When we live, to beip those about us, and send our influence o.it far and wide, thus leading and helping, strengthening and supporting pilgrims on their journev toward heaven, we shall not live in vain.

The Federal government will pay the farmers of Pasquotank, Camden and Currituck counties $ 8 9 7 06 3 for 1 ,1 5 0 carloads .of spuds bought at sustaining pricey and resold to distillers. At the same time potato growers in the three counties will receive $ 4 8 3 6 9 8 for potatoes uridug in the fields, and another $4 5 3 ,2 3 6 for potatoes har. vested and stored in the woods be side the fields—where they rotted. Tbe farmers. were encouraged to plant and cnltivate the crops, and the Government was under obliga to protect them from bankruptcy, the department man said but if there had been adequate knowledge io advance provision could have been made to utilize the crop' to help feed hungry people.--Tw tn CitySentinel ’ - Land poters at this office. Of Enforcement Methods Comes from Concord an interest ing story concerning State High way Patrolman Frank Reynolds' and wbat he did to one Woodrow Elledge, hit-and-run driver, Ob July 1 4. Reynolds and a Con-, cord policeman attempted- to stop the speeding driver and engaged in an 8 0 mile an house chase which ended when EUedge-forced the pat rol car into a ditch, Reynolds re ceiving injuries which sent him twice to the the hospital for treat ment •T he next day Reckless Driver Elledge walked into the police sta tion. Patrolman Reynolds called him into a back room, and then and there proceed to give him a good old-fashioned "fisl-and skull’’ licking.. As a result, voung Elledge has a case In court on charges of reckless and bit-and-run driving, while the Highway Patrol officer has already had his day in Magistrate’s Court where he paid a fine of $ 5 for as sault. "Thrashing’’ reckless drivers is, no doubt, an improper and illegal wav of enforcing traffic safety laws At any rate we do not care to go on record as recommending this method of advancing th e. public safety. Bnt In view of the light sentences and trival fines to often doled out to reckless drivers, it is perhaps not surprising that an of ficer occasionally feels like acting as a combination of arresting con stable, judge and exreutoner of traffic laws. Tbe teinptasion a mong some of them may be all the stronger if the licking received by the allegedly reckless motorist in the Concord case ieads to improve ment in his behavior behind'the steering wheel. — Winston-Salem Journal- A Bad System One cause of the trouble in A- thens, Tenn., where the veterans of World War II took over the government of MeMinn County by force w as-the fee system. This mav have been the main cause. For the fee system is bad wherever it exists. It was this system that enabled the political machine in power so long to get the finances to keep itself so strongly entrenched For example, it is reported that the Sheriff who was onsted had averaged $2 6 ,0 0 0 a year, in fees over the last four year.. Tbe lead ers of the victorious veterans could£now collect those fees themselves. But they have announced that they will keep no more than $5 ,0 0 0 a year. And more than that, they have, pledged themselves to work for abolition bv the Legislature of the fee system that prevails through, out the State of Tennessee. County officers have been nut on salaries in over 5 0 per cent of the counties of North Carolina. But there are between 4 0 and 5 0 coun ties in this State, we understand, in which the fee system prevails' in some offices. , It ougbt to be abo- Iishel In all counties.—Winston. Salem journal. Air Disasters The Soper State Inuring the war, we accepted an enormous extension of the powers of government into every phase of our national life, of the grounds that it was essential to the achieve ment of maximum war effort. Now, w ith-the war over by a year, we seem to still accept super- governmont, despite the obviotis tact that, In principal, 'super.gov ernmeht was the main thing we were fighting the war against. Under the Fascist system, . gov ernment owns or absolutely con. trols all the main productive re sources of the country. And here in moviug toward that end. One example of that is the elec. trie industry. The campaign to de stroy the utilities through sociali zation began in earnest -with the great TVA system It moved on into the field of rural electrifica tion. Now many influential public officials are advocating other great regional systems which would rap idly make private power develop ment and operation a thing of the past And this is being done in spite of the fact that the private in dustry is completely capaole of supplying our power needs, and that is supplied more than 8 0 per cent of the power used by all war Industry, and that its record of reducing costs while paying enor mous taxes is unexcelled. Tbore can be no snch thitig as limiting government domination to one or a few industries. If the trend is permitted to continue, it must inevitably end only when all indnstry is the creature of govern, ment. The super state is the ulti mate in monopoly. It can never brook competition. And, sooner or later, it abolishes the right of dis dissent—precisely as was done in Germany, Ita'.y and Japan. We must make the decision. We will have either free government or dictatorial government. A d no' hafway measures are possible.— Exchange. , Victory, Bot No Peace Victory Day, proclaimed by Pre sident Trum anto signalize-the first anniversary of the unconditional surrender of Japan and the end of the fighting in World War II, ap. parently was not generally observ ed, Certainly there was no - wide, spread celebration. There was far more jubilition and celebration on August 1 4,1 9 4 5. than on August 14, 1 946 A year ago the American peopla knew we had achieved overwhelm ing victory, and they assbmed and! believed that meant peace.: And the peoples of the nations that Iiad fonght the war with us, ' at least those of the Western World, shar ed onr jubilant optimism. But the people of the United States and. onr English speaking allies, and the informed sections of the populations of other lands know that the prospects for world peace ore much darker today than t Liey were a year ago. It is a tregicfact that war clouds loom as large and dark today as they did a year before H itler’s mighty armies Went goose-stepping Wowen Are Mad Election day, November 5, is going to be "Ladies Day” at the -polls, promises Miss Marlon Mar tin, assistant chairman of the Re publican national committee, a ra veling campaigner reporting on the state of the nation. Just as a reminder she points out that the women have been casting about 5 6 per cent of the vote in re. cent years—“and I think we’ll see it go up to 6 0 per cent this year.” “ What’s the reason? "Miss American Voter, 1946 , is a fairly young housewife or office worker who has found her voice,” says Miss Martin. “She’s telling off spendthrift po litisians, just like she’s telling off the price gougers in shops and of ficious bureaucrats. “ She’s really going to town— especially on November 5 ’ Wbat’s on her mind especially? Well, there’s nylons, butter, can ning sugar and other scarce items. But that’s not the big thing. The national debt and tax shrunk pay-' checks figure in, but that’s only a part »f It. “ The essence of this woman’s crusade revolves around the moral bankruptcy of the Administration —more than its fiscal failures and the bungling of food controls and housing,” analyzed Miss Martin. ‘ You can see why women feel that wav. Most women either have homes or children or are planning for them: This spells security to them, “ But where are the homes and houses and apartments? They shudder at tbe national atmosphere of black markets, juvenile delin quency, government ‘fixers’ and weak officials who dispense favors to political cronies and kinfolks out of the public treasury. W asbjng. ton’s climate of distrust and con tempt for legal and moral princi ples have shaken women’s sense of security. !‘Moreover, women do not 'feel they have any spokesman not are they recognized.” she added. “ We are just outsiders in the adminls tration.” . ifito Poland In 1 9 3 9, and that the Considering tbe increase in air Pto8Pec*8 *hat nation will es cape the necessity of fighting again in defense of its life . seem almost as foreboding as they were a year before' Pearl Harbor.

TTV EIDES FOR NEXT WAR , 1 PARIS. — Perhaps it has ceased to be news but, even so, it can’t be emphasized too often that' this totalled peace conference is actually a choosing up of sides for another war unless something vitaland electrifying in the way of diplomacy steps in to prevent it. Events are moving with terrific speed while this conference moves with humdrum slowness. In the Russian zone of Germany, 12 fac tories are pouring out munitions for the Red army. In Czechoslo vakia, the sum of 400 million dol lars has been appropriated for mu nitions— all of a standard type, interchangeable with either the Czech or the~Red army. Yugoslavia and Poland also are pouring out standardized Russian arms.Meanwhile, this. peace confer- . ence talks sonorously, piously of procedure and precedents. Mean- while,< also, the sides are chosen I —the line-up, uidess heroic ' measures head it off—for the , next war. ' The line-up Of Russian satellites never varies. Ih all the conference voting from San Francisco through the United Nations assembly in New York to Paris, Russia’s stooges only once voted against their masters in the KTemlin. That was when Byelorussia got its signal^ crossed. Russia can be absolutely sure of the following votes on every rollcall, come hell or high water: Byelorussia, the Ukraine, Poland, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. The line-up ,on the other side varies. It is significant that the British dominions frequently desert England. This proves there’s real democracy in Uie British empire. Australia and1 New Zealand vote more than half the time against England; Canada about 50-50. South Africa, and India frequently are aligned with England, although not always. The-most forthright leaders of the anti-Soviet bloc are Australia, the Netherlands, Brazil and Bel gium. Note—Most pathetic satellite in the Soviet line-up is Jan Masaiyk of Czechoslovakia, now nick named “The Prisoner of Zenda.’’ Son of old President Thomas Mas- aryk, who founded the Czechoslo vak republic , in Pittsburgh in 1918 under the godfathership of Wood row Wilson, Jan Masaryk’s sym pathies are all with the United States and Britain. But with his country solidly surrounded by Rus sia, he votes consistently with the Russian bloc. ACCUSED OF* SNOOPING It isn’t being advertised but Lt. Gen. Sir John Harding, command er of Allied, forces in Venezia Giulia, has sent a hot cable to the White House and the British for eign office against dynamic ex- Mayor La Guardia of New York, accusing the fiery Fiorello of snooping in Trieste. General Hard ing demanded that the White House and the British crack down on La Guardia and prevent him from slandering American and British troops in Trieste. In fact, General Harding even threatened his resig nation unless he got full support. As a result the British, which have some jurisdiction over La Guardia because UNRRA is international, sent New York's former mayor an appeal to pipe down. . Apparently it did no good, however. It was after receiving the London appeal Uiat Fiorello boasted that 25 good New York cops could clean up the thieving in Trieste. La Guardia previously had demanded that the Anglo-American troops in Trieste prevent the whole- sale disappearance of CNRRA ‘ supplies. Note—During the war, F. D. R. promised La Guardia a commis sion as brigadier general and the job of helping to govern Italy, but the army brass hats blocked it. Ap parently they figured they could never handle the ferocious Iattle Flower. British generals now think their American colleagues were right. DON’T MISS A TRICK ‘ - Chief trouble with the American delegation at this peace conference is that it lets the opposing team take too many bases on balls and steal second too many times. Meanwhile, the Russians are on the umpire's neck, yelling themselves hoarse over every close decision. They don’t miss a trick. If a bunt down the first baseline is called" a foul, the Russians will ‘ argue until blue in the face Uiat it was -a fair ball. Finally, the op posing side gets tired of wrangling and arguing and gives in. • • • MOLOTOFF COCKTAIL The hard-hitting, mercurial. for eign minister- of Russia has changed his tactics a lot since Uie United NaUons conference at San Francisco. Also, since the council of foreign ministers in/London last September. - . At Paris, Molotoff is playing his cards more carefully. Perhaps he realizes that public apinion has crystallized-against Russia. At any rate, instead of hurling MolotoS cocktails when - things go against him, he has been outwardly calm, r/r^ T V V 1* HtwNiiA IWi."' t At CLAIMS WORLD’S SMALLEST COLT . . .

Unshackled in a Garden of Eden— Best Am erican Divorce, and fastest, is the decree issued by Federal Judge Moore in St. Thom as, Virgin Islands, U. S. A. . . . It takes eight hours to get to St. Thomas from New York via plane, flying the new nonstop route. . . . By a new regulation, after six weeks’., residence, the decree is signed, eliminating long periods of publication and other delays perti nent to Reno or Miami divorces. . . . The Virgin islands are a prac tically unknown paradise — few tourists, best Scotch on earth at $2.50 a fifth, cigarets 50 cents a carton, shopping for native woven products at prewar prices and your buck worth 100 cents. . . . Two American hotels — Hotel 829 and the government - run Bluebeard’s Castle — total accommodations 60 people! . . . The Virgin islands divorce decree is the only one in the country, signed by a federal judge, who'' is appointed by the President. . . . No V. I. divorce has yet been contested by any state. Lawyers feel that the federal char acter of tfiev'decree puts it above protest. . . . In this tropical Capri, the city-harassed American finds new world comforts along with authentic old world atmosphere like the South Sea islands once had. . . . Natives live in tiny huts, the beaches are blue and coral, the water crystal clear, with vast acres wild, awaiting settlement. . . . The government—local and national—is eager to sell at ridiculously low fig ures. . . . At CaneeI bay, on St. John (one of the TJ. S. Virgin group), the most breath-taking -beach on earth rests its spreading white arms in cool tropical splen dor — with an average of three bathers a day! Cabanas, furnished by the U. S., are usually empty. Atlantic City shut up tighter than ever. . . . The cops just sent the sad word around, and the wheels stopped rolling. . . . Jack Lynch, who lost his historic club on Philiys Walton . hotel roof when sudden fire regulations closed it, is hunting a new street-floor spot there; meanwhile, he wants to take over the now dark Bainbow room, in Radio City—but the Rockefel lers don’t seem to need the money.

TWA is to fly N. Y. to Shanghai, via Europe; North west is to-pick up there; flying to Alaska and Seattle. . . . Hughes’ option was to become effective if, as and when Northwest got govern ment permission to fly the Pacific. . . So it appears Hughes, who ,broke the around-the-world- air rec ord, has in hand the around-the- Iworld route he laid out on that famous four-day zoom. . . . And, with announcement of the globe- circling license, plus the approval of the Constellations with changes, TWA stock leaped so that Hughes’ holdings have been rising at a rate of about $1,000,000 a day — as. he lies and listens to his ribs knit* ting.

It had seem ed to am use her. In their mis ery Jim and M egan are reconciled. It w as a relief when neither one w as called to the inquest, and they w aited anxiously for L arry to return to tell them w hat had keen found. "She w as U lled w ith a knife—which we found w here old Amos saw a ghost burying it,” he explained. Bob R eynolds,'the'detective, could and no fingerprints due to a heavy rain later. Old Amos w as Interviewed again to get m ore Inform ation on the size of the ghost, bow It acted, and the exact Ume he saw It- Botb Meg and her father w ere breathing easier. CHAPTER XW Annie chuckled richly. “Effen y’all had seed him w’en he come bustin’ into de house dat night. Mist’ Larry, y’all would a’knowed right den he’d seed plenty!” she assured him. “We still are not quite sure about that eight-foot-high ghost with the glaring yellow eyes,” Laurence told Annie, “but Reynolds is talking to Amos.now, trying to see if-he can’t get him to scale the ghost down somewhat, so we can feel that it was human!” He turned to Megan as Annie pad ded away-, “"it was a knife,” he an swered Uie look of questioning in her eyes, and Megan caught her breath, and went, white as the col lar of her trim morning frock. “Bob feels sure it is—the knife.” She did not speak, but her eyes pleaded with him and Laurence went on quietly, “There’s not much possibility of fingerprints. The knife was buried halfway up the hilt, and it rained later on that night, and of course, the dews are very heavy this tiirie of the year. It was just an ordinary kitchen knife, such as any hardware store sells by the gross every year—probably every kitchen in Pleasant Grove has one or two exactly like it.” Megan was conscious that she was breathing a little more easily. She Baid hurriedly, lest Laurence should notice that, “Then—you aren’t much better off than you were before so far as identification. Have you any suspects?” Laurence grinned. “You should have heard Ma Stuart at the in quest,” he said dryly. “According to her, there wasn’t a man, woman or child in Pleasant Grove who didn’t have a motive for wanting the Stevenson woman out of the way. She mentioned a few of the reasons. Some of the people men tioned resented it quite a bit, and fisticuffs were barely avoided. The search for alibis became quite inten sive, but except for two or three, all were eliminated as suspects. And the evidence against the two or three is slim.” Megan touched dry lips with her tongue and steadied her voice to ask faintly, “Who—are the—ones Who couldn’t manage an alibi?” “Well, the 'Teasley boy and bis wife and baby seemed to have ex cellent reason for disliking Mrs. Stevenson,” said Laurence reluc tantly. “It seems, according to Ma Stuart, that Mrs. Stevenson made a remark that tended to discredit thejegitimacy of the Teasley baby, anif' that Will Teasley publicly slapped her face in front of the Mercantile a week ago.” “I remember that,” said Megan. “Do you?” asked Laurence quick ly. “Do you remember how Mrs. Stevenson took it?” . “Well, it was pretty unpleasant, of course—but Will Teasley’s a Pleasant Grove boy, and his wife has lived here all her life, except for the year she worked in town, , so everybody'sided with Will,” Megan remembered aloud. "Alicia sort of staggered, and her face got very white, and then she laughed and said, ‘What is the old-fashioned crack about a hit dog always howls loudest?’ And walked away.” Laurence nodded. .“That checks with Ma Stuart’s testimony,” he admitted. “And findifig' the knife doesn’t help a bit?” asked Megan. “Afraid not,” admitted Laurence frankly. “Though if we can get any sort of description out of Amos, about the so-called ‘ghost’ it might help.” He grinned at her and said, “No tice I said ‘we’? I’m sort of unof ficial assistant to Bob—because I know the town and the people,” he explained. A little later Bob came in, greeted Megan pleasantly, and lifted his Ehoulders and spread his hands palm upward in a gesture of dis couragement and futility. “I can’t get anything out of that old man to save my life,” he ad mitted. “He goes on saying‘hit wuz 'bout eight feet tall, boss—an’ hit wuz all white and jes’ floated ’long —and had big glaring yaller eyes like a cat—dat’s aU I knows’.” . “I wonder what Amos had been drinking,” Laurence said lightly. “Some of that ‘white mule’ they brew up over St Frogtown would make a fellow see pink cows and green elephants.” ' - “That’s the darndest thing of all —he swears he hadn’t had a drink, and Annie backs him iip,”-exploded Bob'furiously. “I could understand- his telling such' a tall tale if he’d had a few shots—” , - “But' you did find the knife there right where he said the ‘ghost’ stood. Doesn’t that prove that it isn’t entirely a tall tale?” protested Megan, resenting their casual as-, sumption that Amos was a complete stranger to the truth. “Oh, now, see here, Bob—be rea sonable," Larry snapped. “If Amos had hidden the knife there, would he have told about it? Look, fella, I know Amos. He would nev er voluntarily go near a place like that, at night—especially with a murder on his mind. And if he had. —if he had been so frightened by what he had done that that fear overrode any other—wild horses could never have made him tell a living soul about it. Look at it from a sane standpoint. If he had hidden it there, the object would have-been to keep anybody from ever finding it. Why, then, - would he turn right around and insist on telling me about it, and being perfectly willing to tell you? He even went with us this morning and pointed out the spot where the ‘ghost’ bent down. Use your head, man.” Bob grinned. “Surer-sure—lay off, pall I only said that 'I don’t believe “Now, see here, Miss MacTavish, yon’re not going to tell me yon be lieve in ghosts?” he protested. In ghosts, yet I can’t picture a hu man being eight feet tall, wrapped in-a white sheet and with glaring yellow eyes doing a murder and then picking that spot to hide the weapon. In fact, I can’t picture a human being eight feet tall—period.! Maybe you can suggest some thing?” 'Laurence shook his head. “It’s got me-Hiked,” he admitted. “Miss MacTavish?” suggested Bob and she had to steady herself and teU herself that she was a fool to be frightened of that question in his eyes. “I don’t believe in ghosts—but I do believe Amos’ story,” was all, she could manage. Bob sighed, ran his fingers through his hair, leaving it standing on end, and said helplessly. “Well, I think we’re, licked, too. Though we’ll keep slugging away at the case, of course, hoping that some thing will turn up—” “You couldn’t be persuaded, of course, to accept Ma Stuart’s sug gestion that you just drop the whole matter with the thought that who ever did it, did Pleasant Grove a great service?” suggested Laurence, wryly.Megan gasped. “Oh, no, Larry— did she really say that?” “She did!” said Bob laughing. “Boy, what a character! She gave the department a going over that it hasn’t had since they drafted our captain for a job in ' the Marine Training Camp! I would like to know that lady • better—under, of course, pleasanter circumstances:” “She’s really a grand person,” Megan said eagerly, “Everybody, loves- her;” Megan hesitated and. colored. tWell-Alicia liked to^-to stir thingsiip," she admitted reluctantly. “I think she was'very bored here,-and she admitted frankly that she only came here to live because her in come had shrunk, and because her money went farther here. And to keep things stirred up gave her— well,-'Something to relieve ’ her' bore dom, I suppose. She did not lie, that Is, not to any great extent She simply had way of digging out. truths that- people wanted hidden' and dropped them publicly^'wher* they would be .most certain to stir ip trouble.” “She sounds like a lady who was a self-elected candidate for a mur der,, at that,” Bob commented. - Annie appeared at the door be hind him, unobtrusive, yet obvious ly excited. Her eyes were rolling and her voice was high as she answered Megan’s questioning look, “Dey’s a lady hyah, MiSs Meggie—hit’s MisV Fallon’s sisteh.” Megan caught her breath and felt as though every drop of blood in her .body-had congealed about her heart. Her eyes were wide &nd-frightened, and she was suddenly-conscious that Bob .Reynolds was watching her nar rowly, an odd light in his eyes. "Of course, Annie, I’ll see her," she made herself-say swiftly, then steadying her voice with an effort.- “If you’ll excuse me—?” ~ But Bob Reynolds said casually, with a look In his eyes that was not at all ,casual, “Why. not see her in here, Miss MacTavish?” M eganlookedsharplyathlm and said instantly, “But why? It’s no doubt a personal matter—I mean it can’t possibly have any connection —” But beneath the look in his eyes her voice broke. ' “Of course not,’’ Bob agreed ami ably, but''still with that wary look in his eyes. “But just the same—” - And behind Annie, Megan saw, with a feeling of shock, Martha Fal lon, short, stocky, commonplace looking. Her neat dark percale dress and the smoothness of her hair that was streaked with gray only emphasized the look of barely restrained terror in her eyes; just as the inexpert daubs of rouge and the powder that was not quite smooth only emphasized the. pallor of her drawn face. She came into the room and Annie faded Out of the'doorway. But Me- gan knew subconsciously that Annie, had only slipped back a little into the shadows and that she was lis tening with almost visibly distended ears, < Miss Martha nodded to Megan and addressed herself to Bob, after giving Laurence a steady, straight look. “You’re the detective-fellow?” sh* asked Bob curtly. “Yes, Miss Fallon—my name’s Reynolds,” answered Bob. Martha nodded and said, “Well, my name’s not Fallon. I’m Tom Fallon’s sister-in-law, not his sister. My name's Evans-M artha Evans.” Laurence unobtrusively turned a chair towards her and she nodded her thanks and; sank into it with a movement that was almost of col lapse, as. though her knees were shaking violently, and she was very glad of the support the chair gave her. , “So you found it,” she said when sh«f ~had drawn a deep hard breath and Megan, sick with pity and be wilderment, saw the work-rpugh- ehed hands- gripped so tightly to gether that the knuckles were small white mounds. Bob said gently, “Found whaV Miss Evans?” She looked-up at him so, sharply that the sunlight fell harshly on the round lenses of her old-fashioned spectacles and she made a' sound that was. half a snort, half a sniff of contempt. “The knife, of ,course,” she an swered curtly. ,.I..' Bob made a short, swiftly con trolled movement, but his, face was guarded, so that only- if you had been , watching him closely could you have noticed that involuntary start of surprise. : “Suppose you tell .us about the knife, Miss Evans,” Bob said gently. Miss Martha nodded. “What els* do you think I came here for?” she sniffed, and abruptly she added, “Only the Stevenson woman ‘wasn’t killed with that knffe, young man.” " “No?” , asked Bob ,very swiftly, very politely, almost, as though his interest had been too casual to make the statement of any importance. J*No!” the word came explosively. “then why was it necessary tc hide it so—er—melodramatically?” wondered Bob aloud. Miss Martha breathed deeply and with difficulty. “Because,” she told him—and Me gan’s eyes were thick with tears for Sie stark agony that shone so'clear ly in the tired, faded eyes, behind those old-fashioned spectacles—“be cause—my sister is a—a mental «ase,” she managed at-last. Bob waited. Laurence was very still, watching Miss Martha, his arms folded across his chest, leaning against the-big old-fashioned rolltop desk where Megan kept her accounts and books. Megan was on the very edge of Her chair, her body tense and still, almost rigid, as she watched Misa Martha; and so deep, so:, intense was. te r pity and her sympathy that her own'body felt some of the suf fering, that stood forth so starkly in Miss Martha’s tired eyes. “You mean,” said Bob, after a mo* me'nt designed to give Miss Martha a respite so that die could breaihe again, “that your sister was not ao countablefor her actions—” { “I mean, young, man, that my si» ter—had periods of lucidity,” she said harshly. ’ "But--Toihrher hus band, didn’t know ^ a t those periods were coming less^freqileatly and lasting for shorter periods,>of time.I couldn’t bear thought, poor soul-, that' shir was get ting better—that there: was-hope tor her.

JESUS AND COVETOUSNESS LESSON TEXT—Kzodus 20:17;- Proverbsll:23,2*rlAike 12:13-21............ MEMORY 'SELECTION—H e th at trustetb In his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as * branch.—P roverbs 11:23. The Ten Commandments, the study of which we conclude, today (the remaining lessons of toe ,quar ter deal with other laws), have been revealed to us as being characterized by their brevity, their, compre hensive touch WiVh all of life, and fidelity to the right. But they are also unique and different from all other laws in that they reach into the inner recesses of a man’; heart, a realm where only God can judge'and act. ' This last commandment (against covetousness) emphasizes that point, for it does not expressly require or forbid any act, but deals with the motive of man’s action. Man can judge another man’s acts, but he cannot judge his motives, desires or thoughts. GocLmust do that. But man can, by the grace of God, control his motives; and hence we have this commandment and its interpretation. I. Covetousness — What R Is (Exod. 20:17). To covet does not mean -just to desire, but to have an unrestrained desire for t^ tt which we ought not. to have or which by right belongs to. another. It shows itself in our day in a more general way — an inordinate desire for possessions, in general. There too man loses', himself. It may be a surprise to many to learn that coveting, or. desiring what be longs to another, is a sin. -It -has be come one of the “respectable sins” accepted in.-the best -circles and practiced by many-church people. As a matter of fact, this sin under lies aU the other sins against which the commandments speak. He who has a love for money and an evil desire to have his neighbor’s pos sessions w01 hate, lie, steal, cheat, kill. In fact, as Dr. G. Campbell Morgan says, “The whole realm of human interrelations is disorgan ized and broken up by the dishonor ing-of the tenth commandment.” II. Covetonsness — Wliat It Does (Prov. "11:23, 24; Luke 12:13-21). 1. It Makes a Man Stingy (Prov. 11:23, 24). The Mghteous man seeks that which is good and he. knows nothing of the close-fisted stinginess which withholds from God and man. Sometimes to economize is to lose, and to be liberal is' to gain— especially in the things of God. God gives liberally (James 1:5), and the. man who knows God scat ters not only his money, but his riches of mind and service for God’s glory. In .sad contrast is the' man who keeps" his yPossessions--JGor himself and reaps only; the barrenness at soul and leianness of life. 2. It Makes a Man Envious (Luke 12:13-15). Noting the ability of Jesus, in dealing with others, this man thought to divert the Lord froin his real tniiiistry to the souls of men to the' settling of social problems-^ all because he was' greedy. Some^church IeadmTthink that is our business now — to preach and promote, a social gospel. They had better reread verse 14.. 3. It Makes a Man Selfish (Luke; 12:16, 17). The one who was known to his friends as -the “rich man” (v. 16) was known to God as a “fool” (v. 20), because having more than he .could use he hoarded it for himself. One wonders what /he Had to say for himself when that very night he was’ called into the pres ence of God. to .give an account of his stewardship .(▼. 20). If you are sim ilarlysituated ' ’ and have the same ,attitude; whatwill you say in that^fey?-. . v ■ ■ : 4. It; Makes, a, Man Proiid (Luke 12:18). 'AU around- him' were- the hungry. He -needed- no:-bams,* for there , were the empty 'hands of the needy;: Jbqt. money' had -.made him hard- -and' proud, He’ would build bigger barns, p e rh ^ the biggest in that; community:: People would mar vel at liiii prosperity.;?nd he ,would live long to enjoy it. ' ! - .. But-,4 it , did rio t work out that way, for,, alas, it :ls true, of covet- ousness that- ' > " 5. It Makes a Mata , Fooliafr (Luke 12:19-21). The man who Ktinms without God is sure to come; to grief. - Leaving him out of one’s thinking and planning invites dis aster. 'God called, - and he who had thought to go on for years in self ish pleasure, found that he must go. and leave it all. Worse yet,\he had to face the judgment of God upon his eternal soul. Do not fail to note that there is .a way to lay up treasures in heaven —by a “dose walk with Christ, com ing to appreciate and cultivate the joys of the spirit,” and. so using one’s possessions that they count for the ’ glory of God. Even gold can be so invested for God as to stend it on to eternity. What tut oppor tunity’ - Do not'bang glass'or china-cups by the handles.

Some folks even, commercialize' religion. This world is in no condition to stage another war, but it seems like some- countries, are trying their damdest to get another one started.

I i -• i t 'H 5 i- EDITOR'S NOTE: This newspaper, through special arrangement with the ITadimgtm Bureau of Western Newspaper Union at 1616 Eye Street, N- W- Washington, D. Cn is able to bring readers this weekly column on problems of the veteran and serviceman and his fond ily. Questions may be addressed to the above Bureau and they will be answered in "o subsequent column. No replies can be made direct by mad, but 'm ay in the column which will appear in this newspaper regularly. increased Vet BeneSts Veterans’ Service Bureau’s Wash ington office has been flooded with requests for information concern ing the new laws just signed by the President providing for terminal leave, pay for enlisted men, in-’ creased pensions for veterans of both World War I and II and auto mobiles for amputees. .' Next week a full column will be used for explanation of the ma chinery set up by the army, navy and coast guard for payment of terminal leave to some 15,000,000 members of the armed, services. Be sure and watch this newspaper for next week’s explanation. For those who have inquired about increase in pensions and automobiles for amputees, ma chinery for which is handled by the Veterans’ administration, here are the facts: Approximately 2,000,000 veterans of both world wars and about 400,- 000 dependents are affected by the 20 per cent increase which author izes the payment of hill pension or compensation to veterans who are hospitalized or domiciled in veterans’ institutions. Heretofore those veterans were limited to $20 of their full monthly payments, and in certain cases to $8. Wie new regulations do not affect the $l.s00 accumulations now permitted for veterans declared mentally incom petent. The Veterans’ administration estimates cost of the new legisla tion will be approximately $298,- UO1OOO for the first year. Increases Ifc effective as of September I, BOt inasmuch as the monthly bene fit payments are not to be paid in advance, the increased rates will not be reflected in any payments made before October I, 1946. Here’s the way it works. Sup pose a veteran in a hospital obtains a pension of $60 per month. Here tofore he has been able to draw only $20 per month while he is in the hospital and in some instances as low as $8. Now he will get the full $60. However, if he is in the hospital for more than six months, he cannot draw more than $30 per month beyond the six-month pe riod,' but when he is discharged from treatment or care, he will re ceive a lump sum equal to the amount which was withheld after the six-month period. 1 If treatment or care is terminated by the veteran without approval of the VA then any amount withheld will not be paid until six months 'afterwards. If he is again'-ad mitted to a VA hospital, the re duction will be effective the date of readmission, but payments with held will be paid when-he is prop erly discharged. In event a veteran dies, while he is receiving treatment or care, any amount due him jrill be paid to his dependents. VAi. points out that this 20 per cent increase does not affect retirement pay and it does not apply to subsistence al lowances payable under Public Laws Nos. 16 and 346. The Veterans’ administration is urging veterans to take no action by making applications, writing letters or malting other inquiries, since these will only place an addi tional burden on the claims serv ice and hinder administration. They point out that the law requires no action, it is automatic and all vet erans entitled to the increase will receive their increased payments In the October I monthly pay ments. As for autos for leg amputees, the Isum of $30,000,000 has been ap proved to buy automobiles for those Veterans entitled, to compensa- ■ tion for loss, or loss of use, of ope or both legs at or above the ankle. The cost of each automobile is lim ited to $1,600 including special equipment or attachments neces sary to enable the veteran to oper- ' ate the car. I The law places upon the Veterans’ administration the ~ responsibility for determining that the veteran will be able, to operate the car safely and that he will be licensed to operate it. • - _ Gen. Omiar Bradley stated that complete details for machinery of the car purchase plan have not been completed. Applications will be made by the veteran to Qw nearest VA-office.

The session lfimly -will last’ ap-[ proximately'.two ,.weeks. Organized in4 the United States, th e -FAO Aas-held'three organiza tional,-meetings, ; one in Mexico City, another in South America and the third !in Canada. This fourth meeting is in Denmark.Each of Hie national farm organ izations has one representative at the meeting to press for the pro duction and distribution Vlans which were the result of the recent international agricultural meeting In London. The state department, as this is written, . has not an nounced names of the American of ficial’delegates,'but' Qie department of agriculture already 'has desig nated several men who. .will be come. . ,along. with farnt. organiza tion leaders, a part of the Ameri can advisory'-group. These include Under - Secretary . of AgHculture Dodd, production and marketing administration’s Shields, Wells of the bureau of agricultural econom ics, Bowles (not Chester) of the foreign agricultural relations de partment, Lambert of agricultural research and Stiebeling of home economics. This meeting of FAO will, hatch the first long range program for world agriculture, based upon' a worldwide survey, which has just been completed and which includes 70 countries. John Orr of ScoQand, director general of FAO, will present the proposals for this food program which, if adopted, will be laid be fore the meeting of United Nations at its scheduled meeting in Octo ber. ; ;;; Many Smaller Meetings ‘ This program is the result of ex ploration into the reasons for sur pluses and shortages in world food supply, and is expected to cpntain provisions for preventing the re currence of such conditions. In the meantime, committees of the or ganization have been holding meet ings ih various European cities on such questions as diet, nutritional goal, possible changes in produc tion to meet the goal, a current appraisal of the food situation in all the countries of the world, eco nomics and statistics, forestry and agricultural production and re search. Reports on these various phases of the agricultural picture will be presented to the meeting for rejection, adoption or modifica tion.^ . Farm leaders here are..-con vinced that the future at American agriculture is closely bound witii woHd agriculture, and. that never again can the United Steves draw within her shell with’ a policy of isolation.Our own agricultural market is so sensitive that it will be gov erned largely by world agricultural production, prices and distribu tion. No longer can. our expanded production depend upon the domes tic market for consumption!" Seventy countries are now mem bers of the FAO and..two new coun tries, Italy and Switzerland, are expected to apply for membership at the Copenhagen m eeting..In connection with, the economics and statistics report, it might be well to consider the recent report of the bureau of economics of the agriculture department, supple mented by findings of the Federal Reserve board, to the effect that some '32 million families in this country still , are earning less than $3,060 per year. If that figure is true in this country, and it un doubtedly is, think! what the meager- income must he of untold millions of families or the rest of Qie world. Most People Haoe Little Despite the fact that the Ameri can people have savings of some thing like 81 billion dollars in bank deposits, currency and government bonds/ . . . yet 70 per cent of the -American people have IijQe or nothing saved for the in evitable rainy day . . . the saving being concentrated in theupper in come brackets . . . the. people who take in $10,000 or more a year, and who' were well off before Qie war. So the w ar,'! Which poured hun dreds of billions of dollars into the pockets of the Am erican people, still left the country with the in come divided. ju st about as it was before the w ar.

So distribution, surplus and price’ too, at this important meeting of FAO will be one'of the major fac tors to be discussed in any long range ' agricultural program in Which feeding of the world’s popu lation is the most essential job before the organization. • -x ; SEW tNG CIRCLE PATTERNS J o o i 3 r e i l i ,P r e t t y J l t t 3 ) a y J lo n y j u n i o r s J l i h e 3 w o - p ie c e 3 r o c id BOBBY SOX NANCY F latters M ature Figure fOMFORTABLE, practical and ^ neat-as-a-pin home frock tor day-long charm.

Hamdin dates many of its records from that year and holds annual cdebra- tions.

ArU nsa Partnership Did you ever have a joint check ing account with somebody? They !can be handy things sometimes. So can a tin of gasoline In the base ment, but both are extremely dan gerous. AU parties concerned must, of necessity, have a co-operative understanding about how a joint checking account is to be used, how last and for what purposes. Other wise, one party’s error might cause the other one trouble, no end. I knew a man once who had a Joint checking account with his son, who was a minor. The father didn't deposit all his money in this ac count. He didn’t use it at all, in fact. It was just his way of guiding his son’s early efforts to balance accounts and use money wisely. The idea was to teach the boy -to distin guish between investing and just plain spending of money. A Joint Account I wish all taxpayers in the United States could realize that they have a joint checking account with Uncle Sam. Moreover, I wish they might suddenly wake up to the fact that everything they have is in this joint account. If Uncle Sam's stubs are not balanced, or if Uncle Sam’s checks are not all numbered, Mr. Taxpayer is certain to have to make it good personally when something “bounces.” Government can assess taxes to the amount of what government needs, or thinks it needs, and that’s a matter of judgment. Curing the war our executives spent, money faster than it came in, running the country’s debt td 268 billion dol lars. However wisely the debt was contracted, it will never be any smaller until government officials begin spending less .than they col lect from the people by taxation. Balance the Budget There is considerable doubt whether those who spend and those who pay have a co-operative under standing about their joint account. They ought to see eye-to-eye. Vic tory was cheap, whatever it cost in money, but the unpaid portion still has to be met. Moreover the coun try’s best economists think now is the time to start paying off the debt, while-nearly all of us are earning good pay. Recently I saw a summary of proposed federal spending for the next 12 months; a work-sheet from the 1947 budget, currently being considered. This budget can be bal anced as certainly as figures can be depended upon to tell the truth. It calls for an outlay of 35.1 billion dollars to come from 31.5 billion of revenue—just 3.6 billion dollars in the red. Such a shortage need not exist. Stay in the Black The deficit can be offset two or three times' by economy. Most of the expense items can be deflated some. Such obligations as social security, veterans’ benefits, refunds and the interest on public debt are fixed. They can’t be cut. But there are seven other general classifica tions of expenses that ought to be deflated about 50 per cent, all told. If this over-draft can be avoided it's a duty. Proposed expenses that ought to be lowered are these: FIGURES IN BILLIONS From To $16.0 $8.9 Itenw Might Be Cut National defense International finance Aids to agriculture General public works General government Supp’l. appropriations FiopOsed IegMation $23.3 $11.9 Shelled Unconscious ItrIu ijE F L nN G over Germany, AAF Seigeutt Alfred D.

BENSON PttM ut-M tnatf Cttttft Sctnf. A rittttt A Nation’s Good Gentlemen of the Continental Congress, who years ago made some important decisions tor us, today deserve a vote of confidence. Will we keep the form of govern ment they outlined and set up for us or do we change to something like that in Britain, France or Rus sia? 'Let us make our decision on a basis of results. If we don’t make it soon somebody will make it for us. Sdecting our course ourselves, doing so wisely and soon is ex tremely important. Small Items of business can- be bungled today and corrected tomorrow; but not this one. U the United States should once go collectivist completely, it would never be a republic again until people who live now are for gotten. There are no practice shots; we make this decision once, and that’s how it will be. A Nation’s Brains In comparing the .American sys tem with any socialistic 'plan, one point must be held In mind con stantly; Freedom to Hunk. Nothing is more valuable than good ideas and everybody has them. Nobody has a corner on them. Where any person is free to get ideas and put them to work at his .own risk, good ones come to light In a hurry and are put to work in a way that helps everybody; that’s democracy. Under any socialistic system of central planning, only a few are con sidered worthy to think. They have ideas occasionally, of course, but do not try them out at their own risk. They put them to work on a big scale at the nation’s risk. By this system the whole people must suf fer for the blunders of a few. That’s collectivism, and the differences show up dearly in general prosper ity. A Nation’s Income America is the most prosper ous country on earth. At the last check, national income in the Unit ed States was equal to that of the six next highest countries; national income being the grand total of what everybody earns. Under the American system, incomes are dif ferent; soi)!e higher than others but all high. In socialist countries in comes are more alike, uniformly low. America’s national enemies cry out against capitalism In tones that make the word sound like a dread disease. At least, under the ,American system, accumulated wealth is used rather than hoarded. Savings in America are invested in machinery to help workers produce more and earn more. Where profits are unlawful, dividends are impos sible, production and wages both low. A Nation’s Progress Let me illustrate what the Amer ican system is worth to the world: Solomon, King of Israel, and George Washington, the first President of the United States, lived about alike. They rode in horse-drawn vehicles, wore hand-loomed clothes, used ani mal oil for light and wood.for fuel They lived nearly 3,000 years apart. Think what you have now and re member that Washington died^Jess than 150 years ago.' The system of private enterprise has many critics. Students in mod em colleges and high schools are able glibly to point out defects in America’s manner of life. Admit tedly, it is not perfect because noth ing is perfect that is made’ up of imperfect people: Just the same, when the time comes to choose a successful system, pick one that makes the average man richer.

For the Iaat few years it has been on the down-grade. Losses have still amounted to something like $20,000,000 annually, and it still remains the nation’s worst swine killer. Of course, oompared with the peak- cyole losses, we have been comparatively - "hieky" recently. But now, charted on a yeai^by-yeor basis, the serious upswing-in the eholera cycle seems long overdue. The question Is—Wliat Should the average swine raiser do about ItT Vigilance, Is probably the best answer. That means that every pig on the farm should be vaoelnated against Cholera as soon as possible, around weaning time. It also means that when suspicious symptoms appear— Whether Oiey look Uke enteritis, erysipelas, or some other disease, cholera Should first be suspected and a veterinary diagnosis should be obtained, as a safety measure.. There Is nc “cure” for cholera, once it strikes. The only safety lies In preventive vaccination, before an outbreak occurs.

Walter E. IseDhoor. Hiddenite. N. C. Speak gently! let no harsh words mar The good we might do here. Speak gently! ’Tis a little thing Deopped in the heart’s deep well. The good, the joy which it may bring Eternity shall tell.—Bates • Not onlv u it good to “speak gently,” but in the meantime speak truthfully. Great men and women are trnthfnl. Truth builds charac ter and makes for true success, while falsehood destroys noble cha racter and brings defeat. To Il lustrate: > A young clerk in the dry goods business stated to a customer that such a piece of goods was not of the wave”, which the enstomer was asking for. The proprietor was very angtv and demanded why he did not show other goods. “ We did not have that quality in the store,” be replied. “ Young m an," said the proprie tor, "if you cannot stretch the truth a little to fit the circumstan ces you will never do for me ” Tbe clerk’s reply should be writ ten upon the conscience . of every one of us. “Very well, if I must tell falsehoods to keep my job, I must lose it. That’s all.” This clerk was Marshall Field, who later became one of the kings of commerce; while the dishonest employer became bankrupt and died in pover y. It is far better to miss a sale, ot lose a job, and tell the truth, than make a sale, or hold a job, but tell a lie. Sooner or later the truth will bring one to success, while the lit will eventually bring one to de feat. The truth spoken gently and kindly wins its way into the hearts of mankind, and they-in turn wili stand by an j support the one who Speaks thus. On the other hand, a lie may gain its point for the time being, but will lose it later, Hud may bring one down to final and eternal defeat. All good, honest, nobie people love the truth, but hate a lie. Not only' that, but God loves the truth and those who speak it Christiatis are truthful. Hypocrites oftentimes are liars. Certainly thev profess to be what they are not, andiihat pro fession is false. To speak and live the truth Is ennobling, while to speak and act a lie, or a falsehood, is degrading To speak gently the beautiful truth is to walk with Christ, who said, “ I am the _ way, the truth, and the life.” Mooey Loses Its Magic (Lanrinbur^ Exchange) North Carolina banks have move money than ever. Everybody seems tb have money, at least more than ever before But money has lost some of its magic There was a time when money could buy most anything. It could and did work miracles. There was no dror it cuuld not unlock, sno service it would not summon and command. But there are a whole catalog of things todav that mooev caunot buv, and a multitude of services that it can command onty with dif ficulty Who would have believed it? ' Yet it is trne. Money has never been so cheap. People have never held it in such low esteem, vet it is indispensable. And while the banks are bursting the seams and nearly everyone has a well fill purse, the day is coming when it will again command great respect and power > This situation in reverse where goods and servires play bide and seek with money,'threatens to oyer throw some of the old concepts. Money alone does not give seeurity. If won’t boy goods and services that are non-existent, not even on a black market. End “Rocking Chair Money” Veterans Administration authori ties adopted a realistic and com mendable attitude toward the “5 2- 2 0 ” Club. Veterans who cannot, find em ployment at fair remunertion which they can do satisfactorily are fujly entitled to the $ 2 0 a-week benefits provided them by Congress. But those ex-servicemen who make no effort to get jobs at a time when veterans are being given priorities ty most industries and business en terprises, and who are contented to .loaf while while drawing Govern, ment benefits should be forcibly impressed with the idea that these benefits are intended only fop the deserving unemployed. It well may be that reports con cerning the numbers and the at titude of “-so Club” members has heen grossly exaggerated. Again, it is possible that many younger veterians who never had a regular job prior to introduction into the armed forces, having stepped , from school rooms directly into the army, have littls idea wbat they can do and know little about the process of finding jobs. Wbat these boys may need is intelligent advice and guidazce rather tnan condemnation. The encouraging thing is that VA proper authorities are now making a mu'cn closer check on the ‘Rocking Chair Money” boys with a view toward prevention of 'waste in the expenditure of Federal funds and the development of a class ot social parasites devoid of the spirit of initative and self-reliance Noth lag can be a greater threat to the future of myraids of spineless indi viduals who come to fee! that there is no point in earning an honest dollar for themselves, and that Un cle Sam owes them their living,— Twin-City Sentinel.

READ THE ADf Alwifl With tiro Nww Wheat Crop Is Too Large Spokane, W ash,—Three million bushels of wheat In the Pacific Northwest, ltft begging for stor age Space because of an unprece dented crop and a shortage of rail road cars, are being piled in great mound at the mercy of the weather, a survey disclosed today. In the Big Bend country and other eastern Washington areas where the harvest is nearing its finish, railroad sources said 2 .0 0 0, 0 0 0 bushels of grain have lieen spilled out in the open near eleva tors along their rights-of-ways a- lone. In Umatilla, O re, 6 0 ,0 0 0 bushels lie on the gtound and 5 0 , 0 0 0 have been oiled in flat ware houses. Willard N Crawford, Portland, Ore , field secretary of the Pacific Northwest Crop Improvement As sociation, estimated the total now piled outside in Oregan and Wash ington at 3 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 bushels and pointed out that more big mounds will be attend as the harvest in the Palouse district of Idaho eod Wash ington, now about half- completed, nears its eod. Howard Hughes, manager of Pullman (Wash.) Grain Growers, In c , which has 22 warehouses the Palouse, said “ we’ll be pilling grain on the ground by next Sun. day.” He estimated “ a few hund red thousand bushels” would be affected. Last year was the first in which Palouse grain bad to be so stored. The storage problem arose de spite considerable building of ele vators and the fact that all build ings had been emptied of grain this spring in the famine relief pro gram. Old Scarcity TheQry Officials of the Agricultural de partment ate beginning to worry already about surpluses. They fear that in some day not far in the fu ture America' will wake up with ton much of everything. ' They do this iu the midst of scarcity and high prices and while half the world is hungry, part of it having just emerged from a fa mine basis. These officials are still evidently adherents to the old scarcity theory which was demonstrated by. burn ing extra acres of wheat In the field, pouring milk Into the streams and killing off part of the pig crop. The idea is to make evorything scarce' except money and every body will be rich. It produces a qneer combination —an empty stomach and a pocket fnll of folding money. That isn’t working out very 'well. But that is the old scarcity program, which was given a long trial until war came and it was found that noth ing could take the place o f. muni tions. food, ships, oil, steel and other thin?s-that were worth more than their weight in gold while Hitler threatened the entire world. It might be a good plan for offi cials to go'ahead and end the short age we have—and we have plenty of them —before creating any ad ditional ones. Then will be time tor them again to' bring out their crackpot ideas —Charlotte Obser- server. , Do You Reiul Tbe Record?

The End Is Coming Editor Davie Record:—I pass to you some of the thoughts of my thinking. Why is it that we, the people, are so slow to . adjust onr valuation of things worth while. To illustrate; the Book says it is more blessed to give than to re* ceive. We. know it is worse for me to wrong my neighbor than for him to wrong me. It is so with nations. Not so long ago we had no enemies. Nations we went in to do or to help god do them Now we don’t know if we have a friend. Love is the fulfilling of (he, law. The best thing iti the world we don’t value. If we cultivate hate and there is overproduction, thete is a reason for it all. v It is one word, selfishness—the opposite of love. We live, all of us, in har mony with our concept of God. The first word in the Bible is God. If no creation there could be no re. demption. AU that a good wise and loving God has done and is doing, is that we-may know and appreciate His love so He can re store his image in us, a perfect character. -It is all that is worth while. Jnst the 119th Psalm tells enongh for ns to know. The per fectness of the provision tor under standing unless we, the people nse the perfect law that a perfect God gave to perfect character io us. We as nations, states and homes are doomed, and our* boasted use of bombs will not avail, and ' the more these should be wise men tamper abd menipulate, the nearer the final day dawns. So let’s be wise and wake up. Mercv lingers. J. P. BURTON. Hickory, N. C , R I , By Their Greed (Mount Holly News) By their greed we have known them.

Mysterious Rocks Pelt Tobacco Barn Union Grove.—A.rock-throwing mystery which has been going on tor more than four weeks has cre ated excitement in this north Ire dell community. One nigh) about four weeks ago rocks began falling at the tobacco barn of Gus Myers, who lives a- bout two miles north of here, not far from the Yadkln-Iredell Wilkes “corner.” Nothing much was thought about it at first because Myers and others thought it was merely the trick ot some prankster trying to scare the owner await from his 'work of Curing tobacco. . But when the pebbles continued to fall through the night, and start ed again the following night, more serious throught was - attached to the occurrence. Since that time it has been a continuous thing - at Myers’ tobacco barn almost nightly. Almost on the exact hour of 9 p. m., each night the rock-throwning begins and continues until about 4 :3 0 a. m In addition to Myers’ barn, which has oeen under a cou tiuuous nightly bombardment, the curing barn of Judy Gregory, a neighbor, has been rocken three or four times. Iredell officers, lnclnding th e ' Sheriff and several of bis deputies in addition tb State Patrolmen, have been in almost constant night ly vigil at the scene for the past two weeks. The presence of the officers has tended to slow down but not stop the rock-throwing. Machine guns and smaller arms have been brought into play by the officers to no avs.il. More than a thousand shots were fired one night, and returned veterans ot the com munity state that the sound brings back memories of other guns firing a little over a year ago. Several persons have been hit by the falling pebbles, including M y ers, Gregory, and some of the of fleers Myers’ young son was hit in the back one night while' firing, a shotgun in the opposite direction. The spectacle has created so much excitement and curiosity . many hundreds of people have visited the scene as spectators. Some have been hit by rocks -J. D.

' As Underwood, stooped to pick up the wood, a pebble , thrown with terrific Jorce almost knocked him to the gromid. - As more and more spectators visited the scene, the menache be came so great that officers have barred the road leading to the Myers premises and no one is al* lowed to enter after dark. BU SIN ESS THE DAVIE RECOUP. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. SBRyiCVBURIAU EDITORS NOTE: This newspaper, through special arrangement with the Washington Bureau of Western Neuapw per Union at 1616 Eye SlfeeI, N. W . Washington, D. Cv is able to bring read ers Ais aedUy column on'problems of Ae veteran and serviceman end his family. Questions may be addressed to the above Bureau and they tvUl be answered in a subsequent column. No replies can be made direct by mail, but only in-the' column which will appear in Ais news paper regularly. ProvtM iu of Terminal Pay Veterans’ Service bureau today contains the answers to countless inquiries which have come to our Washington office concerning pro visions of the new terminal pay law for enlisted men, recently signed by the President. Official title to the act is the armed forces leave' act of 1946, which, by the way, is the first major revision of armed forces leave policies in 70 years, since the basic law respecting army and navy officers’ leaves dates from 1874, with an amendment in 1876. Here’s what the act does: Overall, it gives to about 15 million former army, navy, 'marine and coast guard members an estimated 2.7 billion dollars in cash and interest bearing five-year bonds. Essentially the act gives officers and enlisted men and women of all services identical leave rights and limits the amount of leave which any individual may accrue to . 60 days, instead of the maximum of 120 days for officers as heretofore. Men still in active service who have accumulated from 61 to 120 days leave as of September 1, 1946, will be reimbursed in cash and bonds for the balance over 60 days, and on September I will have to their credit 60 days leave. As more leave time accrues to these per sons, they must take their leave or lose credit for it. : All veterans who already have left the service will be paid in cash and bonds for accumulated leave not taken up to 120 days between September 8, 1939, and September I, 1946. The treasury, the army and the navy have outlined the fol lowing steps to be taken by veterans in applying for their payments: 1. Obtain from any post office in the country a form entitled, “Claim for Settlement Unused Leave” and the instruction sheet which goes with it. 2. Fill out this form, following the instruction sheet. If assistance is desired it may be obtained at any of the 3,000 - odd veterans* com-munity information or advisory cen ters throughout the nation, or at the office of any. state or county veterans’ service officer. 3. Swear to or affirm the statements made in the form before a notary public or other civil offi cer authorised to administer oaths. The majority of the community in. formation or advisory centers will provide this notarial service free of charge. 4. Mail the completed form, to gether with your discharge certifi cate, or certification of service for each period of service covered in the claim, to the appropriate army, navy, marine corps or coast guard paying officer listed on the reverse side of the claim form. Your dis charge certificate may be the orig inal, a photostatic copy, or a certi fied copy. If the original discharge certificate has been lost or . de stroyed, a certificate in lieu of dis charge, which will be considered as valid evidence for payment, will be issued on application to the ap propriate one of the following agencies: For army—the Adjutant General’s, office, 4300 Goodfellow Blvd., St. Louis 20, Mo.; for navy —Chief of Naval Personnel, Navy department, Washington 25, D. C.; for marine corps — Headquarters U. S. Marine Corps, Washington, 25, D. C.; for coast guard—Comman dant of the Coast Guard, Washing ton 25, D. C. In ' case of veterans from the army, a form for which to apply for a certificate may be obtained at any recruiting office. It is a good idea to have at least one photostatic copy of your original discharge' cer tificate made for your own files, i 5. Upon receipt of the claim and supporting papers, the paying of ficer will examine all documents to. make certain they are in proper form for payment, and after the supporting papers, the paying of- their purpose, they will be mailed back to you. Payment will be made as soon as possible, possibly/ by October I. But do not write or call in person to paying officers in quiring about your claim, it will only delay speedy settlement ol claims. 6. If the amount of the claim is less than $50, or if the claimant-was last separated from active service before January I, 1943, payment will be made in full by treasury check. For claims over $50 pay ment will be in bonds to > multi ples of $25, with a check for the balance. For instance, if the leave claim is for $219, the veteran will get $200 to $25 bonds and a check for $19. In cases -where veterans have died, or to cases where they have been adjudged, incompetent, payment will be made fully check to survivors.

M ost mothers wouldn’t hear of the youngster eat ing a slim sandwich and a coke if they were eating at home, but many of them ignore such eating habits away from home. Each child, who eats out near school, should be thoroughly coached to the selection at his food. If lunch is brought from home, the mother has an accurate check on her child’s food. She will be able to tell Whether the child eats his food or not by his general behaviour and physical condition. Now, what are the requirements of a good noonday meal? They are a third of the day’s calories and a third, if possible, of the fruit, vege tables, meat or substitute, bread and milk required for good health, A good idea for the mother who must prepare daily lunches , is to have a shelf with all lunch-making equipment assembled, plus a cor ner to the refrigerator to take care of the perishables. This makes speed and efficiency possible. A variety of breads is essential if lunches are to stimulate interest to eating from day to day. You can purchase white, whole wheat and rye bread, but it’s smart to make specialty breads occasionally. G raham Pnm e Bread.

Bake to a well greased bread tin (let mixture stand to tin 10 minutes before baking) then -use a moderate (350 degree) oven for % to I hour. If sandwiches are the mainstay of the box lunch, they should be just as interest-, tog as it is pos sible to. m ake them. Have the .bread m oistly fresh, use soft- vened butter, or a flavored butter (lik e c h ili o r mustard butter), have the filling well seasoned and not too dry. If using lettuce, have it washed well and very carefully dried. You’ll like some of these ideas:Chili butter: soften cup but ter and mix thoroughly with I table spoon chili sauce.

Baked beans m ixed with chill sauce. - For cooler, (fays, make sure there’s a nice hot drink to go with sandwiches; or, better still, make up some hot soup and put it up to a thermos. The youngsters will really enjoy it. What shall you put to for dessert? Well, there’s fruited gelatin, indi vidual pies,' turnovers, cup cakes, cookies, sweet rolls, fresh fruit, fruit or berry sauces and puddings.

AtfliiiirGoiiib Must Be Oatlawfldl Or Civilhatfflii Is Doomed T1HE President’s committee, headed by Sen. Carl Hatch (D., N. M.) which observed the atomic bomb tests at Bikini; and the mili tary evaluation board of the joint chiefs of staff have submitted their first report on these naval experi ments to atomic energy. After reciting the results of the two blasts, the President’s committee tersely said: “The tests at Bfldni strongly, indicate that fu ture wars employing atomic bombs may well destroy nations and change present standards of civili sation.” • - This reporter, as one who wit nessed the Bikini experiment, is firmly convinced that unless there is a change in thinking, a veritable revolution to the minds of the American people regarding the future of atomic energy, and specifically the atomic bomb . . . unless there is an end to our monopoly of this tre mendous force, we may keep our secret for a few short years, but we shall gain the hate and envy and suspicion of the entire world. There is no alternative . . . either we share the secret of the atomic bomb and not only outlaw it inter nationally as a weapon of war, and outlaw war itself, or we surely are headed toward a third world war of annihilation. This nation and HO other nation can protect itself against atomic power merely by ontlairing it as we have outlawed poison gas. There is a defense against poison gas. Within a few years other nations will have mas tered the secret of the manufacture of atomic bombs, and against these bombs there is and there will be no defense. No matter how holy we m ay'be to our determination not to use this absolute weapon aggressively, we will continue to reap the distrust and suspicion of every other nation. We have used it against Japan. Why would we not use it again? Such is the reasoning of worried realists everywhere. The Baruch report to the United Nations, without question', should be adopted. And the United Nations should ban the bomb, and to keep it banned, should organize, an inter national inspection or police forceto make certain there is no evasion afoot. tGolden Rtdtf Cited' Speaking on the atomic bomb and atomic energy recently, Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace said: “We have all heard of the /golden rule. Some of us say that it is a beautiful ideal, but not very prac tical. I say that Christian morality, IMd as practiced during the last 1900 years, but as Jesus Mmself taught it, has finally become the most practical thing to the world. “The golden rule means that we look at things from the other fel low’s point of view as well as -our own. If every nation to the world could, for one week, drop its selfish, hateful, maneuvering and adopt the golden rule, we would work out an international moral code that would permit us to use atomic energy safely so as to onlock for us one door after another to abundance and joyous living.” The scientists and physicists who discovered and successfully manu factured the atomic bomb are' the most international-minded people in the world. They have real interna tional co-operation and internation al thinking. International peace will not come until the rest of the peoples of the world have this same feeling of- co-operation. Scientists are aware of the horror they have created to the atomic bomb . . . they are aware of the danger of the Frankenstein boomerang . . . and no group has been more vocal than they to urging .that their secret, now our secret, be given to all the nations and that international con trol for protectidn be set up to the United Nations. The committee report pointed out that the bureau of ships is studying the results of the Bikini tests and says, "undoubtedly they will point the way towards changes to ship size, design and structure.” The report further says that such changes in ships can offer increased immunity from flash and blast ef fect, but such changes will not pro tect manpower from the catastro phe of deadly gamma and neutron radiation. This reporter beliefs that once atomic energy is let loose to war, there will be no need tor navies. There will be nothing for them to protect, no cities, no navy yards, nor harbor installations. Neither will there be any need for armies. For war with atomic bombs will mean a war of extermination of civilian populations. The. wisest minds now working to our military establishment can see no adequafy defense, not even much' chance of minimizing the terrible destruction which would ensue even by going deep underground.. !

RUSSIA’S BIG MISTAKE WASHINGTON. — If the Soviet government had deliberately set out to make, mistakes it couldn’t have made more than it has piled up in the past year. In the one year that has passed since V-J Day, Russia has won the ill will of her neigh boring countries in Europe, has lost virtually all her friends in the United States and has turned most of the world against her. In considering our present drained relations with Russia, this is all-important. It indicates that time is running on our side, that Russia’s own policies are playing into our hands, and that war can be avoided. One year ago Soviet Russia was considered the great savior of the world. In Europe, the Russians were given credit, far more than the United States, for liberating the occupied countries, were even hailed by some as the pioneers of a new world order. In the U. S., most Americans had a genuine , ad miration for the heroism of the Russian people and looked for ward to a period of friendly co operation. Today that good will has vanished. In all of Russia’s satellites, with the possible exception of Finland and Czechoslovakia, the Soviet is extremely unpopular, even hated. Romania and Bulgaria would bolt Russia in a minute were it not for the Red army. Hungary and Aus tria, which Russia hoped to win over, ,voted overwhelmingly against the Soviet. In France the strong Communist upsurge now has hit the downgrade. Even in Yugoslavia, where Tito is supposed to be su preme, the Russians are not popu lar. Most interesting fact is that the countries nearest the Russians usually dislike them most. Thus in more distant France, there is more pro-Soviet sentiment than in the ad jacent Balkans. Finally, in the American-British zones of Germany, Germans are fearful lest the western allies even- Wtlly evacute and Russia walks in, • * * V . S. STOCK GOES VP Thus the world has turned against In aggressor nation. Thus also, the world has turned toward a nation which has no selfish axes to grind «<nd which is attempting to co-oper ate with the rest of the world. This is what Secretary of State fevrnes has sincerely tried to do at P»ris; and as far as this observer coiled ascertain, his patient, fair- minced policy is paying dividends. Part jf the world, once ready to sing Russia’s praises, has veered toward Ihe United States. Therefore, the No. I point of Americah policy should be . to work things out within the family of nations; .to put Palestine and other 'coiwW iiJial problems under the United Nations; not to let the British drag us into separate al liances. This is our greatest dan ger. If we become the tail on the British kite, we can be euchred into war With Russia — exactly where the British foreign office imperial ists want us. But as long as the smaller independent nations of the world are convinced of our unsel fish motives, as long as We remain 'joof from both sides, our StrenpfA as a world leader is secure. • » * TEtTTON INCREASES However, this alone may not head oif Var with Russia. As this is written, censored diplomatic dis patches from the Far East report three days of rifle skirmishing be- *ween American and Russian troops Aong the Korean border. This is the first time U. S.-USSR troops have deliberately fired at each other. Another censored dispatch from London reports the British genera] staff meeting daily to plan strategy for defending the British lifeline in the Near East. In other words, certain belliger ent elements in Rusisia are quite willing to risk war now; and cer tain elements in England' believe a showdown is better now than later. In a charged atmosphere like this,* one spark can cause tragedy. However, this observer’s experi ence in watching foreign affairs con vinces him that seldom does any nation provoke an incident if it knows that incident means war; thus the best way to prevent war is to let a prospective belligerent know he will get it in the neck if he sticks his neck out. In other words,, if Russia knows categorically and definitely that she will be at war with us if she be comes . an aggressor against the United Nations, then the chances . are 100 to I Russia will risk no war. :i‘! , . * . COULD HAVE STOPPED HITLER To illustrate: If Adolf Hitler had known he would have been at war with France and England when he sent his troops into the Ruhr and Rhineland he never would have given them marching orders. As it was, fearing war, he gave them two sets of orders, one to advance and the second to retreat if the French resisted. Likewise, Hitler never would have sent his troops into Aus tria if he hadn’t known the Allies were unprepared. He was right aa later events proved. MOHASfMEDANS GO BESERK . , . M embers of th e .

Doctor — Just leave that to me. Now we’ve got to find out what has made you act the way you do. Did anything ever happen to you as a child? Did you ever fall out of your high chair? World — I couldn’t say for cer tain. But I’ve been falling out of it ever since!t Doctor — I ask that because I ob serve many bruises on your head. World — You should see the ones in some other places! *_ Doctor — Was your home life marked by violence at any period? World — Sometimes I doii’t feel that I had any home life; it seems that I was always on horseback or on an army truck. Doctor — Did you as a child feel frustrated, unable to express your self, balked in attaining your de sires? World — One time when I showed up with gun powder, which was really a lovely, plaything, they bawled me out sumpin’ awful. I got licked for that, too. ' J ' Doctor — d ear as a bell! They filled your young mind with the feeling of frustrations.. Your natural development was thwaried. I’ll bet they even objected when you played with poison gas. World — Yep. What a row they made. I remember they said I would come to no good end and might even wind up as the kind of boy who would throw atom bombs..

His union, though in the AFL, is auton omous and he is its absolute duce. . . . He defies economic laws as he defies the nation’s laws, which he now is doing 0 agrantly and blat antly — and he loves it; he loves that sensation of dictatorial arro gance: “Hah—-I’m bigger than all America, Nothing can touch Pet- rillo. The world can’t live without music—and I own the music. I have millions of dollars and don’t account to anybody. My voiceless fiddlers and drummers and horn- blowers worship me. Congress passes a special law just against me—and that law I break. . . . So this is a republic. . . . No king. . . . What a laugh!” Meyer Davis, the society maestro, wires me a lengthy defense of James Caesar Pet- rillo, who, he says, “has abso lutely no jurisdiction over pro posed raises in N. I . night clubs.” He adds, "There is too much hooey about Petrillo1 just because he is colorful.” If that’s what’s the matter with Petril- Io, I’m color-blind. I’m also dumb.

Smith, is in town again, third time in two weeks he’s flown hither. . . ; “I got a nap in the plane,” he tells me. “I hadn’t been to bed in four days and nights.” . . .

With in the year he has bought and con verted a Hollywood cafe into Tom’ Breneman’s, run the morning breakfast broadcast there into a national sensation, had it filmed ■ for a feature; promoted rodeos, signed Gene Autrey for five years and will publish his biography; bought a hotel and cabanas in Palm Springs; tied up “Pappy” Boyington for his book and picture rights, and has a $150,000 Warner of fer on the latter; organized a com pany to publish a magazine devoted to western movies; incorporated a company to produce Nils T. Grandlund’s picture, "Rhythm Ranch” ; bought Chestertown, fa vorite in the Hambletonian, for $40,000, highest price ever paid for a trotter, to add to his large stable; founded the association which con verted Santa Anita to trotting; con ducts the largest enterprise in the West making aluminum furniture and luggage. . . . And nobody can play harder than he—or work half as hard. Durocher, says Lew Parker, acts as though he were fighting Joe Louis, not St. Louis! Lt. Cd. Gregory (Pappy) Boy- ington’s book is finished and in the hands of the busy Walter E. Smith, who seems to have about eight hands.

Tom thought she was bedridden; I hadn’t told him that she was grow ing stronger, that she could walk— not very far, but at least she was no longer helpless. I knew, of course, the danger that was growing around her—danger that she might slip away from me and—do some horrible thing—” Bob said swiftly, “Then you mean that she managed to get away and kill Mrs. Stevenson?” Miss Martha flung up her head. Her eyes blazed. “She did nothing of the -sort! Use your head, young man. It’s a mile from our-house to Mrs. Stevenson’s place—she couldn’t travel that far. And she hasn’t been out of my sight one single minute since the night she attacked me,” she blazed at him hotly. Bob said gently, “We have only your word-for that, Miss Evans."" Miss Martha’s stocky body slumped a little and she said weari ly, “Yes, of course—you have only my word for it—” “And the knife, Miss Evans?” asked Bob very quietly. She seemed to wince as though he had struck her. She drew a deep breath and lifted, her head a little,, though her shoulders sagged. “Yes, the knife,” she repeated. “That was—night before last. As I said, Tom didn’t know that Letty could get out of bed, or walk; he thought it was a little foolish of me to keep every sharp-pointed instru ment in the house under lock and key. He thought as long as we kept them out of her room, out of her reach—” She shrugged tiredly and then she went on in that heavy, ex hausted voice, “so he left a knife out on the kitchen sink night before last. I’d—had a good deal of trouble with Letty and I was very tired. I slept in her room and I thought that she was sleeping soundly, and so I let myself go to sleep. When I woke up—I don’t know what woke me, but — suddenly I was wide awake, and—there was Letty stand ing beside my bed, bending over me, the moonlight on—that knife in her hand—” She set her teeth hard In her lower lip, and her hands crushed each other, and in spite of her efforts at self-control, two swol len tears slipped from her eyes and down her white cheeks, leaving little marks in the thick powder spread so inexpertly there. Megan went to her and put an arm about her, and for a moment, Miss Martha resisted; then she turned and hid her face against Me gan, while the two men waited. Laurence was sick with pity for this tired, harassed woman who had car ried her heartbreaking burden for so Mg with such indomitable cour age; Bob’s egression was intent, watchful-waiting. \ Miss Martha went- on, “I screamed, and that roused Tom, and —well, between us we managed to get the knife away from her. She fought hard, and then suddenly—she wei.t to pieces, just slumped be tween us like a ragdoll that’s lost all its sawdust. We got her to bed. We knew there was nothing we could do for her. The doctor warned us—any sudden exertion, excitement —would almost certainly result in • brain hemorrhage—” She paused again and then went on, “I left her with Tom. I wanted to get rid of that awful knife, once and for all time. So I hid it—where you found it.” She was limp with exhaustion and nerve strain and Bob let her rest for a moment before he asked very gently, “And—your sister, Miss Ev-' ans?”Miss Marflia said in a voice that was a ghost of sound, “She—died early this morning.” It was an hour later, after Miss Martha had had a cup of coffee and a chance to rest a little, that Bob went over the story of the knife again.“It seems quite a coincidence, Miss Evans, that all this happened the same night that Mrs. Stevjm, son was killed,” he pointed out. “I don’t know anything about that, young man,” said Miss Martha, with the faintest possible trace of her old brusqueness. “All. I know is that when I heard .you’d found the knife, I was afraid some inno cent person' would be accused of do ing away with the Stevenson wom an by means of that knife. And I knew I had to come and ten you about it, since telling you cbuldn’t cause my poor Letty any trouble— now.” Bob nojlded, sitting on the edge of the desk, his eyes fastened on Miss Martha’s face. “Amos, -who saw the knife being hidden, spoke of a ‘thing in white, about eight feet tall’—” he men tioned. There was the faintest possible trace of a smile in Miss Martha’s tireSd eyes.“I know,” she told him quietly. “It -was a bright moonlight night and you never know who may be' roaming around late at night in these parts,” and for just the barest instant her glance flickered towards Megan and away. “I didn’t want anyone to see me—you can under- staid that, of course. Aiui it oc curred to me that that old place would be an ideal place to hide something you didn’t ever want found. But if somebody.saw me— and recognized me—you see?” Bob nodded. “Of course,” he an swered quickly. “Well, Tom was with Letty,” Miss Martha went on. “I slipped out into Then she turned and hid her face against Megan, while the men waited. the kitchen, got the knife, and a sheet out of the linen closet. I also took a good stout walking stick that I sometimes use when I go to the grocery—there are. so many half savage dogs around—and I put one of Tom’s hats on the end of the stick, and held the stick above my head, under the sheet. I imagine I must have looked pretty fearsome. But, you see, I wanted anybody who saw me to think he was seeing a ghost—and if such things as ghosts, exist, surely their favorite place would be something like that old overgrown garden. I never dreamed that anybody seeing me would- stop long enough to see what I was do ing—or, if he did, that he would re port it to anybody.” “You didn’t see Amos?” asked Bob quickly. “No,” answered Miss Martha, and hesitated so oddly that Bob’s atten tion was caught and it grew strong er. “Whom did you see then?” de manded Bob. "No one,” answered Miss Martha firmly. Too firmly. Too emphat ically. “I saw no one at all—no one.” Bob said sternly, “You’re not tell ing me the truth, Miss Evans. Up to now, .I believe you. But if you start telling me lies now, don’t you see you’re likely to make me believe that all you’ve told .me is a lie!” Miss Martha said grimly, “You can believe anything you want to, young man. I’ve told you all Tm going to tell you. And I’d never' have told you what I did if I had not felt so sure thafyou’d jump to the conclusion that the. knife Amos helped you find was the one that killed Mrs. Stevenson—and once you were convinced of that, you’d not stop until you’d hauled in some poor devil that was as innocent of that crime as—my poor Letty.” Sbe got up and Bob said sternly, 'T ve not finished yet—” . Miss Martha eyed , him as though he had been an importunate beg gar,' and said coolly, “Haven’t you? Well, I have. Good day to you all.” Sie looked at Megan and said tonelessly, “Tom and I are—taking Letty home. We’re leaving today, so this will be good-by—^nd-thanks for all you’ve done.” “Miss Martha', whom <Ud you see- that night?” Bob demanded sharp ly. “I can forbid you to leave, you know—I can hold you as a material witness—” “A witness to what? I wasn’t with in a mile of the Stevenson {dace,** Hliss Martha pointed out. “Amos is my alibi, just as I am his. I’d say that he and I are the two people who couldn’t possibly have had any thing to do with the murder,” “But you did see someone that night—" began Bob. She met his eyes stralghtly and said coolly, “Did I?” Megan drew a deep breath and said leveliy, .“You. saw me, didn’t you. Miss Martha?” Bob flu&g: her a startled ;glance, but Laurence’s mouth only tightened a little. Miss Martha looked' straight at Megan and then she sighed and nod ded. . “Yes, I saw you,” she' admit ted. • Bob said quickly, “ Look here, Miss MacTavish, you haven’t told me anything about being up there that night—” “You didn’t ask m e!" Megan re minded him. "I said that if you were in bed and asleep, you couldn’t have heard a scream—” Megan nodded.: “And I.said, no, I couldn’t—but you didn’t ask me if I had been in my bed asleep,’* she reminded him again. “Who was with you?” he asked sternly. “Don’t teU me you went out alone at that time of night.” Megan said quietly, “No, I wasn’t alone. I was when I left the house. But when I reached the Ridge—Mr. Fallon was there and we talked a little while.” Bob asked abruptly, "Your father was involved with Mrs. Stevenson, wasn’t he?” Megan gapped as though he had struck her, and Laurence said sharply, “Hi, lay off, Bob. You have no right to ask her such a question.” Bob met his eyes squarely and said coolly, “Haven’t I?” “As her counsel—” began Lau rence heatedly, but Bob’s grin was cool, amused, and it silenced him. Bob lit a cigarette, first securing permission from Megan. And then he looked at Miss Mar tha and said very gently, “Miss Evans, just why did you 'kill Mrs. Stevenson?” It was so unexpected, and the tone of his quiet, even voice was in such contrast to the thing he said that for a moment'everybody in the room went rigid; and outside the door, in the shadowy hall, there was a smothered gasp from the unseen, but listening, Annie. Miss Martha sat very quiet for a moment, her body held upright by her grip on the arms of her chair. Without raising her face she lifted her eyes, and looked straight at Bob. He was watching her quietly, steadily, and in complete silence. After a moment, Miss Martha sagged back in her chair, limp and beaten, all her defenses down. “All right,” she said, her voice a mere thread of sound. “I-n-did it.” Megan caught her breath on a strangled sob and swayed a little. And Laurence, without taking his eyes off Miss Martha’s white, rav aged face, put his arm about Megan and drew her close. “Why, Miss Martha?” asked Bob, very gently, with pity in his voice. Miss Martha drew a hard breath and lifted her hands in a little ges ture of helplessness before she gripped them once more about the arms of her chair. “I—hated her. She was a wicked woman. She made so much trouble for every body. She had started spreading Ues and slander about Tom. I was afraid that Letty might hear—in one of her periods of lucidity. Tomtold me about the things she was saying. He had been foolish enough to go to her house one evening and face heir with a story she was spreading about him and—Miss MacTavish- " The tired voice died and she opened her eyes and looked at Me gan and said faintly, “I’m—sorry, but I might as well tell you the whole story.” “So Mrs. Stevenson was broad casting the fact that Miss MacTav- ish and Mr. Fallon were friends, and hinting that there was more to it* than that, and you decided to have a talk with her—was that it?” Bob’s gentle voice asked Miss Mar. tha.Sie rubbed her hands together as though the palms were damp and her voice steadied a little. “Yes, that was it,” she said evenly. “And Mrs. Stevenson was curious about Letty*s illness and she came prying and snooping. Tom and I knew Siat if the people here in Pleasant Grove knew that Letty was—of unsound mind, they might be afraid of her, for all that she was completely help less, and that Tom might lose his job, or worse still, that he Hiight be forced to—put Letty away In an— institution. We couldn’t bear the thought of that.” Once more the voice died "away, and without a sound Annie materialized beside Miss Martha’s chair, offering her a ’ glass in which there was some pun gent-smelling, milky colored: fluid. Bob-waited patiently until Annie had performed her act of kindliness and had once more vanished, as si lently as she had' <$me. - “So you went to have a talk w ith' Mrs. Stevenson,” Bob prompted MiSs Martha, bis tone gentle and friendly. “Yes,” said Miss .Martha, and- now1 die was pleating the crisp per cale of her housedress over her knee with twitching fingers, her eyes om the task.

MEMORY SELECTIO N-H e th a t trusteth In his riches shall fall; but th e righteous shall flourish as a branch.—Proverbs 11:28. -The Ten Commandments, the study} of which we conclude today (the remaining lessons of the quar ter deal with other laws), have beat revealed to us as being character ized by their brevity, their compre hensive touch with all of life, and fidelity to the right. But they are also unique .and different from all other laws' in that they reach into the inner recesses of a man’s heart, a lrealm where only God can judge and act. This last commandment (against covetousness) emphasizes that point, for it does not expressly require or forbid any act, but deals with the motive of man’s action. Man can judge another man’s acts, but he cannot judge his motives, desires or thoughts. God must do that., But man can, by the grace of God, control his motives; and hence we have this commandment and its interpretation. I. Covetousness — What It Is (Exod. 20:17). . To covet does not mean just to desire, but to have an unrestrained desire for that which we ought not to have or which by right belongs to another. It shows itself in our day in a more general way — an inordinate desire for possessions in general. There too man loses himself. It may be a surprise to many to learn that coveting, or desiring what be longs to another, is a sin. It has be come one of the “respectable sins” accepted in the best circles and practiced by many church people. As a matter of fact, this sin under lies all the other- sins against which the commandments speak. He who has a love for money and an evil desire to have his neighbor’s pos sessions will hate, lie, Steal, cheat, kill. In fact, as Dr. G. Campbell Morgan' says, “The whole realm of human interrelations is disorgan ized and broken up by the dishonor ing of the tenth commandment.” II. Covetousness — What It Does (Prov. 11:23, 24; Luke 12:13-21). I. It Makes a Man Stingy (Prov. 11:23, 24). The righteous man’seeks' that which is good and he knows nothing of the close-fisted stinginess' which withholds from God and man. Sometimes to economize is to lose,' and to be liberal is to gain— especially in the things of God. God gives liberally (James 1:5), and the man who knows God scat ters not only his money, but . his riches of mind and service for God’s glory. In sad contrast is the man who keeps his possessions' for himself and reaps. only the .barrenness of soul and leanness of life. - .2. It . Makes a Man Envious (Luke 12:13-15). Noting ,the ability of Jesus in dealing with others, this main thought to divert the-Lord from his real ministry to the souls of men to the settling of social problems— all because he was greedy. Some church leaders think that is our r> business now — to preach and promote a social gospel. They had better reread verse 14. 3. It Makes a Man Selfish (Luke 12:16,17). The one who was known to his friends as the “rich man” (v. 16) was known to God as a “fool” (v. 20), because having more than he could use he hoarded it-for himself. One wonders what he had to say for himself when that very night he was called into the pres ence of God to give an account of his stewardship (v. 20). If yoii are similarly situated and have the- same attitude, what wiU you say in that day? 4. It Makes a Man Proud (Luke 12:18). All around him were the hungry. He needed no barns, for Uiere were the empty hands of the needy;' but money had made him hard and proud. He would build bigger barns, perhaps the biggest in that community.-People wotdd mar* vel at his prosperity and he would live long to enjoy-it. ' But it did . not work out that way, for, alas, it is true of covet- ousness that— 5. It Makes a Man Foolish (Luke 22:19-21).' The man who reckons without God is sure to come to grief. Leaving him out of one’s, thinking:. and planning invites di»> aster. God caned, and he who had thought to go on for years in self ish pleasure,~ found that he must go and leave it an.

BENSON PttsiiiKt-Htrdliig CtUtgc Scaug, A titK S tt ie Alternative ' Last year when forces in' govern ment encouraged a big increase in wage levels they started an infla tionary spiral which the OPA and all other control agencies found themselves powerless to stop. Even inaccurate statistics indicating that living costs had not increased more than 5% or 6% did not fool anybody very long. The price line could not be held. How far can inflation climb? Let me cite an extreme case. In 1925- 36, while I was living in Canton, China, a Chinese dollar usually bought about 18 pounds of rice. To day that much rice commands a price of 2,300 Chinese dollars. By the way, an American dollar (worth 3 to 4 Chinese dollars when I was there) will buy about 2,300 Chinese dollars now. That is inflation) Wbat of America? Hard-earned savings in China are not worth much today. Even in America the same trend is active. It keeps taking more and more dol lars to provide food, clothing and housing here. How far will it go? What might it do to the American, people? Can we keep it from get ting much worse? Are we sure we can avert disaster? If so,- what are the things that need to be done? These were the questions on my mind when I was admitted to the ofiice of John W. Snyder, Secretary of the United States Treasury, on the afternoon of July II, in Wash ington. This was while the OPA was inoperative. Mr. Snyder’s ap pearance and his words are vigor ous, and his expressions are straightforward. In plain frankness, he said taxes ought to stay high while money is easy, and that in terest rates are just what they should be. Education Needed About inflation, be was not posi tive. He said “I don’t know. There are so many uncertain factors in volved that it is very complicated. If OPA is not restored, I don’t know W hat will happen.” Pointing out that OPA had been failing anyway, that it had been granting higher prices almost daily before its June 30 expiration, and seemed hopelessly lost, I asked for another opinion. My question was: “Assuming the OPA to be gone for good, what do you think about inflation?" His reply was music to my ears. He said “There’s only one alternative —education of the public. 1 We can readily prevent inflation and attain sound prosperity if we will all do the right things.” He is right! No republic can live long if the public is not well enough educated to do the right things. Boost die Program When our people must be regi mented into doing the right things, our coimtry will be a republic no longer. lHiousands will want to compliment the Secretary upon be ing ready with something better than an alternative for OPA, far better than price-fixing by law.

LOOKING AHEAD n GEORGE & BENSON PtttU tK t-H atihtg CtUut S ttttg. JittiK tai Hold the Line The Office of Price Admlniatra- tion died oflloiaWy on June 30, 1946. Before it had been inoperative ten 'days, everybody whose life and work were affected by it knew the nation had sustained no serious loss. Calamities that were supposed to fall upon the consumers at Amer ica did not happen. Some prices rose a little; others fell. The law of supply and demand was still working. It had not been on vaca tion. In tha building industries, among real estate and lumber people, tim id home seekers had predicted the wildest of run-away prices because of the unprecedented housing de mand. Everything necessary to make prices sky-rocket was pres ent, but the crepe-hangers were dis appointed. Industrial leaders went into huddles and resolved for mod-, eration, regardless of pressure from eager buyers. Returned to Life The dead bureau was resurrected on July 25 by political pressure. One powerful factor was the Influence of thousands of bureaucrats whose easy jobs were all but lost. Lame and weakened by legislative modi fications,, the OPA lives and has cer tain functions. But those 25 inactive days proved something: The long er we lived without the OPA the more useless it appeared. Individuals who want to stay in government, whether they serve any. useful purpose there or not, m?y be expected to keep on trying, during the next few months, to justify a supposed necessity for government al price-fixing. In reality, increas ing production -may be depended upon to hold most prices down. Prices of some things will advance in spite at anything the OPA can do. Look for Advances In subsidized industries, where sharp advances were expected at first, operators are using modera tion in making upward revisions. While industrial leader? “hold the price line,” channels of trade are filling up steadily with new pro duction and growing stocks i hold prices down. Meat is only an ex ample. Livestock hurries to mar ket. Steaks and chops are on the menu again. There will be exceptions! It is likely that the human race will never be free from opportunists ready to profiteer when there are no restraints and crafty enough to run black-markets when restric tions are in force. Maybe there actually wot an unhappy couple in California on July 2, whose sand wiches advanced in price Irom ISc to 40c while they were being toast ed. Anyway it was a good story. Good CitisenkMp We, tiie American people, are heirs of a dearly bought liberty. We have an opportunity to prove that we are worthy to inherit it. Wecan do this by a fair approach to every price problem. Whether we are manufacturers, marketers, or con sumers, we have a part to play. We do not need anyone to play the role of dictator. Truly no price was ever fixed successfully by statutory law. Consumers can keep prices right by shunning racketeers who play their customers for suckers, by pa tronizing .merchants who appreciate their confidence and by refusing to buy unnecessary things. We should be slow to retaliate against price rises that are needful. If workers, especially, will let growing production adjust prices More calling lor higher wages, it will go far toward hastening recovery Ior everybody.

C, Our articles, books, poems, songs and tracts are reaching many tbon. sands of people throughout the na. tion and the world. It bas been around forty years ago sirice' I star; ted writing for publication. Wany have been tbe publishers across the years that have used our produc tions in their publications. Waybe some publishers have used only one poem, or article, or sermon, while others have used them from time to time. Still others have given regulat space from week to week, or from rhonth to month. AU told, we have, and even now, are reach ing a mighty throng of people with the truth of God's holy Word, and as God gives it to us outside of His Word If we could see all the pieople in one congregation that have read our writing regularly, or at times, or some time in life, we would look upon a mighty sea of faces’. Out of this vast number we hope to meet a great host of our readers in heaven some happy day. Our sincere ’desire is to do all the good we can. The press gives us an opportunity to reach mankind that nothing else can. It <s true that we have preached to many tl ousands through the years from the puloit, but this is a mere frac tion compared to the number who have read our writing^ We have endeavored to use the opportunity God bas given us as a writer in a way that we can have a clear con. science and a good record when we come to meet Him. Naturally our writing has been done free of charge, as religious publications rarielv pay for tbe material they use. Then tbe newspapers we have contributed to have never paid us We do not ask them to. If we had writtep for some publications, and written jnst ths material they wan* ted for their columns, they might have paid us good money. But my policy has been to write God’s truth without price, rather than write sometbiug that would displease God and receive pay for it. It is true that our readers, more o.r less, have contributed toward our support through Ihe years. This is especially true of cur Quiet Corner readersof the Union Re publican In fact very few read ers outside those who read the Union Republican have ever stood by us financially. We sincerely believe God opened the way for us through the Union Republican to reach a mighty host of people He hds never, done througq any other newspaper We thank and praise Him. for it. We likewise be Iieve He provided a way for us fi nancially through this paper tbrou this paper as He never did tbroti any other publication With wbat free-will offerings we have received from the Union Republican, and what our readers have contributed through the years, we have been enabled to meet our expense ol writing and publishing principally, likewise we have been enabled to raceive from this source much of our living expenses 'Everything that comes to us seems to be given so freely. ■ A- few faithful people have stood y us with their means and prayers for years and years. They never tail Thank- God for people who love the truth, and will pray for those who write and preach t, and give of ibeir means to help support them They shall have a great part in the wonderful reward some wonderful and glorious day Tbat readers and puolishers ap preciate o u r’ writing is certain. Here are some quotations: ‘‘I have memorized your poept entitled ’A Heart,’ and like it so well.

What Does The Job Pay What does the job pay? Yes, that is an important question in this day when living costs are high and wages do not keep in pace with the rise. And with this question in mind let’s look at tbe pay of tbe man in the Army as compared to tbe civilian worker. Let us compare tha pay of a soldier with that of the average civilian, worker. Department of Laborfiguras show that the aver age annual wage during 1 945 in A- merican manufacturing industries was $2,3 0 0 . That’s about $ 1 9 1 a month. But an Army private with hts $ 7 5 cash base pay actually- will have more money left at tbe end of a month than the civilian. Let’s look ' at tbe comparative figure and see what the record shows. Expenses; Civilian Worker Army Private Lodgiog $30.00 $00.00 Meals 50.00 0000 Clothes . 15 00 00.00 Medical and Dental Care 5.00 00.00 Insurance 1000 6.50 IncomeTax 2200 00.00 Transportation 6.00 00.00 Laundry, smokes. barber 1500 , 1000 Incidentals 10.00 10.00 $163.00 $26.50 Out of his $19 1 0 0 pay the civi lian has $2 8 .0 0 remaining.

Senator Robert Taft of Ohio; form er Goveroor Harold Stasseh of Minnesota; Governor .

He may confer with Democratic party leaders after his return this weak from a Bermuda vacation. His advisors on Capitol Hill arc urging him to stick to radio talks and letters to support. They frown on a speaking tour. Mr. Truman has confined himself pretty much to tbe policy they prefer in the two cases wbete he actively entered pri inary campaigns.

CAKUV THB fC sASTHAT 35* &$1.0 0 l Ar , Druqqistsl UStOttycAHS Well, the summer’s about over, with late fruits peeping through the leaves in the orchard, and the last of the sea son’s vegetables pushing up through the earth, I am assum ing you have m ost of your canning done, but there are some things that cannot be canned until late. That time will soon arrive, so be prepared! Sometimes it is the things canned last that are the sweetest and best turned out. That may be because we’re in practice, but perhaps, too, it’s because things like pears and grapes are in season, and the fam ily likes end-of-the garden pickles best of all. Look over what you’ve canned during the summer before winding up with a final session of canning and try to balance the canning cup board and fill in spaces with the foods you need. Our recipes today are of a variety to help you do just that. F ear Butter. Wash pears, but do not peel. Slice and add a small amount of water to start cooking. Cook until soft, then press through a colander. To each cup of pulp, add % cup sugar, and a few spices, if desired. Cook to a paste,, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Pour into sterile jars and seal at once. You know fruit butters will spread a lot of slices of bread this winter and put a damper on that rifling of the cookie jar. Here’s how it’s done with apples: Spiced Apple Butter. 4 gallons prepared apples I gallon sweet eider 4 pints sugar I teaspoon allspice I teaspoon cinnamon Pare, core and slice apples; Boil cider until reduced by one-half. Add apples to cider while boiling and cook slowly until the fruit is soft. P ress through a sieve and then re turn to fire and continue cooking, ____ stirring frequently to prevent burn ing. When the fruit begins to thick en,' add sugar andspices. Cook un til smooth and thick. Pour into sterile jars and seal while hot. End-of-the-Garden Pickles. I cup sliced cucum bers I cup chopped sweet peppers I cup chopped cabbage I cup sliced onions I cup chopped green tomatoes I cup ehopped carrots 1 cup green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces 2 tablespoons m ustard , seed I tablespoon celery seed 1 cup ehopped celery Z cups vinegar 2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons turm erie LYNN SAYS: Making Good Jelly: To extract the juice' from fruits aid berries so that it is clear, use several thicknesses of cheesecloth or some flannel. A wire mesh strainer may be used to hold the cloth. The bag should never be squeezed or the jelly will' be cloudy. The best jellies are'm ade in small batches so that cooking time can remain short. For fruits rich in pectin (jell ing quality), use % to I cup of sugar for each cup of juice. The pectin content of fruits is highest when they are just bare ly fipe. A combination of under ripe and over-ripe fruit will make a satisfactory combination for flavor and •. pectin require ments. LYNN CHAMBER’S MENUS StiffFed Pork Moulder Slivered Carrots and Onions Green Beans Mashed Potatoes Gravy Garden Salad Biscuits with Honey Plum Cobbler Beverage Soak .cucumbers, peppers, cab bage, onions and tomatoes in salt water (% cup salt to 2 quarts wa ter) overnight. Drain. Cook the car rots and string beans in boiling wa ter until tender. Drain well. Mix soaked and cooked vegetables with remaining ingredients and boil for 10 minutes. Pack into sterile jars and seal. Two preserved fruits that are both piquant and satisfying are Grape Gumbo and Peach and Ap ple Conserve. Here are preserves that will add that magic touch to the meat course during winter: Grape Gumbo. 4 pounds seeded grapes I orange, thinly sliced H pound seeded raisins 4 cups sugar Cook all of the ingredients until the mixture is of the consistency of marmalade. Pour into sterilized jars and seal at once. Conserve needs . stirring and watching so that it does not stick. Do not cook too long or these deli cate fruits will lose their color. Peach and Cantaloupe Conserve. 1 pint diced peaches Ip in td iced can talo u p e 2 lemons, juice and grated rind 3 cups sugar H cup walnuts, blanched and chopped Combine ingredients with the ex ception of nutmeats. Cook until mix ture is thick and clear. Add nut meats and pour into sterile jars. Seal while hot Both plums and apples are late- in-the-season fruits, yet they make delicious jelly if you still have enough of your sugar ration left. Crab Apple Jelly. Select sound crab,apples. Wash and remove blossoms. Cut into quarters - without peeling. ^ Barely cover with water an d boil until fruit is tender. Strain the juice through • a jelly bag. Measure and bring juice to a boil. Add % cupof sugar to each cup of juice and boil rapidly to jelly stage. Pour into sterilized jelly glasses and seal -im mediately. Plum Jelly. W ashplum sandcoverw ithcold water. Boil until plums are !quite soft. Press juice through jelly bag,. strain and measure. Bring juice to a boil and add one cup of sugar for each cup of juice. Boil ’rapidly to jelly stage, then pour inttr sterile glasses and seal at once, Plum and Orange Jelly. 5 pounds plum s, cut up v 6 oranges I lemon sugar Wash plums, cover with cold wa ter and bring to a boil. Add oranges andlemon and cook until plums are soft. Drain in jelly bag. Boil ex tracted juice 15 minutes and to ev ery 4 cups ot juice, add ,3 cups sugar. Boil rapidly to jelly stage. Pour into sterile glasses and seatWhen you rout out all the jars and caps that seem likely prospects fo> your-home canning, or jars and caps to share with neighbors, you can set aside at once some, kinds that won’t do. Into the discard group go jars and caps that have.any crack, nick, dent, or any other defect that would keep a jar from sealing air tight. And tot aside, Joo, odd shaped and very small jars. They can be used for preserves or other purposes where a paraffin seal is adequate. Iftleased by Western Newspaper Union.

OndheeFtum Trmmng One year after V-J Day saw 1,250,000 veterans of World War II enrolled in some form of education' or training under the two laws providing such facilities for war vet erans. According to Gen. Omar N. Brad ley, VA director, the greatest prob lem facing Ifae G.I. educational and training program is that of the col leges in securing teachers and in providing classrooms and living quarters for this tremendous influx of students. General Bradley pre dicted Ifaat in the next year this fig ure would be doubled. One of the newer forms of edu cation is on-tfae-farm training, com bining class work with practical su pervised farming. To supplement the educational program, VA has prevailed upon the army, and navy for release of more than 2,000,090 text books for veterans studying un der Public Law 16 and the G.T. BilL General Bradley expressed con cern over failure of the veterans to take advantage of their govern ment insurance. Less than one out of four veterans have premiums up- to-date on government insurance and almost 10,000,000 eligible vet erans are now without National Service Life insurance, while origi nally 95 per cent of them carried the insurance when they were in the armed services. In other words, 90 billion dollars worth Of economic security has been permitted to lapse. One of the important objec tives of VA during the coming year will be help to veterans in re instating their insurance. QueMons and Answers Q. My husband joined the arm y April I, 1946. We have two chil dren, fw o and four years of age. Also a good farm , cows, m ules, hogs ana chickens. I m ust care for all of these things. We got the farm worked this year by m y helping to do m uch of the work, which I was unable to do. My health Is not good. I am 26 years old and he is 29, will ho 30 In February. I have no one to stay with m e except his 70-year- old m other. He wants to get out of the arm y and work his farm next year. Is there any chance? Please help m e.—M rs. D. W. T ., Moulton, Ala. A. He Should have no trouble^ ob taining his discharge since he is a father. Suggest he contact his com manding officer and apply for his discharge. ( Q. During .30 m ouths of arm y service I sent my parents an allot m ent every m onth. Now m y par ents are dead. Can I collect the am ount I sent them from their es tate when sold?—C. W. J ., Green Pond, Ala. A. This is a legal question and you should consult a lawyer. QiIaaa widow with one son who is now 16 years- old, an aged father-in-law, aged 82, and another son serving overseas. I get a fam ily allowance which is insufficient to supply the needs of oar house hold and the stock, etc. Living ex penses have risen, as you know. Would I be perm itted to take a job to supplement the fam ily allowance and still be entitled to it?—M rs. M. A. M., Dana, N. C. A. There is no reason Why you shouldn’t take a job. Q. Can you tell m e where the 383rd Infantry is now? Are they dis charged? They trained in Camp W hite, O re., and later went to San Luis Obispo, Calif., and were shipped to the Pacific.—M. P ., Wood, Calif. A. The army says the 383rd In-' fantry was inactivated February 3, 1946. Q. I w as discharged with a med ical disability from the navy in W orld W ar I with tuberculosis and am unable to do m anual labor, Can you help m e In any way? A. You Should apply to your near est office of the Veterans’ adminis tration and ask for a disability rating. If your illness was the result of your navy service it would be a service-connected disability, but even if it is hot service-connect ed, you likely would be entitled to a disability pension. Q.

Chester Nimitz, hero of the Pacific and one of the most efficient leaders of the navy, has indicated to friends that he will retire as chief of naval operations after about one year of his four-year appointment. Backstage reason is that Nimitz Bnds his job chiefly requires lobby ing naval appropriations through congress, and he would much rath er be at sea than playihg politics. Furthermore, Washington society is running him ragged. Mrs. Nimitz doesn’t feel the same way at all about Washington society—which perhaps is one reason why the admiral wants to get oat of the capital. He hates dinners, loathes cock tail parties and feels ill-at-ease at receptions. But Mrs. Nim itz loves them and insists on dragging her husband along when she makes the rounds. . Bigors of war in the Pacific now .,.have begun, to look like heaven in contrast with social Washington and when the right' time conies next year, the admiral plans quietly to pull out 5 .';Noter-Graiidson of a Texas hotel* > keeper; Admiral Nimitz hopes to retire to Texas or the California coast. * * * PRESIDENTIAL SEASICKNESS Those who'suffer from stomach maladjustments when they travel by 6ea or air will be glad to know that President Truman not only sympa thises with them but also has lound a fairly good remedy for sea sickness. The cure is not 100 per cent effective, however,- arid that is one reason the President’s yacht turned' south. Mr. Truman had a bottle of sea sickness pills with him on his recent ; cruise—a remedy concocted by the Canadiato army for use by its troops when they crossed the Atlantic or went ashore in tank landing barges. It is supposed to be the best thing so far developed to cure seasick- . oess. The President always carries a bottle with him when afloat and eats the pellets almost as if they were candy. On his first important sea trip aboard the cruiser Augusta to Potsdam one year ago, he took this medicine along and apparently avoided seasickness. However, Mt. Truman, bom and raised on the Midwest prairies, doesn’t get the same kick out of the sea as did F.D.R. • * * HCSHEO-CP in c id e n t Tenseness of the Russo-American situation in southeast Europe is il lustrated by an incident in Austria so far hushed up by the censors. For some time, the Soviet gov ernment has been pressing Gen. Mark1Clark to permit cross-exam ination .of Yugoslav, Baltic and oth er displaced persons in Austria. ■ Many of them rebelled against go ing back to their homelands for fear of Soviet reprisals, but some were willing to go. Finally General Clark agreed that the Soviet could send in 12 men to ask them questions. While the Soviet team was at work with Hie displaced persons, General Clark was getting secret information from one of the D.P.s as to what was going on. Eventual ly this informant reported to Clark that he was under Soviet scrutiny. So Clark secretly placed an American machine gun in a room above the informant’s and another machine gun on' the roof of the building opposite.. A night or two later, a squad of Russians drove up to the inform ant’s home, knocked down Ius door and carried him out in the street. Immediately the U. S. troops turned on their searchlights and arrested the Russians. Here was the pay-off. Our allies, the Russians, were dressed in the uniforms of American military po lice.• • • TRIGGER-HAPPY TITO The question of using “horse-and- buggy” tactics to calm Dictator Tito of Yugoslavia, especially Uie navy’s dispatch of cruisers to Tries te, has been criticized privately in side the U.-S. armed forces. U. S. warships at the head of the Adriatic, according to army men,’ could be caught in a trap and might be sunk with one bomb. Further more, the cost of- operating one cruiser in contrast to an airplane is tremendous. Therefore, U. S. army, command ers in Europe have proposed that we send one or two M 9s over Yugo slavia to see what Tito's trigger- happy warriors do about it. * * * ELDER STATESMAN BARCCH Kindly elder statesman Bemie Baruch has made a private propo sition to the state department that he be allowed to read its secret cables from diplomatic 'posts throughout the world. These are a- gold mine of information for which any business man or banker would give his eye-teeth. Barucli prom ised, a little naively, that if he was given the daily secret intelligence summary of world affairs, he would ,. stow them only to his. two invest inent-banker assistants. * m , FLEET GOES ANYWHERE . . .

"Production line troubles,” said Kieran—presto, like that!—“Africa hasn’t reconverted yet at all. It’s the old story of supply and de mand.” “What, no OPA in the bush or at the waterhole?” we asked. “They sent some OPA fellows into the lion country to study the situa tion, but nothing further was heard from them,” he replied. “A lion can resent that sort of thing,” we suggested. “You just try to put a ceiling on one,” said the Sage of the Airwaves. “Once when I was on a safari I encountered. . . .” “But what about elephants?” we interrupted. , “What about ’em?” he repeat ed. “Why should it be hard to get a good elephant now that the controls are off?” "An elephant with his controls off Is- harder to get than any other kind,” he said. “In 1927 I was bicycling through India when I en countered—” ( “What will happen to American economy if it can’t get elephants?” we put in. “Oh, the GOP can’t get back any how, I fear," he replied, “I remem ber one night encountering. . . ♦ “Have yon .been able to get any wildcats lately?” we asked. "No, but a friend of mine got one." “How?” “He says it was in a hamburger.” *_ "What do you hear about black panthers?” we asked. “You can get ’em, but not in col ors. Black is as hard to find as white.” “What do you think about the wild animal market for "the next few months?” we inquired. ; “I dunno. There may be a big animal backlog, but on the other hand it may all be due to a slow up on the production line.” * “Do you suspect anybody is hold ing back wild apimals?” “Not the really wild ones.” “Is there anything in the story a scientist is making a rhinoceros out of the soybean?” “I consider that as unlikely as the plastic hippopotamus.'* . “Any chance to get a porcupine in the pnesent situation?” ,. “Only with points.”. *_ Kieran was pretty depressed. He suggested sending some fact-finding board into the jungle. The deep jungle. By night. Blindfolded. And with no weapons. Good here! * * * ITe understand Byrna and Molotov made a big error at Paris. They went into action without sending mine-finders ahead. * Channing Pollock is dead. One of the first of our assignments as a cub reporter back home was to go to the old New Haven house at Col lege and Chapel street and inter view Pollock. He was there for the opening of one of his early plays, “Such a U ttle Queen.” Somebody had broken into his room at the hotel and taken a pair of his pants, including a roll of money, as we recall it. Pollock, the papers say, wrote a drama called “The Pit.” Jt this w as. a' dramatization of a Nprris novel with Wilton Lackaye in. the leading role, then we were in it.

CHAPTER XVI “There’s a short cut through the woods, and it isn’t far. I got my sister to bed and to sleep. As I’ve already told you, Tom was out of the house. I found Mrs. Stevenson was not alone. I waited—” “She wasn’t alone?” Bob jerked her up sharply. Miss Martha shook her head. “Mr. MacTavish was with her,” she said, and now Megan held her breath and her teeth were clenched. “He left a few minutes after I got there. They had been quarreling. I could only hear a word or two, but I coidd tell, just looking in at the window, that Mr. MacTavish was very angry and that Mrs. Stevenson was laughing at him." Megan could see the picture as though she herself had stood outside that window, and it made her shud der. Yet here was the thing that had worried Her father—an alibi. She drew a breath, of sharp relief. “I waited until he had gone,” Miss Martha went on wearily. “Then I knocked and she opened the door. She was surprised to see me, end not very—pleasant I tried to tell her why I had come, but she only laughed. She said that there must be a lot of truth in the stories about Tom and Miss MacTavish or he.and I would not have been so alarmed— and she added that she knew that Letty was—out of her mind—and that she was a menace to the neigh borhood. She said she intended to start a movement to have her—com mitted—” Her voice broke, and aft er a superhuman effort at control, she > said thinly, “And so—I killed her.” It Was once more Bob who broke the tense, breathless pause. He still sat on the corner of the desk, and he scrubbed out the glowing tip of his cigarette sfs he spoke, his eyes on the crushed cigarette in the old glass ashtray, his voice very quiet and gentle, “The truth is, Miss Evans, that you spoke to Mrs. Ste venson, and she answered you about as you have said. You did not kill her—but when you turned to leave the house, you were astounded to see your sister in the doorway behind you, and realized that she had fol lowed you. And it was, in reality, your sister, not you, who killed Mrs. Stevenson.” Bob sighed. He ran his bands through his hair and stood up, white and tired, haggard almost, as though the long scene had been almost as much of an ordeal for him as for the broken, suddenly old woman be fore them. “But how could you possibly know—” Megan demanded of Bob. It was late in the .afternoon of an extremely hectic day after all the loose ends and the final details of the tragic story had been cleared up. Miss Martha and Tom had departed on their sad errand of "tak ing Letty home” to lay beside the little son who had never .lived. Megan had asked Bob and Lau rence to stay for supper and they had accepted gratefully. And now they were in the living room, with Jim listening and looking on, with- drawn and pale, but genial and pleasant when spoken to. “I 'didn’t know, of course,” Bob answered frankly. “It was just that —well, call it a hunch, what you will. Only I kept hearing something in Miss Martha’s words that didn’t quite ring true. What'she was say ing would be completely sincere and convincing. Then something would creep into the story, nothing I could set my finger on, but it was there and I could-sense it. Especiallythat very elaborate ruse of hiding the knife. If it had really been a knife out of the kitchen of her own home, she might have hidden it very care fully about the house. But to get herself up like a particularly terri fying ghost and go sneaking out into the night to hide it in the one place ahe felt sure would never be found- well, that had me puzzled.” "I thought of that, too, of course,” Laurence contributed.' “Then when she began to talk about going to' Mrs. Stevenson’s— remember she mentioned the short cut through the woods? YetiShe had been at- some pains to assure us that her sister’s strength' was not sufficient for her to walk to the Ste venson place. But if there was a short cut through the woods, and if her sister, in one of her periods of lucidity, had followed her and over heard her quarrel with the Steven son woman,, and the sister had been frightened, excited, as she most cer tainly would have been—do you see? The pattern is the sister doing the deed—not Miss’ Martha. I saw it suddenly, and—well, you know what happened.” M eganslippedaw aytoofferher services to Aiinie in finishing ,up supper, but Annie said, “No’m, honey, 1’s got eve’ything undehi control— y’all go out . and git yo’se’f a Iil bits o’ fresh air, ’fo’ suppeh.”And gratefully, Megan obeyed her. It was already dusk, though not yet dark' enough to obscure the vision. She crossed the backyard to a big old rough bench beneath a live oak tree and sat- down, her head back, breathing deep of the' crisp night air. The night was very still, save for the faint shouts of children playing somewhere along the highway; be hind her in the barn she heard the rustling of the cows as they settled themselves down for the night. The whole scene was quiet and calm and peaceful. So peaceful that it was hard to believe the Horror and trag edy and terror that had gripped the place so short a time before. She couldn’t bear to think of Tom any more. She wouldn’t let herself, The glimmer of her light-colored frock through the dusk led him to her. and she was glad when she saw Laurence coming towards her across the dusky dooryard. The glimmer of her light-colored frock through the dusk'led him to -her. He called her name uncertain ly, and when she answered him he came on to her, something dark in bis hands. “Your scarf,” he said. “Annie felt you might patch cold out here— she said supper would be ready in ten or fifteen minutes.” Megan started to rise, but he put his hand on her shoulder and pressed her back on the bench.' Megan relaxed a little. He lit a cigarette and they sat for a little companionably in silence. - “It’s all like a terrible dream," she said huskily, and Latnrence nod ded. ■ “But you’ve waked up now, Me gan, and sensible people don’t brood over bad dreams or let them affect their future ' lives!” he reminded her almost sternly.' “There is one thing out of the bad dream that you can remember, though—Fallon is free. After a decent interval of time—” She shivered and said impulsive ly, “I don’t feel I could ever bear to—see him again.”. Latnence turned on her sharply,- angrily. “Now you’re talking like a fool!” he told her violently. “Just because p man has gone through helL-and a hell that was no fault of his own— no woman with a decent instinct to her name can throw him aside!" Megan caught her breath and looked at him in surprise. “I didift mean that—after all, aren’t you taking rather a lot for granted?” she protested heatedly. “Tom Fallon and I were—friends ” - “Tom Fallen was—and is—in love with you, and you know it,” Lau rence told her bluntly. “Even if I hadn't known it, the way he looked at you when he said good-by—and besides, have you forgotten that you told me ydurself you were in love with him?” “I—I guess I am,” she admitted humbly. “You guess you- are!” Laurence was caustic.- ' - “Well, what I meant was—I’m all mixed up. and confused—it’s been so horrible—” she stammered faintly. “That’s u n d e rs ta n d a b le — ” Lau re n c e c o n c e d e d g r u d g in g ly . “But a fte r a w h ile , y o u ’ l l pull y o F rrs e lf to g e th e r a n d b e a b le to s e e d e a r ly — a n d in a year o r s o — ” ^ Annie’s voice from the kitchen door,- that spilled an oblong of gold en-amber light into the backward, was the most welcome sound Megan had ever heard in all her life, and .she rose so swiftly that Laurence’s mouth tightened a little and his eyes were cold and hard as he .followed her across the'yard to the kitchen ' apd into, the dining room. 'Healthily tired at the end of the ■ day,. sleeping soundly at night, Me gan discovered, as week followed week, that the memory of those dark,- evil days when Alicia Steven son’s malicious tongue had wagged so freely, was growing fainter. And she realized that Pleasant Grove, as a community, was also recovering from the darkness, when Alicia’s' tongue had set old friends to eyeing'each other with more or less veiled suspicion. Other farm families were .finding release from dark memories in .the ever new, yet age-old miracle of the dark earth, the tiny seeds, the new, tender green sprouts that meant life and hope and the future.. She was touched-and grateful to Jim for ,his honest, if bungling attempts to help her. She tried not to> let him know that his hands were clumsy with' the delicate, fragile plants that he tried to pack. She knew he was bored, and that he resented the hard, back-breaking la bor that it takes to run a farm ef fectively. ' He came back from Meadrtrsville late cne afternoon, his eyes shinipg with excitement, obviously with news that he considered of great importance. It was already dusk, and the dark ness had driven Msgan in from the fields. She had shed her earth- stained dungarees, had a shower and was dressed for supper, busy in the kitchen helping'Annie -with the last duties of getting the meal on tho table, when Jim.came hurrying in. “The most marvelous thing has happened, Meggie—I’ve been offered a splendid opportunity!” “Tell me,” said Megan, eager and interested, loving him for the understanding she had acquired ot him since his moment of self-revelation after Alicia’s death. “Well, you know the county newspaper in Meadersville? The Senti nel?” demanded Jim, as eager and excited as a boy. “Dick Morgan pub lishes it. Well, Dick’s been.drafted and he wants me to take over until he comes back!” H bbeam ed-at her happily and Megan said quickly, “It is wonder ful, Dad—but—well, you’ve never had any newspaper experience—do you think—” Jim looked a little sulky. '“Oh, I know that, but after all, Dick feels that I have other qualifi cations,” he po&ted out. “And Mrs. Morgan will stay on as business manager and write the - woman’s page and all that. VShat I’ll have to do is write the editorials, and what news I can pick up. Mostly, right now, it comes from a wire' service, because about the only two things people are interested in are -the war and politics. And there’s a fellow in Washington who acts as correspondent for a lot of county newspapers, Dick’s paper among them. And Dick’s got three weeks before he reports for induction and he feels that in that length of time he can get me settled in, help me to learn the ropes and all that. Of course, the salary is really laugh able—hut I get a share of . the prof its and all ’that.” “It . is wonderful, Dad, and of course you can do it!” Megan as sured him, sincerely. “I’m terribly proud of you.” Jim looked at her oddly and then he asked, almost curiously: “Are you, Megan? Funny—I can’t remember when anybody ever said they were proud of me.” Megan felt a little quick mist of ‘tears in her eyes, but she knew this was no time for the display of pity that she felt for his humility—his tacit admission that he had always hungered for appreciation, even while he had admitted to: himself that he deserved no such apprecia tion. “But of course I’m proud of you, Dad—now you’ll get to make use of all that study and research yoii have done these last few years!” she told him happily. “I’ll bet there isn’t an other man in the whole county who has read as much, or studied as much, of current events as you have.” , • Then he said hesitantly, VQf course, Meggie, I know !'promised to help you with the farm this year —but I hate to turn down a chance lite this. A chance to—well, to be somebody I important, and to have people listen to my views.” “ Now don’t you , worry about the farm, or me,” Megan assured him firmly. Jim beamed at her‘happily, ob viously relieved.. He would ride to and from MeadersyiUe each day with three men from Pleasant Grove who “commuted” to Meadersville offices. - Tiie '. paper came off the press every Friday.

JESUS AND THE LAW OF THE STRANGER LESSON TEXT—E x o a u 22:21-23; Deuteronomy 21:14, IS; M atthew 23:34-41. MEMORY SELECTION—The King shall answ er and say unto them , VerDy I say unto you,' Inasm uch as ye have’ done It unto one of the least of these m y brethren, ye have done It unto m e.—M atthew 25:40. There is as much need today for the words of counsel and ad monition regarding strangers which we find in our lesson, as there was In the days of Moses, for there seems to be an almost complete breakdown of neighborliness both between nations and individuals. I. The Law Required Neighborli ness (Exod. 22:21-23; Deut. 24:14, 15). Our heavenly Father as revealed to us in his Word is a Father indeed, one greatly concerned about his many children; but especially does he care for those who are weak and needy. ' The laws of ancient Israel made provision for the feeding of those who had no fields. The corners uf the field were left uncut at harvest time, some of the grapes were to be left on the vine, etc., so that the poor could enjoy the sense of self- respect as they picked for them selves what God had provided (see Lev. 19:9, 10; 23:22; Deut.'24:19-21, and other passages). The poor man who fatad work was to receive his pay when need ed. For the one who hired him to do otherwise was to bring upon himself the judgment of God. He listens to the' cry of the hungry worker and his family (Deut. 24:15). Strangers were in a peculiar way subject to the possibility of extor tion. They are even today the easy mark of the one who lives by his wits, the “confidence” man and sneak thief. - - If any such person reads these notes let me warn him solemnly to keep his tricky hands off the stran ger, for God is watching and will hear their cry (Exod. 22:23). The same is true of widows and orphans. God is their keeper and their defender. , Someone may say that all this is Old Testament in its background and principle. What about the fol lower of Christ in our day? The an-MtfAP IS th flt * H. Christ Expects NeighborH- ness (Matt. 25:34-41). This is a prophetic picture of . a great judgment scene. It is not, as many shppose, the same as the judgment of the Great White Throne of Revelation 20. The scrtie here is not in heaven, but upon the earth.T t is not individ uals who are being judged, but the nations of the earth.' They are not being judged - regarding personal salvation, but for their treat ment of Christ’s brethren. Who are his brethren? First we think of his brethren,' after the flesh, the people, of the Jewirii rate. Scrip ture reveals again'and again that God is watching over his chosen people, even, though they .are now scattered in judgment for their un belief. He will not hold any guiltless who harm his people (Gen. 12:1-3). The word “brethren" is also used in such a passage as Matthew 12: 46-50 to include all who do the will of God. That suggests a broader ap plication of these words. \Our attitude toward God ex presses itself, in our attitude toward our. fellow man. That which we do toward) those about us is not a mat ter of'indifference, but is the basis for God’s judgment of our livek.. Each of us must\ answer for the deeds'done in the flesh whether they be good or evil. Tliat is true even of the believer (H Cor: 5:10), whose salvation has already been determined by his faith in Christ - Here in our lesson, however, the failure to do that which shows forth God’s law of love is made the ground of eternal judgment. This, is not because an act of kindness itself can be . regarded as the ground of division; but because tile failure to give it or do it reflects .an attitude of heart toward our God. and his'Christ which is in'reality a rejection of his way of salvation. Judgment , is thus a revelation of the attitude of the heart,, which marks a man oy woman as \being either saved or lost. It may be pos sible to so becloud the thinking of our friends and neighbors that, we may go through life looking some thing like a Christian,, but when Christ judges, it Will all be revealed. Notice the importance of a proper attitude toWard those who need our kindness and help. All too often the only concern of men and women is to look out for “number one” and let the rest of the world shift: for itself. .. Observe also that the Lord identi fies himself with his brethren— what is -done to ' and for them is counted: as done to and for .him. Compare the experience of Samuel (I Sam. 8:7) and of.Paid (Acts 9:5). Touch God’s people and you touch him. Fail them and you foil h im Serve them and you serve h im . G am ofT hought A NYBODY can become angry that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way— that is liot within everybody’s power, and is not easy.—Aris totle. .. *Progren without effort is impossi ble, Any number of persons ore anxious to reach the top—providing they can get there without climbing.

A tkttttt 1 Decisions - ■' Hen and nations gain or lose by the quality of decisions they make. !Founders of this remarkable repub lic made a wise decision long ago, -in favor of personal self-reliance land individual government. Amer ica is great today because so many ’smart people were left free to do as Imuch as they could, as well as Hiey knew how, and gain as much of a reward for themselves as they were able. Not all Americans are models of progress and success but they all have benefited more or less from the achievements of those who did have the immortal spark. Ton can't pick successful men before they try, but more men of outstanding talent are sure to come to light where everyone is allowed to do his best. A large number of thinkers at work always adds up to more for every body. Not Lack at AU People may orate about Amer ica’s greatness coming from her vast natural resources. The re sources exist all right but the red skins had them before Columbus came and didn’t know the use of a wheel. Some people boast of this nation’s blue-blood heritage. It was good. Our forebears, in large part, came from Europe. That was prob ably the smartest thing most of them ever did. America’s economic system is what made America great. It is a .system of liberty giving every man :the right to pick what he wants and ■go after it hammer-and-tongs, get it if he can and enjoy it to the extent of his capacity, so long as. it does not trespass the rights of some body else. It is a sprightly and dynamic economy, quickly adjust able to changing times and condi tions. What Developed? Limitless opportunity and keen competition have borne a rich har vest. Our farmers live better than file, peerage of some foreign lands. Our laborers have more than work ers elsewhere ever have had at any time. America has 7% of the world’s population and 80% at the world’s automobiles. We send more children to high school and college than all the rest of the world com bined. During the last two years of World War II, from a startled start in December, 1941, America made more war materials than all her al- lies-and her foes put together. An American carpenter can Ikqt more with his pay for a day’s work than any other carpenter anywhere—2H times as much as the carpenter in Germany or France. And the same goes in all trades; the butcher, the baker and the street-car conductor. How It Works Freedom of opportunity fires ev erybody to try; thus men of great genius come to light and the whole nation benefits. Then competition between men of special ability stim ulates them to zealous effort in turn ing out products of excellence at- fair prices to develop and hold prof itable markets. This enables Amer ica’s middle class to enjoy luxuries unknown to run-of-mine kings. Mass production for volume sales demands fine and expensive tools. Buying this machinery calls for cap ital investment — averaging $6,000 per industrial job in the United States. The thing that made Amer ica great was a decision to be free: Free to work, free to think, free to earn, free to save and free to in vest and make a profit. It is called Free Enterprise and it's too valu able to lose. Uncle Sam Says I doff my hat to labor, Labor Day, not only for doing a grand job for our country in time of war but for its good sense in continuing to invest Mrt of its earnings in I), S. Savings Bonds. Millions of my nieces and nephews discovered that ownership oftJ. 8. Savings Bonds is an easy, effective, profitable way to save Ior Oteir future. Savings Bonds are as American as Labor Day itself. Be in step with today’s parades of payroll Uvers. V. S.

Athuatt Hold the Line The Office of Price Administra tion died officially on June 30, 1946. Before it had been-inoperative ten days, everybody whose IUe and work were affected by it knew the nation had sustained no serious loss. Calamities that were supposed to fall upon the consumers of Amer ica did' not happen. Some prices rose a little; others fell. The law of supply and demand was still working. It had nbt been on vaca tion. In the building industries, among real estate and lumber people, tim id home seekers had predicted the wildest of run-away prices because of the unprecedented housing de mand. Everything necessary to lInake prices sky-rocket was pres ent, but the crepe-hangers were dis appointed. Industrial leaders went into huddles and resolved for mod eration, regardless of pressure from eager buyers. Retnrned to Ufe The dead bureau was resurrected on July 25 Iqr political pressure^ One powerful factor was the influence of thousands of bureaucrats whose easy jobs were all but lost. Iiame and weakened by legislative modi fications, the OPA lives and has cer tain functions. But those 25 inactive days proved something: The long er we lived without the OPA the more useless it appeared. Individuals who want to stay' In government, whether they serve any useful purpose there or not, may be expected to keep on trying, during the next few months, to justify a supposed necessity for government al price-fixing. In reality, increas ing production may be depended upon to hold most prices down. Prices of some things will advance in spite ofcanything the OPA can do. Look for Advances In subsidized industries, where sharp advances were expected at first, operators are using modera tion in making upward revisions. While industrial leaders “hold the price line/* channels of trade are filling up steadily with new pro duction and growing stocks hold prices down. Meat is only an ex ample. Livestock hurries to mar ket. Steaks and chops are on the menu again. There will be exceptions! ’ It is likely that the 'human race will never lye free from opportunists ready to profiteer when there are no restraints and crafty enough to run black-markets when restric tions are in force. Maybe there actually wo* an unhappy couple in California on July 2, whose sand wiches advanced in price from 15c to 40c while they were being toast ed. Anyway it was a good story. Good Citizenship We, the American people, are heirs of a dearly bought liberty. We have an opportunity to prove that we are worthy to inherit it. 'We can do this by a fair approach to every price problem. Whether' we are manufacturers, marketers, or con sumers, we have a part to play. We do not need-anyone to play the role ! of dictator. Truly no price was ever { fixed successfully by statutory law. Consumers can keep prices right ' by shunning racketeers who play : their customers for suckers, by pa tronizing merchants who appreciate their confidence and by refusing to buy unnecessary things. We should be slow to retaliate against price rises that are needful. If workers, . especially, will let growing produo. tion adjust prices before calling for higher wages, it will go far toward hastening recovery for everybody.

Vaccination Laws Mnst Ba Upheld Approlimauly 46 per cent of the young men In NorthXardlina had to be rejected by the draft Ixvirds during the late war because of physical unfitness. A survey of the small school children at this time reveals a similar prevalence of defects. . The State is now organizing Health groups to make a aerliras,' all-out eflort to correct this bad situation. Many of our physical handicaps stem f(mn childhood contageons diseases which can be prevented. N. C/ Statutee have some yean requited that’■ babies be im. monized-against diphtheria and whoop. Ing cough. The procedure is harmless. When properly carried out it is effective. In 1945 the State Legislature passed ,a law forbidding the enrollfhennt of children in our public schools wh6 have not been immunized against dipfhtheria and whooping cough.. and successfollv vaccinated against smallpox. The laws have been adequately promulgated. Theyhave been published and interpreted again and agaip, Tbe laws are-ftot being carried out bit it is no fault of 'the TMatrict Health De partment. 1dj194S the nurses and doctor visited all the.achooi* for the purpose of offering-free'protection to every small child Preschool clinics were extensively advertised and conducted on schedule for the benefit of-.gll children who were to be enrolled in the schools in 1946. Schools were visited two or more times for the convenience ofsthe folks throughout the conoty. BssidA this the Health Depart ment Clinlca h^ve been open regularly one day ifi everf'week. Parents have had over 11-2 years to comply with the !State law. A little more than half the citizens have complied with the law and they an clear. The balflnce. have hot complied?. They menace other* -' The law. is very clear. Children enter ing school for . the SiiK time this year should not have been enrolled unless spe> cificaUv'exempted It is tip to the'superintendent* of our public schools to see that teachereexclude all^rst grade enrol- IeeswhtThave not been immunized a-, gainst smallnox, diphtheria and whooping cough. Failure to do so is open arid flagrant violation of the N. C. law. As long as we take a weak-kneed attitude toward the laws enacted to cut down [the incidence cf disease, we will never overcome the 4 F problem. It is far cheaper to prevent defects in the first place than it is to get them corrected. Locking the stable door after the horse is gone is poor business. . - Kay Kyser has recently spoken in all parts of this stare in the interest of child health. So has Governor Cherry. ‘'The decay of old troes in the forest is one thing," says Mr. Kyser, "but when the young saplings begin to show the blight it is high time that we do something about it” ALFRED MORDECAI, M D.

Speaking before the Tupelo Ro tary Club, Rankin - declared him self confident that "if Russia had the atomic bomb it .would be used on America within 60 days. iuTbe tU ng for us to do is to back Jim w rB ytues in his strong stand agaifst Russia,” the Missis sippi Congsssman said. “ We.Woijjt bave war if we fol low this poH^y—keep everybody’s hands off the atomic bomb but ours.” ; “ Even Engjlifld would require five vears to nw kethe machinery .to make .the atomic bomb,” be said. ‘‘We already have the bombs and' a $2,000,000,000 factory to turn them out. i We are sitting on top of. the world :aod must keep the bomb to ourselves.” He said be was tired of UNRAa and, suggefftd that President Tru man *'c|{»n house IB’ Washington and drive from- office all not in sympathy with the American form of Government.” Republican Ticket F o r C o n g re ss: [J A M E S H .

Athtsat O n R e c o rd .. "Freedom is more honest than government and to much more pro ductive.” This proverb might be added appropriately and soon to the ever-growing lexicon of "immortal words."' It came’ from the lips of Ralph W. Gwinn of Bromniillet K. Y., toward the end of a speech he made in Congress, last April 16. She address was a review of 40 centuries of price fixing by governments. Down through the ages, Rep. Gwlnn traced the dismal trail of political price pegging from King Hammurabi of Babylon, who died 2,242 years before Christ, to our own Chester. Bowles. Each succes sive effort went to pot. The oldest pile of wreckage, marking a turn wdiere some self-confident ruler locked his economic steering wheel, was In ancient Babylon. ' . And Many Others . Babylon was not the last nor die worst. Another notable catastrophe took place about 900 years later as a result of the wage and price freez ing provisions of the Hittite Code. Popidar pressure, in Asia Mhior in fluenced this case, but served to prove how even the ancient rulers ran afoul of sorb' resentment against their impractical tfakerlng with freedom of private enterprise. France's egoistic Philip IV took prices In hand and created a.painful scarcity of bread and clothing six centuries before Hitler. Tluee or more English kings took ttirnk at issuing edicts against natural laws, bo less silly than Canute's ordering the tides not to come In. Without fail, price control systems have. Ikially:. created scarcity instead of improving production. The Emperor’s OPA . The congressm,an’s most colorful example was Rome. About SOO years before ,the birth of Christ, Eno- peror Diocletian set up a sort ot OPA for the whole Roman Empire. Propaganda went out first, In an ef fort to sell the. public on the idea that rulers were much smarter than mere people. After the, edicts-came a record-breaking swarm of minis ters and magistrates to enforce prices, Did .the whperor make his prices hold? He did notl He fixed a death penalty on people who bought or sold above the ceiling but Diocletian had. his little undercover problems like all the othprs who went In for governmental ndce manipulation. Npt many “offenders”' were executed. Magistrates took bribes, prices rose anyhow and overflowed Into black- markets without number. Taxes Climbed S ghet An interesting sidelight an' the Roman affair was that all U ids of building stopped, arts and sciences fell into decay to such an extent that people almost forgot about excel lence. - 'They fashioned and used makeshifts exclusively. Good crafts men went Jobless, big business men fled.into exile.and. WhhB business mein went bankrupt and hungry. And Rcnne felt ^ But- before the. final: collapse, be fore .the tramp of armed is heard in the streets, rulers, who* have ruined the wealth of their country and the prosperity of their subjects, run out of money them selves. A hungry and angry people chased Diocletian out of Rothe but his evil work was done^ Taxes were devastating until Rome was a ruin. History has not Ohe price-fixing plan fit to copy. bere or anywhere.
