It’s great to bare good common sense And use it as we should. And know that God will recom ponse When we’ve fought life's bottles well Tbougb some ou fields of battle fell Like.heroes of tbe past,' Thotigb some on fields of battle fell For orlucipals that last. ( Good common sense, when prac tlced right. And used from day to day. Will lead from things (bat curse and blight. And sins bring decay. To manhood noble, grand and dean And womanhood that’s fino, Thatt keeps us from' the low and tneen, And helps us rise and shine. .'Tis far from comman sense we know To start with habits bad, That multiply and grow and grow Until they run us tnad, "By wracking body, mind and soul T hat's precious to us all, And then come short of heaven’s goal . Wben comes the final cali ^ It’s common sense to walk with God, Vet noble and sublime, Tbe way of life that saints have trod . > That led from sin and crime. To all that’s great and grand and high.

Presiden tial candidate in 1936, gave bis party the following advice: ’’Taxes shouldn’t be reduced until a sound fiscal policy is enforced, balancing the budget and having funds to apply on the national debt.” Aftet that statement a reporter nsked him if he considered himself a iiossibie President candidate in 1948. That was a rather naive question. When a member of the, ’ out" party advocate continued high taxes in an election year, however sound the advice may be, that man ain’t running for any thing and probably never will. MethodisfA Ask Vote On Liquor Henderson—The North Carolina Methodist Conference has asked that tbe 1947 General Assembly authorize a State-wide referendum on the liquor issue . Tne temperance -board’s report also requested all pastors not to ap. point to official cburdh positions persons who drink advertise, manufacture, sell, advocate its use or in any other way seek to1 pro mote the liquor traffic. The re port was made by Mrs. B B. Slaughter of Naw Bern. Alarming Situation Newspapers are so fall’of statis tics of one kind' or another that we have come to regard them with very little feeling. For example. T. Boddie Ward, ^Commissioner of the State Depart ment of Motor . Vehicles, has an nounced that 87 persons were kill ed on the streets and highways of North Carolina during September That is bad. we say, and tnrn on to the comic page. B ntthese figures should stir a feeling of alarm within us. We .should realize that almost three people met death on our good roads on each of the thirty days in Sep tember. We should understand that although this is only five more than are shown by figures tor tbe corresponding month in 1945, it really indicates a 6 per cent in crease And anything save * de crease in such accidents is cause for alarm. We seem not to have learned..j» very much from the years of en forced decreased speed during tbe war, for Commissioner Ward as serts that “ speed is the main con tributing factor” in automobile fatalities. It is most significant that- in the report on October violations this number of speeding violations this year is only about two-thirds of the number for October last year (1,008 as against t,6 8 1). Yet the number of convictions for drunken driving were more tban etc able last year’s. AU drunken driving con. vic’ions totaled 772 Ia t mon’h as comnared with 3 4 0 for October of 1945 There Is hut one conclusion: Tbe drunken driver is the number one highway menace. Commisssioner Ward calls it “a horrible record a bout which something teal should be done toward those who ate con victed.’ ’ Tbe on N power his; de. partment has for correcting such an inexcusable situation is to revoke the license for one year which is mandatory and that, in his opin ion, is not enough, particularly a. mong repeaters., One'answer is certain and sterner Justice But another- is a change of attidute by all of us toward these attitude by all of us toward these highway gamblers and killers. If everyone knew that he wopld pro voke- severe ridicule rather than symnathy from his fellows if caught driving while under the influence of an intoxicant, fewer drinkers would take the chance.—Winston- Salem Journal_^_______ Watch Yadkin liberated in Yadkin county AithiU wound up at tbe next few weeks under tbe spon sorship of the County Wildlife Club, Allen Shore, club president, has'announced Mr .Shore said that hunter’s are being warned not to shoot the deer under a penalty of hravy fine Tbe deer were being obtained* from tbe State Department of Coaserva. tlon and Development, and eight already have been set free io -the county, be said.

In a speech at a Parents Insti- ,Ute In' New York, Mr Stassen challenged newspapers to publish on Page I the salaries of local tea chers alongside tbe salaries oaid bartenders und elevator operators. Promptlyaccepting the challenge The Christian Science Monitor pub lished these salaries for New York City. The contrast is amazing.

But is this fact surprising? The Civil W ar'or the War Between the States,' as you prefer, ended in April, 1865. This is 1946. Even the youngest “rookies” in th- con- federate Army at the time the con flict ended, say boys of 15, wou'd be 96 years old if living now The surprising thing, perhaps is that there are any men who actual. Iy saw combat action in the Civil W a' still living 81 years thereafter. But the fact that 109 are still Iiv- Tbe starting pav for teachers in ing has a significant hearing upon that city from kindergarten to grade |our present-dav preoccupation with 6 B Isflt .6 0 8; grade B to high school $2,0 4 0; high school, $2,148 The starting pay of bartenders in lowest grade bars is $2,6 0 0 R levator operators’ starting pay in apartments is $1,48 7 .2 0 to $1,732. 6 4 ; office buildings, $1,657 96 to £2,0 18 .0 6; lofts $1,569.80. Mr. StasseA gave figures to show that more than 40 ,0 0 0 teachers In 22 States receive, less than $60 0 a year, more tban 160.000 less than $1,200, and that 400,000, or almost half tbe total, are paid less than $1,630 a year. There is something radically wrong with our society when in America’s greatest city bartenders and elevator operators are paid bet ter salaries tban teachers. Certainly nobody will contend that tbe responsibilities oi these employees are compareble to those of teachers—Winston-Satem Jour nal. ADOther New Deal idea Goes Wroog Another New Deal, cooperative, socialist enterprise has silently fold ed. A llth a tisle ft for the tax payers of America to pay - the bill for tbe experiment. Tbe project we have in mind was organized in New fetsey as “Jer sey Homesteads,’’ and tbe com munitv was later named “ Roose velt, N. I.” It is stated that the cost to tbe taxpayers of. the experiment was $4 ,0 0 0 ,000. The project started back in the palmy days of the New Deal,, during the-first Roosevelt ad ministration. Approximately 200 modern flat topped homes were built at an estimated cost of $20,- 000 . each—that was a lot of money in 1934—and they are to be sold at prices ranging from $2 ,8 0 0 to $4'. 600. ’ When the project was launched it got a lot of publicity from the Approximately 150 deer will be JSew Dealers, its affairs are being a- great loss to the government. It was announced at tbe beginning that there would be a colony of garment workers in a self-supporting Community who would divide their, time - between garment-working and gardening. But the factory failed to show a profit, and in 1939 the government sold the garm ent' business to pri vate enterprise to cover ad vances of $200 ,0 0 0 . Later the cooperative idea vanished entirely when the government sotd the farms Live stock and equipment were auction ed off to satisfy a mongage of $123 0 0 0. The auction proceeds were a little over $34,0 0 0. Now the homes are to be sold and then the government will auc tion off the sewer and water sys tems. Socialism ■ doesn’t seem to, work, not even when backed by millions of the taxpayers money. TbereBave been manv socialistic experiments in the United States durt:-g the past two ceoturies, None of them has been successful H venthe New Deal easy money seems unable, to make them work: —Union Republican. issifes which have to do with the problems of World War II veterans. It is important for us to con-i- der with relatioo to veteran’s bene fits, especially pensions, e tc , the very strong possibility there will be many surviving veierans of World War II seventy-five and eighty years from now. It is also likely to lie true that as the veterans themselves begin to die out in ap. preciable numbers several decades from now the benefits granted to them will be extended in greater measure to tbeir widows and other dependents, as in tbe case of the veterans of other wars. This reminder is not raised in prejud-'ce against benefits for vet erans, but merely for tbe purpose of suggesting caution in the face of ambitious 0 r fantastic benefit schemes involving millions of ve. terans and their dependents. The veteraos are entitled to a square deal at the hands of a grateful re. public, but wbat tbe Government does for them should be governed by tbe realization that tbe program may have to be continued for up wards of a century, perhaps longer. — Winston-Salem Journal.

C. o r G fiM T L A N D M C E , 'T 'H E hot spot'of baseball in 1947 will be the Yankees—the Yank ees and Larry MacPhaiL For both are hot spots. Even with a team that finished third last season, the Yankees smashed all past at tendance records by an incredible mar gin. They were the first major league team in history to pass the two million mark with a lew hundred thou sand to spare. But what about 1947? The new man-' ager of the Yank ees, Bucky Harris, Bucky Harris is one of Uie best in baseball. His assistant is Charlie Dressen of the Dodgers, who, among the insiders, is given almost equal credit with Leo Durocher tor the remarkable showing of the Dodgers last season. Dressen is one of the most under rated men in baseball. He has proved in the past to be an able manager and he has proved with Brooklyn’s nimble Dodgers that he could slip into the second slot and still be a star. The combination of Harris and Dressen should give the Yankees ranking class at the top. Their next problem will be a ball club that can handle the Bed Sox-Tiger threat in 1947. MacPhaii is not the type to ac cept a third-place brand with what yon might call equanimity. Mac- Phatt is too fiery and keen a per sonage to accept the general verdict that it will take two or three years to bring the Yankees from the bar ren lands into the uplands, which they held and defended for so long a time. A team that has Robinson as catch er, plus an able infield—Heinrich at first, Stimweiss at second, Rizzuto at short and Brown at third—plus DiMaggio, Keller and others in the outfield; can’t go badly two years in a row." What about the pitching? One an swer is that Yankee pitching allowed fewer earned runs last season than \ any other club except the Cardinals. '' New men will be added and the present guess is that the Yankees' of 1947 will be a long leap beyond, the Yankees of 1946. Their hitless postwar dip should be over by now, especially with such normally good' hitters as DiMaggio, Rizzuto, Stira- weiss and Heinrich.• • • T h e A rm y -N a v y G am e Pomp and pageant still mean a / lot to this country. Army and Navy' at Philadelphia will be a sellout for 104.000 spectators, even if Army fig ures to win by 40 to 0. Which Army won’t do. While it appears as though there has never been an Army-Navy game that looked as one-sided, it must be remembered that Navy still has good football players. Navy has had a rough road this season, but so has Army. It will be different after 1946.. Navy next fall probably will return better material than Army will have. Navy is taking her postwar shel lacking now. Navy already is pass ing through her major depression. Army still has one to face, as far as anyone can see. Ikiy team that loses Blanchard, Davis, Foldberg, Poole, . Tucker, Fuson and Enos, with only two replacements left from the 1946 starting team, must stare into the • shadows for some time to eome. . Army-Navy games are always closer than they figure to be. A year ago, Army ran up 21 points against Navy in the early going.. Everyone looked for a 40 to 0 count. But after that first crash, Navy had the better of the argument in the last two periods. So thefe not only will be an Army- Navy game, but also 104,000 specta tors will be on hand to see it. And it can be a* much closer meeting than one might predict.* * * F o o tb a ll vs. B a seb a ll No matter how peaceful the skyline seems to be, there is always someone taking the joy out of life. Now an inquisitive correspondent wants to know which game draws the greater number of people—foot ball or baseball. He Mso asks for an exact check on this count. "' For one thing, baseball has a far longer season—five and a half months against two and a half months. For another thing there are dose to 200 football teams with varying degrees of real drawing power as compared to a consider able less number of baseball teams that can match this collection at the gate. Big league baseball last season drew close to 18 million customers through the turnstiles. The Yank ees drew well over'two million ad missions m 154 games. No college or pro football team can match this count in nine or~I0 games. Army, Notre Dame, Michigan, Navy, Pennsylvania and Ohio State are among the leaders this fall. They should average around 400,000 spec tators each. For example, Army drew 86,000 at Michigan, - 80,000 against Notre Dame, 75,000 against Pennsylvania, and will play before100.000 against Navy. # 1 2 M ^ > 5 I I * & w Serve Leftovers With an Eye to Color (See recipes below) Glamorizing Leftovers "Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we bever had to bother with leftovers,’’ I heard a, home maker say re cently. Well, left overs need'not be the PROBLEM w h ic h many women reg ard them, for they can really be made'interesting. As a matter of fact, many of my friends'welcome dinners made with leftovers because they take so' little time to prepare. , Never let the leftover problem get out of hand is my first bit of ad vice, however, for then food will spoil and will have to be thrown out. Plan in advance what will be left over and include it in the menu. This is . easy to do with roasts and even vegetables. • It’s an excellent idea to check the refrigerator systematically ev ery day so that no bit of food es capes notice. Combine several veg etables in one jar and toss them into a salad. Or, plan to cream them and serve with bacon on toast for lunch. After a bit of practice you will learn to think of food in this way and there will be no “left over problem.” Change the food to some extent when it is served a second or a third time, and it will become a sort of fascinating game to see just how much can be done .with left overs. Use a variety of seasonings and watch the family take an inT terest in the food. - Here are several suggestions on what to do with fowl: Chicken Chow Mein. ” ' (Serves 6) I cups cooked chicken 8 tablespoons fat B cups thinly sliced celery IH cnps sliced, peeledr onions H teaspoon pepper I No. 2 can mixed vegetables, ChI- ' nese style H-ounea can mushrooms 8 tablespoons cornstarch I tablespoons soy sauce Scallions I small can fried noodles Brown chicken slightly in fat.

Republiean Congress Faces Many Grave Problems 'T 'H E 'PEOPLE of oiu:. democracy A again have spoken at the polls, as is their sovereign right. And they spoke in no uncertain terms to the effect that they are fed up with shortages . . . with rules and regu lations . . . In short with the planned economy under which the nation has been living for the past 16 years. As a result of this mandate the next congress will be organized by the Repittilican majority, with Con gressman Joe Martin as speaker and very likely Senator Vandenburg of Michigan as president of the sen ate. When so organized, the 80th congress will move along just about as did the' 79th congress and the next two years probably will be a period of strife, stalemates and vetoes, this reporter predicts. As a result of the peoples’ vote, our domestic economy very likely will change, from a planned econ omy Into a tree economy or free enterprise, as some call it. Ih at word "free” is a magic word with the American people and the ; strange thing about the recent, elee- I tion is that for the first time to his- , tory the Americtoi people have voted I against the administration In power : despite the fact that employment is . at an. all-time pe^k and prosperity I in money and goods has set a new I all-time record. / Of course, Republican leaders here in WasMngton are enthusiastic and boastful. They are perhaps sin- -Cere in their promises of what they propose to do to alleviate any real or fancied-ills. On the other hand, the . Democrats, realizing their mis takes and their peculiar ineptness in conducting this campaign, are look ing askance at 1948. 'Protection o f Weak Now what will the ,people get in exchange for their votes on elec tion, day? The planned economy of Franldin D. Roosevelt came Into be ing back in 1933 and has spread into every area of the nation, and for four succeeding national elections the people approved. A majority approved of all the progressive measures and social reforms which have been written, into law. The basis of a planned economy is protec tion of the weak against the strong . . . the setting up of rules and regulations, with the government as the referee, for this protection. When the war came there were more rules and regulations to prevent inflation and :to hold down the-cost of liv ing-for the masses who bent , their backs to produce the food, the mate rial and the tools of war. But apparently, however prosper ous or protected, the American peo ple buck their backs at being told what to do and this past year has seen a chafing to throw off these re straints and let "free” enterprise take over. The great trouble with a free economy, as one government official put it, is that we revert to jungle law, for the law that might makes right governs free and un trammeled competition and the weak, the little fellow, is gobbled up or Is put out of business, no mat ter what field of endeavor.. It is a survival 61 the fittest. Republican leaders In the senate and house have declared, as have the southern Democrats who voted with them, that the only domestic economy which has ever worked in this country is the economy of free enterprise. Bnt has it? It has made some men very rich, it has estab lished Big Business, huge-corpora tions and monopolies, and if has brought about depressions and pan ics, booms and busts, periodically for the past 150 years . ... for the reason that-jungle law is opposed to moral law. A planned economy, however irksome it may seem, is based upon the moral law. It was a collapse of the free enterprise sys tem in 1929 wffieh brought' about the reforms of planned economy. It was interesting to note only very recently that the first to cry out and demand that the govern ment do something were Senator Thomas of Oklahoma and his south ern colleagues in the .dem ocratic party when the cotton market skid ded ^ sensationally alter govern ment controls wtoe taken off. Sena tor Thomas, Senator Ettendpr (La.), Senators Eastland and Bilbo (Miss.) and others Were among those most outspoken' against any government control of prices or commodities. Few Startling Change* Of course, everybody knows there is a presidential election cotping up in 1948. With this in mind, it ' is predicted that whatever curbs are I put upon labor unions will be lim ited; that congress will be unable to stop strikes ; thai it will soon weaken the President by immediately re voking the war power act; that the President...will use his veto to 'hold congress in. check; and that one ol the first dangers will be rapidly dropping farm prices with probably more expensive price supports.

One hundred and eighty I seven of these children were found 10 have physical defects, alth eghsome were of a minor nature Mich as dietary defic* ieoces and postural defects which can b e corrected in the school and home.

Six child* fan were mentally deficient Dr Hughes reports that the no opera, tlon of parents and.teachers was very eo- couraging, and he anticipate that many of IbetPbysical defects of ih*se children will be remedied. He emphasizes, how ever, that the health sta ;.s of the pupils exceeds their healthful Iivirg conditions In the schools. Ho makes a pl«-a tor im provement in these conditions- He states that practically all the rural Negroschools are dilapidat'd fram/ structures, lacking in adequate wa.tt*r supply and having, poor toilet facilities* Bi th natural and artiOcial lighting is poor and the seating arrangements are sotiquat* d. Hepoinls out that the Negro school buildings are not conducive to wholei-oms living. They arc far from a credit to a p*ogre*sive and great modern State 6uch us North Ortro ina. ALFRED MORDECAl, M.

OrdersYoursToday - Phone 116 THE DAyiE RECORD. MOCRSVILT.E, N. C. SM *, -GI D R t PROSPECTIVE POLICY WASHINGTON.—With RepubKcan leaders gathering in the capital to begin organizing their own G.O.P.- ruled congress for the first time in 16 years, here is a merry-go-round view of what the country can expect during the next two years: FOREIGN POUCV — On the sur face there WiU be no outward change. Later, however, important changes wiU become apparent. The British already are worried over our swing to the right. BCDGET-The three largest ex penditures of government are for army-navy, veterans and service on the national debt These can’t be pruned — unless the Repubhcans want to cut down the army and navy, which they are not likely to do. Easiest pruning ,job, therefore, is on foreign loans and relief. UNRRA will be the first to go. A 200 million doUar loan to Italy, planned by Truman, will be ditched next. Other loans to European and Latin American countries will be axed. This is where one change in foreign. policy comes in. The ItaUan loan was planned in or der to help struggling Italian '-democracy and prevent Italy’s swing to Russian Communism. M i M Republicans, many oi them still privately isolationist, will veto this. However, the end of several war time expenditures such as price sub sidies and service separation pay ments should permit balancing the budget. TAXES—Despite current talk of tax reKef for small wage earners, there will be only minor tax cuts.' One of two things will happen. Ei ther expenditures will be such as to forbid major tax reduction. Or a cut WiK -be made in the lower brack ets, after which G.O.P. congress- . men, pressured by higher-bracket groups, won’t be able to resist the temptation to get aboard file gravy train. If they add tax reduction for the higher brackets, it means that Truman will veto toe bill. TABIFFS — Midwest RepubKcans would like to go back to the old' Hoover high tariffs. Some of the eastern RepubKcans from manufac turing regions will go along with them. If they get going in earnest, however, there will be a stalemate. Truman will veto. LABOR—One RepubKcan faction favors immediate and outright re peal of the entire Wagner act. How ever, they know this would bring a veto and that the veto probably would be sustained. Another G.O.P. group wants to avoid antagonizing labor. Certain AFL leaders, espe cially John L. Lewis and BiU Hutch inson, carpenters’ boss, helped them win the election,, and they want to keep labor happy for 1948. Therefore, the foUowing compromise is probable: I. The Case bill will be passed once again, and this time will become law. Even if Truman vetoes, which is doubtful, south ern Democrats and the strong G.O.P. majority will be able to override the White House. 2. Senator BaU’s bill, putting labor unions under toe anti-trust laws, also will be adopted. IMMIGRATION—RepubUcans are traditionally hostile to immigration ~ and. minority groups, and the house immigration committee now is in herited by Rep. Noah Mason of Illi nois, well-known witch-hunter. Dis placed persons in Europe will get Uttle comfort from Mason. A re vived and stronger “Dies commit tee” can be expected—probably in both houses of congress. AGRICULTURE — No m ajor change in the farm program is in prospect for the next two years. However, you will hear the same cry. for parity prices on farm prod ucts. Co-ordination of all farm agencies will be demanded. i ECONOMIC OUTLOOK — Prices generally will rise during toe next six months, although not so rapidly, and with some commodities such as food and textiles dropping in toe winter. Food prices should slump after the Argentine and Australian crops are harvested in February. Clothing and furniture prices should come down soon, certainly after , Christmas. Autos ' will remain Lscarce for some time. |i Rent control wiU be dumped with in about six months, although toe RepubUcans wiU be too smart to re- peal.it outright. They wiU pass toe buck back to the individual states, which will mean the virtual end of rent controls, since state legislatures are notoriously susceptible to real- estate lobbies. That, in bfief, is the future G.O.P. congressional picture.* • • CAPITAL CHAFF The big brass of toe navy depart^ ment has been pleading with Adm W. M.-Miller, retired, now TWAvice president, to return to his old job as chief of public information But it’s no dice. MUler quit because of meddling advice from Vice Admiral Carpender, . . . Death in office is the only thing that has ever removed a president of the United States while serving his term. Andrew Johnson escaped impeachment by one vote in 1868, but no president has ever resigned. i L RODEO AT PENITENTIARY . . .V iew s of toerodeostaged lnthe Texas state penitentiary at Hunts- ville. Music was provided by women prisoners, who call themselves the "Goree Gals.” Bert Stondioeker and Ms trained mule were in the cast to provide laughs. Bert was released from the penitentiary toe next' day. Racing, roping s and wild mare milking contests all centribnted to make the rodeo a-success ful event. Profits go into a general Amd to provide for the rehabiUtation program. • > MMMtoeX ' jtInvinirJ CALIFORNIA WEATHER . . . When freak rains of torrential proportions hit Long Beach, Calif., during southern California’s stormy weather, the northern section of Long Beach was flooded with upwards of six inches of water. Here lifeguards use navy plane crash boat to evacuate inhabitants of a trailer park. ■I DISABLED VET RE-ENTERS ARMY . . . Pleas of a one-armed ex-soldier, M/Sgt. Rickard Montgomery, Pittsburgh, Pa., to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower for permission to resume his army service prompted toe army ehief of staff to welcome back into service thousands of disabled combat veterans for limited service. Maj. Gen. Edward F. Witsell, left, administered oath to Montgomery, right, as he was sworn into the army as toe first Msabled combat veteran, to re-enter toe service. . HOLY CARPET GOES TO MECCA . . . One of toe most picturesque of Moslem ceremonies, toe departure of toe Holy -Carpet for Mecca, took place in Cairo, Egypt, recently. Here is toe carpet,'loaded on a camel, just before toe departure. Every year the Egyptian govern ment sends to Arabia gifts wMch are to adorn Mecca’s shrines. Most important of - these is - toe .Holy Carpet, a huge black; brocade, embroidered with gold thread which is laid ever Ka’Aba. OLDEST HERO . . .

They are flashing the glad news that the war is well into the background and that once again some of., the worst things that can happen to you tan foe endured Without a bomb shel ter. It shows that England really is recovering faster than some of her affies. No jewelry ring has been an nounced in France y et Russia hasn’t been bothered by a cat burglar. Even in- America we are not yet ihg the big stolen-string-of-pearls. stage of recovery, but caught some where between the Miss America re newals and the price of Christmas liquor. -It’s nice to have Scotland Yard oack. If -seems such a long time iince it was found anywhere except >n radio programs.* ,_ With Scotland Yard intact and ’’Mister Inspector" on the job once more, the routine of happier years returns. We should not have to wait long now before hearing about the tailor who buried eight wives in an old well in Sussex and the profes sor of chemistry who amused tom- self by experiments with arsenic on housemaids.* But one thingvdisturbs Americans. We have supposed the British were saving as much trouble eating as we are. Yet the main objective on the crime wave there is a ruby, aot a lambchop; an emerald, not a hamburger.

S o T o u N e v e r S a w A l J o ls o n Al Jolson’s life story has been put on the screen. Al doesn’t appear to it. A young movie actor, Larry Parks, plays the role while Al’s voice is synchronized into the picture. Parks does a good job but there was only one Joteon and no imitator could ever -touch him although hundreds tried. Never to have seen .Iolson is to have missed one of the most electric personalities the stage ever knew. •_ He wasn’t just a comedian; he was a battery with a voice, an electric chargee with a human per sonality, a bolt of Kghtntog in black face. He was a thing of watts and amperage. No doctor ever took Jol son’s pulse; they took bis voltage. , . You felt Jolson’s presence while he was still in the wings and When- he swept onto the stage it was Kke seeing a four-ring circus break out of an egg. . . •__ He was. a great showman without seeming to be' a super comedian who never had to cram the' idea down your throat. Joteon al ways seemed to be having more fun than-the audience, vand it always seemed to us that he.played a 30th performance with all the vitality and sparkle of a first night.D_ You hummed the Jolson tunes as you filed out of the theater. You told bis stories for weeks. *. - What a man: And. come to think of it. he never boasted about the big salary he was getting, wrote a book or did/ a -column as a side line.

He needs me.” Dick remained on the deck, watching the tantalizing object with new interest. Rose suddenly came out of the cabin, and approached him in great agitation. Her eyes were glistening, and her whole face seemed aflame with some powerful emotion that transformed her into a radiant creature. “Dick,” she called eagerly before reaching his side. “Dick, it’s hap pened—the miracle! I can hardly believe it, but—” She stopped, trembling all over, her hands clasped in the attitude of prayer. He was by her side instant ly, more startled by her happiness than by any fear that he had seen written there before. “What is it, Rose?” he asked anx iously, catching one of her fluttering hands in both of his. “It’s .Father,” she breathed softly. “Is he—is he—dead?” The question came out before he had time to .think—abruptly, and without premeditation. “Dead!” she repeated, and then laughed softly. “Dead! No! He’s just come to life. He’s sane again, Dick. He knows me—remembers everything! He’s—he’s—” The tears bubbled from her eyes and rolled down her cheeks; but they were the tears of joy and relief and not of fear or desperation. Dick held one hand and supported her trembling form with an arm. “I’m silly!” she laughed hysteri cally, smiling through the tears. “But I can’t help itl And I don’t care! I can cry for happiness, can’t I?” He barely resisted the temptation to sweep her into his arms and kiss the pouting lips. “Come,” she added a moment lat er, clutching his arms. iiCodie and see the miracle.” .In the cabin Dick found a. much changed man lying on the bed where he had helped put him the night before. The feverish red had died out of the face, and the eyes, - inspecting him critically, were as sane as any man’s. Die blow of the Carib’s bludgeon had restored to Captain Bedford his reason. Rose had partly prepared him for meet ing Dick by explaining briefly the series of events that had taken place while his mind was under a cloud. He extended a hand suddenly, and said: “Ye’ve saved my little girl’s life, I understand. Then — then ye can count on me as an everlastin’ friend." “I don’t know what Rose’s been telling you, Captain, but Tll bet she never told/you how she saved my life. Let me tell you.” Die girl placed a hand before his lips, but he removed it, and went into details of their adventures that she had either omitted or slurred over. At the end, Captain Bedford sat up. “I reckon now,” he said, iiIto all cured. That little girl o’, mine’s just like—just like her mother.”“Then her mother must have been a wonder,” smiled Dick. - . “She was!” was the solemn re tort. CaptainBedford Takes Command Die captain struggled to his feet despite Rose’s protestations.- “No, I ain’t goih’ to lie here any more,” he added. “I gpt to get on deck, Ye’ve had enough on yer hands, daughter. Now it’s my turn. Reck on I’m well enough to take a watch.” He clutched at the rail and stared across the sea. “Where’s that lugger?” he de manded truculently. “Over there;” replied Rose, point ing. - ~- Until then none of them had glanced in the direction of the puz zling object that had caused them so much debate, but when their eyes- focused on .it now: they- gave a little start. Captain Bedfonl granted and ■recovered bis voice fitst. . “Ye call that a ship!” he snorted; “Great Jehosophat, ain't ye got eyest That’s land! An island!” It was an island rising abruptly from the sea—not one of your coral- girted, palm-fringed islands of the tropics, but! of rock-buttressed head-, land that caught the breaking surf and- hurled' it back shattered into foam. Perhaps a mile or two in width, and fifty feet high, it offered a safe asylum for shipwrecked sailors in the stormiest weather, could a safe landing be effected. “We’re drifting straight toward the island,” Dick remarked; VIn a couple of hours we’ll reach it. Any danger of being wrecked on those rocks?” “If we could work around to the. other side 0’ the island,” muttered the skipper, “we’d be safer.” After much awkward and diffi cult maneuvering, they brought the ship to safety in a- sheltered cove. Captain Bedford 'was anxious to begin making repairs so the Betty could sail out of her prison at the earliest possible time. “We can’t reckon on more’n a week of fine weather,” he said. iiAn' we got about all we can do to get off afore that.” . Dick’s curiosity to land on the island and survey the scene from the top of the cliffs was greater than any fear C f' future disaster. “I’m going ashore,” he announced. iiWhat fur?” growled the skipper. “Ye won’t” see anythin’ but water an* an island, an’ ye can see them here.” iThe island may be inhabited on the other, side.” Captain Bedford snorted. “Ye ex pect to find a hotel an’ a ship waitin’ to take ye home?” Dick shook his head and'laughed. 'No, but I’m curious to climb up there and get a look. I won’t be gone long.” When he was near the summit, he increased his pace, eager to get a glimpse over the top. “Great Jehosophat, ain't you got eyes! Dial’s land! An island!” . The island was long and narrow; with the opposite side disappearing in the sea gradually, a fine sandy beach fringing half of it in the shape of a crescent horseshoe. The de scent -from the rocks to the beach was sharp and . abrupt.. One could make it in a brisk run'or walk. Dick took this all in swiftly like the flash of a cinematograph. Then his eyes came to a sharp halt on ah object in the cove formed by the crescent beach. With a quick in. take of the breath, he exploded: “The lugger! Tucu’s crew’s on the island!” The lugger was anchored near the beach where she had probably rid den out the storm in perfect safety. Tucu had known of the island and its protecting cove. The sails were flapping idly in the breeze, stretched for diymg in the warm sun. -The deck was deserted. There was ho sign of any one aboard. Dick Makes Another Dismaying Discovery But this was easily accounted for by the presence of two boats drawn up on* the sands. Die crew was all ashore. Dick could see them in scattered groups. A sudden fear that they had discovered the . Betty on the opposite side, of the island, and were preparing to attack her from the land side, made him wary and watchful. He ducked a little lower to /avoid any possible detec tion. Theh his eyes took in other fea tures of the beach.' Some distance back from the water where the rocks broke through the sand, an other group of seamen were, hud dled together. Diey were' standing in an attitude o f watchfulness and waiting.: One of their number v advancing to colder with the Caribs. Dick gazed in puzzled'surprise and stupefied amazement. These oth ers-were white men—seamen, ship wrecks! He could make that out without difficulty. It flashed through his mind they had been wrecked on the island, -and were bargaining with Tucu to take them off. - There were seven in all, counting their leader who was parleying with the Caribs. Dick .frowned- for - no other reason than that something in their appearance, or in their lead er’s attitude; reminded him of the past and for a long time he was silent and.thoughtfuV'Striving to re call a fleeting memory that di» turbed him; . Then with a little grant, he sat up,, shaded his eyes, with both hands, and crouched:as motionless as a tiger stalking, his prey.- - His breath came in short, labored iiHen Pettigrew!” his lips mur- wiured finally. The explanation of the group of white men on the beach was all com prehensible. One'of the boats of the City of Bahia had landed on the island or been wrecked there. The discovery was not pleasant to Dick. His recognition of the man who had pursued him half around a continent;' shadowing him as per sistently as a bulldog, and ,finally capturing him in a small, out of the way corner of the earth”, gave him a distinct shock. With a quiver, he recalled Hen’s parting words: “If we meet again—on shore—I’ll pinch you. It’s my duty.” He glanced back of him. The schooner was resting quietly in its protecting prison, rising and fall ing lazily. On ihe deck Captain Bedford was busy making repairs to the sails and rigging, preparing for escape before another storm came. Rose stood alone at the bow, and as Dick looked she waved to him. . He groaned and waved back to her. Then violent words sprang to his lips. .“Damn Hen! He shan’t take me! I’U kill him first! It isn’t fair! I’ve paid—paid enough for another’s crime! I’ll die fighting for freedom! Damn it, I’ll jump into the sea first!” Rose was Stilfwaving to him, cup ping her hands occasionally as if shouting words of encouragement. He listened, but the distance Was too far to catch her voice. Suddenly the fit of angry passion deserted him, leaving him limp, and weak. He groaned aloud: “She will know! Hen will tell her! I can’t escape it!” Her name sprang to his lips, and with a cry of anguish he dropped his head on the hard rocks. The in evitable fate that had pursued him was closing about him, and he was glad now that he'hadn’t spoken to her. He shivered at the thought. At least he had saved her that humiliation. When he -glanced up again his mind was calmer and his white face, drawn, and strained, had less of the rebellious lines in it. The men on the .beach were still parley ing. Dick wondered what sort of bargain they could make with Tucu. The old pirate would demand all he could get and take it: Tucu was. like Hen—inexorable and greedy. While he looked the parley suddenly terminated, and Captain Tucu, who had been conversing with Hen, turned on his heels to walk back to his waiting Caribs; but half way there he wheeled so swift ly that Hen was taken off his guard. There was a puff of smoke, and a sharp report -Hen Pettigrew stag gered back and nearly fell, reeling as if suddenly bereft of'all powers of locomotion. At the same instant a group of Caribs, led by Black Burley, start ed forward on the run, firing as they came. Dick sqw Pettigrew reel again, and this time pitch head first into the sand. The Caribs rushed past him, filling the air with their shots. Dick waited to hear the returning volley from the white seamen, as the Caribs advanced, dodging from side to side, but no response came from them. Tucu had armed every one of his crew but they were poor- shots. Stones Poor Weapons Against C uiy “They’re waiting until the Caribs are” nearer,” Dick mused joyfully. “I 'wish”—a little Tegretfully-iiHeil was there. Hen’s a‘ dead shot.” Nearer and- nearer came 'the Caribs to the entrenched fortress of the seamen. Dick noticed for the first time they were 'protected by a rampart of rocks they had gath ered for a breastwork. “Hen’s work,” he chuckled. ■Hen’s shrewd in a fight. Didn’t trust old Tucu.” The attacking party was within a. stone’s throw of the breastwork, and still the white men held their fire. Ten feet hearer, and the sailors rose as one man. Dick held his. breath; ,expecting a withering volley from them ; but ipstead a shower of rocks and stones filled the air. Two of the Caribs went down, and a third stumbled and halted. The others dropped to. the beach to es cape the flying missiles, and the at tack was temporarily checked. “Why don’t they shoot now?” growled. Dick. “They could get them if—” . He stopped and drew a deep breath as the unpleasant explana tion forced, itself: sharply upon his mind. The,. seamen from the wrecked,, steamer carried no fire arms, or if they had taken them away, with them, ,as Hen,must hays taken his,; the & lt water had ren dered them useless. They were un armed, except for the stones,'While the Caribs were plentifully supplied, with guns. . . ..... Dick’s hand reached for his own pistol, and then dropped lixhply to his side. Captain Tucu had disarmed bim wheh he was made a prisoner, and Dtok hadn't found any substitute weapons. Were there jn°re fire arms aboard the Betty? Probably not; Captain- Tucu had robbed, the schooner of every weapon he could lay his . hands on. With, a groan at his impotence, he turned back to the, beach, . The Caribs were attacking again. ; (to BK cotmiroiiR IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL CUNDAYI School Lesson By HAfiOLD L. LUNDQU1ST. D.. D.Of The U oodyBible Institute of Chicago.

FAUL ADMONlfflES THE CHURCHES LESSON -TEXT—I Corinthians 11:20-27; Romans 13:13. 14; Ephesians S:18-21.MEMORY SELECTION—Let us walk bon- estly, as In the day.—R sm aas 13:13. Tempermice is readily taught from the epistles of Paul for he was constantly moved by the Holy Spirit to exhort the churches and individ ual Christians to a ^careful and worthy walk before God. In doing so he was not afraid to speak, plainly about the use of in toxicants. Perhaps his brethren in the ministry today should consider him and take courage. Our lesson is a temperance lesson, and since, some- twist that word temperance” to fit almost any kind of indulgence, we should like to quote a careful evaluation of it by Dr. W. R. White: “Temperance is a seriously .mis understood word. Thebestdefinition we know defines it as !abstaining from that which is harmful, and using moderately that which is legitimate; We would not advise a man to be moderate-in teasing-a rattlesnake. We would not teD him that it is all right to steal, lie or commit adultery just so he is temperate about it. We would not tell a man to use dope moderately. . . . We could tell a man to be moderate about eating meat or any other wholesome thing.” The only way to be temperate about liquor, is to let it alone! -I. The Wrong Way and the Right Way—in the Church (I Cor. 11:20- 27). There were a number of disorder ly things about the Corintiiian church which needed correction. One of these concerned the Lord’s Sup per. A time which should have giv en them .a blessed unity in fellow ship and love had become just tije opposite. It was their , custom to eat a so- called love feast before the sacra ment, and instead of making it a time of loving and sharing, the rich ate their sumptuous meals and let a poor brother gnaw on a crust of bread. Then feasting led, as it so often does, to excesses. Some.became drunken on the wine and even par took of the Lord’s Supper while in toxicated. „ We are not so .much concerned with the Lord’s-Supper in this les son as we are with the behavior of those who attended.' Think of com ing to the holy table drunk! It seems impossible, and yet it happened. Do we not still let the poor In our midst shift pretty well for them- selves?fThe rich flaunt their affluence and let the poor get along on their crust of bread. The church needs to renew its scriptural appreciation of what fellowship and communion really means. n . The Wrong Way and the Right Way—In the Community (Rom. 13: 13, 14). This chapter of the epistle to the Romans concerns the right behavior of the believer in his civic relation ships. He is- a citizen of heaven, but he is also a citizen of the com munity in which he lives. The use of intoxicants which a generation ago was a shameful thing is now generally accepted. The home in 'which liquor was .served was a disgrace; new “cocktail” is one of ffie first words children learn. What is the explanation? is liquor any Im s destructive and demoral izing? Certainly not! Is it then true that people are more candid and open about what they do?' No, it is rather that moral standards have slipped to toe point where they are no longer ashamed when they should be, if they thought straight! Along with the liquor go ail toe things enumerated In verse 13. Oh, toe,awful depth of sex degradation, of'plain ordinary indecency and dis honesty, of strife, and envy.' It is not a nice picture, but it is true. The right way is found in verse 14: It was reading these two verses in his mother’s open Bible that led Augustine to Christ. He saw and took the right way. Will others do likewise? m ; Die Wrong Way and the Right Way—in-the Heart (Eph. 5:18-21), .This Js a personal matter. The man or woman who finds satisfac tion in wine wants the overcoming power of toe iRarcotic influence to take awhy toe sense.of responsibil ity for life.. It is a weak and hope less way to avoid facing reality. ' The right way is to let toe Holy Spirit take’frill control of the heart and life. This is to be an experience of complete surrender, being “filled with the Spirit.” ' ’Does life then become drab and uninteresting?. No, indeed! For the first tune you. will be really joyful. That inevitably leads to thankful ness, a grace too httle known and practiced. It is-for all things at all times.. Do not overlook that fact Then too there , will be a delightful attitude of consideration and re spect for one another (v. 21) and of devotion to God.

Contrary to traditional sentiment, she was not happy about it, for she had planned to stay in Haw York with Ralph. With considerable forethought she had even planned the day; church in the morning, Christmas dinner with Amy and Bill, a walk down Fifth avenue at twilight, a snack of sup per, and the theater. But Ralph had been invited to a "swell house party in Philadel phia." Margaret slammed down the top of her suitcase. She could have borne up under a Christmas with a lonely mother, or a widowed sister. "What about me?" she had longed to cry out, but she had, in stead, smiled and said that it was just too marvelous, wondering meanwhile if Mr. Johnson would let her have an extra day off. Ralph had only to go to Philadelphia, two hours away, while she had no one within SOO milest I D E C E M B E R 2 - 8 ~ 1 U ■ Several hours later she stood on the porch of a white frame bouse. Now she was ready, bag in hand, for the midnight train. As she wait ed for the taxicab, she smoothed her black, tailored woolen frock over her slim hips. If New York hadn't been particularly kind to her, it had at least taught her how to dress! She couldn’t sleep on the train. Closing her eyes, she saw the clut tered desk which she had left at Roswell’s Advertising agency, and Mt. Johnston’s kindly face when he had told her to go home for Christ mas. She saw Ralph’s desk in the manager’s office, Ralph dancing in Philadelphia, Ralph opening Christmas gifts — and just Ralph, with whom she would never again share good times. There was a three-hour wait for the local train at Pittsburgh, but Margaret was too tired and depressed to leave the station. After buying a magazine featuring an article on men, and an astrological delineation of her birtbsign, she settled herself into the practical task Qf trying to determine her future in this most unpredictable world. Several hours later, not much wiser but much more weary, she stood On the porch of a white frame house. The door opened and Margaret blinked. "I win!” shouted Ralph, trium phantly. ‘‘She came on the midnight train!” Mrs. Brown rushed out to the hall way and enfolded her daughter in ■an ample, motherly embrace. "Margaret! Why child, you’re a • sight! Your face is as black as coal."

'But he was apprehensive, for in the bundle was a letter from Caro line, his daughter: Why, he kept asking, would Caroline he writing now, Qie day before Christmas, un less to tell her parents that she wouldn’t be home for the holidays? Noisily he stamped the snow from his overshoes on the back porch, then walked into the kitchen which was savory with the odor of his wife Rachel’s Christmas cooking. Then, as Rachel approached the bundle of letters he had placed on Qie table, Timothy found himself shrinking from the room, fearful of how Radiel would take the news. No Caroline tor Christmas! Why, never once in her 24 years had Caro line been away. But, then, she was bunding her own life in the city, .now — new friends, new interests. And spending the holidays with two old parents was probably pretty dull.But how would Rachel take it? If only someone, anyone, p would spend .Christmas with them to re lieve Qie loneliness! Well, how about young Tom Wakefield, with whom Caroline had once been in love, a fine young chap who didn’t have a home, and who probably would miss Caroline this Cluristmas as much as he and Rachel would? A few minutes later Timothy was tramping downtown through the snow again, and into Tom Wake field's garage.“Merry Christmas, Tom!” he shouted, walking into the small office.“Same to you, Mr. Stone!” cried Tom. “What can I do for you?"“Well, Tom,” Timothy began, "you can make a couple of old peo ple pretty happy if you’ll come to 'dinner with us tomorrow. You see— I don’t expect Caroline will be com ing and, well; it would be nice if you’d join us.” “Gosh, thanks Mr. Stone!” Tom answered. He turned red, then pale. “I'll be there!” Back home, Timothy was repri manded. “Well, Mr. Stone, ■ where have you been, leaving me all alone with this news about Caroline?” Rachel’s eyes sparkled. “I know, darling,” Timothy said, “It’s too bad she can’t be here for Christmas, but I’ve asked Tom Wakefield to join us. It’ll be kind of nice having him, remembering how he and Caroline used to be so close. .You know, I think that boy is still !in love with her—.” Timothy found himself shrinking from the room. Mrs. Stone smiled. “Well, we’d better get bhsy, since company’s coming. Fix a fire in the hearth, will you?” And as Timothy. went off on his errand, her eyes followed him, smiling. The Stone household was a busy place Christmas morning. While Timothy tended his stock and poultry, Rachel fixed the turkey, set the table arid then went upstairs to dress. And shortly after noon Tom Wakefield arrived, handsome young Tom,- and the three of them sat down Invthe living room. before the fire for a short visit before dinner: ~ • Then an automobile horn blared out front, and Timothy ran to the window. “It’s Caroline!” he shouted, beside himself. ' “Rachel, come quick! She must have come in on Qie noon train!” . .Then she burst into the room, lovely Caroline, laughing merrily, tossing her bags on the floor and running to her parents.Suddenly she saw Tom, standing white and tense beside the fire place, and momentarily her rriouth feU opeh_with surprise."Oh, Tom!” she cried. “You here, too? This makes it perfect!” And she ran to his arms, while Rachel drew her puzzled husband into the kitdien. . “You may be a pretty smart man, Timothy,” she explained quietly as she lifted the turkey from the oven, “but we fooled you that tinie! You just assumed, because Caroline wrote the day before Christmas, that she wasn’t coming home. What She said in the. letter was that she was Qred of the city and was coming baCk to'stay. "Of course,” she smiled, "I’ll give you credit. Poor Caroline’s heart was breaking for Tom, so your inviting him here, today makes everything perfect!” We Are Now Prepared To Buy and Gin COTTON In O ur M odern New Cotton Gin F ourS eparate Gins H ave Been Installed.

W He left his mark when he was gone Upon the shores of time To lift tne» up and help them'on’f To heigh 3 that are sublime; Theretore he did not live in vain, Nor die in sad defeat, As ttiose who curse and Might and stain The Iiwes'of those they meet. His murk was that of noble deeds He did along life’s road; Of sowing good and wholesome seeds That brought a wonderous ioad Qf hapotness to other souls, Of cheer and jdv and peace. That helps them on to reach their goals Where glories never cease. Likewise he left his mark in payer, And bv bis shining face, That rescued men from dark de- ' spair And helped them find their place, That theyalso might nobly live To bless the lives of men, By going forth their best to give By deed and word and pen. Heleft his'his mark' to show .the way That saints and sages trod, - Which leads to one eternal day Before the throne of God. And wheii God makes His jewels tip To shine in heaven’s realm. He’ll give to him a peaceful cup And crown him oue of them It is indeed-wonderful to makc- one’s mark for God that shall live on atid on to bless the. world. Here is a quotation from Rev. G. Ar nold Hedgin that illustrates what I am saying: “It is said that the- great David Livingston, during one of his very infrequent visits to the homeland. Scotland, was speaking to a small gathering of friends and neighbors He'was describing the great dark nevs, suffering, and n&d of the A- fricans. Especially pathetic was his recital of the. terrible sin of the l ade: That description of the aw ful abuses of human Ii eny, must have been both dramatic and im- oassioned. for among the listeners was a tweive year-old boy, who, listening, was moved as few Scot tish lads' are , The storygoes that’ when ‘ .Davy," as LMngstone was lovingly called bjr his friends and neighbors, bad finished his mis* SionarJ message that day in the Alantvre home, the young lad step, peiI tiV the front, and taking off bis jacket and rolling up his. sleeves, said something like the following:' “ Wheu I am no longer a wee boy, and big enough to go .down there, bv the grace of God I will helpput D ot an etid to that sinful - hnsines * That boy became the famous Arne* of Africa ' ' ■ 1Aftcr the great explorer and missionary, Livingstone, bad ceas ed from :ht!> iat>ors, after his voice was n I longer beard among his be- Joved African«,,and after bis foot sti os had cea«ed'to tread thosa wide ex pauses and dreary wastes ofAfri.'

A look at'the meat orices during the past month substantiate this' argument. Commenting on the end of price control, the Statesvilte Daily1 car ried the following editorial: - “ Now that price control bave been removed from all but three items, there should be a quicken ing of the flow of goods from pro ducers to consumers, along/ with improvement in quality, and with out unwarranted price increases. “There will he prices in some lines Those are the things which manufacturers were unable to pro duce at OPA ceilings, and had therefore disappeared' from th e market or continued in short sup ply. Bnt if' prices rise too fast or go too high the public has a remedy Which it never fails to tise. It stops buying and the price comes down. That’s what hap pened to meats last week, ' when there was a sharp drop in prices on account of lagging demand. "Competition and consumer re sistance are the best 'price checks we can have.

If and when a foil scale atomic war is fought, . the automobile may possibly have to take a back' seat. Statistics, which as cold figures usually cause no impression, but which tel< a terrible story never theless, prove that a great percentr age of our accidents are not due to any fatilt in the automobile, but in the driver Tbus-it would appear that we, the drivers, are respon- ior our own fatalities — fatalities that in most cases would not oc cur if- we used ordinary common sense in our driving. A car driven at 60 miles an hour and higher speeds is ooly one jump ahead ot an accident, even in the bands of a competent driver in full (Possession of his faculties. Yet cars daily rush up and down our high ways at such speeds. Aad the fre quent accounts of cars leaving tbe highways and wrecking on straight stretches of road, and without col lision with another car, prove that fligh speed.is an accident brewer. .

Yet, at least 63 million people in tbe United States, Mr. Prentts says, do not understand what tbe trou ble is, because throughout th e wh Ie of their adult life they have known nothing about a free market tor many common commodities.

It’s a good idea to have some menus all filed away, that we can rely on as being successful both from the standpoint of be ing good to eat and looking attractive. In case you’re In a sort of a rut about entertaining because of the past several year’s food difficulties, take yourself ixrhand and look over our suggestions today. Tm all for simplicity in entertaining, especially if cooking and serving doesn’t come to one as easily as it seems to others. In thstt case, plan a sim ple menu, but carry it out well, and you’ll really get bouquets to go with it. .Before, company comes, and even before you start getting the dinner itself, have the house, linens, table- ware and cooking equipment in on- der. Once this big worry is out of mind, then you can concentrate on the cooking itself. Do everything you possibly can ahead of time,-so too much won’t be left for-the last minute. . Make out a schedule of when things should go in the oven or when they should be put on the range. Be sure this is worked out.in advance so you won’t be worried that things will not all be ready at the same time.,Tm going to give simple but fes-’ tive recipes today because they will be easy for the novice to prepare, but just wait until.you see how they look on the table. UMMMMMM! Start off with a minted fruit juice, as this is refreshing and -will not take cooking.Chill citrus fruit juice before serving — pineapple and orange juice is a good com bination — and pour into dainty glasses. Add a few crushed mint leaves to each glass. Serve.

Lay sliced cucumbers on each side and pour french or thousand island dressing across the center of the asparagus. -• If you; want to serve attractive and dainty biscuits with the dinner, here’s an idea.

Roll as for jelly roll. Cut off one-inch pieces and place them, cut side down, in a baking pan. Bake for 15. to 20 minutes in a hot (400 degree) oven.

Vffiile this may not be Iitwally true, the recent report of Caniegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching bears out the statement of the radio entertainer in that it describes the school'teachers of the country, as generally “the forgot ten’’'people whose ability to carry on irrespective of work load, living costs and other worrisome factors is ,taken for granted. The report asserts that one of the serious defects in the public education system is the apparent country-wide neglect 'of “the central figure in Uie educational process—the teacher.” There is no denying that the seri ous shortage of school teachers in tee nation today is hampering and lowering educational standards 'in our public school system. Accord ing to Dr. Frank Hubbard, director of research of National Educational association in Washihgton, there was a shortage of approximately 109,000 qualified school teachers last year and the shortage for the ensuing year- will be approximate ly the same number. This shortage is revealed by the number of emergency certificates for teaching which have been grant ed. Such temporary paper means that the bearer is not qualified for a regular certificate, measured by the standards of the state. S hift* o f Population Shortages of school teachers-are worst in those states where influx of wartime population and extremely high birth rates have brought about tremendous population, increases. According to Dr. Hubbard, this migration of population has moved toward the “rim” of the country to the west and east coasts, to Loui siana and the Great Lakes regions, and hence the school teacher shortage is worse in these sections, par ticularly jn California. California- educators declare they need 4,000 new teachers .each year for the next 10 years to meet their educational needs. Dr. Hutibard declares the causes underlying this shortage in quali fied teachers are cumulative over th* years and,conditions are worse in small towns and rural areas than in the larger cities.; Teachers migrate firom the small er schools and smaller communities (0 larger schools , and larger com munities, drawn by more attractive salaries and better living - condi tions and more economic Opportuni ties. And so rural schools draw ing upon unqualified teachers to fill the .gaps, have considerably low er standards today than in prewar years. H igher Pay, M ore Preatige Immediate and' necessary remedies to cure the shortage and to prevent a further breakdown in educational. standards, according to Dr. Hubbard, include: 1. Immediate steps to make salaries attractive enough to-' prevent farther losses of com- . petent teachers. This is coining gradually with about-a 30 per cent increase In school teach-- ers’ salaries since 1941; ■ < 2. Make salaries decent enough to attraet young people into the teaching profession and to prevent’them from going into other lines of work Jto earn a decent living; - ' . 3. Streamlining of teacher educational Institutions, to' make life and study .in these Institi^ - tions more attractive to students; , 4. A program of recruitment In high schools and colleges to prove to newcomers there.are- real opportunities in the teaching profession; 5. A broad and long-range program of raising the general prestige of the teaching profes- ' sion, particularly in the matter - of public thinking toward school , teachers. . 6, EHminate many; subordi nate problems such as housing, - poor school construction, inade- - quate school- equipment; jxud facilities and, oversize classes. The teacher .shortage to rural Ochools Nis alarming to . educators land an attempt was made during the 79th-' congress to .provide for federal appropriations to assist local communities to provide better sal aries.. The measure failed^ pas sage,'however, ltogely .due to opposition; to “federal control” which might follow use of federal money, City schools are feeling the short age only to specialized lines and en rollment in cite schools likely will bej smaller .the coming year with population moving to the - suburbs and rural areas.

It was the finding-of the Board of Education' that the accident was not due to carelessness on the part of the driver. • The accident was due primarily to old equip ment in use by the schools of the srate, according to an expert from the State Highway and Safety Di vision. It is regretable that we had a bus accident of such serious pro portions in Davie County, and the Board of Education has been seek ing to aecure better equipment for use -in transporting school child ren to and from school.

ORk $ t * MORE DUPLICATION WASHINGTON. — President Tru m an is a sincere, hard-plugging ad vocate of unified armed services, but he should persuade his army to obej the policy of its commander-in-chief. At present thevarmy\ is building e special wing to W alter Reed hos pital at 12th and Dahlia streets ir Washington which will exactly dupli ' cate the navy’s. This wing is to take care of the President of the United States. Simultaneously, the navy also has a floor of its Bethesda Naval hospi tal reserved for the President. It is all set to take care of him at any time. However, medical officers have changed in the White Hous6 and a navy doctor isn’t in command any more. The army now runs the show. , Roosevelt, always partial to the navy, appointed Adm. Ross McIn- tire White House physician. But Tru man, who served in the army, se lected Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham as White House physician. ~ And of course an arm y doctor does not like to practice in a naval hos pital. Therefore the arm y medical corps, wanting to avoid the humility of sending the President to a naval hospital, authorized a new wing to the W alter Reed Army hospital. Thus, at the expense of thousands of feet of scarce lumber, tons of strategic m etal and several thousand bricks, the special wing for the President is being built.* •' * U.S. VS. U.S.S.R. DEMOCRACY Secretary of ,State Jimmy Byrnes has been telling the fol lowing story about the differ ence between democracy in Rus sia and the United States. “An American soldier,’’ he re lates, “was talking to a Russian soldier In Berlin. The American said that in his country, he could go to Washington without a per m it, go to the White House, wait his turn, get in to see the Presi dent and tell him that he doesn’t like American foreign policy. 4T hafs democracy,’ said the G.I. “ 4T bafs nothing,’ the Russian soldier replied. ‘In my country I can go to Moscow, knock on the door of the Kremlin, walk in, wait my turn, see Stalin, hang on the desk and say, “Mr. . Stalin, I don’t like Truman’s for eign policy either!” And noth ing would happen to me. That’s real democracy.’ ’’ SUPPRESSED REPORT While President Truman and oth er high government officials con tinue their enthusiastic support of the new Philippine government of President Roxas, there remain locked in the files of the White House and Attorney Gen. Tom Clark two copies of a report which, if made public, has explosive power nearly as great as that of the sup pressed Rogge report. The Philippine report was written by a special investigator sent to Manila last winter to determine what action should be taken against islanders who had collaborated with Jap occupation authorities. Inside fact is it pins guilt on nearly all the leaders of the present Philippine ad ministration. Documentary evidence of collaborationist records of a large part of the present senate, cabinet and President Roxas himself is in cluded. The charges include such crim inal acts as aiding the Japs to wipe out patriot guerrillas, conspiring to seize food from famished Filipinos for use by the Jap armies, in addi tion to the declaration of w ar against the United States in.1944. Although the vast m ajority of the Filipinos hated and resisted the Japs, corruption spread through the top layers of political and industrial leaders. Result was that the justice departm ent investigators recom mended that the most important col laborationist clique be tried not in the Philippines, where it would be difficult to find a. native court com pletely free of bias, but in Stm Fran cisco. Reason this recommendation was never acted Upon, officials say, was largely Gen. Douglas MacArthur.» * • UNDER THE Ao m e • Speaker Sam Rayburn doesn’t want the. job of minority leader. .

Everything said and done by the United Nations is now on the up and up, and the net result is to indicate Hiat the greatest menace to world peace is speechmaking with no cuts. : The last world war saw a peace brought about in fewer lan guages and no radio assistance. Our impression is that if there had been, microphones in those days, the orators, would still have bfeen talk- ing.- ’ ’ • / *__ Open diplomacy is all right if it is not so open that it gets con fused with the commericals, the soap operas and the radio audi tions. — . • The idea of having all the cards on the table is swell. But it might be ,,just, as well if the interludes when the boys play gin rummy were not broadcast.- • » The best thing'that could happen to all bodies at work on peace would be a general loss of voice by the delegates, coupled with a realiza tion that a better world cannot be developed exclusively' through the gas works. • .

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C.I •■ . - o r G M m A N D fi/C E X l/IT H so many rum ors and so many reports concerning sal aries ranging from $1,000 to $12,000 for College football -players, one be gins to wonder -what can be done about it. It has been im possible to get any set facts, since alumni and outside interests are large ly responsible for m ost of the deals and arrangem ents, and all you run into is quick-and often bitter denials. But a GrantisndBice good part of the sal ary scandal is undoubtedly true. We put the problem up to one ol the ablest and best college presi dents, who also has bein-badly wor ried over the situation. “In the first place,” he said, ■“those controlling the rules of col lege am ateurism say no athlete can be paid. But, in permitting schol arships, they violate their own rules, since scholarships are worth from $500 to $1,000. “I believe that a football player is entitled to a scholarship. I also believe he is entitled to a job that will help to pay his expenses. I also believe that it is im portant he take a standard educational course, and not some easy course set up for football players. The m ain idea is to get an education, to keep up in class work. Adding two and a half hours of practice and play to the daily college schedule, should en title the player to a scholarship re ward. I think this reward should he officially recognized. “I am completely against any other form of pay for play. . If a, football player is' paid as much as $15 a month for expenses you have not only professionalism but the opening wedge to a professional scan dal. The $15 will soon lead to $50, then to $500 and then to much more. This m ust be stopped.” D if f l c u l t t o C o n t r o l "Don’t you think,” I asked, “that college presidents should be respon sible for. the enforcement of am a teur football? They m ust or should know what is going on.” “Where so m any, financial ar rangements are made by alumni and other outside parties away from the campus, how can the college presi dent know?” he asked. “But he at least can be held responsible for see ing that his players are bona'fide •students who attend proper classes and keep up in their work. If we are given proper rules and regula tions to enforce we are. in .pouch better shape to m eet the situation which undoubtedly is getting out of hand in many places.” I have seen ads in leading news papers asking for college alumni to subscribe to football-funds. One coach told me that with only $50,000 on hand he had no chance -to compete with other team s which had a fund of $100,000 to hack them . There a fe 'm any ways this fund ■can be used. Either directly with the player or with the player’s fa ther. I know of one case, given to' me by responsible: parties, where a -certain fa tte r was paid' as much as $5,000 to see that his football-playing son, naturally a good one, attended a designated college. Needing the $5,000 badly, th e-fa tte r m ade the .proper arrangem ents, and there, is almost no chance that he will talk about it. It is a deal hard to uncover or “to expose. The Soutt adm its cer tain financial arrangem ents, charg ing that other sections are equally guilty, but keep their deeds cov ered up. Charges and r counter charges are being thrown back! and forth w itt increasing venom. S e c tio n a l S t r if e One of the m ain reasons the Big N ine'has voted to play in the Rose Bowl game is. to keep that $100,000 fund from going to southern team s; where, as I was told; "they take, -this money and then raid top North and East. WeTl stop that. Also, we are against team s from the West -and N ortt playing southern team s.* This wotild mean that the Soutt would have to depend on the Cotton Bowl (possibly), the Sugar Bowl -and the Orange Bowl,- where. Only -the Sugar Bowl can' approach the Rose Bowl reward:- The best solution seems to be the Jvy league — which in'.the main plays only in its -own circuit. Tet here, too, close Obswvatian reveals -certain mntterings. The Big Nine' and tte ,Southwest- build most of their schedules among -themselves. So does the F ar West; The Sontt doesn’t go' away from its borders too often. As one leading southern coach told m e: “The trouble with the-South is that we spend most, of our tim e a t tacking one another. We know other sections are equally vulnerable, equally at fault. But the-pressure is so heavy to win in the South that w e lose mostof our judgment. Someone-is always accusing, some neighboring coach or college. We are far from being simon-pure, but -What section-is?. For my part; I’d -much 'rather get hack; to playing with students who - come to us ,of their own accord. It would make dor better sportsm anship.. TREASURE OF THE SSA . THE STORY THUS FARt The crew of a small sailing vessel In (he CarQibeaa pick op Dick Jordan* “ Adrift on a raft. He realizes that he Is among, men Jittle better than pirates* They come Qpon a drifting schooner Qpif^ only two people aboard, the de» Wfented captain and his daughter, Rose. Tncn and Ms pirates capture ,Uie schoon er er. and search fruitlessly for the "treas- "nre.” Then Tncn goes away, because a StoHn is brewing. Dlck swims to the schooner, arriving Jnst In time .tos res cue Rose from two M Uie pirates* Cap tain Bedford recovers and they sail to an Island. Dick discovers that Tncn and Us crew are on the other side. They are battling a group of white men. ■ C H A PTER X The Caribs were checked again by a volley of stones, and withdrew after that to a safe distance, while Burley and Tucu held a consulta tion. Dick struggled to his feet, a little bewildered . and uncertain what course to pursue. There, were six white men, now that Pettigrew had been killed, and a dozen Caribs at tacking them, an even disposition of forces, perhaps if they had been equally equipped for battle—for one white m an could ordinarily handle two Caribs—but arm ed w itt pistols that their enemies lacked the black m en had the advantage. They could pick off their enemies leisurely with out running any risk from flying stones, and in the end conquer through their superior weapons, c, “Captain Bedford m ay have pis tols or'rifles that Tucu overlooked,” Dick reasoned. “With two or three we could rout the Caribs.” Animated by this thought, he tuined and began scrambling down the rocks, scarring his hands and knees and nearly losing his balance once or twice through careless baste. Rose saw him coming, and waved to him ; Dick gave no. heed to her until he stood on the deck, hot, flushed, and panting: “Captain. Tucu’s gang’s oh the other side of the island!” he an nounced abruptly. i ' Rose recoiled and turned deathly white, but Captain. Bedford’s face set in hard lines without a trace of fear in it. “Then we must get ready fur them ,” he said grimly. “Did they see ye?” “No; but I saw them .” The old skipper nodded. “Can ye shoot?” “Yes, 'if I had anything to shoot with. Tucu. disarmed me, and took every weapon off the schooner.” “Did he?” The skipper’s face was wreathed in a crafty smile. "I reckon now,” he added a moment later, “he overlooked some of ’em.” 'R e in fo r c e m e n ts C o m e F r o m t h e S c h o o n e r Leading the way into the cabin, with Dick and Rose eagerly follow ing, he began prying up a section of the floor. After loosening a few boards he lifted out a. small chest hidden underneath,- which, -when opened, disclosed a. treasure more precious to Dick than the gold tak en from the submarine. It consist ed of half a dozen brand-new pistols of modern pattern, automatics of a deadly type, with ammunition enough to feed them, for a consid erable tim e. “We could clean ’em up, alpne, but mebbe it would be better to get down to- the sailors, an’ let ’em have some sort of fun. Reckon they'd enjoy it,” grinned the cap tain. ■“Yes,” nodded Dick, “we m ust -Have nearly enough guns .for all. life m ust hurry." They started up the companion, but When they climbed over the side of the schooner to get ashore Rose sud denly protested. “Aren’t you. going to help me ashore, Dick?” “No,” he: replied gravely, “you m ust stay-on the,Betty. We’ll come back to you.” She sniffed and tossed her head in the air. “U Father’s going Tm going too,” she answered. . Dick started to protest further, but paptain Bedford nudged, him. “N o.use arguin’,” he whispered. “I’ve spoilt her. - She always has her way,” W itt a smile she acknowledged this doubtful compliment, and climbed down to the prass of wreck age. '' When they reached the ‘summit of the cliff, the situation below was not' changed. - The Caribs were still at a safe distance, shooting occa sionally. a t the breastwork behind w bioh.tte white men were Crouched. Their bullets went Wide Of the m ark, which induced. Captain Bed ford to rem ark, “Ye can’t never teach ■ a Carib to shoot straight. 'Tain’t born’ in-’em. Reckon jve’ll show ’em how to do it." Dick had been scanning the rocks below with a careful estim ate of the danger, ahead. The shipwrecked inen had reached the upper part of the-beach, and it was possible to get within a hundred feet of them w ittout exposing their bodies by fol-. lowing closely a ridge of outcrop ping ,boulders. When he indicated this to-C aptain Bedford, the old skipper nodded, and waited for him to lead. Once more Dick urged Rose to rem ain behind, but she stubbornly, shook her head and prepared to fol low. -. The Caribs had their attention di rected upon the breastwork of their enemies, and, not expecting danger from above, they never once raised their eyes to the summit of the cliff. This more than any skill on their part enabled - the three to creep stealthily down the ridge until’ close to the hiding place of. the sailors. Crouching there for a moment they' considered the next move. Between them and the breastwork was -an open stretch of flat sand. To cross this they had to expose their bodies to the cross fire of the Caribs.” “I’ll go first,?’ Dick whispered. • ■ I “No, wait a minute,” replied the skipper. “Likely’s not them sailors will take ye for a flankin’ party an’ land a ton of stones on yer head. We got to le t’’em know we’re friends.” “How can we do it, without alarm ing the Caribs?” “Reckon we can’t. But it’s got to be done.” Suddenly, without warning of his intentions, the skipper raised his voice w ittout exposing his head: “Ahoy, there, shipmates t Look There was a puff of smoke and a sharp report. aloft! Keep them stuns for the en emy, an’ don’t shy any of ’em aft! We’re cornin’! to, help ye.” The surprise and consternation of tte sailors at the voice behind them was not greater than that of the Caribs. Dick’ saw Captain Tucu and Black Burley jump to their feet and scan the rocks w itt eager eyes. “I reckon now ye can go,” Cap tain Bedford whispered. “Ye’re spryer’n me, an’ can make it quick er.” 1 - “Give me all except two of the pistols,” replied Dick. “You and Rose keep one apiece: Don’t expose yourself.: Keep Rose here w itt you.” “ Reckon I ain’t promisin’ to keep her here,” grinned tte skipper, “but I’ll try it.” T h e A u to m a t ic s T u r n th e T id e Dick nodded, and then vaulted tte low ridge of rocks, and, crouching- low, m ade a break across tte open space. JIis sudden appearance was tte signal for a volley of shots from tte Caribs,. but • to anticipation iff this he dodged and ducked so er ratically thaj tte bullets buried them selves in the sand’ at a safe dis tance on either side. The sailors, forewarned, inade no hostile demonstration, but watched him with gaping mouths and wide- open eyes. When he Anally1Janded plump in their midst, they stretched forth arm s to receive him. Recov ering his breath, Dick said: “Now give them hellL Slfoot to loll!” The sight of the guns he began passing around brought grins of de light to the haggard .faces. "I haven’t enough for all;” Dick added. “So be carefuL Who among you are the best shots?” • “I’ve killed a m an at a hundred feet,” replied a burly seaman, tak ing a gun, “an* m y m ate’s nearly as good. Give him one.” . .The other two were -handed to m en' who declared- they were good shots, and were anxious to try, their skill on tte'-C aribs.- . Dick took charge.and directed the shooting,' , “They’re cowards,- and will run the moment we shoot,” he said. “They don’t.know we’re arm ed. So make the best of our chance. Sin gle out our men, and shoot togett*. er.” '■ - He counted two and-then raised a hand as a signal. Four vicious bullets sped toward their m arks, and before they were well on their way others were following them.. The automatics barked so continu ously -that ihalf the Caribs were down before the others could duck for shelter. The sailors wanted to break cover and charge, but Dick restrained them:- “No. they’ll get some of you. Keep covered until we get Tucu and •Burley. The rest will surrender-” -“ Who’s Tucu — their • leader?” asked one of the seamen.- “ Yes, he’s the captain-of the lug ger, and Black Burley’s the m ate.” , “Know ’em?” .“Sure. I?ve sailed with them.?’ The sailors eyed, him 'curiously. In tte iull that followed, one asked: “Wasn’t ye on the City of Bahia?” Dick nodded.“Thought I remembered yer face. Got away, did ye?” Further conversation was inter rupted by the unexpected barking of a ’gun far on tte ir right. For a. moment they thought a- flanking, party had crept up behind them ; but alm ost simultaneously w itt the crash of the report there came a cry. from the enemy. They saw a gi gantic black m an leap in the air and tumble face downward. .“Black Burley!” exclaimed Dick. “Who shot him ?” asked one of the sailors, uneasily glancing in the direction of the shot. “Captain Bedford,” smiled D ick. “He’s faying to flank them.’? The rest of the Caribs, with Tucu leading, had leaped from cover, and were making a run for their last refuge. ; ' , - “After them !” yelled Dick, springing over the breastwork. “Don’t let Tucu escape.” Dick led the assaulting party, but Tucu had a big sta rt.. It looked for a tim e as if he would escape, and Dick hesitated between keeping up the race and stopping to shoot. .Per haps in either case b e would have lost if Tucu’s vengeful nature hadn’t tem porarily handicapped him. Hen Pettigrew lay directly in his path, where he had been left by the Caribs for dead; but Hen had as many lives as a cat, and despite the fact that he carried three bul lets in his body he was a long way from being dead. He sat up and began struggling feebly to get on his feet. He w as' not aware of, Tucu’s presence until the latter stopped suddenly hi his steps. The sight of one, of his enemies escaping when he could kill him was too much of a strain on Tucu’s nature. He decided'to linger long enough to put Hen out of the game. With a malevolent glint in his eyes, he leered at the half-dazed man, and' said: “I reckon y’don’t need to get up.” He could have shot him on the run, but He wanted to make sure 'this tim e. He brought his gun close! to Hen’s head, thrusting it vicious-. Iy between his eyes so he could stare his fate directly in the face. It was a brutal, bloodthirsty act, and for a moment Hen recoiled. “Damn ye, take that I’’-grunted the half-breed. D ic k S a v e s th e L if e O f H is N e m e s is There, was an explosion, so dose that tte powder blackened Hen’s face, but tte bullet buried itself in the sand as Tucu’s right hand dropped to his side, with thq? fore arm broken close to ,the wrist. , Dlck had taken advantage of his hesitation and shot at tte hand hoot ing the gun to Hen’s face, pausing to aim carefully and deliberately to m ake sure he did not m iss. ‘ , With a ,snarl and curse, the half- breed grasped Ids wounded w rist in his free hand, and Seeing1U tat es cape was impossible he fanned Upqn. Dick like an enraged animal. All the venom of his nature flared up. in his eyesi. Dick could have shot easily, but he hesitated..' The m an was wound ed and unarmed, his gun having fallen to the ground. He could not 'shoot Tucu even when he,had him ' at his mercy. “It's all up, Tucu,” he said, smil ing as he advanced.“ I won’t kill you if you’ll surrender. You can’t get away.” - ,' - “ Y’won’t shoot m e if I surrey.- der?” whined the half-breed. "Y’won’t let ’em kill m e!” . “No, we’ll give you a fair trial, but you don’t deserve it.” 1 Tucu’s shifty eyes seemed to lose their fire, and Dick noticed that-the limp arm was bleeding freely..“I’ll help you,” he added, kicking the man’s gun away to a safe distance. “That arm m ust be broken.” Although in- the act of kicking Tucu’s gun away, he showed that he didn’t trust the outlaw, Dick was careless in anptten respect.- He thrust his own gim in his pocket.

With his left hand he jerked ah ugly knife from his1 belt and made .a lunge at Dick. The attack was so sudden and Unexpected ~ that there was no'tim e for couhter ac tion: Dick, had barely tim e to catch the uplifted arm and save himseif from alm ost instant death. With a growl of rage that his ruse had failed, the half-brepd struggled to release his ann for another blow; hut Dick flung himself upon toe-out law, grasping the arm with one hand and tte knife with tte otter.

PHILEMON: A LETTER ON CHRISTIAN BROTHERHOOD LESSON1 TEXT—Philemon' 4-20.MEMORY SELECTION—Now Uie Lord Is that Spirit: and where the Spirit ot the Lord is, there Is liberty.—H Corinthians 3:1?. Christian brotherhood! That may not sound like a dynamic influence destined fa> change the world, but that is !just what it has done. We study today a letter written about a slave boy at a tim e when slavery was accepted as right, but it stated principles' of Christian con sideration and brotherly love which were eventually, to overthrow slav ery. It is still a t work today when and where we let it! This letter, written, by Paul and yet by the Holy Spirit, personal and yet eternal and spiritual in its ap plication, is a model of. letter writ ing, and equally a model of Chris tian brotherhood. It concerns one Onesimus, a slave who. had desert ed his m aster and probably defraud ed him (v. 18). He had been con verted and now was being sent, back to his m aster. I. “I Might Be Bold—Yet I R att er Beseedi Thee” (w . 4-9). After a fine spiritual salutation, (w . 1-3), Paul enters upon an ap peal to Philemon which is a model of tact and .courtesy. First he lets Philemon know of his prayerful interest in him. Paul had. been, praying for him, that’s why he could say such a helpful word! Then ' he recognizgs Philemon’s goodness and his effective testimony for Christ. This was an- excellent approach to the making of a re quest, and. be sure that it was not empty or hypocritical flattery. We do well to recognize tte fine quali ties of our Christian brother, and we could profitably speak of them more than we do. Tfien Paul was ready to m ake his request. See how nicely he does it. He skillfully reminds Philemon that he (Paul) m ight m ake some de mands, and especially in view of his age and his imprisonment. But he WUl not do so; rather he says, “I beseech thee.” n . .“Without Thy Mind I 'Would Do Nothing” (w . 10-16). Paul, the aged prisoner, had found in his new convert, Onesimus, a real helper. He would have liked to keep him. In fact, says he to Phile mon, Onesimus could do for m e tte things you would want to do if you were here. (v. 13). Paul could have felt sure of the willingness of Philemon. He could have assum ed that the request would be granted. And in any case, Philemon did not evenTmow where Chiesimus was, so why not- keep him? He did .not reason thus. True Christian consideration re spects tte personal rights and tte property rights of another. We m ust not assume, or demand, or put pressure on^ anyone (v. 14) to get what they have or to draw oiit their service. . Another expression of considera tion is found in verses 15 and 16.’ Philemon had lost a. heathen slave, now he is receiving back a Chris tian brother. No worker will give less in service, and no m aster will demand: more, because both are Christians. Now Paul touches on one of tte finest elements involved in Christian brotherhood, namely, co-operation. We are to live and labor together for a common cause. Pteading for his friend and brother, the young slave Onesimus, he says: m . “If,Thou Count Me a Partner, ReqeiVe Him” (w . 17-21). Partners share tte benefits' and the burdens of their joint enter prise. Partners in the gospel, like Paul and Philemon, shared not only spiritual blessings, but .alSo the re sponsibilities. Paul was presenting such an item to Philemon m the re turn of O nesim us., Something had to be dqne about the debt of Onesi mus, hi? failure as a servant. - Paul says, “Charge it to me, your part- her.” It has . been pointed out that there ts.h ete a blessed example of the important doctrine of imputation, which, is the -“act of God whereby fie accounts righteousness to the believer in Christ,” because he ‘!has borne the. believerfs sins in vindi cation of the law.” So we note that verses 17. and 18 perfectly illustrate imputation. Paul’s promise,: “I will repay it” (v. 19), w as:the legal phraseology, of .a-prom issory note in his day. It was a bonafide partisanship trans action, yet it was coupled with a-re minder of indebtedness. Everytbtog Phileinon had and was he Owed to^ Paul; but, says the latter, “I w ill' not speak of that nqw.” No right-thinking person is con tent always to bp on tte receiving end. The humblest, recipient of fa vor or tte sm allest child who feels the love of another w ants to respond. The considerate friend'w ill,-there fore, not always insist on giving,- but will, graciously (like Paul) open the way for co-operation, for:^partner ship.

DECEHUER11 1946 r iN Christmas Eve, Nancy hur- v ried breathlessly into her room- ling house. Surely the package from ftome would be there! But Mrs.- !Groggins, the ugly little landlady, shook Kbr head. • "Nothing,” she said. “The mailman went right by this afternoon.” Up in her room Nancy spent a .lonesome Christmas Eve. She read !•while to forget her hunger, then went to bed. Next morning it was the destitute Mrs. Wilson who awak ened her. • , “Merry Christmas, Miss Bell!” ■he shouted, walking into the room uninvited. Nancy was irritated, mo mentarily, by this, highly painted, ■hallow creature. But she quickly regained her composure. It was Christmas, after all! "It was swell of you, dearie, to pay Mrs. Groggins a week’s rent in advance last night,” Mrs. Wilson said, settling herself into the most comfortable chair. “I don’t know what would have happened, because I’m caught a bit short just now and couldn’t pay!” Nancy thought fast. ! Nancy said it was all right, that she had been glad to do it, but then she felt hungry and remembered there had been no dinner—and now no breakfast. AU because of Mrs. Wilson! "I was just about to drop out for a bite to eat,” her visitor explained; “and seeing you’re all alone, I thought you might like to come along.” Nancy remembered the lone 25- cent piece in her purse. “Thank you SoldiiiiljiJrsJilsonl" she an. swered quickly. “But I’m—I’m not feeling so well this morning. TH just haVe a cup of coffee in myroom!” About noon she dressed, for Jim was calling for her at one o’clock. What a ravenous appetite she would have. - But. one o’clock passed, and no Jim. Nor at 2 or 3, and Nancy’s spirits began to give way. Had he, too, chosen to punish her on Christmas? Downstairs she beard Mr. and Mrs. Groggins welcoming their guests for the day, and she took .a vicarious pleasure from it. -She heard the dinner bell, the clatter of dishes as they dined, and then the shufiBing of chairs as the well-fed guests retired to the Uving room. By that time it was five o’clock and Nancy sat by her window, figu ratively biting her fingernails. She was almost hysterical with fear, and she began to worry. At six o’clock she put on her coat and dashed down the' stairs, headed she knew not where. Perhaps to find- Jim, perhaps merely to escape her room. She reached the entrance, turned the knob and pulled open the door—and there was Jim, just arriving! Tearfully she threw herself into his arms, ^hivering from fright. “Oh, Jim!” she cried. “Where hgye you been?” ’ But didn’t you get my' message?” he askSd. “I had to work in the laboratory this afternoon, and telephoned Mrs. Groggins at 12:30!” Hisbrowwasfurrowed.. ■ Just then there was a voice be hind them. “Miss Bell!” It was Mrs. Groggins. “A . message for you. It came just before dinner, but •then our guests arrived and I didn’t get around to bringing it up.” Nancy took the slip from her hand, wiping away a tear. She heard Jim cursing. "Let’s get out of here, honey,” he • said, quietly. A short time later they were dining by candlelight while a string ensemole played soft Christmas mu- - Mc in the background. Jim looked up from is coffee and smiled, then reached into his pocket. - “There was a big package on your desk at the office,”. He said. “It came today. From your folks, I guess. Too big to carry with, me, but maybe this will take its place. He reached for her left hand, then for the second finger, and at its tip he poised a diamond ring. Then he looked at her, asking assent. “Yes, darling,” she said softly. “It’s the merriest Christmas ever!'

M., I flew to London in just 20 hours. A flight to London shows how the world' is growing smaller. Our relations with other countries are becoming much more intricate as the globe shrinks, and our great need is better understand ing which will beget wisdom.. For 20 years I have had a great personal interest in studying the secret of national prosperity, which of course is the sum of each individual’s prosperity within the na-' tion. This interest was first awakened, when in 1925 I observed the poverty of China, for the first time. More Than ResourcesCountries having equal'resources are- not always equally prosper ous. That is an axiom most of our people accept readily. They have come to know, sometimes subcon sciously, that our democracy is mixed of more, and perhaps finer, ingredients than statistical reports of national resources will show. Surely, what, makes one nation happy, peaceful, wealthy, need not make another nation troublesome and ripe for revolution from within. Truly, there are many ingredients in the recipe for national well-being. Uke Good Deeds Today,, when the popular catch word, even internationally, is ‘se curity,” we know that one of the most valued ingredients is prosperity. U people everywhere could un derstand and achieve the conditions necessary for prosperity, every hometneighbor and every world- neighbor would benefit. This is like a good deed that pays off for every body.Currently, the writer is concluding a stay of eight weeks in Europe; the full benefit of which the readers of this'column will have opportunity to share. On the itinerary are Eng land, NorWay, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzer land, and France. What is the Secret? The objective is to study political, economic, social,' and religious con ditions In each country, with a hope of arriving, at definite and signifi cant conclusions regarding the secret of individual and national prosperity. - ' If we can be surfl why it is that American wage garners and farm ers can purchase with their earnings two times as much food, cloth ing, shelter, and transportation as the workers on any other continent can purchase with their wages, we shall then understand the factors we must preserve as vital to all of us in our period of reconstruction. For awhile; I would like to be your European observer, for it is my con viction that some important lessonscan be pointed up by studying our continental neighbors. Ours is a great economy. U we in America can have enough foresight to co operate for the sake of production, our land can 16ng remain the land of freedom and plenty. Beginning next week, this column will survey postwar England, and will then proceed with some significant observations of continental nation*.

Weknow the sweetest name in all the world is Jesus, especially to alt who love and serve Him. reverence and a- dore Him, aud live to do His holy will. May that sweet sorig af the <ngels, which was snng <o the she- oheids about the Judean hills moie than nineteen centuries ago. when Chrirt was Iiorn in Bethlehem, thrill vonr hearts even now: “Glo ry to God in the highest, und on enrth peace, good will to men,” Ob, that the spirit of that wonder, fn] sons could fill every heart on earth'today! No nation would bate another; no individual would bate another; no individual would hate another. Instead of strife we would have the sweetest peace on earth possible. It jvOuld be Hbe the peace onr foreporents enjoyed in Bden before they disobeyed.God. Every home on earth wonld be a blessed, beautiful, happy Christian home. Nobody would hold an ill-will nor erudge toward another. Well, of courte this will only be when the devil is jbfound and cast into the pi* and W r Lord comes back to earth and sets up His kingdom and rules supremely in tha hearts and Iwes of all men. That will be a wonderful time. Halleluiah!

H e a lth D e p a r tm e n t A c- H v itie s Hie Staff Copferdace of the Diitrict Healdi Department was hdd fat Yadldnville, December 6. Miss Mabel Patton, Public Healdi Nursing Supervisor for diis dis trict was present at this meeting for consultation, having- spent a few days In this erea for die pur- pose of bringing die department up to date on paper work prce- dures. New in die departmxnt” are Mn. Vada Bedc and Miss Elsie C. Shalton. Mrs. Bsck recently join ed the department as deputy re gistrar and derk-typist, filling a vacancy created by die resigna tion of Miss Anne Clement, of Mocksville. Miss Shelton joins the department as a nurse to fill a long vacant position, in Stokes County. Hie resignation of Mrs. Jamie Leak Messickwas announced with mudi regret. After 13 years of faithful service as a public health nurse in Yadkin CountyMrs. Mes- side tendered her resignation for personal reasons, in order to be doser to her mother ,who has been failing in health and who is now infirm. Reports on sanitation' and health education wete rendered bv Mr. Cad E. Shell, District Sani tarian and.. Miss Mary Lewis, Health Educator. Dr. Mordecai, Health Officer, briefly reviewed the subject of res piratory diseases, including a dis cussion of die new Influenz^virus vaccine. He announced that die District Health Departmentwould undertake no influenza’ vaccina tion program at this time as no funds 'tave been provided in die local budget for ths purchase of this material. Avery limited sup ply may be purchased however, for local use and administered to applicants on a cost basis. Dr. Mordecai pointed out that the new Iiifluenia vaccine has been nicely perfected. Army experience has shown diet a single injection will protect^ from -60 to 85 per cent of those who receive it. The duration of die immunity confer red by one injedion is not fuily known but it is supposed to last for at least one season. It only protects against tru? influenza and will not protect against “common colds" and other ldnds of respira tory infections. It is being manu factured by commercial drughous- es and it can be readily obtained by all private physicians. Citizens are urged to take it as an influen za epidemic may start up at . any time. Dr. Mordecai discussed the re cent outbreak of whooping cough in some of die local areas. This disease has occasional a lot of ab senteeism in the schools and is causingsome doubt in die minds of die laymen as to the effective ness of whooping cough vaccine in as much as these school child- ten were supposed to have been immunized. 1 Dr. Mordecai points out however, that die records show that very few of the child-; ren now in adiool have been com' pletely immunizeb as die vast ma jority failed to show up for treat ment after the first dose, where as, at least two or three doses were required. No vacdnes are 100 per cent protective. About 15 per cent of.failuresare to be expect ed. Records show however that about 85 percent of the children who have been received die, re commended number does have been fuHy immunized against whooping cough. /TKe best te- sults are obtained In babies before they are a year old. Infants should be inocculated when 5 o>r 6 months oldr-and they should be given abooster dose one year latere G o in g H o m e T ie Greensboro “News bad aft In- cresting editorial a few days ago regarding tbe presence of Prances Perkins in public office. It is as follows: f> Republicans whc/object to what just now wonld seem to be ad in. terim appointments are said to be contemplating opposing the con firmation of Miss Frances. Perkins, former secretary of labor, as a member of the Civil Service Com. mission Thejobpays $ to, 000 a year. We are not going to believe the Republicans are neces-ari’y being either niggardly or na>-tv Miss Perkins ei her voluntarily left tbe cabinet or was chased therefrom by a Democratic Presi dunt. For our money she never knew any too much about her job as secretary of lobor. There is no room to believe that she is any better triforme'i as to what civil service is al.ont. ' Why should the Republicans confirm ber? Because she is a lady? Believe it or not tbere are are lots of ladies left in the country,’ many ot whom are eveta moi e serviceable than Frances Parkins' We see no reason why the Re publicans sbould take ber over as a part of the modus operandi of the federal administration wbicb they expect shortly, to inherit.

She couldn’t look up—to see jthe exchange of Santa Claus glances between beaming mothers ■and little boys. Once—was it but one Christmas ago?—a little hand •had held tightly to hers. ; She was jostled by the merry rush. Children with bundles, moth ers and fathers—and little boys!'He, ;too, had carried packages that iSeemed too large for him, last Christmas Eve. “Mumsie, what’s in this one?” he had asked, ex citedly, “It’s so-o-o fat!” So clearly now his question came to her, that she answered half aloud, “Oh, _ Billy, you just wait—until morning!” A dry sob, catching at her throat, seemed to steady her. She. must pull herself out of, it. At six- thirty her “Children’s Hour” must be on the air. “Fairy Godmother,” , the children had named her. Thousands of little figures, crowding close to the loud speaker, lis tened breathlessly. “Little soldiers,” she called these little pain- weary bodies. The Fairy Godmother shut her eyes. In imagination, her arms held her own little crippled soldier, who fought so bravely against infantile paralysis. But promises of Santa Claus must go out to them. Un consciously she ended with the words: “But you just wait—until morning!”. . . Unrecognized by her, it was bitterness that kept her from reading the scrawled, childish messages that came to her. Tonight the bas ket seemed to mock her. A tipsy little envelope, sliding from the* top, seemed to block her way out. She stared at it, stooped, picked it up. It clung to her hand, plead ing. From it she drew a soiled card and deciphered the words: "Dere fairy godmother, there is bugles with horses on them ain’t there. Nick in the bed next to mine sez no, won’t you pleeze tell Santa , to bring me one. My leg’s gettin better. Merrie Crismus Jimmy Dean, children’s hospitul.” Janet pushed through the crowds. Smiling eyes looked directly into' other smiling eyes. She was to buy i f if f t Santa Qlaos Has Olten Been Cruellf Murdered Many men: in history have murdered Santa Clause It was not long ago that AdOlf Hitler turned the city of the famous Manger Plays, Krip- penspiel, into Dachau, Uie most notorious concentration-camp; in aU Europe.

Janet Pnsbed Through the Crowds. * a buglf—with a horse on it! Two hours she searched, - fruitlessly. Then, like a flash it came to her. She would have a small horse sol dered to the bugle. Over-ruling the salesman’s objections that there wasn’t time, she emerged trium phant with the coveted gift. Again the words: “Munisie, what’s in this one? It’s so-o-o fat!” Breathlessly she entered . the brightly lighted room of Children’s Hospital, where the annual Christ mas party was almost over. She slipped the package behind'the tree and sank into a chair. Her eyes drifted vacross the room—to Jimmy Dean. Even if he had not heia a tiny bugle, she would have known him by the bravery behind the dis appointed eyes. And when one is an orphan, even fairy godmothers sometimes fail you. Santa was now taking up the package, saying, “This goes to Jim my Dean.” v Doctor Janet watched the transformation. on Jimmy’s face and eyes. It was like the look, Uce foe light in--her arms tightened, but foe child was gone. Bewildered, frightened, fascinated, she' stared at foe child in foe wheelchair.. The eager little hands fumbled with the gay ribbon, then foe biggest, shiniest bugle came into view. He hugged it to himself. “I knew, oh, I knew he would bring it if I askeo her to tell him!” Janet sat there, entranced. Nurses were taking their charges 'away, and Jimmy was out of sight. And then' somehow, she was run ning after him. P * CHRISTMAS ARIZimA . . .

A Merry Christmas it seems to say, A merry, happy, holy day! Stocking H anging A n O ld Custom ! Almost without exception foe chil dren of American will put up foeir stockings by foe side of foe chimney ' for Father Christmas ’ or Santa Claus. For generations children have gone eagerly to foeir stockings On Christmas morning to see what Santa Cfiaus has deposited in them. The origin has nothing whatever to do with Christmas. 'The custom’s only connection with Chtistmas is through Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas, or Santa Claus, foe saint who liked to do good by stealth, heard that three lovely sisters, who lived in a poor cottage on foe outskirts of town, were destitute. Saint Nicholas made his way to their home one night, and threw a gift of three gold pieces through foe smoke-hole of foe cottage. Instead of gold pieces falling on foe hearth, as he had expected, they fell into foe stockings of the girls, which had been hung up over the fire to dry after washing. Hence, when the tale became known, the custom of hanging up stockings over the fire came into being—in hopes; and Christmas Day was chosen for the doing, because it was Saint Nicholas' day.

By BERTHA MAE INBODT Young Dr. Janet Rhodes pulled the brown suede hat closer over her eyes. She couldn’t look up—to see I the exchange of Santa ; Claus I glances between beaming mothers and little boys. Once—was it but I one Christmas ago?—a little hand had held tightly to hers. _ She was jostled by the merry rush. Children with bundles, mothers and fathers—and little boys! He, too, had carried packages that seemed too large for him, last Christmas Eve. “Mumsie, what’s in this one?” he had asked, ex citedly, “It’s so-o-o fat!” So clear ly now his question came to her, that she answered half aloud, "Oh, Billy, you just wait—until morning!” A dry sob, catching at her throat, seemed to steady her. She must pull herself out of it. At six- thirty her “Children’s Hour” must be on'the air. “Fairy Godmother,” the children had named her.Thousands of little figures, crowd ing close to the loud speaker, lis tened .breathlessly. “Little sol diers,” she called these little pain- weary bodies. The Fairy Godmother shut her eyes. In imagination, her arms held her own little crippled soldier, who fought so bravely against infantile paralysis. But promises of Santa ClaUs must go put to them. Unconsciously she encfed with the words:, "But you just wait—until morning!"• • * Unrecognized by her, it was bitterness that kept her from reading the scrawled, childish messages that came to her. Tonight the.basket seemed to mock her. A Ijpsy little envelope, sliding from the top, seemed to block her way out. She stared at it, stooped, picked it up. It' clung to her hand, plead ing. From it she drew a soiled card and ,deciphered the words: “Dere fairy godmother, there is bugles with horses- on them ain’t there. Nick in the bed next to mine sez no, won’t you pleeze tell Santa to- bring me one. My leg’s gettin better. Merrie Crismus Jimmy.. Dean, children’s hospitul.” Janet pushed through the crowds. Smiling eyes looked directly into other smiling eyes. She was to buy S PROGRESS OF COAL STRIKE . . . Stanley Jarzabek’s smile turned to a more serious expression as'the coal strike continued. As seen in these two views'of the New Kensington miner, the first, left, taken as he left the Harmar mine at HarmarvIlIe, Pa. At right, after he had been ont on strike for several days and things didn’t took so bright. Many of the miners have been spending their “vacation” gathering wood. .SsjSSfiW Ltsrt CAVE MASSACRE TRIAL. . . In the second row are Col. Gen, Eberhart von Mackensen, left, and Lt. Gen. Kurt Meltzer, right, flanking an interpreter as their trial for responsibility for the Ardeatine cave mas sacre of 335 Italian hostages, many of whom were picked up at random' from people walking on the street, got under way. In front of them are members of Hie German defense council. Mackensen was command er of the Nazi 14th army and Meltzer, occupation chief in Rome. The trial is being' conducted at Rome. Janet Pushed Through the Crowds. a bugle—with a horse on it! Two hours she searched, fruitlessly. Then, like a flash it came to her. She would have a small horse sol dered to the bugle. Over-ruling the salesman’s objections that there wasn’t time, she emerged trium phant with the coveted gift. Again the words: “Mumsie, what’s-in this one? It’s so-o-o fat!” Breathlessly she. entered the brightly lighted room of Children’s Hospital, where the annual Christ mas party was almost over. She slipped the package behind the tree and sank into a chair. Her eyes drifted across the room—to Jiminy Dean. Even if he had not held a tiny bugle, she would have known him by the bravery behind the disappointed eyes. And when one is an orphan, even faiiy godmothers sometimes fail you.Santa was now taking up the package, saying, “TIuskgoes to. Jimmy Dean.” Doctor Janet watched the trans formation on Jimmy's fade and eyes. It was like the look, like the. light in—her arms tightened, but the child was gone. Bewildered, - frightened, fascinated, she stared at the child in the wheelchair. The eager little hands fumbled with the : gay ribbon, then the biggest, shini est bugle came into view. He hugged it to himself. “I knew, oh, I knew he would bring it if I asked her to tell him!” Janet sat there, entranced. Nurses were taking their .charges away, and Jimmy was out of sight. And then, somehow, she was run ning after him.

For generations children have.gone eagerly to their stockings on.Christmas morning to see what 'Santa Claus has deposited in them. I The origin has nothing whatever to do with Christmas. The custom’s only connection with Christmas is through Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas, or Santa Claus, the saint who liked to do good by stealth, heard that three lovely sisters, who lived In a poor cottage on the outskirts of town, Were‘destitute. Saint Nicholas made his way to their home one night, and threw a gift of three gold pieces through the smoke-hole of the cottage. Instead of gold pieces falling on the hearth, as he had expected, they fell into the stockings of the girls, which had been hung up over the fire to dry after washing. Hence, when the tale became known, the custom of hanging up stockings over the fire came into being—in Iiopes; and Christmas Day was chosen for the doing, because it was Saint Nicholas’ day. k WILD BLUE YONDER . . .

Mexican Christmas Eve is a pretty combination of the religious and the festive observance. There is a dance in every village until mid night, At the stroke of twelve the musicians play a mystical sacred melody, and everyone converges in. front of the “nacimiento,” or crib representation. How Washington Obserred Christmas in Viigima George Washington celebrated Christmas in much the same man ner as it is observed today. With his neighbors he attended Christmas Eve sacred services at the village church. On Christmas Day an elaborate and delectable dinner was served, followed by hours,of fun and merry-making, at which most of the neighbors took part. Rhythmic feet stepped the Virginia reel, followed by the jigtime of the country. - Cross Stitch Charm For Lovely Linens W VTOU needn’t envy your friend’s I lovely linens . • . for just se& what the simple cross stitch can do I The crocheting is beginner- easy. too!• * * pattern 890 has transfer of a 6% bv 21» two 6Va by 13»,i. eight 2V4-inch motifs; crochet directions.

MOCKSVtLLE N. C.. !DECEMBER J8. 1946 T AURETTE was dining alone in her apartment, while outside ithe tempo of a New Year's Eve celebration grew in intensity. ; It was quiet, sitting there by can* dlelight, a beautiful moment to re- Uect back over the 12 months just lending—except that tonight was so crucial! Tonight the vigil would end, the problem would resolve it-' self. But which way?- ! It was a strange thing they had done. Just a year ago tonight, whfle all New York was going mad welcoming the New Year with,rau- cous gaiety, they had been sitting in', this very room—yes, Harry over i there in the big arm chair and she,: Laurette, in the very chair she oc cupied at this moment. “Laurie,” •he used to call her; not “Laurette,” the batne everyone else used, but "Laurie,” the convenient abbrevia tion he fead invented. ‘Tm a failure, Laurie,” he had : said. “Five years on the same job with nothing to show save a thin- 'ning head of hair and an almost empty bank account.” Laurette remembered how she had tried to comfort him, and then the bombshell: “No, honey,” he had said flatly. “It’s no use. We can’t be married, for I’d merely be fastening a mill stone around your neck. I’m leav ing-leaving you right now!” She had cried, protested, and then he had agreed to make a game of it. His parting words, still vivid, were: "If you’ll wait a year, Laurie, dear—a year from tonight. If I’ve succeeded, if i’ve made something of myself by then, I’ll be back. A year from tonight. If not, well, probably you’ll never see me again.” She still remembered the firm set of his shoulders as he walked out the door that night, bound he knew not where. / She remembered the questions their friends had asked. Where was Harry? Away on a long trip she had replied, at first. Then she had ceased to offer excuses, and of course the friends stopped asking questions. Only once had there been word of him, and then only very Indefinite news. “I saw him getting into a cab on Market street,” Bill Collins had told her upon returning from a trip to San Francisco. “At least I think it was Harry. Saw him only an instant, though, and I couldn’t be sure!” Midnite came, and the noise reached a mighty crescendo. So tonight she was waiting. Only God and she and Harry knew how important was this New Year’s Eve. BiU Collins had asked her out for the evening but she said, no, she wasn’t feeling well and would stay home. Then he asked if he might drop around to her apartment and. she begged off. Bill had given her a puzzled look, but only God and she and Harry knew. . .. Laurette washed - the dinner dishes, brushed her hair and straightened up the living rooirt, be cause Harry used to enjoy sitting in front of the hearty with his pipe. At eleven o’clock there was a 'knock at the door, and Laurette’s heart jumped. But it was only the '.lady next door, pausing long enough to extend the inevitable “Happy New Year!” “What’s happy about it?” Laurette wanted to ask her. Sie picked up a book and tried to read, but it was no use. Midnight came, and outside the noise reached a mighty crescendo. At- that moment Laurette suddenly realized that Harry had failed her; New Year’s Eve was over, and he hadn’t kept the rendezvous! Then the telephone jangled and : Laurette leaped to answer. “San Francisco calling Miss Windsor,” said the operator. Then a long silence, while Laurette held her breath.. Hadn’t Bill thought he’d seen Harry in San Francisco? Final ly the operator came back: ‘Tm sorry, Miss Windsor, but our lines have apparently gone out somewhere. I’ll have to call you back.” Then Laurette had in idea. “Op-- erator,” she asked, “was that call addressedxjust to Miss Windsor? ■ Wasn’t there a first name?” "v “Why, I guess so,” came the reply. “Yes, here it is—to Miss Lau rie, L-a-u-r-i-e Windsor. That’s you, Istft it?” ' * ' ' ■ “I’ll say it is!” .Laurette shouted gleefully. “But only one person in the world ever called me that)” AUCTION SALE!

K s thinking revealed that he would like to see the compete crum- bliag of the present order and the ultimate nationalization of all Eng land. His discussion showed too that lie would thorough!)' relish fail ure at 'the capitalistic order” in America, which he boldly predicted would surely come within a few years. Notable thing about this young man is that he is very influential in the Labor government. Se talked freely and with spirit, and the en thusiasm he exhibited shows conclusively which school of thought in England is on the defensive. It is unfortunate when Tnith and Right are no'longer on the crusade, but instead must be called to the defensive. Influeiiee of Xouth I asked this young economist the secret of the growth of the Socialist party, in the United Kingdom. Dis playing political acumen which is engendered only from a thorough, understanding of reality and a knowledge of facts, this economist said that victory in the last election in close districts came because of the vote ot the young people. “In fact, the percentage of young people who voted the Socialist ticket was greater than the percentage of older people in the ranks of Labor,” he told me, adding a fact I knew already: that the growth of Social ism has been more rapid among young people and among skilled workers. The influence of higher education, he stoutfy affirmed, was a definite factor in the spread of Socialism throughout the Kingdom. I did not encourage him Sn this regard about America, but the paral lel was clear. I found myself wish ing that our own high sehools and colleges were doing a better job of building into the very fiber of Amer ican youth a deep appreciation for the fundamental principles of our American way of life, lest cur youth some day lead this nation down that same unfortunate road. Strange irony it is, that wealth created by honest work is used in the form of taxes and in grants as means to destroy the philosophy which begot our freedom and our wealth. Competition Needed Even the government officials in London do not seem quite sure that the principle of nationalization is sound. Some uncertainty exists, for they are already detecting basic ■weaknesses. During the week of July 15 a London newspaper quoted the London County Council as say ing that fiie London Trailsport (a government monopoly operating steer-cars and buses) needed com petition. In the same week an other writer stated his opinion that the British Broadcasting Corporation, the weaknesses of which were at that time under fire in Parlia ment, needed the competition of oth er broadcasting companies in England. Failure of the private enterprise ^System in America, our young econ omist said, would soon come because of the inability of business to operate at' a loss. This thing the government could do indefinitely, just for the sake of maintaining employment, he affirmed, insisting there is no limit to deficit financing available . to government - owned economy. I have never been able to con vince myself that Socialistic and Communistic minded economists could be sincere in advocating this philosophy, characteristic though it is of their thinking. If the principle were workable, why does not some Communist nation issue a million ,dollar credit to each of , its citizens and let them all enjoy wealth in a nation that cannot go broke?

Free Enterpriseat Work Those who forecast that the virual elimination of price con trol and a return so the free mark et would result in immediate' and nisasirous inflation were as badly fooled as will be those who think that prices'will return to “ normal” overnight What actually happened was that some prices rose in the 6 st flurv after decontrol, while some turned downward. The idea that the public would pay any price for anvthing was proven baseless. As Time put it. More and more sales clerks heard two long forgotten phra es: "How much is it?’ and No thanks.’ ” And in the last week of October, according to tbe Bureau of Labor Statistics, food prices decline.! as much as 4 per cent. .On tjpof that, there has been a very notices Ie improvement in tbe supplv-ot both manufactured goods and farm products. That simply means that supplies, are flowing thiough legitimate channels—and tbe .black market is expiring.

' The recent election? were he-id lined as a victory for the Repubii can party its firm of nrtional signi ficance since in it became .the n.i- nority partisanship, ho>ve\er, it is clear that the elections for the most part, indicated n strong Co hesire demand by- Ihe American people for sound Constitutional government free of the ‘ isms" which hate so long afflicted us. Tbe Democrats, as well as the Re Republicans, who won sea s in Congress and State governorships generally typified this point vie w.

Productive Business Not only in this locality, but throughout the country new busi ness bouses are not'ceable , in tbe cities, small towns and along tbe highways. In inflationary times anything useful finds a ready market. Ir competitive times the going’ is tough for the small man In com mercia! activity. Would it not be well for the inr vestor to consider the possibilities in productive, business and weigb bis chances of success over a long period of 'time? Thtre are many and varied type- of productive ' indust y in whicb men can invest their money, tbeir time and talents In such capacity they will not be mere money chang ers, but will be adding to the cumulative total of tbe wealth of the nation. There are many lines of prdduc tive business which are not crowd ed, an'l there is always room at the top, even for the man who can make a better mouse trap. But the greatest possibilities lit in the vast fields ot production yet untouched. The man who can do something original, which has not been done before, who can make something new and useful, is the man who is going to the top with tbe utmost acceleration It is the opinion of economic ex perts today that the man entering productive business has tar greater chance of ultimate success' than thse who enter commercial busi ness In productive business you make Spmetliimg for which the user pays. Productive business extends all tbe way from tbe person who.. grows products on tbe farm to the big corporations who make durable good. .

Federal Labor CourU The preservation of this natioo froru continued labor strife, with its disorders and economic looses, tbe creation ot a system by. ]obn C Knox, senior District Judge of the Southern District of New York. ■'When labor unions countenance strife and disorder,” said Judge Enox, "and when I . . they tole rate racketeering npon the part of tbe emotional appeals with whicL labor dins our ears, and insist that when labor speaks, it shall do so . ,* . with a consuming sense of its own responsibility to tbe well being Of our political social and econo mic life." ' Judge Knox then outlines a plan for a Federl Labor Court to cons sist of Chief Tndge and eleven As. soclate Judge and eleven Associate Jndges, to hold sessions in three kee cities. He suggests that in deciding a case, the court shall be be guided b~ certain definite prin ciples, of which tbe following are paramount: i No decree shall be inconsis tent which regulates m.-xitnnm heuis of labor on minimum rates of oay 2 . No employer shall be requir ed to pay to an employe any moni. es other than wages. 3. Confiscatory wages shall not be awarded. 4 . Awards shall not pireclnde a fair profit to tbe employer. 5 . The effort of a rise or tall In 'wages upon the general economy shall De considered, along with the adequacy of existing living stand ard. 6. In fixing wages, the court shall take into account an employ er’s past, present, and future pro fits. 7. The decrees of the court shall'be enforced by injunctions, re- ceivorships. and other legal means. As Judge Knox says, tbisisonly a suggestion. But it provides a gronndwork for study of a propo sal-which must be seriously con sidered by tbe American people.

The gospel is for . the whole world God wants all-men to hear and come to repentance (John 3:16; n Pet. 3:9). ' For the establishment of the great missionary program- with its world wide sweep, he called a man gift ed, prepared and anointed for that work, namely Paul, whose life and ministry have been our interesting portion these three months.Now we find him at the very center of the then Imown world to claim it for Christ. Politically, com mercially, socially and religiously, Rome was the very heart of the known world which centered around the Mediterranean sea (the name of which means “the middle of the earth"). Having preached almost everywhere else, Paul had a longing to face heathendom at its very center and claim trophies tor Christ and the gospel. Our Scriptures present: — L God’s Plan and Man’s Purpose (Acts 9:15; 19:21). Choice involves the thought of selection because of certain qualities or abilities. The Lord had prepared Paul for just this ministry, and now he ehose him to carry it out. That encourages us to believe that God is leading in the experiences of our lives, preparing us for the day when he will call and use us. Let us be yielded and ready. Our second Scripture (Acts 19:21) tells us that the plan of God was put into operation by the purpose in Paul’s heart God does not-have to depend on man to do his work, but he does just that! We may hin der his full use of us if we fail to purpose in our spirit to-do his will, as Paul did. God wanted. Paul in Rome. That was his plan, and that was the purpose of Paul’s heart. H. God’s Confirmation and Man’s Determination (Acts 23:11; Rom. I: 13-16; 15:22-24). Man needs to have his good pur poses confirmed by the ,Lord, and so it was in the case of Paul. He had been taken prisoner for the gospel’s sake. His trial had resulted in an uproar. Things did not look too promising for - him. Humanly speaking, there was a question whether he would get anywhere, let alone to Rome. In man’s hours of discourage ment God stands by with a good word. “Be of good cheer,” he tells Paul; “as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem so must thou bear witness also at Rome.” In his letter to the Romans, Paul expresses his determination to come - to them. There were hindrances, there was a contemplated trip to Spain (which he probably did not make), but in spite of all these things he would come in due time. The reason for that determination is tremendously interesting and per tinent to our own lives. He saw himself to be a debtor. The gospel had been committed to him, not as a deposit for his own good or . pleasure, but as something he must give out to everyone who had not heard, including Rome. - We, too, who know Christ are in debt to a world which has not heard of him. That includes the cultured, whom we often forget, and the un cultured, the men of every race— everyone who has need of a Saviour. The tremendous urge which moved Paul should be characteristic of every believer. Think what it would mean for the evangelization of the world if every Qiristian said: “As much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel” (v. 15). III. God’s Salvation and Man’s Declaration (Acts 28:28-31). - A slight change in the arrange ment of our Scriptures brings us to our concluding thought. God had sent salvation to the Gentiles and they would hear it' (v. 28), even if the preacher had to come as a prisoner,, for Paul came thus to Rome. How wonderfully God arranged it all, for Paul was given the privi- even as a prisoner, of .Uvingand grated orange rind. Cover and for two years under guard in a pri- cook over hot water Vt hour.

Here he'won his guards to Christ, many members of Cae sar’s official household (Phil. 4:22), and others who came and went as he preached and taught, “no man forbidding him" (v. 31).'1 - When man declares the gospel of salvation which God has sent, mighty things are wrought for the glory of God and the good of men. It is just that which we should be about with renewed zeal and diligence during the new year just ahead. We are in debt, and we must discharge our indebtedness by declaring to all that Jesus saves, keeps and satisfies.Best wishes for a most blessed new year! Tt may well be the most ' important year in all history. Let us I make use of it for the glory of God. SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS -to- W jahe eZW u J'Of .S c lio o i 8096 3-8 yri.

HEART Br JAMES EINSEX “A wonderful party!” Susan Blanke’s eyes were shining as she spoke. “I can’t imagine your Un cle Will giving a party—and on New /Year’s Eve, at that! This is one a puzzle that has me stumped!” Handsome Douglass Wilson, with whom she was sitting out the dance, nodded agreement. There was am ple reason for Susan’s bewilder ment. Never, until tonight, had his Uncle Will demonstrated anything but a piplete criticism for the younger generation. Even the most simple pleasures of youth had drawn his frown. But tonight, for no apparent reason, he had performed a complete about-face and opened his own home to Doug’s friends. The big, gloomy house, silent for years' save for the guarded tread of servants, rang tonight with gaiety and laughter! Returning from the city, Uncle Will had brought horns, whistles, silly caps and balloons for the party. And most amazing of all, tonight his usually grim face was wreathed in smiles. He seemed to be enjoy ing the evening like a schoolboy..“Its the most puzzling thing!” Susan repeated. She smiled as Doug pressed her hand, remembering suddenly how much she loved him, yet how difficult Uncle Will had made their re- - lationship. Doug had lived there in the big house since his parents died. Now, grown up, he was managing the estate. “Uncle Will just began making preparations for the party when he came back from New York,” Poug said. “But he hasn’t told me a word. I’m as much in the dark as you, Sue!”They were silent a moment. “I’m afraid that tomorrow he’ll turn back into Uncle Grouch,” he continued. "I just can’t remember Uncle Will ever smiling before. , . . But let’s talk about you. Darling, I don’t care if he is opposed to young peo ple getting married. I’m going to tell him the truth tomorrow. I don’t care if—” “So you don’t care, eh?” Uncle Will was suddenly standing beside them, his expression threatening. “You’re willing to defy me?” ' In the shadows they were unable to see the twinkling in his eyes. “Well, it’s the only thing we can do,” Doug answered hotly. “You— you’re so hard about everything, we have to defy you, since you put it that way.”“You don’t have to, son!” Uncle Will had come closer and placed an arm around each of their shoulders. “You can marry Susan just as soon as you want to—” “But, we don’t understand,” Doug gasped. “Why, only a week ago you said—”“I said those-things deliberately, children,” Uncle Will interrupted. “You see, there’s something I haven’t been able to ,tell you until tonight, Doug. When your father died, making me your guardian, he stipulated that you were to inherit his'estate only if you remained single until January I this coming year—that is, until midnight tonight. At the same time, for some peculiar reason, he stipulated that you weren't to be told about this provi sion—so if I’d let you get married sooner, you'd have lost everything. It was a strange provision Uiat he made in his .will,” he concluded. “But it’s worked out satisfactorily. ...” Doug was gasping. “And that’s why you’ve been so opposed to my marrying Sue?” he asked. “That’s right, Doug,” he nodded. “I’ve wanted so badly to tell you these past few months, but you see, I couldn’t—until tonight!” He pulled himself loose from their grasp. “Come along, you youngsters!” he shouted gayly. “I’ve thought of something to climax this party. It’s just two minutes to midnight, and I’m going to announce your engagement! Happy' New Year!” Japan Celebrates New Tear's Fourteen Days At least 14 days are needed in -Japan to celebrate the coming, of, the new year.

Debate o f Solar Years vs. Calendar Years Continues The earth evolves around the sun in exactly 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds: consequently, Leap Years omitted haphazardly might result in the sun running away from the calendar and too many Leap Years would speed the calendar on ahead of the sun. The Gregorian calendar, devised and Presented- Ip the world in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII, provides that years divisible by four—exclusive of the years numbering the centuries-? shall have 366 days. Calendar Revised Dafe Changed New Tear's Da; In 1582 the Julian calendar was replaced by the Gregorian in a proclamation issued by Pope Gregory XIII. This established January I as New Year’s Day. Our present calendar, known as the. Gregorian calendar, is based upon Pope Gregory’s revision of the Julian calendar and is more nearly in accord with- the solar calendar—the error being reduced to only one day in 3,323 years. Protestant states did not adopt the Gregorian calendar until the 18th century. It was not until the 20th century that Russia and others of the Balkan states decided to do likewise. Scotch Handsel Monda; D a; oi Gilt-Giving The Monday after New Year’s is traditionally the “big day” for Scotch boys and girls; and, in addition to being the Scotch day of. gift- giving, it' is a day of feasting and gaiety. Families and friends gather to “Drink a cup of kindness yet For Auld Lang Syne.” See New Year’s First Hanson island, a little British colony in the Chathams, 414 miles southeast of Wellington, New Zealand, will be the first to greet 1947. It is just east of the international date Ihie, from which all time' is reck oned. E ail; Scots Used Bible for Fortunes A glimpse into the future and the fortunes of individuals could be found in the Bible, the early Scots believed. The sacred book was laid upon the table, opened at random and a finger was placed on the printed page. The entire chapter was then read, and the message it held was believed to describe in some way the happiness or misery in store for the person concerned.

FEATURES Outside, the sidewalks were damp and slippery. Xt was late February. The sky was blurred with an ap proaching storm. McCale walked up Stuart street slowly, stopping to buy an early morning paper at the corner. He’d just had some mid-morning coffee with a couple of erstwhile private “eyes” and they’d told him in great detail of how Miss Ade laide Bigelow, of the Bigelows, had been traipsing from office to office for the “right” detective. Just what she needed a detective for, they didn't know, but it looked promising. To McCale it looked like hokum; besides, he wasn’t interested. He did not, at the moment, realize that the first pebble had started to roll, that even then he was being gently prodded into the relentless ava lanche of a big case. He stopped for cigarettes at a drug store and stood at the counter idly turning the pages of the newspaper. B-29s were at home over the Jap mainland, and the American fleet was tickling Jap shipping where it hurt. There was a complete blackout planned for the coming week end. On page ten, Mrs. Atkinson Keye, socialite, was off to Reno again. Business as usual. A Mrs. Mulligan of Roxbury had given birth to her twelfth child. And, wait a minute, under a misty photograph of a very debby deb, the caption: “Lydia Prentice of- Marlborough street and- Magnolia, one of the bride’s attendants at the wedding next Saturday of Veronica Perkins Bigelow to Curtin Vallaincourt.” So that’s all it was. A society wedding. He laughed soundlessly as he thought of Leach and Gar- rity making a big story over some old blue-blood who was, no doubt, looking for a couple of dicks presentable enough to mingle with a crowd of gilt-edged guests, while they kept a sharp eye on the wedding presentsf He did not have to be much of a sleuth to figure that one out. He chuckled at the mental picture of either of his so-called pals straining to look “to the manner bom” in such a situation. How McCtde Became a Private D etective As he folded the paper, his eye caught a word or two in the gossip column, “After Dark.” It read: “At the Latin Quarter last night Curt Vallaincourt, the handsome lad who is to middle-aisle it with Ver onica Bigelow next week, waited to vain for her to appear. He ended his wgil by lapping up Zombies with Shari Lynn, dMfe“torchy” singer from w . We didn’t know" Sew each other.”McCale frowned at the last allu sion. Too bad these keyhole lads had to spice everything up so. McCale’s office and living quarters combined were on St. James street, a bit far uptown for that sort of thing. They were to a block of old' brownstone houses, the last that remained in.that vicinity. Here, while they lasted, anyway. McCale was able to cling to ffie illusion that he was a cut above the average de tective. He admitted that ■ it was probably psychological—a complex ( with him. His background, surely, was worse than most. Bom to the scummier part of Chicago, he had been brought up among thieves and mobsters. At fourteen, he knew all the answers. To himself, he often admitted that he had a criminal turn of mind, but some peculiar twist had saved him from putting it into practice. It may have been the merest glimmer or craving for something finer than the obviously brief splash made by the racketeer, on top today, shot full of holes to morrow. But at sixteen he went into the world to find out if there was" any good to it. Somehow he discovered that-he had a love for books and a real aptitude for learn- ,tog. He worked his way through a Midwestern college. He took sum mer courses here, there, and wherever he heard of something that might interest him. And he was interested to many things. He woke one morning knowing that detection would be his career. Then he took a course to criminology at a famous university, sat to at lectures at police college, talked himself into a job with a rundown detective agency. After that, he bad set himself up as a private investigator. Cynical over police methods as he found them to practice, sick to death of the strike-breaking jobs, the divorce work, the undercover bribery, the questionable ethics of many of the men masquerading as honest investigators, it was the only !thing for him to do. Chily a few clients had come his way. But it :was worth it. McCale was small and dark and smoothly articulated. His hair was shiny and black; his eyes, inclined ito be withdrawn one minute, would ,quicken with a peculiar glint the ‘next. His mouth was too large for the countenance it graced, and, in repose, a trifle sardonic. But when he smiled or laughed, it tit up his whole face to a most disarming way. The dominant feature of the complete picture of Duke McCale seemed to be a nerveless quiet, but .often there would come a fine Italian-like gesture, fleet as an ar row, that bespoke the closely guarded energy of a coiled spring. He was nearly at his own door step when he noticed it. An antique limousine, broad to the beam and high to the tonneau, was drawn to the curb before his door.. McCale opened the waiting-room door and stepped inside. The room was empty. The faded carpet and real leather chairs, stared at him blankly. The wine velour draperies were pulled back to let to what daylight there was. There were fresh yellow flowers in a squat white bowl on his secretary’s desk, but she wasn’t there. He was thinking that it looked very quiet, very nice, not like a de tective’s waiting room at all, when Ann Marriot came to. She closed the door of the inner office, giving him a warning look. Ann Marriot was the type of girl you might pass by at a first meet ing, but when you knew her better, “Miss Bigelow?” His sharp eyes took her to at a glance. you became aware of her attrac tiveness. Her features were nice— gray eyes set far apart; a straight but not too small nose, and a good- sized mouth. She ran to intelligence and tweeds and her ash-blonde hair always imparted the fragrance of carnations. McCale caught a whiff of it now, as she handed him an engraved calling card. It read: Adetoide Perkins Bige low. W etdthy O ld Lady Appears Troubled “Miss Bigelow is waiting to your office,” said Ann. “Why to there?” McCale asked, lowering his voice.“Well,” she answered, flushing slightly, “it’s nice in there. There’s a fire to the grate and the big chair and—books and things.” “Ah, I see. You are duly im pressed by the royal presence.” “Not at all,” she rather snapped “She’s quite nice. Did it occur to you I might want to impress her?” McCale smiled. “Bless you, my child,” he said as he went in.There was a fire burning briskly to the fireplace, throwing tight and shadow on the simple decorations —the big chair with its accompanying side table, well-filled bookcases lining the walls. The lamp on the desk was tit, for it was darker to this room.A tittle old lady, quietly dressed, turned to the act of reaching for a book, to face him. “Oh,” she said, nearly dropping it.“Miss Bigelow?”. His sharp eyes took her to at a. glance. Sie was small, almost birdlike, and nervous to a fiuttery way. She had a fine, delicately modeled face, too delicate, perhaps,, to be' impos ing. Yet there was evidence'In her carriage and to her manner of dig nity and stubborn strength. Mc- Cale was aware, too, of a certain uneasiness, a lurking apprehension behind the too bright eyes that he could not attribute to surprise at. his sudden entrance nor to her be ing out of her milieu in a detective’s office.“I ' was ^interested to your li brary,” she floundered: “I expect ed you—” »“To look quite different?” McCale frowned. “More tike a doctor or college professor, perhaps?” “,Why. . . .”“That’s all right. None of us can choose his personal appearance.. If I could, I’d be quite a different- looktog person, I assure you.” ThdTe was something ingenuous about the way he said it. Then he smiled and everything was quite all right. “It isn’t that at all.” She was just as candid. “You’re quite nice- looking, really. It’s just that an the detectives I’ve ever seen—that is—er—heard about—are rather big and brutal-looking—and tough.” McCale wanted to answer that, all things considered, he was prob ably just as tough—that he just wasn’t big. But he didn’t. She seemed, for a moment, at a ,loss to begin. The old eyes searched his anxiously, and were withdrawn, as if the brain behind them was confused and helpless. He knew that there was desperation there, that it was difficult for her to play a part, but that she had determined to play it. He waited, and the si lence to the room lengthened. He saw that she was still searching for an integrity behind the flash of his exterior. He saw the tight go out of her eyes and realized with chagrin that she would not tell him what was gnawing at her mind, that she had decided to risk acquiring his aid only to part. “My niece is to be married next week, Mr. McCale. Perhaps you have heard of her?” “Yes, indeed. Veronica Bigelow. Her pictures are very lovely.” Held never seen one! She . brightened considerably. “She is lovely. My favorite niece, Mt. McCale. She’ll be very wealthy, too. My brother’s child. The wed ding, of course, will be at Trinity, but the reception is to take place at the family’s town house. There are a great many beautiful and priceless gifts on display. They will have to-be guarded night and day.” Guarding Gifts Pays Well . “The police,” ventured McCale. “Pshaw! The police.” She became more assertive. "We don’t want plainclothes men all over toe house. They’d stick out like sore thumbs. I want someone quiet and unobtrusive—just—just someone—” The old voice faltered and trailed off. McCale looked at her attentively. “Of course. I’m quiet and unob trusive and inclined to bp.helpful.” She dropped her eyes. “I—I think you’re the man I want.”,“It doesn’t exactly take brains to watch over a table of wedding presents.” 'I know that. But if something were stolen, if something did hap pen, you’d have to investigate, wouldn’t you?” McCale glimpsed then, for an in stant, the whirlpool of events to come. There was something to that remark alone that piqued his curiosity. He made up his mind. “That will be twenty-five dollars a day,”_ he said, and added meaningly, “for guarding the wedding gifts.” But she would not rise to his bait.

DECEMBER 25 ,946 CHRISTMAS, V A TE YARROW had so often heard neighbors remark that sh* would be an old woman before ■her time, that she had begun to think of herself as quite middle* aged. Actually she was not quite 30, :nor had her full days as mistress .of the Yarrow household turned her. 'hair gray or her cheeks wah. Sometimes, since she had taken, lher mother’s place, Kate did think she was imposed upon. But ■ she blamed no one. Her father was : generous enough with the money, and she had Martie in the kitchen and old Sam for outside work. But .five inconsiderate younger brothers and sisters, a preoccupied father and a grumbling grandfather made, ,a household that required supervi sion. For the past two years, Kate I thought, there had really been no ‘Christmas. But this year would be j different. The brothers, ,alliii board- :ing school .or'college, had accepted ,invitations to spend the holidays I Wth room-mates. One sister was I visiting an aunt, and the other hac| ; gone south With her exacting but ! youthful grandfather. 'And Kate’s : father was spending the season with i a thoroughly capable widow who, it . had been whispered, he was con- . sidering as a possible second wife. I Bin did not neglect his privilege. So as soon as the last member oi j her brood had faded down the drive- j way, Kate told Martie and Sam to j take a two-day vacation — and then j settled back to spend Christmas by .herself. She ran into the capacious j living room and with a completely I undignified leap planted herseU !sprawling upon the divan. Every one but Kate sprawled on that divan. Kate never had time. Now she would begin the Christmas holidays by staying tftere for hours. Before dinner-time she donned her best red evening frock and over this her smock. Then she went down to the kitchen to make herself a meal, admitting for the first time that it was rather lonesome in the old house. She heard loud rappings OH the old brass knocker, and went to open the door rather timidly. But her timidity gave way to annoyance. There was her older brother, Tom, who had started that morning ostensibly to pass the holidays with a group of bachelor friends. And here he was, back— with five young men in tow! They were heavily laden, turkey feet protruding from one of the bundles. “Well, we began talking it over,” Tom said, “and decided Christmas at the club would be a frost. So I asked the fellows to come home with me. I was afraid you wouldn’t have things for the feast, so we stopped and got what we thought you’d want. Bill, here, even got mis tletoe, though I told him there’d be no pretty girls!" Then, turning to one of the young ; men whom Kate had never met, the .tactless brother went on. “Bill, (his is my sister. Now I’ll run along and get the car in the garage. And, sis, you might take the fellows up and show ’em where you want ’em to sleep!”. Bill alone of the young bachelors noted the look of disappointment on Kate’s face. Later, after she had prepared an impromptu Christmas Eve supper and laid aside her smock, she heard Bill say from the Other end of the table? “I thought Tom said there would be no pretty girls here. Boys, let’s drink a toast to Sister Kate!” It was past midnight that night when Kate left the kitchen. 1Kie boys had helped with the dishes under Bill’s orders, but there would. be pies and puddings to make for' the next day and Kate knew she would have her hands full. She was up early to prepare the festive : breakfast, and all iSay she worked in the kitchen.

FLO Y D N AY LO R, M anager It was late Christmas night when she had finished the last work in- the kitchen. As she passed through ( the hall, Bill stood waiting for her. I lliere, above them, hung the mis-J tletoe — and Bill did not neglect his privilege. ; “It isn’t just because of the mistletoe,” he told Kate, holding her still close to him. “I loved you when I first saw you. It has been outrageous for us to impose on vou this, way.” “It’s all' been worthwhile, Bill,” Kate replied, “because I’ve made myself believe that I: was doing it • 0 for you—alone!” V I :I* * * t I w a n t e d W a n te d T o B u y H i c k o r y T i m b e r On The Stump Or Cut And Delivered At My Factory At Courtqey X H .

She had Just returned to the kitchen wh*n • knock came at the door. It was her neighbor, Hattie Jamie son, decked out in her finest. I “Aren’t you the one,” Hattie ex claimed, “washing clothes on ’'Christmas Day!” 1 Mary conceded it wasn’t the best way to pass the day, but added that it must be done. ' ' "I wonder if you’d do me a fa vor?” Hattie asked. “John and Fanny have asked us to come to town for Christmas- dinner and the tree tonight. You know, times were a little tough for Henry and me tins' year, so I took those two little StatQ orphans to board. Now, I don’t want to leave them at home alone, and Fanny wouldn’t want them to come mingle with her youngsters.” She sighed faintly. “Would you let them come stay with you for the evening?” "Why, of course,” Mary replied, smiling. “It will make Christmas for me, who was spendin’ it alone; What time will they come?" “Fanny’s sending the car for us about five o'clock, and we’ll drop 1 them off here on the way.”- ' After Hattie had left, Mary mused . that she didn’t suppose the Lord thought Fanny’s children too good to mingle with these two orphans, but after a moment she realized there was much to be done. By flvq o'clock she had walked to the store : and spent her few pennies on two tiny pair of red mittens, which were now !banging on the little sprues . tree Mary had cut in the back yard. JUid in the kitchen a hot, hearty supper was waiting. Mary sat in the living room, wait- , big. “Lucky I did that extra wash, ing today, so I feel justified spend ing those pennies on the youngsters. 'Those children must have a Christ mas, and maybe—" she sighed—“I shan’t have a home-another year!” Waiting there in the old rocker, her head dropped slowly, and Mary Crane fell asleep. . . .• * * "One thing I’d like to do before din ner,” rich old Andrew Craig said to his wife. “S’pose there’s time? You remember Mary 'Crane had :some tough luck a few years back. S ie borrowed money from the bank on her house and couldn’t keep up , the payments. Well, the directors 'decided not to give her any more I time. "AU tall and bright and—and IMautUnI." "I couldn’t help remembering our lean years, Sue, when Mary was our neighbor and worked day and night to pull you through pneumonia. So I just gathered in that debt— it was only a few' hundreds—and had some papers made out to Mary. Fd kind of like to take them out to her on Christmas night.” Sue pulled his head down and ldssed him. “It will, take just 10 minutes to pack a basket for you to take along,” she reckoned swift ly. “If you drive there and back in half an.hour, you can do it. Re member, we have guests coming!” It was snowing when Andrew alighted from the car. A. lamp showed him Mary’s, kitchen through the window, thtf cheery tree, and' the sleeping old lady. He tip-toed hi and placed his basket on the table, papers on top. The latching of the door aroused Mary. Her small guests rushed in a few minutes later to find Mary' holding the papers to her heart, her face alight, with joy. „ “Merry Christmas, Mary,” cried the little girl. “There was a man on . your steps when we came down the lane. We saw him plain as could be!’' “You’re right,” said Mary. “An drew. Csaig is a man, if ever there was one.” “Not the man' in the fur coat,” insisted the child. “It was another just behind him. AU tall and bright I and—and beautiful.” " “Well,” said Mary., ‘Tm not sur prised. Some folia might say it i was shadows and lamplight ah snowflakes, but”—tapping the papers—"wherever there’s things like i this goto’ on Christmas night, I’m persuaded He’s there!"
