iob in the senate,” she said. "And he ought to stay there.” But listening to radio returns the night of the election, she switched chairs frequently and refused to go to bed until definite word of a Demo­ cratic victory was received. "If Harry doesn’t win,” she com­ mented then, “he won’t be dis­ graced. After all, it won’t loll him to lose.” Months later, when Traman was elevated to the Presidency by the death of the late Frank­ lin Roosevelt, she said: “I never thought Harry would be Presi­ dent some day, like most mothers think. I never thought he would be vice president—nor senator, for that matter. Bnt whatever he is—I’m for him.” A ndanyonewhohasevertalked with Mrs. Truman cannot deny that. Her eyes never fail to twinkle when someone mentions her son. Mrs. Truman has enjoyed good health since her recovery froip a fall in April, 19«, when she slipped on a rug and. suffered a broken left hip and left shoulder. When she at­ tends community activities she usu­ ally wears a black dress and hat, and a dark wool shoulderette to keep her warm. Secret service men who have found it difficult to keep up with the pace of President Truman undoubt­ edly will agree with her statement describing her son when she said: “He is no slow person. He gets where he’s going in short order.”j* • * CAPITAL CHAFF After flirting with various law firm offers, Franklin Roosevelt Jr., finally, decided to team up with New York’s ex-Lt. Gov.

H elosthis N i In AU in t. 'T'H E Federal Housing administra- . tion has just announced that it now has a hundred-million dollar bank balance. In addition, for the past-five years, this agency of gov­ ernment has been paying operating costs out of its own income. It has mortgage insurance of $6,700,000,000 on its books plus about $2,000,000 ,- OQO of insured loans on repairs and modernizing programs on existing homes. Your- Home Town Reporter tan remember back 11 years ago when the FHA entered the field of home financing. It was attacked by most of the men in private home financ­ ing as a "ridiculous and hairbrained proposal ^of long haired theorists,” and “was doomed to utter failure.” Its activities, however, are now accepted by lending institutions ev­ erywhere. Banks and other lenders are: now making home financing loans, some of them on more gen­ erous terms than even the FHA will make. Eleven years ago it was impossi­ ble, or at least very difficult, for a man of moderate means to own his own home. He had-to save up enough for at least 50jper cent of its value and had to go on mortgaging and remortgaging for three-year pe­ riods, at high interest rates. In some instances he paid as high as 8 per cent. FHA said to prospective home owners and-to private lending insti­ tutions alike, “you folks can own your own Homes by paying only 10 per cent down on new homes cost­ ing less than $6,000, and Uncle Sam will guarantee the bank against loss. You can make your payments in equal monthly installments for a period up to 25 years at interest of not more than 4% per cent. Loans for Farm Homtt After financing many thousands of home purchases, Raymond Fo­ ley, FHA director, says, “Because of the sound financial principles un­ derlying-the FHA program, its far- reaching benefits are proceeding without cost to the government.” Of great importance to rural res­ idents and those living in rural communities, the FHA has just re­cently announced that it is ex­ tending its guaranteed loan provi­ sions to the construction of country homes > and also the provisions of its Title I for the repair and mod­ ernization of existing homes and farm buildings. It seems to your, reporter that in. the face of the acute housing short­ age,- the tendency to throw away government restraints, the rapidly increasing prices on -speculative housing and other rfactors, that the . safest procedure a prospective ] home owner could take would be to j !go to his bank or building and I loan association and say he wanted !. to buy that home on an FHA in- ! sured mortgage. I He would be protected (I) against I any inflated appraisal of the prop- i erty; (2) against any shoddy con- I struction; (3) against costly second and third mortgages; (4) against costly mortgage renewals; (5) I against lapsing of taxes and insur- lance. I And his monthly payments would I be in reasonable preportion to his regular income, obviating insofar as possible, the chance of defaults in payment^ and consequent. foreclos­ ures resulting from over-borrowing. Veterans not. only have the advan- tage of this FHA loan, they also Can borrow up to $2,009 under the 6X bill for new home purchase, which is ilso guaranteed hy the govern­ ment through the Veterans’ admin. istration. For the first time since the war, FHA applications for guaranteed home loans are how running at the rate of approximately 1,000 per week. The trend in. new house con­ struction is to get out of the cities and into the country, and this pres­ ent housing emergency finds more than a million andi a half families living doubled up, according, to the National'Housing agency. ‘Back to Land’ Uovemtnt Those who are watching the acute housing shortage see a definite “back to the land” movement which will mean the construction of thou­ sands of new small homes in rural areas and in the-smaller towns of the nation. One-acre and half-acre {dots are the dream of thousand* in the massed population centers is the cities. Estimates of housing shortages reach the 12,000,OOOu mark and of this number approximately five mU- lion are in tife small towns and ru­ral areas throughout the nation. The war. brought about^mass migration of workers from the South And East into the West and IiCdwest and these next several peacetime years win see another mass migration of workers from the slum and crowd­ ed sections of our g»eat cities /into the breathing space of the rural sec­ tions. So pressure of these events to - come > m il m ate: housing one <d the critical issues is the future. C L A S S IF IE D DEPARTMENT I n is n F m i r n i r s _____ FREE.

Is it lunch time?” V In;- the warm kitchen Gus moved about efficiently' and set a cup of iot.: stroig tea on the red-checked tablecloth before- her,. some baked beans, well-flavored, topped with -crisp browned salt pork, and some of licr own bread, toasted on top-of the stove. Sitting opposite her, stirring his tea, , his. pale, blue eyes studied her thoughtfiilly. “You sick, Missus?” “No, Gus,” I Yougping tqrjde dis afternoon?” ' ’ “l dbn’t'kfe>\fr.” She looked at tile Iood before her and took her fork in . her . hand, then felt her stomach 6htiiik and close.

' “You don’t like de beans, Mis- susf” **i; like them, Gus, but I’m not ' She went upstairs again ’and slow­ ly tidied her room, with many pauses to stand at the window.. The bleak skies and the colorless world, looked back at her balefully. -BSter in the afternoon she put on beif/blacE woolen jodhpurS and her wa^Ot gray tweed jacket. A few ctrokes of the comb through her hair: drew: it back and she fastened it to a little bun, brushing her bang smooth and drew on her small black ,visored cap. As she picked up her felVlined gloves'and the red scarf forfher throat she suddenly wanted to.hurry and get out of that house. 1 Galloping along the county road, Gypsy pricked her ears and turned her head toward tha. Saddle Back, i “No, you don’t, old girl—we’re not going up there.” '. Gjrpsy whinnied, getting Qie wind Jrom the band of brood mares be­ yond the crest, but Neil pressed her spur against'her and held her in the fold. ' , . 1 ghe counted the time since Rob had;-left on Septonber tenth. It wasnearly a month, figuring four daV& for the trip to Pennsylvania, thed -a week.or ten days for the sale; Sifti two days for the trip back—that would have-brought-it to September twenty-sixth. - Where had he-be9&-.since.thenf Laramie, ap­ parently, jusi twenty-five miles awity. And’ hadn’t come home. Hadn't even written. And here it wa;s:the second week in October.' Reaching the bank of Deer Creek, Gypsy was belly deep in dried brown grass. She grunted softly and turned hefhead. toward the water. Nellsat relkxed ih.the saddle while the mare ,waded into the stream, her feet sink- infcdeep in, the softgravel, and the fr|kh and delicious smell of water an&damp earfh and autumn leaves w&ted up and made Nell wonder I why, now, everything that was sweet sent • sharp pain through her heart, i Long wheezing sucks came from Gypsy. Two magpleswere quarrel- Ing in a tree overhead. .Aiid A little Iwsiy off therew asfrantic yipping .from Kim as he chased a rabbit. I The cocker never yipped nor would he let a rabbit draw him into a Iu n ib n chase. He knew ln ad* ,vane* where the rabbit would go and Intercepted it. -' Nell lifted Gypsy's head, turned her.andthe mare scrambled*© the baid^ scattering water from her hoofs,and her mouth. And as she resumed lier canter, NeU resumed the argument Rdb .had been Jh Laramie about two vfeeks.and hadn't let her know. WhyT BMn’t hewant tosee her? The do gs had vanished complete­ ly. Oftenthey started out on a ride ,with_her, were led off by rabbits or';je*citing:8cents and. disappeared.;. Sfcewouldn’t see them * shegot home and found them pant-' |ng on the terrace. At the tiiought that Bob did not want to come home her mind spun around to his point ,.of viewi How was he thinking and feeling? Was he suffering too? Oh, I hope so, I hope so, for if be loves me he couldn’t help it. But does life? He could come to me, but»I couldn’t go to him. Or could I? She though? of herself driv­ing down to Larjunie, gojng about hunting for, her, husband—No. No! She tingled with’ shame. She .had to wait here, but how long? Yes—- how long? Until he decided to come back. She was entirely helpless; As these thoughts Chased each ott­ er through her mind, her body and her nerves were played upon as if by little whips. Alternately hot and cold—weak, or strengthened by a wave of pride. Again and again there went through her heart and stomach a rush of sinking empti­ ness, and each time she recovered from it as from a shock, slowly, and weakly; a difficult comeback. It was that which prevented her from eating, for it came often just as £ His eyes met hers for a split second. she had prepared food for herself ahd sat down, and looked at it. Sie Wondered at thobe mysterious physical activities, probably gov­ erned by the endocrine glands, which are, tiie reactions to violent emotions. What, really, was going on.in her body? Was it a sort of shell shock? Was it destroying her health and strengtti and youth? She could not bear to look at tiie'face that peered back at her'from , the mirror. In the timber ofr number sixteen the dogs appeared again, madly: chasing a rabbit. Up here the shad­ ed depressions amongst the trees held snow left from a recent storm. The rabbit was in the snow,- strug­ gling toward a pile of rocks and, Kim was bearing down on it, yipping hysterically.Nell drew rein and watched the chase, quieted by. a !feeling of fatal­ ism. -Whatr chance, did tiie rabbit have? It- was like her mind—dou­ bling akd dodging, trying to. find a hole in which to hide, or a path of escape, but comered’every time. The rabbit doubled on it^ tracks rand Kim,- who always went' too fast, shot past it. The 'rabbit was strug­ gling to reach the ropks. Nb doubt he had^a safe hideaway underneath theifi.' Would he make it? Kim was almost upon him, and again the rab­ bit turned and dodged, and again Kim shot past and hadto.brake and turn and in those few seconds the rabbit reached his haven, dut ah— Chaps was' there too. The canny black cocker emerged from ambush at-the last moment and seized his prey. And thenthe kill. The tiny squeals of the rabbit-rthe sharp nosings of the dogs—the sudden jerks of their heads and snappings of their jaws. _ No blame ,to them, thought Nell, as. she galloped toward them and called to them to stand' back. : Wag­ ging their tails proudly they stood off and looked up at her. They were panting,'- and: their long red tongues htmg, dripping, out of tiie sides of their mouths. . > Nell pieced up the big jack—it must have weighed six pounds—and asked Gypsy’s consent: to hang U on the saddle. Gypsy pricked her ears and drew in her .chin, snorting. •Nell offered it to her to smeO. Gypsy sniffed the rabbit gingerly, and after IhaV permitted Nell to fasten it to the saddle. * '• The dogs watched her, well satis- fled.

It made her shiver. If there was beauty' and life in Naiture, where had it gone? When Ihe skies were like -this they put a blight on the world, and on the human'souL !’ They galloped along,in the gatheiw ing darkness, the dead rabbit' thud­ding against the mare's side. Nell reached the Stables from the south pasture. She had expected Gus to .be watching for her, biit no one was there, not even the dogs. She fed Gypsy, unsaddled her and turned her out, ' She hung the dead rabbit in the meat house and walked slowly and unwillingly down through the gorge. Physically, she was near collapse, and she walked slowly and unsteadily. ' A ssheapproachedthehouseshe suddenly stopped walking. Lights, shone in all the windows and a row of cars stood behind it. .I * Vlt was one, of those uproarious gatherings which occur when town people descend on their country friends with all the “makings.” The house was bursting with food and drink, lights and roaring fires and human noise'-and movement. Bob had brdUght T-bone steaks. ~ Pota­ toes were already baking and Gene­ vieve Scott was just putting the fin­ ishing touches to two big pumpkin pies. When Nell stood in tiie kitchen door, dazed and almost unbelieving, and exclaimed, "Rob!” She wap promptly enveloped in a rowdy bear hug by her husband, and thereafter by Rodney Scott and Charley Sar­ gent. She was told'to sit-down and rest herself and let her guests do the cooking and\set the table. Mor­ ton Harris brought her an old- fashioned cocktail. There would be nothing for Nell to do, they assured her, but make her, famous dressing, for the lettuce. “And the mustard and coffee sauce for the -steaks!” exclaimed Rob. , , Gus was concocting tiie potent Swedish punch called glogg. “And I hope," said Bess Gifford, “that there’ll be room in the oven for these biscuits.” “And we’ll be ready to eat at about eight-thirty,” said Rob, “and until then there’s nothing to do but drink up and enjoy yourselfl” Nell ran upstairs to her room. Rob is home. He kissed me. He is here! This very night they ,would be together in this room and all would be explained and forgotten. That dreadftil loneliness—that desolation —it was all over. > Aii easy breathing lifted her breast and it was new and pleasant and free and a great change—as if, all these weeks, a painM thong had bound her lungs. She stood on the threshold ol their bedroom, "wondering if he had been there ,already, if there would be some sign, his coat thrown across the pillow, or his boots standing ar­ gumentatively in the middle of .the floor. Instead, she saw the bed piled high with feminine wraps. Of \course. The girls, and tiieir things. Well—it would all wait. Moving lightly and excitedly, she brushed and groomed and JEre^iened herself and ran downstairs again. Bob offered her another cocktail. .“How’s about another?” he. asked jovially. “You’ve got to batch up 4o the rest of us, you know.” . "Have you been here long?” She asked, raising her eyes to his at She took the glass. It was like, .speakihg to a-man She hardly knew hut was desperately in love with. - His eyes met hers for a-split sec­ond and then fell to the glass, he was handing her; “Oh, a couple inf hours!”' he said. ‘ "V “And I’m watching you make your salad dressing!” said Morton Har­ ris. “I’Ve got all the things out on this table for you!” Jh e radio was roaring. Bess Gif- fdrd a&d Charley Sargent were dano- ing inthe middle of the living room. 1 It seemed to Nell she was floating w the-suiface ot a river of sound' and sensation, ,that lifted her higher. and higher. Her bo<iy was warm and quick and pUant, tiie pupils of . her eyes, dilated, her laugh rippled. She sat at the head of tiie table and catved tiie' steaks, putting a lump of butter and mustard in each slice, and a dash of black coffee: 'and then spooning the gravy over the /m eat until all was blended. When, now'and.-then, tiie memory cf the afternpon-of all the daye gone before—came back to her, she put h et fork down, and leaned her head blck and wondered Jf she was delink—so unbearably sweet was the: pang of the present laid, against tin desolation of tiie past.

IS E MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS TO H E WORLD LESSON TEXT: Luke 2:1-1«. .GOLDEN TEXT: Gloty to God In Mhighest, and on earth peace, good will » wan) men.—Luke 2:14. . \ Christmas again! Yes, and it’s going to' be. a joyftd'Christmas this year, isn’t it? LefS not ^tibs a sin­ gle bit'of the joy and gladness of the season. Let’s observe all the precious customs and traditions. Let’s s^iare in the pleasantness and the laughter. Some may have to do it with a sense of sadness hidden in their hearts, but even they'will join us'in really keeping Christmas this year. But don't' forget to keep Christ in your Christmas this year as never before! We who know Him should realize how much tiie world needs Him. We should see in-the months - just ahead our greatest opportunity to make Him. known. , Our lesson topic is “The Message' of Christmas to the/World.” What is that message? Here it is; I. Make Room for Jesus! (w . 1-7), “It came to pass”—yes, it always does when God-has given His prom*.- ise. For seven centuries God had. said, “He is coming,” and then He came. God rules the affairs of this world even though thoughtless and unbelieving men not only grieve Him, but often defy Him. Jesus' came—but He came to a manger, “because there was no room for him in the inn.” Is it not the same today? There is no room for Him now in the hearts of most men. Is He wanted in our places of business, in our governmental of­ fices, in our social, gatherings? Remember, it was not because they : hated Him that there was no room. It was just that they were “preoccupied.” That is the trouble in men’s hearts today. They should have made room in the inn for Jesus even though everyone and every­ thing else.must be turned out, and we should make room fof'Him no matter what else or who else must go. They would have made room for Jesus had they known who He was. We do know, and yet we do not make room; Why . not? (Jer. 17:9; John 15:24; Rom. 8:7).” (John W. Bradbury).— That is the message of Christ­ mas! _ Make room in your heart, in your life 'and in your home for. Jesus! Ihen go quickly and . n . Tell Others About-Jesus! (w . 8- 12). The religious leaders slept soundly the night Jesus was born. They knew tfye prophecies of His coming, but they, were not looking for BQm. Perchance some Cf them slept in the very inn where He could not be received. But the shepherds were awake. They knew that' something unbeliev­ ably great had happened, for the heavens .were ablaze with celestial glory. c - At first they were afraid, but they were soon comforted by the words “Fear not”'HoWf characteristic that message is of the whole gospel tes­ timony. Fear .not, there is salva- tion; Je^us has come to seek and to save ,the lost. - -V - - . .. '■ ■ But be sure to note that such a message , is not just for one’s per­ sonal joy and encouragement; it is for “all people” (v. 10). The shep- herds realized that and the yerses following our' lesspn tell us 'that “theymade known” what they had seen (w . 17-20). How great that need is today! After, all these centuries since Jesus "came there are still multitudes of pehple on this eartiywho have never heard about our Saviour; There are children who would ordinarily have been in church and Sunday school who, because of the -- war, have, grown up in heathen darkness. Others, there are who-have heard but have' not responded, and we must go to them 'once more this Christmas .and tell them that “a Saviour, which is. Christ the Lord” Wfas .born in BetUehem.. - Make room.' for Jesus, and. then make Him known to others. That will lead you to ; ' In. Praise God for Jesus (w . 13- 14). J The angeIs could hardly wait with their praise;- “Suddenly” a multi­ tude cdt the heavenly host appeared, PFaising God for the blessed mes­ sage of peace and good wilt f . The Christian life is quite incom- plete and imbalanced if it does not include much praise. The Loid is worthy of a|l the praise qf- every believing heart tiiis Christmas Day! The writer of these notes extends 'to ycni the heartiest of good wishes a t;this glad Christmas season. He pleads Withj you if you are hot a Chri^iaii,'> make room for the Sa­ viour in your heart! Then, tet ufail make Him known ,everywhere, to the praise and glory of His name. .

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE Y E A R . IM A D V A N C E ! SDC M O N T H S IN A D V A N C E - WE VONDER WHY? For 46 years The Davie Record has been fighting the battles for the Republican party in Davie County. W e have been cussed from Cana to Ephesus, from Jeru­ salem to Jericho and throughout the entire county for fighting and woiking for the success of the Re­ publican party, not only in Davie, but throughout the State and Na­ tion. The Republican party has been in power in Davie for about 36 of these 46 years._ W hen the Republicans are in power in th e county The Record does die county printing, such as sales of land for taxes, the county exhibit and other advertising required by law. W hen the Democratic party has control of the county this work is given to the local Demo­ cratic paper. W e have never ask­ ed for the couiity printing when the county was under a Demo­ cratic administration and never will. The Record is not printing the county exhibit this year for the first time in ,46 years, when the Republicans had control of the county. W e wonder why? Mr. R. P. M artin is Chairihan of die Board of County Commiss­ ioners at this time. W e shall continue to work .and fight for the principles of the Re­ publican party—the party of Abe Lincoln, William McKinley -and Theodore Roosevelt. W e sue fight­ ing for what we believe to be for the best, interests of our country, regardless of personal reward. W e never have, and never will try to buy the good will of any m an or set of men, by underhand meth­ ods. For nearly 40 years we have lived and mingled with .the good people of Davie CGunty, sharing their joys and sorrows, - and have ytried to make it a better place in which to live. W e shall continue " to strive for the upbuilding of - our town and county. O ur paper will carry no wine or beer adver­ tising, and our columns are al­ ways open to the people to ex­ press their views- at all tunes, re­ gardless of party, or church affilia­ tions. N o other Davie County paper can make these statements. NO PAPER- NEXT WEEK As ha§ been our custom for the past 38 years, we wilT issue no pa­ per next week. . The editor, die; devil and our subscribers need one week in the year to rest and re­ lax. For the past 51 weeks we have worked early and late to give our readers-the best paper possible for the price. How well we have suc­ ceeded is left to our readers to decide. To all our subscribers, our ad­ vertisers and rural correspondents we wish to extend -our sincere thanks for your support during all- these years. W e could not print a paper without, your,; support. During the past year we have adi ded many new names to bur sub- Scriptionk' books*—more than-. ;in any recent year. The' best people in the world are among our sub­ scribers. To all of you, young and old, we wish a M erry' Christ mas suid a Happy ■ New Yean O ur next issue will appear oil January 2nd, 1946, die Lord will- jug, Whenyou come to town during the holidays drop In out office and see us.

EX ORE INFANTIUM FirstChristmm Tree of Christhind Christkind, whose name has been modified into Kriss Kringle, brings gifts and happiness to German chil­ dren at Christmas time. StvNicholas comes around, In Ger­ many, on his liturgical feast day— December 6—his pockets bulging with apples and nuts and trinkets, well and good: but, since the central Idea of Christmas concerns the birth of Christ, Christkind brings the Qiristmas tree and presents. ' Christkind is not the Infant Jesus himself, he is a messenger sent by the Holy Child. Once'upon a time a wood cutter and his family lived at the edge of ' Christmas trees have become a big business. Santa inspects supply. a great forest The family was very poor: nevertheless, when a strange child appeared before their hut one Christmas Eve he was hospitably re­ ceived and tucked into ths'warmest bed. ; The sound of heavenly voices awakened the household at mid­ night. Looking out of the'window, they saw the child they had har- > bored clad in radiance and sur­ rounded by a choir of angels. 1 Revealing his, identity, the child called attention to a Fir K ee which ' stood nearby resplendently decorat­ ed with lights and apples, silver nuts and threads of gold. “I am Christkmd," he said. "My emblem shall be this Fir Tree which shall bring Christmas happiness togood children.” H eath en M istleto e 1 The churches. have never sanc­ tioned the use of mistletoe in the decoration of a religious edifice be­ cause of its heathen origin.

And what did it feel tike to be Out of Heaven, and just like me? Didst Thou sometimes think of “there,” And ask where all the angels were?

And didst Thou play In Heaven with ail The angels, that were not too tall, With stars for marbles? Did the things Play “Can yon see me?” through their wings? Didst Thon kneel at night to pray, And didst Thon join'Thy hands, this way? And didst they tire sometimes, being young, And make the prayer seem very long? And dost Thou like it best, that we Should join our hands -to pray to Thee? I used to think, before I knew, The prayer not said nnless we do. And did Thy Mother at the night Kiss Thee, and fold the clothes In right? \ And didst Thou feel quite good In bed, Kissed, and sweet, and Thy prayers said? h u h'T'HOU canst not have forgotten all -*■ That it feels like to be small: And ^hou Icnow1St I cannot pray To Thee in my father’s way— When Thon wast so little, say, Couldst Thon talk Tby Father’stray?

What is there about thpse gay, dec­ orative greetings that makes millions of people compile long lists of friends and relatives with whom they want to share the Christmas spirit? It isn’t ancient tradition, because less than eighty years agotber.e were no Christrt ■mas cards in America.' The tremendous growth of tfefriOtidly-'custom* came in relatively recent years, as more and more'Christmas cards be­ gan to reflect emotional, real-life'rititations;'close to people’s hearts and homes. ’• .. H H I ' T OOK at the Christmas cards you receive this year. Nbtice-how-many of them are designed to capture something Of.ourfamily happiness At Christmas, when we are all at home or thinking about/those'far: away. The, family scene on the card in the center, above, will' be duplicated: Christmas morning in American, homes everywhere, and since it is so heartwarming a scone we select it too for our family Christmas7Cards and, thereby, ask all bur friends to share in it. ■ - HRISTMAS card designers look everywhere for the true-to-life things which bring the cards we receive right into the family circle.. We pass our village church every day in the year, but it never is more beautiful than on Christmas Eve. , So the church, too, becomes a Christmu card symbol. Church, home, family—the things we recognize at once, apd love always—these are what make a Christmas card. - ; - The Twelve Days OfChristmas “On the first day of-Christmas my true love sent to me J„ A partridge in a pear tree.” 7 According to the traditional carbl "The Twelve Days of Christmas,” a certain young lady received, from her true love, appropriate gifts on each day of the Christmas season. The young man proceeded cau­ tiously, at first: a partridge, two turtle doves, three French hens; not until the' eighth, ninth and tenth days, did he really plunge into the spirit, sending: “Eight maids a-milking, nine ladies danchig, ten lords a-leaping.” Epiphany brought . the- grand finale: “Twelve pipers piping, .,eleven drummers drumming, ten fords ,. a-leaping, nine ladies dancing, eight maids a-milking, . seven swans a-swimming, six '. geese a-foying, five gold rings, four eolly birds, three Freneb bens, two tur­ tle doves, and a partridge In a -pear-tree.” M anY S uperstitions Mistletoe V was-' connected with many superstitions of the ancient Gentians and the British Druids. The custom of kissing under the mis- tfotoe at Christmas 'is probably 'traceable to the high esteem in which the plant was held by the an­cients. Legend- has it that mistletoe was considered a remedy for epilepsy and.convulsions, but the plantseems to have no medical properties,. de- EDite its present use in ^ittany.

GAMBLE NationalDireetor1lWarFiliaiiee , Division, U. S. Treasury The Victory Loan, now under way, is the crucial test of our war finance program. We must not only raise the $11 billion required by the Treas­ ury but we must do it in such a man* ner as to avoid the danger of infla­ tion and to make secure the Peace for which over a quarter of a mil­ lion of our men haye given their lives. That is why we are asking for $4. billion from individuals, $2 billion' of it from the sale of Series E bonds. Why is this money needed? Brief­ ly, the reasons may be summarized as follows: to bring our veterans home and give them their mustering-out pay, to m aintain our armies of occupa­ tion, to take care of our sick and wound­ ed veterans, to make prompt set- -s,' 'bs?"- tlement of our can­s' i ' celled w ar con- tracts, and for oth- „ er necessary gov-Ted R. Gamble ernm ent expendi­ tures during the next few months. The Budget Bureau recently esti­ mated total Federal Expenditures for the 1946 fiscal year at $66.4 bil­ lion, or $33.7. billion below 1945. Re­ ceipts were estimated at $36 billion, but these may be reduced somewhat by the new tax bill. This leaves a deficit of $30.4 billion, which must be met by Treasiiry borrowing. It is in order to help meet this deficit that the Treasury decided on the Victory Loan, the last big public drive for funds. • As we enter this Victory Loan, I’d like to review briefly the accom­ plishments of our war financing pro­ gram. From May I, 1941, when the program started, to October I, 1945, we raised the huge sum of $207 bil­ lion. Furthermore, we raised this money through a plan of voluntary savings at the lowest interest cost of any nation engaged in the war, and' at the lowest selling expense ever recorded. In the first seven war loan drives, we set total quotas of $95 billion for all investors, and sold $135,749,000,- 000 in war loan bonds. Every loan was oversubscribed. Billions more were sold in the interim periods be­ tween drives. We have sold Qiese bonds to more than 85,000,000 Amer­ icans. By the time this loan is over, we will have sold one billion individ­ ual pieces of the popular Series E bonds alone. Where did this money come from? Our figures' show that individuals provided the Treasury with $49 bil­ lion net out of the $98 billion in new funds that has become available to them since May I, 1941—and most of the remainder went into cash sav­ ings Or commercial bank accounts. Insurance companies and- savings banka invested all of the , $22 billion in new ftptds tha$ they received. State-and local governments invest­ ed $5; billion of the $6 billion avail­ able. Private corporations had $39 Cillion of new funds from current surpluses and we obtained $28 bil­ lions of it. Most of the remainder was needed by' theim for expanded wartime operations. Federal agen­ cies and trust funds invested,.all of their $17 billion of new funds in gov­ ernment securities. In short, up to the end ot the Sev­ enth War Loan, non-bank investors provided the government with $121 billion net of the. $207 billion it had' to borrow since. May 1,1941, the bal­ ance of $85 billion being absorbed by commercial Federal Reserve banks, most of it In open market purchases. Except for the investment of a lim­ ited portion of their savings depos­ its, we have not permitted Uie banks to subscribe directly to war loan securities in the last five .war bond drives, nor in the . current Victory Loan. One of . the most significant ,.achievements of Our1 program is the widespread distribution of the public debt. Millions of people who never before saved a penay in their lives, now own savings bonds. It is esti­ mated that three-quarters of .the Series E bonds* sold to individuals were acquired by persons earning $5000 a-year or less. Today, indi­ viduals hold almost one-fourth of the. total Federal debt outstanding. An even larger proportion of Sie inter­ est paid out on this debt will go to individuals. Obviously, this will have a tremendous impact on post-, war purchasing power. Investing in Victory Bonds will build a second economy for tlie fu­ ture. We cannot afford to ishimp back into indifference and selfishness if we are to keep faith with those who have paid most dearly so that weXpuld live in a tree and peaceful world . We can and should buy Vic­ tory Bonds to the liinit of our ability if . for no other reason than to ex­ press our gratitude to our fighting men. They have done their job, and have done it well. It is tq> to us to finish ours, so that thejr may come back to the kind of an Aniedea they, dreamed; about—a tend of-opportu­ nity vith fall employment, full pro; duction and high income.
