CL- I This Is the confession of an A- tnerican modern: Onee I was an innocent, beautiful, virtuous, re ligions, amqitions girl. I went to school and had lofty ideals of do- ing big things in life. I hoped some day to have a good husband and a bappy home. I loved the church; I believed my Bible; I went to Sunday school, and was inspired to help the needy. I was much loved and admired by manv friends. Then from other folk whom I thought to be my friends I caught the ’'Repeal Fever.” I bobbed mv hair, rolled down my stockings, cut off my skirts, pen ciled my eyebrows, painted my lips and stained mv fingernails. I was made to believe that happiness de pended on my being ‘smart,’ and that only popularity, oleasnre and a sporty life were ideal; and was told that "everybody was doing this.” . After hearing the cigarette ads” on the radio, seeing them in the magazines and on billboards, and watching my so-called friends indulging, I too, was influenced to smoke, and got a ‘‘kick” out of sitting in public, puffing in other people's faces. Having lost my desire to go to chnrch; or to be with the church folk, I went with the crowds to the dance’ halts, the road ■ houses, fhe beer gardens, aud to the cock tail rooms, I soon became brazen enough to call for a drink at the bar. Soon I learned to gamble, play the races, and bad many, af ter-midnight dates. Now I have had my fling. I have been a ‘ modern girl.” My virtue is gone; my religion is gone; mv old-time good friends are gone; my beauty .is gone; my pride and holy ideals are gone. Here I am, an uglv, blear-e>ed, blotch-faced, cigarette stinking, and half crazed, drunken sot. I have repealed ev erything that was good, noole, re. fined, beautiful, moral and spiritual in mv life. The new friends I have made are as miseraole as I am. My body is diseased; my heart broken; my noble ideals crashed; my motherly iostincts dead; mv good name dis graced; my character mined; my jimbitioo gone, and my soul dam ned forever My past is evil;-, my oresent is beli; and mv future dark. Here I am waiting for death to end it all, tor I am nothing now hut just a Repeal Girl.—The Sun day School Banner. Not only is this very, verv sad and deplorable In the life of the Repeal Girl,' Lnt the saddest part is that death won't end it alt.

Majesty’s Govern ment would know in the future that tbeir aid should. be reserved f„t those who know bow to appre. date it.” America, doing the lion’s - share in relieving world famine, may also expect a few brick bats from the beneficiaries of our bounty, espe. ciatly those under Soviet control.— Exchange. _______■" Land porters at this office. Takbg Rap Oo Liqoar Issue. The Republicans of North Caro lina are now taking the rap in va rious places because it soft-peddled on the liquor question when it came to write the platform at the party’s convention here in Winston*Salem several weeks ago. This newspaper prior to the con vention stood just where it stands today—unalterably opposed to the the liquor traffic. We have seen, just like everyone else in the state, tbe Democratic liquor controlled General Assembly on several oc casions refuse flatly to allow the citizens of the state to decide at tbe ballot boxes whether liquor is to be sold legally In tbe state. We tried to get tbs Republican plat form makers to come out boldly bnt they preferred not to do so. We1 had tbe ides, that the state Democratic convention would do just what it did when it went to write its platform. We had hoped the Republicans would have the courage to stand boldly for a re ferendum and against the liquor traffic. Charity aud Children, is sued weekly by the North Caro- Iina Baptist Orphanage at Thomas- ville, and going into thousands of Baptist homes and S inday schools and churches, edited by Dr. John Arcb MacMillan, carried the fol lowing editorial recently: "We have not failed to express onr.contempt tor tbe politics of the State Legislature completely dominated by tbe Democrats. Tbe way tbe Democrats have refused so far to let the people of the state vote on the liquor question has been disgusting. Nothing could i e more disgusting unless it is the temperance plank in the Republi can platform adopted in Winston- Salem. We would have had a great deal more respect for tbe platform makers if tbey bad said nothing at all. . It goes to prsve that tbe peo. pie of tbe state canuot rely upon eitheir buneh of .politicians'for mo ral legislation. Unless tbe people rise up and threaten tbe politician with votes there will be no moral legislation. A-politician is afraid of nothing in tbe world bnt an honest vote.” , We invited that criticism and now we are getting it on all sides. We failed to do what wc .should have done We knew full. well what the Democrats were going to do on this issue and we should have faced it like men. We rather weak ly asked for a referendum hut we watered the milk down until there is no kick in it. Let’s stop being atraid to be.bold on moral issues. We rather think we deserve what the ThomasviUe paper savs about us. In another editorial in this same issue of Char tty and Children, Editot MacMil tan says. "The Republican and Democratic conventions- have been held and tbeir. platforms written and adopted. Tbe platform mem bers evidently lost sleep in trying to word their documents in order to cotch the largest possible num ber of votes consistent with ’ tbeir obedience to some of their boss who had axes to grind. ' One of those bosses who made both par ties Jance to bis music was the Ii- qnor industry. The Republicans sweated blood to say something that meant-nothing, while tpe De mocrats were scared to open tbeir mouths for fear they would offend their whiskey bosses. It really ~ is rather disgusting. Neither party suggested that the people of North Carolina be allowed to vote on the matter.” Recently we took a decided crack at the action, of the Democratic convention and now we are being fair with onr awn conscience by rapping the Republican convention New DeaFs Magic For? Fraods Against Veterans Seen Along Main Street mala Failed New Dealers attempted to solve, during the depression, the Nation’s economy problem through the ap. plication of a cure all, suggests the Mt. Vernon (Ohio) News They desperately sought some magic formula which would in stantly rout the forces of the world, wide depression and briag about national prosperity with a mini mum of effort. Their theory was that it was not necessary to work our way out of our difficulties; we could legislate and spend our way ont. In pursuit of this theory, tbe New Deal spent the taxpayers’ dol lars’ like water; they legislated in support of all sorts of strange theories. The net result was tbe accumu- tion of a tremendous debt and a dangerous disarrangement of the powers of our Federal Government. Tbemagicformula didn’t whip the depiession. It tioh a world wide war to end industrial stagna tiou and start the wheels of indus try to spinning at top speed. Despite the lessons of the de pression era, however, the depend ence on magic formulas hasn’t been dropped. The reconve sion era. is attended by almost as many critical problems as was the depression. But is the current administration, which is following New Deal poli cies in general, telling the Ameri can people they must work their way ont of these difficulties? It most certainly is not. Notable Exception It is to be observed that of the sixteen Senators who have orga nized themselves into a block to postpone the enactment of any nec essary labor legislation to save the country from tbe critical disaster of strikes against the public interest and .welfare, only one is from the South. Of course, he is Senator Pepper of Florida, who does the major part of his ranting and' railing on the floor of the Senate when some move is made, as he says, "to stab labor in the back.” ortbe caase of Rus- communism need some defense. SenatorPepper isofthc rabble- rousing category of representatives of tbe people in Washington who is out-and-out -pro Labor, first, last and all tbe time. He is a modern "Ephraim join ed to his idols” to such an Rackets against veterans have grown Into a national scandal, and to a point where the Justice De paTtment has been forced to investi gate. Tbe investigation will be welcomed not only by ex-service men, bnt by all Americans who re gard defrauders of veterans as the lowest of cbiselers. Veterans bitterly accept the fact that when they look for loans, job- training house clothes or automo biles, they may be fleeced. At torney Geueral Tom Clark pro mises to crack down on small-loan and housing frauds, but there as many other rackets that demand in vestigation. The Veterans’ Ad ministration is hunting employes who use the government’s on-job training program to get cheap la bor. The OPA is looking for black market dealers, and has sued for dealer in this area 12 times on- overcharges. Still the racket con tinues. Fortunately tbe cheats a n d swindleis are a relatively small minority, but they are not better than the thugs' who bang around Army camps to crack a GI’s head for his mustering-out pay. The Justice Department should widen its investigation to defend veterans against every type of fraud —Sr Louis Post-DispatcbL Dropping Insurance A Washington correspondent of a North Caroli a daily newspaper last week said that the National Service Lake Insurance office books show that seven out of eight discharged soldiers bad dropped tbeir insurance. Ouly one out of eight is keeping his insurance in force by paying the premium. Do they believe it is no longer to ,be desired and are not apt to lose life? In regard to no receipt for remit ting for premium, as said one ser. vice man. a postoffice Money Order receipt is all that’s necessary. An X DMtrk after your name means you owe us.

THE NAVY’S BUREAUS I WASHINGTON.—If Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal wants to ,head off the army-navy merger, he ‘might do some merging in his own !department. As it is, some of his ireserve officers are about ready to : believe the army is right.; Perhaps because the navy, is suffering from admiralitis (too many !admirals), Forrestal has set up a jspecial duplicating public relations ,co-ordinator. This bureau does ex- jactly what another bureau also ldoes. CSiief difference between !them is that one is on the first floor Kdeck in the navy), the other on the third floor) one is commanded 'by a vice admiral, the other by a rear admiral; finally, the rear ad- ,iniral takes a few hours to do a job while the vice admiral sometimes takes a few days. ! Hitherto, navy public relations ,have been handled by efficient young Rear Adm. “Min” Miller, one of the up-and-coming youngsters in the navy. If you need a speaker for.a naval rally, want to stage an air show, or have a ship visit your city, Miller usually has been able to arrange it in a few hours. But now, Vice Adm. Arthur S. Carpender, newly appointed CO- ‘ ordinator of public relations, sits In naval splendor with a staff of five senior officers, a large force of junior officers, and a small army of WAVES and enlisted men.* • « THE BALKX SWISS Insiders say that Switzerland, the little nation which posed as the be-; nign and friendly neutral, is now. displaying the same tactics as the; Capone gang in hanging on to Nazi' ■loot. The secret negotiations now going on in Washington to recover Nazi gold from Switzerland have been, carefully guarded, but it has leaked out that Switzerland’s policy is to. keep all the gold which the Germans Etole from France, Denmark, Bel gium and other occupied countries1 and sent to Switzerland for safe keeping.Like the Capone gang, the Swiss won’t retain this looted gold to France, Denmark, Bel gium and other countries from which it was stolen.Despite all this, some treasury of ficials urge a lenient policy toward- the Swiss. It happens that they have $1,500,000,000 of assets now. frozen in this country including . $500,000,000 in gold, and the French' are preparing to clap a lien on these' a s s e t s . S o m e treasury officials, however, are opposed. Not so, however, sage Secretary of the Treasury Fred Vin son, who remembers all the Swiss collaboration with the Nazis during the war. “Down in my state,” drawled the Kentncklan, "when yon bet on the wrong horse, yon pay off. j The Swiss bet on the wrong horse.”* • • VETERANS COME SECOND Yoiing GOP Rep. James G. Ful-' ton of Pennsylvania, a Pacific war vet., did some vigorous protesting' about the way veterans are being; “stood upft on surplus war goods' when he called at the White House.“Veterans are Just not getting an even break In the present - setup,” he told the President. The Pennsylvania congressman also gave Truman some inside, slants on RFC purchases of aban doned property which would war-' rant congressional scrutiny. He re-.' ported that no effort is being made to sell army and navy equipment; - piled helter-skelter in and around a Pennsylvania glue factory pur-; chased by the RFC in May, 1945,’ for use as a surplus property depot.* • » RED ARMr WITHDRAWS The inscrutable Russians have a way of refusing to do something: when asked, and then going ahead! and doing it when not asked. For; instance, Secretary of State James! Bymes has been hammering at the Russians to reduce their troops In! the Balkans, Austria and Hungary.' Among other things he has warned' that the United States won’t send food into these countries while tre-: mendous Russian armies are living' off the land, in effect taking away! the food we send in. ; Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav' Molotov, however, has turned a. deaf ear to Byrnes’ plea. He has; been just as stubborn on this as' about most things. But here is the payoff. U. S. representatives in Vienna have9 wired the state department that the Red army has started a large scale withdrawal from Austria. There is no explanation, and state department officials are mystified as to the reason.• • • UNDER THE DOME Democratic National Committee. Chairman Bob Hannegan tried to- submit his resignation to President- Truman last week-end, but was turned down cold. Hannegan’s wife; and doctor are both- urging him to resign.

W, Tram att Gained Stature Daring His F irst Y ear TUST about all, the newspapers and magazines in the country have had their say at appraising President Harry S. Tkuman after his first year in office. Your Home Town Reporter has been able during this past year to watch the President, his policies and the operation of his adminis tration from a more or less de tached viewpoint. Luckily when I attend the President’s, press conferences it is not necessary for me to rush to a phone or to my typewriter and hurriedly dash off a story of my impressions, for in covering for the weekly newspapers I have suf ficient time to deliberate over what has happened. President Truman entered the ■White House as an average Amer ican without too impressive a rec ord behind Ium at anything. He had done his stint at farming, at running a haberdashery store and at politics, and in the latter he was more successful. As chairman of the senate war investigating com mittee, he made a real contribu tion to the successful culmination of tiie war. But when he was catapulted into the presidency by the death of his predecessor, he was untried as a statesman, unknown as to his abili ties and he faced the heaviest re sponsibilities any man had ever been called upon to face. He didn’t want the job and confessed, his shortcomings, his average Ameri canism. The average American back in the home towns of the country like and are proud of our democracy be cause it gives them, as average citizens, the chance to improve and ad vance socially, economically and in-, tellectually . . . it gives them a chance to grow and better their standards of living. Prendent Hat Grown i This reporter believes that in the year the President has been in Qie ,White House, he has grown . . . grown as any other average Amer ican man would have grown . . . in his proficiency to cope with the most powerful office in the world... grown in his ability to judge men and their capabilities . . . grown under the pressure of enormous events better to make decisioiis .. . grown in his contacts with other .world leaders. But in this growth of the Prest dent he has built up no halos . . . ho traditions . . . no myths . . . no superman, he remains an average American who is growing up to his job. During our incumbency down here in Washington, we have seen successful business men with fabu lous reputations as leaders in their fields, tycoons of industry, come to Washington to take part in govern ment . . . and make miserable fail ures. Your Home Town Reporter does not believe the President has made a miserable failure. He is not a brilliant statesman . . . nor is he a great orator . '. . nor a great socialite. His voice on the radio lacks the human appeal which was so apparent in that of his predeces sor, but his speeches in cold type, matched speech for speech with the public utterances of the late President Roosevelt, do not suffer by comparison. ; He has failed in his efforts to woo the co-operation of his old col- leagued-in congress. Our observa tion has been, however, since Qie first few days of the “honeymoon" were over, congress has been more concerned with showing the Presi dent who was boss than in giving him co-operation, or considering the welfare of the American people. And that state of affairs has come about largely through reaction to the years when congress either went along willingly with President Roosevelt, or grudgingly when he used the big stick to bludgeon them into giving the people his progressive program. ‘innate Democracy Much has been made of Presi dent Truman’s oft-repeated pleas for help from the people, from in dustry, from labor, horn agriculture. He has said again and again that he cannot do his job alone. This has been interpreted by some as a weakness. But in this column’s opinion it is merely an expression of his innate democracy, since democracy after all, is only a huge ,co-operative governed by a major ity opinion. ■ President Truman has made mis takes . . . mistakes of the heart, rather than the head . . . in nam ing soipn advisors and in leaning upon their advice . . . he has con fessed his mistakes. . . he has laced defeats . . . seen his administration program emasculated and beaten, even ignored by congress. Today he is less naive, less humble, gray er, more dignified, more assertive .. . than when he went to the White House in April a Uttle more than a year ago. His smile is still spon taneous and disarmingly human. - a n d b e ®»- m P e g g y P e r s j CHAPTER I , "Miss Meggie!” It was Annie's voice lifted above the roar of a truck in the backyard. "Hit’s de feed man." “All right, Annie." Megan looked up from the desk where she was writing labels for the latest batch of canned goods. “The money’s in the old brown teapot." "Ain’ no money in de brown tea pot, Miss Meggie,” shouted Annie after a moment. “Cep’t jes’ a dime an* two pennies.” Megan sat very still for a moment and felt her heart go down into her worn shoes. Dad had found her secret cachet That was Why he had been so eager, to take advan tage of Mr. McCurtie’s offer to drive him into the county seat that morning! Annie, vast and black, loomed in the doorway. Her eyes were gentle and warm with affection. "Miss Meggie, yo’ reckin yo’ Paw —” she began impulsively, but Megan silenced her' with a glance and reached for her checkbook. Annie accepted the unspoken rebuff jgood humoredly and said helpfully, consulting a slip of paper in her hand, "Hit’s fo’teen dollars an’ six- -ty-fo’ cents, Miss Meggie." Megan nodded, wrote the check, ripped it out, and signed the slip Annie extended. Annie padded out and the door closed behind her. For a moment Megan sat still, her elbows cm the desk, her chin propped m her hands. She could have wept, and yet she tried hard to laugh at herself for the wave of discouragement that swept over her. She had been carefully hoarding Qie egg money in that old brown tea pot, to pay for feed. She had been so sure that her father knew nothing about its being there. He must have prowled—or else he had spied on her. NeiQier thought was pleasant. Megan finished the last of the labels and straightened wearily. As die went out of the small sit ting room thatSwas her "office” she glanced across 'Qie road and saw the glimmer of lights in the shabby IitQe cottage well back from the road, that was her nearest neighbor. So Alicia Stevenson had returned from her visit to AQanta. Sie knew a moment of sharp envy for Alicia’s ease and freedom from the grueling farm labor that was the lot of prac tically all the residents of Pleasant Grove. Busy with milking, a task which she Iud done so many times Qiat it was purely automatic, she found herself thinking about Alicia, The Bhabhy little old cottage across the road from the MaCTavish place had stood vacant for years, ever since Old Man Brigham had died, six months after the death of his wife. Then, late one June evening, the New York Limited, which ordinar- Uy raced through Pleasant Grove with merely a derisive toot of its whistle, had stopped and a woman had alighted, a woman of perhaps forty, smartly dressed'according to Pleasant Grove standards, and sur rounded by a sea of luggage. She had announced herself In Bums Mercantile, Pleasant Grove’s general store, as Alicia Stevenson, only child of the Brlghfims, and stated that she had come to live in the old Brigham place—at least "for the duration.” From the first, Megan had been established as Alicia’s best friend, although Megan was ashamed to admit to herself that she neither liked nor trusted Alicia. There was something about her that was, to Megan, almost sly; perhaps the rel ish with,,.which she pounced on the smallest morsel of gossip and rolled it about on her tongue and found exactly the moment to mention it when it would do the.most harm. Occasionally Alicia departed on a trip. She was 'quite closemouthed about where she was going and why; Megan suspected that Alicia liked being "a woman of mystery,” and that it fed her sense of impor tance to know that people wondered where she went, and why. Annie Megan finished the milking and she and Amos took the brim ming milk pails to the spring house, cool and dark, where the milk woiild be left over night and where, in the morning, Annie would churn. Coming back across the back yard, almost completely dark now that the sun had gone and twilight was deepening, die saw a man standing waiting for her at the steps and. was startled. He was a stranger, and strangers—especially masculine strangers — were suffi ciently rare in Pleasant Grove to arouse a bit of surprise. "Miss MacTavish?” he carfie towards her, smiling, and die saw Qiat he was tall and nigged looking and that he must have been dose to forty. 'T m Tom Fallon—your neighbor dotm the road ,,,there. We’ve just moved to, and ,-they told me that you might be willing to supply us with mfffc and butter and eggs." “Why, yes, I think so,1 Megan, and then remembered. “Oh, you're Professor Fallon, the new high school principal! Welcome to Pleasant Grove!” “Thank you,” said Tom, and his handshake was warm and friendly. “That’s very kind of you.” “It’s going to be nice to have someone in the Westbrook place,” said Megan pleasantly. 'T d like to call- on Mrs. Fallon as soon as you are settled.” She saw the shadow fall over his face. Even in the dusk she could sense the tightening, the stiffening, that made him look older and some how, aloof.“You’re very kind,” he told her formally. “But Mrs. FaRon is—an invalid. Her health does not per mit her to have caUers. Her sister lives with us and takes care of her.” “Oh — I’m sorry,” said Megan quickly and meant it. "You will let us know, though, if there is any thing we can do to help? We pride ourselves on being neighborly in Pleasant Grove.” Tom smiled and Qie darkening of his face was gone now. He said pleasantly, “I’d almost forgot that such a thing existed—neighborliness, I mean. You don’t find any evidences of it in a city any more.” The FaUons had moved into the Westbrook place early in Septem ber. But by the time school was in its second week, people were speaking approvingly of Tom Fal- W.N.U. RELEASE said She saw a man standing waiting for her at the steps and was startled. Ion—“Professor Tom” they were calling him, and gradually it came- to the term, " ’fessor.” .“I was right worried at first,” ad mitted old Mrs. Stuart, helping Megan make sauerkraut. “Seemed like he didn’t have enough spunk to make the older boys ’behave. Seemed like he ought to *a took a stick to ’em more’n he did—but now seems like the younguns has settled down right nice with him. And they say the other teachers is crazy about him.”Megan said quietly, “He seems very nice. I think we are fortunate to . get a man like him in a small town schooL” Mrs.' Stuart shot her a glance. "Why’d you reckin he come to a little bitty place like this?” she won dered innocently. “Folks says that with good teachers scarcer’n hen’s teeth just about everywhere in the country you’d think a man with all them fancy diplomas and papers and things could get him a better job than this fun here.”Megan frowned a moment in deep thought, hesitating. “Well, he said his wife was deli- cate^-maybe be wanted a mild cli mate for her,” she suggested at last. Mrs. Stuart paused in chopping the crisp, hard cabbage heads and shot Megan a look. "You hear any thing ’bout what’s wrong with his wife?” she wanted to know, an odd tone In her voice that made Megan look at her sharply. "Why, no,” she answered. "Well, I thought maybe you sell ing him milk and. eggs and things, maybe you might ’a heard something or seen something.” Mrs.. Stuart was almost on the defensive. “Folks say there’s something mighty peculiar about her kind of sick ness—” Oddly enough, Megan found her. self suddenly furious. suppose it would.be Aljcia SteVehson who said' Qwv WoiiidHT" ■ she asked dryly. Mrs. Stuart chuckled-end her col or deepened a little. "Well, now that you ask me, I do believe it was something Miz Ste venson said, t’other day when we was aU sewing for Qie Red Cross over at . her house,” she admitted. “She made a right smart sjtory out o’ it. Said she went over Jto call, takin’ some chrysantiiemuins from her garden, and some new maga zines and a book, thinkin’ likely a woman that was an invalid might like to read—well, she says this big, husky-looking woman, a ’Miss Mar tha,’ come to the door and fairly glared at her and wouldn’t let her in. Said fer a minute she didn’t think she was goin’ to let her leave the flowers, and she wouldn’t let her leave the books and magazines. Said Miz’. FaRon didn’t want to be read to, and she was in bed so she couldn’t read to herself. Miz’ Ste venson said the house, what she could see of it, leastways—-was neat and clean but depressin* like.” “Professor Fallon said that bis wife’s sister lived with them and took care of her;” said Megan dry ly. “Cf course. it would be like ARcia Stevenson to make up a story about mystery over there. I imag ine Mrs. FaQon may be crippled— there could be any one of a lot of reasons—anyway, she is an invalid and not permitted to have company, so why can’t we just leave it at that?” “Well, I rekin there ain’t much else we can do,” admitted Mrs. Stuart, but it was plain that her lively curiosity was far from satis fied with any such unenterprising decision. There was something about Tom Fallon that made Megan feel sorry for him; something, too, that put her on the defensive when he and his family affairs were' being dis cussed. Pleasant Grove was a small town where everybody knew everybody rise's business; you might think you had secrets from your neighbors—perhaps they let you think so—but occasionaHy there would be RtQe spatters of rumor, whispers, revelations that your se cret.was no secret ad aU, but that your friends and.1 neighbors were perfectly willing that' you should think they were. Megan’s favorite relaxation, when she could find time for it, was a walk to the top of the Iow-Qring hill beyond the meadow, that rejoiced in the ambitious title of Qie Ridge. Here she crawled under a barbed wire fence, walked a hundred yards more and.waS on top of the Ridge. Here there were, lordly pines whose green feathery tops seethed almost to brush the sky; here the aisles between the pines were kept clean and free of underbrush, and thickly carpeted with resinous, slippery, brown pine needles. Here there were several big fiat rocks that of fered a pleasant place to sit and rest after the walk. And from here one had a beautiful view over roQ- ing meadowland and pasture and. green woods. :• 5 On an afternoon Iate in October, Megan, emerged from .the barbed wire fence and straightened, to look back down the low meadow valley. The dogs were scampering wildly; Dixie, Qie smaH black ; water span iel who was a superb-hunter, self- taught, had treed game and was barking his head off; Bessie, .the pointer, was racing through the un derbrush at the edge of the pines, her. tail quivering with delight at Qie scent she had disturbed; while the cats were climbing trees with joyous abandon. , But as she stepped out of the pines to the smaR clearing where the rqek lay, she paused , and said, startled, “Oh—I’m- sorry—I didn’t know there was anyone here.”Tom stood up, smiling, eager. ' "WeU, Miss MacTavish! How are you? Am I trespassing on your property?" he said quickly. "Oh,' no, as a matter of fact this property belongs to your place,” Megah assured him. "The circus and I just use it as a finish to our walk.” “SbaU I go?” suggested Tom lightly. "Of course not—how siHy!” protested Megan swiftly.^ “After all, there are two rocks and'plenty at room for both of us!” "Thaqks,” said Tom, Snd smiled' as he watched her settle.herself on the rock While he selected another: one. . The four cats, shy of strangers;; stepped daintily into the: clearing^ saw him and drew back startled, velvety ears erect, fluffy plumy tails quivering a UtQe, tfiqr growls starting deep in their soff’throats. ■."Behave yourselves, bSys!” Me gan ordered sternly, and Tom. laughed as the arched Qffis relaxed a little and the cats wefft on about their business of investigating' fascinating scents, yet keeping wary golden eyes on him as they did so, ,."They are beauties, aren’t they?” said Tom in quite lumest admiration. "W ell; naturally I think-so,” Mo- ganlaughed. Tom nodded. ‘Tm a UtQe thM: way myself," he admitted.(TO BE CONTlKCMDt IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL U N D A Y I C H O p L L e s s o n ‘ By HAROLD U LUNDQUIST, D.

Buch is the high privilege of the men and women who respond 'td his Call aiid who go out to witness for him, :On the one side,, we have a world desperately in need of the gospel, perhaps more so than any genera tion in history. On the other hand, we have the gospel of the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus, the only solution to the problems of man kind, the perfect answer to man’s need. How shaR these two be brought together? By sending out witnesses to teR the glad tidings of redemp tion and peace. Where shaR we find these witnesses? In the church, for only the befiever in Ohist is quali fied to 'teR-others df bis saving- grace, . Our lesson, in telling of the Lord’s calling and sending forth laborms into his harvest field, gives us much helpful instruction regarding serv ice for the Lord. We learn that . I. God Provides for Ms Workers (Mark 6:7-10). Jesus sent out his twelve disciples two by' two, thus providing every worker with feRowship and help in hours of discouragement and trial. This also served to keep a man in balance so that he would not become self-wifled and proud of bis own achievements. It was a wise provision. Perhaps the church should have observed it with more care, and thus have saved some good workers from go ing astray. They were not to be cumbered with extra equipment, nor be concerned about their dafiy sustenance. The Lord would provide through the hospitality and generosity of his people. . Note that the expected hospitality was not to be aUowed to hinder their work (cf. v. 10 with Luke 10:7), Many a preacher or evangelist has ruined a series of meetings Iqr let ting social life hinder prayer, soul- winning, or preparation for preach ing.n. God Gives Power to His Work ers (Mark 6:7, 11-13). . He gave them authority over evil spirits, so that Qiey could drive them out. He gave them power to heal; he gave them power to preach effectively. The man who goes forth to speak for the Lord does not have to. mus ter up his own puny powers or de pend on the weak arm of some hu man helper. His resources are in finite and omnipotent. He speaks for tiie Almightir God. He has a message with saving power. AU too often the servants of the Lord are apologetic and hesitant in their ministry. They mistake weak ness for meekness, and in their de sire not to assert themselves, they fail to speak a ringing “Thus saith Qie Lord.” ! ' V . We need a revival of authoritir tive preaching,^ of that holy boldness which was not afraid to rebuke; sin and any unwillingness to do the Lord’s wiU (v. 11). We need a new emphasis on repentance (v. 12). - ID. God CaUs Helpers for His Workers (Luke 10: I, 2 ). After the twelve were sent out, he caRed and commissioned the sev enty. That blessed process Ims gone on ever since. ,How blessed it is that even in our day of unbelief and sin, hundreds of young men and women are going out to aQ the mis sion fields of tiie world to work with older and experienced missionaries. ,a Perhaps these words win be read by some youhg man or woman who has felt the promptings of the Spirit of God to go into his service. Step out by faith just now, and begin to prepare yourself , for God’s service; If tiie writer of these notes can be of help to you, do not hesitate .to write to him.- God is looking for more workers. ' Do not overlook the important ad monition in verse 2. ' The Lord is waiting for his people to pray for laborers for fields which stand white and ready, for harvest. IV.

W e know one Democratic edit' or who feels bad as a result of die Democratic primary. Only three more weeks until die good old blackbesry will be with us again. Cash or sugar will be taken inpayments for subscrip- dons. Republican editorsw erenot al lowed to vote for Democrats in the May primary. This informa tion is printed for the benefit of a very few office-holders. W e imagine Editor Bill Homer is a sadder but wiser man than he was before the recent primary- Bfll didn’t even come around to see us during the campaign. He spent some money in Davie coun ty but we are glad we didn’t gel any of it. In 1936 this same John L. Lewis contributed $500,000 from die miners’ treasury to Roosevelt’s campaign fund. Harold Ickes was one of Roosevelt’s biggest New' Dealers and a member of his cabi n et at that time. And now Ickes is calling on President Truman to “put Lewis in his place.” IfLewis was all right in 1936 why is he wrong now? A leopard doesn’t change his spots. Schools Close The MocksvilIe a n d Davie County schools closed the 1945-46 term last Saturday morning. For the first time in more than a quater of a century there were no graduating class; and no com mencements were held. - Most of the out-of-town teachers left Mon day for their various horn W e understand that among the teachers who are not returning next fall are Miss Kathleen Black, Miss Leslie Daniel, T.

The school year just closed has been a very suc cessful one. and we are sorry that all of the faculty are not coming back. 82od Division Opens Ranks to Valnnteers The famed ’Devils in Bag Pants,” the 82nd Airborne Divis ion, has opened its ranks to vol unteers. It is now possible to ac complish direct assignment to dais famous combat paratroop division through enlistment at the Army Recruiting Office in the Postoffice Building, Winston-Salem. For direct assignment the fol lowing qualifications are necessary. The applicant must have had prior military service; and must indi cate that he is willing to jump af ter necessary basic airborne train ing; if the applicant is an ex-Sailor or ex-Marine, he must have - had at least 6 weeks boot training. All men accepted at the Post OfficeRecruitingStation will be shipped direct to the 82nd Air borne Division at Ft. Bragg, N. C. O n Tuesdays these applicants may take advantage of die regular plane flights if space is reserved in advance. James D. Harrelson, of Winston- Salem, arid Calvin O. Proctor, of ShejUbv, were the first to take ad vantage of the'Parotroop offer and lookedeagerly forward to their Trooper Wings and substantial pay increase. The 82nd Division is being re tained in die Regular Army as permanent Airborne Division, and is composed of men from the 17th, 13th and IOlst Paratroop Ney Memorial Service || According to announcement b y , Latta B. Ratledge, president of die] Ney Memorial Association, die' members of this association w ill; hold a service at historic Third Creek Presbyterian Church, two miles north of Cleveland, on die 5 th Sunday in September. This special service will be a very his toric service as it will he held to commemorate die one hundred, anniversary of die death of this distinguished Frenchman, - Peter S. Ney, who confessed on his death bed that he was the great French Marshal during die Nepo- leonicwar. Dr. Howard E. Rondialer, Pre sident of Salem College, has been secured to deliver die memorial address. Dr. Ronthaler has been lecturing on MarshalNey for over fifty years, and it is , needless to say that his address will be one that will tell more of die mystery. A public address system will be used so that all present will be permitted to hear. A cordial invitation is extended to the public to attend this his toric service. • • Shoe Nowon Other Foot Says Health Officer A few generations ago, it was a common practice of those who had the means, to escape epidemic teases in the summer by run ning from the thickly populated towns and cities to the thinly pop ulated small towns or farms. Now that most cities and large towns have modem water systems and sewage-disposal with well organ ized health departments and health councils, who see to it that gar. bage is properly collected and dis posed of, and that flies and mos quitoes and rats and other pests are controlled, and that die mass es of people are immunized byj vaccinations'against known pre ventable diseases, it is die other way around, for unless th e . rural areas maintain an equally high standard of health matters, those who have die means will be seek ing summer protection by moving to die cities. Too litde is being done in most ^ small towns , and rural communi ties in the line of sanitation. There! are altogether too many surface, privies despite die state law aimed' at the riddance of this nuisance.] Too litde attention is given to die; problem of garbage and refuse dis-] Many small towns are sat-: isfied with occasional dean up campaigns which are insufficient. I If .you observe the outbreaks of polio-myelitis for example* you have noted that this disease is largely g disease of die rural sec- tions^It seems to hit die country; areas first. It is seasonal—that is it comes in the summer and early fall and corresponds with the' house fly season at its peak. Therej has been much evidence produced' to show that this disease is related to filth and poor sanitary condit- ^ ions. The tame is true of typhoid: fever and related intestinal infec-l tions commonly known as “sum-! mer complaints.” j Your Health Department is now v striving to eliminate some of our I local dangers. The co-operation " of all citizens is eamesdy request ed. O ne should not take the at titude of the citizen who remark ed die other day, “W hy all this fuss? W ehave no epidemic of polio or typhoid or summer com plaints in this county.” O ur an swer is: “A nd we don’t wish any. W e believe in locking die bam door before die horse is stolen.” W e believe m warding off danger instead of waiting for outbreaks of trouble.

Woman's World Cheerful Curtains for Kitchen Are Made from Chintz Goods A RE your kitchen curtains weary x * - after year-long usef Is the mate- jrial t o o heavy to be suitable for wanner days ahead? If you have either of these prob lems and cannot find a nice mate rial for curtains, perhaps you have an old chintz bedspread or drapery material tucked away in an old trunk In the attic. This is ideal for sewing gay attractive framing for kitchen !windows. - ! A single-sized bedspread will !usually yield at least two pair of [one or two piece curtains for [kitchen windows. Yes, this includes lTOffle from the same material, too. [Qf course, if you prefer to make [the curtains look just a little bit [more tailored, then you might con- islder trimming the edges with a con- :trusting colored piping, particularly [if the pattern of the material is ;welI-covered with a floral design, i Your best pattern for kitchen win dows is to cut a tissue paper fac simile of the curtains you now use. I am assuming they are the cor rect length and fit properly. The important thing in windows is to have sufficient fullness so the cur tains do not look skimpy. . K your home, and particularly the kitchen is done in a very early American motif or is strictly mod ern, you might forego some of the fullness for an effect of simplicity or good tailoring. Then you will plan [to clothe the windows differently: [avoid the ruffle, settle for bric-a-brac [or a contrasting band around the [edge, and let the curtain fall In soft folds rather than in a gathered ef fect. !Correct Measnrements For Curtains Curtains are generally measured from the rod to the sill. If you do not have curtains that fit well, it is well to make the measurement and ■ee that you have ample fullness and length. U you are using a piece of old material as suggested, and it has I f y o u h a v e a w o r n - o u t b e d s p r e a d . . . . been washed, you will not have to allow the two inches per yard of shrinkage as is done in new mate rial, but you will have to make al lowances for the following: bottom hem, which is two inches plus a one-quarter inch turn; top head ing which is one and one-half inches aid casing which is one inch plus one-quarter inch for turning. If you are making sash curtains —two piece or half curtains, as they ■re sometimes called—measure from the center rod to the bottom of the sill for the lower half. For the upper half, measure from the top rod to one and one-half to two inches below the center rod. If desired, the two parts may be in different materials and colors. Pmcedore Given for Making Cortains It is very important to have all edges absolutely straight before starting to sew on the curtains, as Smile, Little Boy S e a s o m e I n I c h e n c u r t a i n s . they hang within plain sight of ev eryone and can give a slightly aAew appearance, to the room if ~ sy are lopsided. Straighten the U of the fabric by tearing or pull ing a thread. Measure from this end This little gentleman doesn’t have to be so self-conscious be cause he’s well torned ont in a two-piece ensemble of kiduroy, the new corduroy that can take a. beating such as only a youngster can give it. and if necessary straighten the, fab ric. Watch this closely when work ing with a printed fabric. Some women prefer leaving the selvage on the curtain to save sew ing a side, but it is advisable to cut it off and finish the material.. The selvage edge may shrink and give the curtains, and naturally the room, a rather bizarre appearance. If the selvage is removed, make a hem on the fabric. If plain stitching is not desired for the hem, the material may be hemstitched or darned with col ored stitches, featherstitched or even bound In harmonizing or con trasting colors. Casings at the top of the curtain usually depend upon the size of the rod. Ihis may require from one and one-half to two inches. If you are worried about shrinkage, place a tuck across the curtain on the in side below the casing. Use a long stitch on the machine for Uiis or baste in place. If you have decided upoiy ruffles for your curtains, then measure one of the long sides and the bottom and make the ruffle two and one- half times this length. Use long stitches on the machine first, then gather to fit the curtain, the ruffle going to the inside of the curtain and at the bottom. If you have tie- backs for . the curtains, here again, use twoif and one-half times the length of the tie for making the ruffle. For placing the ruffle on the cur tain stitch in place and finish with a french seam. For the tie backs, however, tuck the ruffle in-between the material (tiebacks are made of a wide piece of material folded) and stitch once or twice on the edge, depending upon the fabric. Furnishings Women who are handy with the needle can do a lot toward mak ing the home attractive and livable. Slipcovers and draperies, well matched and with an eye to good taste, can bring together a room if it'contains many odd pieces of ‘furniture. ' For dark rooms, consider the lighter fabrics to add cheer to the room. For bright rooms, you may use darker colors. If you live near an industrial section, choose fabrics that launder easily so that you can keep clean and still be kind to your cleaning budget. It is worth while to buy good fabrics with good finishes for covering much- used chairs, etc. When selecting binding and draperies for chairs and sofas, make sure that the material . Is washable or easily cleaned. It’s far better to hunt than try to mend or re-dye the binding after the first cleaning. S p r i n g F a s h i o n N o t e s Bood for the playsuit? Yes, in deed, and it’s especially good with Ihe halter style top.Look for the unusual In prints sight at the moment. You will see geometric figures and designs that give you a sculptured look. For suits for the .week-end out of town, wear something fetching at the neck of your suit. Rippling ruf- ffllf Ir* fpmlnhlS and charming.. Special patterns are now being created in cotton to make that tex tile attractive even for dressy frocks. Lady-like elegance is the phrase being used more often as we get back on a prewar basis In the world of fashion. That’s why you’re see ing flowery hats, swathed in veiling, dressy suits and blouses that are the height of fritiinesp,______ SIRyKK ^ B U R E A U E D I T O R ' S N O T E : T h i s n e w s p a p e r , t h r o u g h s p e c i a l a r r a n g e m e n t a i l h t h e W a s h in g to n B u r e a u o f W e s t o n N e w s p a p e r U n i o n a t 1 6 1 6 E y e S t r e e t , N .

N e w V f i t H o g p i t t d t President Truman has approved the construction of three new vet erans’ hospitals and the transfer of the site of another to immediately expand the VA medical service, ac cording to an announcement by Gen. Omar N. Bradley, veterans* admin- istrator,- The site for a tumor clinic of 600 beds at Hines, V l . , has been transferred to a site adjacent to North western University at Chicago, so as to be in proximity to the medical school. New hospitals authorized are a 500 bed general medical and surgical hospital in Indianapolis for eventual expansion to 1,000 beds; construc tion of a 1,000-bed general and sur gical hospital in Boston and a new 500-bed general medical and surgical hospital in Omaha, near the Nebrastet medical school Since Pearl Harbor, more than 325,000 World War H veterans have, been admitted to veterans’ hospitals, more than a third of these treated for service - incurred disabilities.. Seven per. cent are disabled from tuberculosis, 23 per cent from neuro-( psychiatric conditions and 70 per. cent from general medical and surgi- 1 cal disablements. Qaesfions and Answers Q .

Just whfin it first appeared as a beverage no one can • say exactly. But that it was an Ara bian discovery seems very likely in view of the fact that coffee grew wild in that part of the world before the ninth century after Christ, and fanciful Arabian nights. tales have been handed down about the first brew. The most popular legend concerns Kaldi, an Arabian goatherd, whose dull life on the hillside made B*1" a gloomy Joe indeed. But he picked and ate some of the berries his goats were fond of nibbling, because he noticed thatafter, eating these ber- ■ ries, the goats became gay creatures. Kaldi himself became a new man Thereafter toffee berries were indis pensable to his diet, and so carefree and lively did he become that he often joined his goats in a merry dance. A monk, to whom Kaldi confided Hs experiences, prepared a drink from the beans and served it to the members of his order. They found the beverage sustained their energy and helped them to pray and medi tate longer, s o they adopted the drink and cultivated the plant. OridupUy the popularity of the beverage spread t o T u r k e y , where, In 1554, the first public coffee house was established. It was introduced to the Venetians in 1619, the Ikench in 1644, toe English and IUennese In 1650, and it was brought to North America in 1668. But promptly the power of tiie beverage to stimulate clear thinking and plain faHMng con verted the popular coffee houses into discussion clubs. And political de bate that exploded into dissension, direct- action and resistance made coffee houses -the targets of tyrants like Charles H of England, who termed them seminaries of sedition.But, according to Disraeli, London and Paris coffee houses of-the seven teenth and eighteenth centuries held the mirror to "the manners, fts morals and the politics of a people.1* Here In colonial United States; too, the coffee house became the meeting house of the town !fathers, and after a time changed from purely social centers to focal points of merchant trade and political discussion. Daniel W ebster called Boston's Green Dragon Coffee House uQie headquar ters of the American Revolution.” The Dutch took the coffee plant to South America bad around 1718, with a result that every sixth grader knows. Today’s coffee plantations in Pan-America produce three-fourths of the world’s-coffee. AAd because we are the world’s greatest coffee drinkers, a t course we’re the biggest customers far the Pan-American yield. AU previous invoices were topped in 1945, when the United States imported 20,279,690 bags of coffee, mdi containing 132 pounds! - LOOKIUG AffKAD si GEORGE & BENSON P t t i U a t - M t t t i M f C t U t f t S a t t f A t i t M t t t Why Argue? Ever since V-J Day, which most Amwlcans look upon as the end of .Worhl War H, we have all recog nised a high clamor of communistic propaganda. With sound reason ing, a great many well-meaning peo ple have tried to oppose it on the 'street corners, to no avail. It is 'like arguing with a headline In yes terday’s newspaper. To be'really effective, our opposition must go deeper, much deeper. There are not many things that I like less or fear more than con centration of,political power, gov- 'emmetit by men rather than by -law, and official favoritism for indi viduals and cliques; and I’m not alone. I am convinced that an overwhelming majority of Americans fad the same .way, Consequentiy I hope these few remarks may im prove the measure of protection for us all. Time for ActionWordy arguments never Contrib ute much to the world’s progress or to any people’s store of knowledge. In fact, taking a stand in opposition to another man’s harangue serves without fail to dignify the harangue and call attention to it. Debating a false philosophy always helps it and, unless opposition is well han dled, there’s a danger of giving more help than hindrance. n e propaganda machine we hear so plainly has been chattering away for two decades. Promotions, good and evil, ride on the wings of’news, and hews is necessary. Publishers, Columnists and radio commentators chronicle real happenings, day by day. Don’t blame them. They per form an essential public service. Find the Source Of course there must be a few publishers who are unpatriotic, and writers who would stir up a revolu tion if they could, but these are not the nation’s chief danger. When news is really poisoned, the job is done by those who woke news, not those who print and broadcast it. Let us know the truth because the truth will make us free; free from our political enemies as well as oth er kinds. Journalists toll me that news arti cles have value (ie. deserve prom inence) in proportion to the number of people interested. Thus persons in positions of power make news because fa lot of people are interest ed in what these men think and say and do. If the rulings they‘decree or the opinions they express seem socialistic, there’s nothing honor able for news men to do but tell the people. IVs their country. Starve It Out Radical propaganda' undoubtedly does this nation damage. I believe a big majority of Americans are wholesome people, love their country and understand what makes it the world’s best place to live and most influential power. Just the same, poisoned news reins converts. And so long as men . In power wish to gain more power, the campaign for collectivism will be carried on. At its source is the best place to quiet the voice of socialist promo tion. Men-who hanker to boss the schools, control hospitals, limit pro duction and eternally, fix prices oufiht to be put where their every word and deed does not make news —out of power. There is a sum way: Stop the flow of revenue out of the Treasury into the hands of such appointed “rulers.” . That will Start immediately and effectively to * solve the problem of collectivist; propaganda. I LOOKING AffKAD GEORGE & BENSON P t t t U a l - M t t d i t f C t U t f t S a t t f A t i t t t t t - Good Strategy j Congressman Hatton Sumners, in my opinion one of America’s great est living statesmen, has announced his purpose to retire at the end of the 79th congress. This news first appeared as a dark cloud because xuwa aw nun are sorely negdca to day, but in Washington last month I was shown the stiver lining. Rep. Sumners is “retiring” to a more strategic tiieatre of war. The people of America have a dan ger that is common to them all and • common duty to defend them selves against it. This nation’s'hope for a bright future depends on a few facts being seen by a great many people at once. Amerioans can be depended upon for action at any time the truth is not hidden from them or distorted beyond rec ognition. MT. Sumners will soon start talking straight to them. Powerful Tkntiis “I have watched what my own generation . . . has been doing to the greatest system of democratic government ever evolved through the processes of the ages,” said the veteran lawmaker. “By ignoring principles and the lessons of his tory, accepting for our guidance the theories of men and political ex pedience, we have made dependents of our citizens and vassals of our states. “By concentration of power and drafts on the Federal Treasury we now have a bewildering governmental agglomeration impossible of democratic control. Wasteful and Inefficient, by nature it is the Instru mentality of !favoritism, oppression and corruption. It is the destroyer of self-reliance, self-respect and self- governing ability without which no people can remain free.” Bnt There’s Hope A public awakening will save this country from any form of tyranny. Mr. Sumners does not doubt this. He said, "Washington is as sensi tive to the changing currents of pub lic opinion as a barometer is to re cord changes in the weather.” If acts of congress fail to reflect pub lic sentiment, it is because such sentiment is itself confused or indis tinct to the majority. Mr. Sumners is taking to the lec ture platform. I wish him as wide a hearing as his profound experi ence deserves. Popular education' is the right place to start winning for America a future of freedom. This man has seen Congress sweat under heat applied by political pres sure groups. He sees the need to open a door and admit a cooling draft of public sentiment. And he can do it. - Remarkable Record Bom In Tennessee, Hatton Sum ners turned 21 in Texas. His con gressional district (Dallas) has kept him in Washington 34 years by electing him to the 63rd and all sub sequent congresses. He is a sound thinker and an eloquent speaker. He is a nationally recognized authority an Constitutional Law. He is chair man of the House Judiciary Com mittee and has been for a long time. bo a brief and eloquent word-pic- tore of official Washington, the re tiring crusader for decentralization of power said of Congress: “The political backing of a well organized minority is consistent and depend able whereas the backing of an un organized majority is fickle.” That’s clear. An enlightened public opin ion must supplant loud and selfish minorities as guiding stars of Con gress.

The bran dy Vvas so old that it had aged until the color was almost golden yellow. Of course the officers poured out the brandy. Supporting The Wrong Cause Rev. Walter E benhour. Hiddenite. N. C.^ ITbe masses of mankind seem far more wilting to support the wrong cause than the right, even though the wrong cause curses them, wbiie the right cause blesses them, or wpuid bless them. A movie star receives many, many times the sal ary that a preacher of (he Gospel received, and of course her life and work is a tremendous curse, while that of the true preacher of the Gospel is blessing. Manv profess ed Curistiaur give tar more to the movies than they do to the cause of God. Others spend far more 'to the movies than they do to the cause of God. Others spend far more for tobacco than they spend toward Christianizing the world. Their tobacco bill runs far into the dollars per vear, while they give a few pennies, nickels and dimes to the church. One liquor store, or beer joint, in a town may take In more money than several churches. The Influ ence of the liquor store and beer joint is indeed a great curse, while that of the church is a blessing with the right preacher as pastor, and with the right congregation as followers: It seems to be no trou ble to carry on a business that is a curse, when it is considered from a financial standpoint, but very bard end difficult to carry on anything that is a blessing. The wrong cause has an overwhelming financial sup port, while the right cause' suffers and suffers for support. We have seen churches started in both tbe country and town, and for the lack of finances the work goes on very slowly, or stands and stauds. while in the meantime a theatre goes up In a little while, which may cost several times that of the church. We wonder why people are so wilting to put their money into a cause that is a curse, and give it so freely and lavishly, bat so unwilling to give to tbe cause that is a blessing. I suppose, however, it is-because tbe world loves tbe things of tbe world rath, er than God and the-things of God- The wonder is that God would be sa merciful toward those who take that which belongs to Him and give it to tbe devil. It never, never pays' an individ ual or a nation to support tbe wrong, cause. There is always a penalty that has to he paid for go ing wrong instead of right. Men and nations have to reap what they sow, their means to gratify the Inst of the eyes. Ifthey induIge their appetites, or give of and the pride of life, they have to oav for It dear.

It is a deplorable fact The Judge Bein’ Willing Seven motor vehicles were da maged and four persons injuted io wrecks in and near Statesville tbe past week-end Threeoftbewrecks were'caused by drunken drivers, a- Uother by a youthful soeeder. The speeding youth wouid have arrived at his destination quickly and safely had he been In less of a hurry As it is, his parents will have to stand the cost of repairing two cars—their own and that of the other driver.

A n X m ark a fte r you r n a m e m ean * y o u o w e u s. Some Good Advice Dear Mr, Stroud:—I want the privilege of adding my sentiments to that of Messrs. Fink and Eaton against the evils that are raging, While liquor is a major one there are many more. Even the soft drink is a curse and not a blessing and is bringing many to an untime ly grave. Tobacco takes time and means, and is no real good smoke habit produces a craving hard to satisfy, and is a decided curse to the young. What is' not good': is bad “ He that knowetb to dtf good and doeth it not, to him it is sin." The terrible things that are hap pening in this poor old world is caused bv tbe love of money More of us are money, crazy. Contrast evil with good and the reward. It- looks Iike intelligent beings wonld chase tbe good shun the wrong, “The wages of sin is death.” The soul that sinnetb,. it shall die.” Satan and some preachers teach the contrary. Jesus Christ has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through tbe Gospel, so one that does not benefit by the Gospel hath not life. He that committeth sin is of the devil,. for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose tbe son of God mani fested that He might destroy the work of the devil. So many know not the power of God and fall into sin, and so become the servants of sin. Poor slaves don't know that tbe truth would make them free God is misrepresented in his pro, fessed people. God is love. Bros. Fink and Eaton let’s learn. I Cor. T3, sud Gal. 5-14., and show the folks how love rightly lived, wil* end the world’s trouble* This will be realized when 2 nd Peter, 3 rd chapter, verses 10 to 13 is carried out, This is the blessed hope. JAMES Pt BURTON, Hickory, N. C., R. r. My Notions John Wesley Clay In Winetoo-Salem Jooraal I am disappinted in tbe rail road men, sadly disappointed. I have known and loved railroad men since I was a mere boy. I remember time when the trains burned wood f o r tuel, and it was a joy to us boys to see the train pnll np to a pile of cord wood along the track and .we were permitted to help toss the wood-into the tender. Before the days of the air brakes it was thrilling to hear the engineer blow the signal for brakes as he descended a mountain grade and to see the. brakemen climb to the top of tbe cars and rap from car to car and twist the brake wheel. I admired the brass but tons of the conductors and the greasy overalls or the engineer on tbe line as be made the whip-poor- will call for no two of them blew it tbe same way. Strong men, robust men, good hearted men, reliable men, men a bove the average for efficiency and loyalty, they were respected and loved by people everywhere. But now, when the country is trying to get 0 0 its feet after the war'they will poll tbeir engines into the ronndhonses and pull tbe fires. I would expect just such things from John L Lewis and his crowd but'not from the railroad men. I am sadly disappointed. : Keeping Them Awake . (New Yorker.) Members of the 'American Com. muoist party are reported to be in a nervous state over Earl Browder’s visit to Russia, They might be called upon by the 'Krenilin to have another attack of that old Browder- ism. Today’s Problem The villainous and bloated liquor and beer interests of this country have seen the handwriting on the wall, and have proposed to give a large amount of grain to the star- ving countries. Aftertheir cursed waste of 3 .147,. 5 5 5 ,ooo pounds of grain in 19 4 4, added to the waste of 2 3 8 ,6 5 5 ,0 0 0 pounds of sugar, a total in food products consumed in the manu facture of alcoholic beverages of 6 0 3 9 6 1 0 ,0 0 0 pounds; and after facing tbe prospect of wbat the awfyl wrath of an awakened world will be against their iniquity, they suddenly propose a band-out to off. set universal condemnation. Ot course, the helpless victims of famine conditions, some- 8 0 0 0 0 0, 0 0 0 of them according to Mr Hoo ver, will gladly grasp at this lit ot succor. But I believe that the everlasting sight of their wasted bodies, and their cries of their bit ter hunger pains will be the eter nal panorama of sight and sound that awaits tbe whisky and baer barons of this and other nations. And it will not be - the villains a- tone who made and weo profited by the sale of alcoholic drink, but- it will include the men and women who demanded and.consumed these products that took away tbe food of multiplied millions. The man most 'responsible for this vast evil is dead. However, he cannot be held accountable for what tbe people tolei ate today. The curse t f liquor is today’s problem Children are crying and dying to day because Americans had to have tUfir liquor. The sequel to this greed on the part of liquor dealers and this fleshly indulgence bv mil lions of citizens, is the wretched misery of the world's destitute who search for rancid crumbs in gar bage cans This nation will continue to be a “divided house” and the god of confusion and diversion will remain astride the U. S capitol until there is repentance for the crime of ’backsliding” . after we had^ifiig evil conquered by prohibitory - law. —G. C Graham in Winston-Salem Journal. Big Peach Crop Altbongh the peach growing in dustry reached Jts peak in the Sandhiills areas in Notth Carolina more than two decades ago, and has greatly declined since, a . ban ner peach year is being predicted for the Sandhils In 1946 There are still more than half a million peach ,trees in Moore county, and this section continues to ship thous ands of bushels of peaches to east ern and northern markets each year. Senate Group Votes To End Price Control The Senate banking committee has votedto eliminate price control, on meat, poultry and milk by next June 3 0 . Tbe committee adopted to seper- ate amedments, both sponsored by Senator: McFat laud, Democrat of Arizona. jOhe calls for decontrol of ’’milk.” That was adopted 9 to 8.

A Fight To Be Won Again Cborlotte Observer Mrs. Eleanbri Roosevelt was the least historic in making her state, ment that “it has been a long fight tP put the control of our economic system in the bauds of the gov. ornment.” , It took about 13 years, as a mat tei of fact. The fight to keep' the ecouomic life and activities Of the American people iu tbe hands of the Wash ington bureaucrats will; we may be sute, continue unabated, And, therefore, still another fight is ahead of the people of this country. It is tbst to recapture for free Americans the control of our oco- notnlc system which the govern ment has taken out or their bands. The foe against which we must contend in this arena is well and powerfully entrenched. .The people, niust do some fight ing even against themselves in de throning this anti-Democratic mon stdr that has arrived in the form of an all powerful centralized govern ment. For, after all, the people are, in some measure at least, to blame for not haviug asserted themselves in the interest of their own individual rights, and, instead, "for willingly transferring, to Washington ,the p. wers of government which . in herently- helong to themselves. Until, therefore, the American citizen, by and large, rank and.file cultivates within himself fbe qual ity of self-relience and individual responsibility, the fight against e conomic bureaucracy can never be won.

C. THE DAVIE RECORD, M OCKSmLE. N. C. y BOOVER AND REPORTERS WASHINGTON. — When Herbert Hoover staged a press conference after his talk with President Tru man and Secretary of Agriculture Anderson, newsmen immediately asked what President Truman had told him. The former chief executive—who had as rough a time with the press as any United States President in this century—replied with deep feel ing: "There ought to be a law," he said, "against anyone re peating what the President has said to him.’’ Hoover also refused to answer any questions about administration measures to meet the European emergency, and would not give any opinion when asked if U. S. ration ing might be necessary.• * * ARMV DENTISTS At long last Maj. Gen. Norman Kirk, who has the reputation for hoarding more medical manpower than any other surgeon general in history, has decided to let a few more doctors slip through his fin gers and go back to civilian prac tice. He has decreed that all medical corps officers who have served 30 months as of May I can be released from the army before June 30. However, this does not apply to army dentists, who are now getting to be the forgotten men of the U. S. army. For some strange reason best known to General Kirk, general service doctors can get out of the army after 30 months, but a dentist must remain in 39 months. And today there are hundreds of patriotic dentists who gave np good practices to join the army,'now marking time at army posts, unable to get discharged. Furthermore, the brass hats have permitted the discharge of .many younger dentists, while older men have to stay on. Many of the young sters, educated at army expense, have been declared “essential to civilian practice” and discharged, while older men with families to support, can’t get out. This means that younger dentists get their civil ian practice firmly established be fore older men can even begin to look for scarce office space.« * • HOW TO HANDLE LEWIS Towering Gov. Bob Kerr of Okla homa, who packs close to 250 pounds and a droll wit, tells this story about a chat with a “prominent Republican” during a recent visit to Wash ington. “Why doesn’t Truman • do some thing about John L. Lewis,” com plained the GOP-'er, “instead of sit ting around on his hands while Lew is ties up production in the entire country?” “Lewis is a tough man to handle,” said Kerr. "What would you sug gest that the President do?” “I could give him plenty of ideas if I had the chance.” "Okay,” said Kerr. “I’m go ing to give yon the chance. I’m a close friend of Harry !human. In fact, I am going to see him tomorrow morning. And I hap pen to know that right now, more than anything in the world, he wants the answer to this coal strike. So yon just sit down and write out the solution and FlI give it to him the first thing in the morning.” The discussion ended right there.• • * RAIL BITTERNESS For a long time, bad blood had existed between the trainmen-engi- neer brotherhoods and the other three—conductors, switchmen and -firemen. It has been somewhat like the CIO-AFL row, but the bitter ness deepened after the Roosevelt arbitration dispute. Whitney, at the time, sent a let ter to all his trainmen excoriating the other brotherhoods for refusing >to arbitrate—a letter which doesn’t put him in such a good light today. 'Among other things, he made up a little poem which read: "Tbree blind mice—hear how they talk! They all refuse to arbitrate— They’re gambling with their country’s fate— Though the hour is getting late For' the three Mind mice.” “Were they afraid to trust the !President?” Whitney asked his fet I low trainmen in the round-robin Iet- jter. “Or is it possible that they. - (the other three brotherhoods) were playing organization politics in the hope that they may strengthen their numerical and financial condition?” • • • CAPITAL CHAFF Candy made in Fascist Argentina- ; is now sold in the house of repre- sentatives’ restaurant. . . .

Well, we think its emblem would be four slices of baloney float ing in a dish of applesauce. Every body knows that the incredibly reckless driving and the hundreds of tragedies every day. are due chiefly to three facts: 1. Few states make more than a pretense of an adequate test for auto drivers, seven out of ten of whom don’t even Imow the elemen tal rules of the road. 2. Not a community in America has police enough to make a real war on reckless drivers, and the cops now on the job are almost helpless, due to the fact the courts let the reckless drivers off with, piddling fines. 3. Big cities, especially New York, permit flagrantly dangerous speeds on crowded streets day in and day out, with the traffic cops apparently loving it. * * * “Orson Welles has written a mu* steal with forty scenes, calling for ‘much activity among the audiences.’ ’’—News Item.<_ U a good title is wanted how about “Welles-A-Poppin”? • • « V A N I S H I N G A M E R I C A N S “ T h e g o v e r n m e n t w o n ’t s t a n d f o r i t ,” . mL e f i s s e e , y o u h a d two b e e r s a n d g a v e m e a q u a r t e r ; y o u g o t 1 5 c e n t s c o m i n g b a c k .’’» mW f i U g e t m a r r i e d f i r s t a n d f i n d a p l a c e t o l i v e O ft e r w a r d s m ■ •_ mA s k f o r o u r 2 5 w e n t s t e a k s a n d w i c h." * * * Models, style parades and the dis tribution of nylons are now features at Yankee stadium ball games.

Oes- treicher tells about the pompous general who withered a group of war correspondents and bored Uiem by outlining the broad strategic Situation without giving them any worthwhile news. When the general asked for questions, newsboy John ny Florea promptly double-talked: ’“That is great, General. But when will your troops take Unterstitzen bn the Bleiweis?” . . . The general (ooked uncertainty at his maps. Of course there was no. such town. He asked Florea to repeat the query. The reporter did so, emphasizing that Berlin could not possibly be beached unless the Bleiweis was crossed and Unterstitzen captured. Afraid to admit he didn’t know something, the general confidently replied: “My men will take'it in a few days at the most.” ' Probably the most bumptious pub lisher of all was James Watson Webb. During the Civil War he wrote to Lincoln suggesting that he be made a major-general. Lincoln offered him the slightly lower rank of brigadier-general. Webb re turned the commission with Uie words “Respectfully declined — J. W. Webb” written across it. Some legislators . are again whooping up plans to clamp a nix on newscasters who tell the truth about them. Which isn’t anything novel. Years ago, only reporters who were friendly to Congressmen were allowed to miter the Halls of Congress. Henry Clay fought such undemocratic procedures. He point ed out: “Liberty is not the private property of Congress. It is America’s heritage. U f r e e d o m is only accorded to our friends, then we are the foes of democracy.” When FIoyd Gibbons covered China for a news service, he didn’t communicate with his home office for many weeks. Finally Gibbons’ editor asked another news service to cable their correspondent in China and find out what happened to Floyd. The whimsical newsman cabled his retort: “Have located Gibbons In the bar-room of Cathay Hotel in Shanghai. Do you want me to interview him?” A steel sheathed Bible carried in Uie left breast pocket saved the life of Flying Fortress Bombardier Robert Turner of Lexington, Ky, . . . Returning after a mission over Germany, Turner discovered sev eral jagged flak fragments embed- ded in the Bible. Dnring World War I the life of Ross Neal (of Lebanon, Tenn.) was saved when his Bible instead of his heart absorbed a German bullet.

(bandleader Herbie Fields), “Congress welcomed us with open arms—instead of open minds.” Jnst -after the last election FDR had an appointment with a visiting Gov. But due to a meeting on war matters, he was detained.“Mr. President," his secretary said, “I guess you know you have kept the Governor of Massachu-. setts waiting four minutes.” ’That’s not so bad,” winked Roosevelt. “I intend to keep the Governor of New York waiting four years.” ^ Daring the early 1806s America’s gazettes were very prim and dull. Editors recoiled in horror at. the thought of dealing in personalities. But one New York newspaper blew the lid off this staid attitude—with a bang — by publishing the first, interview.

R EL EA be THE 8TORY THUS FAR: Megan Hac- Vaelsli and her father* with Annie* Uie servant, Uve on a small farm at the edge M Pleasant Grove. Their Uvfng Is made from chickens and a few cows* for MacTavlsh has been a ne’er-do- well for years. Into Pleasant Grove came a woman who called herself Alida Stev enson, and havihg inherited the old Brig* ham place she Is now a neighbor- of Megan's. Aliclaiis a woman of about forty years Olda .well dressed, and some* thing of a mystery. A stranger comes to the MaeTavish place to buy milk and hotter and eggs, and announces IdmseU as Tom Fallon, the new high school prin cipal, now living In the Westbrook place. He states that his wife Is an Invalid. CH APTER H Megau and Tom sat quietly on the big flat rocks, saying little, their eyes following the antics of the dogs and cats galloping around in circles on the Ridge. Sie thought she had never seen the pines'look so beau-, tiful. He asked for permission to fill his pipe and light it, and tentatively of fered her a cigarette. “Thanks, no,” Megan answered tightly. “It’s a habit Tve avoided— I don’t think I’d care much for it, and it is expensive.” Obviously Tom understood the .logic of that, and for a moment they were both silent, until he got his pipe going welt Megan said after a moment when the silence threatened to become awkward, “How is Mrs. Fallon? Does the climate seem to agree with her, as you’d hoped?” Tom’s brown hand tightened about the bowl of his pipe until the knuckles stood up in little white mounds. He tore his eyes from the landscape and gave her a look that was hard and cold and bitter, so much so that she was startled by the sudden, inexplicable hostility. “Mrs. FaRon is—doing as WeR as could be expected, under the circum stances,” he told her. His voice was harsh, and the very sound of the words told her that he had re peated these words until they had ceased to have any meaning; yet he had never ceased to resent the necessity for them. “I’m sorry if I seemed—inquisi tive or rude,” Megan told him frankly, her face hot with color, her head up. “I had no such intention. You have made no secret of the fact that your wife is an invalid. Naturally, in a smaff town like this, people are interested and anxious to be of service, if they may—” “The only service anyone can do my wife—or myself—is to leave my wife alone,”' stated Tom, and Me gan’s eyes blazed at his tone. She was on her feet now, and she said swiftly, her voice shaking with anger. “You may be quite sure that in the future, I, at least, shall be happy to do so!” She turned blindly to walk back through the pines, but before she had gone half a dozen steps, Tom was on his feet, laying a hand on her arm, in swift, abject apology. “Please wait — please, forgive me,” he apologized humbly. "That was unforgivable of me! It’S just that—well, the subject is-r-an ex tremely painful one—” “I’m sincerely xorry that I men tioned it,” she told him stiffly, her face stiff hot. He looked down at her gravely, his hand stiU on her arm, restrain ing her as she would have walked away. “You see, Miss MacTavish,” he said at last, his voice raw with pain, “my wife’s illness is—chiefly men tal.” He set his teeth hard when he had spoken the last two words, and Me gan looked up at him, puzzled. “Mental? You mean-she merely imagines she is iR? That she is a ■hypochondriac?" she asked, in all innocence. Tom’s face was white and rigid now, but his eyes were alive with pain. ..“No,” he said huskily. “I mean th|tt my wife is—mentally iU—that she has the mind of a young child— fhpt she is not—not normal!” It was obvious that he had tried to say “insane” and had not been -able to get the word past his stiff lips. . Megan was conscious of a mo ment of stunned, shocked horror. This man—chained to an insane wife! This man, whom everybody liked, with his fine mind and his keen sense of responsibility, and a woman who had the mind of a young child! “Oh!” was all she could say, her tone shocked and rich with sympa thy and touched with keen embar rassment that she must witness his moment of naked, burning revela tion, • “I’m—terribly sorry—” Tjpn brushed aside the choked, inadequate words and said with a sort of forced quiet, “So you see why it has been necessary for us to—deny the well intentioned call ers—” “Of course,” Megan told Mm unsteadily, sick with pity for him. “She is-^entirely harmless,” he told her, and his face was wrenched with the pain and the shame of hav ing to put that thought into Words. “She is never left for a moment alone and she never leaves her bed. But if people here knew about her— mental condition—well, undoubtedly they would — well, feel that she should be locked away! Put in an institution—” The . pain of the thought sffenced his words for . a moment, and after he had .got him self somewhat under control he managed a smile at her. that was little more than a grimace and said, “So now you know. What are you going to do?” , i Megan flinched from the look and from the words. She looked at him with wide, distressed eyes. '“What’s it got to do with me? I mean, why should I do anything?” she protested swiftly. “I^m terribly sorry—I didn't mean to pry into your affairs—” “I know,” Tom brushed the words away with a gesture of the hand that held his pipe. "But I think, somehpw, I wanted you to know. After aR, you are my nearest neigh bor. We see. each other often— it’s inevitable you should wonder. I —I hope you won't feel it necessary to—” Megan’s face flamed with hurt He looked down at her gravely, his hand still on her arm, restrain ing her as die would have walked away. “You may be quite sure that I shall reveal your secret to no one— why should I? What right—or ne cessity—would I have?” ' she told- him sharply. Tom smiled at her, a white, faint smile that was somehow very tragic. “I know you yrouldn’t. Forgive me. I’m clumsy and stupid, but not intentionally or wilfutiy so. For give me—for everything?” , Megan melted beneath the look in his eyes, and put her hand in his and let him draw her back to the flat stone, where she sat down once more. And as though the revela tion of his tragic secret had cleared the air between them, as though they were friends now, they spoke of- other things. I His mind' was keen and alert; Megan read a great deal and-psed her mind to think with, and it was for both of them a pleasant experi ence to be able to talk of things 'that had nothing to do with Pleasant Grove. Megan liked her friends and her neighbors, but there were many times when she hungered for im personal talk of matters far afield from Pleasant Grove, and she en joyed this contact with, a stimulat ing mind. He walked with her ,to the barbed wire fence, when ,she saw that she must go because-the evening was ending; he laughed a little, and obligingly held up the lower strand of barbed wire so she could crawl under it without snagging her skirt.' - “There really should be a gate here,” she told him, getting to her feet on the other side of the fence, laughing across the four styahds of barbed wire at him. “But I’m like the man who was going to fix the leak in his roof, only he couldn’t work while it was raining; and when it wasn’t raining the roof didn’t need mending. I somehow never get around to it!” ' Sie whistled. The two dogs came bounding to her, and the four cats stepped daintily out of a great thick et of honeysuckle vines that sprawled at the comer of the fence. And as she walked back down the meadow path to the brook, she looked over her shoulder; and lifted her hand to him in a gay tittle ges ture, as she saw him still standing there. He lifted his hdt to her and bowed in a gay burlesque of a sweeping old-world gesture,.# and she Went on, her heart a littig tight er for him. She was terribly sorry for tin , but she admired the. gal lantry with which he carried his burdens. And, looking across the fields toward the drab tittle five- room frame house that was the Westbrook place and that now held this pathetic woman, his wife, die felt the tears in her eyes. Poor man! and—poor woman! She .shiv ered a little and hurried as she went, as though to run away from thoughts that bit too deeply. One of Pleasant Grove’s favorite autumii. diversions, when the har vest was in and the-winter greens had been planted, and it was stiff too warm for “hawg-kiltin’,” was quilt ing parties. Through the scant leisure time of winter, most of Pleasant Grove’s women pieced quilts, out of “scrap bags” and carefully hoarded bits of material; and then when the quilt top: bad been pieced and finished, the owner notified her friends that she was "putting up” a quilt and -they were invited to come and help' her quilt it. A few days after her talk with Tom on the Ridge, Megan went over to Mrs. Stuart's, where there was a quilting. There were greetings, a breezy exchange of pleasantries, while Megan settled h e rse lf, brought her thimble .out of her pock et, threaded her needle, and set to work. | There were perhaps a dozen wom en about the big frame, which was opened to its fullest width, (he width and length of a double bed. Megan talked lightly and carelessly to her neighbor, the pretty little Whitaker girl whose sweetheart had just been reported injured in action in Italy and who was grateful for the chance to talk about him. Suddenly Megan heard the name, “ ’lessor Fallon” and looked up. Alicia Stevenson was watching her shrewdly, a tittle knowing look in her small, dark eyes that made Megan oddly and absurdly uneasy. Mrs. Burns, who was president of the Parent-Teachers’ association of the local school, was saying, “I think we’re lucky to get a man tike Pro fessor Fallon here. The school board says bis qualifications are excellent and his references are ex tremely good!" Mrs: Stuart bit off a thread and patted her last stitches into place before threading the needle afresh. “Sort of makes me wonder how come we could get a' man Iike Tes- sor Tom, in a little bitty place like this,” she said, as she moistened the tip. of the thread and squinted at the eye of the needle, trying to in sert one through the other. “I don’t redtin it’s anything ag’n the man, though, if he wants to live in a little country town—” “Maybe Megan could tell us more about that,” said Alicia silkily. “About what?” asked Megan, Cravnnty pretending not to understand. “Why a man like Tom FaRon would be satisfied in a little hick town tike Pleasant Grove,” said Alicia,’ smiling. "After all, you know him so much better than any of the rest of us—” “I seU him milk and’butter and eggs, yes,” Megan told her curtly. “I’d hardly say that made us old ,friends,' though.” “But I thought during some of those long hours you’ve spent to gether on the Ridge, he might have told you something of himself,” suggested Alicia', limpid-eyed,] her. voice soft as satin. There was-a startled gasp about the quilting frame, perhaps not so much a gasp, as a sense of move ment that made Megan know they were all staring at her, startled, wondering—waiting. Megan drew a long breath. “Just what do you mean by that?” she asked Alicia sharply. Alicia’s eyes were wide with sur prise, but there was a trace of malice in their depths also! “But, darting,” she protested, her voice artifidaRy gay apd sweet, '-“what could I possibly mean except that I’ve seen you and the gallant professor, on the Rldge—” s‘0nce, quite by accident, when I was out for a ,walk—” .Megan be- gaik but Alicia interrupted her with pretty concern .and an apology that was worse than the most open accu sation. “Of course,. I'm terribly sorry,’! “Alicia] interrupted:’ “Please don’t say any more. I never dreamed— I mean. I wouldn’t have mentioned it for the world—" She was pret tily confused, and Megan could, feel the hint of tension, of curiosity, that crept about the room. - ' Thb women who had been her friends and neighbors all' her. life looked at her and then quickly, away, 'very carefully not meeting her eyes, trying not to meet each other’s eyes,, elaborately pretending to-be vgry casual. , “This.is ridiculous!” said Megan hotly. “You’re trying to make peo ple believe that I’ve been—sneak ing off to meet Mr. Fallon—” “Whyjdarling!” protested Alicia, wide-eyed, hurt, though secretly enjoying; as she always did, this by no hneans unusual,, result of her mali cious dropping of bits of informa tion here and there. “I didn’t say anything of the kind. AU I said was thai it was obvious that you knew the man better than any of the rest of us, and that you should therefore know better than we why he was willing to hide—I inean to bury him self in a tittle hick town like Pleas ant Grove.”Mrs. Stuart eyed Alicia beUige* ently.

FoRowing Oirist calls for the best in man. Weak-kneed and watered- 'out religious philosophies and activ ities have no right to . caU them selves Christian. Let us put away these insipid imitations of Christianity, which-so often masquerade under its name, and face 'our time with a cati to discipleship which demands every fine, noble, manly and womanly quality. L Denial of Self (Luke 9:23, 24)’. A cross—that speaks at once of suffering and death. We may as weff face it. The Lord never in tended it to be an easy thing to fol low him. A man must lose his life tor Christ if he is to win it. Note that the-cross we bear does not refer to the trials or vexations of life. We should bear those as Christians, but there is something else in mind; namely, the complete denial of self-will, and the eager de sire to do only God’s will. And note also that this is required of every true Christian, not just of a few who are especially “consecrated.” Do you quality? If so look at the next point. II. Hnmility of Heart (Luke 9:46- 48). The world looks up to the great, the mighty, and the rich. The dis ciples had caught that fever and. were quarreling about who was to be greatest. Rfflat a tragic and dis graceful picture! But is it any dif ferent in the church today? Men are stiU determined to be "Mr. Big.” The foRower of Jesus sees beyond the false earthly standard of great ness, and in humility ministers to the little child. And lo! he has re ceived and served Jesus CSirist him self, and has become greater than aR the would-be great ones. Those about him may not see it, but God does, and in due time others shall also know of it. HI. Detennination of Purpose (Luke 9:57-62). Fbliowing Christ is more than singing glibly of carelessly, “I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord.” The one who starts out with him is to count the cost (Luke 14:28-33). He must expect the same treatment as Christ (H Tim. 3:12) and be willing to take it gladly (John 15:20; I Pet. 2:21). We ought to make this, plain to professed believer^' ’ TeR ..young people the truth and you witi see that they are ready to respond to it. They are wilting to 'giye.them selves sacrificially for causes Of this earth—why not for Christ? -• Christianity, is considerate and courteous, and our Lord is not here suggesting any neglect of the duties or amenities of life.’'! The- point is rather that the Lord must have first place whatever else -may call for second thought. IV. Prayer iff Faith (Luke 11:1-4). The one who is to follow Jesiis must know how to pray—and to pray in faith, He must know how to hold up the world to God, and get things from God for this needy, world. There is no one who can teach us to pray-better than Jesus, for he practiced what he preached. He prayed.’ It was seeing him pray that led the disciples to ask him to teach them to pray. Jesus taught his disciples a model prayer. This prayer opens with a recognition of God as Father, foUowed by a rev erent petition that his name may be hallowed; that is, that he may have glory as his wtil is done and his kingdom established in the hearts of men. Those who have that attitude are ready to ask for the supply of daily needs, and above aR, forgiveness of sin and deliv erance from temptation. Note that verse 4 is not the prayer of the unsaved for forgiveness and regeneration, for that is aR iff grace (Eph. 2:8). “The man outside (of the kingdom) gets his forgiveness with no condition; but once he is in the kingdom of the Son of God’s- Iove,. he lives, within the laws of that kingdom. Then he does not get forgiveness unless he is ready to forgive,' unless he has’ forgiven”' '(Morgan). ’ ; V> Recognition of Christ (Luke 17: 26, 21). ' - - The’ disciples thought of the kingdom in terins of “when” ; they should- have asked “what,” or ,even better “who,” for .the Itingdomwas present and operative right then because the King was there. That is the true meaning of “with in” (v. 21), which really means “in your midst.” It does not mean that the kingdom o f God was within the hearts- of the -Pharisees,- or within the socialorder,,but that, in the person of . the-King, the kingdom it self was hi thqir midst They re jected him,] and so also his kingdom. Vhat about Iiste Sstoe your King? Or do you also reject- him?

MtMOSr *i • I ItilM'T- NWwArcitiWWuwftMMYi T on E at W ell When T on R oast W ith Care(See Becipes Below) Flavorful M eats There’s not much choice of meat in the markets today, but if you are fortunate enough to get any at all, consider yourself supremely lucky. Just in case you’ve forgotten some of the fine points in prepar ing meat, I’m go ing to review, some of the rules of good cooking today. For years, we’ve been telling you about cooking meats at low temper atures. Rationing and the meat scarcity have probably shown you more dramatically than anything else how important low temperature cooking is to gettng the most of the meat. There’s less shrinkage and more juicy meat to your credit if you'll keep the oven at 325 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit when roasting. Another point to bear in mind is that no browning is necessary be fore roasting cuts of meat. Don’t worry about their not browning— they will get well browned even at moderate temperature. If you are pot roasting, that is cooking meat with moisture and seasonings, you’ll want "to brown the meat' after it’s dredged with flour, but this is because the meat is cooked covered with liquid. Here are some recipes for all types of meats which you may be able to find at least once a week these days. Cook and season care fully so that you will really be able to enjoy the meat to the fullest Barbecued Lamb Breast. CServes 4) 2 pounds breast of lamb I medium onion Y i cup chili sauce I teaspoon salt Pepper Y i teaspoon red pepper I tablespoon vinegar I cup water Cut lamb into pieces. Season with- salt and pepper. - Place in a hot skillet and let fatty sides brown. Mix chili sauce, red pepper, vin egar and water and pour over lamb. Slice onion and add to the mixture.. Cover. Sim m er 1% hours, then remove lid and let cook slowly for 20 minutes or until bar becue sauce is almost absorbed. Pork Chops and Bice. (Serves 5 to 6) 6. pork chops % cap uncooked rice Z Y i cups strained tomatoes 3 tablespoons green pepper, chopped Lynn Says: Learn Meat Magic: If you want a super delicious leg of lamb, baste it with buttermilk while Toasting. For lamb loaf, made with fresh meat, add % teaspoon caraway seed for flavor. If you’re shy on meat for meat loaf, make up part of the meat with diced American cheese.. Delicious) Pork chops baked with chili sauce or catsup mixed with pre pared mustard make grand and tender eating. If you want a bread saver stufiBng for breast of veal, cook your noodles until tender and use them for stufiBng. Marjoram or parsley makes a good seasoning for veal prepared in any way. Bake a slice of ham and baste with honey and orange juice for a real flavor treat. ; Mix roquefort cheese with Wor cestershire sauce and beat until fluffy. Spread on top of hambur gers just before broiling. LXNN CHAMBERS’ MENUS •Summer Meat Loaf Potato Salad J Wilted Lettuce Molded Fruit Salad Wheat MufiBiu' •.

The fountain play- iiig in the foreground beyond the high iron fence, flowers in bloom; sun bright, peaceful, as traffic rolled Jeisurely up and down Pennsylvania avenue. I flashed my pass at the gate, and the guard waved me up the paved driveway toward the White House press room. It wasn’t a good press conference. I felt sorry for the President, a little embarrassed. For here he .was, heading the world’s most pow erful nation . . . the world’s big gest government . . . the world’s only great Democracy and he was, figuratively, wringing his hands. Why was he wringing his hands? There is only one an swer. Because the world’s most powerful nation, the World’s, big gest government and the world's only great Democracy is not united behind him. Our power is being cliityed and hacked un til othM 1 nations who stood . shoulder to shoulder with us are fearful. Our legislative branch of the government is cringing, supine, and there is not a ves tige of leadership apparent on either side of the political fence. What little legislation that is enacted is shot-gun legislation, worse , than none. And our gre&t Democracy, under test at this moment as never before in history . . . watched by the rest of the world . . . is apparently fu tile, running in circles, seemingly rudderless . . . without unity, tack ing this way. and that with every gust of a wilful wind. Selfishness In Saddle WhyT Because personal selfish ness is rampant . . . because arro gant labor leaders grasp at mo ments of national opportunity to seek more power . . . because members of congress are afraid to face facts . . . because farmers refuse to sell grain at parity prices even when their government offers a bo nus, to feed starving fellow human beings . . . because ranchers and cattle raisers sell meat to the black market so they can get more than ceiling prices . . . because every mother’s son of us will buy from the black market or any place else In our scramble to get what we want when we want it . . . because manufacturers withhold goods from market waiting for inflation prices . .. because industrial and business leaders grab the opportunity created by selfishness of labor leadprs to penalize all labor . . . because congress, stung, as John L. Lewis single-handed, defies the govern ment and slows up the reconversion program in his grab for power and money, fiddles and “deliber ates” . . . because business men in their mad grab for more money would tear away the last vestige of controls for a shibboleth they have named “free enterprise” and which is not freedom but license—and so. we are quarreling and squabbling and stumbling and staggering . . . and the world which looked toward this nation as the hope of the world .;.. the one great, firm rock . . . now gasps with amazement and horror, their hopes rapidly fading. 'And We Jitterbug’ We have wealth, the .produc tive. capacity in field and factory, the raw materials, the manpower, the know-how, the consumer demand, the world . demand, we have everything in- ' eluding the amputees, the soul .'weary veterans, the lame and halt-wounded, the hospitalized ' ’ victims of a world war . . . and we have the ideal for wMch they fought and a quarter of a million of them died. . We have the atomic bomb with which a wavering congress is afraid to deal. . . and all humanity fears a craven man with a gun in his ^band . . . mid we' jitterbug. We are deadlocked everywhere along every front. .. our secretary of state makes commitments and our congress blocks the props from under Mm and from under our vet erans and members of the armed forces. If congress haddeliberateiy set out to sabotage and hamstring our foreign policy they could have - done nothing more injurious than what they did do by voting their own personal selfishness on the se lective service bill, responding to election year pressures. At- this particular time in the world’s history there is no substitute for strength and this most powerful nation is showing nothing but weak ness . . . dll brought about by per sonal selfishness and intolerance. And when you watch this thing first hand . ... as it is unfolded here in Washington, it is not a pretty thing to see, nor to contemplate.. Are we !going to let the. rest of the world down . . . are we going to let ourselves, down . . . for Miat is happening is there for all to see . . . it’s in your town and on your farm and it’s here in Washington.

Just when it first appeared as a beverage no one can say exactly. But that it was an Ara bian discovery seems very likely in view of the fact that coffee grew wild In that part of the world before the ninth century after Christ, and fanciful Arainan nights tales have been handed down about the fint brew. The most popular legend concerns Kaldil an Arabian goatherd, whose dull Iile on the hillside made w™ a gloomy Joe indeed. But he picked and ate some of the berries his goats were fond of nibbling,, because he noticed that alter eating these berries, the goats became gay creatures. Kaldi himself became a new «»»"- Hereafter coffee berries were indis pensable to his diet, and so carefree and lively did he become that he often joined his goats in a m e r r y dance. A monk, to whom Kaldi confided his experiences, prepared a -drink from the beans and served it to the members of his order. They found the beverage sustained their energy and helped them to pray and medi tate longer, so they adopted the drink and cultivated the plant Gradually the popularity of the beverage spread to Turkey, where, in 1554, the first public coffee house was established. It was introduced to the Venetians in 1615, the French in 1644, the English and Viennese in 1650, and it was brought to North America in 1668. But promptly the power of the beverage to stimulate dear thinking and plain taifcfag con verted the popular coffee houses into discussion dubs: And political de bate that exploded into dissension,’ direct action and resistance made coffee houses the targets of tyrants like Charles H of England, who termed them seminaries of sedition. But, according to Disraeli, London and Paris coffee houses of the seven teenth and eighteenth centuries held the minor to “the manners, the morals and the politics at a people.* Here in colonial United States, too, the coffee house became the meeting bouse of the town fathers, and after a time ehanged from purely social centers to focal points of merchant trade and political discussion. Danid W ebster called Boston’s Green Dragon Coffee House “the headquar ters of the American Revolution.” Tlie Dutch took the coffee plant , to South America bade around 1716, with a result that every sixth grader knows. Today's coffee plantations in Pan-America produce three-fourths of: the - world's coffee.. And because we are the world’s greatest coEtee drinkers, of course we’re the biggest customers for the Pan-American yield. AU previous invoiceswere topped in 1945* when the United States' imported 20,279,690 bags of coffee, each containing 132 pounds! ; j looxiNa AHEAD GEORGE & BENSON PutUat~JUtilM$ CMUft S t u t f t M b m u i Why Argue? Ever since V - J Day, which most Americans look upon as the end of World War Q, we have all recog nized a high clamor of communistic propaganda. With sound reason ing, a great many well-meaning peo ple have tried to oppose it on the street corners, to no avail. It is like arguing with a headline inyes- ttrday’B newspaper. To be really effective, our opposition must go deeper, much deeper. . TTiere are not many things that I like less or fear more than con centration of political power, gov ernment by men rather than by -tew, and official favoritism for indi viduals and cliques; and Fm not alone. I am convinced that an over whelming majority of Americans fed the same way. ConsequenUy I hope these few remarks may im prove the measure of protection for US alL lim e Ior Aetlon Wordy arguments never contrib ute much to the world’s progress or to any people’s store of knowledge. In fact, taking a stand in opposition to another man’s harangue serves without fail to dignify the harangue and call attention to it Debating a false philosophy always helps it and, unless opposition is' well han dled, there’s a danger of giving more help than hindrance. TT>e propaganda machine we hear so plainly has been chattering away for two decades. Promotions, good and evil, ride on the wings of news, and newr is necessary. Publishers, columnists and radio commentators chronicle real happenings, day by day. Don’t blame them. They perform an essential public service. Find the SourceOf' course there must be a few publishers who are unpatriotic, and writers who would stir up a revolu tion it they could, but these are not the nation’s chief danger. When news is really poisoned, the job is done by those who m a k e news, not those Vdio print and broadcast it. Let us know the truth because the truth will make us free; free from our political enemies as well as other kinds. Journalists tell me that news arti cles have value (i.e. deserve prom inence) in proportion to the number of people interested. Thus persons in positions of power make news because a lot of people are interest ed in what these men think and say and do. If the rulings they decree or the opinions they express seem socialistic, there’s nothing honor able for news men' to do but tell the people. Ifs their country. Starve It OutRadical propaganda undoubtedly does this nation damage. I believe a big majority of Americans are wholesome people, love their country and understand what makes it the world’s best place to live and most influential power. Just the same, poisoned news gains converts. And so long as men in power wish to gain more power, the campaign for collectivism will be carried on. At its source is the best place to quiet the voice of socialist promo tion. Men vriM hanker to boss the schools, control hospitals, limit pro duction and eternally fix prices ought' to be put where their every word and deed does not make news —out of power. There is a sure way: Sop the flow «1 revenue out Ot the Treasury into the hands of siich appointed “rulers.” That will start immediately and effectively to jsolv* the problem of collectivist propaganda. m u uM nun are sorely neeaea to day, but in Washington last month I was shown the silver lining. Rep. Sumners is “retiring” to A more strategic Iheatre of war. The people of America have a dan ger that is common to them all and a common duty to defend them* selves against it. This nation’s hop* for a bright future depends on a few facts being seen by a great' many people at once. AmeriMns can be depended upon for action at any time the truth is not hidden from them or distorted beyond rec ognition. Mt. Sumners wQl soon start talking straight to them. Powerful Truths “I have watched what my own generation . . . has been doing to the greatest system of democratic government ever evolved through the processes of the ages,” said the veteran lawmaker. "By ignoring principles and the lessons of his tory, accepting for our guidance the theories of men and political ex pedience, we have made dependents Of our citizens and vassals of our states. uQy concentration of power and drafts on the Federal Treasury we now have a bewildering govern mental agglomeration impossible of democratic control. Wastahil and inefficient, by nature it 1s the instru mentality a t favoritism, oppression and corruption. It is the destroyer of self-reliance, self-respect and self- governing ability without which no people can remain free." But There’s Hope A public awakening will save this country from any form of tyranny. Mr. Sumners does not doubt this. Be said, “Washington is as sensi tive to the changing currents of public opinion as a barometer is to re cord changes in the weather.” If acts of congress tail to reflect pub lic sentiment, it is because such sen timent is itself confused or indis tinct to the majority. Mr. Sumners is taking to the lec ture platform. I wish him as wide a hearing as his profound experi ence deserves. Popular education is the right place to start winning for America a future of freedom. TUs man has seen Congress sweat under heat applied by political pres sure groups. He sees the need to open a door and admit a cooling draft of public sentiment. And he can do it. ' Bemarkable Record Born in Tennessee, Hatton Sum ners turned 21 in Texas.

He is a nationally recognized authority on Constitutional Law. He is chair man o£ the House Judiciary Com mittee and has been for a long time. In a brief and. eloquent word-pic- ture of official Washington, the retiring crusader for decentralization of power said of Congress: “The political backing of a well organized minority is consistent and depend able whereas the backing of an un organized majority is fickle,” That’s clear.

Iaenboar. Hiddenite. N. C. The natnn l tendency of man kind is to do evil for evil, but this is not tbe plan and will of God for. our lives. No one ever goes right when he goes enntrarv to the plan and will of God. neither does be come ont triumphantly in the end An old saving is, “If you kill mv dog I’ll kill your cat." which is returning evit for evil, wrong for wrong, injury for injury. Sinners do this hut Christians do good for evil. “ Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, tivc as brethren, be piti. fnl, be courteous: not rendering e. vil for evil, or railing for railing; but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are therennto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.” You will notice here that tbe Apostle says we shall enherit a blessing if we retnrn good for evil. But we are nowhere promised a blessing if we do evil for evil. Thank God tor the blessing that comes to every true Christian who does good for evil Hallelujah! “ For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his ton. gue from evil, and bis lips that thev speak no guile; let him es chew evil, and do good; let him seek peace,, and ens ie it, For the eyes of tl.e Lord are over the righ. teous, and bis ears are open unto their prayers; but tbe face of the Lord is against them that dqevil. Men never make a success in life l>y doing evil for evil, wrong fot wrong, and going contrary to God’s Word. Neither are men made bap- py by doing evil for evil. Neither do tbey look great noble and snb- Iime bp so doing. Men who have it in their hearts to “get even”* with others by doing wrong cer tainly don’t have the spirit of the Lord le-us Christ. Here is a quo tation I wish to pass on: “ No one ever did a designed injury - to an other, but at the same time he did a much greater to himself.” We never, never go wrong by going according to tbe teaching of tbe blessed Bible. This book of God teaches us to do good for evil. When we do this we cau have a clear, conscience toward mankind, feel happy in our hear and soul, and realize in ihe meantime that God Is pleased with us. Blurred Thinking Joining a minor chorus that cri ticizes the delegates to the meet ings and conferences of tbe United Nations because tbey must have their liquor, the president of Bos ton university suggests that they might think more .clearly if they didn’t always have to have a pri vate bar set up everywhere they meet. Without being called a fanatic or it spoil party, that does seem to be rather reasonable. The people of the world ptefer pot to have their lives arrangad by those with blurred minds.

Shocking charges were presented at Dobson and at Danbury, but the election boards did their very best to clamp down tight tbe lid to prevent tbe stench from oozing out in too iarge a volume. Representative John Folger said at the very beginning of the. cam paign that be did not have the money to finance a campaign nor did' he have the time to be away from his duties in Washington Suddenly be found th..t he had both in plenty.

Clay, in Winston-Salem JooinaL Why is it that when some folks get hold of the steering wheel of a car they lose all sense of common courtesy I do not know, but it is often die case. Take the matter of a-person who is parked and he wants to g e t into the flow of traf fic. The cars will jam up so dose together that it is often impossible for one to pull out of his parking space. Andif you see a litde opening and try to get in line the fellow coming on will scream his horn, at you and speed up in or der to cut you off. If the people in line had common coustesy they wouid let an imprisoned car out, if would get in line, thus opening parking space for someone who is looking for space. It would mean a halt of less dun half a minute* it would let an imprisoned car out, it would make one more par king space for some one behind, but nosir-ee, there is not one in a hundred who ‘is courteous enough to let the imprisoned parker on to die highway. What we need is-an Emily Post on highway eti quette.

U TBDMAN AND WHITNEY WASHINGTON.—Those who have sat in on the hectic dosed-door con- ferences over the railroad strike report that it isihard to say who has been sorest at the prima donna tac tics of “Brother” A.

At one time probably the President of the United States was the most irked at the grandstanding Mr. Whitney. Tnrnian even had difficul ty getting Whitney to stay in Wash ington. He was constantly threat ening to stage an opera exit to Cleveland without even bothering to advise the Whte House. This brought a sharp tongue-lash ing from the President during one of their meetings. “What do you mean to do— walk out on the President of the United States?” Truman roughly inquired of “Brother” Whitney. “No, sir,” responded Whitney— and his voice lacked its usual brusqueness. “Weil, then yon had better stay here until we get this thing settled and try to show a Uttle more co-operation,” snapped Truman.• • • GOP WHITE HOPE While the East and Middle West are conjuring with the names of Stassen, Bricker and Dewey as Re publican .presidential candidates in 1948, some strong medicine is brew ing in the politically dynamite-laden state of California which may put another name in the limelight. For in next month’s primary Earl War ren may win the Democratic nom ination for governor, as well as the Republican. Vniet California’s odd election law, candidates may enter both the BepubIican and Democratle primaries. And under a clever law passed by the state legis lature last year, Warren’s name wiU be printed at the top of both the Republican and Demoeratie ballots, despite the fact that Warren is a Republican and his rival, 'Attorney . General Bob ’Kenny, a Democrat. Today Warren has split Kenny’s labor support, has won the backing of the APL hierarchy and may very well pile up enough Democratic votes to kill all competition in the final election. This would make him a very important presidential candidate.• • • GOVERNMENT LETTERS The Civil service commission has just issued a fancy pamphlet tell ing government employees how tq write letters. A section devoted to “What’s Wrong With GovernmeSt Writing?" reads in part: “Are you one of the people who think all government writing must be impersonal end legalistic? . . . What does it profit a man if he writes the long way around—and loses his reader? Why use horse-and-buggy writing in an airplane age? “Let’s cut long sentences into bites we can swallow,” the civil service rhetorician urges govern ment writers. “Shorten your sen tences to an average of 17 words.” But here is the payoff: Hie first sentence of a foreword in the booklet contains 27 words; the second, 18 words; the third, 29 words; the fourth, 22 words, and the fifth, 18 words.* * • Il-A-YEAB MeGBADY Jovial Ed McGrady 1 vice presi dent of tiie Radio Corporation of America and ex-assistant secretary of labor, was asked by a newsman if it were true Labor Secy.

I was merely gathering a .few Autumn leaves and some bit tersweet berries to put in the blue pottery bowl in my front window.” Megan was trembling a little, though she knew she was being silly. The UtUe scene with Tom Fallon had been so absurdly innocent; yet there was something in the sly, fur tive manner of Alicia’s mentioning it that had made it seem evil and scheming. Megan, still furious with AUcia and her nasty tongue, got away from the quilting party as early as she decently could. At least Mrs. Stuart understood, when, at the door she drew Megan aside and said forthrightly, “Now look here, Me gan, don’t pay no attention to that woman. Someone ought to take a gun to her and blow her to Kingdom Come, and that’s a fact!” Halfway down the road, she heard a cheerful voice and turned as a pretty girl of seventeen, her arms laden with schoolbooks, came running towards her. “Hi, Meggie,” said the girl, flushed and smiling, and very pret ty in a childish, round-faced, bright-eyed way. “Hello, Susie—you’re late getting home from school!” said Megan Hghtiy. “Had to stay after school and write a composition.

They walked together in compan ionable silence down the wide, un paved road, until suddenly Susie said bitterly, “I hear the Alicia dame dug her little stiletto into you' Mid Professor Fallon today! That makes you a m e m b e r , i n good standing, of my own club.” Megan caught her breath and stopped still. “How on earth did you hear—” she began in amazement.

But this afternoon, ,Alicia let- drop the infor mation that since he and I’d- spent hours together on the Ridge I must know him pretty well!" Susie nodded meaningfully. “Sure—that’s why I said you were now. a member in good standing of my club!” she answered. - Megan laughed a tittle. “What club, is-that?” she wanted to know. “The Club of ‘Why the devil doesn’t, somebody do something to shut Alicia Stevenson up?’ ” an swered Susie, “it’s composed of practically every man, woman and child within a radius of ten miles of Pleasant Grove.- Personally, I’d like to see her with her throat cat from ear to ear!” “Susie!” gasped Megan, between shock and pity for the girl whose bloodthirsty words Were at such comical variance, with her Dresden china prettiness,, her young, smooth flesh and shining blue eyes and golden hair. - “Oh, it won’t happen, of coursa,” said Susie ruefully. “People like that live to a ripe old age—and then turn into hen’s teeth! They never die—or have accidents!”. Megan put an arm about the slim shoulders and gave Susie a tittle hug. “Well, don’t let her get you down, Susie. After all, everybody knows what.she’s tike.” “Sure—and when She sticks that barbed tongue of hers into their own affairs, they say, .‘But of course, that’s not true.’ But when she’s stabbing, somebody else they say, “Now, I .wonder—’ ” Susie pointed but, with such truth that Megan could only agree with ,her soberly. . For a'little while they stood in silence, both of them looking uneas ily across the road and to the shab by little old cottage where lighted windows proved that Alicia was at home., The cottage set well back from the road and there were a few trees surrounding it ' It was a square, boxlike house, never paint-' :es at the windows, and the place had taken on a rather surprised perkiness. - “Oh, well—*’ said Susie at last, and heaving a sigh/ -“U I don’t get on home,-mother will have connip tion fits and upset dad so that his dyspepsia will be ..worse than ever —and I would like to go to the school dance the Saturday after Thanksgiving.” - She said good night and went on along the road. A quarter ot a mile farther on, she would come to the substantial, old-fashioned red brick house that -was Pleasant Grove’s finest home. Susie was tiie only child of Lawyer Bartlett and his wife, Maysie. The Bartletts were, next to the:Burns, Pleasant Grove’s most substantial citizens, and Mrs. Bartlett was not one to let the town forget that for a moment. There were times when Megan felt extremely sorry for Susie—and to night was one of those times. She sighed a little and went into the house, where Annie had supper al most ready to serve. Her father was waiting for her, very comfortable in his smoking jacket and slippers, provided with a new book (which had. cost three dollars and a half, and which Me gan could have borrowed for him from the small, but good local library) so he was inclined to be genial - For which small favor, Megan told herself wearily, she was glad! For the next two or three days, although she told herself she was being a fool, Megan deliberately avoided seeing Tom Fallon at all. He had been in the habit of stopping on his way home from school late in the afternoon to get milk, butter, Snd eggs which he bought from her. Shehad always been the one to give them to him, but for the next two or three days, she saw to it that she was somewhere else when he stopped by, and Annie, puzzled and watchful, waited on him. But on Saturday, she was in the chicken yard checking up on a set ting hen who was due to hatch her brood in a tew days, when Tom came to the back fence and spoke to her. “Good morning,” he said, almost warily. ■' Megan turned, startled, and felt her face grow hot, even as she greeted him casually and matter- of-factly. He waited for.her to come to the fence before he said anxiously, “I’ve been a tittle worried—and deeply puzzled. “I’ve -tried my darnedest to think what I could have done to upset you—” Megan, laughed/and hated herself because the laugh sounded artificial. “What nonsense, Professor!” “But you have avoided me, and I thought possibly something I said or did—” he began anxiously. Megan looked up at him and said quietly end frankly, “I see you haven’t heard the news, Mr. Fal lon!” Puzzled, noting her use of the for mal prefix rather than the careless friendly “Professor” that was al most a nickname, he said quickly, “News? No, I am afraid- I haven’t—" . “I feel very silly to be relaying it to you—but I know Pleasant Grove so well — the attitude towards teachers — especially towards the. principal of the school—” She floundered miserably and was silent. Tom said quietly, “I think you had better tell me straight, Miss MacTarisb-” '“There seems to be a rumor about' that you and I have been' meeting secretly on the Ridge—” She let him have it almost in a single breath. Tom stared at her as though he thought she had lost her mind. And: then his face hardened and his eyes blazed. and he said through his teeth, “Where in blazes—who’d try to start a lie tike that?” Megan made a weary tittle ges ture. “It’s too silly—and too—cheap to notice,” she' pointed out to him: “Except-that since you are new here .and this is your first year—oh, I feel an utter fool about the whole thing. But I thought it would be better if we—well, we’ve done noth ing to start gossip, so it seems a tittle difficult to Imow how to stop it- ” Tom said sternly, “Who started this, talk?” “Mrs. Stevenson,"'answered Me gan frankly. “She happened to be on the Ridge the'afternoon we met Iqr accident, and chose to believe that we were meeting there fegu- arly—and as secretly as possible-^" “But that’s nonsense—she could not possibly believe Snything so - so—darned sillyl" Tom exploded. “I don’t think she really believes it, but she seems to get quite a lot ot pleasure out of* dropping tittle significant remarks." ■ Puzzled, Tom said, “Who is tills Mrs. Stevenson? I suppose she has a child in school, but I don’t seem to recall the: name, though it’s not unusual, of course.” (iffBsccannnmi IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYIcHooL Lesson B y H A R O L D L .

STRENGTHENING BONDS OF FELLOWSHIP LESSON TEXT—Lake 22:14-20; JOIin I?: SC. 20, ZL MEMORY SELECTION—A new commandment I give unto you. That ye love one another; as I have loved you. that ye also love one another.—John 13:34. Fellowship is a word which comes to its Adl meaning only in the relationship between-the Lord and believers, which also brings them into just such a relationship with one another. The Lord seeks his people and gives himself in friendship to them, even to the full devotion of death. Shall .we do less for one another?Our lesson presented four ways in which Christ fellowshiped with his disciples. I. The Fellowship of the Passover (Luke 22:14-18). It was late on Thursday, of what we call Holy Week, that Jesus and his disciples came to the upper room where Peter and John had already made preparation for the observ ance of the Passover (Luke 22:8).This feast had (since that great and awful night of Israel’s redemp tion out of Egypt’s bondage) pointed forward to the Christ and to bis cross as the fulfillment of the type cf redemption by the shedding of blood. Our Lord looked forward with in tense desire to the Passover which Ce now observed with his disciples, for it was the last celebration Cf that feast, recognized by God. All that it had foreshadowed of deliver ance and hope was fulfilled in him who now sat at the table. He had moved forward with resolute pur pose to this day when his mission on earth was to be accomplished, and he was to become the Chris tian’s Passover lamb (I Cor. 5:7). The Passover was a solemn feast of remembrance of God’s deliver ance from the bondage of Egypt, but it was now to be replaced by a new feast of remembrance of eternal significance. They went on into II. The Fellowship ot the Lord's Table (Luke 22:19, 20). Taking the unleavened bread and the unfermented wine of the Pass- over which had just been observed, Jesus established the Christian feast of remembrance, which we call communion, or the Lord’s table. His words are significant, "For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he come” (I Cor. 11:26). At the. Lord’s table his followers find spiritual strength in re calling his death for them, but they also fold joy as they remember that he is to come again. They thus testi fy to the world that they believe and cherish these truths. 'Our Lord also spoke of the cup as “my blood of the new testament.” The word “testament” means cov enant. The Lord’s table, therefore, speaks of our allegiance to him, of our loyalty to our Lord, and of our devotion to his service. That is why the (Christian church speaks of communion as a sacrament, a word from the - Latin sacramentum, meaning' oath, and essentially an oath of allegiance. In . The Fellowship ' of God’s Word (John 17:6-8). # ... John gives us a blessed account of the fellowship of Jesus and his disciples in the upper room, and then takes us into what is indeed “the Holy of Holies” of Scripture, our Lord’s intercessory prayer. Here “the High Priest of our pro fession” (Heb. 3:1) brings us into the very presence of God. At the very beginning of his peti tions for them' and for us (see v. 20 ) be ,‘speaks of the word which the Father had given him and which he had given to them. . This tittle company of men had been given to Christ, drawn out of the evil world and set apart for God’s work. But note that the thing which distinguished them in the eyes of the Lord was that they had “kept” the word of God, even as they had received the tiring word, Christm as the one: whom the Father had sent. .Thatrkind of fellowship with ttie Lord makes a man strong and use ful. ,.Life and Iestimcniy-.-both ring- true ''because they exalt Oirist : IV. The Fellowship of Prayer (John 17:20, 21). ‘ Christ prayed for his disciples, hot only those immediately pres ent/but all who should through the ages since that day believe in Christ becguise/of their witness. - That puts each one o t u s , who is a true disciple, right into the center sf the greatest prayer fellowship of all time. He, the eternal and omnipo tent one, prays for us. Why then should we be weak and faltering in our testimony or have failures in our life? Can it be that we have foiled to count on his prayer and have tried to walk in:our own strength? The prayer for unify (v. 21)-does hot speak of an outward-uniting of religious bodies such as, is much favored and promoted in our day. Certainly where such' unify can be attained . without the sacrifice of principle or compromise with false doctrine it is desirable. Beal unify is that of the heart. ■ ' Povies for Bathroom From Yard of Chintz S H O W E R C U R T A I N PMS marvelous what you can do with a yard of flowered chintz.

Wonderful world we are living in. Seems like the President and Cbngress has agteed to disagree. What one wants th e other wouldn’t have. How nice it is to dwell together in peace and unity. We didn't have any OPA after the first World War, and we didn't have to pay $4 for a dollar shirt at that time. We need the OPA just as much as we need the KKK. The men or set of men who will love this country as long as they are getting our cash and food, and who begin to hate us when we try to collect, are mighty small folks and their friendship is worth nothing. Tourists passing through Mocksyille on Wednesday after' noon are led to believe that the town is dead and buried.

ToThe FARMERS O f T h i s C o m m u n i t vVr You no doubt have read or heard statements regarding the advance in the retail price of farm machinery which was announced by OPA on Saturday, May 11th, which inferred that the increase in price to the farmers was only Z% May we at this time call'your attention to the fact that this is incorrect; the raise in the retail prices in most cases is 5% but the raise to the manufac turer on a wholesale basis is 10 25%. This increase in price was due to the requests from mnnufacturers of farm equipment primarily because o^increas- ed labor costs and the increase costs of materials and component parts needed to manufacture farm machinery. THIS MEANS that our farm equipment dealers must operate from now on, on a 20% less working margin that they had before May 10,1946. THIS MEAN'S that your service dealer, even though his operating costs have mounted tremendously during this war period, must operate on a lesser margin than he did during Wold War it. When all other indus tries, nationwide, were demanding increases for their products, your farm equipment retailers did not ask for any increase. THIS DECREASE MEANS that many of your farm equipment retailers will be forced to curtail the services that have made it possible for you to operate during these emergency periods with many obsolute machines even when new repair parts were not available. This means that many farm equipment dealers may be forced to remove from their payroll mechanics, servicemen, and other employees, many of them G- !.’a, so that their operating costs will be in line with their reduc tion in their earning margin. THIS MEANS that many deaiets, because of this “squeeze” in dealer’s working margin, may be forced to close their doors and discontinue their operations. AU we ask of you, Mr. Farmer* is that you consider your welfare, and if you feel that we have done a good job for you during these uIiectic years,” that you please contact your Congressmen and Senators and ask them to restore to us the working margins we Had before this new OPA ruling. Please bear in mind that we are not asking for any increase, but we cannot stand a reduction at the present time if we are to con tinue our operations. We would be pleased to have you stop in at our stores to discuss more thoroughly this program which is threatening to destroy the farm equipment reatailers of America.

Return of Dead Heroes Veterans’ Service Bureau has re ceived many letters from Gold Star parents asking about regulations for returning bodies of deceased men in the armed services to this country. Up to this time we have been able to give general answers only. However, President Truman has just signed a new law provid ing appropriations, and setting up regulations for. the .return of Siese heroes from military cemeteries in other countries. Under the new law the families of deceased personnel will have the option of: Having the remains returned to the U. S. A. for final interment in a national cemetery near their home, the cost to’ be borne entirely by the government; Returning the remains to the States for burial by next of Idn in a private cemetery, the government to pay $50 toward cost of local in terment expense and all costs of shipping the body home; Burying the deceased in a perma nent American military cemetery overseas. The first shipment of war dead is not expected much before the end of this year due to shortages in caskets. In the meantime the army and navy will poll next of kin of completely identified dead as to dis position of the remains. The process will take some time and in quiries will be mailed as the rec ords of the 356 temporary ceme teries overseas are completely veri fied. Of the 328,000 American serv ice war dead, it is estimated that 75,000 never will be found. Ship ment of the deceased soldiers will be made in special funeral ships painted white with a wide purple - stripe circling the ship. The flag- draped 1 seamless caskets will be transferred under military escort to 13 redistribution points on arrival In special funeral trains, converted' hospital coaches, and Ihence sent to their final resting place. Cost of returning the bodies will be about $700 per man, borne as pointed out above, by the government.• • . • Qoettiona and Answen Q. I would like to know if my brother, a veteran of World War I, Is entitled to a boons. He was operated on last April of 1945 for * rapture which started when he was In service loading ammunition at Cdmp Amatol, N. I. Be was in the hospital at Lake City, Fla. The trouble started when he was in serv ice and he just kept letting it run until he had to be operated on and he is now disabled as far as work* tng.—Mrs. G. H., Cleveland, Ohio. A. No, he is not entitled to a bonus, since he already has re ceived his World War I bonus. He may be entitled to a disability pen sion. Suggest that he apply to the regional office of the Veterans’ ad ministration, Cuyahoga Building, Cleveland. My husband is in Japan. He has been over there seven months and ta the arinj- 14 months in all. I am In very bad health and anable to take care of our two small girls and myself. Is there any chance of his getting a dependency discharge? He has only 38 points.—Mrs. O. S., Union Grove, Ala. A. The only answer I can give is for him to apply to his commanding officer for dependency discharge and see what happens. Q. My husband has been in the service for 19 months ««* has 43 points as of September 2, 1945. He Is serving overseas in- a tank bat talion. ,When will he be eligible (or discharge?—D. Ji J., Beaure gard, Miss. * A. Latest army regulations say that all men with 40 points as of September 2, 1945, or with 24 months service as of June 30, 1946, will be home by June 30. After June 30 further regulations likely will be announced. Q. My son is in the army and I receive a dependency allowance from him. Would I be entitled to free medical treatment and hospit alization?—Mrs. p . P., Fort Oak ley, Miss. > A. Dependents of the four lowest pay grades are entitled to free med ical treatment. Suggest you apply to your nearest army hospital or' dispensary. Your local Red Cross can help you. <{. My husband has been in serv ice slice Jnne 8,1943, and has been OTetseas since January, 1944.—Wife, Scottsboro, Ala. A. As of September 2, 1945, he had approximately 48 points and will have had almost three years of service. If he applied tor his dis charge, he should be home now. Q. Do all World War I widows get a pension now?—H. E . J., Ode,: Neb. A. Yes, under certain conditions. Suggest you apply to the contact unit, Veterans’ Administration, Post Office Bldg. at Hastings, Neb. Baked meat loaf is simple to pre pare and easy to serve for affairs where guests are numerous. Bake the loaf in either small or large loaves. Slipper Plans Given As Aid in Planning To Serve Fifty Social calendars get very active during the summer months because vacations arid weather offer such a grand op portunity for get ting together a big party. Per haps the Sunday school picnic is just around the comer, or perhaps' the ladies’ aid is planning a- biff treat tor their husbands soon. Whatever' the occasion, you’ll' surely want to put forth your- v & y best cookery and serve everyone amply. This will call tor' some careful planning; and also, large quantity recipes. If the church has a kitchen fitted with large quantity cooking utensils, plan to make generous use of' it. Meats and vegetables can best be prepared there. Some member may wish to contribute enough in dividual salads and perhaps cakes and pies to make up for the rest of fiie meat Good planning which takes into consideration every angle will make .the affair a successful one. Recruit plenty of help so that no two or three women are tied to the kitchen range’ all the time. Everytaie will have a better time, if all have some leisure. *Ham Loaf.

' JOHNSTON, retiring president of the United States chamber of commerce let loose a veritable atomic bonib in his swan song at the recent ahnual meeting ot-the chamber at Atlantic City. He outlined the course he. thinks capi talist must follow, if it is to Survive in this country. ' .And today as a result, while thou sands of businessmen and farmers and laborers hail his speech as one ofrJthe finest expressions Of progres sive thought ofthe day .... ott ers, are still holding their heads in utter horror at the blasphemy which dropped from his lips . . . these are the monopolistic standpatters of the NAM, some of the frozen apos tles .of special privilege in their plush chair club windows . . . some of the fat reactionaries of the house and . senate . . . toe lobbyists against the peoples’ interests and the backward-lookers and normalcy advocates.. Johnston’s denunciation of capi talism as we know it in this country was complete and all-inclusive, and his concept of a new capitalism as fresh and revitalizing as a spring shower. And the evidence is all about us-that unless-and until capi talism pulls itself up into a pro gressive 'power if will die in our country ' as it has died a waning death in Europe. Here are some of Johnston’s concepts: Capitalbin inudt change from monopolistic concentration: of power and influence-In the hands of the few into a competitive economic system designed for the enrichment of the many .and not to make a few men rich. The whole process of thinking of capitalism for the privileged few must be raised, to aplane where responsibility to .the public interest is the key word. . . . We must choose between the old capitalism that holds it has a closed and perfect system resting on con gealed and untouchable dogmas . . . against'orgaiiized labor, against government activity, against com* munity planning . . . and the new which must be a human institution, vibrant and evolutionary, capable of constantly adjusting itself to new conditions, justified by its works in stead of its words. Vl Tool of the Peopltf We must change from the old standpat conception of capital ism where people were merely the inert, tools of the system to the new or progressive conception where the system is a tool in the hands of the people. . We must change from the. old concept where man .ran rough-, shod over the rights of others, to the new where the: individual Is a free agent but not a free hooter, where man is more important than the machine or the products of the machine . . . where the primacy and dignity of man come first... We must turn from the old capi talism to recognize the supremacy- of ,the. individual ,and to recognize that modern mass production soci ety has caused individuals to band together for their well being into unions, corporations, farm organi zations, the co-operative, trade as sociations and-professional soci eties. We mu^t learn that; these volun tary but powerful organizations are the core of America’s new capital ism, but they must be regulated . . . the ideal way is a" maximum of self-regulation and1 a minimum of government- regulation setting up fair rules of the game. . . . Reatly Equal Opportunity Our new capitalism .calls for competition, not in the nostalgia of I the good old days of dog-eat-dog, but with a basic ingredient of equal opportunity . . . and there can be no equal opportunity without fair competition. _We must turn from the old monopolistic competition which throttled competition of the Uttle fel low to the new competition which ; provides opportunity for ideas, think- : ng, for- inventive minds, which holds prices reasonable, makes befc ter livihg, stimulates, but never I stymies opportunity. The . new capitalism must mean greater diffusion of the good things of life, more people owning more things, the enrich ment of the many, and not to thefoal of making a few men rich. We are for a great middle class economy which means fewer people at the top and few er at the bottom . . .then what’s the matter with a decent minimum wage? We say we really want to see I more diffusion of the good things of the world . ... . then what’s wrong J with profit sharing? What’s wrong] with giving workers a real incentive I to produce more for their own prof. it i . .. more people buying more I things so you can iqake more things which, more and more people can I buy... that’s what it would mean.

Nazi Germany Kept Rigid Surveillance Over Citizens Nazi Germany kept its citizens under com plete surveillance through an incredibly complex system of records and identifica tion papers, says Collier’s. Among the scores of various records was a thorough and up-to-the-minute register kept by each police sta tion of every person in its pre* cinct, including his activities and whereabouts which were obtained, for example, by requiring hotels and hospitals to make detailed reports of their incoming and out going guests and patients. Among the numerous papers each individual was required to carry was a Certificate of Conduct which showed whether he had a police record.

What will John Q. Public pay for what he wants? He will pay every cent he thinks it is worth to him. Ultimately he will be willing to pay more, if he finds out the item is worth more than he first thought. On the other hand he will kick at a price and refuse to pay it as soon 'as he finds out any item is worth less to him than the money he paid for it. These statements are so plain and simple that any schoolboy is able to understand them. You would hardly think anybody could get these facts mixed-up, but they are often used wrongly. Under them is hid the 1946 labor-management problem which is the most serious and the most dangerous one that has ever confronted this nation. What lies behind all the headlines telling about strikes? Can’t Get Together In extreme brevity, union laborers are asking their employers for more pay—more wages than the employers (for some reason) are willing to lay out. Why not pay working men whatever they ask? AU trades, especially farmers, want laborers to draw high wages because that’s the key to good times. Farmers, whose fields feed the work ers, have good markets and pros perity when labor prospers. The answer is not hard: The workers’ wages, just Uke the own ers’ profits come out of what John Q. PubUc wiU pay for what he wants. If the price is too steep for John, then there’s no sale and no profits and presently no wages. If the price is within reasonable range o t John’s pocketbook, he buys. That makes profits and wages —better jobs and more of them, and prosperity. High Wages Popular There U such a thing as oppres sion; I Ifave seen it in China. There 4* such a thing as exploitation of labor—ignorant labor. But it’s fool hardy to' mistreat workers in a modern American factory. If an employer should try holding wages down to fatten his own bank ac count, his customers would aU favor higher pay for his workers because (in such a case) it could be done without boosting prices. In most cases, when wages ad vance prices have to advance to cover the expense. There is no other way to raise wages except by boosting prices unless the prices al ready in force are fictitious and unfair, which competition seldom permits. Customers object to wage increases only when they call for prioe increases to cover them. Even then, Mr. PubUc .is not always right. Who Can Say When? Many a wage increase is appro priate and economically sound even When prices h a v e to be raised immediately to cover them. Boosting prices to pay better wages is good business, up to a point. But tiho* point? Up to the point Uiat John Q. Public gets slow about buying. So long as volume can stay large, the price is sound. When volume drops off and prices have to be boosted to pay for the blunder, that’s unsound. There are experts in every busi ness who can estimate with remarkable accuracy how many of this- or-that will sell for some stipulated price. They know long before the first one is made. This year, when steady jobs at good pay are so vital to everybody, prices should be set in advance to get volume sales. Labor, as weU as industry, should be interested in the right prices. ■ Versatile Dress I Saves for Bonds wW i■*v ‘W hen,dating directly from the office, business girl removes the black jacket, snaps oh a lame pep* him to match the top of the dress.

Trmrt Detarlmeu LOOKING AMEAD GEORGE & BENSON President—Jintiinj Caiiejt Start). Atkonstt M erchandise Warnings against inflation are beginning to reach us country people with increasing force and frequen cy. Nearly aU the experts who com ment on it say we have inflation al ready but it can get much worse. Accurate definitions of inflation are rather complicated. In fact, some of the definitions are harder to un derstand than the condition itself, such as we all can see by looking around. When just about everybody has spending money in their pockets be cause they can’t find enough of the things they want to buy, that is where inflation begins. The results are quite natural. Automatically people start bidding against each other for what items they do find, and prices advance far beyond real values. - Then, no matter what we buy, we are squandering money. Regulation Priees- ■ What we need to cure inflation is plain to see: more things to buy. That’s all it takes. If I need a hat and can find only one that fits my head and suits my taste, the dealer can (unless restrained by law) charge me whatever he wishes. I may rebel at the price but some body else will pay it and the mer chant will not need to worry about me. What will set the matter straight? More hats! When hats are offered by every haberdasher in town, some compet itor is certain to lower his prices to increase sales. Another will try to outdo him, and this competition continues until falling prices get too near cost to*go cheaper. It is that simple. Goods are the scarecrows that frighten away inflation. What ever interferes with the production of merchandise only makes infla tion worse. ' Artificial Feeding Inflation is like hunger. It is a want that has the full force of a need. Hunger includes a craving that throws a person's sense of values completely out of plumb. Food is the only satisfactory, answer to the hunger question and, just so. goods are the only sound solution to inflation. There are trick ways to hold prices down, when goods h a v e to be scarce, but they are only tem porary help. Once in a while somebody has a strange ailment that makes eating impossible, or very dangerous. Physicians deny such a patient food while they try to adjust the malady. Sometimes they use, drugs to make the patient sleep and forget his crav ing: sometimes they flow energiz ing liquids into the blood-stream, but it is no diet. Nobody can live on it; it only makes starvation slower. War Is a Malady Diving the war, people in Amer ica were rightly Venied goods; there were not enough workmen; not enough factories, not enough ma terials to supply the nation’s de fenders, our men and their allies. Consumer goods were scarce and a lot of people had extra money. AU prices would have skyrocketed but government restrained it by law. It was an emergency—drastic rem edy; no complaint Price controls did not contribute anything permanent to this country’s economic strength, however. They simply eased the shock for civilians who had to undergo eco nomic surgery or perish of dic tatorship. Now the ordeal is over' and the patient is wholesomely hun gry for merchandise. Every regu lation that now. retards production should be removed or relaxed in the public interest. UEBT- COMDR.

Eliminate Politics (WitmiDgtoD Star) President Truman has publicly declared that he wants stronglabor legislation. Yet be did not sign the Case bill on the ground that it was too strong. Thus the ques tion seems to be: Wbat is strong? Obviously there are too many de finitions. What is strong enough for one person is too strong for an other or too'weak for a third: In the meantime organized labor has disregarded all definitions and done as it wanted, calling strikes where and when it saw fit, placing heavy handicaps upon industry, de fying the government and while representing only a minority of the population, exercising power over the majority to its detriment and' and economic harm. It is impossible to escape the be lief that if Mr. Truman and Con gress could ger politics ont of tbeir minds and deal with the labor ques tion sternly and with justice re gardless of the November elections and the presidential poll in T948, something wou'd be done without delav to put Iahor into its fair aud prooer place and take from it the dictational position its leaders have gained.

The incumbents were duly nominated and primary book's unopened The Democratic paper in Davie County has changed bands 15 times in the past 39 years. Condemned FromWithin Charlotte Observer, Leo F. Gentner, OPA regions) administrator for the New York area, has resigned that Important position with the price agency. As he takes leave of his office, Mr. Gentner lays down a barage of criticisms of OPA policies which must be utterly startling to those pattisans qf the agency who have held that ’’the king can do no wrong.” Here this extract from his re marks: ‘‘Isn’t it better to have suits a vail able at 840 or $45 than to sav, ‘We are keening prices of suits at $35, but we have no suits!’ Re tailers can’t continue Io absorb costs. A lot of these people are absorbed up to tbeir necks now . . Just because yon lift price controls, the price doesn’t automatically go sky. high. Tha't doesn’t alwavs happen I think the sooner we can return to the system of free enterprise, the better it will be. But price control has bean neces. sary.” Mr. Gentner is thus making the same points against the maladmin. Istration practices of the QPA which its critics have been uttering for months on end. His statement is also a complete vindication of the position- which Congress is expected to take In a few days to correct the iniquities and the disastrous practices of this agency. Wbo could be a more competent witness to the shamele'-s mischief which the OPA has wrought upon the national economy than Mr Gentner who has been the bead man in the largest district office of that organization and who. when be resigns his place, informs the Amarican people in no uncertain tones of the failures and shortcom ings aud abuses of the administra tion in which he has bad so large a hand. The New York Times which has been an unrelenting critic of the OPA1 finds some interesting ques. tions suggested by the statement of Mr. Gentner: "If the.situation is as bad as Mr. Gentner implies,” that newspaper asks, ‘‘whv didn’t he.do something about it when he was Regional Price Administratorf aHow many other officials in the OPA- would agree with Mr. Gentner but are reluctant or unable to express their dissenting views publicly? In the light of’such criticism why do OPA officials insist lbat the emergency Price Control act must he extend ed without important amendment?” Despite theover-and-over rehash ed ravings of mr. Bowles and: OPA Chief Paul Porter: Congress will no doubt take norice tbat, in its move to make intelligont amend ments to the Price Cobtrol act be- fore it is continued for another year, it has added substantially - to its good grounds for such Iegisla tion the.opinion .of an outstanding OPA authority himself.

He has the figures and per centages, so we won’t attempt to dispute his word. But we hate to think how other armies behaved- Must have been awful. Same day the'general heaped bis praise, the Army announced the asrest of a colonel and a WAC captain for the theft of a iqilllou and a half dollars’ worth of Hes sian crowv jewels. Only a month ago the command ing general In Europe' took steps to tighten discipline among occu pation forces, admitting that im morality, pilfering, gambling and black market activities were get ting ottt of hand. Everv few days one reads about a. German fraulein found dead in some American officers’ diggings. From the Philippines, from Ja- pan and from Europe come reports of crimes committed bv American service personnel, inrluding mur der, assault, rape, robbery, bank holdnps and wbat not. . We.agree with General Green that “the vast majoti'yof the mem bers of this peoples’ army conduct ed themselves as well disciplined, law-abiding soldiers,” and that’s no Ivss'tban was expected of them. These were picked men and wom en. They bad been screened, no one with a cr minal record was per mitted to serve, and those with un stable mentalities were kept out. Yet about 100 oqo of the service personnel came in conflict with mi liiary law and received sentences by general court martial.

Charity and Children More Drunken Driving Four out of the five cases re ported tried in Iredell County Re corder’s coort Monday were fot driving. If that is more than tbe usual percentage it is a distressing sign that this type of offense is on the-increase, and that suspended sentences, cash fines and suspen sion of driver’s licenses are insnffi- cent deterrents. Three of the four drivers were in vo(ved ioto auto accidents resulting in property damage. If no one suffered serious personal injury on account of the wrecks it was just plain luck. Nearlyall highway accidents are cansed by speeds fiends or drunken, reckless drivers, and often as not the two are identical. A befuddled mind can't be trusted with the op. pOration of a potentially deadly weapon such' as tbe automobile, and courts will have to make a firmer attitude, towards offenders if our streets and highways are. to be kept' reasonably safe. —Statesville Daily. ; End: All Strikes . . .

C SElQfKK BUREAU EDITORfS NOTE: This newspaper, through special arrangement with the Washington Bureau of Western Newspapsr Union at 1616 Eye Street, N. W^ Washing- ton, D, C is able to bring 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 coU umn. No replies can be made direct by mail, but only in the column which wUl appear in this newspaper regularly. Unemployment Benefit* The veterans administration in clarifying rights of veterans under the unemployment or readjustment allowances feature of the G.I. bill has announced that veterans who take temporary jobs retain their rights to unemployment allowances after they are released and they are not required to claim unemploy ment payments immediately after their discharge in order to pro tect their rights to benefits. The GJ. bill provides that re adjustment allowances will be pay able to eligible veterans for two years after date of discharge, or two years after end of the war, whichever is later, and, since the war is not yet officially over, vet erans already discharged still will have two years after official termin ation in which to file claims for un employment benefits. In no case may unemployment benefits be paid later than five years after the war. This would al low the veteran who re-enlists for three years during the war period an additional two years in which to receive payments. The veteran may apply for allowances as often as he becomes unemployed providing he does not voluntarily leave his em ployment without good reason, or he is not discharged for cause, and still has benefits available out of his maximum of 52 weeks.

C., giving his full name, serial number if you have it, and aU details. Q. My husband was inducted into the army April 8 , 1946. What would be the earliest date he conld be re leased? He is 24 years old and hi partnership with his father on a 12,800 acre ranch with 300 head of cattle. His father is In poor health and has no other help. Conld he get a discharge on these grounds?— E. C., Miles City, Mont. A. It would be impossible to tell you when your husband will be re leased since the army has not made regulations beyond June 30, 1946. If he can make a hardship or dependency case because of his need at home, he is entitled to apply to hj3 commanding officer for release on these grounds. Q. My husband is a private In Japan. He went into service Febru ary 28,1945. Went across in Novem ber. We have a crippled baby which has to be taken to the hospital ev ery two weeks in Atlanta. I put in for a discharge for him but they turned it down. Now I am hoping he will get a discharge: by being a father. Can yon tell me when all. fathers will be home?—M n. E. M., Cartersville, Ga. A. Under ordinary circumstances, your huband probably would have another year of service before he is eligible for discharge.- At pres ent, there is no distinction between fathers and ,non-fathers in the- armed services, except where they have three or more children. Q. I see where widows of war veterans of World War I are en titled to a pension. My husband re cently passed away and would you kindly ten me when I should make application for the pension?—Mrs. A. E., DeGrasse, N. I . A. You should apply to your near est veterans administration office, probably at Sunmount hospital near Tupper lake, or at the post office building in Watertown. Q. My boy was drafted into the army in November and was mar ried a few days before he left. He made his wife a $56 allotment. Can he make his mother an allotment too? He helped me before he went into the army and an of the children at home are still of school age. I am In bad health and so Is my husband and I need his help badly. —Mrs. A., Arab, Ala. A. Yes, he can make his mother an allotment, but it is voluntary an his part. Q. I have a son who has been in Germany a year and two months. He is In the 4th army of occupa tion, TRFB, SI, constabulary squadron. He is almost 29 years oM and has served most of his time over seas. He went Into service Oct. 11, 1944. Wfil tie be sent home soon?— M. B., Maekrl Ark, A. From your letter I cannot de termine how many points he has earned, but he has served approxi mately 18 months. Men who have served 24 months by June-30 may be eligible for discharge by that date.

W. Peoples of World Progress Slowly Toward Co-Operation YXTHETHER we like it or hot, ’ ’ whether we believe it or not forces of necessity, of self-preserva tion and world-wide need are bring ing the peoples of this old planet upon which we live, closer together . . . nearer to the one world about which Wendell Willkie preached. We have only fo look at. passing events to-see the signs manifest upon every hand. Each passing day which brings its quarrels, its mis understandings, its mistrusts and misgivings into the. one, is one more milestone . . . one more obstacle overcome as we inch to ward that new day of a newer con ception of our dependency one na tion upon the other, one people upon another people. Today the United States, more fortunate than others in the after- math’of war, is upon the giving end. Who knows but that tomorrow we may be calling for help as other na tions are calling upon us for aid today. Almost one-half of the two bil lion persons which populate this world are today dependent upon the other half for the actual nec- . essity for life . . . food. Food and its distribution is today the No. I priority . . . it Is the all-con suming thought of these mil lions, enough food to maintain life. While we are engaged in our petty bickerings by compar ison . . . price controls, election prospects, whether we have one or two pair of nylons, how we - stand on the list for a new car . . . how long the filibuster will last in congress . . . whether we can get a new home.. . . these millions think only of a loaf of bread. And'who knows, we may be calling upon them this next winter for a ton of coal. Step* Toward Unity The recent Internationa] Labor Congress . . . the more recent In ternational Agricultural Producers conference in London . . . the sched- uled meeting of the food and agri cultural organization of the United Nations organization . . . the pro posed IntemationaI Conference for the Expansion of World Trade and. Employment . . . the start in the' operation of the International Mon etary fund and of the International bank — the widespread and broad er scope of our own Export-Import bank . . . the regular sessions of the security council of the UNO and the meetings of the foreign ministers of the great powers .’. . the broaden ing of the objectives of the Pan- American union . . the plans for the cultural relations division o f our state department . . . all these - passing events point to the building up of collective power and under standing instead of individual pow er . . . collective thinking instead of individual thinking . . . which moves us closer to “One World” and who knows perhaps world gov ernment. U these events do not gradu ally bring about a united view point . . . if they do not elimi nate mistrust as between na- . tions . . . if they do not dis credit intolerance of one people for another, then indeed we are preparing for another war. This writer ofttimes is pessimistic where , human nature is concerned, for it has changed little in the past 2,000 years, but we have neat reached a crisis in the history of the world and a turning point in our civilization. Foir another war will not be just another war . . . it will be stark effacement of whole cities, whole nations. If the will to prevent this destruc tion of civilization is there, then surely these movements towards in ternational co-operation will bear fruit, the yield slight, perhaps, but gaining as we get to Imow one an other better. A ndthntbringsustothefear that is In the .minds of govern ment leaden and peoples ev erywhere . . .what of the atomic, bomb whleh hangs as a sword of Damocles over the . heads of the world? Mhat will we do with it? Will we give H over to the' security council of . the UNO? . Your Home Town Reporter will witness July I the. joint army-navy test of the fourth atomic bomb in the Marshall silands. Thg first bomb which dropped in a New Mexican desert was a pigmy by comparison. Peace or AmuhHalien The. next two at Hiroshima and Nagasaki are obsolete although they aknost wiped out those two cities. What -will the •. fourth bomb do, dropped oh an array of target ships in Bikini lagoon? The army-navy task force test is a research which is intended to prepare this country for defense/against atomic energy . . . for any eventuality. Can mankind break the deadly, age-old peace-war cycle and end wars? It is evident that we must or see our civilization perish.

C. •BI ' OttMwJ n VAJtOENBDRG GOP CANDIDATE : ,WASHINGTON. - Erudite Sena tor Vandenberg of Michigan not only h'as been doing a good job on for- Ieign relations, but he takes it—and !himself—seriously. Perhaps one is !necessary to the other. Talking to Ia friend the other day, the Michi- Igan senator opined:■ “Well, we’re getting along pretty we]] now that we have a Republi can foreign policy.” “What do you mean?” “Well, analyze it for yourself,” shot back the m a n who may be the next GOP nominee. “It all goes back to my now somewhat famous speech of January, 1945.” NOTE—Tan claims he is get ting bored with politics. “One question I can’t answer to my wife’s satisfaction,” he says, “is why l’m running for te-electlon (as senator). I've threatened to divorce her if she asks me again." (The answer, of course, is that if Van doesn’t ran again for senator, he won’t he in the trial heats for President.) ■ ' •>,*• •• -• SENATE LABOBREBELLION Deadliest backstage punches against President Truman’s labor draft program were .scored by CIO Pres. Phil M may in a secret meet- tog held by the senate education 'and labor committee. Those present included Murray; Lew Hines, AFL legislative repre sentative; Martin Miller, represent ing Al Whitney’s railway, trajnmen; plus Senators Jim Murtipr ot Montana (chairman), ,David I. Walsh of Massachusetts, Elbert .Thomas of Utah, Claude Pepper of 'Florida, Lister Hill of Alabama, Joe Guifey of Pennsylvania and Wayne Morse of Oregon. The CIO president got right dbwn to cases. “My organization has always fol lowed President Truman’s recom mendations in labor disputes'and the record proves it,” Murrain de clared. “Look at the auto, steel and oil disputes. We went along with the fact-finding boards. In some cases we had to accept much below1 what we asked, but we did so- patri otically. v “Can industry say as milch?” Murray continued. “Look what happened daring th$ auto strike. General MotoA jield out . for months agaiiist the recom mendations of Truman’s fact- ' finding board, which labor was willing to accept. That, was a ease of ; management striking against the government, bat did President Traman call for a joint session , of congress to ap- braid General. Motors offi cials as he did recently against labor? He did not.”■ * . . NO-STRIKE PLEDGE? Then, with a scowl, the usually mild - mannered CIO boss acidly added: “Did he offer Jegislatimi then to penalize and enslave all management as he did in this case against labor? Well, I don’t remember reading anything about it.” * ' * Senator Hill inquired if labor would be willing to offer Truman a compromise on the strike issue, such as a six month' no-strike pledge. “That is impossible, as far as the CIO is concerned,” replied Murray emphatically. “My organization is run on Democratic lines and such a pledge could never be enforced. When members of a CIO union are working under intolerable condi tions, I couldn’t dictate to them not to strike. Therefore, I would never agree to such a pledge.” . » * • RATIONINGFEBTILIZEB Agriculture department experts are .worried over a new drive by Dixie democrats. They .now want fertilize rationed. Hitherto, potash fertilizer .has been used mainly for . food growing, but now the southern bloc wants it rationed so more can go for the cotton and tobacco crops. Midwest farmers do not object to the idea of rationing of potash, pro vided rationing regulations recog nize the supreme importance of food. The Civilian Production ad ministration, however, has always allocated scarce materials on the basis ot a base period, and the southern representatives are insist ing that any new rationing program be based upon 1944 consumption of ‘ fertilizer. In 1944, five southern stator used 44 per cent of the nation’s fertilizer, but produced only .10 ; per cent of the nation’s food. In the same year, five midwest , states prodnced SO per ceiit of the nation’s food bnt used only 6 per cent of the fertilizer.* •• •' • i ■ CAPITAL CHAFF The exit: of young med^continues.

We will now hear of “the big one that faded away.” *_ Sardine fishermen are already us ing the device and hope to increase their catches greatly. Any instru ment that can locate sardines should be terrific when after swordfish. *_. Different -fish make different sounds. These will be tabulated s o fishermen may know which fish is broadcasting.* * * We can Imagine the fishing trip of tomorrow: A couple, of fellows, Joe and Gus, climb into the leaky rowboat equipped with a sohar set and pull for the fishing grounds. They heave the anchor and tune in for pros pects. . . . “Hear anything?” asks Joe. “Yes, there are fish all around, but they are not coming through clearly,” says Gus. “Sounds like a school of blow- fish,” says Gus a minute later as he hears a terrific disturbance. “Naw,” puts in Jcie as he too tunes in. “It’s just another one of those radio breakfast table chats.” “No matter where you go you can’t get away from those pro grams,” sighs Gus.• • • Now Joe registers excitement and fidgets with the dials. "Ooofle . . . glub-glnb . . . art . . . bozzle-wozzle . . . irk!” comes a sound from the deep. “Codfish?” asks Gus. “Nope. Just a congressional de bate. I can’t seem to tune out those land programs and get into deep water.” “Stick to congress and you’ll be in deep water enough,” moans Gus. * * * “Wurf-f-f-f . . . gezz-goss . . . bwilch-h-h . . . gazink-kkk. Brrr,” comes over the sonar set. “Seabass!" says Gus. “How can-you tell?” asks 'Joe. “I’ve got a code book.” Presently some very loud noises seem to indicate a school of big, fish broadcasting. But all they catch is a small eel. “How do you explain a thing like that?” asks Joe. “Something wrong with my bat teries,’’, says Gus. . * * * And so on. Until at the close of day they get something fairly big. As they haul it into the boat the fish gives vent to a most annoying series of grunts and groans. “I knew it,” exclaims Gus. “It’s a commercial!” M “Eat More Potatoes” drive is on with special attention to public eating places. Well, a first step could be a little effort to solve the mystery of why so many eating places seem never to have heard that there is any other way to cook a potato ex cept as french fries. Try to get a baked or boiled one, without influence. Plain Talk on Idiots No matter what you may think of his stand on other matters, Harry Truman is right .about automobil® drivers. The only thing that puz zles us is his candor and toughness on this point. *_ It must be that he thinks all the crazy auto operators are Republi can anyhow. *_ The President says that we are not only permitting nuts, morons and crazy'people to drive automo biles on the streets of America, but making it: easy for them. That’s an understatement. ■v * * v • THE UNION AT THE BAT ’Twas a balmy day in summer With a double-header planned— But to one game they had cut/it On the union’s late demand; Early had the hall fans gathered, But: the' game' was slow to start Due to technical proceedings On an organizer’s part.

R E L C A & CPe g g y P e h m THB STOBT THUS PAR: Mef learns fcoqi Susie, a high school girt, Uiat Allcla has spread gossip all over town about her .and Tom Fallon meeting -on Uio ridge. She avoided Fallon tor several days, hot on Saturday he came Sito the chicken yard where she was working. She 'told him of the gossip. "Who started this talk?" bo demanded. Meg told him It was Alicia Stevenson, the widow. "PU have a talk with her," Tom declared. She begged him to do nothing about It, bet he left with a grim face. When be came back by to pick op the milk and eggs he told Meg that he thought Mrs- Stevenson was “going to mend her ways.” Megan had her doubts, for she had known AUda longer. CHAPTER IV Megan shook her head. “She has no children,” She explained. “She is a widow. She came here to live in the spring, because, as she frankly stated, her income has shrunk so much that she can’t af ford to live anywhere else. And she amuses herself by ferreting out small things that people would rath er not have known—and then—sort of broadcasts them where they will create the most excitement.” "She sounds like a thoroughly un pleasant person,” said Tom grim ly. "And a dangerous one. Where does she live?” “Across tiie road,” answered Megan, indicating the once drab little house that now wore an air of fresh ness that was almost charm. Tom said sternly, suddenly, “I think I’ll have a littie talk with Mrs. Stevenson.”- But Megan laid a swift hand on his arm, stopping him. “Please don’t,” she said urgently. “After all, nothing can be gained by talking to her. We’ve all tried it—she only uses our protests and arguments to add more fuel to her talk. We’ve found that the best way is to avoid her, and give her as little material as we can.” Tom nodded grimly. "Just the same, I think Tll have a little talk with her,” he said, and before Me gan could stop him he had turned and strode away in the direction of the little silvery-gray house with its green trim. It was almost half an hour before Tom came back and stopped at the back door to get the two bottles of milk and the eggs that she had waiting for him. His face was grim and set. There was' a little white line about his mouth, and his eyes were angry. But he managed a slight smfie that tried hard to be comforting, and said quietly, “I don't think you need to worry any more. And there is no reason why you should not con tinue your walks to the Ridge any time you like. I think Mrs. Steven son is going to mend her ways a bit.” He picked up the milk and the sack of eggs and went his way. After a minute Annie said, as she slid a pan of biscuits deftly into the oven, “Dat Miz Stevenson sho’ do make a heap of trouble, don’t she?” Megan looked at her sharply. “What do you mean by that, An nie?” she demanded swiftly. “She be’n tellin’ folks dat Ruby Mae—dat’s Pearl’s gal—stole a ring off’n her,” said Annie. "An’ Ruby Mae, she say she ain’t nebber seed de ole ring. Ah’ den~dat ole Miz Stevenson, she tell people she found de ring on de back po’ch, wheh she say Ruby Mae done hid it; she. say Ruby Mae skeered Miz Steven son gonna call de Law an* she stick de ring up deh so folks think she aip't took it” Annie straightened, put her strong brown hands on her hips and faced Megan almost belligerently. “Miss Meggie, dat po’ chile ain’t stole huthin’,” she said sharply. “Ruby Mae a good gal! Y1SU knows dat, Miss Meggie—but white folks always believes white folks 'ste’d o’ colored folks—an’ Ruby Mae cain’t' git . a job.” Annie’s lower lip thrust out a lit tie more and her chocolate brown eyes were almost black. “Sometimes when folks do like Miz’ Ste venson—things happen to ’em.” EChqr were not more than half way through supper, when the front door, opened and a cheerful voice called,'“Yop-hoo-rit’s only met Pll come right In!” It was Alicia, of course, cool and fresh-looking in a brown and yellow print frock, her hair brushed into coquettish curls, .a yellow bow tucked into it She w as. rather heavily rouged as usual, and if she -was feeling the unpleasantness of Tom’s visit she certainly did not show it Jim MacTavish, always with an eye for an attractive woman, greet ed her with obvious pleasure, and drew out a chair for her.' She de murred prettily at their invitation to have supper. And then she broached the subject of her visit; she had bought some new window shades for her house and was com pletely helpless when it ieame to putting them up,‘ and wondered—so prettily!—if Mr. MacTavish Would give her a hand. "I know it’s terrible to ask you to help, Mr.* MacTavish,” she apolo gized, “ but it's. simply impossible to get anyone to do anything In this crazy, little place-J mean to hire anyone. It makes one terribly de pendent on one’s friends, .I’m afraid it’s a terrible imposition—but—” She fluttered her hands and the light glimmered on two very good diamond rings that she wore. Jim expressed himself as delight ed to be of service, as he rose from the table and went to get his tools, 1 A moment later she end Jim were going down the steps and along the walk. ' Annie, coming in to dear the ta ble, frowning blackly, said unex pectedly, “Whut’s dat 'oman up to now, Miss Meggie?” . Megan tried to laugh. “What do you mean?” “Cornin’ ove’ heh, an’ takin’ Marse Jim away—you s'pose she makin’ up to him? Rollin’ heh eyes like dat—” Annie’s anger was mounting and Megan rose swiftly. “That will do, Annie,” she .said firmly. “Mrs. Stevenson wanted Dad to help her hang some window shades—” "An’ she too buntin’ stingy to pay somebody, so she get Marse Jim to do it fo’ nuthin',” Annie finished n He was at tbe table having bis final cup of coffee, when she came into the dining room. * angrily, departing with a tray load ed with dishes before Megan could answer her. Megan went on into the shabby, comfortable living room and sat down with a mending basket.- But though she sewed until after ten, which was disgracefully late ac cording to Pleasant Grove’s early- to-rise habits, her father had not come home when she finally - went to bed. Indeed, she had been in bed for some time and was almost asleep before' she heard his cau tious entrance and the. door of his room closing behind him. In the morning, she had already had her breakfast and done her morning chores before her father came down. He was at the table, having his final cup of coffee, when she came into the dining room. He looked up at her a little, defensively. “That Mrs. Stevenson is a. de lightful little woman,” he stated firmly. "I can’t think what this filthy-minded little town' means by low-rating her as they have. I’ve heard all sorts of gossip about her. I have never had a chance to get acquainted with her—but now that I have, I intend to defend her when ever I get a chance.” Megan looked at him,- startled, and Uien she smiled. “Look, Pops,” she said firmly, “Alicia is getting exactly the treat ment she seems to want. She has an-absolutely scandalous tongue ! and she goes around making people miserable by ferreting out their pitiful little secrets and broadcasting them—” “People have no right to be upset about the truth—” her father began sternly. Megan said quietly, " Yesterday at Mrs. Stuart’s, quilting -she dropped the information that I have been seen meeting Professor Fallon secretly on the .Ridge." Jim stared at her for a moment, and then .his handsome,, rugged face began to darken with anger.: ‘Ta that true, Megan?” . he demanded sternly. “I met him on the Ridge once, purely by accident, and talked to him a few minutes,” Megan an swered quietly. “After all, He is-a customer of ours—he is a fine, in telligent, 1 interesting man. I. could not very well turn around and walk away, refusing to speak , to' him, could I?” ‘ “Certainly not—but you didn’t have to keep going back to meet him.again,” snapped Jim furiously. Megan held on to her temper with; an effort. “I’ve told you that I saw him there just once, purely by accident,” she told him ieveliy. “Well, then, what’s all the fuss about?” snapped Jim. . *“The fuss is because'Alicia gave the impression at Mrs. Stuart’s that I was meeting Tom there almost daily—and in secret,” Megan' returned. “Then you should have ex plained—” “I did,” Megan cut in: “But the harm had already been done.” “Harm? What possible harm could come from such a thing?” “None at ail, except that Alicia dropped her little information in the exact way to make it sound ugliest —and of course the women around the quilting frame were most of them mothers with children in. the school, and they promptly began to wonder—you could almost see them wondering—just how much - truth there was in the-suggestion, and whether Tom was the right man to hold the job he’s got—” “You keep calling him ‘Tom’,” her father'cut in suddenly; and there was a curious, almost a sus picious look in his eyes. - Megan set her teeth for a .mo ment, and then answered quietly, “I have never called him anything but ‘Mr. Fallon’ or ’Professor Fallon’ to his face.” She laughed and made a gesture of helplessness. "You see how well AIicla does her work?” she said dryly. “You wonder why the women at the quilt ing party yesterday afternoon could think for a . moment there was any: truth in what she was hinting—and yet you yourself, my own father, are wondering uneasily if maybe I haven’t been just a little—well, in discreet!” Jim rose from the table and flung his crumpled napkin down and snorted. “That’s idiotic: I’m not wonder ing anything of the kind! I’m just puzzled to understand why sane, normal people like these in Pleas ant Grove should so cruelly mis judge a woman like Alicia Steven son. I confess I was amazed last night, to discover how childishly friendly and simple she is. Why, I’m positive there isn’t .a malicious bone in her body! Maybe she chat ters too much—but I’m convinced it’s merely a guilty jconscience that makes people think she’s talking about them! You know the old say ing—‘if the shoe pinches’—and he strode out of the house. For the past two years, Megan had had two dates a week with Lau rence* Martin, from the county sea't. Laurence was a Pleasant Grove product who had, by grim determi nation and an almost superhuman amount of labor, managed an edu cation and a law course. Two years ago, he had gone to the county seat and into the office of old Judge Gra ham, where he was getting much valuable experience and very little money. He and Megan had grown up .together in Pleasant Grove, al though Laurence was older than she by several years. He had been quite honestly disap pointed when he had been rejected for military service, partly because of his eyes, partly because of a stomach disorder resulting, as Me gan knew very well, from, an im poverished childhood, and malnutri tion during'the years he had been fighting'his way through law schooL On this ETuesday night, Megan dressed for his arrival, with a feel ing of relief that she was not facing any complication in. Laurence’s ar rival. She liked him'sincerely. She had, she admitted to herself, thought of marrying’him. He wanted her to, when, as, and if be ever achieved a position that would make it possible for him to support a wife. That was an understand- ingybetween them that had no need to be put into words. Tonight, standing before the mir ror in her neat, cheerful bedroom, she studied her reflection in the mirror; with a soberness and an in tensity that she seldom bothered, to give the girl in the glass. She sel dom had time to do more than glance at herself as she brushed her hair; but tonight, dressed and ready for Laurence, she looked at herself thoughtfully, trying to see herself with the eyes of someone else, or a' stranger—perhaps of Tom Fallon. ’ She saw a girl a little over me dium height, neat,- trim, well-round ed figure born of the hard work and outdoor exercise of her. daily life; she saw leaf-brown hair that had no need of the curling iron and that she wore shoulder length be cause it was less trouble to have to go to the barber shop once in .two months, than every week; her eyes were her: best feature, her chiet claim to beauty. They were gray- blue, long lashed) set well, apart be neath airy brows. She was not beautiful, she told. herself With an .al most impersonal frankness. She looked healthy and wholesome, and that was all! .; As she. reached the foot of. the stairs, her faffief: turned,, almost guiltily, from the fron^ door, and said stiffly, “I :knew Laurence , would be along soon so I thought I’d step out for a little fresh air."He was. dressed, she saw, in his “best” suit; ordinarily reserved for trips to the county’ seat and rare trips to the city more than a huh dred miles away.

' JEStS’ FRIENDS CARRY ON HIS WORK LESSON TEXT—Mark 16:19, 16. IS. TO; Luke 24:4949; Acts.2:46, 47; 5:42. 'MEMORY SELECTION—Go ye Into aU the world, and.preach the gospel to every creature.—Mark 16:19.' Friendship brings results. We re spond to it with our own interest, and by our desire to bring others into its helpful ‘circle of influence. Obviously, the man who knows'the friendship of Jehus wants, others to meet his Friend and know his love and power.' . The disciples had seen the risen Lord, a privilege which carried with it the responsibility of declaring the good news of completed redemp tion to all the nations of the earth.We find them engaged in L Blessed Preaching (Mark 16: 15,16,19,20). The call and commission of the Lord before he was caught up into heaven was clear and definite. How glad we are that the disciples' obeyed, went and preached, and had such blessed results. _ EThe response iff these early Chris tians was immediate and enthusi astic. Would that such a spirit had characterized the church through all the generations since then, and if it had,' tbe commission'would long since have been carried out It has been estimated that if everyone in a church of two thousand were to win one soul a year, and each con vert win one soul each year, the world would be evangelized in less than thirty-five years. Wiy not? But while on the whole the church has failed,-there have been valiant souls all down through its history who have given themselves fo the business of preaching the gospel. With them, as with these of the first century, the secret.is ever, “The Lord working with them,” H. 'Powerfid Witnessing (Luke-24: 4549). EThe death and resurrection of Christ made possible the preaching of repentance and remission of sins, the message of redemption which was to go out to all nations through the disciples. They were witnesses of these things, they spoke that Which they knew and had experienced, and so their word carried weight and con viction. That, however, was not tbe secret of the success of their efforts; there was something more. It is never enough for ja man to speak of the things of God, no mat ter how .brilliant and eloquent he may be, nor how certain he may be of his facts. He must have the power of God. EThe early believers were to tarry until they received the Holy Spirit. We need only yield to him for he is present with every believer—the in dwelling One—ready to empower and use us. We need a real revival of the Holy Spirit power in the church, and. we need it now. - If the church as a whole will not yield to God, let us do so as individuals that we may be witnesses with power. God is looking for men. He has always honored those who in faith have obeyed his command. The whole history of church and missionary endeavor bears eloquent testimony to that fact. HI. Glad Soul-Wiiuilng (Acts 2:46, 47; 5:42). There are a number of things in this passage. There, is the fine fel lowship of the believers in the ear ly ,church. We also note that they were regular in their attendance at the temple. EChegt preached and taught both in the temple and at home. But the significant thing which we wish to note now is that it Ml resulted in the Salvation a t souls. The Lord added to the Chmrii ,“day by day those that were saved,” for such is the proper read ing of verse 47. Day for day souls were won for Christ and added to the church. . Why do We not -have more churches of that kind today?m e chtuch, which is so much the center cff lifo for Christians, is not as well understdbd as it Should be. We Imve come to regard it as just one organization among many com peting for the attention and interest of men,’ when :it is really a divine, living Orgmiism established ’for Christ as his body andrepresenting him in this world. The church is made up of- those who are saved (v. 47),: those who have received the word by foith and witnessed a good confession of their faith’in Christ <v, 41). This is a .fact fo be remembered-in a time when there is ■ so . much laxness in receiving, members into the church. It hi not a religious or social club. It is w* a rallying, place for those Who wish to -work for some economic, political, or- social project It is not a gathering of good pecple who Wirii fo share: common in terests... . The church needs to cleanse its rolls of all unbelievers, all hangers- on, and to get back to the purity which it had when only those were received who were manifestly “added” by the Lord (v. 47). .

A rlttta Merchandise Watpings against inflation are be ginning to reach us country people with increasing force and -frequen cy. Nearly all the experts who com ment on it say we have inflation al ready but it can get much worse. Accurate definitions of inflation are. rather complicated. In fact, some of the definitions are harder to un derstand than the condition itself, such as .we all can see Iqr looking around. When just about everybody has spending money in their pockets be cause they can’t find enough of the things they want to buy, that is where inflation begins. The results are quite natural. Automatically people start bidding against each other for what items they do find, and prices advance for beyond real values. Then, no matter what we buy, we are squandering money. BeguIation Prices. What we need to cure inflation is plain to see: more things to buy. That’s all it takes. If I need a hat and can find only one' that fits my head and suits my taste, the dealer can (unless restrained by law) charge me whatever he wishes. I may rebel at the price but some body else will pay it and file mer chant will not need to worry about me. What will set the matter straight? More hats! When hats are offered by every haberdasher in town, some compet itor is certain to lower his prices to-increase sales. Another will try to outdo him, and this competition continues until falling prices get too near cost to go cheaper. It is that simple. Goods are the scare-crows that frighten away inflation. What ever interferes with the production of merchandise only makes - infla tion worse. . x . ( Artificial Feeding Inflation is like hunger. It is a want that has the foil force of a need. Hunger includes a craving that throws a person’s sense iff values completely out of plumb. Food is the only satisfactory answer to the hunger question and, just so. goods ary the only sound solution to inflation. There are trick ways to hold prices down, when goods hove to be scarce, but they are only tem porary help. Once in a while somebody has a strange ailment that makes eating impossible, or very dangerous. Physicians deny such a patient food while they try to adjust the malady. Sometimes they use drugs to make the patient deep and forget his crav ing; sometimes they flow energiz ing liquids into the blood-stream, but it is no diet Nobody can live on it; it only makes starvation slower. ■ War Is a Malady During the war, people in Amerr tea were rightly Venied goods; there were not enough, workmen; not enough foctories, not enough ma terials to supply the nation’s de fenders, our men and their allies. Consumer goods were scarce and a lot of people had extra money. AU prices would have skyrocketed but government restrained it Iqr law. It was an emergency—drastic rem edy; no complaint Price controls did not contribute anything permanent to this coun try’s economic strength, however. They simply eased the shock for civilians who had to undergo eco nomic surgery or perish of dic tatorship. Now the ordeal is over and the patient is wholesomely hun gry for merchandise. Every regu lation that now retards production should be removed or. relaxed in the public interest. SheServed ■ LUib'r. COMDB.

S.; CONTROL NEEDED Although many do not realize IL one of the most dreaded disease* htTxiH M 49 BaUes Losses In 1944. known to man—rabies—Is steadily on the Increase In this country. The la test available figures show that InlDU for fiie first time, oases of rabies in animals and man passed the 10,000 mark. In some localities wild foxes and other animals have contracted the disease, and have roamed the countryside spreading it Horses; cows, pigs, and other Uvestoek have become victims of rabies, along with human beings. The average person may well ask— wWhatcan we do about it?” Perhaps the best answer is provided in a re cent report ot the U. S. Uvestodc Sanitary association which empaslzes wUie alarming Increase of rabies in certain areas.'' The report cites the foot that effective control in aggressive programs has centered on large scale vaccination of dogs. The reasons for recommending this control pro gram include these facts:Dogs are still the Chief spreaders of rabies. In communities where all dogs have been vaccinated, rabies .has been virtually wiped out The quality iff rabies vaccine has been so Improved in recent years that it is extremely dependable, thus removing the objection formerly voiced by per sons who were opposed to anti-rabies vaccination. With such a vaccination program, authorities recommend that all stray dogs be impounded, and that dogs being shipped from one area to another be required to have a rabies- immune certificate. The saving of the life of a single child, it is pointed out, would be wmth all these precautions. m m m , U l LViEOTaOTGK HUM M D BV AMBMGAN foundation for animal HBALTH SWlNE ERYSIPELAS IS NOW IN ALL STATESOne of America’s newest swine diseases—erysipelas—is rapidly be coming one of Its worst In 1939 it was reported In. 28 states. Today, Note the enlarged Joints, typical of chronic type of erysipelas. erysipelas is causing several million dollars In hog losses and exists In every state in the Union. In some areas it has become so implanted in the soil that authorities tear it will • be a permanent menace to swine production. N Perhaps 'the most difficult problem about coping with swine erysipelas is the fact that it often resembles hog cholera, and in some of its aspects it may resemble other swine diseases. Symptoms include sudden deaths arched backs, lameness, bigh fever, and unwillingness of the hogs to move around. Dueto the complexity of the symptoms, a veterinary diagnosis Is generally necessary to determine whether erysipelas or some other con dition is causing the losses. The disease occurs in two forms. The quick type causes immediate deaths and moves' rapidly through the drove. The lingering type causes enlarged joints - and sometimes sloughing of the skin. Fortunately, a very effective vaccine has been developed—and this is proving extremely valuable in coping with erysipelas in areas where it has become a problem. The important feature about use of the vaccine is that it should be given as soon as possible after the pigs are farrowed, because erysipelas very commonly strikes pigs when they.are only a few days old. Cement doors, from farrowing until weaning time, have also aided in the control of the disease. If hogs do start dying of erysipelas, the carcasses should be disposed of promptly., because rats and other vermin can act as spreaders and can menace hog production In the entire community.
