No doubt the great majority of people have more or less time off from their work, and from ,the duties and responsibilities of life, which should be used wisely. This spare time can mean much indeed toward one’s success or failure in life. To spend the spare moments, minutes and hours foolishly, or in sin and wickedness,; certainly is unwise, Men go down largdy in life by giving* their spare time to die devil, or they succeed large ly by using their spare time for God and His cause. To hang around public places, tell foolish jokes, or laugh at fool ish jokes, or talk idly, or play idle games, or spend one's nickles and dimes for things that are unneces sary, or gad about, or tead cheap novels and trashy literature, or en gage in something that is down- pulling father than uplifting, cer tainly doesn’tm ake for success. Kather it makes for defeat, even on a large scale. Menshould re gard their lives and their time very highly. As a boy growing up' I remem ber how boys and men in my community would gather in die stores on rainy days, or cold, bad days, and especially in Winter, and spend their valuable time in idle ness and foolishness. Days, weeks and months W re spent in this way by numbers o f people. Not one of diem ever accomplished anything good, great, commend able and worth while that I know of, espedally as long as they kapt this up. - ' Spare time should not be given to the devil. He wiQ always use it against one’s life and soul, and against the lives and souls of oth ers. In feet no time at all diould be given to the devil. God*fgives us Pur time^ and certainly none of it should begiven over to die enemy; of our souls; God would have us use our time in such st way that it counts for something good and worth while. We have no time to loiter away, or idle a- way, or simply waste. It is wise to !engage in diat which will uplift and bless us. and will uplift and bless our fel- lowmen. There is so much good we can do until we should . feel that we have no time to spend on anything that is bad. Why not tead God’s holy Word, pray, read die very best books, literatute and publications and write something good, or look for opportunities of doing good, thus rising and dU b- ing heavenward? Use your spare time wisely, also- all. your time' You won’t regret it. Send Them Home The War Dqsardnent Bureau announces that prisoners of war will be withdrawn front military wotk by Iaat of M uch.

Another winter-and we’ll be; reminded that the road work should have been done when the; weather—and the. roads—were good.

Joy' ner, 232 Inibntry Regiment of die 42nd nRainbowiV Division, son of S. D. Joyner, MocksviHe, N. C. has just returned from a furlough toRome. While in Italy’s capitol he stay ed at the G.

Inductedintodie army August 25,. 1944, Private Joyner was trans ferred overseas in January, 1945, and assigned to the 42nd Division then in France. He participated in the “Rainbow’s” 450 mile drive, which started from the Hardt Mountains of France and captur ed Wurzburg and Schweinfurt be fore grinding to a halt at die Aus trian border on V'E day. As a civilian Private Joyner at tended Harmony High School in Harmony, N. C. Later he work ed on the farm of his ^ unde, J; W. Joyner. His organization, the 42nd Di vision, is now a part of General Mark W. Clark’s Uuited ' States Forces in Austria. Mfllioos For Roads Commissioners and department officials of die State Highway commission at Raleigh believe that die $93,000,000 highway pro gram planned by the state isn’t go to satisfy all the demand for im provement of Nordi Carolina’s main and seconday highways. Highway experts find that the $93,000,000 earmarked for high way construction and repairs will go about as far as $50,000,000 be fore the war, due to die increased cost of material ^ and labor. An other hitch in the campaign for better roads is the fact that all of die money set aside for the work won’t be forthcoming until July 1949. A bond issue like that of 1921' 27 to finance work on die high' way construction has already'been set aside during the war years. The stateneeds not go into debt, again if North Carolina acts wise ly, officials report. Highway work was gready cur tailed during tbe war. Today finds about 30 per ‘cent of die state’s 11,400 miles of main high ways in need of improvement, CUef Engineer W. Vance Baise says. AboutfiO per cent of die 49,000 -odd miles o f secondary roads need improvement. And on top of that; die state wants to build with federal assis tance, 736 miles of interregional highways. ^ Credit For “The Forgot* ten Man” Matv persons suppose that it was Franklin Delanii Roosevelt who invented “ the forgotten man," but the credit actually belongs to Wil liiam Graham Summer, who as far back as 1 8 8 3 penned the words: “ Who is the forgotten manf - Heis the dean, quiet, virtuous, domestic citizen who pays bis debts and his taxes and-is never heard'out of bis Httle„circle,” Says the Washington (D.

Curley, who was president of tbe now defnnct Engiueers .'group, has served'as mavoi of Boston four times, as governor of Massachusetts and a member of the House of Re presentatives at Washington. Be cause of his ability to poll that hoavy Catholic vote, in Boston and Massachusetts, the New‘. Dealers used him as a candidate for these various posts.

Golden- crusted muffins or fluffy biscuits are the perfect accompaniment to meat and salads and go equally well with a glass of-milk for a snack or with coffee or tea for breakfast. Don’t shy away from making muffins because you fear only fair results. Quick breads are the most easily mixed of all baked goods , and you heed to bear in mind only'a few simple rules to have success. The most important point to re member is not to “over-mix.” Muffin batter, for example, should be “bumpy” — stirred only until the dry ingredients are dampened by the liquid. Biscuits should not be worked to death—they will be far more flaky and tender-if the cook is not too ambitious.

Cream shortening and .add sugar. Lynn Says: >• Here are tips on egg cookery: Beads on a meringue come from too much sugar. Frothy meringue comes from too little sugar. Two tablespoons of sugar to one egg white is a good rule to foUow. Eggs keep better if they are not washed .before refrigerating. Never place meringue on a hot pie filling. It will form syrup be tween filling and. meringue and “skid.” Pile the. meringue in the center of -the pie mid anchor to the .crust on the .edges - after spreading. ■ To open eggs evenly, without- breaking the shell, crack. with- a knife that is not too sharp.- The volume of the egg white may be increased slightly when 1% teaspoons.of water are added: to white- before whipping. This applies particularly if the eggs are not as fresh as possible. Lynn Chambers’ Menus. Calves’ Liver with.

Perfect biscuits are light and fluffed, fairly straight and even ; on the sides,. level on' top, well shaped' and regular. Their ten-' der crust is golden brown and rather smooth. When broken open, they show a creamy white, fluffy crumb which is even and fine-grained; Over-mixing; or too,long kneading Of the dough makes biscuits tough with a pale crust. Speed and Ugbt handling are essential for flakiness. Under-mixing, on the other hand, causes lack of flakiness in' biscuits. These biscuits "also lack In vol ume. The fat needs to be weU dis. tributed for a flaky texture.. The proportions for plain biscuit are as follows: 2 cups of- flour, 2 teaspoons bak- H ing powder, % “®l IiBiDDlliH teaspoon salt,' 5 tablespoons short ening and 14 cup milk. The dry in gredients are ___________m ixed;-the fat cut in, and enough milk added to make the dough.

Freezing Army Points - - This office has received many let ters asking whether or not once men, get-overseas their accumulation of, discharge points stops. The an swer from the war department; invariably has been that men con-; tinue to earn discharge points so- long as they are in service. -I This question was brought to a> head recently when Secretary of! War Robert P. Patterson was sur-j prised when informed by the army newspaper, Stars and Stripes, that, point scoring stopped September . 2.; The war department now declares that both are right Men in service do continue to earn discharge points for their record for use when and, if a new freezing date is established.! They point out that the first freeze! date was May 12 when the total for-, discharge was 85 .points. A new] freeze date was established tor Sep-' temher 2 when'the discharge point: total was 70. However, smce Sep*! tember 2 , the war department has , reduced the point score to. 50, or 20, points, down, which is more than the. veteran would accumulate in the' four-month period. In other words,' while the veteran total is figured at the number of-points he had accu mulated up to September 2,. 1945, his point total had been lowered, since that date from 70-to 50, mak-| ing all who had 50 points on Sep tember 2 eligible for discharge.

AIarge fire was built and arrangements were being made for die meeting when the litttc weather prophet came out of his home and walked up to the big fire. The meeting was called to order and die hog called on to make a speech. He said he was very happy to be with us again.' He said many things had happen' ed since the last meeting; with the war over and many of the boys home we should all be happy, es pecially when all get home. Said he wanted to congratulate die far mers who had done a wonderful job in producing food for our fight ing boys and our allies. The meeting was opened with a round-table discussion on what the farmers wanted for 1946. The good roads came up for some warm speeches by the committee. Some said their children had been out of school for a month on ac count of the roads being so bac the buses couldn’t run. They all agreed that something must be done to our badly run down roads. When, our schools were closed, the teachers, who are not paid enough for their work, were not drawing any checks. It was agreed that it wasn’t any use to save at the spigot and waste at die bung'hole. TheIitdeprophet then looked around and saw his shadow and iemarked that he was going back In Ids hole for 40 days, and then he would be back and do his best about the weather. He said to hope for the best but prepare for die worst. Respectfully submitted, GROUNDHOG COMMITTEE. W. L. Gaither, Chairman.

Senators get five Bttin- 1Btes with him. Congressmen get from 5 to 15 minutes. Cabinet mem bers frequently get only 15 minutes. So recently eyebrows went up when the White House bulletin board listed OPAdministrstor Ches ter Bowles for a full hour with President Truman. Observers knew that the heat was on to increase the price of steel, and sell to in flation’s No. I enemy on giving the aation its first big inflationary shot In the arm.When Bowles entered- the Presi dent’s office, the . die was already sast. Truman had decided that steel prices were going up. His fob was to sell the idea to Bowles. Truman himself had been sold by his old friend, Reconversion Czar John Snyder of St. Louis,, who in turn had been wined and dined by the eteel people in Pittsburgh. Chester Bowles also had talked With big steel leaders. His talks were far more energetic, more per suasive than Snyder’s. Bowles once tan one of th£ best advertising firms in the nation, is an excel lent salesman. AU his salesmanship was turned on big steel leaders. “Ton are going to have a bigger margin of profit; than yon realise,” he told them. "Ton are now working 14 boors in the mills and 52 hairs 'in your eap- ' tive mines. When yon drop to 40 bourn, yon win net a big saving In overtime. Dke price of scrap iron is now at ceiling. It will drop in the spring, which means - more saving. Production pev man went up to IO per cent after the last war. It will do theVsame after this war, which will Isave you 100 milUon dollars alone. Sou can’t teU what yonr profits will be. !So why not try out a netf increased wage scale without a sharp price bike? Try it ont for ' six months—then come hack and we’tl examine the whole ques tion again. If you need a price increase then we’U give it to you.” Bowles is a persuasive talker. He has more charm than any Washing-: tonian since Franklin Roosevelt. But he made no impression. “After the last war, steel wages, soared even without union pres sure,” Bowles summarized. “So did prices. And once1 inflation gets go.’ ing, you’ll have labor coming Jiack until they get, not a 30 pef cent Increase in wages, but 50 per cent or even 75 per cent. You can’t teD where this thing will stop.” . EUROPEAN REFUGEES Some of Jimmy Byrnes’ expediters have really pepped up old-line state department diplomats when it comes to admitting European refu gees. When President Tnunan first pro- posed filling unused U. S. immigration quotas by admitting homeless refugees from Europe, state depart ment diplomats said they had neither iunds, nor the personnel—nor per haps even the disposition. However, some of theSouth Carolina blood which Byrnes has injected into the state de partment (men who drink coca- cola instead of tea) decided that Presidential orders should not be kissed oil so airily. Though no money was available, they. finaUy went to the bureau of the budget and squeezed out enough cash money to hire new consular personnel. Already they have start ed flying supplies to Europe to set up special offices to screen refugees and give them visas. Old-line diplomats are leaning back in amazement. They harve nev er seen so much speed .before. THE MERRt-GO-ROVND Last spring the department ot agriculture* quietly agreed to ad vance France 750,000 tons of sugar from the Cuban crop. French colo nial crops at that time were down to practically nothing and even what we loaned Oie French permitted a per capita consumption of only 22 ■ pounds annually, compared to our 64. This friendly move, is paying, off now, however; because under the terms of the agreement, practical ly the entire French West Indies crop for this year comes to us. It is somewhat larger than was antici pated, and current estimates are that we wiU receive about 900,000 tons. . . Henry Morgenthau’s boo on Germany, which appeared last fall, is not the only book the for mer secretary of the treasury will write. During his -12 years of close , association with President Roose velt, Morgentbau made painstaking notes on every conversation he $ad with FDR — and except for Harry Hopkins he probably had /nore than any other cabinet officer/' CAPITAL CHAFF The radio time for Senator Taft’a attack on Truman’s address to the nation was reserved Mr him by the Republican national committee. . . .

T., have their first picture taken while frolicking in their stall» The young ones were reported "dott* very nicely.” - • ■ ITEW would ever have thought, • " few years ago, that the time would come when pro golfers would head the pack at the pay-check window. But this strange event has taken place. Byron Nelson finished 1945 Kyohd the $60,000 marfewhile Ho- jan, McSpaden and . Snead were somewhere in the neighborhood , of (25,000 and $30,000. . _ I doubt there was: any $25,000 b9ll player last season. Hahk Greenberg came back at his . old salary around . $55,boo, but Hank only played half the campaign. DlMag- gio, • another high-, . priced star, didn’t get in at all SucJt stars aa Marty Ma rion and the Cooper 'Brothers . were In the $13,000 class. I don’t know how much Hal Newhoua- er and Dizzy Trout pulled-in, but I’doubt that it was Over $25,000, if . that much. But there washo ball player who made anything like the amount By ron Nelson made from competition, and this doesn’t include his income from other sources. , v Few professional football players draw as much as $5,000 a season. Before the new league barged in ,anything from $250 to $300 a gam* was good pay for all except such outstanding stars as' Sammy Baugh, Sid Luckman and Don Hutson. Players W ill Profit It will, of course, be different with the new AU-America Conference league shopping in the market.'The arrival, of the new league will be totigh on th’e bank accounts of dub owners in botft circuits, but it will be a big financial harvest to the football players—-for a while; any way. For example, I know of two or three stars now under contract to the new league who in addition to healthy bonuses are to get $10,000 a year. And Paul Brown, the ex-Ohio State coach now with Cleveland, has a long-time contract at $25,000 a year. But Paul Is a coach, qot a competitor.f There will be no pro football player making one-fourth of what Byron Nelson gets. In the two major baseball leagues the average pay'is from $7,000 to $8,000.' So far as Uie stars go there M l be a big jump next spring when Greenberg, DiMaggio, Gordon, Dick ey, Wakefield and a few others will get from $20,000 to $55,000. Big league payrolls wiU be far difierent in 1946 than they were in 1945 where all attendance records were broken with rather cheap casts. The, Big Fight There will be one major exception far as pay checks go. This takes ji Joe Louis and BiUy Conn. Louis blocks over 37% per cent of some thing better than a million dollar gate,.including aU the side lines. The Louis share will pass the $500,000 mark but when-the keen; ea^er .and alert tax .collectors get after, him, this amount will drop to1 less than $50,000; % -V:: V Conn !Hs supposed to get \2Vt per cent of this' all-time record gate, but he will do better than all right. Conn WiU at least move up into the $200,- 300 bracket: Ifthe returns from mo tion pictures and television reachthe figure many think (bey wiU, these amounts wiU. be heavily increased. -But what good will that ilo when one collides .with an 80 or possibly 90 per cent tax assessment? : Louis is supposed to owe the government $117,000 for baekt taxes, not Includ ing, a substantial amount he alsai own Mike Jacobs. Joe will be lucky If he ever gets even again. Conn also owes quite a chunk, and will also be !struggling to get even and square with the world.- . So don’t waste too much envy 00 Louis and -Conn. Some Jockeys Get Rich Whn it comes down to the big money-makers we/still have to fig ure'in-jockeys such as Eddie Ar- caro and. Ted Atkinson;. to mention only a pair. Both musthave passed the $75,000 mark this year. There are others whb are beyond the $40,- (X)O mark with their 10 .per cent from big stakes. And;what about Arnold 1Kirklandt the contract rider'for the Maine-Chaiice stable, with .more than $550,000 piled up in purses? ‘ .,..They1U tell you the basebaQ play er lasts longest in professional sport ^ ,when I think of Ken Strong, Ar- nold‘Herber aiid Mel Hein with their total of 57-years in footbaU—or Sam- £m£ Baugh and Don Hutson and oth ers who- have been doing well enough .after .10 or 12, years, I begin to mnder..

Exchange of Students ' To Prom ote Good WQl /TH E state department has a plan^. : I row embodied in a bill before 'the- congress, which may do more than' all of our diplomats to bring !about good will and understanding !between the peoples of our nation land other nations of the world. The idea is simple and merely !provides for the bringing together iface-fo-face of as many as possible ',of the folks fr om the home towns of {other nations with those of the home {towns of our own country. The jplan provides for the reciprocal exchange of students, teachers, scien* Itific specialists -and leaders in-lit erature, the arts, agriculture, labor land business, for mutual study and !understanding of our national life, jour manner of living and doing [business, at first hand. There would !be no propaganda, no half truths !gained from colored movies or !news, just a method by which these {folks can see the United States iand its people as we really are. [They would see our faults and our virtues, a full,.. rounded - picture iwhich the state department believes [will pay rich dividends in a better !understanding of America and the 'other peoples of the world. •They Leant How We Dq It i This program is under Hie fliri* jsion of ctdtural relations of the !state department which is now a {co-ordinating agency for .26 depart* |menfs and bureaus. It has a pro? gram arranged for this, flow of ex. perts and special information to and from other nations on such subjects as AmericEii methods of soil con servation, rural electrification, pub* lie health safeguards, child care and adult education. In addition, pro vision is made for the training of these people in the functioning of our own state and federal govern- jments . . . how we operate . . . how our schools and colleges and univer sities are run. The whole program is to be worked out co-operatively, with other governments to share the responsibility and costs. Credit for this idea is given to William Benton, assistant secretary of state in charge of public affairs, who, by the way, was a partner of OPA’s Chester Aiwles in the advertising business. Benton declares there is no sub. stitute for face-to-face contact to bring about proper understanding, and declares that the future nation al security of the nation -is directly concerned in seeking the friendship of peoples and their understanding of our own people. and- our free society. He maintains that govern ments have weather vane charae* tenstics and that it is the peoples of the world, not governments, in whom we must put our trust for our future security. Expect 20,000 by 1047 The program has already been tested on a small scale and some 400 persons from the Latin Amer ican republics have taken advan tage of this reciprocal program to come jhere and study America and American methods and in turn we have sent a similar number to those countries. The department expects some 10,-000 foreign students to take advantage of the program this year and expects at least 20,000 in 1947. The state department fears- that in most foreign countries a wrong and. harmful impression x>I the Unit ed States has been brought about by gangster movies, by pic,tores and stories of lush, luxurious living here, and the sketchy information- given in foreign newspapers. ■ Included in*the bill, which would grye. the state department the nec essary legislative authority for:its world-wide program, in addition to the exchange of persons, are provisions to: — ' Maintain and sendee American li braries in 60 countries; send out a daily radio report to carry full texts of important official announcements to our diplomatic missions; a docu mentary service'to supply diplomat ic offices with background material, biographical sketches and informa tion about life in America; photo ex- hibits, displays and film strips for non-commercial'use in foreign-coun tries; continuation of the publication of the bi-monthly magazine "Amer ica" started by OWI during the war; production in foreign languages of news reels about the-United States; and operation of a short-wave broad- casting station }o cover the world. - We May Be Feetred, Hated l^he United States has emerged from the war as the world’s' most powerful, nation, and strong nations too- readily -become hated and feared. Hence, this program of the state department will ’attempt to eliminate this fear and to correct ,some distorted impressions of us. ! The entire program was adopted lunder orders of Fresident Truman (to “build in. the hearts and minds [of foreign, peoples everywhere a .frill ;and fair picture of American life-and of the Dolirtes of the government.".

His muscles flowed smoothly under his satin coat as he leisurely circled his little band of stolen mares, bunched and froze them, then trotted out in front. The two stallions faced each other about a .hundred yards apart, mo tionless as -statues. The Albino -moved forward a little, then stopped. He did this again. Thunderhead stood without a quiver, his head high, his weight forward, his hind legs stretched back.. Ken suddenly thrust the nose-bag into Howard’s hands. “Hold that! They’re, gonna fight! I’ve got to get him!”He ran to Thunderhead, calling his name. Thunderhead did not even twitch an ear in his-direction. He was watching the Albino with a.mi nute; comprehensive stare that penetrated the body end timed the nerve Rises.Ken seized the dangling halter rope and flung his weight on it. “Come, away! Gome away, Thun derhead!”. He hauled with aU his power, try ing to break the stallion’s fixation, but he might as -well have tried to move a rock.- The stallion stared over him, immobile.. The b o y burst out crying and struck at the stallion’s head, jerking to and fro with all his weight. “Oh,, stop it, Thunderhead! .Please, Thun derhead! Come away!”Howard dropped the nose-bag, rushed to his brother’s side and seized the halter. .Ken’S voice reached Thunderhead dimly but he made no response, This was his world, his. inheritance. Ken had no part in it. But how to become master of it? Only by the destruction of that which barred his way. ■Rearing backward, he shook loose, knocking Howard down and snap- ping Ken aside with a whlp-lash of his head. Then, screaming his chal lenge, he hurtled forward as from a spring-board.At the same instant the Albino lushed - t o meet'him and both animals stopped short about thirty feet apart and stood tensely eyeing each other; These were two antagonists who had--met before and had not forgotten the event. ■ Mingled with Thunderhead’s de sire to annihilate this obstacle bee tore him was the satisfaction of. an intense curiosity. Here at last was the great being who had overshad owed his whde life, the image of whom had hung In his blood as per sistently and as challengingty as the snow scent bung in the mountain- wind; ■But the Albino was. confused. His feet shifted nervously as if taking firmer hold of the earth. His reach ing nostrils expanded and: contract- ed slowly. In his sunken eye-sockets his white-ringed eyes stared and meditated, seeing there before him, m u sB iF i Hisownsuperbandin-: vincible youth] Hewastherel He was here! ’ But the strength was as one.'-It flowed like a current be tween them as Jf it were already creating a third horse that appeared in a misty globe between them, and In Mdch they, were both fused. ’ Feww and fire and glory rushed’ through the old stallion and he tram-: eeted with ecstasy at this tfsawnu- tatign of himself* into the shining magnificence of that risipn. ’■ ' He- rushed -forward..

But’ Thunderhead locked his forelegs, around the Albino’s neck and pressed close into those grind ing jaWS. ^ . The horses staggered like wres^ tiers, Thunderhead forcing the A t bino backwards, - Then he loosed the grip of his forelegs and began to. use them for attack,.flailing with his hoofs on the back of the Alblno, raking the flesh from the bohes-and striving, to land a crippling blow‘on the kidneys. For an instant Ihe massive, jaws crunching down on TtiuhderheadV jugular vein relaxed,'he tore loose, both horses'wheeled, plunged away, then Whirled to eyeeach other again and to get their wind and’their b at ance for the next charge. " ■' There. Was a jagged bleeding gash to Thunderhead’s throat. . The A t Mno was laced with pulsing .crifn- The AIMno drew first Meed. son streams. -The unnatural expan sion of his nostrils -showed the ber ginning of exhaustion.. Again,* as it animated by a-.rtngle will, the stallions Charged each-oth er with heads high and stiff, lifted tails. Meeting, .rising, swerving, sinking with indescribable coiling grace—not one -motion lost—they turned their heads sideways with bared reaching - teeth and thrust them forward and. under to seize the foreleg. Each blocked this maneuver Clev erly; they braced themselves against each other with locked, straining -necks, and swung-back flrst-one -and then the other-foreleg out of-.reach of the darting, snake-like heads. But Thunderiiead was as quick as a> rat tier. His muzzle thrust to and caught the Iowert leg of the Albino before he could - withdraw it. and fractured the bone with - a single twisting crunch of the jaws. . The Albino gave no sign- The mo ment Thunderiiead loosed his hold, the older horse rose to his - full height. One foreleg dangled useless, but he still had. that mighty right hoof with which he had nearly killed the colt two yeaTS ago. . The same Mow would do it now. . Thunderhead too was-on his hind lpgs, feinting as if-to strike. But he saw -the blow coming.: -In . mid-air he whirled,- dropped his head and’ lashed out with his heels. . As the Albino'* came down-with: his killing, stroke, his face received the full impact of . those - terrible hoofs, and both Cheeks-Were ripped up so that the skeleton of his head was bared. The Albino's-one good foreleg hit the earth with n crashing jar; Thrown off balance by failure to land his blow, and the murderous kick,'he sank to. his knees; Before he could recover Thunderhead. had spun around. HiS right hoof Shot out in one pawing*stroke which crushed the bony structure , of the old stal lion’s head-and SUced off the lower part ot his face. Blood spouted- from the total wound,:: mingled with the Choking and bubbling breath.

Instruction, training and culture, sometimes calling for the touch of judgment or punishment, that , the lesson may be rightly learned—this :is the meaning of discipline. It is a good word and, Speaks of that wMch is much needed in a dis ordered and dissolute world. " Our lesson tells of God’s plan for the discipline of the people: of Is rael in preparation for their entry* into the Promised Land. They were ,not ready when Gbd first brought -them up to it; but through hard and trying experiences' they .learned,’ They did not believe-God, so they had to learn the hard way. One wonders whether we will be wiser than they. America is now in the awful grasp of s'postwar wave of careless living, of moral disinte-: gration and of awful dissipation. Al coholic. liquors flow in an: un controlled flood of... destruction. Where is the' moral fiber that.'made America great? I.- There is a Limit to ’ God’s Patience (w: 11, 12). The background of our lesson is the report o t the spies who were sent up into the land. All agreed that it was a good land, but 10 ot them were afraid of its inhabitants. Two of them, Joshua and Caleb, urged the people to take God at hi? word and go up to possess the land. But the.pepple rebelled and wanted to turn back to the fleshpots of Egypt. God had been patient with the people, . but the time had come when, further patience ceased to be a virtue and would only be indul gence. Then judgment came—and fast! There is a limit to God’s -patience with a sinful people. It is almost heartbreaking to think of the pos sibility that America may. all too soon press its downward course to the point where God says,' It is hnough. U. There is Power In Intercessory Prayer (w . 13-19). Moses stepped into the breach -and made a mighty and moving plea for his people. He knew the power of intercession' and called on God for- mercy upon the people. -He pointed out that the honor of the Lord was involved in bringing His people into the land. He recognized the guilt of the older members a t .the nation but asked for another ,chance for the children. He based his prayer on the known qualities of God, his justice and, above all, his mercy. . Does not this strongly suggest thr : importance „of Christian people ■ making their,influence count to the solution of social. prqblema? Pray er accomplishes more than thir -world has ever conceived to be pos sible. Praying people count with God, and hence they count in the affairs of men. : More Christian people ought to- be deeply concerned about o p e .country’s liquor problem, and all the physical, moral, social, political and spiritual ills which are caused by drink. HI. There is- Punishment (or U if belief (w . 20-23). - The pardon of God for the people as a whole did not .overlook or wildc at the awful unbelief of those who had rebelled against God. He had-not IeR them without a strong basis for faith in him. Again and again he had made known his might in miraculous deliverances during their days of travel from Egypt. But they simply hardened their hearts in unbelief. Lack of faith in God is no little offense against him. He has a right to our unquestioning belief -and im mediate., obedience. Somehow we have come to regard it as a spe cial favor toward God if we believe :bim-„ when the fact is: that unbelief in. such a Sod is definitely and ofr viously sin. • -- IV.-There Is a Reward for Conr .ageous Living (v.24). God is looking, for men of faith. AU through . Scripture we find the Lord coming magnificently to- the help, and Messing : of the one whf ajll believe him. Cftleb and Joshua were brought into the land, preserved through- all of Israel’s : wandering,- and kept in vigor even to old- age in order te enjoy the promised- possession (see Josh. l:6fl; 14:10-12). Caleb is- an example of what courage, faith, self-control—yes, dis. cipline, can do for a man. We need men and women—yes, -young men- and women with tbe spirit of Caleb.- Social customs of our day enCour-. age self-mdulgence. Drirtdng is on the increase.

New-born pigs, foals, and lambs very frequently die from lockjav because the raw navel stump contacts this deadly germ in soiled bedding or con taminated earth. Heavy losses from ' tetanus also follow the common farm operations of castrating and docking. The poison of the lockjaw germ, af- feets the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

Sober Thought Authority and alcohol influence the deeds of mortal man in ways that are strikingly similar. Apparently they both call for mors from the very first taste. Toomuch of either goes to people’s heads in a manner that Is Ughljr unbecoming. Both have a tendency to retard productive ac tivity Mid both are enemies of straight thinking; . No wonder des pots so often are called power-drunk. Not lone ago I heard a story .about * drunken an with a new car. It probably was not' true but ‘ it was thought provoking, In an effort to back out of his home garage, so the story goes, he pushed over a neigh bor's fence and sank nails in three tires. Usingan axetbdisengagethe debris he bashed in a fender until it pressed against his only remaining tire that held air. WantedMorePower' Unable to make the maimed car run, the inebriate got under it with a wrench and flattened the gasoline line so the engine could get almost no fuel; also emptied the brake fluid on the ground. Finally he lost his temper and assaulted the body with a jdck until It was no longer a closed ear. Alter that he orated loudly and eloquently on the mistakes of the en gineer who designed it; Bow like this story is the history of our country for the lasfrdecade. In stead of doing things to improve productive activity, men of authority viewed ,everything successful with suspicion and orated on its faults. Well established principles of good business were disregarded. ‘ RadUcal ideas were Used, like holding, land out of production to raise farm prices. > Weric With An Aze Shortening crops raised prices, to be sure, 'but it made men idle, as well as land. The landowners got compensation from ,the national treasury for crops they did'not raise and idle workers stood in line for dole. To meet the resulting heavy expenses, corporation taxes grew so heavy that they discouraged invest ments, further retarding productive activity. With jobs scarce and poorly paid, people on government relief rolls fared better than many who persist ed in trying to earn an honestliving by honorable work. This , automat ically discouraged thrift and efficien cy. It retarded the - accumulation of personal ywalth-and hindered the starting of new, individual owned enterprises. People with odds against them discourage easily. Orunk On Pewer The case was more readily diag nosed than remedied. Kcanotnie tinkerera in places of authority got a taste at power and drank of it too deeply.: Then they quit:.

Sb Mnch Talent Every since Andrew Jackson started tiiediingoffw idt a bang; by turning die rascals out to make room for political friends, there have been sporadic times in our national life when it has been a great things to be a Democrat. But never has there been anything quite like the felicity today in be ing a Democrat from Missouri. From, top to bottom, from re conversion to expert banking, Mis sourians are running the country. Washington is full of them. The tiling has got to die point that every policy difference negotiated among administration agencies is another Missouri compromise. ; It is agood tiling for die coun try that Ibrry Tniman comes from a stata so bounteously sup plied .with superior ' talent for statecraft and administration.

Can yoa imagine it? Of course; it is utterly fantastic that any such an army of govern ment spellers and tenf-barkers could be justified by any necessary ser vice they are rendeiing the coun try. That they should be sucking like leeches the tax revenues of the A tnericao people to the tnne of $75 000.000 per year is moreover hard. Iy less than criminal. -Wbat do you. supposa such a huge personnel of-Federal employ, es could be doing with themselves, anyway? Of course, there is some amount of essential “information” which the government should assemble and distribute to the public. Whatever work of this kind is necessary to this end is not to be condemned. But a conservative estimate would be that NOT HALF OF THESE 4 7 .0 0 0 employes who are getting tbeir nourishment from the Feder. al pap are in {be oariicfllar set-ups honestly and legitimately engaged in justifiable public service. Every imaginable sort of Federal bureau, agency 01 commission ere. gted by the Federal government has-its ''information” department, alias its public relations division, alias, its publicity division. No doubt many thousands of those emoloyed in these scores of Federal bureaucracies keep., them, selves busy getting out new's-mat. ter to correct or'counteract similar propaganda put out by kindred agencies: And there is. even Jess doubt that many thousands more .of them pre tend to kaep themselves, busy flood ing the country frith - publicity of all descriptions which is wboliy de eigned to feather the nests of their own particular depaitmfht."

A searching analysis will un> questionably show that the public welfare conld be equally as well served after the beheading of a large Dropoitiou of the broken-down news men, neer-do^well former s< booi .teachers and outcast college professors and tbeir endless train of sub< rdinates, ckrks and secre. taries who compose ,the personnel ot this useless and costly-, appond* age of Federal bureaucracy If these millions of useless Fed. eral job holders are unable on the basis oi personal and professional merit to find employment in pri vate business, It would be cheaper for the taxpayers for the govern, nient to re-establish for tbeir spec, ial benefit the old WPA and to keep them on that basis.—Char lotte Observer.

No replies can be made direct by mail, but only in the column which tew appear in this newspaper regularly. Speed of Discharge Apropos of .the confusion existing in the minds of both members of the armed services and civilians, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower testified before a joint meeting of the house and senate January 15 that all men in the army with two years’ serv ice would be on their way out by July I, 1946. He further said that veterans and civilians who are now complaining have no reason to ex pect discharge for another three or four months under the, original de mobilization program set up by Gen. George C. Marshall as chief of staff. Although further cut in number of points eligible for discharge may come within the next few weeks, as of January 15, discharge points necessary for thg army remains at 50 for enlisted men and 70 for offi cers. General MacArthur has an nounced that the point score for men under his command is 48 for enlisted men and 68 for officers. These figures apply to all who had earned that number of points as of September 2, 1945. It is pointed out at the war department that each theater commander has the authori ty to reduce the point score for dis charge. War department heads agree that discharge of veterans is proceeding at a rate that is too fast for the efficiency and safety of the army and replacements are not coming fast enough although training of re placements has been cut from 17 to 13 weeks. Qaestions and Answers Q. I was discharged froin the regular army in January, 1944, and now I would like to put in another hitch, but because of a paragraph In my discharge papers am unable to. It reads: “Is not recommended for re-enlistment, induction or re- induction. Sec. 8 . AB 615-360.” How can I have this fixed and re-enlist? —Reader, Albertville, Ala. A- Section 8 of . army regulations to which you refer means that you are unfit for military service and will not be accepted, according to the war department. Q. What does a man in the army get discharge points for? If mar ried, but no children, is the wife considered a dependent? Are any discharge points allowed for her?— Mrs. B. J. D., Mt. Sterling, Ohio. A. Discharge points in the army are allowed for service in this country and overseas, for minor chil dren (not more than three) and for decorations or battle stars. A wife is considered a dependent in so far as family allowance is concerned, but not for discharge points. Q. I heard any one in service under 20 years of age can get a dis charge to attend school even if he hasn’t enough points. Is this true? —Mrs. 0. S., Lewistown, 111.. A. No discharge is granted to per mit a . man under age to attend school. He may go to school at the- army institute in this country or to any one of the courses Which have been instituted overseas. Q. We are the parents of two boys who served their country, one three years in the army, the other almost four years in the navy. The father is 55 and mother, 49. We do not own any property and Uve in one of the boy’s home. The father worked at a saw mill and made 50 cents an hour. When the boys went into service, we thought if we could get by without starving we would not draw from the govern ment on them. We had one single girl in school and one 13-year-old boy in school. We did get . by and did not starve, but it took every cent to do so and keep the two in school. Would it have been dishon est to have drawn on one of the boys? If not, could we get it yett They -are both honorably dis charged.—Mr. and Mrs, F. H., Val ley Head,. Ala. A. It certainly would not have been dishonest for you to take an allotment from one or both of your boys for the allotment would have been entirely voluntary on their part out of their pay and the amount they voluntarily set aside for you would have been matched by the govern ment. You cannot get it. now, since they are discharged. Q. My husband had war bond allotments taken from his pay which he received ...■ when he was dis- < charged ait Indiantown Gap, Pa. Would like to know where to write, since he has not received his bonds. —Mrs. W. W. E., MiUmont, Pa. .A. Write to the war bond div ision, U. S. army, 4300 Goodfellow blvd., St. Louis 20, Mo. ■ . Q. If a man has enough' points for discharge is there any >way a. regular navy man can be released if he hasn't served his fall six-year enlistment?—Wife, Duluth, Minn. ’ A. The navy says, “No.” 8 . 3 Sandwiches, Salads Form a Basis for . (fpojri^g Lunches Hot. sandwiches are a welcome treat for quick lunches. QRiey may be prepared with ground meat, cheese or cold meats and flavorfuDy garnished with tomatoes, mustard, onions or mayonnaise. It’s .eat and run in most house holds for- lunch- time because, the childrenmust run back to school or husbands must h u rry b ack to work. If 'foods are prepared in advance, however, even the quick lunch can be nourishing and satis fying. Sandwiches, of course, are an old standby, but they should be rounded out with soups and salads instead of just a beverage and a piece of cake. Cold meats are easy to use, but they can be served warm to add more appetite appeal to the noon-day meal. Left-over vegetables from the night-before dinner, when well chilled and mixed with crisp greens, make an appetizing salad. They may also be used, along Wiffi left over meat, for delicious soup which is so welcome with a fairly dry food like a sandwich. If sandwiches are served, the des sert should be preferably a pudding or ice cream to. give contrast. These, too, are easily prepared in the morning and will be ready to serve for lunch. I have chosen a number of sand wiches called “burgers” which I think you Will find highly suitable for that quick noon-day get-together. Hamburger.

They are light enough to contrast well with soup and . sandwich luncheons and easy, to make. Light, fruity desserts offer taste and color contrasts to rich, heavy meals.

While this is an off-year in politics there are a number of offices to fill this fall. A State Senatorfrom Yadkin County is to elect, a Representative, Clerk of Court, Sheriff and Coroner, also a member of Congress from this district, and a Solicitor. These men will be selected in May pri mary. So far as we know there will be not more than two Re publican candidates for sheriff and perhaps not over three for Clerk of the Court. So far as we have heard Davie has no candidate for Solicitor. We presume that the boys will soon begin to throw hats in the ring. Politics in Davie are nbt what they were here some fifty years ago. We shall watch developments and keep our read ers posted on the political situa tion as the water gets warmer.

February 16, Prior to the annual Lincoln Day dinner at night, Ray Jennings, die one-man chamber of commerce at Taylorsville, who is mayor and chief mogul in that city, who buys roads and keeps the service going, is expected to be re-elected for an other years as president of die younger group, James M. Baley, Jr., of Mar shall, who represented Madison county in the General Assembly and who has just recently return ed from military service to his practice of law, will make the prin cipal address for the younger group of Republicans. It will be die key note for'die work of that organi zation. He is popular and easily one of the leaders of the Young Republicans in the state. Besides electing Jennings to suc ceed himself, as is now expected die Young Republicans , will select a full slate: of officers to serve the coming year.

U MUNITIONS TO JAPAN WASHINGTON.—The Pearl Har bor investigating committee has now spent nearly three months dig ging into military - naval - political reasons why we were caught asleep on December 7, 1941. While this is important, all the {acts show that Japan would have attacked anyway; if not at Pearl Harbor, at some oth er place, and if not on December 7, at some other time. Meanwhile, we have seized various documents front the Japs, showing that Uiis war was' carefully Ibuilt up over a period of years and that certain AmeTT ican munitions makers were ei ther unsuspecting or deliberate Jap co-partners. If we are to prevent war in the future—and that presumably is one motive of the Peafl Harbor com mittee—the manner in which Amer-' ican business aided the Japs to pre pare for Pearl Harbor is important. We must build up machinery so this doesn’t happen again., MUNITIONS LOBBIES One thing the Pearl Harbor com mittee might well investigate is the way lobbies developed in Washing ton to put pressure on the govern ment to sell war goods to Japan. These lobbies, representing oil, gaso line, scrap iron, airplanes, machine tools, made a lot of headway with the army and navy, sometimes with the state department One man they never affected was Harold Ickes. As secretary of the interior he controls the export of helium gas, and at exactly the same month the above report was written; the Germans were trying to buy he lium from the U. S. A. for their zeppelins. The army, the navy and Secre tary of State Hull gave their okay. But Icbes said no—unless Ameri can -inspectors were stationed in Germany to see how the helium was used. Finally the question came up in cabinet meeting. Secretaiy Hull gave a long speech telling why it was perfectly safe to sell helium to Germany without inspection. As the vote went round the table, every cabinet member voted against Ickes.But Ickes still said no. Under the law, the secretary of the interior has absolute control over the export of helium. No one can overrule him. So finally FDR turned to Ickes and said; “Well, Harold, you’re the boss. You win.”• * « VETERANS’ PROBLEMS Lt. Co I. R. P. Bronson, chief of the contact and service branch of the V eterans’ adm inistration, blinked when he was handed a tele gram from a distressed veteran the other day. It read; “Assistance needed stop brother murdered here December 26 stop reply by wire.” Colonel Bronson instructed an aide to phone the veteran’s home, city and see that he was given im mediate help. Then he continued to lesif through the daily file of pleas that come to his desk. "It’s all in a day’s work,” he said. “But I’ll admit that one had me stumped for a while.” Wide and varied are the SOS ap peals the Veterans’ administration receives from men wearing the dis- charge insignia. They range from vets wanting to get traffic tickets “fixed” to those who want to adopt children, purchase new automobiles or get liquor licenses. “We’re the ‘Little Mother’ agency of the government;” said the colonel, a two-fisted overseas veteran with a sense of humor and four battle stars on his campaign ribbons. “We do onr best, but of course we can’t please everybody. It would make it a lot easier on ns if some of our correspondents realized that their off-the- track problems hinder the han dling of thousands of legitimate requests from men seeking ben efits under the G.I. Bill of Rights and so on. When they ' ask us to find them wives, that sort of stumps us.” The love interest’is uppermost in unusual V.A. mail. However, a Maryland vet recently wanted help in getting his water main connect ed. A. West Virginian posed the fol lowing $64 question; • “Do you know of or can you find out about some government agency which can assist me in finding a wife? I am a veteran of two years ' and nine months service—age 39— and so far, for some unknown rea son, I am unsuccessful in finding a bride. Hope to receive a favorable reply very soon.”* • • CAPITAL CHAPP Members of congress were not pleased by General Eisenhower’s quick departure from the Library of Congress auditorium after he ad dressed them on demobilization.

T F YOU look over the list of ail 1 the leading hall players for the last 30 years,’ including baseball’s hall of fame at CooperstoWn,' you’ll find that over 90 per cent of them cptae from cities and towns, under 10,000. ’ Cobb, Speaker, Jackson, Mathew- son* Alexander, Cy Young,',- John- I son, Glove, Sisler1 Eddie Collins 'Hornsby, Foxx, La- joie. Home Run Ba ker, Wagner, Bob Feller, the Cooper brothers, Keller, Dickey, the DiMag- gios,. Hartnett, the Deans, CaYl Hub- bell, and.so on came to their fame from isolated and unknown spots on the map. Such instances . run into, the'hundreds. New York’s main con tributions have been Gehrig, Greeh- berg and Frish. Chicago has turned out a few. star^ including Phil Cav- aretta. Baltimore gave the game Babe Ruth. But New York, Chi cago, Philadelphia, Boston' and oth er crowded cities in proportion have lagged far behind. In towns running from 1,000 to 10,- 000 population there is always room for a ball field. In these “Sweet Anbnrns, loveliest villages of the plains,” Uiere is space in which kids can Mt, run, throw and slide. They can play the game np to the hilt. But in a city such as New York. you can see thousands trying to play on crowded streets as cars come through to drive them back to-the sidewalks. Ever try to slide' over cobblestones while eluding, a fast* moving automobile? Few Stars From Cities , Take a look at the now famous Cardinal roster, which embraced at least 30 stars. At !past 95 ;per cent of these came along and’ up from places you never heard about. If these players had been bom in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, etc., possibly two or three 'would have made the big leagues. That is the way the percentage.I runs. Gehrig and Frisch came { along through Columbia and Fordham. But few street kids have a Chance to get any -college- course and find a ball field where they can develop, Baseball’s hall of fame, now and in years to come, would be extreme ly thin if it had io look to the crowd ed, thoughtless larger cities for its talent. If there isn’t enough- within these cities; there is always; space enongb outside — and there sire still busses running and there-'will soon be motor cars available. ’ ’ Complainingj1Pbout; juvenile deiin- quincy, youthful, crime, is a waste of time. The responsibility belongs to older peogTe who through sport and the full , support of so- many bard working organizations can change the; entire picture in a few years. - Athletes and Condition What^group of. athletes keep in better physical condition—or worst physical condition, so far as pro fessional sport is concerned?, . AtJa recent -gabbing session, we ran into a number of coaches, as sistant coaches, trainers and assist ant trainers whq know their way fermind, whb have been in charge of-various sports-for many years. Ite was their belief that profession al, football play era Jand professional tournament golfers on the. average 'ere in better- physical condition lSian any other. group, and that pro- ~ ssional baseball players ; trailed e list. - ; This statement will bring- a loud :nd lusty squawk from many ball layers, Jbut - it !-happens Jto carry bore than a mere shade. of truth. Anyway, the .coaches and 'trainers whe feH this way about J it should know what they are talking about. ,,“This,: of course, doesn’t include all ball payers,” one trainer said. “But- it includes too many of them. Most of-them couldn’t do Half the job. a pro football player has to facg. Watch !most of them hit a triple and you’ll find them puffing at third; base and that’s less, than IdO yards.

Poor Radio Program s I Irk RiiraI IJateners IpARMrorganizaUons .here are up 1 in arms 'against radio stations -and the radio networks.because they believe rural listeners are being dis criminated against in allocation of tim e'and the type of programs beamed, to'farm audiences. Through four days of hearings be fore the Federal-. Communications -commission ’ representatives of the R ational G range, the N ational Farmers 'Union- and the National 'Council of Farmer Co-operatives laid -their grievances on the table in an -effort, to induce the FCC to demand snore adequate farm programs broadcast at a time when farm and rural folks can listen. The contention was (I) that the ^stations and networks are not allo cating sufficient time to farm pro grams; (2 ) that programs now be ing broadcast are not of high cali ber or interest to agriculture; (3) -that time iff broadcast makes it in convenient or impossible (or ratal folks to listen; (4) that 21 million rural listeners are shut off at night -from primary radio service and must be content with relatively ini Ierior secondary service, and 10 mil lion rural folks live outside the day time service area iff any standard broadcast station; and (5) doe to mew allocations many radio stations of land grant universities have been cat off the air by clear channel sta tions at times when farmers can listen. The department of agriculture was represented at the hearing by John Baker, xhief of the radio service of USDA1 and M.L. Wilson, agriculture extension director. The farm leait ers were outspoken In their disap pointment at Baker's testimony in the belief he did not bade them up, although they maintain Agriculture Secretary Anderson was interested in presenting a "strong case” in behalf of his department. tF arm , Home Hamr Dropped Farm , leaders point to the loss of the National Farm and Home Hour. For many months this ran as a 60- minute,’. six-days-a-week show dur ing the. noon hour in. which the de partment of agriculture and farm organizations participated. They say that the show has now deteriorated into a.five-minute Saturday presen- tationsponsored by a farm machin ery manufacturer. Farm leaders contend that if the radio broadcast ers were sympathetic to the more than 50 million rural listeners they would allocate more and better time and would program shows of spe cial interest to farm audiences. Maiiy. dear channel stations and the networks were represented' at the hearing by their lawyers. While they presented no evidence, they did cross-examine the witnesses for the farm organizations, which in cluded Russell Smith of the Fann ers Union, C. Maurice Wieting of the Co-pperatives, and Louis Wil son of ',the Grange. : Patd- Porter, chairman of the Fed eral Communications commission, in an address before the National As sociation iff Broadcasters last March, shortly after he assumed chairmapship of the commission, pointed , out the. “intolerable situa tion" in which rural listeners found themselves due to lack of good radio service. This statement indicated that he might do something about the allocation of new wave lengths. Special Programa Needed However, the farmers maintain that nothing has been done to cor rect the situation' and they have lost much of the time that was formerly allocated to farm programs. - They maintain that farm and rural lis teners have a special need for pro grams tailored to the interests of agriculture. Mr. Porter, in his address before the broadcasters, pointed out the very facts testified to by the farm leaders, that 38.5 per cent of the area iff continental United States inhabit ed by 10 million rural folk lies out-, side the daytime service area of- any standard broadcast station, and that at night almost 57 per Cent of the' area populated by 21 million folks must reiy on inferior service: “This is an intolerable situation for a country with our great re- sources and technical capacity. The condition is particularly aggravated when you consider that the millions who have no service or only inferior service are precisely those isolated ,rural families which must rely on radio for their contact with the out side world,” Mr. Porter said. It’s IJp to .S to th iu ,,N etw ork* : The FCC has regulatory power over the radio stations and networks, not only over power and; wave length, :but over the type of broadcasts pre sented, hence the petition of the farm organizations before this com mission. It would appear to your Home Town Reporter that Witii an audience of'millions of rural listen ers the radio industry would polfoe itself with regard to the proper timing; and presentation of interest ing agricultural programs. Nodoubt they have a side in the matter. ft M A A Y OHARAW.M.U. PEATuiiaWM1 . — •sSZ~J? THE STOKT THUS FAR: .Thunder- bead Is lbe only wblte taree ever IMded at Uie erne* Bar ranch la Wyoming.

Not .domes tic horses, to labor and toil for men. Not race horses—prima donnas in stable-boudoirs, with valets and ladies’ maids and trainers—But wild horses! Ken sidled deeply and wearily, nodding his bead. Well he knew about Nature now. “And between you and me, Ken,” continued his father, “every horse- lover in the world has to take off his hat to the wild horse—a horse that acts like a horse—as God made him—not according to some cooked- Up plans of men.” - -■ A en gave perfunctory attention to what his father was saying but his mind was on one thing only. Where exactly was Thundeihead now? How exactly could he be got back? “We hunted up there at the far end of tiie valley as long as we could,” he said. “If Howard hadn’t had to get home, we would have had more time.-' I wanted Howard to take FIicka and leave me up there for a while. But he wouldn’t. He ■aid we had to stick together.” "Quite right It would have been dangerous. Besides, you had no horse. How would you have got home?” Ken averted his eyes, ashamed to say that his father or Gus would have had to come for him. “I might have got hold of Thunderhead again.” ' “AM A pretty long chancel” There was a silence while Rob sat In thought. Then he said, “Have you any idea. where he took the mares?” “Well, we went for enough up the valley to see that it went out into other valleys, and then other Valleys branched off of those. There wasn’t any real rampart—that volcanic wall I told you about—up at the oth- ;*r end—just a lot of mountains go ing up one behind the other, higher [and higher. That left a lot of places where the horses could have gone. •'It just looked lfi» a—a—labyrinth ,‘of mountains and draws and gorges 'and valleys—” Ken turned his head away again oppressed by the mem- oiy of the scene-Jme clouds of snow, the Mdzing glaciers, pockets of em erald grass, the soaring grandeur of the peaks. He cpuldn’t even try to !put it into words. ‘Tt was just hopeless. There wasn’t a sign of the mares or Thun derhead. We had trailed them all .the way up the valley—of course it -was easy to See their tracks, espe cially Thunderhead’s. But for the •last two hours it snowed. I think ,it snows every day up there. Andit was getting dark,” “What time was it when Howard found you after you fell off Thun derhead?” Ken thought a moment. He wasn’t .going to tell his father that he' had ,lain there sobbing his heart out for ,an hour. “Well—I don’t know ex actly—I was asleep—”“After you fell off?” Rob glinted a little, lookihg at his son. - Kai flushed. “Yes. Iwassodead tired. And—and—I just lay there. !When I felt Howard shaking me and looked up and saw him and Flicka there, I -didn’t know where I was or what had happened for a moment. But t think it, was about noon.” - Knocked cold. and didn’t know it, thought Rob. Aloud he said medita tively, “You sure can get yourself In the damndest predicaments! You must have as many lives as a cat! Anyone else would be dead if they’d been caught in half the jams you’ve been ini . First with Flicka. ■ And then the eagle got your gizzard. And now tiffs.” • ■ Ken’s head swayed In complete 'JfereemenL Rob smoked for a few moments, ha bis mind the scene lived again., The hidden valley, the tight of the two stallions—“I’d liketo have seen that fight!” he exclaimed. -. The mere thought of lt made Rob get to Ms feet and walk around the room .‘ “It’s the damndest thing that ever waslr Why, Kenl didn’t it occur to you that all he had to do was throw out one-paw the way he Md to the AHriho and it would have i«me through your head like but. eri” • “But he wasn’t, mad at me. He didn’t pay any attention to me . at ML” " Rob dropped In his chair again, He was bursting with pride. He leaned forward and squeezed Ken’s knee and In spite of . himself tbs boy wtaced,-..„ “I suppose you, know that' it doesn’t often happen that, a man rides'a'Stallioh in the act of round ing up! a band of mares and lives to tell the tale.” - Ken nodded his head In bewilder ment, “He was awful queer. He didn’t .mind having me around ,or. on his-back, but just, didn’t seem! to notice me, or. hear .anything I said,, And he wouldn’t obey me, at all any more.?' This last ,was in !en.ag- grleved.tohe. , Rob shouted with laughter. “Obey youl I should say-ay-ay not! Who are you to interfere .in a moment like that!” Ken tilted his head assentingly. The joke was on him all right. ' He had a look Rob had seen on him ihany times before—always caused by one of these soul-sfaruggles over horses. He was white and hol low-eyed and lookhd as if he’d lost ten pounds: “You' look like a picked chicken,” said Rob dryly. “You always man age, to get yourself all run-down just when it’s time to go to schdOL" “School!” “Yes. But I suppose .we ought to be -thankful that you came home all in one piece.” .Something was choking in Ken’s throat. School again! Just. school! After all the yearis hopes and the work and the planning! After hav ing been a racing man! 1 Owioier of the wonder horse!- Practically over with such childish things as school! And already possessed iff his father’s permission to stay out ,of school and “After you fell riff” Reb asked. go to Saginaw Falls with Charley Sargent! Rob's eyds were ,running over him critically, “You look pretty sick. Aside from dirt and scratches, and getting tuckered out, nothing hap pened to you tiffs time,- did it? No claws in your belly? No. broken bones?”Ken raised his:right arm carefully and moved it; about in an experi mental manner. ,“What happened to that arm?” “When I slid off Thunderhead and saw I was going to land on myface I threw this arm up—gave it a crack.” • Rob examined the arm and shoul der. Ken winced several times. “Nothing. broken. Anything rise?” “Well, coming home on Fllcka-I couldn’t straddle her, my legs ached so—I had to sit side-saddle.” Rob laughed. “I’ve had. that feel ing myself. That came from riding the stallion when he was snaking. It wrenched every muscle in your body.” Rob’s eyes went over Ken minute ly, noting the ragged; filthy clothes, the hands with Mrt ground into the hastily'Washed scratches and abra sions, a dark bruise down one side, of his fece, stains of blood inside one leg of his bluejeans. ” 1 did think I w asa goner once,” said KffiD* . -•When was that?” ' “When I fen off Thunderhead and the mares were coming right be hind.” —-,-T: “No horse wffl step on a Uvmg thing if it can be avoided.

Rob leaning back again. “Ken, there are outstanding individuals in the ani- mal world as well as the human. The Albino was like Napoleon! ! Or like Caesar! To be dose to one of those is like being close to a charge of T.N.T." ' •’ ; “Yes, sir,” saM Km wearily,He knew. Rob made a little gesture ,with his hand. "Well!

Because you see there's Only a Httle more than a month before the race—” Rob answered gravely, “ It would take a regiment of cavalry—and then they wouldn’t get him.” Kenwas rilent He was not sur prised. ' Moreover, deep within him, something revolted against the, idea of taking: such an expedition into his valley. The band of mares ,broken UP, some of them killed during the roping, colts stolen, separated .from their dams, coarse shouts and curses and brutal acts desecrating that re mote, inviolate animal sanctuary— he’d almost rather lose his horse. Ken lifted his white fece with a look of straight-seeing courage and resignation in-his eyes. “Dad,” he said again, and paused. For the hundredth time in his tortured men tal processes he had come to the ,same conclusion—that there was only one slim hope. “Won’t he come back, dad?” "Of his own accord?” !‘He Mwaya has before. This is his home and he’s oriented. ’You Mways sMd he would, and he al ways did.” There was a Uttle sadness In Rob’s sardonic smile this time.“ Ken! You know horses! He’s got a band of mares now, hasn’t he?” - “Yes, sir." ‘Will he abandon them?” The question needed no answer. Ken had reached that same conOlu- rion in his own thoughts every time.

UEldOlty SEIECnON: Ee ta a toad* ills woaderful works -to be remembered.—• PsaIm 111:*. A goodly heritage is the ,,gift of God to his people. By faith they|- must enter into ii and . posses it.; Thus they honor him who has prom ised, and they witness to Ml the; earth that he is a great God and a loving heavenly Father. It magnifies his name to believe on his word and] to act on his promises. ' Israel, having failed' God and: plunged themselves into years of; wandering by their unbelief when; they just came up to the Promised' Land, were now ready to go over, Jordan and take-tbe land.. A* new generation bad grown up, and for their 'instruction Moses re hearsed the history of the peo ple,’ repeated the promises of God, and renewed their remembrance of his law. The book of Deuteronomy gives that “second law” — actually a-review of what had been given before.,As they entered upon God’s rich - heritage for them they were admon ished to : I, Hearken to God’s Law (v. I).Tohearkenm eansm orethanto hear and forget. It carries with it the giving of attention to what is heard with the purpose of doing something about it. ! God’s law, his statutes and judg ments are for the good of his peo-: pie. They are not designed to limit! their freedom, but to provide the' Channels through which they shall be most free to Uve and to accom-j plish that which is good and noble and useful. Two things were assured to IsraM; if they hearkened to the law of God.. They would first of all “five.”-This; does not mean only that they should esbape death, but that they might' enter into the fullness of life. “The Bible teaches that we are: free to choose between a high grade of life or a low grade, be tween a life which involves fellow ship with God or a daily existence1 which means nothing more than the enjoyment of animal coniforts' and. following our own willful ways” (Earl L. Douglass). The second result Of obeying, God’s law! would be their going into' and possessing the land which God, gave them. There is victory and; attainment, as well as Messed fel-' Iowship for the one who obeys God.! That is true today as it was in the! time of Moses. II. Remember God’s Love (w . 32-36). . I The loving mercies of God toward! his people had reveMed his infinite: greatness and glory. . I He revealed himself in the fire— | and they might well have been con-; snmed by it—yet he graciously: spoke to them instead;.of deriroy-l ing them. Tbey were to recall, too,; that he had done a mighty and wont derful thing in taking them out of! the powerful hand of Egypt and! making them into a people for Ms, name. Sad is the state of the soul of: the man who has lost his sense of; the miraculous! To live in the midst; of the constant demonstration of. GodVpower and his mercy, and to' see and feel nothing but' the com monplace touch of humdrum daily, life, is to be blind and deaf—yes,' to be dead spirituaUy. Is fie any Ieto powerful today?- Certainly not! He is still the God! .ff the miraculous and nowhere is that divine energy more evident, than in the spiritual life of mqn. . The wonders ..of God in creation! were. rehearsed - for ISraeL They learned of his care for his people.' “But far more wonderful are the; works' of God in the new creation -and Ms infinite care for his peo-i pie redeemed from a ruined race,< and made inheritors of . eternal resi-: -fence *in the. heavenly Canaan”; (Hight C. Moore). , m . Depend on God’s Ptomisej (W. 37-40). • The Promised Land was before: them, but it was for them to go In; and possess it. There were whrfare! and struggle ahead,.mighty warlike' peoples to overcome. Were they; able for it? No,' not in their own' strength! • I How wore they to! accomplish this; formidable task? Ry counting on: Sod. He had promised to drive out; the nations now. holding the land.! He is a God not only in.heaven, ,but also on.earth (v. 39). Tlie peo-; 'pie Vdio beUeve him may go for-’, ward expecting miracles, to hap-: pen. • • Obedience to God’s law brings' fellowship with the eternM and, omnipotent One,.and tiie confident, assurance that he win bring victory and the full accomplishment of his: will for the obedient believer. • 'That is as true now as ever. Yes,' let’s be accurate and say that it is more true than ever, for briievers now are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God who 'makes real in and through them all the grace and beauty and power of God. ?I ASK ME ??

But most farmers do not know that A tiny germ, shaped like a drum stick, UUs thousands of farm animals with A poison a hundred times more powerful than cobra venom. This is the invisible germ of tetanus, or lockjaw, which lives In the soil, especially on fertilized farms. Vte poison it the lockjaw germ is generated after the germ gains en t r a n c e t„ the body through a wound, usually of the punctbre type.Hofgea often contract lockjaw from stepping CA rusty nails or other sharp objects. New-born pigs, foals, and lambs very frequently die from lockjar because the raw navel stump contacts this deadly germ In soiled bedding or con taminated earth. Heavy losses from tetanus also follow the common farm operations of castrating and docking, ute poison of the lockjaw germ, affects the brain, spinal cord, and nerve*. Spasms of the muscles prevent the suffering beast from opening Hs mouth, and starvation complicates Ow condition.Vortunatelyt science has now placed among the preventable diseases. When a valuable horse or colt fecelves a wound, the animal may be saved if the veterinarian adminstera antitoxin at once. On farms when tetanus is a known hazard, horses can be permanently immunised by a More dange.ous than a sr..:? o-te. new Wpe of biological product called "tetanus toxoid." lKiis same preventive is now given to all soldiers, and to horses owned by the Army. Pig losses at castrating time can' often be avoided by using a clean knife and turning the pigs to clean pasture. Hiis also applies to freshly docked Ismbs.In the northern states such a high percentage of lockjaw cases is fatal that livestock owners should concentrate on prevention rather than cure. Hmely use of antitoxin or tet anus toxoid is the most practical in surance sgainst this fatal disease.

AtUtut Guns and Such Revolutions come from abuses of power, not from the normal use of IL I am not talking about wars in particular. AU kinds of revolution ary developments At themselves into much the same pattern. It would be hard to find a better iUustration than the one presented by America’s be wildering eahon of statutes on the subject of firearms—their possession and uss. Guns are violent. They make men formidable; They add to the force of people who own and understand them. In some states, citizens walk unmolested in the street wearing side arms. In other states, any res ident must buy a permit if he wants to keep his' great-grandfather’s "Revolutionary Ointlock" at home in a glass case. The difference is no political whimsy. Matter Of Abuse It would take a big book to tell, why guns are prohibited in some sec tions and winked at in others. If the vdiole story were told, however, it would add up to this: Whereverthe right to own arms has been abused, an indignant public sentiment has welled up demanding laws against them, enacted and enforced. With out popular approval it is hard to enforce any law, wise or otherwise. A few days ago I wrote a predic tion that the American people some day would rise up and enact laws requiring compulsory arbitration of labor disputes. Snce Ipennedthose lines I have been in several states and talked with men who are close to .the public pulse. Almost all of .them Niare my fears as well as my slender hope that compulsory arbi tration never comes. Need Never Baroen Outlawing strikes, a threat plain to see,, would be an unnecessary calamity. No detail of human free dom should be sacrificed to anything but public safoty. Strikes, like guns, have their uses. If outlawed, all working people (not unions only) will suffer a setback; lose the gains of many toilsome years. If I mightad- vise Labor, I would say, "Clean your gun and put it away.” Don’t make such action necessary. Civilization' has made progress at times by force of arms. Just so, a large group of people have made wholesome advances by force of the power to strike. Betog disarmed would weaken them, mid they are likely to be disarmed because the public is weary of violence. The war is over and peace has problems that can't be solved Iqr rattling sabers or carrying banners ht torch parades.Hear Henry WaBaee Writing about pressure groups in his recent book, "(0 Million Jobs,” Secretary Wallace said: "Any one group can, for a tim*, get a larger, share of the national income but it doesn’t work when all try it at the same time. Sooner or later the pres sure game will blew up in our faces. Thie is . . . practical arithmetic. Unless we lesxn it, our future is Mack indeed.” Elsewhere he wrote: 'Th Iabor- management cooperation lies the very hope of. . . jobs. HRtii mutual understanding between labor and management, in the difficult years Ahead, we stand our best chance of getting good wages for labor, good prices for the farmer, stable profits for business men and a higher stand ard cd living for. those who need It most” HenryWhIlaceisafriendof Labor, but he foresees danger. Fair Play Unequal advantages In any kind of contest spoil the sport for most Americans. A sense of fairness is deeply rooted in our people. Some- times a champion athlete is not a popular favorite because the fens suspect some* mysterious advantage that makes him invincible. Actually exposing crookedness in a profes sional team is all it takes to bank- rupt the chib, because fairness is cardinal. Practically all forms of competi tion take on the features of a game in this country; business and poli tics are no exceptions. Ithasbeen said that "all’s fair in Ioye and war,” but ft might be said another way: When emotions overcome reason, people forget to be fair. The com testant who ceta all worked' up re- grhto it because his public turns against him if he is unfair. Proular Destsios - The public-has taken a hand occa sionally in the bout bebheen those heavy-weight contestants,' Capital and Labor. Until very recently, La bor was the popular favorite, and the choice was sane. The laborer has been “the man on the bottom” In many lands for countless years and sympathy for the under dog is a hu man trait. But this generation od Americans has seen the tables turn. Isbor In the United States la not the under dog—far from it Evwty mature person, who has given the subject any thought at all, knows that Capital is no match for Labor in this country now. Labor has a club that management can’t use; the strifes. What is even more, manage ment has no weapon that Will ap proximately match it In force and violence, and has no defense from it. . Times Are Changed Therewas a time when an employ er could fire a competent workman for voting wrong. A straw boss once could dismiss a female subordinate for resenting his overtures. Intelli gent persons were let out for express ing general discontent over long hours, low wages and unwholesome surroundings. It was disgracefuL It was also a long time ago. It was not fair. The public resented it and it stopped. People Stni remember those days. Nobody care 3 much now if employers have to hire whom the union says hire, pay what the union says pay, and Mow the whistle by the union official’s watch. But there is some thing that the public does care about, namely strikes. Whwi a home own er’s family shivers in a cold house for want of fuel he is anxious to buy, he finds out why. Unfairness Ahows- In finding out why, people discover Labor’s unequal advantage. Jotai Q. Public might not frown on a strike over wages or hours, but he gets plenty huffy doing without necessi ties while somebody retaliates s grievance—or while men sit idle, try ing to force a point that might bet ter be settled peaceably, settled with both shifts working and business go ing on as usual. Strikes are violent and unfair and the piddle dislikes them. Destructive as arson, they hurt-many people instead of me, I am a Hf»v»g friend of Labor, and I predict that the strikp will be outlawed by popu lar indignation. The lockout and the Maridist were so outlawed. Peaceful ways to settle industrial disputes exist now. Unless they are used voluntarily, we can look for'the public to create some compulsory method.

Proposing Anarchy Farmers in a county in Nebraska, talking about a strike against strikes, have the wrong idea. It is true that strikes in Indus' try prevent their purchase and use of needed articles, including farm implements, while they work on to feed die strikers. It seems that it would be simple justice to sttike against strikes, but two wrongs do not yet make aright by any calculation, ancient or modem. Besides the economic issues at tendant upon strikes, such as wages, prices, cost of living and die work load, there is a great deal of animosity. Often that seems more appar ent than the question of wages.: When a big strike gets within two and a half cents an hour of settlement and still die deadlock stands, it seems plain that the fury and hatred engendered by the struggle have more bearing on die matter than die wage issue, we need more friendliness, of brotherhood and less of die bit' ter-end fighting that marks indus trial peace until we have it. A farmer’s strike would’t get anywhere. If diat weie to come, the logical development would be a strike of all other elements in the population. The merchant would lode his doors; doctors and nurse strike and even the grave diggers. - ' What people who propose such a thing would get is anarchy, and that is what we may find unless some of die terrible ill feeling evidenced is replaced by good will. —Charlotte Observer. Less Than One Pair AMonth New York — The Ameriian women will huve to worry along on less than one pair of stockings a month for the rest of this year, Earl Constantine, president of the National Association- ofH osi ery Manufacturers, said yesterday 1946 women’s hosiery production “will approximate 40,000,000 dpi- en pairs—at most 10 pairs' per womau.” Ib is compares with an with an average of 14 pair per wo man a year before the war. Three out of every four pairs made, though, will be nylons, al lowing eachu woman about seven pairs of nylons. Constantine said a steady flow of production and shipments; even on the basis of restricted output, could not be expected be fore April: mI am advised by the duPont Company that there can be no substantial increase in their pro duction of nylon yam during the balance of 1946, because new plant capacity now under, construction' cannot be completed before die of the year although it is being expected in every way possible," Constantine aserted. Employment Service One thing which causes screams of anguish amongst the socialists and IefWingers inside Congress and out, every time it is proposed, is that we have the employment services returned to the states. There is nothing particularly stpprising about this. Every So cialist in die. country wants to build up an all-powerful Federal bureaucratic machine at Washing ton. Each effort to protect the rights of die states and local gov' eminent is cried down as “Fascist” And returning die employment service to die various states wQuld be another act restoring states’ rights. - If we are to have a socialist-to- talitarian government, then the rights of die states must be stead ily curtailed. The states and lo cal governments are the biggest barrier to totalitarian rule at Washington. Here we have die real reason why all efforts to strengthen local government are cried out against by die left-wingers. Many stud ents of government believe that returning employment seryices to the states will strengthen it.be- cause die local leaders know best what each state needs. Further more, the seryices were iIoahedu by die states to the Federal gov ernment purely as a war emergen' cy. All questions of equity and efficiency are brushed aside by die left-wingers. The only thing that counts with diem is socialist to talitarian government. President Truman vetoed die proposal to return the employ' ment services from Washington to die state capitals. But President Truman didn’t do this because he is a socialist. He did it because he is a practical politician. In this he was approved by Democratic machine politicians all over the country, but especially in the big cities. For if the employment ser vice is Iefc in control of die Fed' eral government then when die national election rolls around the big-city boses can put the pres- sure on the boys who are seeking obs by advising diem that they must vote the Democratic ticket if they want to hold.—Union Re publican.

This is the first time in my life I ever had. money enough to buy a suit of clothes and now there is not a suit to be had' of my size and dimensions. I wear a long slim. The same is true of other garments. Myshirts are a mere Summer’s shadow. In Texas, die other day, L ran aeross a. heavy wool shirt, red, blue and yellow checks. Now I wear my wool shirt one week and Summer shirt the next week. Can’t buy underwear and I am down to one heavy suit and two extra light ones. The same is true of socks, one heavy wool and two very thin cotton. So I have die Au completely flabbergasted. It has put other members of die family to bed and it has been snapping at me,' but before it can get a hold I have changed from light to heavy or heavy to light and it doesn’t seem to know where and when to take hold. You see these folks wear the same thing all Winter die Au has a chance to study them. It knows their habits and can plan its at tack. But shucks, it never knows what I will do next. I seem to have it completely flebbergasted. P. S4 I knocked on my head. No Home Gadgets A hopeful .subscriber phones In to leatn when home appliances will again be available. Sorry to advise that the outlook is none to rosy. The reason is two. fold—strikes and price ceilings. Uulcss the strike in the basic steel industry is settled soon, there will be no appliances of any .sort, nor any bnilders’ hardware, farm tools and implements' Everything these days is made from rolled stee 1 supply stops, most everything else comes also to a halt. Even it the steel strike is settled, there still-would be no appliances, or at least not enough to go around, •iince all the major electrical <nanu fact orers are now closed down on account of strikes of their own. And if electrical, workers decided to go hack to work tomorrow, there still wonld be no appliances, for the copper and brass workers h ve also decided to demand a 3 0 percent wage boo t and are now on strike, and you can’t make electric gadgets without copper and brass, which play a large role in the business be cause they are good conductors ot electricity. So no appliances until the strikes stop. Now for the second reason: Be fore the current strike wave start ed, a large number of appliances were produced, samples were sent to dealers, but the bulk of them were stored in warehouses, pend ing price adjustments with OPA. On manv articles no price ceilings have been fixed to date, and in some cas'es the ceilings were not satisfactory to'" manufacturers, who are bolding out for higher prices. If current wage demands are grant ed, in full or in part, there will have to be further negotiations be tween manufacturers and official price fixers. Such things take time, that’s why there will be no flood of appliances on'the market any time soon.—Statesville Daily. Notice to Creditors Having qualified as Executor of the Iaat Will of D. N.

Fair Employment Prac-, tice Looks as though we’re going to have quite an argument in Con gress about this Fair Employment Practise Act which has been so widely discussed. The act is supposed to do away with all racial discriminations so far as employment of people in industrial establishments and other business enterprises is concerned. Which, on its face, sounds migh ty fine, but don't quite get, it. We don't see no reason why the operator of any private business should not he permitten to employ whomever be wants. Its his busi. ness, and 'he should be allowed to select his own employees. The Government already tells him how much hours his employe es snail work. Tlie Government imposes many other restrictions upon bin]. And now the Govern ment wants to tell him whom he shairnot hire. Are we to have no freedom left? It seems to us that if the owner of a factory wants to employ no body except Negroes, that’s his business, and be should be permit' -ted to do so. If he wants to em ploy only Chinese, why ore vent him from doing it? If he has a prefer ence for Russians, or Jews, or Irish, or Dutchi why not let him hire them? Wbv should the Govern ment tell him whom to take and whom not to take? To onr wav ol thinking, this is just another infringement on the part of the Government against the rights of private business en terprises— The State AUTOLOANS CITIZENS FINANCE CO.

But the price-wage turmoil of today may have equal or even greater reper cussions next spring when farm ers lose their food subsidies. What most people don’t realize is that the public is squarely in be tween two powerful, well-organized pressure groups, both with very con flicting interests, both sometimes taking a public-be-damned attitude. One is organized labor. The other is the farm ' 'organizations, which, while they can’t strike, can and will exert effective pressure when subsi dies are removed. Both groups work against each other in the following manner: When labor raises wages in the cities, this sucks labor away from the farms. Whereupon the farm er has to raise farm wages in order to com pete with the cities. This in turn in creases his cost of production, forc ing him to increase prices or go out of business. At present, the farm er can’t in* crease prices because of OPA. So the government, recognizing the injustice of his higher operating costs, gives him a subsidy. When this subsidy is removed, he will have to increase prices — unless operating costs are reduced. And the current strike wave is constant ly forcing up the cost of labor. All this operates in a vicious circle. For, the minute food prices go up, labor will come in for more wage increase, based upon the cost of living. Organized labor, of course, can better take care of itself. But un organized and unprotected are a great body of white-collar workers, unskilled labor, plus the middle- class business men who get squeezed in between. This is the group which is getting sorer and sorer at labor. There was a time when they were sympathetic, but not now. This is the red flag of public opinion which organized labor needs to watch. U. S. MARES TO EUROPE Biggest foreign purchase of horses since Mussolini drained the south west for his Ethiopian transport divisions is now taking place in the middle west. UNRRA is buying 16,- 000 American m ares for disposal in Greece, Yugoslavia, Poland and Czechoslovakia countries from which the Nazis drove away most of the horse population. The m ares are being purchased under the supervision of.the depart ment of agriculture which has passed the job on to the Sparks- Norris horse and mule company in St. Louis, Owen Brothers in Mem phis, and Dean Bowsis and W. L. Elder in Des Moines. Average price paid by UNRRA to (he dealer is $77 and $97.50 per head. This has aroused criticism in the farm belt, because dealers are pay ing only $50 to $60 per horse, thus netting a profit of about $25 each. However, agriculture department officials'defend prices on the ground that dealers take a risk on sick horses, Occidents during shipment, etc. The army paid an average of $165 per head for horses during the war, but was more particular, rejecting horses for scars and blemishes. Mares now being purchased must be three to eight years old, broken for both work and riding. They are being shipped overseas from Balti more, New Orleans, Jersey City, and Portland, Me. NOTE. - Tip-off to the fact that Mussolini was plannning to conqner Ethiopia came two years - before his war started when, in t933-34, the Italians suddenly bought $342,798 worth of mnles from Missouri, Arkan sas and Texas. ADMIRAL NIMITZ’S POINTS Adm. Chester Nimitz, new chief of naval operations, was sitting in the navy building barber shop near a captain in the naval reserve. The four-striper, exchanging pleas antries with the former U. S. com mander in- the Pacific, twice remind ed his superior that he had sufficient points to get out of service, . and seemed just as anxious to be separated as the average seaman first class. Smiling mischievously, Nimitz replied, “I never thought I’d get enough points to get oni of the Pacific.” MERRY-GO-ROUND Thwser two one-time enemies, AFL’s William Green and United Mine Workers’ John L.

And again he told and retold the story ot his adventure, even to the bit about the black mare who .made die dash for freedom. , “She" was a beauty, dad. She reminded me of Gypsy, only she was bigger;*’ , And at last Rob told his boy of the important thing. That none of bis plans need be changed. He could . still go to Saginaw Falls with Charley Sargent. He could StUl send a race horse of his own in Charley Sargent’s express car. There would •till be a' Goose' Bar entry in the Faces. The. only change would be that it’would be the two-year-old filly, Toudi And Go, instead of die three - year - old stallion. Thunder- head. And so when the big black Bufck rolled down die mountain passes of the Wyoming-Idaho highway on October eleventh there were two racehorse-owners sitting In the front seat,» Charley Sargent, quite formal looking in a black overcoat and derby hat, and Ken, feeling at least ten years older than ever before. • • • Thunderhead lifted his nose high and searched the wind. It was a bare craggy peak over looking the southern; end of the val ley that he had chosen for his lookout. From here he could see below him where his mares were grazing. He could turn and look at the tiers of mountains behind! away up to the, Thunderer in his eyrie in the sky.’ He could see the clouds rolling around them, he could hear the deep rumble of the giants that lived underneath, the fall of every, ava lanche, the crack ot every frozen .tree; and', not. a bird nor ani mal could move without his eyes and ears taking note of ft. It was an uneven pinnacle ot rock on which he stood, with barely room for foothold. His hind legs were braced down and apart. His body was twisted. His head, with its float ing white mane and spear-pointed ears, was lilted high, bis'idark, White-ringed eyes filled with the wildness of the mountains and the clouds. Dangling from his black halter was a bit of rope, frayed and worn at the end. A little below him, balked by the steepness of the last sheer ascent, a small white colt stood looking up at him. Now and then Thunderhead’s glance rested on him for a second, then brushed past and up again. A new message was on the wind this early morning. There was a heavy storm coming.'The tempera ture was twenty below already and ttill falling. The mares and colts were pro tected by a long thick growth of hair which they had started grow ing in September in preparation' for this early- ftorm. But Thunderhead* was warmed only by the inner heat of the stallion. His coat was, as al ways, silky and shining, scarred only by patches of rough, long hair under his ,throat, and on his shoul ders where he had b^en wounded. Arqund the mountain peaks many storms were tossing, rolling .down the slopes, colliding with each other, carried on opposing currents of air. A boiling mass of wind-cloud swept north OVtf1 the valley with an eagle sailing before it. Now and then the .storms united and came down in a deep white blanket, then were broken up again and, roaring, sepa rated and moved in every direction. Gradually - the smother’■ thickened and snow fell, driving first one way, then the other. "> Thunderhead reared his crest high into the storm. Hia mane streamed to (he west. The eastern wind was strongest and would prevail. An easterner. Memory tingled through him and bis pawing hoof rang on the rock. . 'When the cold burns too deep, when there is death In the wind, take the way down ,the mountain. Gates are open. Mangers are full of hay. There is shelter and' food andc kindness for all. And the screaming whiteness cannot follow you in.He < made several abrupt move ments of his head, then turned and picked his way down the crag, his tail sweeping over the white colt, who carefully followed him. Thunderhead rounded up his mares and headed them north down the valley. When he had them run ning he took the lead, with the. black mare and her white colt dose be hind him. His pace was carefully chosen so that the smallest colt could keep up.What snow there was boiled film seafoam around their feet and there was that sound in the steadying eastern wind—that unvarying roar —that would, turn into a whine as the velocity increased. They strung out single file going through the keyhole and down the riirer gorge. Now and then Thunder- head circled to see that there were no stragglers, giving a few nips to keep the tail-enders aware-that they were.'bn a drive' and' expected to keep up.Below, on the plains, they spread out, kicking and biting, wild with the heat of their blood, and the ex citement of the run, and the fierce beating of the wind and snow. They neared the ranch in the late afternoon, . Thunderhead swinging along' at a canter, finding his way through the white smother with the ease of infallible instinct. He was on I?-'.,W- -•’K*Vft. •ft•* *vs, Down the Saddle Back they poured at Adl gallop. his own ground now, and had known every square foot of it since birth.' . Reaching the crest of the Saddle Bade, he halted to survey -his'do main and his mares crowded up around him. Nothing could be seen through the snow, but to his inner eye, every building, every’ fence post was visible, and as he plunged down the slope he indulged in some coltish bucks of pure. joy. With those thirty handsome mares and cdts behind him he .could-be for given for feeling .the pride of a young heir when Jhe brings home his bride and displays her to the family. Down the Saddle BaCk they poured at a full. gallop, up the county road—the gate was open! Thunder- head made the sharp turn, the. mares following dose,; cantered; down through the stable pasture-tp the corral—again the gates ' were open! H tf poured in— It was already full of mares and .colts. AU the familiar old smells! jEvery brood mare as comfortable to him as mother’s milk! Oats and hay. The corral and stables. Ban- aner— .' Thunderhead nickeredand squeal- red in an ecstasy of homecoming. He plunged through the mares to the teed raCks and tore out a great mouthful of hay—Castle Rock Meadow hay that he had been brought up on. His mards pushed in behind him, mixing with the other mares, starting little fights and scuf fles. Banner met him in the Cmiter of foe corral. The two stallions stood nose to nose, quivering and squeal ing, half rearing. They;were filled with the excitement' that goes with foe. meeting . of old friends—and .something else, too, because of those mares and colts. They turned away from each other and began to investigate. TSunderheadls PHifoach to foe GoosS Bar mares-was the greeting of oldfriends, but it was different with Banner.

HS dropped his muzzle to feed again.'Banner continued to move Thunderltoad’s mares from where they were reed ing over into a corner of . the corral and to freeze them there. ? Thunderhead wormed himself out* of the jam. He pursued Banner and-' neighed challengingly. As the red stallion turned and faced him, they both reared' and nipped, then dropped to earth and stood quiver ing, At ThundeNiead was all foe old love for Banner, but there was another feeling too, and it- was get ting' stronger ; every instant.

It would presently find outlpt in more dan gerous actinnjfoan that The two stallions plunged past each other again and this time each aimed an ugly nip in passing. “Boss! Boss!

Nor foe panic of that voice Wheifit shouted, “Get the- whips, Gus! Bring a couple of pitchforks!” Didn’t know the arms that flailed him and beat him back with frenzied' shouts, “Turn Banner’s mares into the other corral—he’ll follow them!" Even while he plunged past foe man and reared again and Banner reared to face him and each aimed a smash ing blow over the other’s neck that landed like a dull tounder-dap, ha had to take care to avoid this man who lashed his head.and face with a whip, who hung, yelling, on his hal ter, who interfered in every pos sible way with his fixation, who flung his whole weight and heft against him, turning him, while the other man turned Banner. . . .

And he knew the two faces as they appeared through the driv-- ing flakes—the round pink face with the gray curls framing it—and the long dark face with the white, teeth showing in a wind-beaten snarl— He knew the smell of them, but net this other smell of consternation—this smell .of shocked horror. Nor the panic of that voice when* it shouted, "Get the- whips, Gus! Bring a couple of pitchforks!” Didn’t know the arms that flailed him and beat him back with frenzied’ shouts, “Turn Banner’s mares into the other corral—he’U follow them!” Even while he plunged past the man and reared again and Banner reared to face him and each aimed a smash ing blow over the other’s neck that landed like a dull thunder-clap, he had to take care to avoid this man who lashed his head and face with a whip, who hung, yelling, on his hal ter, who interfered in every pos sible way with his fixation, who flung Ms whole weight and heft against him, turning him, while the other man turned Banner. . . .

"Where is he now?” she asked. "I’ve got him shut into tha stable." “Pd like to see him. I’ll go up after supper.” "You will not!” As he turned toward her, snatch ing the towel from the rack, and drying bis hands violently,-she saw the wildness, in his eyes. She said nothing more but set the supper on the table, and as Rob went to his place, he leaned over- and kissed her and said contritely, "I can’t let niy darling be doing such reckless things .as that at this late stage of the game.” Why is that reckless, thought Nell, then suddenly asked, "Where’s Ban ner?” The frenzied look Rob flung at her opened up to her understanding the whole scope of this predicament.

Ander son, of Charlotte* a native of Davie County, and president pf. die FBI National Academy Associates, Gntwed at the Postoffice^in Mocks- Kas been named by U, S. Attor ney General Tom Clark as one of the national advisory panel to study die upsurge i n teenage crimes. Thefirst of a series of discussions was held in Washing ton last week. Chief Anderson is a son o f J. G; Anderson and the late Mrs. Anderson, of die Center Community. Mrs. Ander son is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs, R. S, Powell, of R. I. For many years he was chief of police in Winston-Salem, but resigned his position there about three years ago to' accept a similar position in Charlotte. The Record is always glad to see our boys forging to the front. Leading Democrats in this sec tion declare that they don’t want Truman for president for an other term. One leading Demo crat told us a few days ago that he was hoping Stassen, a Fepablican1 would be our next president. So mote it be. W e hear over the radio that die price of butter is going to be boost ed so the cows will give more milk. Seems to us that the cost of living should be reduced’ instead of in creased. Maybe that biinch of politicians in Washington haven’t found out that the war is over. BirtUay Party A surprise birthday party was given by Miss Loudetta Broadway for her sister, Miss Ivey Inell, on Fdbnmry 9th, at her home on R. 4, honoring her 16th birthday.

Delightful games were enjoyed and refreshments served. Many lovely gifts were received. L and posters a t this office. W onder what those folks are thinking now who were told dur ing the last campaigtf, that their roads would be worked and im proved if they would, vote for Gregg Cherry for- Governor in stead of supporting Ralph Mc Donald? Political promises like pie crusts—easily broken. Farmers report that soil roads in Davie Couhty have been in worse condition this winter than in die past 25 years. Something has got t» be done about our soil roads before another winter rolls around Governor Cherry promised good roads during the past c paign. if we are not badly mis taken. Promises are like pie crusts —easily broken. So far as we know Davie Coun ty hasn’t a Republican candidate for Solicitor. Our present Solici tor, Hon. Avalon E. Hall, of Yad- kinville, has filled this position with honor to himself and his party for the past eight years. W e don’t know whether he will be ' a candidate to succeed himself in the coming primary or conven tion. It is said that there are several W orld W ar No. 2 Veterans who have the political bee buzzing in their bonnets and will be in the race for sheriff and clerk of the court in both the Republican and Democratic party th i s spring. Well, the boys did the fighting in foreign lands for us while we re mained at home. They deserve some of the pie after dodging shot and shell in foreign lands. Never in the history of this country has there been as many strikes as at the present time. W e are glad Tom Dewey is not the Chief Executive. It is up fo' President Truman to do some thing about the strike situa tion. Had Dewey been president with conditions as they are today, every Democrat in the country who knows how to cuss, would be cussing him from- early m om to dewey eve. The name of Clarence E. Crav en, ofle of Davie’s young war ve terans, who , recently returned; from two years service in the European theatre, is .being 'm en' tioned as a candidate for sheriff on the Republican, ticket.. ;Mr. Craven is in his 52nd year, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. G. L Craven, of this dty; H e served for more than three years in the armed forces and attained die rank of Staff Ser geant.

SBlQflCE B U R E A U EDITOR’S NOTEiThis newspaper, through special arrangement with the Washington Bureau of Western^ewspaper Vnion at 1616 Eye Street, JV. Wr, Washington, D. C., is able to 6ring readers this weekly column on problems of the veteran and serviceman and his family. Questions may be addressed to the above Bureau and they will be answered in a subsequent column. No replies can be made direct by mail, hut only in the column which will appear in this newspaper regularly. W hen W ill VeW Return? .The' Washington office of Western Newspaper Union has received scores of letters from parents, wives, sweethearts and friends of men in service, all asking when their loved ones will get out of the service. We.cannot answer these let ters with’any degree of accuracy because there is no way of ascer taining when men with a given number of points in a*given theatre will be released. There are too many circumstances wRich must be con sidered in any particular area. Here, however, is the promise of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, made In his recent address before a joint session of congress January 15, as regards enlisted men: “By April 30, 1946, all enlisted men, except volunteers, with 45 points as of September 2, 1945, or with 30 months’ service as of April 20, 1946, will be separated- from the army or aboard’ ship returning home. “By Jime 30, 1946* alt enlisted men, except volunteers, frith 40 points as of September 2, 1945, or with 24 months’ service as of June 30, 1946, will be separated from the army or aboard ship retuniing home.” General “Ike” further said that whether this rate o{ discharge can be . maintained depends directly upon the rate of replacements or inflow into the army. So this com mitment is limited to July I, 1946. ^ Q uettiotu and Answ ers Q. I am a widow of World War n with one child. I ,drew an allot ment for myself an&baby until he was killed in action in the navy. His insurance was made to his par ents and neither the baby or I was mentioned in the papers. Now bis parents are drawing this. Is there any way for me to gut this or any part of the insurance?—Mrs. O. M. C., Crossville, Ala. ; A. There is no way for you to ob tain this insurance if you were hot named as beneficiary, unless parents of the serviceman are willing to share with you. You, however, are entitled to a pension for yourself and baby. Q. Would it be possible for a vet eran’s widow who Is receiving a Spanish American war pension of $30 per month, to exchange it for a World War ,pension to which she is also entitled? How would she go abont making the exchange?—B. M. D., Elk Mills, Md. A. Yes, the veterans’ administra tion says it is possible. Consult your nearest regional ,veterans’ admin istration office, probably at Hich- morid or Baltimore. t Q. We had a nephew who was in the army in the Philippines when war was declared. He was taken prisoner and died in a Jap prison cimp in Jnly, 1942. He did not carry insurance. His mother is a widow and is she entitled to receive any compensation? The boy’s father was a World War I veteran and died in 1930,—His Aunt, Watsontown, Pa. A. I would say that the widowed mother, if she was dependent upon the veteran, is entitled to a pension. However, she should file a claim, with the nearest office of the veter ans’ administration, probably at Philadephia or Pittsbuygh, - and they will determine her eligibility. 'Q. My son has been discharged from the army;. He entered service February, 1941. Is he entitled to the pre-Pearl Harbor ribbon? He was en titled to thrjee bronze stars, but only one was shown in his discharged Is there some way this can be put’on his discharge and where can I ob tain tbe information?—Mrs. W. M. J., Parvis, Miss.- A. For answers to both questionis write to the Jbffice of the adjutant general, enlisVed personnel, war de partment, Washington, D. C. Q. My husband has one child and has been, in the marines since Au gust, 1943,.and overseas since Jnne I, 1945. How many points does he have? He {Is in Peiping, China. When can X expect him home?— Mrs. D. H.; S., Lewisburg-, Pa. * A. As of September 2, your husband has 38 points. He is not likely to be home, soon since. the marines are screening all low point men and regulars out of units sched uled to return-., home. soon.. Kfty points are-necessary for discharge. Q. I hav4 had three years in the army. Bec'eived my honorable' discharge in the fall and pnt in a <;latan for trouble with my ankle, also ton sils. Received my notice: for exami nation .in December, x-rays, etc. As yet I haven’t heard from them.-Am I eligible fol^a disability pension? —D. H. W., Saiisbiiry, Md. A. It may take several weeks for the veterans' administration to catch up with your claim. They will even- ually, however. There is a shortage of manpower in all-veterans* admin istration" offices. Keep writing or calling the office where you filed. — "IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL, SUNDAYCHOOL i_es$on By HAROLD U LUNDQUIST, C. D.Of The MoodyBibte Institute of CWcago. Released by western Newspaper Union. Leuon foi Febniuuy 24 . Lesson subjects and Scripture texts ye- iected and copyrighted by International Jtauncil of ReUgloua Education; used by permission. WHAT MAKES A PEOPLE GREAX —RELIGION IN THE HOME LESSON TEXT: Deuteronomy 6:4-12. MEMORY SELECTION: Every day ,w» I bless' thee: and I win praise thy name (or ever and ever.—Psalra 145:2. . . Home, church, school and the state—these are Uie four institutions which determine the greatness of a people—and the most influential of all is the home. What a child becomes under the nurture of the home will determine nis interest in the church, his atti tude toward school, and eventually, his value as a citizen of the nation. How tragic then that we are giving to little attention to our American homes! Hie religious life of the home is the most important element of its activity, for it is the determining fac tor in the life of the child. It is Sn the home that the child’s^rhole ex istence centers and from which he Keceives the repeated impressions, Say by day, which determine char* acter and destiny. It is in the horn* that the parent has the opportunity to demonstrate, the reality of the faith professed in the church, a&i to show the child that Christianfty really counts in the ordinary experi ences of life. Three things appear in our lesson as characterizing the religion of the home. L Worship (w. 4, 5). Twice a day the orthodox Jew re peats the words of these verses: namely, at the Ume-Iof1Prayerf morn ing and night. They remind him of. bis personal relationship to God, and they recall one. of God’s primary reasons for calling Israel, to be his people. They were to be . a national witness to the one true God in the midst of the almost universal wor ship of many gods. They were to stand for monotheism in the midst of polytheism! So important is the complete de votion of man—and that brings in the whole family—to God that when. Jesus was asked what was the greatest of all commandments (see Mark 12:28-31), he named this pas-’ sage together with Leviticus 19:18. Nothing should take precedence over the true worship of God In our hearts, and in the hearts of all those we hold dear in our households. The Eternal One, the Source Of Life, the All-Powerful One,' - he; is - “our God” (v. 4) and he,,looks to us for complete and constant devotion to him. Let us give it!’1 II. Instruction (vv. 6-9). It was not enough that these words should be repeated in some regular or formal worship, but they were to be taught to the children in the home with all faithfulness and diligence— and by the parents. We are far too eager to delegate the teaching of our children to others. In religious matters it is the church and the Sunday, school which are responsible. Many parents do not even take their boys and girls to the house of God. TTiey just send them. Mark it well,- such parents are delinquent in their duties to God and to their families. But our vital point .is this—it is the business of the home to teach religion, to do it regularly, and to make it a normal andnatural part of daily life. . This is a matter of great signifi cance. The faith which we profess in the church must be effectively brought into the home. It is not enough to carry a Bible on Sunday. It should be in use in the hpme throughout the week; not only in family worship, but in the incidentals of daily life. The family altar has gradually disappeared, and it is. regrettable that it has, for the testimony of gen erations indicates that ' in family worship some of the most useful men and women of all ages have received the direction of life which made them great for God. III. Remembrance (w . 10-12). . Israel had a history full of themagnificent mercies of God. 'In the, day when,-by his help and: blessing they -were to be established in their land, they were to recall his bless ings1 and recognize his' goodness. I Therej are few, if any,: more powerful incentives to'faith and ^coura geous living than, the remembrance of past blessings. ; To recall how God - made it possible for ordinary men and wonlen to, by faith, subdub king doms, quench the fires- of ^persecu tion, turn back the armies of aliens, to. become strong in tlie. Oiidst of weakness (read Heb. 11) is to make one: ready for the battles of life.' E^ery family has its dark and trying days, its expediences which rock one'back off'his heels in aston ishment a»d fearf-and in the Chris- ti&h.. family Goiluhas always been the answer—the solution to every problem, the provider for every need. Keep such memories fresh in .the thinking of-boys and girls and they will be ready for Uie storms of life.

Arkmstt Produce I Tfet family (sot the state) is the Social and economic unit in the !United States. Ut this respect our •ountry stands almost alone. !France went collectivist in the au tumn election. England went collectivist last August. Russia has bees collectivist since shortly after JVorld War I. Germany and Japut 'are no longer powers. America is the. one powerful stronghold of lib erty for the individual. Old-world politicians glibly pre dict that Uncle Sam will be next to follow Russia’s example, but they don’t know America. Income per person here is twice that of any oth er country. Even before the recent 'war, industrial wages in America were twice as high as In England; four times as high as in Russia. Our national income was bigger than that of any six other countries you pick ’em. A Relative Matter In its early stages, communism 'always is perfumed with a savor of freedom — freedom, from some thing. Britain has more liberty than France today; France more than Russia. Even the Russians !may feel better in a delirium of paternalism than butchered by re- peated revolutions, but that’s not saying much. A convalescent can be better than an invalid but still not be envied by a well man. England used to have free, pri vate enterprise but the government tinkered with it until it was no long er free. Taxes squeezed corpora tion profits until the owners could Siot keep their plants modem. As a result, volume could not grow and !wages could not rise. The unhappy ,workers finally gave the nation a staggering swig of Russia’s political Vodka and elected a state-owner- ship parliament. , An Invalid Republic : France, the world’s habitual bat tle ground since Caesar, had an other problem. Her small business men and farmers (many of them, at least) preferred open competi tion but the country’s capitalists 'were bankrupt by years of German occupation. To get going after the war, the French submitted to gov- Orhment, the only power with au thority, to assemble the needed cap ital and set up credit to do buai- No such difficulties face the 'American people. Ourfactoriesare Still financed, can yet keep modem. Our land has harbored no pirate army. This nation has little to fear but. cheap labor; not here, of course, but abroad. Collectivism means cheap labor — wages Uni term and low. Such countries can imitate American products, make them poorly and sell them cheaply sight in America if we permit. . Forget the Tariff ! TUs same set of facts has been Bresmted by people plugging for a high protective tariff but teat’s only a crutch. The modem, 16-cylinder Bieteod for beating cheap-labor !competition ,is to produce. Amer icas skilled workers using Amer ica’s coftiy machinery can turn out any manufactured product, in bet ter quality and at a lower cost .than 'ts possible In a cheap-labor situp. There is a collectivist theory that teamifacturers will make too much jprofit tor the good of society unless their workers slow down production. Tt is not true. No friend of Labor will put any obstruction in the way of maximum production because it it the road over which men must march to better wages and higher living standards. It is also tills na tion's escape from collectivism which brings slavery. Party Dress Aid To Victory Loan SStec Dress-up school dances call for ' frocks.

Tnmry Dtfartmni L O O K IN G ABSAO GEORGE I BENSON PiitUitl-MtHtttf ft HttqhMAttttt All to Qais Strikes In the automobile InSustrr since V-J Day have cost the nation half a bQlion dollars In purchasing power already this year . .-. ana none of the Mg threatened strikes have occurred: This is the sub stance M a statemimt made to the press late in October by George Romnqr of the Automobile Maim- faeturers Association, in a position to speak ter tee whole industry. In his supporting statements, Ur. Romney quoted figures which he Ie able to get In advance of any other news source. He declared that, co account of strikes'In the plants of suppliers and makers of automobile parts, 150,000 fewer cars will be sold this year. Anybody old enough to drive a car knows this means 150 million dollars less money spent ter ears this year. Everybody Hurt Cars on the road are a symbol of money in circulation; people going places and spending. Hotels, health resorts, oil stations and motor maintenance shops are having busi ness turned away from them by disputes. Prosperity follows the pro duction of things useful and desir able for people who buy. Probably no useful thing enjoys a greater popular demand today than the automobile. The strike, during the progress of America’s worst war, actually re tarded military production. Chfr generals said it hindered tee deliv ery of machines and munitions to help America’s fighting men win battles. And now Ifisintertering with the chances of those same men ter 'getting steady jobs at good pay aft er they have finished winning the war. This is tee road to economic ruin. ' Let Wages Advance Speedy recovery is more impor tant to the American people now than any money consideration or any point of pride being contended. I am a man of relatively small earn ing and I believe I can speak for millions of Americans who don't care how high wages go so long as they don’t upset national economy. Moreover my faith in working men makes me believe they. want no wage scale that will destroy jobs. Ever since tee automobile busi ness grew out of its awkward age, it has operated on sound American principles: (I) Large investments In equipment, (2 ) more output per worker on account of the Invest ment, (3) lower prices per car be cause Cf the big output, (4) more sales because of tee low prices, (5) bigger profits because of the vol ume sales, and (6) higher wages made possible by more profits. Minutes Matter Now The demand for automobiles is such today that car production per worker might exceed all records and still not satisfy the public ap petite tor new rolling stock. Until production rates dwarf all previous records, there is no visible limit to the earning power of a skilled auto mobile worker. But there is the rub I An enemy intervenes. The strike has thrown a brake on pro duction. A war-impoverished world is lock ing to the United States to win "a hard game. Uncle Sam has passed the ball to Detroit, and it is' down— on the second yard line. Invest ments, yes; production, no! The opposition’s squabble-play can de feat us. America has everything it takes to win but teamwork. Why not produce now to meet the needs of a desperate public, with the disputes to be settled IaterT ‘Office PaV Is Aid to Savings Made in warm winter colors or black, this design Is smart In wool flannel or jersey.

Jhhtitt GiinsandSuch Revolutions come from abuses of power, not from the normal use of it. I am not talking about wars in' particular. AU kinds of revolution ary developments fit themselves into much the same pattern. Itwouldbe hard to find a better Ulustration than the one presented by America's be wildering canon of statutes on the subject of firearms—their possession and use. Guns are violent. They make men formidable. They add to tee force of people who own and understand teem. 'In some states, citizens walk unmolested In the street wearing side arms. In other states, any res ident must buy a permit if he wants to keep his great-grandfather’s "Revolutionary' flintlock” at home In a glass case. The difference is no political whimsy. Matier Of Abuse It would take a big book to tell why guns are prohibited in some sec tions and winked at in others. H thi whole story were told, however, it would add up to this: Wherever tee right to own arms has been abused, an indignant public sentiment has welled up demanding laws against them, enacted and enforced. With out popular approval it is hard to enforce any law, wise or otherwise. A few days ago J wrote a predic tion that the American people some day would rise up and enact laws requiring compulsory arbitration of labor disputes. SinceIpennedthose lines I have been in several states and talked with men who are close to Ihe--PUblic pulse. Almost all of them snare my fears as well as my slender hope that compulsory arbi tration never comes. Need Never Happen Outlawing strikes, a threat plain to see, would be an unnecessary calamity. No detail of human free dom should be sacrificed‘to anything but public safety. Strikesl Iteeguns, have their uses. U outlawed, all working people (not unions only) will suffer a setback; lose the gains of many toilsome years. If I might ad vise Labor, I would say, "dean your gun and put it away.” Don’t make such action necessary. Civilization has made-progress at times by force of arms. Just so, a large group of people have made wholesome advances by force of the power to strike. Bring disarmed would weaken them, and they are likely to be disarmed because the public is weary Cf violence. The war is over and peace has problems that can’t be solved by rattling sabers or carrying banners in torch parades. Hear Henry WaIIaee Writing about pressure groups in Ms recent book,'"50 Million Jobs,” Secretary WaBaee said: “Any one group can, tor a timfc, get a larger share of tee national income but it doesn't work when all try it at the same time. ' Sooner or later the pres sure game will Mow up In our faces. TMs is . . . practical arithmetic. IhiIesa we Ieam it, our future is black indeed.’’ Elseiteere he wrote: "Bi labor- management cooperation lies the very hope of. . . jobs. With mutual understanding between labor and management, in the difficult years ahead, we stand our best chance of getting good wages for labor, good prices for the farmer, stable profits tor business men and a higher stand ard of living tor those who need it most.’ Btenry Wallace is a friend of Labor, but he foresees danger. Fair Play Unequal advantages In, any kind of contest spoil tee sport for most Americans. A sense of fairness is deeply rooted In our people. Some times a champion athlete is not a popular favorite because the fans suspect some mysterious advantage that makes him invincible. Actually exposing crookedness in a profes sional team is ell it takes to bank rupt the dub, because fairness is cardinal. . Practically'' afl forms of competi tion take on the features of a game in this country; business and poli tics are no exceptions, it ..has been said that "all’s fair in love and war,” but It might be said another way: When emotions. overcome reason, people forget to be fair. The contestant who sets all worked up re grets it because his public turns against him if he is unfair. Piffinlar DeeIshm The public has taken a hand occa sionally in the bput between those heavy-weight contestants, Capital and Labor. Until very recently, La bor was the popular favorite, and the choke was sane. The laborer has bean, "the man ea the bottom” In many lands tor countless years and sympathy tor the under dog is a hu man trait. But this generation of Americans has seen the tables turn. Labor in the United States is not the under dog—far from it. Every mature person, who has given the subject any thought at aB, knows that Capital is no match tor Labor in this country new. Labor has a dub that management can’t use; tee strike. What is even more, manage ment has no weapon that will ap proximately match it in force and violence, and has no defuse from It. Times Are Changed There was a time when an employ er could fire a competent workman for voting wrong. AstrawbMsonce could dismiss a female subordinate for resenting his overtures. Intelli gent persons were Ietoutfifr express ing g u ard discontent over long hours, low Wages and unwholesome surroundings. It was disgraceful. It w u also a long time ago. It was not fair. The public resented it and it stopped. P u d e still remember those days. Noboter cares much now if employers have to hire whom the union says hire, pay what the unton says pay, and Mow tee whistle by the uniu official’s watch. But there it some thing that the public does care about, namely strikes. W hu a home own er’s family shivers In a edd house for w u t of fuel he is anxious to buy, he finds out why. Unfairness Shews. In finding out why, people discover Labor’s unequal advantage. John Q. Public might not frown u a strike over wages or hours, but he gets plenty huffy doing without necessi ties while somebody retaliates a grievance—or while m u sit idle, try ing to force a point that might bet ter be Mttled peaceably, settled with bote shifts working and business go ing on u usual. StrBws are violent u d unfair and the public dislikes them. Destructive as arson, they hurt many people instead of one. I am a lifelmg friend of Labor, and I predict that tiie strike will bis outlawed Iqr popu lar indignation. The lockout u d the blacklist were so outlawed. Peaceful ways to settle industrial disputes- exist now. Unlessteayaxe used voluntarily, we c u look tor tee public to create some compulsory method.

Love to dll Yam rIn vestm en t Im A m eriea* ** Better Roads Wimtef O ur cross country county toads have collapsed in the recent few weeks. They are next to nothing in die way of roads. W e have known for a long time that most of die money was being speut on our main highways in N ordi Car olina. H ieH ighw avDepartm ent is letting contracts now for such projects. Several contracts have been let for straightening and wi dening. Now this is fine for the tourist, for the ridi,for the motor freighr lines. But-die pnain ob ject of a government is supposed to be to serve its deopie, not just a few, The people need roads— improved and usable year-around roads out where they live. They need roads so die school buses can operate, roads on which they can haul their produce to market, toads for milk trucks,' roads for mail deliverv, roadc to their chur ches, and roads out to die super highways. Itssem s diat the high way folks have always managed to side-step a road up thejYadkin River. This, and many other roads in Wilkes County need stone and gravel, .of which we have a plenty. Mix this stone and gravel with tar-asphalt; it would give our people year-round toads. The State of N orth Carolina has the money. The people in dee counties paid into the State treas ury the funds and they have a right to its benefits. The ‘'blue print and specifications” are as slow as molasses in cold weather. Get something done, and We don’t want it all d °n e. in eastern N ordi Carolina. W e ought to spend sixty million dollars on se condary roads in the State. It would be. die best money ever spent.—Wilkes Husder.

Taylor has returned to his position' as Ambassador to die Vatican. -The excuse in first send ing him there was that this coun try needed to be in dose touch with die Pope in order to formu late plans for peace. The real reas on that he was sent there and that he has now returned is ex- acdy the same—Roman Cadiolic votes. Mr. Truman in sending an Ambassador to the headquar ters of die powerful religio-politi- cal kingdom has turned his back on one of the cardinal prindples of die Baptist denomination. In sending Mr. Taylor : back to the Vatican he proves himself first and last and always a time-serving politician. In order to get Taylor out of die Vatican it may be ne cessary for the South to change horses again. It is a foregone con- dusion that die Democratic party has been weighed in die balance and found wanting in courage to live up to a great principle at die expense of a solid block of votes. The patience of a''large and grow ing number of people has about readied die point of exhaustion. Southern BgptistB have taken die lead in protesting against the vio lation of the principle of church and state as exemplified in an Ambassadorship to the Vatican. They, however, are not alone; Mauy Protestant bodies are on re cord as opposing th?t blatant vio lation. W hen these Protestants begin to register their convictions with votec instead of pious, mean ingless resolutions something is going to happen. The President has been weighed'tn the balance and has been found wanting. The Protestant bodies of this country are now in those same bidances. W ill they also be found wanting? —Charity and Children. It Gets Worse An indication of the seversitv of the housing shortage is the demand for prefabricated houses- A con cern at Hickory was reported to be making them and calls for houses came from all parts of the country, some from California. However, thev were only for local needs, it iappeared. If you bad a million of them you coaid sell them. < Did you know tbat when people die there are inquiries for the botise before the funeral is held? Will it be for rent) Wben could it be seen, or that is rarely necessary. It is snapped up sight unseen. People are living over garages in backyards, in two rooms, in one room, in half a room. The winter spots that used to spend money begging people to come on and staiy awhile are now often asking them to stay away; there's nowhere to sleep. The explanation is simple. Prac tically no-dwelling units were con structed during, the war, or since. It might have been foreseen tbat tlje 10,0 00,000 War veterans would be coming hack and want a place to live, and that other millions would grow up in the 1941-45 pe riod, m any and start families and want a home for them. Nobody figured on that, it seems. -rCiiirlotte O bsefw . An X mark after your name mean* you owe us.

GRANT, Attorney. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVIIXE. N. C. U AMERICA’S OIL TWINS WASHINGTON. — Many senators believe that the confirmation row over charming Ed Pauley as under secretary of the navy has taken on new significance now that Sec. Harold Ickes has offered Ralph Da vies the job of under secretary, of the interior. It happens that Davies and Ed Pauley are bosom friends. Both are oil men. Both have followed the policy of "scratch-m y-back-I’ll- scratch-yours.” This is important. Recently, Secretary Ickes, who has a crusading record for guarding the nation’s resources, recommended to President. Truman that naval oil reserves be transferred from the navy to the interior department. It was just such a transfer by Al bert K. Pall in the Harding admin istration that resulted in the teapot dome oil scandal. No motive is attributed to the Ickes proposal except that of safeguarding oil. In fact, some people consider it significant that his proposal happened, to coincide', by luck or otherwise, with the nomination of Oil Man Pauley to be under secretary of the navy. But what senators consider impor tant is that, with Pauley’s friend Ralph Davies offered, the job of Under secretary of the interior, the navy’s oil lands, no matter where they are located — in interior or navy—will be partially under Pauley or a friend of his. MEXICAN OIL DEAL Relationship between Davies and Pauley has been extremely close. Davies was executive vice president of Standard Oil of California. Pauley sold him his own independent oil company. Later Pauley brought Davies to Washington, introduced him to Ickes, following which Davies became Ickes’- deputy oil administrator. He did a good job. However, state department offi cials say he continued to look out, for Ed Pauley. When Pauley was trying to lobby his high-octane Mexican gasoline plant, through the government, it had to pass the hurdle of Secretary Ickes’ petroleum administration. Davies okayed it — not only okayed it, but pushed it vigorously. At first Ickes also gave it his blessing. The state department, however, was vigorously opposed. Showdown came in a secret ses sion between Ickes, Davies, a Da vies aid, and the Assistant Secretary of State Dean Acheson. The full story of tins session was never really told at the senate hearing. Acheson opened by giving Ickes a very careful diagnosis of why the Mexican high-octane gasoline plant should not be built by Pauley. He took up point after point, his main argument being that the Mexican government would have to pay such a high price to Pauley that if woidd sour U. S.-Mexican relations. After Acheson had finished, Ickes turned to Pauley’s friend, Ralph Davies, and asked: “Why didn’t you tell me these things?” “I didn’t know them either,” replied the red-faeed Davies. Then, turning to his aid, he alibied: "Why didn’t you tell me these things?” Ickes immediately reversed him self, threw his weight against Paul ey. That is the real inside of how •the Pauley octane plant for^Mexico was stopped; Davies, of course, is an able, intelligent operator, too in telligent not to have known - the main joints of the Pauley plan. Pauley is equally able. He would be. a good executive almost anywhere. But some*'senators want to think twice before putting these oil twins near the head of two departments controlling the* oil reserves of the- nation. PRESIDENTIAL HDMOR President Truman has been taking recent criticism in excellent hu mor. The other day he' was talk ing with a group of friends and said:. “Apparently, no matter what I do Pm always in the middle. I say something about Palestine, and the Jews and the Arabs holler. Labor and capital get in a fight, and I am in the middle. The Russians and the British have an argument, and I am in the middle.” Suddenly, the President paused, walked over to the door of his office, which-connects with that of his sec retary, Matthew Connelly, and called out: . * ..' , “Hey, Matt, where can I buy a copy of Dale Carnegie’s ‘How to Win Friends and Infiuence People’?” CAPITAL CHAFF " Assistant Sec. of State Spruille Braden is being muzzled by the cau-. tious pink-tea diplomats regarding W»me sensational documents seized in Germany showing how certain Latin-American'diplomats aided the Nazis during the war. . . .

HIS seems to be as good a spot as any other to give you the various champions of 1946, Of course there may be a slight element of chance involved Sn these various nominations, but if' you combine the past performance op erations and the toture chart you can’t go far wrong. Also we reserve the right to make a few changes later on when some' of the mists- and fogs have lifted and there is more light ahead. These selections belong to the snows of winter, not the flowers of April and May nor the red and gold tints of next au tumn: Here is our prediction ,for big league baseball: American league — Joe McCarthy’s Yankees with toe Red Sox and Tigers as leading chal lengers. GrautIandRice National league—The St. Louis Cardi nals with Cubs, Dodgers and Giants close up. . At toe moment- Joe McCarthy seems to be more worried about toe Red Sox with Ted Williams, Bobby Ooerr and Tex Hughson back, than the Tigers with Wakefield and 'Greenberg hitting, plus the pitching of Newhouser, Trout, Trucks and Benton. Outside of the Cardinals," the scramble to finish In the first four :eams will be terrific, depending argely on the clubs that get the iick of Sam Breadon’s, $100,000 or naybe $150,000 worth of pitchers, to- IeIders and outfielders. I don’t mean collectively, but individual- ;y. Sam Breadon has already, sold iver $200,000 worth, of talent and he 'as something like $700,000 in toe vay of talent left. Owner Sam Bread- on wiU have a big influence on the next National league race,- Joe McCarthy, one of toe top managers of all time, is too con servative to'make any predictions. “Why I haven’t even seen such men as Dickey, Gordon, DiMaggiO, Ri> zuto, Johnson and . others in several years. How could I know what they have? AU I know is-what they were —not what they are. Remember that old song of George Cohan’s — Tt isn’t' what you used to be—it’sw hat you are today.’ ” Anyway, our first prediction stands — Yankees and Cardinals, which is no wild dash into toe un known. It-is no long shot selection. ArmyonTqpihFooibtJl As far as footbaU goes, our top nomination is Red Blaik’s Army, team. This Army team has, been: toe high spot of college football for’ toe last two years. For 1946 it wiU still have most of its stars on hand, including Blanchard, Davis, Tucker, I McWilliams, . Coulter, Foldberg, : Poole, Fuson and several new addi tions. Army’s 1946' team may be: even better than her 1944 and 1945 squads that outclassed the country.; ■ I know Oklahoma A. and* M., In diana and Alabama. beUeve ,they could have given Ariny an even scrap. Notre Dame and -Pennsyl vania felt the same way this last faff. Result against both: Army 109— Notre Dame and Pennsylvania 0. And don’t forget Amiy was under wraps. Fd pick Alabama in the south next to Army..Frank Thomas had a fine squad last fall and he 'will have a-much better team next fail. Ie has more than a few outstand ing stars coming back, plos the squad he. already has. Oklahoma A- and M.-won’t be far away with another big, fast, rugged . and experienced bunch, Bo McMil- ' Iin believes his Indiana team could give Army an, even game, but I: . doubt Indiana could -beat Alabama or Oklahoma; A, .arid. M. Michigan, if the draft doesn’t mow down Fritz Crisler’s freshmen, can be one of toe best. So' can St. Mary’s with new and bigger men coming in. Navy may rank close to Army—but not too dose. Navy will certainly be the second best team in the. east. Penhsylvama won’t be far away, the, top of the Ivy league, in a much closer run. What about Notre Dame with -Frank Leahy back? GoOd, but. not ' great. The South and Midwest'will both be strong. The East, outside of Ariny and Navy, won’t be much different. ’ The Far West still has a wide gap to close. The best pick along the Pacific will be St. Mary’s, - where Jimmy Phelan gave out one of the best coaching jobs I’ve ever seen and where Herman Wedemey: er will again be a vital factor. What : about toe two pro leagues? We’ll .turn that over to toe Delphic Oracle.: I What about boring? The two tops m the country should Ie Joe Louis i in the heavyweight division and Sugar Robinson among the welter weights: They should remain the two best ringmen . of the , year, BCan Jarii win remain toe beri chib fight er and the most popular entertainer.

UEMORY SELECTION: Thou sbatt Men Ow Lord , thy God for the *ood land which be hath given tfcee.—Dejiterooomy S:1A God is the Lord of nations as wen as of homes, and he is concerned that those, who honor him in their aomes have opportunity to serve aim in their national life. This was true in a special way with Israel, out it is also.true of us today. . Bejady: to’ enter the Promised Laid,' the people had to part with their great leader, Moses, who was not, permitted to enter. The time conies when even the mightiest <of men -fall, but life must go on and a|w leadership must be found. I. The Changed Leader (Josh. I: l-4>. I. Workers Die—God’s Work Goes On (vv; I, 2). GOd buries his workmen at the esd df their day of labor, but God’s work goes on. The people had be come attached to Moses and had learned to trust Ws IeadersUp, even though they often murmured. With nis' death . we might have assumed (hat there would be a letdown, but that was not in God’s plan. The Lord works through men. He gi«es them abilities and uses them (orchis glory, often in a way which astonishes them and others. But let them not become proud, for God has someone to take their place when they are gone. They are not ^indispensable. V 2. The Need Is the Same, So Is the Blessing (w. 3, 4). ' The promise given to Moses was Atiil good. God’s promises are al ways good. They are the only really stable thing in a trembling universe. The question is, Are we ready to take him at his word? . They were‘to step out by faith. The land was promised to them jply as the sole of their foot should tread Upon it. Israd never took out the full promise of verse 4. They lacked faith. God honors those who believe him and who move forward Iqr faith to plant the foot of spiritual conquest in'new territory. Some are doing it now. Are we? The enemies of God’s people were many and mighty, but they were not able to stand in the' way of God’s people when they were moving for ward for him. Here again, Israel tidied. They did not drive them out, because Aey did not take God at his word. The application of that truth to us is obvious. n . The UnehangiAg God (Josh. 23: 1-11).. BetWeoi oiir first scripture and this -sdection..win bei. found the his tory of the conquest of the land (at least of the larger part of it), and the’’division of the territory between -.the ,tribes. - -Years have passed'.quiokly, and the new. leader, Joshua, is how an -old.man,'soon1 to go to his reward. He gathers the elders 'who repre sented the people and gave them good counsd for the days ahead, even As he. recalls the blessings of the past I. God Did Hdp (w . 1-3). Israel had been in many hard bat tles. They had gone through the tri als of pioneer days in a new and' unfamiliar land. Now they were., established and at peace. Perhaps' they Were recalling their mighty ex-! ploits.: and, their own sacrificial. ef-‘ forts. - Joshua reminds them that it was' God who fought for them (v. 3). We need just such a reminder in our land today. I ; 2. God Will Help'(w. 4, 5). Joshua had a word of encouragement for the days' ahead. There was much yet .to be done. . The. land had not' been fully taken. He reminded them of God’s hdp in the past, so that they would depend on it in the fu ture.' - • -■ It is one mark gf a great man that he looks beyond the end of his own short existence and plans for the future. What about the future? Joshua reminded them, that every blessing they bad received, every victory they had Won; everything had come from the hand of God. . There and there alQne was.,their, hope for the future. And it was enough! ? 3. Help Yourseif (w . 6-11). To keep true in the'land- where their,’ neighbors engaged in idol worsUp aiui.all mamier of immorality re^- quired definite action on the part of IsraeL ' . i - They were not to deviate in the slightest from God’s way, “to the, .Fifht hand or- to'-the l^t” (v. 6), for';a littie. ibegiiuiing in the Wrong direction winds .up in AWfiil departure from'him. | • They were 'not even to swear by> the heathen ,gods, not even to men tion them. . They were to. “deave". to the Lord, a graphic presentation at the dose relation between God: and his peopU. ' ! . There ,are many thoughts here; which can be profitably applied to our daily lives. Faith in God calls' tor 'stalWArt Action and separated living for him.'

We Why Do They Leave The FamHy Farm ?, A T LONG LAST, so your home town reporter believes, some thing may be done about getting at the basic and underlying reasons why American rural life is breaking up in these United States.And immediately I can envision the raising of eyebrows from many individuals and leaders of farm or ganizations. “ What do you mean, breaking up?’.’ they will all ask, and then they start pointing . . . pointing to good roads, to 4-H clubs, Future Farmers organizations , . . to farm bureaus and granges' and farm unions, to co-ops, to consolidated schools, to rural electrification, to many, many newly won farm con veniences. They point to all these things, and more, and they are ail good for farm fife. - Members of the congress who rep resent the so-called farm bloc spend their time listening to these farm pressure groups and pushing through the legislative mills bills intended for the advantages of the farmers. I read their speeches. Con gressman John W. Flannagan Jr. of Virginia, one of thfi outstanding battlers for agricultural legislation, made a speech before the American Farm Bureau Federation in Chi cago and listed eight “musts” as necessary to place American post war agriculture on a firm basis. But in no place in Mr. ’Flannag'an’s speech are there answers to the two factors which are breaking down rural life in America. What’* the Trouble? Why, with all these things being done, is there a steadily diminish ing rural population? ! Why is there such a larger pro portion of rural youth physically un fit than in other strata of our na tional life? There have been attempts to -make general answers to these two ^questions . . . technological devel opment . . . power machinery . . . greater yields per acre, but there has been no basic research up to this point, in an attempt to ‘find the real answer. Farm leaders are concerned . . . ■economic, industrial and spiritual 'leaders are concerned . . and as a result there has been in the process of formation during the past year the Foundation for American Agriculture. Its organization is now complete, its research under way in several fields' and to steer its progress it has obtained the serv ices of Charles Dana Bennett. That name . . . Charles Dana Beimett . . . conjures up a long line of writers, artists, publicists, Correspondents, publishers — who have made history in America. Food Proeeetore lntereeted Upon its board of ,directors, the foundation has the names of some of ihe “Big Business’,’ leaders of the nation, leaders interested primarily in agriculture because their business is with agriculture Quaker Qats, Swift. It Co., Balston-Purina Co., Pillsbury Mills, Sears, Roebuck and Co., and others, but it also has representatives of the various farm or ganizations, co-operatives, milk as sociations and outstanding individu al farmers and ranchers. Its work will be educational, based upon research findings. - “The Foundation for; /American Agriculture is to serve as a place for men and women to. think out their problems, rathe'r than to fight them out. ,Its job is to . create through the: processes of education, a better understanding between the people in our cities and the people in our villages aid on! our farms . . . that education will bilng this under standing and. understanding win bring, tolerance . . . o£t of tolerance comes peace and progress,” Mr. Benneti explained. » . Why doe?; a farm Sboy or farm girl leave home? Is it Ncause the nouse is unpainted, because there is no bathroom in the house, or is it the. lure of better. paid city jobs? Why do young people In the home towns move’on to the larger cities? Why do the oldsters on the farm retire to the smaller nearby .towns and, let the farm, go to tenancy? The answers to .these questions are being sought in a foundation-backed project undertaken at Iiulfordl sBid., a small rural town of about 700 pop ulation in Kosciusko cAmty. Re search has been started there under the direction of the Rev-Narry Gra ham, lecturer for the Indiana State Grange, j/ > Better Educational Mbviee . Another '-!research program has created the'sJtural FIlini Foundation. Three important factoss are being kept in mind in the 'production of these 16-mm films: (l).that they cannot be - produced on a five and ten cent basis such as many cheap rural films have been heretofore; „(2 ). that scenarios : must have gpqd HoUjk wood technique and the educational, angles- sugar-coated or worked into, the story;. and (3) they' mustcon- tain nothing objectionable to faxh# organizations. n Shrimp-Stuffed Peppers Are a Surprise(See Recipes Below) Fish Food Favorites There are quantities of fish on the markets right now.1 This food arrives often, you’ll find on investigation, more than just once a week, and you may buy it fresh, canned, and often frozen. : . Fish is a delicate food and needs only short cooking time to bring it to perfect done ness. .Broiling is a good method of preparation be cause it gives fish a crusty;, golden brown ap pearance; andso is baking because it makes preparation so easy. You'll want to use all varieties of fish to round out the diet. For, .fish is.not only good .when properly pre pared, but it’s also a fine protein food with many fine minerals. Seasonings are important because, they enhance the delicate flavors of fish itself. A touch of onion is always' in order, and. occasionally you’ll want to add parsley, chives and herbs. Here are - two’ unusually tasty baked fish recipes.. They use cereal to extend the fish, and make a fine blend when the food is baked: Crunchy Fish Scallop. (Serves 6) 3. tablespoons hotter or substitute 3 tablespoons flour 2 cups milk 1 teaspoon salt H teaspoon pepper .. 2 tablespoons onion juice' 4 tablespoons finely chopped greenpepper 2 enps. (I pound) flaked fish, cooked1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 hard-cooked eggs I cnp coarsely crushed corn flakes: 34 cup grated American cheese Make a white sauce by melting the butter, adding the’ flour and blending. Add milk, salt and pep per. Cook and stir until thickened. Then add onion juice and green pep per. - Remove bones and sldn ' from cooked fish. Flake. Arrange in greased baking dish and sprinkle with lemon juice. P la c e slic e d eggs, half of the crushed c o rn flakes' and' half ______ of the cheese on top. Cover with white sauce and top with remaining- crushed cereal and cheese. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) until browned and heated. ' Flaked Fish Pnif- , (Serves 6). 1 cup milk 4 tablespoons farina or com meal 34 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons water 2 teaspoons chopped chives or onion 2 tablespoons chopped parsley lcupcookedfiakedfish 4 tablespoons chopped celery 2 eggs 7. LXNN SAYS Use Common Sense:. Problems that every cook comes hp against every once in a while can be solved with some good, practical common, sense. Here are some examples:' ' Rolls and muffins which have become too stale to eat: can be freshened by sprinkling with water and placed in a Jsrown paper sack to be heated for about 5 minutes in a moderate oven. - Tea mixed with a littie grated orange rind will. go twice , as far, and will be delicately flavored. To use leftover egg yolks, poach them until they are hard-cooked, then grate them and use as a gar nish for. salads arid vegetable -dishes. ;v’ I . V... .' Use celery tops as a flavoring tor soups and stews. Add leftover sausajge or bacon to waffle ai)d,pancake batters: or combine with leftover potatoes (mashed), then fry.

There are scores of . -rackets being worked against veterans who get out of the army or navy with cash in their pockets, and with the privilege of borrowing money under the G.I. bill for purchase of a’farm, a home' or a business. - We won’t tell the. veteran’: what to do,- ; says N.

There are too many variable factors, so their only counsel is extreme caution. ] ' < Queetione and . Xneibere: { Q. My brother is 21 and has b^en in the merchant marine since’De cember 4, 1944.

DAYIE RECORD, HOCKSVILLE N. C.. FEBRUARY 27.19«. L O O K IN G A ffJ S A D GEORGE S. BENSON PusiiCHt-HariiHg CcUege Setrej/. Arkansas O il and M old i Aposties of government ownership ef business agree sometimes that private management can do better with tittle things. When it comes to filling prescriptions, mending shoes or making clothespins, they admit, private operators may be more ef ficient. Not so with the big stuff, they argue; coal, iron, oil, railroads are different. These just beg for bu reaucratic bossing. Of course big industries are more interesting to politicians because they employ large numbers of peo ple and affect the daily lives of mil lions more. The fact remains how ever, that government can and does make mistakes in the operation oi big industries. Moreover, appropri ate encouragement from govern ment in relatively small enterprises has been known to result in much good. Significant Decisions Since government enterprises tend ultimately to become monopolistic, mistakes in them can be far more fateful than private blunders. Our government made two important de cisions in 1942 which illustrate the case perfectly. One, to take a spec ulative flyer in Arctic oil, has cost American. taxpayers 300 million “good-bye” dollars already. The other decision had to do with penicil lin.Penicillin is a drug, a mold ex tract that most people know less about than they do about gasoline. Some perfectly astounding cures are being worked with it, including cure of meningitis. It was discovered by an English scientist, Sir Alexandei Fleming, in 1929 but production was tedious, slow and costly and conse quently few sufferers were helped by it for 13 years. In Mass Prodnction By 1942, our first war year, some American capitalists bad taken a hand with marked success. The product was costing $20 a bottle then, and the average patient re quired three bottles. Government, authorities realized that war would create a need for it so they guaran teed a large market and provided capital for mass production. His tory will record the splendid results. Witti the government’s big pur chase of this successful item, vol ume production started. Now there are 20 factories. The largest cost more than 3% million dollars but penicillin is costing less than $1 a bottle, $3 per treatment. Many lives have been saved and more will be, Mankind will be healthier and hap pier. Government encouragement oi this business proved wise and beneficial. Smell of the Xnkon ■ How different was the Canol oil venture. The Army drilled wells on the Mackenzie river, built a 27- milUon-dollar refinery at White Horse and tied'into Fairbanks, Alas ka, with 1,000 miles of' pipeline. Nothing was gained. Gasoline from the white elephant plant at White Horse costs 26c a gallon. Oil com panies can ship a better product there from the states for 18c. The Venture has been abandoned. The Canol experiment failed. Very apparent obstacles made the opera tion too costly. Known sources oi supply are better and 300 million dollars of taxpayers’ money is gone. Government’s support of one bene- ficial drug can’t justify its manage ment of big business. What official, spending public money, is cautious and thorough like a private investor with his own money?

Trtatttry Di L O O X IN O A H E A D GEORGE & BENSON Preetieit-Zfiriiif CeUefe Stittf. Atkmem Waiting? A former friend of mine, accom. panled by small son, took his well- used truck aod drove over the river to the county seat on a recent wet Saturday, He did the week’s shop ping, treated the boy to a "western'* and started home; but nol lb* toad was under rising water on both •Ides of the bridge. Retnndng to town he engaged a night’s lodging and tried to' telephone home. Serviea on his party line bad f rown steadily worse since Pearl arbor, especially on rainy days. Now the Instrument at his ear crack led like cold breakfast food and the ringing signal suggested Central .America. He feared the worst. Strangers menaced him, wanting something—the telephone maybe. At last the operator cut in with her impersonal “Waiting?” — and the farmer exploded. Congressmen likewise Most people have had such experi ences. They seem to overtake us easily when we’re waiting for advice from home. Congressmen in Wash ington know the feeling well,.I am told. They, most of all public serv ants, want to hear from home. They don’t consider themselves toilers, merely units out of far-away com munities, hand-picked to represent their neighbors who elected them. Most of our legislators are com petent and eloquent; handle their work' well, but they want to be faith ful representatives. Not pretending to know all the answers, they try earnestly to get word from the elec torate. Pressure groups menace them, wanting something — their votes maybe. Their deliberations are belittled by frantic executives saying “Waiting? What’s the delay?” What’s Zonr Pleasoraf What do you think about paying $25 a week for 26 weeks to Tom, Dick and Harry? Do you favor America’s helping the Rusdans build bigger and better atomic bombs? How do you feel on the subject of compulsory military training? Do you believe Congress should guaran tee government jobs for all unem ployed? Your representative would really like to know your wishes in these matters. , Hon. Carter Manasco and a score more congressmen recently listened to testimony for more than 30 days on the question of guaranteed jobs. They invited every citizen with an idea on the subject to come and tes tify and Mpeo&Hy urged many to appear. They were most liberal with time for preparation and time to testily. The House Committee on Executive Expenditures deserved much credit and took plenty of panning for that cautious job. Gemdna CooperatiMi It was just a year ago now Ihat sixty citizens of BatesviUe, Ark., met voluntarily to study a piece of proposed legislation about to be con sidered by the House committee of which their Washhsgton representa tive was a member. They deliberat ed thoughtfully, reached a conclu sion and mailed Hon. Wilbur D. Mills a brief statement of their .wishes and a list of their names. I wish the back-home friends of every congressman In Washfiigton would hold such a meeting soon on one or more vital national issues. It would twist the lever from the hand of pressure groups. It would dear the atmosphere along the Potomac. It would strengthen the morale of Congress, which is the individual cit izen’s only citadel from oppression.

Arinsu Initiative Iha son of a drainage engineer, who had done a great deal of super visory work with and. for his father, was Iaducted into the United States Army during the war. Before he had grown familiar with discipline he found UmseU digging a ditch to divert surface water from camp. His ; instructions had been verbal' and : reasonably plain but were not pre cise In every detail. The youth had some knowledge of soil drainage and a real interest in it, so he set about to distinguish him self with good, workmanship. When he was nearly half finished, Ius ser geant appeared, ruddy with indigna tion. Firmly the sergeant denounced the breach of discipline, going be yond orders. The recruit was con fused and made a second mistake, speaking in his own defense. OtaCfal Planning “But, Sergeant, I thought. . “Oh, you thought!” scornfully. echoed his superior. “What right have you got to think? Are you drawing a thinking man’s pay?” I Such is regimentation I The young man was not in school, where su perior work yields superior grades. He was not in business, where better work means better pay. H ew asin the army. This is not a criticism of military discipline or army efficiency. I am no military expert. I use this story to illustrate how regimentation kills initiative. By the very nature of its workings, it is destructive of progress in peaceful pursuits. In despot-ruled countries, things hap pen to all thinking civilians very much like what the young recruit experienced. Cempettttai a Bemedy In lands where authority is com pletely centralized, strict obedience to osders is Me matter of -gravest importance to private individuals. However Wise and kind the dictator, when power-hungry henchmen reach into what we Americans call private business (as invariably they do) progress is paralyzed. Farmers and all other workers learn from unhap py experience to do as they are told, period. Admittedly, parallel filings happen occasionally In private enterprise but competition correcta them. Sometimes owners ot businesses be come indifferent, live apart from their interests and tiy^to run live industries by dictum, as if methods they worked out years ago were eter nally right. These case* develop their own cure quickly. Svwy of fice and every shop of such a pro prietor becomes a hatchery eI po tential competitors. Etteteaey B aw aiM American business in general la operated with an aim to get m azt mum yield par hour el work. Ex ecutives and supervisors exist for no otiier purpose. M orayiddperhour meana better wages for workers, more profit for management ana lower prices for buyers who con sume what is produced. Hwnewest recruit on any job can get paid for an Idea that improves production. America is famous as the best plaee on earth to live. Many peo ple know it who don't know why, ta t here’s why: In America, ideas count. No matter who originates them, they have value. Anybody withrah idea is free to use It and, K IVa good, wo all benefit Thus, Americans live better than people under centrally planned systems where only the few think who are ^flldally appointed to think. King Customer Catering to the. customer has been America's most profitable and high ly diversified craft for several gen erations, and it must never stop it this country is to stay great and free. Catoing to the customer, is an hon orable and interesting activity, and there is nothing to stop it but man- made laws. May they «ewr be enacted I Certainly 1946 is no time to experiment with silly ideas. Taka the automotive industry for an example. It is probably the W tnipit Automobile men have gone to great lengths to please the American buyer. His wish for spted has been served, seasoned WMi safety. His need as to seating PaDocitv. hie taste In- design, .Ijis whBnWcolor, and (mostimpOMant) his buying power, have been taken into account. Result: . A ear for a king. Primitive Nottaa Perhaps the first time a car manu facturer decided suddenly to rip the Jhsides out of his plant and put -In hew machinery to give King Oistomer a better dollar's worth, the stockholders winced. Maybe, In that long-gone day, stockholders con sidered such expenses wasteful, but they learned better. Cateringtotiw customer is exactly what makes dividends grow bigger each year. We may imagine also that, back in the early days of the horseless carriage, some factory workers wor ried about their job* for a while aft er lower prices ware announced. ProlwUy some good workmen asked, “How long can the Ug boss keep paying us after he starts giv ing his profits to the consumer?” Theee doubters are wiser now too, same as the old-style stockholders. - Imitating Nobody Yearly better machines, more handsome and less cosily, have built Ug industries and created thousands of good Jobs. Wage earners and stockholders prospered together while shrewd management studied King Customer’s needs and met them. When the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor the United States had one automobile for every four people —one for each 1S9 people In the rest of the world. ' American manufacturers knew the route that leads to national pros perity. Just the same, they are be ing urged to turn aside and try a course.completely strange to west ern industry. It’s an old jungle road that has lost many great races in poverty. It means business servile to power. It means opening private records to be thumbed at will by partisan fact-finding committees.■ Lootdng for Whatf Such a committee will be con cerned with wages — only with wages. It will have small interest In prices of cars to the user; less in returns to investors. Its JOb will be to say what wages an employer is able to pay. Rightly, wages are determined bar a workman's ability to produce. The new concept seems to be that an employer’s saving* have a bearing on wage levels. Such a scheme would ear-mark /or wages all but a paltry share of a firm’s earnings and investors would turn away. Downwouldeoma cash reserves, plant equipment and output Quality would suffer, prices would advance and sales drop oft. PtQdng men,- not by what they pro duce but according to the employ er’s ability to pay, is the surest (if not the fastest) way to hopelessly low wages and a dog’s life for us all.
