Now a funeral procession may mean little or much. When a rich and powerful man dies, people play politics and attend his funeral for various reasons.

The reason so. many people-iined up behind the hearse that.held tbe hearse that held the kind old man's mortalitp' was simple: they. loved him! He devoted his' life to help­ ing'people. In a very simple way, without money pr worldly .power, he gave of the gentleness of his heart to all around him We are apt to say money, talks, but it speaks a broken, poverty stricken language. Hearts talk better, clearer and with wider in­ telligence. Tbis man with the soft voice and kindly manner knew tbe language oMhe heart and spoke it. where it would give zest to joy. He worked manfully and with a will in his seusion of the vineyard, and against odds and discouragements he won time and again. He . was infinitely patient., and brave. He held a simple, old fashioned" faith, in God and bis loving.kindness.- When others gave money—which was of their store—he gave prayers, bard work and an inspiring cour­ age. He helped. Inhissphere he was a power] And so, when be lav down to sleep, hundreds of friends trudged ont to bid bint good, by with moist eyes and with cramped throats to wish him sweet slumber.

A questionnaire sent out to man­ ufacturers all over the country by the magazine'Mill-and Factory ef­ fectively refutes, the Nathan re port to ^hilip Mhrrav that , be­ cause the earningSjof all corpora­ tions in the country add up to ap­ proximately $12 billion,-each indi vidnal ,corporation must he prapor tionately prosperous, and can. con­ sequently, afford the wage increas- es that the C.I.O. will demand. Mr Nathan apparently - forgets that the total business of tbis coun Irv is done by snnib 420,000 corpo­ rations qf all sizes and dealing in all kinds of prod nets: In assum iue that all of those' corporations shared in.the. Profits he quotes, Mr. Nathan is taking in entirely too mnch tern terv. . The National City Bank of New Yorkt -Using United States Treasury figures on this point, shows that an average yeer only slightly mote than 50 per' cent 1 f the 4.20,000 corporations operate at a profit. The others operate at a deficit. This year, those operating at de- ficitis or with extremely narrow margins of profits are tbe vary ones in which the C.I O’, plans to make its. demands.for higher wages But -the C I 0. is organized in the form of labor monopolies. . ft cannot, therefore, call for wage increases in the profitable units and not in the unprofitable ones. . By the very nature of its monopoly it mug call for uniform increases in all units, regardless of their -ability to pay. On rhis poin' the Sutvev by Mill and Factory shows that only .five per cent of the manufacturersqner. ied admitted that production had improved enough to enable them to at sorb wage increases without rais­ ing prices. The other 95 per cent said they, conld not possibly ab­ sorb wage increases of any amount, Theywonld have to raise their prices from five to ten per cent Such a price advance, they feared would raise the Ieviqs above the a- bility of the general public to pay, and consequently sales wouid drop off. g-ime manufacturers estimat ed the decline in sales as low as io per cent, but others foresaw, a shrinkage of' jmore than 20 par cent.: ...■ 1 ■ Such a shrinhage couid resnlt only in the dismissal of a - corres ponding number of employees. Ii will be seen, therefore.- that the C.I.O. program would lead, nowhere except .to another piice spiral,, a de­ cline in .sales, and unemployment,.

This department has often dis­ cussed its /opposition to harmful St ikes on the part of Jabdr,.strikes which hurt and cripple tlfe conn, try’s economy and work hardship upon thousands of innocent citi zens. But one strike with wTiich we are in complete sympathy is that which was staged recently by teachers in one of the nation’s lar­ ger cities. . It.is to no one’s credit that our teachers, here as well as elsewhere, are so badly paid that it is a down, right disgrace. Teachers, who mus' train through long years to meet tbe reqairethents of their import­ ant profession, are in many inscan ces paid much less than t lie com­ mon laborer, who needs oniy bra »n and a few simple tools to plv bis trade And the nnusual naft of r is, everyone recognizes the impor - ant part teachers play in the' edu­ cation And'gnidance of our 'coun try’s children, yet although we talk atont it a great deal, and He. plore it to high heaven, we do - Ii'- tlc or nothing about it. - One would think tbe education of our children would be of major' importance to everyone - Yetwhen -legislatures meet. it’s, usually the highways or some other project that gets the big money while the teachers continue to go begging as far as salaries are concerned. Anyone who remembers the pro. bicm faced in seeming sufficient teachers here, this fall to comple’f- faculty Tolls, wilt realize that the taachlng profession is plagued with shortages like everything else. And the reason, it has been' said, is he cause, many teachers fed up with working for low salarie,, have tuf. ned 4 0 other types Of endeavor rath­ er than try to make a living on the pittance tbev now receive in a time wben p.ices have skyrocketed and the value of the dollar has shrank drastically. Other, persons, who might turn to teaching as a profes­ sion if it paid a reasonable return for the education and other re qnirements necessary, take up otli- erw ork, and the educational needs of the uhtiou’s children go begeing or are left to those who are' per haps less suited to teaching than they should be. Why must -we continue to slighr our teachers when their worth ia so universally admitted? Wby do we talk, so much about, their low pay, yet do nothing about it? - Why canhot a state in as sound finan cial condition as our own adeqnia'e- Iy cotnpensute.irs teachers?. Maybe some d^y -there will be an answer. .. For onr own good and the good of our children, we would say the sooner the bettar. Cofion Crop Estimate Is Cut Still Smaller The Department of Agriculture has issued its latest forecast on tbe 1946 .cotton crop, /predicting that the United States wrill produce 8 , 482.000 hales, !

At the same time, the -Census Bureau announced ttiat 7.365.914 bales had been ginned of the pre­ sent! crop prior to December 1, com paring with 7,382,667 bales to the same date last year : to December 1 comparing with 367,619 Iast yearC Despicethe small apparent crop, the price of cotton'has been barelv holding its own; This is-said to be simply because the. world' sap.' ply is fully, equal to tbe demand.

He suf­ fered a heart attack some time in November and now is resting in the Crimea. i This fact has been made the sub­ ject of an official report to the state department. This last heart attack Is the second suffered by the man who has ruled Russia so long. Last winter he also had to go to the Crimea to recuperate from an illness. Stalin is now 67 years I old, but has crammed more di- ! versified life and hardship into i those years than any . other / world leader. I Stalin was imprisoned and exiled to Siberia eight times, and the years have taken their toll.: He was not play-acting when he held up Church­ ill and Truman by staying" in bed one dayyat Potsdam. It is generally expected that For­ eign Minister Molotov will succeed Stalin.• * * * ,THE REAL-ESTATE LOBBY Next major lobbying drive In . Washington will be against rent con- ' trols,■ only control measure which survived President Truman’s sweep­ ing OPA decontrol order. The President has decided to elim­ inate OPA completely, and has on his ■ desk an executive order trans­ ferring rent control to the depart­ ment of commerce. The real-estate lobbyists know they can’t get even a Republican congress to repeal rent control. So they’ve decided on a new tac­tic. Ilie lobby is drawing up a bill which would transfer rent control from the federal govern­ ment to the states. ; This will be.advanced as a “states’ rights” and ‘‘economy” measure. The result, however, will be the same. Twelve states now have no rent control, and in other states most control laws are elastic.* * • • LAME DUCKS PLAT INDIANS. Twice in recent weeks, President Truman has been , visited by con­ gressmen who asked him to appoint ’ friends on the new Indian claims commission. Sen. Joe O’Mahoney of Wyoming urged the appointment of , Louis O’Marr, attorney general of Wyoming, while Representative Bill Stigler of Oklahoma brought along his candidate—Justice Earl Welch of the Oklahoma Supreme court, who is part Chickasaw himself. The President made no commit­ ment beyond saying he intends to announce the make-up of the new !commission soon. He did apologize to Stigler, how­ ever, for the delay in making the' ■appointments. Wbat Truman did not explain ' was that he also had'been urged to wait to see whether any worthy Democrats, defeated in the election, might want the job. The names of lamednck con­ gressman Will Robinson of Utah, an excellent man, and Jed John­ son of Oklahoma, who lost out on a chance to be a custom court judge, now have been suggest­ed. The commission is one which will require a topflight staff, since it will have to.pass judgment on all Indian claims which have not gone into the courts. ,There is absolutely no statu­tory limit on the age of the claims-r which means that'if an Indian tribe' wants to claim that it haslegal righft to the entire territory of the State of Utah, the commission may have' , to hear the argument.* * * NEXT GOP CONVENTION Although the Republican national convention is two years off, several cities already are pressing GOP mo-- iguls fdr the privilege of helping nom­ inate the man they figure ,will be the’next president-of the U. S. Rep. George Bender, Ohio con- gtessman-at-large and heati of the Cleveland Republican committee, appeared before the national, com­ mittee to propose Cleveland as the convention site. / As soon as Bender proposed Cleve- • land for the convention site, Comr mitteeman Werner Schroeder of Ilil- . ntfis asked, “Isn’t it true that Ohio has a couple of candidates for the nomination? Don’t you think it might be better to meet'on neutralterritory?” 1 “Is there a state that doesn’t have a candidate?” asked Bend- ■ er. “If you’re going to rul^ out states with candidates, abont the '' only place we could bold the 1948. ' (SOP convention is Miami.”. - POSTMASTER JIM MEAD?The White House is afraid that ; if Bob Hannegan resigns both as postmaster "general and Democratic national chairman the Republican senate'may refuse, to confirm any- one who is to serve in both jobs. .yOne man the senate would confirm,\ however, is Sen. Jim Mead of New York, who lost, out in his bid .for governor of New York. The senate rarely questions the appointment’of any senator or former senator to an official post; Moreover, Mead is considered a postal, authority. HONORED FOR LANDING SYS­ TEM . . . Tbe Robert J.

FEATURE'S - Soke McCale, private detective, has established an enviable reputation in Bos­ ton In a short. time' by ,solving some' difficult cases. Ue is consequently sur­ prised and.' Chagrined' when Miss Ade­ laide Bigelow, extremely wealthy and aristocratic old lady, engages him to guard the presents during the festivities surrounding her niece's wedding. McCale accepts the commission only because he senses that Miss Bigelow is afraid of something, and that she wants a com- petent detective around the house in case of some outbreak. "If something were stolen, if something did happen, you’d , have to investigate, wouldn’t' you?” in­ quires Miss Bigelow, meaningfully. Mc- Cale grasps the obvious hint ' CHAPTER H A nursemaid’s job to a lot of iced- tea spoons. “Phooey!” The big young man hitched his long legs over an arm of the chair and snort­ ed in irritation: “Holy Mike! What are we—broke? I thought we were definitely out for the big stuff—no more small time. I run my legs off getting dope on this Val- laincourt guy—and what for? What has the bridegroom got to do with seeing that the friends of the fam­ ily don’t snitch all the silver plate? I suppose you expect him to run around the corner to the hock shop with the punchbowl between the ceremony and the reception.” Ann Marriot came in on the last part of the harangue. She set a coffee percolator on the desk, and busied herself with cups and ,sau­ cers.“Keep your shirt on, Tiny,” she said to the big fellow. “Duke has a hunch. Why not let him do the talking? We only work here.” Rocky made appropriate^noises, adding, “So this is a conference?” “What did you think it was—the wedding breakfast?” “All right, all right. So Duke has a hunch. Go ahead, master-mind. Go into your trance and tell us all.” McCale helped himself to a sand­ wich. “There isn’t anything defi­ nite, Rocky. The old lady Bigelow, aunt of the bride; comes in here -to hire special service—that of guard­ing the wedding gifts. That’s her story. But look here. She doesn’t want half a dozen men planted here. She’s after only one incon­ spicuous man; not for the day of the wedding, but starting now—for the. duration. That in itself is screwy. Besides that, she doesn’t want the police and she’s turned down operators from all the big agencies. To top it off, she acts as though the Four. Horsemen of the Apocalypse were . tracking her down.” Rocky’s eyes narrowed. “Skip­ ping the mythology, maestro, I think I do see a glimmer of light. In other words, she doesn’t give a hang if the wedding feast is lousy with kleptomaniacs. She’s got oth­ er troubles.” “Exactly.” . “Go to the head of the class,” said Ann. “Well, where do we come in?” McCalef accepted coffee from' Ann and lit a . cigarette. He spoke into the first puff of smoke. “You’ve got me there. I’m not sure the lady knows herself, but it’s certain she wants someone around. We’re elected, anyway. So my first move is a' file on the family and the" dashing' bridgeroom, just in case. What did you get on Curt Vallaincourt?” Mystery Surrounds Vallaincourt “Not much, I’m afraid.” Rocky flipped open a notebook. “Showed up'around these parts about a year ago. He’s from New York City, or so he says. Definitely not Harvard nor Blue Book. Seems to have plen­ ty of dough. Lives in a swank apartment on the Riverway. Doesn’t work.- Goes, everywhere with.the society crowd. The gals all do cart­ wheels whenever he shows up any­ where. Anyway, he’s marrying twenty, million dollars next week. Make anything mysterious out of that?” McCaIe shrugged. “Plenty if I wanted to let it run away with me.” He turned to Ann. “Did you line up; the Bigelows for me?” “Well,’’ .she began, “the Perkinses and the Bigelows go right back- long before the Tea Party—if that’s the sort of thing you want.” ‘Skip that. Bringus up to date.” ‘Okay. The money all comes from cotton mills in Lowell, and clipper ships and the Oriental trade before that. The .Perkinses and the Bigelows intermarried, and so - on. Adelaide Bigelow, our client, and her brother, Joei; .are and were, respectively, the last of the line. Adelaide never married. Joel mar­ ried twice'. His first wife, is dead. Is that clear?” “Perfectly.” . “Joel’s second wife, Sybil, is ap­ parently not of the royal purple. Her family only seems to go back a generation or two. Probably she was considered fast or nouveau riche or something, as she-was a widow when he .married her. She’s a lot younger than he, ,too.” . ; “Where did you. get the nouveau riche stuff?” ' ^ ,“Oh, I didn’t. Just'surmise. In fact, I don’t'know Whethef she has any money of- her own, or not. He was -seventy when he died; five years ago, .and she was forty-three then.- She -had' two children by hef marriage,': a son, Stephen, and , , daughter, .Victoria. Their name j was Bennett, but he adopted them: and they changed to the /Bigelow surname.” “Then Veronica, the bride, is a daughter of this second marriage?” “No. The first Mrs. Bigelow died in childbirth—that is, in giving birth to Veronica. The old gentleman married Sybil Bennett three years after. Am I bawling this up?” “No, indeed. It’s very clear. Go on.” “There’s not much more. Stephen was married two years ago. He didn’t go to Harvard or Groton, like the rest of the Bigelows. M.I.T., I believe. He’s an airplane designer at present,. Helmarried a girl from St. Louis-J-Swedish descent, but so­ cial and- all that. A Karen CristofenV Not much fuss around here about it.” : ~ ' “What’s that?” He’picked up a folded square of paper that had fluttered from her lap to the floor. “Oh, I nearly fogrot that. It’s a rotogravure cut of Veronica Bige­ low from the Sunday Herald of a few weeks ago.” McCale unfolded it and spread it flat on the top of the desk. The likeness of a very pretty girl looked up at him. It was a -carefully light- She held up a long legal envelope that had been lying beside the model. , — , ed study of the photographer’s con­ ception of how a weU-groomed, quiet, aristocratic young woman should pose. “That really doesn’t do her jus­ tice, I should say,” mused Ann. “ I understand she has gorgeous red hair and a beautiful figure.” “Well, we shall see,”-said Duke, handing it back to her. ’ “Tuck it away with the rest of the data and transcribe Rocky’s notes for a file on Vallaincourt. I’m due at the ancestral mansion for tea with Miss Andelaide at five—ojr thereabouts.” “Whee!” It was Rocky. “No­blesse oblige and old pewter mugs.” “Quiet, stooge. You and Ann hold the fort here. I don’t even know whether our client expects me to take over twenty-four hours duty or not. I’m darn sure she’s not really worried about the wedding: pres­ ents. It by any chance she is, you' may have tq put on crepe soles ana pussyfoot around there through the wee small hours. I’ll call you.” McCale Senses That Someihings Amiss The Bigelow house was on that mound of Beacon street that slopes gently to • Charles street' and the Gardens. .It was almost in the shadow of the State House .dome and you could have thrown a pebble easily from the front stoop onto the' paths' of the old Common. Four stories high, its narrow dusty brick facade gave the lie to the roominess Bnd depth' withili. Adelaide Bigelow was waiting for McCale in the drawing room on the second floor. A butler, old and quiet and unobtrusive, had answered! his knock and led him through a dim hallway, preceding him up dark, thickly carpeted stairs.' • The room-was'at the front of the: house. Heavy red draperies at the wideN high windows were, already" drawn. Frail Miss Bigelow; stood in its exact center,' small and patri­ cian, against the background of a huge black marble mantel. ' He bowed slightly, and- as she. sank onto a Victorian sofa, he made' a half-hearted gesture of fumbling, foe a cigarette. A clock on the man­ tel ticked a long minute as he hesi­ tated to light it. ' “Please do smoke,” Miss Ade­ laide said in her- soft, troubled voice. “This room is rather over-, powering, isn’t it? It has never been changed since the days of my grandparents. It takes ' the chil­ dren to cheer it up-. They should be along soon,, . There was a rehearsal at the •church this afternoon.” She sighed. • . McCale: struck' a match, thinking that there ..was something .' wicked about hereditary . possession, and what it could- do to people’s Jives.'.'' “If you’d', like to mix yourself a drink, Mr, McCalel there’s a vari­ ety of liquor on that table.” He shook his head. . “I’ll wait, I think.” x He was obsessed with the thought that although her; voice was calm, .unhurried, there was something empty and trembling in her. She seemed to be watching, too, watch­ing the way the firelight flickered across his ' lean, hard -jaw, and reaching out’to him in some un­ certain way for strength. Letting the smoke out of his lungs, he said slowly, his voice low, “Per­ haps you have something to tell me before the others arrive.” She looked up quickly, one fist tightly clenched in her lap. “Oh, no.” “Damnation,” thought McCale. “What is the matter with this wom­ an? Or is it me? Am I getting but of practice? I can usually' catch something significant in my own subtle way, but this baffles me. I’ll stake my life that there is some­ thing seriously wrong in this room, in this house. Something is going to happen. The Irish in me tells me so. It’s crawling up the very small of my back. I’ve got to have some­ thing to go-on.”She rose and walked past him to the door, her dress rustling like dry leaves. "I want you to see the wedding gifts,” was all she said, closing the door of her mind sharp­ ly in his face. A quick black anger-flared up in him. His impulse was to stalk from the house, but reason held him, rea­ son and the disturbing unrest that had remained in his brain and nerves ever since her visit to his office that morning. He followed her. downstairs. Heavy double, doors intricately carved in designs of fruit opened off the lower hall into an immense dining room. There was faded scenic paper on the walls and huge sideboards against opposite sides of the room. TPwo exquisite ,Crystal chandeliers, wired now for ‘electri­ city; hung over a long narrow table. Along the dado which outlined the room, a dozen or more Adjam chairs arched their dignified backs. Table and sideboards were loaded with silver, lamps, expensive glassware; rare, beautiful, odd, pretentious gifts for the bride and groom. McCale walked around the dis­ play-slowly, nodding at Miss Bige­ low’s remarks: “Very valuable; an heirloom; priceless,” and so on. He marveled at the value pladed on some simple piece, shuddering at the ostentatiousness of others. He was ready to grant thr necessity of protection for this collection, was beginning to push away the odd hunch he-had been piayihg all day, Whpn he felt, rather than saw, a sudden change in his client. 'A quiver rippled over her frail shoulders. Her hands1 fluttered help­ lessly as she came to a sudden fro­ zen stop. They had reached the far end of the table.' He heard her gasp and looked down to see the strang­ est gift of all. It was a model, to scale, of a small’ modernistic house, set in miniature landscaped grounds. Complete with casement windows, sun deck,'glass-walled patio, it was an architect’s dream of the plus ultra in a civilized dwelling place. There was even a tiny-roadster on the curved highway, a swimming- pool in the rear, a statue in th.» small, geometrically plotted gar­ den. The model had evidently: been on display somewhere, for an en­ graved card attached to one comer of the base read: Model of 1942 House-The Nest Crystal Cove, Nahant Architect—Christopher Storm Beside McCale, Miss Bigelow swayed. Her face blanched. With eyes -half-closed,-, she reached for- and held upJn her, trembling fingers a long legal envelope that had been lying beside the model. From it, she took a folded document, opened it slowly.

MEMORY SELECTION—Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it—John 2:9. The witness of John concerning Jesus as, the Son of God had been attested by the divine knowledge of Jesus and his. personal call to his disciples. Now the time had come fcr him to declare his authority as God by. an overt act which all men could sew and understand. It is interesting to note that for this, the first of his miracles, he chose 'a festive occasion in. the home. He had been invited to be a guest at a wedding (v. 2). Those who ask him to be present at their marriage may confidently expect him to be present and to add greatly to the real joy of the occasion. . The authority of our Lord shows here in three different ways: I. He Commands (w . 1-8). He was neither host nor-was he the one charged with responsibil­ ity for the serving, but when the time came for him to do his mighty act the servants, were ready to obey the admonition of his\mother and do what he said. Mary may have had some respon­ sibility for serving the guests. Why then had she not looked to the sup­ ply of wine? Apparently she who knew of what had taken place at the baptism of Jesus and immedi­ ately after, and having in her heart the memory of what occurred at his birth (Luke 2:14), thought it time for him to do some great miracle. ’He was indeed ready to do so, but in his Cwn way. “What is that to thee?” in verse 4 really carries the meaning: “This is a matter which I must care for in my own way,” and he did.We do well to seek grace to be like .the servants who, did what the Lord commanded, even though it did not seem to be a sensible solu­tion' to fill the jars with water. Obe­ dience without, hesitation and with- oiit question is the price of blessing! n. He Creates (w .-9-11). The act of creation was.already done, but now the fact came to light. He had changed the water into wine, the juice of toe grape. This was not a case of adding something or dilut­ ing the remaining wine. Hore toe water, as he decreed it even with­ out the use of a spoken word, was no longer there, but toe best of wine. Jesus was and is-the Creator. He was present at toe beginning of all things ■ (note the “let us" in Gen. 1:26), and it is declared that “by him were all things created” (Col. 1:16, 17). In fact, “without him was-not anything made” (John 1:3). What he created was good, so good .in fact, that the one to charge of the feast remarked about it. The Lord never does anything by halves, nor to a careless or defective way. He made a great quantity of-wine (probably more than 100 gallons) and it was. of toe greatest excellency. Some would read verse. 10 as' though our Lord were here helping along a drunken wedding party, but of course that is not true. The stew­ard was simply recognizing the ordi­ nary rule of. serving whereby one uses the best one has until there is no more like it, then takes the im ferior provision. To use this verse to excuse drunkenness is only pos­ sible for those “eager , to mar, if by means they coftld, toe image of perfect holiness which offends and rebukes them” (Trench, quoted by Leriski).' ' III. He Controls (vv. 12-16). : ■ After a few’days with his family and his disciples; he went down to Jerusalem for toe great feast of the Passover. There he found bis Fa­ ther’s house being misused and de­ filed. His Koly indignation kindled, he spoke and acted with authority as he drove these “racketeers” out of the temple. People like to hear about a God of 'love; one who knows their' weak­ ness, and is kind toward their in­firmities., But we must not forget that God shows Ius lbve by a great and holy hatred of sin, and a desire to deliver us from that sin. This means that he.must and will, deal in drastic fashion with those who per­ sist in their sin. ■ , This is a .majestic picture: The. Son of God and Son of Man steps info the center of this unholy traffic and with mighty, holy indignation (not anger) drives it out. Why. did these men who were so deeply intrenched and. sa eager to make money flee before the wrath of a lone man? It was only,.because they recognized divine authority. He. has a right to -control men, for he is God. . ' . ; f - It is hot a mere matter of re­form, for here he was cleansing the temple, the very heart of the life of the Jewish people: He dealt with, a present situation to establish an eternal principle. * ■ We cannot help but adinife this magnificent JesugJ but the question comes .to, us: today, Has tie been given his proper, authority, over and in oiir lives?

D a v ie “On »> M fc 1946 Bvety person who travels is entitled to these facts about bus transportation dur- ,*ing 1946. Gregrhound Lines started this Crst-Peacetime year with alm ost exactly the same equipm ent which had already, carried more than half a billion passengers —troops and war workers—up, down, and , across the Naticm for four hectic war years. idany of the coaches were worn and Weary. Some of them broke /down. Replacement • .parts were hard to get Worst of all, some passengers were, on occasion, left at sta­ tion#; delayed, or inconvenienced because of the shortage of serviceable buses. In spite of these handicaps, Greyhound did its level best to contihuie' efficient service, , and it succeeded in carrying far more pas­ sengers than it had served even in the bus- - iest pre-war years. During this difficult period, Greyljpund has been deeply grate- J td te r the understanding and patience oi Ia tt who have (raveled the great highways o t America.

YC fim iA N D fi/CE GrantlandBice The college football season is over •—on football fields. But -it ,really should be only beginning on the part of those who believe that-true col­ lege football is a great game and should be saved. We m ean saved I' from too much out­ right. -professional­ ism and a degree of semi - professional­ ism that is just as bad. It may be'that we have harped on this subject too often. But it is still a vital matter to those who love col­ lege football as it should be run and - played. There are four leading organiza­ tions ' who should have a hand in this checking up. 1. The college presidents—who are supposed to be the heads of their institutions. These men con­ trol student obligations, classroom ability. 2. The graduate managers. 3. The football coaches, who have much at stake and who have taken a big part of the beating. 4. The alumni Who are interested In something more than winning teams at any cost. Those could bo major factors. Southern Situation Here is a letter that might inter­ est you: “Dear Sir: . "I happen to be from the South' where I know that the football situ­ ation, from a student or an amateur angle, is pretty bad. But it is just about as bad, although better cov­ ered up, in many other sections. Down here we pay and take care of a lot of football’players who in too many cases are poor students. But I have found the same thing is true pretty well around the map. I don’t believe any reformers are going to stop this. I believe it will fall of its own weight from the feeling I have found der’eloping among the students themselves and the alumni. They are getting sick of seeing their colleges represented too often by physical education and other soft- course players who are interested in football only for pay, and a pro­fessional job later on. “Many of these students can just about read and write, and they im­ prove little even in this respect. Don’t think the real students don’t know this. Most of them know the ones that have been brought in, are being paid and what soft courses . they are taking. They know how professional the game has grown in many places. And I’ve also run- -•across a number of coaches who are getting fed up with their jobs of recruiting or taking care of the paid men brought in. —Southerner.’’ We put this problem up to a veter- .^an football coach in. the East who Imciws' most of the inside answers. “I doubt,” he told me, “that you can prevent certain forms of .payment that can be so easily cov­ ered up. There will be no real im­ provement until entrance tests are ■ made much stiffef, until college classroom requirements are lifted many degrees. I am referring to physical education players, for whom football is a good part of their college work. There are sev- eral other soft courses I might men­ tion where big, fast and' valuable , football players are taken eare of. ' These boys are getting nothing out o? college except football. After all, yon are supposed to go to college largely for an education. Why not have each college - print on its football programs the courses Its football players are taking? tiarm to Character “Of course po6 r boys .deserve 'their chance for an-education. Thou­sands, possibly hundreds of' thou- . sands, who never kicked or threw a football do get that chance. Foot­ball is . too great a game to be wrecked by the modern desire to win, no matter what the ethics, no matter what the cpst. These forget the great harm they also are doing to young-players from the side of building character. They know who' is cheating;” As a player and a coach and a man of high character this man’s came stands high in football. . j. Oddly enough, Frank’ Butterworth, one of' Talets most famous 'stars, and John Kieran, the philosopher and thinking, machine, bad the same answer—“Abolish all gate re­ ceipts, as Army and Notre Vame did for years.” .. “You can’t- have amateur sport with big gate receipts,” Kieran - says.- Illiterate Athletes I already can hear one.indignant war cry. “Our college standards are high. We meet every particu­lar in this respect.” Certainly the Big Nine and the Ivy league are among tSfe leaders. But how.did one of the college, stars • from one -big conference,. who had starred-on a team -for two yeats, misspell 41 out of 56 words m a certain brief exam­ination (some of these a 14-year- old high, school boy wouldn't have missed) and still be eligible for foot­ ball? • M HtSme (Editor’s Note: This Is anoth­ er in the “Stories of the States” series.) By EDWARD EM ERINE WNOFeattwes - - , “ Chust look at dis! It’s coal!” •John Peter Salley, one.of an exploring party, had picked:-up what seem ed to be another rock, ^and found it to be bitu- minuos coal. ’Today West. Vir­ ginia, with its 585 mines, often is referred to as the “coal bin .of America.” .. When William Tompkins used nat­ ural gas as fuel to evaporate water from brine in 1841, hg became one of the first men in the .United States to use gas for industrial uses. West Virginia’s natural gas produc­ tion in 1944 was 213 billion cubic feet. ,In 1797 Elisha Brooks began ex­ tracting salt for commercial pur­ poses from a brine spring in Kana­ wha valley near the present site of Charleston. Other West Virginia salt works have been operating for' more Uian 100 years. Develop New Industries. " As early, as 1790 a furnace was built by Peter Tarr of Kings Creek, near the present site'of Weirton, now one of the biggest steel producing cities in America. Cannonbatsmade here were used by Commodore Perry’s fleet in the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813. .' Michael J. Owens, son of a coal miner, invented a. bottle-making machine in 1903 and started a new epoch in that industry. West Vir­ ginia produced, in prewar'years, glass, china and pottery valued at 50 million dollars annually. • Mifiin Marsh made -stogies and sold them to passengers on Ohio river boats in 1840. M. Marsh & Son, Wheeling, is reputed to. be the" largest stogie manufacturer-in the United States. And back in 1915, when -World War I cut off the German supply of playing marbles, Akro Agate was founded at Clarksburg, and today, the concern makes over half of the world’s glass marbles. But lest West Virginia’s In- ' dustrial achievements blind ,us to her other claims to fame and distinction, let us look farther than bituminous coal produc­ tion, natural gas, petroleum, chemicals, salt, stone,-hardwood . timber, steel and iron manu­ facture, textiles, glass, pottery, ceramics and others. There is . .also the romantic and Iiistoric West Virginia. And there Is the mountainous and scenic West Virginia which has, become one ~- of the nation’s greatest recre- T ational areas. CHIEF EXECUTIVE ... . Clar­ ence Watson Meadows was elect­ ed the 22nd go Arrior of West Vir­ ginia- in 1944, A former lawyer, he had served: as state attorney general and judge of -the IOth judicial circuit court before his election. He is a native of Beck- -ley, W. Va., where he was born February 11, 1904. I.. The first white men went into what is now West-Virginia as early as 1719, and a few years, later cabins were being built. After 1735, South Branch valley, began to fill up with the overflow, from. Shenandoah val­ ley -and from Pennsylvania ; and Maryland,. Settlers were, of several nationalities — and the composition of the people of. West Virginia al­ ways has'been different from that of the country east of the mountains. Story of Controversy. West Virginians .heartily support­ ed the Revolution and sent troops to, help New England and the Mid­dle Colonies, but the history of west­ ern Virginia before 1801 is a story of controversy with eastern Vir-. ginia. Socially,- politically" and eco­ nomically, the two sections were un­ like from the very beginning.'.West­ern Virginia was democratic while eastern Virginia was aristocratic. The idea of separation was fore­ most long before the Civil war. . When war broke out between the states in 1861, there were bound to be repercussions through the en­ tire state. Eastern Virginia was the heart of the Confederacy. Western Virginia was opposed to secession. The long desired separation was ef­ fected, not with the Civil war as- s cause. but rather-as an opportunity, On December. 31, 1862,- the congress of the United -States gave its con: sent to admit West Virginia 'as a state,"and the next spring, opf April 20, 1863, President Lincoln "issued -his proclamation. West Virginia be­ came the 35th state of the uiiion two inpnths later. • Many Historic Shrines. Three states and two rivers meet at historic Harpers Ferry when John Brown’s anti-slavery raid was staged." Blackvpter falls, Seneca rocks, Pinnacle rack, the burial mounds at Moundsville, the stats capital building, the historic shrines — all are interesting and worthwhile. , . From mountain' tops to blue grass farms, ’ the' agricultural "side of West Vlrginia 'is a revelation. Anyone must mar­ vel at the agriculture and fruit that are produced in a state that ranks, among the first in industry. ’ Prize beef and bitu- minOus coal? Tes, anything is possible in West .Virginia. ' Gen. “Stonewall” Jackson wai bom. at-Clarksburg,, and West iVir-' ginia also gave the nation John W, Davis, Pearl S. Buck and Arm Jar­ vis. In case you’ve forgotten, it was Anh Jarvis who in 1907 asked. a group of Philadelphia friends to wear white Carnations' on the firsl anniversary of her mother’s death —and-, ,thereby founded Mother’* Day. ’ . 'State of Contrasts. The state’s northwestern border ia the Ohio river, the aquatic , highway that opened the west. But the Mo- nongahela and the Kanawha riven are important too. West Virginia’! elevhtiods range from 240 to 4,861 feet above sea level, with the high- est average elevation of any. stats east'of- the. Rockies. Yes, it’s a mountainous state, but every wooded hill, every shady nook and ever} sparkling. stream’' belongs to' just such a state. About 60 per cent oi the state’s, area is covered by for­ est, tyith trees ranging from sprues in the, highlands - to prickly peat cactus and. other semi-desert plants in the lowlands. .

Panhandle .. may have the answer to how the.expres- sion started. Back m the wilder­ ness days, the area was called “The Northern Neck of Virginia.” _ Eastern Panhandle retains a fla­ vor all its own. Gougmg .into Mary-, land and'Virginia as it does, it par­ takes of the traditions of both those states and - remains - somewhat dif­ ferent. if not apart, from the main area of Wist Virginia. . - In 1776, the village of Martms- burg.had “30 houses” and ;the com­ munity was budding “a courthouse of no inconsiderable size and- ele­ gance.” Today Martmsburg is the industrial center . of the Eastern Panhandle. •- West .Virginia's . Eastern Pan­ handle has as its mam attractions Cacapon state park,- old homes of the Washmgton family in.Colonia' days, Berkeley springs, and. Iargi apple and peach orchards. . ■ Harper’s Ferry, historic center a’ junction of the Potomac and Shets andoah, is the state’s oldest town; The Eastern -Panhandle is; only 52 miles from- Washington, 73 mile: from Baltimore, and 261 mdes from New York. It is one of the. favoriti .spots -for weekend and vacation trips from metropolitan areas. *JUa J to m e fa WASHINGTOH By Walter Sheodl ‘ WNU CwrHPoadwf ' president of a small bank in a rural midwestem town, here WNU Washiagtao Sanaam i i f su v . w* War Bonds Will Yield Huge Flow of Gash for Many Years T h eI a r_ ___ , to attend a bankers’ meeting, told your Home Town Reporter the other day that interest on war bonds and U. S. savings bonds held by the de­ positors in his little bank alone would . average almost $100,000 year for . the. next 10 years. To me that is an amazing revela­tion, for it is the’ answer to the confusion in the minds of many per­ sons throughout the country as to: why the treasury department is con­ tinuing its drive to sell U: S. sav­ ings bonds although the-fighting is over. Also, the treasury’s working balance and anticipated tax revenue are enough to meet government ex­ penditures for some time to come, and they have been sufficient since the close of the Victory Loan in De­ cember, 1945. The government actu­ally does not need the money it is obtaining from the sale of savings bonds. Then why sell bonds?’ I asked Veme Clark, director, of treasury’s savings bond division, for the an­swer.. It'boiled down to the fact that the government policy was to have the people collect the interest on the-public debt. Said Clark: “Wise management of the public debt i$ an important function in which .every citizen must be vitally interested until that debt is paid. Purchases of savings bonds directly by the people are a definite part in that management . . . of keeping ownership in 'the hands of the. people.. . . and add another privilege to American' citizenship, the privilege of sharing in the pay­ ments on the debt,” Enorm ous B uying P ow er . Here are some amazing figures: According to treasury statements, war bonds now outstanding, includ­ ing Ml series, total $49,700,000,000. If these bonds are held to maturity, the interest to be paid on them in the next 10 years will total approxi­ mately. 13 billion dollars, or an aver­ age of about $1,300,000,000 a year. That is purchasing power!- It al-. most equals the total national in­ come from banking in 1943;-it is approximately the equal of the na­ tional income from insurance in the same year; it .is more than the average annual national income from bituminous coal; it adds up to a new national spending power. And remember, this is interest only, not the $49,700,(100,000 of principal, much of which also will, be paid before the 10-year period is up, because some of these outstanding bonds are already five year sold. Bringing this new purchasing pow­er driwn to that little midwest town, that $100,000 a year in interest alone is more than the annual payroll of half the industries in the town, and if those industries shut down for any geason, folks there would look upon the fact as dire calamity coming to the community. The only factor which can shut off . this annual in­ terest is redemption of the bonds before maturity. Here are some more amazing com­ parisons: Iii Texas, the people hold approximately a billion and a half dollars of war and savings bonds on which the 10-year .interest would be $375,000,600 or an ,.average of $37,500,000 a year. That total in­ terest amounts roughly to one-tiiird of the . total value of Texas farm products In 1944, given by the bu­ reau of the census as $1,115,669,126. Large P art o f Incom e ; ' In Indiana value of farm products in 1944Amounted to $538,000,000. The 10-year ,interest on a billion dollars worth of war bonds; held by. Hoosier citizens will be approximately $250,- 000 ,000 , tor about one-half-the total farm income for, 1944. ’ In an eastern state, Massachu­ setts. folks hold two billions in bonds with an approximate $500,000,000 in­ terest total and that figure, accord­ ing to the census bureau, is. four tunes the total value of farm prod­ ucts sold and used in Massachusetts in 1944. The annual interest, $50,- 000 ,000 , probably equals the' annu­al payroll of any one ,of a dozen thriving industries- in tliat industrial state.-.- .:. : It seems to your Home Town Re­ porter that these figures bring home to every citizen all the familiar ap­ peals’’ for the continued purchase of ’savings - bonds. But the fact remains that the man-' agement of that "public d^bt is im­ portant and we’U have it with us for some time to coine, so it seems to this reporter that as long as the folks in the home towns of the coun­ try must pay that debt in their fed­ eral taxes, their one hope ofrreaping any return, aside from, the privilege of living in this country‘of ours; is to continue to buy-government sav­ ings bonds and to holdrwhat .they- have until maturity. Somebody is going to get' the interest on - that huge'debt. It might-as-well be you, the common citizen. Almanacs Long-Lived in U.

Jlrtetsa London Today England suffered much during the . trar. Many blocks in the heart of the great city of London, completely razed by the Nazi "Luftwaffe," re. main unrepaired. All parts of the city sustained scattered . damage from the raids. They took inuch punishment bravely, and they are industriously setting about to repair their country. Perhaps it is partly Britain’s prox­ imity to continental troublemakers and the consequent disaster, at* though sonde of these trouble spots havh been pawn as well as threat during :her history, that gives the people such an awareness of foreign relations. They have learned the defenses that are usually provided b7 a good foreign office, and have developed shrewd international statesmen. There is little apparent disunity in their foreign policy. Nonetheless, war came to them, : and their sufferings were great. Re­ construction in 3ritain is moving slowly. A long time will be required for complete rebuilding, even of her damaged streets and destroyed buildings. Materials are short, and rationing diverts most materials into home building, which is pro­ ceeding slowly also., BatiMting Slow-Down Most Britons feel that, rationing of materials has slowed production. The government is meticulous about "filling out forms," and the. proper approval must be had to obtain each different type of building material. Sometimes brickwork must- stop because the bureau controlling glass has/not approved and returned the forms for buying windows. The London press announced while I was there that building contrac­ tors were being granted extra gaso­ line rations because of the addition­ al travel, required to get their nu­ merous forms -filled out and circu­ lated to wholesalers and retailers, which they found necessary to do In order to complete a building. . All rationing seems to move slow­ ly. For instance, I had to obtain food points to give the hotel for the week I was in London. Upon the advice of the hotel manager that I should report at the rationing of­ fice when the doors opened at nine o’clock, I. arrived at 8:45 and found a .long queue already waiting. Eventually I found myself in a spe­ cial room for foreign visitors, with only a few of the waiting applicants, and htid to wait only about an hour. The speed of the ration clerks re­minded me of some of our own paid clerks.during the war: it -was evi­ dent they were not paid by the num­ ber of customers they: served and that they had no fear iff competition. Qneues and Bread England is experiencing a greater shortage of food, Clothing, and gaso- Iine than during the war, and there­ fore rationing has not been , eliminat­ ed. On the contrary, some items are now rationed which were not under rationing during the war. iQueues otyfrom 50 to 300 people were constantly on the streets, at most all hours, waiting to . get ra­ tioned articles. . I was actually hungry every day I spent In England. Bread counts as. one of the three courses avail­ able for a London dinner, and if bread Is ordered this eliminates ei- ther'the soup or sweet. During my lest dey in London a. hotel waiter was flped $20 for inadvertently put­ ting a roll oh the table for each of two then who had not ordered bread. They chanced to be inspectors. L O O fffN G A ffffA D GEORGE S. BENSON PteSUat—Met Jitg CeHegt ,Sang. ArtaSas H Meat Control Collapse and- failure recently of '. government control over an impor- . tant commodity, required in the daily lives of the people, points up an important moral for Americans. Li lettering bold and poster-size, amounting to' handwriting on the wall, this, moral shows that we are pot ready for this kind of regimenta­ tion in peacetime. We may re-enact the plot again with hew characters at some future time, but the, result will surely be the same. This we must know before more harm is done: A controlled econ­ omy is not compatible with Amer­ ican democracy. ' The real reason for complete-failure of meat control lies in the fact that Americans have been brought up on a free market. They have found the greatest sort of freedom in this kind of economy. They desire no substitute. Few Old Cows •Prices the government allowed for hogs and cattle on foot were not high enough to induce farmers to sell their animals. Early in October the New Fork . Times sent a reporter into the heart of the Texas-cattle country.. Trailing buyers at Fort Worth for both major and independ­ ent packers, the Times reporter saw them bid OPA ceilings and come away with only a “few old cows” out of 5,700 head of beeves listed that day. Choice animals were "grabbed off” by traders at prices in excess of ceilings, while 7,000,-OOO beef cat­ tle continued to roam the southwest Texas range. . Like any man who successfully in­ vests capital and puts hard work into an enterprise, the cattle raiser is well taught about markets. But a controlled economy puzzles him nrst, muzzles him later. Tlie farm­ er, like the manufacturer, has ‘learned to watch markets: to buy and sell advantageously In an hon­ est, competitive market. And in our land we have found that the con­ sumer, who buys the food and manu­ factured goods at lower prices, is best protected by this same free market. Failure Recognized Why could a black market exist? The public wanted meat badly enough-to'pay more for it than the ceiling price. I am not condoning black markets, but it needs to be said that this one was a general revolt against price controls on meat dur­ ing peacetime, when the public knew the country had more livestock than usual. The failure of controls was dismal, and the entire population recognized it. ,Some folks, prompted by Commu­ nistic thinking and desiring to de- • stroy freedom of opportunity, !blamed the failure on the packing houses. People who know nothing iff the facts may believe that accusa­tion. The facts are that prices pack­ ers could legally, pay did not bring livestock to market. Neither' did 'a : few men in Congress cause the faim- ers to withhold hogs and cattle. It was not the "feebleness” of the law, but the law itself, that turned a free market into a black market. Dynamic is the word for our American economy. It cannot be trammeled down at one point and bludgeoned at another, at the- whim of some far-away controller. Nei­ther can you expect it to by-pass the bottlenecks of government con­ trol, using the laws of honest eco­ nomics with which it is familiar— without disastrous results to the American way of life. fsM EEKOSCOPE I f PtBSOHS BOBN THIS W WEEK ARE APT 10 INDUUSE IN PAY- V ORtAMINO.

Sugar Outlook For 1947 The scarcity of. sugar continues to worry the American housewife bnt she can get some comfort from the fact that the retail price hasn’t fluctuated as violently as after World War I when U jumped from eleven cents a pound in 1919 to-twenty-seven cents a pound in 1919 to tweuty seven cents in seven months. Experts on the world ontlook foi sugar says that the 1946 prodnc ticn, 27 .200000 tons, was tbe smallest in twenty-two years. The estuna'e for next vear is 30 ,000.000 tons, but this is thirteen per cent below the average for the 1935-39 period. It is generally agreed, however., that a moderate increase in the a- amouot of sugar, available >0 in dustrial users and houeewive will come in 1947. Cane and beet pro­ duction in this country will be lar­ ger and the crops in other areas, that supply the United States offer promises of larger supplies. Tbe sugaj experts say tnat tbe United States is getting 5 600,000 tons of sugar in 1946, which is a- bout two million tons less than in 1940 As normal codsumption is figured at 98 pounds it would re­ quire 7,000,000 tons to supply the normal American demand and it is barely possible that this amount will be available in 1947. Soldiers See Latest Movies Soldiers serving in Japan- and Korea see more movies than they did at home. Under sponsorship of tbe Army Special Services Divi sion, at least four changes of HoU Iywood'monies are presented week­ ly, many of them before they ap­ pear in-NewYork. The G I’s also attend live stage shows, including USO and their own soldier produc tions. All Sports in Japan Sports minded G l'f doing occu­ pation duty in Japan have little dif< Gculty keeping busy in their leisure time. Thev have organized a base ball league, ' The. American Lea. gue of Japan.” sottball, and basket­ ball teams al>d have the. exclusive use of 15 golf courses, 15 swim­ ming pools, and a number of re­ sort beaches. For winter sports enthusiastics there is even .skiing and ikating. They Seldom Repeat There is mnrh speculation, as to the political future' of" President Tniman.; Of late there has been much debate among the- wiseacres as to what effect the strike of the coal miners will have on the futuro chances of the President to succeed himself. Since the election there seems to be a tendency at Washington to loosen controls and to .restore the government ‘‘to the people.” Many observers believe that the resuls of the recent election' has had some effect on the President, who thinks that now she people have register­ ed their opinions as to the New Deal he is no longer dntv honnd to carry out all tie New Deal policies Others are of the opinion that .the release, of all controls is being en conragad by the left-wingers them­ selves in the hope that a mess will be stirred up which will discredit not only the President bnt the-Re- nublican Congress and redound to the benefit of Henry Wallace and his satellites. It is generally admitted tbit President Truman w illhave the Democratic nomina’ion banded to him in 1948 if He wants it. Most observers believe be will adopt a wait and-see attitude so fer as tbe nomination is concerned. If things look better for the Democrats in 1948 he would then accept the nom­ ination. bnt if things continue to go from bad to worseJie may well turn down the nomination. Getting a Congress, especially a House, of opposing taith generally spells disaster for tbe administra­ tion io the next election * It is pointed out that Mr. Tru man is the sixth President in re­ cent times with an. opposing Nat. ional Honse of Representatives The first fiie were Grover Cleve­ land, Benjnmin Harrison. William Hoaard Taft,. Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Hoover.; In each of- the five Instances the administra­ tion party did not elect its Presi dential candidate in tbe succeed ing genetal election. The odds, therefore, wonld seem to be entirely against the Demo, crats in this field to capture the Presidency in 1948 However, soon, er or later there comes an excep­ tion to most rules. Despite tbe re­ cord of the past, itjnay he . taken for granted' that even if Mr. Tru­ man decides not to mn in 1948, there will be plenty ot Democratic candidates, who will be willing to accept the honor.—Union Repub !lean.

READ* THE AD$ • Along With lhe Newa TheFreeHandaOf A- merican Labor It is refreshing to know that some labor leaders have not been carried away by a "rule or ruin” policy toward industry—and are not advocaslng programs whose purpose'is to get more pay for less work. An exeeltent case iu point is provided'In an article In Reader's Digest by Walter. Cenerazzo, presi­ dent of the American Watch p o rk ­ ers union. Mr. Cenerazzo’s article is iti the form of a letter to union members. He wri’e£: "Saless makes wages. Production makes sales, ■ and; low cost, low-price production makes more sales. "Capital anil management can absorb wages up to a point and still reduce prices, increase sites and spread_prosperity.' . Bnt - now we’ve raised wages to where man agetnenl can't do it alone. 'Now the unions have got to help capital and management carry the loads of more goods, more services and more welfare for the American people. . (. “American free enterprise now has to be saved by the unions as well as management, Onr foreign competion is more anj)' more social, istic. , . We Americans, are repre­ senting real free enterprises almost alone. , , Yon, my fellow unionists hold in your Iree' hands the de­ cision -between Americanism .; and totalitarianism.” That is the attitude that can make labor great and poweeftil and respeeted Any other attitude is ruindus to labor as well as to the country which represents nothing but the Tesnlt of tbe lohor of all tbeoeople—Ex Pointing The Way Senator Bridges of New Hamp . shire,, recently issued. a statement in which he said: "Government needs its own taste of rationing, ceilings and priories—and in the same rigid measure that Jhest things have been itaposed ' on the people. “There must be a rationing of money to spend. “There must be a rationing of rnonev to spend. -‘‘There must be a ceiling ou.pub- Iic payrolls. \. ‘‘There must be priorities on new and costly projects. "The Amerlean people are vig* orouslv demanding a government that speeds no mere than it re. ceives. in texas, that Ijves within the ability of its people to pay.- thst balances its budget and cuts its debt ” ' - If that vital goal is to be achiev­ ed, every governmental non essen­ tial mnst he eliminated, and .every penny of avoidable expenditure must be cut from future budgets. The economy drive should begin with the activities which are not properly not' properly within the sphere of government, and-which wonld be provided by the taxpay ing business if it were allowed the onportnnity. The outstanding ex­ ample of this lies in government electric power projects. At - this very moment, the socialists ate de­ manding that the government spend untold millions to create and develop-a.

They broil quickly and make a palatable dinner when yon want to cook in a jiffy. Recent visits to the market have convinced me that most education about meat , cook­ ery was forgotten during rationing and shortages. Most of us worked ourselves into a sort of a rut about meats and now find that we need 3 brush- up course on meat cookery;; Meat should satisfy and to do so it must be properly prepared. If broiling is what the cut needs, make sure your temperature is high enough to do the job decently. But if it’s braising,' make sure the heat is slow and steady and the cooking moist.Here are a few of the things you ought to remember when buying meat: First of ail, become ac­ quainted with a variety of cuts so that you can better manage your budget and give the family much- needed menu variety. Ask the market man for advice. He can give you tips on specials and help you get more for your money. if you have meats boned at the market, always ask for the bones to take home. They’re wonderful for flavoring soups, sauces and vegeta­ bles, When you purchase large cuts, have some steaks or chops removed for another meal. . There won’t be so many leftovers, and you will be able to get more variety from the large cuts. Spicy Fot Roast.

If hamburgers contain ,only beef, they may be cooked rare; if.they have any pork in them, cook, them well done. 'Canned meats and ready-to-eat meats are a supper saver. They may be.pan-fried or broiled for add­ ed relish. onion, pepper .and celeiy lightly In drippings, then add garlic, curry powder, sauce, broth and. meat.- Cover and sim­ mer for 30 min­utes.

Make a smooth paste of flour and water, adding liquid and seasonings. Pour sauce over tongue and vegetables. Simmer for I hour. Serve with-po­ tatoes boiled in their jackets. An interesting variation to the meat course comes in the way of lamb en brochette, pieces of Inex­ pensive meat placed on skewers. These are broiled and go beautifully with a dinner of baked, whipped po­ tatoes, buttered lima beans, a vege­ table salad and fruit whip for des­ sert. A broiler dinner ..prepared in a^ few minutes consists of tomatoes/ Iaub patties and boiled potatoes sprinkled with cheese. Lamb en Brochette.

VfoJfoHte Ifa WASHINGTON Bg Woltar Shead WWU CoiTOpearfMl WBV Wuftiaftoa Baren 1616 E u SUt Hf. W, Expect Littte Immediate Chanee in Financial Policy ^X/'ITH the holiday season over ’ ’ and official Washington wind­ing up the most brilliant social, sea­ son since before the war, replete with diplomatic receptions, White House, functions, state dinners and various other social gatherings, the. new 80th congress buckled down to the actual business of setting up a policy and adopting the legislation to make that policy function for the na­ tion during the next two years.Most of the bickering as to com­ mittee, assignments and oflier prob­ lems attendant to the reorganization of congress under the new con­ gressional reorganization act have been settled or at least bottled-up for the time being, with the new GOP leadership firmly in the saddle. And it would be nice to report that the spirit of the'Christmas season has left congress with a feeling of peace on earth to men of good will. How­ever, that would not be objective reporting. Whatever the reaction to the President’s state of the union mes' sage, congress,' Democrats and Re­ publicans alike, can be sure that this message, unlike some previous ones, represents the President’s own think­ ing. Bis proposals reflect his. own viewpoints and they are not the ideas and ideals of the New Deal which President Truman inherited and with which he had to go along up until the time the people cast over­ board this theory of government at the recent election. The new congressional reorgani­ zation act, if the GOP leadership follows the spirit and letter of the law, is providing some obstacles, apparently not foreseen by some of the newly’ elected or reeiected con­ gressmen, to the carrying out of their pet ideas. For instance, Rep. John Taber, New York, is bent upon arbitrarily slashing some nine bil­ lion dollars from the federal budget. At the same time, Rep. Harold Knut­ son of Minnesota is determined to bring about a 20 per cent reduction in individual income taxes as well as corresponding cuts in corpora­ tion taxes and abolishment of the various excise taxes. O utgo Tied to Incom e This would be fairly easy under the old procedure which has been in effect since about 1865. The house ways and means and the house ap­ propriations committee simply would meet and, • with the over­whelming GOP majority, would just vote the cut through. Not so, how­ ever, under the. new act. It is based on a scientific study of government and not on the basis of levying taxes without regard to appropriations, or vice versa. The hew law pro­vides that the house appropriations and the house ways and means com­ mittee, together with the senate fi­ nance and appropriations commit­tees, shall meet jointly at the begin­ ning of the session . that they shall consider the President’s budget recommendations and report a “leg­islative budget for the ensuing fis­ cal year, including the estimated overall federal receipts and.expend­itures for such year . . . that such a report shall contain a recom­mendation for a maximum amount to be appropriated and an amount to be reserved for deficiencies'. . Oiat if the report estimates the pro­ posed expenditures will be Jess titan the estimated government tax re­ ceipts, then there shall be a recom­ mendation for a reduction'In the public debt . . . that this report shall be made by February 15 . . . that the report from the joint com­ mittee shall be accompanied by a concurrent resolution adopting such budget and fixing Hie maximum amount to be appropriated tor ex­penditure . . . that if the . report shows that estimated expenditures' shall be greater than receipts, the concurrent resolution "shall in­ clude” a section substantially as fol­lows: ‘That It is the sense of con­ gress tha't the public debt shall be increased in an amount equal to the amount by which'the estimated ex­ penditures for the ensuing fiscal year exceed the estimated receipts, such amount being $-------—.’ ” Balanced B adget D ubiout So under this law all appropria­ tions and: expenditures must be con­ sidered in tiie light of the govern­ ment’s needs, as outlined In the President’s budget, and not by the desire of any congressman, however worth, while. . Th^ size of the public debt is fixed as congress goes along; So whether congress can balance the budget at this session is a matter for conjecture. 'Despite many de­ mands by the new Republican ma­ jority for an immediate balance, Sen.: Robert A. Taft, Ohio, considered the deepest financial thinker in the senate, said, as.quoted in the Con­ gressional Record of May 14,1945;7 “It seems to me that the . most- conservative government cannot hope to balance the budget until ap­ proximately three years after the end of the war with japan.?'

Cloth-covered suitcases cab be restored to newness by covering the fabric with a coat of high grade lacqtier. To prevent windows from stick­ ing, rub a little floor wax in the window sash groove. To remove the metal base'of an electric light bulb that has broken in the socket, push a . cork into the base and turn it. Winter window washing is made a lot easier by adding denatured alcohol to the water to prevent freezing. Wipe quickly with crushed tissue paper. StUL SsomcL dlcduuj. The touring company had never been of the best, and when they reached the Stage of playing to the family of the man who owned the little, country theater, and found that even they left at the end-of the . first act, it was decided to break up. Two of the actors set out to work their way back to New York. They were lucky enough to get a passage on a barge, and when passing through a lock they over­ heard this conversation; “What you got on board, Jim?” “Load of fertilizer and a couple of actors, Bert.” The two actors looked at each other in silence, then sighed deep­ ly.“Cyril,” said one, “shall we nev­ er top the bill?” GIRLS!

What we need is less liquor and more good drink­ ing water. Before voting for more liquor consult your pastor ' and read your Bible. Mocksville has made much pro­ gress in the last few years. Many new homes have been built, a number of new business houses have been erected, a locker freezer plant, one of the largest furniture factories in this section, a new steam laundry, a - large lumber plant in South Mocksville, and a number of smaller wood-working plants. . Many other buildings will be built when matarial is available. What we need nOw is more dwell­ ing houses. Anumber of families are anxious to locate here as soon as they can secuTe living quarters. Let’s all pull together for a bigger and better town in which to live. Davie’s Senator, Lafayette Wil­ liams, and Representative Knox Johnstone are on their jobs in Raleigh. These gentlemen are well qualified to represent the good old county of Davie, and de­ spite the fact that one is a Repub­ lican and the other a Democrat, we feel sure that they will work together in helping to make laws that will benefit the entire State as well as Davie County. It has been suggested that these gentle- men introduce a bill making the office of County Auditor and Tax Collector in Davie elective instead of appointive offices. Beer and Wine Hection Raleigh, Jan. 8—The first beer and wine referendum bill to reach die new 1947 General Assembly was introduced today by Repre­ sentative O. M. Mull, of Cleve­ land, whose measure calls fos a vote in his county on May 10, on the question of retaining or abol­ ishing the sale of beer and wine in his county. ... The measure would ban the sale of bees and wine in Cleveland on aud after July I, if a majority vote for prohibition in the May IOth referendum, and possession of . wine and beer for sale would be iUegaL Violation would constitute a misdemeanor punishable in the discretion of the court. 'I Si Drug Store Entered Some unknown thief or thieves broke into Hall’s Drug Store some time between 11:30 Wednesday night and 6 o’clock Thursday morning and carried away the store’s narcotics. - So far as could be learned- no money or, other merchandise was taken. The loss was less than $100. Entrace to die store was made by prizing the lock on the front door. It has been only about three months since the Wilkins Drug Store was entered in the same manner, and all the narcotics stolem. Here’s hoping, the guilty party will be captured.

Smith, of Woodleaf, was in town one day last week on business. X Don’t Like Republicans We once asked a prominent merchant if he didn’t want to do some advertising in The Record. He asked us if we didn’t edit a Republican newspaper. We told him that our paper was a Repub­ lican paper. He remarked that he didn’t care to do any advertis­ ing with us—that our paper was readonly by Negroes and p'oor white trash. We didn’t have our gun with us, and he was a much larger man than the editor. There are a few business houses that do not advertise with us. We don’t know if it is because our paper is Republican, or because they don’t want Republicans to do business with them. The Record has a large cicula- tion in Davie and surrounding counties, with not more than two er cent Negroes. The best people, in the world read our {iaper—hundreds of the best people in the county, both Democrats and Republicans. We do not claim to run an independ­ ent paper to get Democrats to either read or advertise in our paper. When a merchant adver­ tises with us he knows our paper represents the party of Abe Lin­ coln and William McKinley. When a man subscribes for our paper he knows that he is getting a Republican paper. For forty years we have been a citizen of Davie County—fact is, we were bom in a log cabin in Calahaln township, and spent the greater part of our life in Davie county. We are not ashamed of our poli­ tics. WepatronizealI our-mer­ chants, regardless of their party af­ filiations, and will continue to do so, regardless of consequences.

Health Depai tment In­ formation We should know by this time that our local Health Department'' has a Division of Sanitation... In simple language sanitation means the promotion of health by close attention to cleanliness. The old­ est and at one time, the most* ex­ tensive of all the activities of a well organized public health unit was this effort to control the spread of diseases and to prevent disease by encouraging public cleanliness and doing away with health risks created by nuisances and unsanitary conditions. The Division of Sanitation in our local Health Unit at this time is headed by< Mr. Carl E. Shell, who is a reasonable man and a well qualified ,Sanitarian. It is the duty of this officer to inspect cafes, hotels, lunch rooms, soda fountains, markets, slaughter pens and all other places in the com­ munity that offer foods and ac­ comodations to the public for monetary considerations. He un­ dertakes to find out if onr foods 1 comc from healthy sources and if they are handled in a sanitary manner. He undertakes to find out if there are facilities for pro­ perly refrigerating and storing foods intended for public con­ sumption, or whether they are poorly kept and exposed to rats, roaches and filth. He attempts to see that John Q. Public gets a dean glass, a dean plate and dean knife and fork, and that his food is prepared in a clean place by healthy people. He inspects our schools with a view to improving the school living conditions for our children. He inspects and examines. into our ' public milk supply, our public water supply, our sewage and waste disposal sys­ tems, and he seeks on all sides to correct any unsanitary conditions that may exist. AU of this is done with kindly intentions to promote the interest and co-operation of both the operator and the public consumer. When necessary, how­ ever, this officer can and does ex­ ercise his legal authority to com­ pel changes in behalf of sanitation and the public health. We should all appreciate the protection offered us by pure wat­ er supplies, wholesome milk sup- plies and safe sewage disposal. ; We should all back up every ef- j fort to maintain dean, healthy1 public accomodations such as res­ taurants, hotels, public toilets and the like. Moreover, when it be­ comes necessary we soould feel free to consult our health depart­ ment on matters of both private and public sanitation. Because there are so many dis­ eases that may spread through un­ safe sewage disposal and unpro­ tected water snpplies, it is impor­ tant that private individuals con­ tact our Sanitary Division for ad­ vice before the actual construction of wells and sewage disposal plants. The service of the Sanitary Officer is available to anyone wishing professional advice on these' sub­ jects. Mr. Shell serves a large territory, but he may be contacted through the local Health clinic, the County Nnrse, or by mail addressed to the Department of Sanitation, Davie, Stokes, Yadkin District Health Dept., Mocksville, N .C .

N- C. -SMiSiND I O K tW > M .' mm DISPLAT HISTORIC DOCUMENTS I WASHINGTON.—Attorney Gener­ al Tom Clark is hatching a unique plan for selling civil liberties to the . American people. He will send a | special train through the 48 states carrying some of the priceless treas­ures of American freedom. It was Clark, working quietly be­ hind the scenes, who had more than anyone else to do with organizing the president’s special committee on civil ''liberties, which will study southern lynchings and race prob­lems. . Accordingly he has evolved the idea of sending a special train across the United States containing the most sacred doc- . uments of American' history which guarantee our freedom. ' At first Clark proposed equipping two special cars-with showcases which would display the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independ­ence, the Emancipation Proclama­ tion, the Constitution and so on. However, He found that the Proc­lamation of Phnancipation by which Lincoln freed the slaves was in the hands of Abraham Rosenbach of Philadelphia, famous collector of old manuscripts. Clark, therefore, called Rosenbach to tell him about his plan and ask for the loan of the proclamation. Rosenbach agreed to cooperate, and suggested an entire train instead of two cars. He offeredto help raise the extra money and, as a result, it now is planned to equip an entire special train with showcases in which will be displayed the roost cherished documents of American history. Soldiers will guard the train, just as guards stand watch continually over these documents in the Library of Congress. In addi­ tion, as the train arrives at each state border, an extra car will be added displaying the historic docu­ ments and civil rights mementoes of the state. Finally, dark plans to have large- size duplicates of the freedom docu­ ments “blown-up” as permanent ex­ hibits to be left behind in the high schools of each city through which the train passes.> * • IRON CURTAIN STATS DOWNAssistant-'Secretary of State Bill Benton, who has tried desperate­ ly to lift the iron curtain, recently was prevented by the Russians from visiting Moscow. Benton was scheduled to fly to Moscow with Chester Bowles, his old advertising partner. But the Rus­ sians found Benton had only 48 hours in which; to make the trip', let him get as far as Berlin, then stalled him for 48 hours, claiming Moscow weather made it impossible for Ius plane to land. Finally, Benton went back to Paris, where he checked by cod­ ed cable witii the American em­ bassy in Moscow, found that the weather In Russia bad been per­ fect during the time be was be­ ing barred from the Soviet capi­ tal. Benton, who is in-charge of state department information, has tried to beam radio broadcasts into Russia in order to give the Russian people the real truth about the USA. Many Russians don’t even know that the American army and navy partici­ pated in the war against Japan. * • * -. NEW WAGE POLICT . A new policy line in preventing strikes was agreed on at a secret meeting of Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach and his top advisers. Hereafter, government mediation machinery null swing into -action four to fiVe_months before union con­tracts expire in major industries, in­ stead of waiting until union demands and strike threats are in the air.„ It is felt that many serious work stoppages can be avoided if uidon demands are anticipat­ ed and negotiations begun wen in advance of contract expira­ tions. First major industry on which the new policy will be tried will be" the maritime, which faces another pois- sible work stoppage in June. At that time, union contracts of seamen of the AFL and CIO on the west and east coasts expire.- PROBE MONOPOLT The department of justice is trying to decide whether to bring anti-trust' proceedings against-American Tele­phone and Telegraph company for freezing out small' competitors. In­dependent ; would-be manufacturers of telephone equipment have little chance to break into the market be­ cause of the A. T. A T. policy not only, of owiung all its own equip­ ment but buying it from its own Western Electric company, a 99 per cent A. T. & T. subsidiary. CAPITAL CHAFF The coal strike may seriously af­ fect next year's potato and apple crops, according to the department of agriculture. The trouble is that the shortage of coal tar curtailed supplies of insecticides, which are needed to fight such crop; pests as the chinch bug, the European corn borer, the coddling moth and the potato bug.’ . ....

ST U S T E LL Y O U Io r s a b o u t i t 02-4? or & C fiM T L A N D fi/C E Bierm an COME short while back, one ot the u leaders in college football asked- your correspondent to name the 15 leading coaches in the country. The oniy answer we could think of in a given time limit was this: "The 15 coaches who have the best ma­ terial." 'There is little questioning the fact that for the season of 1946, Hed Blaik of Army deserved his award, due largely to the fact that Red and his staff carried Army three years without a defeat. Time and again w e have been asked to rank the coaches In order. This is an impossi­ ble job. Look over just a few from the list —Neyland of Tennessee, BIaik of Army, Harlow of Harvard, Little of Columbia, Crlsler of Michigan, Thom­ as of Alabam-a, Leahy of Notre Dame, McMiIlin of Indiana, Neely of Bice, Butts of Geor­ gia, McKeever of Cornell, Wade of Dnke, Snavely of North Carolina, OdeIl of Tale, Le* Brncherie of U.C.L.A., Bierman of Minnesota—but why keep on? This is only a partial list, Where, if given (he sam e material and the same schedules, Inck would have to write the story. I can say this. There is no bunch connected with sport that gives, as much time, thought, worry and com­ plete concentration as football coaches give. They brood by day and night. An ankle, a shoulder, a knee or a back can make all the difference in the world. Those in front figure they must stay there. The losers must win • a game or two. Iliere is a big difference in material from time to time but the old grads and the public at large never consid­ er this. They look only to the final scores. Such coaches as Red Drew of Mississippi, Red Sanders of Van­ derbilt and Paul Bryant of Kentucky may be unknown nationally, but they are as good as the’ best with what they have." tA Coaches’ Coacht There may be a better cpach than Dick Harlow of Harvard—but who is he? NeyIand of- Tennessee can keep pace with anyone. Jock Suth­ erland was the coaches’ coach in col­ lege until he came over to pro ranks. Spend a few days with Steve Owen and Greasy Neale, in or out of sea­ son, and you get part of the answer —fall, winter, spring and summer— they’re always talking and thinking football, still playing over games they lost. . Lonnie Stagg at 84 was still in harness this last season, reluc­ tant to retire. Lonnie was a star at Yale, 60 years ago. With all the tears they shed and all the moaning they give the world, it is almost impossible to shake them loose with­ out using a grenade. Sour correspondent more than once has ducked the opportunity of picking or trying to pick the 10 best coaches of all. time. Looking back to something over 40 years we’d say that four of the best were Pop Warner, Kiate Rockne, Hurry-up Tost and Percy Haughton. Pop Warner gave football more on the technical side than anyone else, including the single and double wing, a system still just as effective as the T. Colorful Yost Yost gave football its first flare of coaching color and Michigan its first great college football record— 56 victories in five years, blemished only by a tie with Minnesota, before Chicago broke the string in 1905. Knute Rockne brought to football its greatest combination of coaching ability, human interest and person­ ality. Rock, in addition to being a great coach, was also the game’s star personal contribution when it came to human contact. Bob Zuppke of Illinois brought to football coaching the added gifts of philosophy and humor. Zup had more color than two rainbows. One of his best friends was the late How­ ard Jones of Yale and Southern Cal­ ifornia. No two men were ever fur­ ther apart as human beings. But they were fine coaches and close pals. , Haughton of Harvard today is . greatly underrated coach. Cold, hard, austere, he was one of Uie greatest. A star tactician and tech­ nician, Haughton was probably the best of all in discipline. As Tadc Hardwick told me once, “If Haugh­ ton told Harvard to jump off a 100 foot cliff and he would catch us— we’d all jump. And Percy would catch us.” - ' Character Builders The thousand, at least a thousand, football coaches we’ve met and known in the last 40 odd years, have made an almost unbelievable con­ tribution, not only to sport, but also to the good of the nation at large. ot all of them, of course. But the big majority have turned qnt a .great Job in the way of training, instruc­ tion, discipline and, if you’ll pardon the phrase, “character building/’ Did you ever know Dan McGugih or Lonnie Stagg?

McCale accepts, only because lie. senses that Miss Bigelow is afraid of something more serious than a possible theft. McCale sets his assistant, Rocky Bjorkland, and his secretary, Ann Mar* riot, to booting up hack ground data on Ihe members of-the families involved In Uie wedding. Laiter McCaIe Inspects Oie rich presents. .One is a deed to a modernistic mansion. A taD, beautiful blond* woman .playing the piano in* trlgoek his Interest. Two other women and a man appear In the room. They are obviously members of the family, appearing aristocratic and self-satisfied. CHAPTER m Lost In his reverie of this neo- Giec vision, McCale hardly heard Adelaide Bigelow speak. “May I present Mr. McCale, Sybil? This is Mrs. Joel Bigelow. The bride’s mother.” She put her hand on his sleeve. “Mr. McCale’s Agency is overseeing—the wedding gifts.” With an effort he brought him­ self back to the woman who faced him. He was. conscious of an im­ pressive bust followed by about a hundred and fifty' dollars worth of. shaped and girdled figure, expen­ sively trained not to split the seams of a black afternoon dress. She wore far too much gold costume jewelry just below the- chin' of an Elizabeth Arden face topped by a soignee up hair-do. Her manner was arrogant as she repeated his name in the cool, detached tone she might use to a chauffeur. She ac­ knowledged the introduction, that was all, then moved majestically away, following her bust to a low table in pursuit of a glass of sherry. A comer of McCale’s mind was still at the piano where the white goddess now played something by Gershwin in a real broken beat. He caught an amused glance from Miss Bigelow before she presented him to the couple sitting on the sofa. “Victoria Bigelow,” murmured Miss Adelaide, “and Stephen—the bride’s sister and brother.” The girl looked a little old around- {he eyes, a little hard around the mouth, axe was, somehow, like a drawing in the slightly degenerate, macabre style of Beardsley—all black and white, with finely drawn eyebrows and. - smudged lashes. A ere was something viperish in the way she held her pointed chin. Her body, sheathed in a dress styled for someone far beyond her age, seemed too assured, too relaxed, too willing.-It was easy to see that Stephen Bigelow was Victoria’s brother. He had the same hard finish, the white skin, the narrow face. In twenty years, he would be'lantern-jawed and hollow-eyed. Already there was a crease of cruelty around his un­ easy mouth.- From the way-he at­ tacked his-highball, McCale sus­ pected-his petulance was partly the effect of a speedily evanescing liv­ er. He wolfed his drink while nod­ ding to McCale, but his eyes were fixed oh the woman at the piano. Lovely Veronica Seettis Nervous “Mrs. Stephen Bigelow,” said Miss Adelaide, and left McCale looking down at a polite Garbo-ish mask, a slow smile, and slender, cigarette-stained fingers picking out a lush tone. Yet that sensual un­ dercurrent that might have been purely chemical, or even glandular, was there. He felt it as he knew Stephen, the woman’s husband, felt it. He sensed what slavery there must be in loving a woman like this, could see that part of Stephen’s restlessness was a sickness, and that he was living on the cocaine of her magic. She didn't resent his standing there as she played. She didn’t speak or smile or make any effort •to put him at his ease. She knew he was dazzled, not quite sure of bimself, but it didn’t even seem to amuse her. - Breaking off in the middle of a run and without speak­ ing, she reached for a coffee cup at the far end of the keyboard. Karen' had seated herself beside her husband; and, joined by Sybil, the small group was carrying on a 'desultory conversation about the wedding rehearsal, the brides-' maids, and the ushers. It was the usual half-catty post-mortem. ■ “She’s very beautiful, isn’t she?” said Miss Bigelow, catching McCale again with his eyes on Karen. .“Mm,” McCale grunted, smiling. “Is she always like this?” _ “A Nordic princess?*’ Miss Ade­ laide smiled, slight distaste curling the comers of her mouth. ■ “I . , . Fm afraid not.” - *‘Ah. The • descriptive Swedish blank.” . . “Just so." “She’s very talented.” “Yes, indeed.” Miss Bigelow was making him f e e l lilte Paul Pry. Why had she been giving him the impression, in the last few minutes, that Karen was worth watching . then? He changed the subject.“Will you want_me to have my man on duty tonight?” He watched her closely. AU the tightness came back into her eyes. “I—I don’t know.” Suddenly he was, Iikfe a mah wait­ ing in a dentist’s'offlce, wanting to start something, go inhere and get ^ G E R A L D it over with. He started to talk, almost blurted out, ,“You’re, in trou­ ble, Miss Bigelow. You need help. You do.. You came to me this morning with it written all', over your face. You’re afraid ot some­ thing—something that has nothing to do with wedding gifts?” . He made a gesture as if he were waving them away. “You are afraid. I know.” “I suppose you do.” ,But though her hand, trembled, her eyes were vacant. - • ■ “Tell me what it is. Give me your confidence. If you want my help, I must have it. What do you fear?- Who is making you afraid?” “Now I’ve done it,” he cursed to himself, for_she threw him a.sharp, half-angry glance, and got up. He stumbled to his feet, blind with an-' ger at himself, but she was smiling at two people who were entering the room. The girl was, all gold. Her skin tones were coffee and cream, in the liquid sense of a Laurencin portrait. She was not beautiful, but her face had a depth and a glow that was cimously warming. That was : it. She was warm and golden, and you knew at once that she was intelli­ gent and nice, as well as decora­ tive. Her hair was long, naturally curly, and of a burnished bronze She didn’t resent his standing there as she played. color: Her Head was set on a per­ fectly proportioned body. Dressed as she was in shades of beige and brown, simply and in beautiful taste, she was at once quietly charming, assured, thoroughbred. .. "Veronica—dear.” Miss Bigelow touched her, kissed her.. There i®as in her voice a note of passionate concern, of pride—flf relief. Adelaide Bigelow introduced the golden girl in the doorway to Mc­ Cale and he was surprised at the' creature’s throaty, mellow voice. It lacked the superficiality of the debu­ tante drawl. But wasn’t there some­ thing a trifle nervy, a bit disquiet­ ing, about the edges of that voice? There was: ~ : She pecked at her aunt, smiled at McCale; made a few quick, nerv­ous laughing jibes at her family, and said in that modulated, too- well controlled tone, “Anything new come? Present, I mean. Anything exciting?”. Miss Adelaide turned, abruptly as she was about to introduce' McCale to the young man who had come in; with her. - She made a futile ges­ ture as if to ward ’the. girl off, but Veronica was out of the room be* ■fore the movement was even com- pleted. McCale' found himelf hanging in the air, so to speak, pumping the hand of a man whose name he hadn’t heard, The Conquering HeroComes “Storm, Christopher Storm,” the young man said. “You’re Duke McCale and I’ve heard of .you.” ' McCale stifled the impulse to say, “Shush.” He said, “Well,” and let go. the hand, of this ,big fellow who had designed and ' built a house called “ The Nest.” Christopher. Storm Was: tall and lean and athletic. His face' missed being handsome by way of a rather square jaw and: a generous mouth. He had 'candid blue- eyes and curly hair of a nondescript shade. Christopher maneuvered' McCale toward Uie bottled liquids, mixed them both a drink. He motioned to a seat beside himself, saying without preliminary, “Heard about you in that dyehouse racket. Pretty keen deduction. What brings you here?” '• “Wedding presents.” ' - • '“Not realty?- Didn’t knew, you went in for' small, stuff.. . “I have to make a living. Cases like the dyehouse murders are few and far between.” ■ ■ . Storm’s ' blue eyes narrowed. “Well, it. just didn’t seem to mejthat the array of bric-a-brac downstairs warranted your special-talents.” McCale didn’t answer. “Too true, my bright ycung fellow,” be thought, “but if I told you that. all day I’ve been^oddling a tingle that now and then raises the hair on my' head—”“Who called you in?” ’ “Family.” To himself he contin­ ued, “Darn. This Jellow is too in­ quisitive.” . Suddenly McCale caught a glimpse of something—something ugly behind that hail-fellow atti­ tude, that mantel of jauntiness — something he did not like. “Not. Sybil?” Christopher prod­ ded. “Nofdarling Sybil, surety.” . McCale was'saved from making a reply by a peal of light laughter outside the room. A door -banged somewhere.. There was another rip­ ple of merriment mingled with a deeper one, running feet on the stairs, and Veronica ran into the room, followed by a man. —They might have been preceded by a fanfare of trumpets. Every­one stopped talking; everyone turned toward the door as to a stage. It was as if a spotlight had been turned on, startling the audi­ence to quickening anticipation of the star’s entrance. It was sudden and complete. Even McCale was- checked in the act of raising his glass to his lips., -Something boti electric and ani­ mal came into the room with Curt Vallaincourt. Even if there had not been the little piping ecstatic thrill of Sybil’s “Curt, dear!” ; the quick fire that lighted Victoria’s glisten­ ing eyes; the husky overtone;? of Karen saying, “Behold the bride­ groom cometh,” McCale would have known the identity of this phy­ sical rhapsody. Here was a consciously beautiful young man In a great big.way: tall and wide, dark and strong, virile and violent. He had a large,' curly black head, dark eyes that held a passionate promise. He was a dy­ namic .person—the kind to whom things were bowl'd to happen. He acknowledged the introduc­ tion to the detective in a deep strong voice, with a handshake that made McCale almost buckle at the knees.It was three or four minutes be­ fore the blitzkrieg of his arrival set­ tled into a steady, slow apprecia­ tion® of him.' McCale himself was rarely impressed by mere sensual attraction and was loath to admit the catatystic effects of it. Here, if ever, was its complete manifes­ tation, however. He backed away, toward the piano, the better to take the scene apart. As unobtrusively as possible, he let his dark hard stare sweep around the circle. Afterward, he was to come back to that short scene many times, trying to put together the pieces of the riddle as they presented them­ selves in the next few moments. It was all there, had he known it, the: wheels within wheels, "the red thread of danger, the shadow of death. . Each intimate gesture, the shading of a phrase, each bit of con­ versation overheard, held portents deep and inevitable. MorePuszles Developing As it was, the things that re­ mained in his mind to puzzle him were these; Conversation became general though the atmosphere still .contained a peculiar effluvium at underlying edginess. He noticed that Adelaide Bigelow seemed as overcome by the positively theatri­ cal charm of Curt . as. the rest, and that even Stephen had pulled out of his alocholic depression, and was watching Curt with an almost phys­ical worship. Karen glowed/' silver and white. Victoria’s eyes .Were slits. Sybil was watchful. - Stormv was quiet, but appreciative. And Veronica was chatting nervously, the same note of strain in Irer gold­ en diction. She was like a Jsflded fragment tossed in a~ glittering vor­ tex. ’ It was when Curt said, in that compelling voice of his, “Very, mag­nanimous, of you, Chris', to give us The Nest,” that a warning signal flashed in McCale’s brain. It was spoken with such charming naivete, as if, thought McCale, the one thing he really lacked'was manners. He was making a studied conscious ef­ fort. Storm only smiled, steadily. He shrugged, retorting, “Veronica al­ ways gets everything sfie wants.’* • “Oh, Chris/’ Veronica put out her hand to him, started to say some­thing, stopped. Chris turned to her for a brief moment, a blank look-coming over Ijis face. - There Was a lost world in his eyes.. ' Victoria laughed shrilly; She made a quick nervous gesture, bit her lower lip,- apd looked a sudden significant, pleading question — to CuTt. Curt seemed to square off to her. He shook , his head as if he were saying, “No.” Everyone-was concentrating upon Storm and Veronica at that moment and McCale thought-no one else saw. that exchange of glances between those other two. Aftemard he waa to wonder." Vallaincourt went over to his to- ture stepmother-in-law. almost as il in apology for neglecting tier.

UEUORY SELECTION—Except a man be bom again, Ka cannot see the Ungdom ot God.—John 3:3. How does one become a Chris­ tian? This was the question of Nico- demus, and it is the question in the hearts and minds of thousands in every generation. The answer is. clear and definite. The only entrance into the Chris­ tian life is by the door, of the new birth. Regeneration is the act of God w&ereby the divine nature is imparted to the believing sinner and he becomes the child of God. He who has not entered by this way has not entered at all. He is still dead in trespasses and sins, with­ out God and without hope (Eph. 2:1,12). • The Pharisees who looked for the coming of the Messiah as a sec­ ular conqueror wondered at this new spiritual leader.- It was prob­ ably as much on their behalf as his own that. Nicodemus came to in­ quire of Jesus. In answering his questions Jesus reveals the neces­ sity, the nature, and the method of regeneration. • . . I. The New Birtb^-a Necessity (w . 1-7). ... Our Lord’s Visitffr was a man of distinction and standing in the com­ munity, but Jesus was not unduly impressed by the dignity and high station of his visitor, nor by the vis­ itor’s courteous aknowledgment of' his own position as a great teacher. With decisive boldness Jesus de­ clares that fills man, a cultured and distinguished ruler of the Jews, must be bom again, if he is to see the kingdom of God. God is no respecter of persons. The doctor of-divinity must be bora again just as much as the illiterate fisherman. D. L. Moody once said that he was. thankful it was to such a man as Nicodemus that Jesds presented the necessity of the new birth, or men would have said that only the down-and-outer needed to be saved. Two reasons are given by our Lord for the “must” of verse 7: (I) The Kingdom of God is a spirit­ ual Kingdom and cannot be en­tered by way of our human nature; and (Z) "that which is born of Ita flesh is flesh” and is radically and essentially bad. To learn why that is true read Jeremiah 13:23 and Galatians 5:19-21, ... Scripture, on this point is almost diametrically opposed to much of the teachings in our schools and colleges. But God’s Word is right; let us follow it. n. The New Birth—a Mystery <w. 8-11). God has graciously revealed to us “all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowl­ edge” of Christ (H Pet. 1:3). But it is true—and we say quite appro­ priately true — that he has . some things hidden in his own blessed counsels. We know'the experience of the new birth. .We see the blessed .results of regeneration. But what actually takes place is a divine mystery, not fathomable by human reason. Those who insist that all spiritual truth be put through the little" norm of their intelligence will never understand it or receive its blessing-(I Cor. 2:14). The striking illustration of the life-giving - and energizing wind used by our Lord is most illuminat­ ing. Wihd is unseen,' but the re­ sults of its. movement are evident. Even so the spiriual rebirth of men is an enigma to the worldly man, but even he can see its results in godly living. We know that regeneration is not only a possibility, but an actuality., a fact; in.troth, the greatest of all facts. ' in . The New Birth-a BeaUty (w . 16, 17). Just as there was: healing and life in. a look at the uplifted serpent in the wfldemess^(Num. 21:8), so Uiere is life for a look ait the-Cruci­ fied One. Faith receives God’s per­ fect’ provision for sin. Verse 16 may Well be .regarded as the greatest sentence in -the greatest Book' in the world. It presents the whole plan of salva­ tion—its source, its ground, its re­ cipients,'’its condition, and its re-' suit.' : This glorious salvation is for all men—“whosoever” r-but' some re­ ject it. Notice that Goit does not condemn, them. Their .own evil works and desires Condemn them (w. 17-20). God in his grace is r'eady and willing to save, but men love "darkness rather than light,” for their .works are .evil. Oiir .tender, loving heavenly Fath­ er has no desire to condemn any­ one. The_man or woman who falls under his condemnation of sin ;does: so by choice. God's .desire is that all^should be. saveis?

Consistently .I .W^ui informed by labor leaders, government of­ficials, and industrialists' in all of the eight countries I visited that the most disturbing element in each na­ tion was the Communist element. In every country the confusion wrought by the Communists was quite disconcerting. In England, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, and Switzerland the Communist element was not large in number. But it was well organized. Apparently the movement was receiving funds from abroad in each country, for a cam­ paign all out of proportion to actual size of the organization' was in progress. In France, although the Communist party is not the larg­ est, it has the best organization and is recognized as the strongest single party in France. How About America? 'Confusion, today, is not confined to Europe. In America we have been having a lot of confusion. We are facing the most serious industrial problems in our history. Though the war has been over for 15 months, our industry is still dragging badly. Production, in nearly every field, is disappointing. But an abundant by­ product is confusion, and more con­fusion. Industry wants to produce, for that is the only way it can make money. Some of our largest manufacturing establishments have actually lost money instead of making money in the past twelve months. Industry is not- pleased with this situation, . and' I cannot, believe they, are pur­ posely trying to keep it that way. Labor finds it difficult to live on cur­ rent income.' Labor’s need is wages, and I cannot believe that labor as a whole wants confusion, work stop­ pages, and Jight production.Does the government want to hin­ der production? Surely it wants the people to have food, clothing, trans­ portation, and housing. Yet, when" we have every reason to believe that labor, industry, and government want production, we are not getting production. Despite the desire of the-three groups to avoid confusion, yet we have confusion confounded. A Growing Menace J. Edgar Hoover, many years head of the Federal Bureau of In­ vestigation, a trusted citizen and public servant, is in a position to understand perhaps better than any other person what is happening in America. In a speech.pn the West Coast, September 30, he decried the growing menace of Communism, de­ claring that “in the past five years American Communists have made their deepest inroads upon our na­tional rights.” Their false preachments on civil liberty mean that Communists want the right to do as they please. Those who seek to provoke prejudice and stir up the public mind to angry, re­sentment against our form of gov­ ernment are a menace to the very powers of law and order which guar­ antee and safeguard popular rights. Said Mr. Hoover: "Communism has. spread Fascism and Fascism spawns Communism. Both are the antithesis of American belief in lib­ erty and freedom. If people of oth­ er countries want Communism, let them have it, but it has no place in America.” It is time to stand up and be counted, indeed. LOOKING AHEAD, GEORGE & BENSON Pttsiieat-Hteitaj Ctlkje Searej. Jrlaasas Undulant Socialism A sick republic,.like a human in­ valid, passes through a crisis in the course of almost any protracted ill­ ness. After the crisis, the patient rallies toward recovery or sinks 'with alarming haste toward the end. Whatever is to be done after a cri­ sis must be accomplished with dis­ patch, w it is too late. The Eng­ lish - government passed through a crisis approximately a year ago. Gtoca England’s current adminis­ tration proclaimed Usplf owner and .,operator of. the coal mines, Britain Iua been viewed popularly as Sor clalistio—one of the collectivist na­ tions. Not all the individuals in the Empira are socialists. Large ele­ ments are not Biit this large mi­ nority is being forgotten. Curtains are being drawn. The crisis is over and England has-gone left. A Leing Time Dead. There is something strangely final about it when a free people turns its course toward State Socialism. Liberty never comes back without a revolution and then it’s not the same. Such is the testimony of re­ corded history. Industrially, Eng­ land is a coal country and private enterprise lost its last stronghold on the enchanted island when King Coal surraedered. Now the ailment that prostrated John Bidl has been communicated to Unde Sam. The symptoms are unmistakable as uhdulant fever; wave upon wave of collectivist pow­ er, with a Show of growing inten­ sity. Our government has taken over our coal mines from their own­ ers because of, work '.stoppages through strikes—strikes by the best paid group of mine workers on earth. Here’s the Pattern I think perhaps the workers ought to have had an increase in pay, which fhey.no doubt could have ob­ tained without striking. Neverthe­ less, they struck and government took over the business long enough, at least, to close a new contract giving an increase of $1.85 a day per man and a royalty of 5c a ton on coal to give their union a “wel­ fare” fund. The new “welfare” fund has no relation to the union’s side and accident fund, already large.The new contract will raise the the price of coal 25c to 30c a ton and build up the “welfare” fund at the rate of 25 million dollars a year. The Senate has approved the executive department’s right to im­ pose title contract on the mine owners when they take their prop­ erty back. This is an attack of the undulant socialism. Works Like This: Government can now control the cost of coal to the owner of a mine. By fixing labor’s wage, a ruler can make coal production cost whatever M its his fancy. Government al­ ready controls the price of coal to the consumer through the workings of die OFA. The neck of the coal industry is in a legal nut-cracker and government has the power to choke it to death at will—that, or take it over entirely. Witii the sanction of Congress, which I hope never comes, federal „m/»i»l« candoto any industry what they are doing to. coal. Each as­ sault on lreedom will be one more attack of the dread disease, undu­ lant Socialism. It works like the fever which, scientific men say, can be cured in rare instances if vigor­ ous treatment is begun in the early stages.

' Hounding the Public .- When there’s a shortage of any. thing, apparently the bureaucrats prefer to boub'i the public with the shortage than to increase the supply Tbe war has ended over 16 months and we continue to have sugar rationing. Word comes out from Washington that the home users of sugai are-going to get just a wee bit more sngrr in 1947. And .think that the.powers that be are doing- the public a tremenduous favor. Whatever sugar there, is, the government would dole it out. If there, bad .been as much effort to increase sug-ir production as Jbere has been to bound tbe public with a sugar rationing rangover ‘from war times, there would be ample supplies of sugar to fill all legiti­ mate demands. If the pr<ee of sugar during the past two vears had been a low prire in comparison _with prices ot other commodities, there would be plenty of sugar and no rationing bv now. Instead . the OPA wanted some­ thing to which to point with pride, sugar production was stifled - To progress as this nation should, we should get away from restric ttons and- shortage into an era of pienty.

GEO.. CROTTS.' Mgr. 511J N. Liberts Street THE DAVIE RECQRD. MOCKSVJLLE, N. C. BIG FABMS VS. SMAIX FARMS WASHINGTON. — Inside- fact behind the senate small business committee's release of the report on small-scale and large-scale farm­ing is that the report had been sup­ pressed for nearly two years by big CaUfornia land interests. | I The very fact that the bureau of agricultural' economics dared make the study was one. reason the last' congress cut its research funds. The . study so infuriated Representative Al Elliott, California Democrat and -friend of the big farmers, that he , has fought aU appropriations for ’ . farm, research ever since. The study was begun in the sum­ mer of 1944, while Congressman El- Uott was leading s fight to repeal the' old law by which no one could own more than 160 acres of U. S. reclamation land. The study com­ pared two towns in San Joaquin val­ ley section of California’s huge Cen­tral valley—one, Arvin, is composed mainly of workers on large industri­ alized farms; the other, Dinuba, is . made up largely of people who own and work their own farms. ■ It was found that Dinuba; the small farm community, had two independent business establish­ ments to every one In Arvin, the big farm community; that retail ' trade was 61 per cent greater ip Dinuba; that 20 per cent : more people were supported by I the same dollar volume in agri- : culture in Dinuba than in Arvin; : that the residents of Dinnba had a far higher standard of living- better streets, garbage disposal, ’. schools, parks, public recrea- * tion, more churches, participa- - tion in local government, two : newspapers to one. -' The study was recognized by econ­ omists as of great importance, but" the pressure of large farmers and! landholders was too great. It lay buried until it was brought to the; attention of fair-minded Sen. Jim’ . Murrayof Montana, chairman of the I small business committee. He de­ termined to publish it. >* • . SURPLUS GRAVY The comedy of errors that led to discovery of more than two million gallons of high octane gasoline in surplus military planes sold to a Jefferson City, Mo., scrap dealer caused an epi- , demic of red faces at War Assets administration. However, WAA chief Gen. Robert Littlejohn and his aides would have been even more em- ; banassed had the whole story leaked out. Besides, the 5,546 planes with their $700,000 worth . of gas sold to the Missonri deal­ er, WAA also sold about 15,000 other planes, also tanked up with high octane gas. This fact, how­ ever, didn’t get out. In addi­ tion, dealers who bought the planes reaped a tidy windfall from costly radio equipment, motors and gears. • * • . OIL SALESMAN LEWIS In the coal and oil trade, John L. Lewis is sometimes called: “The greatest oil salesman in history.” Here is the reason why: Railroad- after railroad, unable to afford costly tie-ups from coal strikes, now is converting from coal to oil. There was a day when the railroads, deriving a tremendous revenue from hauling coal, sided with the coal operators and the min­ ers in opposing' oil. But not now. ; The Boston and Maine, which, next co the Maine 'Cfntral, pays more per ton for coal than any other rail­ road, is switching to diesel engines as quickly as possible. The Jersey Central, which taps the Pennsyl­ vania- anthracite fields, slso'is going over to diesels. And the Pennsyl- vania, which runs straight through the best bituminous coal fields in the East, is laying in some diesel switch engines. But the most interesting conver­ sions are taking place'on tile Union - !Pacific. That road has long burned oil to some extent, but it also hap­ pens to be the sixth largest coal pro­ ducer in the world, with a produc­tion of 6,500,000 tons annually. 1 The towns of Rock Springs and Hanna, Wyo., are almost dhtfrely dependent on coal mined for the • Union Pacific. Today, however, those towns may become like the skeleton mining cities of the gold-rnsh days. ^ ‘ For, in addition to 600 oil-bumipg locomotives, the Union. Pacific now . is converting all mainline passenger.. trains to oil. In addition, their “Big Boy” freight locomotives, the ' world's heaviest, are converting, to­ gether with 115 switchers and 45. diesel units. The Santa Fe also has just ordered, new dieSel units. . . 4 .; * *. ■* ‘MERRY-GO-ROUND ' Gen. Mark W.

By VIRGINIA VALE TIME was when a motion pic­ ture actor was just an actor; very few Hollywood stars went in for business enterprises on the side. But nowadays there’s hardly one who isn’t emulating Bing Crosby in making money earn money. Alan Ladd not long ago bought a partnership in a' Santa Monica restaurant. And Bill Holden, While working in “Dear Ruth,” joined Arthur Treacher, band leader Carl HoS and radio producer Andrew. G.

Jack Baker has one of the oddest jobs in Hollywood; he makes plas­ tic barnacles for all pier, dock and wharf sequences in Warner Bros, films. He also equips houses with artificial icicles—shapes them by hand from cellophane and silicate of soda, then dips them' in alcohol to make them brittle. You’ll see some of his best in Errol'Flynn’s “Never Say Goodbye.” 1■ —m— Nanette Parks, who’s been under contract to Paramount for the last year, received a wonderful present for her 21st birthday—the lead in "Catalina,” a Technicolor musical.

After the'eighth pie hit the dust the properly man, Lou Haf ely, deflated the pie tin and inserted two pins on each side for balance; toe ninth pie stayed put. * — *— . It’s no wonder that the girls like to . work for Director MitcheR Lei- sen; stars like Paulette Goddard and Olivia.de HaviRand say they do, and more and more of the top notchers are asking to be assigned to his films. HeV introduced a new meth- . od in “Suddenly It’s Spring”—holds rehearsals without make-up for the . first hour or two, so the girl’s' don’t have to report at the crack'of dawn. Bing Crosby, who has crooned-in 47 languages, including Esperanto, win sing a typical Brazilian sang in Portuguese in “Road to Rio” ; his tutor is IlOitis Oliveira, who’ll act as technical advisor on toe picture. S As in toe four previous “Road” pic- tures, Crosby will be teamed with Boh Hope and.Dorotoy Lamour, with Nofman McLeod directing. Daniel Dare is producing for Paramount. - Most .musical plays or films haVe not more than half a dozen new tunes, but nearly every Abbott and CosteRo air show this season has in­cluded a specially written musical number in which the theme dove­ tails with the story line of the Thurs­ day NBC broadcast.

GERALD ,D R O W N W.N.U FEATURES Hnke McCaIe, private detective. Is en­ cased by wealthy old Miss Bigelow, to Euard her niece’s wedding presents: Mc- Cale goesses there is something sinister In the situation, and so accepts. He meets'Mrs. SybU Bigelow, the bride’s mother, Victoria and Stephen Bigelow,” the bride’s brother and sister, and Mrs. Stephen Bigelow, a strikingly beantitul. blonde woman. Later he becomes ac­ quainted with Christopher Storm, a not-. Cd architect, who'is too inquisitive, to. suit McCaIe. Then he meets Veronica,* the bride-to-be, .an attractive and Intel­ ligent girl, and the bridegroom-to-be, the extremely handsomb' Cnrt' VaUain- conrt,-big and masterful. He gives Ve- ' ronlca a strange, meaningful glance. CHAPTER IV jWhen Curt began, to take his leave, he doled himself out. Stephen he treated Rke a brother, Storm as an affectionate friend. It was the women who bit at his heels, most avidly. Miss Adelaide glowed, turned coy. SybR shook herself out Of the sulks, simpered. Victoria looked at him hotly; and Karen’s eyes kindled with an icy fire. Veronica waited tolerantly, as if she could wefi afford to do so. He crossed to . her finafly in-his negR- gently graceful, stride. Hei took her hands in his big ones and, leaning over, whispered in her ear. She laid her-bronze head against the massiveness of his. chest for a mo­ ment. ■ Ehreryohe must‘have heard -her say, “. . . But it’s aR. right now, darling. AR right. I’m so glad—I was devastated!” . ' Victoria’s eyes were half-closed, mere pencil strokes in her Beards­ ley face, and Karen’s only move­ ment was the tapping of a carmine fingernafi on the arpi ,of her chair. Curt kissed his fiancee. And then McCale knew;. - There was no acting in that kiss. This was-no embrace in'the thundering animal way . of a Tarzan. This was not the selling power behind perfect merchandise. In spite of the stories, in spite of the man’s reputation, he was really in love with Veronica Bigelow. It was. in his eyes. It was. unmistak­ able- How- could anyone m that room not know it? ; Then the party broke up.. It was after that that Victoria laughed de­ risively, and in passing Christopher said slyly, “You big, big fool! Tot give them The Nest.. Don’t tell me you wanted to.” Christopher smiled in a depressed manner, got up and took her arm. As they headed for the door, Mc- Cale heard , him say, “Calm your­ self, Vicky, my girl. ‘To the vic­ tor belongs the spoUs’.” “Rats,” she answered. “You’re a congenital idiot.” Adelaide Bigelow had been snuff­ ing out candles here' and there. She switched off a table lamp and came over to McCale, who .stood in the fireUght, a dark figure, sorting his impressions. The old furniture and trappings seemed to flicker and dis­ solve in the half-light. The fire pulsed in the grate, “You won’t.need me tonight?” he asked, as if it were finished: : “ No—I think not—” she faltered. “WiR you'telephone me in the morn­ ing?.” ■ ;. “Of course.” ' “I shaR need you,” she said with emphasis. She looked older mid more haggard in the gloom. He nodded as she fofiowed' him to the door.' “I think I should, have one of my. operators on duty here tonight.” “Oh, no—it won’t be at SR neces­sary.” . . “—The wedding gifts.” There was an oh-so-subtle tinge of sarcasm in his tone/ . . ' . She s m ile d uncomfortably. “They’D be afl right.”* “Very weD:” “He was outside, in the corridor. “Mr. McCale.”“Yes.” : “You saw the bridegroom.. What do you think?” \ He hesitated;. “Very handsome:” He knew that'wasn’t the answer she wanted. “Is that aR?” “Character? I couldn’t say. I' simply recognize him as a I type— one over which I’m not'enthusias­tic.’’ • “I watched you this afternoon. You are so calm. Don’t you ever get excited?” He chuckled. “I have a very even” temperament.” She looked disappointed, but he would make no further comment. “Good night.” .“Good night.” . DinnerDateat The White Abbey As he. walked crosstown, he felt strangely, disembodied, like some-' one -commg from- the theater—a theater where one had seen a queer- Iy disturbing drama. On impulse he entered the first drugstore that he saw. He dialed the Bigelow number, waiting impa­ tiently • until he heard Miss Ade- . laide’s voice. ...•■.■■ *• , ;. “On second - thought,” he said,' “Fve decided that it is necessary-' to have my assistant in your house tonight A Mr. Bjorkland. He wiR report to you at.eight. Good night again-” He hung up before ..she . could acquiesce or demur.- Then he caDed his own number. Rocky answered.“HeDo, Rocky. - I want you to spend the night at the Bigelows.” “Okay, boss.. What’s/cooking?” ■ “Something — yes — but nothing that I can-get . my teeth into. I know there’s something . wrong, though.” .. “Do you want me to watch' out for anything in particular?” • “No-o-o. Just keep your eyes and ears open. I won’t . even: give you my reactions to the Bigelow clan, I want an unbiased opinion from you to the : morning. You’re sup­ posed to be guarding, those precious wedding gifts. Miss Bigelow wiR be expecting you -at. eight' o’clock. Ask for her. You’d better-run along now and get ‘yourself some grub. Piit Ann on the line, wiR you?” “The power behind.;the' throne,” quipped ■ Rocky,. “took her Tnyail de­parture at the stroke of six.” “Just like that?” ;; “Yeah. She had a wicked gleam to her eye when she sealed the note she left for you- I’R toy oddsthafc, . she’s up to -some devfitry.” “No doubt WeR1 I’R/be seeing you to the morning!

JESDS CEOSSES RACIAL BOUNDARIES L e sso n t e x t —John 4 :4.10, zm o. sm s. MEMORY SELECTION—WbOsoever drink- etta ot the water that I ahall give hlm ahaS never thirst.—John 4:14. , ' RaCial and social prejudice divide mankind, -although they are reaDy one family by the creation of God. Speaking a thousand or . more tongues and countless dialects; liv­ ing to separated areas; suffering un­der or pridtog themselves in (as the case may be) a certain social order,, and disagreeing even about the things of God; they manage to. build up iformidable barriers between then- various, groups. , The Word of . God by. both precept and practical example teaches just' the opposite; - I. Barriers Bridcai (w. 441). Contrast the woman-of- Samaria with Nicodemus, whose coming to Christ we studied last week. He was. rich; she was poor. He was a jew; she rVas of the mixed race of Samar­ itans. He was a man of character and high position; she was immoral and uneducated. - He sought Jesus; Jesus sought her. In doing so; he . cut straight across the barriers of race, tradition, social position, education,: everything. He was interested in. her soul’s salva­ tion and nothing could stand to his way. We would do weD to foDow his example. ' -V - Every Christian is by his very calling a sdul-winner. We dare not; .delegate this responsibility to the pastor or missionary. As soul-wto- ners we are vitally interested to our Lord’s approach to tiiis woman who was far from God, apparently hope­ lessly involved in sinful associations, a citizen of' a hostile nation and an adherent !of another, religious faith. By 'asking a Rtvof of her, Chnst tactfully placed Mmself (as does any petitioner), for the moment, on/her own plane. He was not a distant, learned religious leader deigning to cast a bit of- reRgious philosophy to her. He was a tired, thirsty man asking for'a drink of water.- But he was more! He Was the gracious Son of God, declaring to her that' he was ready'to- give, to her the water of life,. H. Problems Solved (w . 9, 10, 27-30). ' . -' The first problem this poor woman4 had to face was her sin-problem.. Is not that, true of aR of us? -. ■ She first tried to avoid it by rais­ ing the raofe problem, and the reply of .Jesus told her of the water of life; Her quick desire to escape the drudgery; of carrying water, gave him opportunity to face her with her sin. She could never find peace and. joy until there was a frank and open facing of sin in her life. Let us make no mistake at this point, for the moral law. of God is. the same now as it was on that far- off day when Jesus brought the woman of Samaria face to face with her own sto; \ Possibly In an effort to evade her moral problem by theologicaldiscus- sion (a common,practice to our day, too!), and partly because of her ig­ norance ofTrue worship, she asked a question about, a controversial matter relating . to outward cere­ mony. Is (t. not a. singular , thjpg. how men Who know nothing, of spir­ itual life delight to the propagation and defense of organisations and to the conduct'of outward reiigiCuk ex­ ercises? . - Truie worship is revealed (v. 23). a's .being'first “to spirit.” We do not cast aside aR external helps to worship, but real’ worship: ^oes through and beyond both place and sjrmbol to real soul communion with God, second, ‘-‘in truth.”- . The disciples were, wise enough not to interfere with.what Jesus was doing (personal workers take note!), and it was not long before the wom­an saw Jesus as the Christ! Observe how qmckly she went to teU others, m . Salvatjion Declared (w . 39-42). Jesus honors this poor faDen wom­ an -by making to her his first dec­ laration of himself a s the Messiah (w. 26, 27). He. is the high -and exalted One, but he is at the same time the friend .of sinners. To-Nico­demus, the learned, - ruler of ■ the Jews, he spoke of the new birth. To the poor woman of Samana he de­ clared his^ Messiahship. He is no respecter of persons, and neither are those who truly foDow him: * Those whom the woman brought to Jesus saw and heard for themselves, and many of them believed. Per­ sonal testimony is a wonderful thing, but the ultimate purpose of such wit­ ness is to get men to come-by faith totothe presence of the,Lord Jesus himself. • A personal e^ierience with Chnst leads to real r assurance; without which there can be no spintual growth or usefulness. -May ihany who read these-words, and who have so often heard and read about Jesus, come to him-to­ day so that they may-say: “Now we believe . . for we have-heard him ourselves, and know that this is in­ deed the Chnst, the Saviour of the world” (v. 42).

Senator Vandenberg says he is not a can didate. The Record is still back- iug Gov. Tom Dewey. A man who can carry New York State by nearly a million majority has some­ thing to brag about. When Christ was o n earth nearly two thousand years ago he wentabout doing good. He wenc into the synagogues and- expound­ ed the Scriptures, he healed the sick and fed the hungry. He at­ tended one marriage in GalhIee by turning the water into wine But you don’t read in Holy Writ where he ever attended a card party or visited a dance hall. A Correction In the County Exhibit which appeared in our last issue, two lines in the Income Summary were left out. The lines were, “Sundry Income, $13,464.78; Taxes Prior Years, $244.25.” Accidents will happen in the best regulated print shops. W. R. Taylor William Ross Taylor, 78, of Ad­ vance, died at his home Saturday after an illness of several moutns. Mr. Taylor was bom January 20. 1868 in Davie County in Davie County, son of John and Minerva HowardTaylor. He is survived by his wife; three brothers, Rev. S. W. Taylor of Asheboro, J. H. Taylor of Maxton, C. J- Taylor of Advance; one sis ter, Miss Sallie Taylor of Ashe- bora. Funeral was held at 2-»p. m. Mdnday at Advance' Methodist Church with Rev. Howard Jordan pastor officiating. Interment was in the church cemetery. HuW We Stand John Henry Seats A preacher asked us a few days, "ago how we stood on the liuupr store question? For the past 40 years we have worked -for prohi­ bition week in and week out. The Record is opposed to opening li­ quor stores in Davie or any other county In North Carolina. The people of: this state voted dry. by an overwhelming majority in 1908, and would do so again if given the opportunity. Governor Cherry forgot to say anything about a' re­ ferendum on the liquor question in his message to the legislature. - Some of our folks put up the argument that if Davie had liquor stores the blockaders and bootleg­ gers would be forced out of busi­ ness. Durham, Wake, New Han­ over and about 23 other counties have liquor stores, but the boot­ leggers are still doing business in these wet counties. Many of our young people would buy liquor from a liquor store who would not go to the trouble to hunt up a bootlegger. Dmnkenness would increase with liquor easy to get. The object m opening liquor stores is to increase the sale of intoxi­ cants. The more liquor sold by A.B.C. Stores the more reverfue. We would advise our good citi­ zens to rea<^ their Bibles and con­ sult their paStors before signing a petition to open liquor stores, or before they vote to legalize the sale of liquor in Davie County. The Record is the only paper in Davie County that doesn’t carry wine and beer advertising. We try to practice what we preach. Bill Fuller, after spending sever al days with Herbert Eidson, on R. 2, returned to his home in die Keystone State Wednesday. II John HenrV Seats, 80, died at his home in the Farmington com­ munity on Jan. 12th. Mt.

C; In WASHINGTON By Woltfer Shead WNU Cam^pendMt \ WNU Wasbiogtea Sureaa 1616 Eya St., N. W, Veterans* Organizations Mighty Pressure Groups X T ETERANS of Uncle Sam’s mill- ' tary establishment are receiving benefits at the rate of $15,376,174,665 for the fiscal years 1946 and 1947, .and what’s more they can get what­e v e r .they want for the next fiscal year from this new 80th congress. 1 One out of every four adult Amer­ icans is a veteran,, distributed in the same ratio throughout every con­ gressional district in the country, so veterans and veterans’ organizations constitute the top pressure groups in ' the country. They have a long legis­ lative program mapped out for this congress. Main features of this pro­ gram, which are likely to receive fa­ vorable consideration, include re­ peal of the on-the-job training pay ceiling and the time limit, cash ter­ minal leave payments, increase in pensions and subsistence allowances and liberalization of government in­ surance policies. Then there are such matters as housing, universal military train­ ing, liberalization of reemployment rights and other subjects of particu­ lar interest to veterans. The 79th congress, during its two-year ses­ sion, passed most veterans’ legisla-. tion on voice vote, the members not bothering with a roll call; except on - measures where they wanted to get on record as having favored a specific proposal. Closest record vote on a piece of veterans’ legislation in the 79th con­ gress was 225 to 39 in the house on a bill to give priorities to Veterans’ administration for hospital equip­ ment. In two years the senate of the 79th congress took only one rec­ ord vote on a matter-of sole con­cern to veterans, the measure in­ troduced by Sen. Joseph Ball (Rep., Minn.) to subtract mustering-out pay from terminal leave payments. It. was rousingly defeated by a vote of 67 to 12. • • Bigger, Better BeneRta Most items in the legislative pro­ grams of the four top veterans’ or­ganizations call for increasing bene­ fits to be paid to members. Most fertile fields for this increase in cash benefits lie in pension and subsis­tence allowances, in changing tech­ nical definitions through which pen­ sion rates are set, or in reclassify-' ing disability ratings. American Le­ gion will push a measure to give an education allowance of $50 a month to orphans over 16, of veterans of the first and second world wars who died as a result of war service. VFW proposes that World War I veterans have the same pension rights as Civil and Spanish-American war veterans, who are presumed to be totally disabled at 65, thereby giv­ ing them full pensions. AMVETS wants a 15 per cent increase in sub­ sistence allowances to veterans go­ ing to school under the G.I. bill and a measure which would pay dis­ ability compensation on the basis of cost of living. S All four organizations, Legion, VFW1 AMVETS and AVC, are for taking the ceiling off on3he-job pay­ments; three of the four—Legion, AMVETS 'and VFW—want cash ter­ minal leave payments; Legion and VFW want universal military train­ ing, WhilefAVC is against it and AM- VETS has taken no stand.

Appropriations for the 1917 fiscal year for pensions was $1,905,000,000 and for 1916 it was $1,080,150,000. G.I. bill benefits which include sub­ sistence. and other benefits, exclu­ sive of .unemployment compensa­ tion, totaled $3,491,387,000 for 1947 and $795,000,000 for the 1916 fiscal year. Terminal leave pay appro­ priation ,for 1917 was $2,431,708,000. This was to be issued in five-year bonds: Now the veterans'want their terminal leave in cash, and they likely will get it. So in all probability the expendi­ tures for our wa'r veterans will take a decided hike for the 1948 fiscal ’ year in the face of a promise aind an expressed determination by the new'Republican leadership to slash ■ the cost of government, Congress­man Dwight L.

ButxIyhat has become of the color that, the games once knew? There is prob- ;ably, or possibly, greater skill !and ability around than sport ever has known. But it is quite possible that the big^gates and.the bigger pay,, for pros'- and college alike, have, throttled ai vital quality of competi­tion. I think, it has. The pay check now dominates : the scene. j Tou might ask me just whatcolor is. Here’s one answer—Babe Bnth,1' Jack"-D em psey, Bobby Jones, Bill Tilden, Man o’War, Tommy Hitchcock,Earl Sande, Dizzy Dean (in capital tetters), Walter Ha­gen; Exterm ina­ tor, Knnte Bockne1 (also in capital let­ ters), George Glpp,Hurry-up Tost, Bob Znppke, Pepper Martin and Frank Frisch. Each one of these was a champion, but’Some-. thing more than a champion; For each one had a crowd appeal that is. sadly lacking today. For example, Leo Durocher of the Dodgers has drawn more comment than any five managers. Leo is a great manager. But a large flock of this publicity has come from details far apart from baseball. Ted Wil- ,Jiams drew more words, favorable-, and unfavorable, than any other' ball player last year. So Ted must have had a type of color. They at least kn^w he was around, likihg him or hating him. Joe Louis has the color of ring, perfection—one of the greatest fight­ ers of all time. But outside of tins Joe is an extremely quiet fellow who doesn’t like the great bright spotlight. tJust Business Men* InBenfioganandByronITelspn, golf has' two of the greatest', golf­ ers the ancient Scottish game' has ever sent to the faiirways. But. who; cduld say they were in the same' class with Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen or Gene Sarazen for crowd appeal? They are two prominent business men who can break -70, col­lect their dough and move along. Staa Musial, one of flie nicest people you ever met, a great ball player, • the top of the year, isn’t colorful in any sense of the word. Stan is just a great ball player. He wants to be nothing else. Neither , is Eddie Dyer, an able manager and a greatfellow. Sport today has be­ come big business. There is plenty m the way of sport left, but', with the billions, not the. millions, in­volved, a lot 'of color has seeped out. ■ 4 1 was talking about this color angle with' Frank Frisch, the New Rochelle flower expert. “Just what is, color?” I asked Frisch, as Johnny Kieran cocked an attentive ear, a IQeran habit when any.. information is coming along. . \ “The basis of all color,” Frlseh said; ‘‘is always -ability' first. No punks get by. Many have, tried to use color, or' so-csflled color, - in the place of ability. It won't work. Color means/ Dempsey, Jimes, Hitchcock, Grange, etc., all stars. Color is also a natural Quality. It can’t be faked. Two of the most colorful ball players of all time .were , Babe Suth and Dizzy Dean. iThey were naturals. They, always Iwere' exactly what they were. Human, and likable, but great artists. But. they were real—not phonies. How? that mob can spot a phony. Game’s the Thing Noiv: “The? game doesn’t need color to­ day,” Frisch said. “You can startT a dog fight between two terriers and draw 10,000 people. Ball clubs that were far down .in the second division drew from 800,000" to 1,000 ,000 . Football games that meant, nothing except another football game were sellouts. Today it is. the. spectacle, the contest, that fills a fstadium. or a park, not any outstanding star. It’s the game, the show today, not an individual star.” This is all true. It all may be: for the general good of sport. After all, only the game couBts. .But de­ spite this any writer hanging around for. human copy misses Hagen, - Waiddell,' Tost, Zuppbe- and many- others ~ who: had a. .certain hu- manappeal that so few have today. Sport competitors are serious peo­ple ,working at a big job now. Most of ithem have outstanding ability: But-with too many it is more !business ' than sport. ,The pressure is heavy.-The big. idea is winning. Today We have only a feiiK'left— and I can’t even' remembe^ their names. Joe Louis? The top cham­ pion of them all—who limits liis-pub- ' licity to ring efficiency. In baseball we have.Ted Williams—who is still a big story when he flops. Stan Musial, the best ball player in the game today, -is just the best ball­ player. He has no interest > in ahyi outside headlines. FootbfeU' coaches —able business men with a big jdbto' do. No particular color. No Bocktyfe, no Zuppke, no Yost. It may W bet­ter this way. ■..." ■ .<■’ ., But it’s duller. ■!

Jlttlp countries of Europe. . About the size of two of our average states, her population is only three million, —half that of New - York City. A ■ parliament: is elected by direct vote of the people every four :years, aha . it constitutes the real authority of: • the nation. They hnfe a King, who-| reigns bijt does nbt rule, Next to J the King, the. speaker of the par-. Iiament is the Mghest official in the ' country. The fairhaired Norwegians. are a strong, sturdy" people,, whose < chief quality is individualism. Communism invaded' Norway at the end of World War I." A "labor” , party was created by the Commu- 1 nists, but .eventually most of its members went over to the “Socialist Democrats,” now the leading party controlling more-than half the ISO seats in parliament. The extent to which Marxian philosophies .have : been made into harmful practice is evident when one examines the pres­ ent state of Norwegian industry. It is apparent Lthat the early Commu- ' nist influence did not just disappear in an assimilation into the leading labor party, but remains like a hun­ gry dog, strayed from Russia, and is now eyeing the prosperous mer­ chant fleet of Norwayf Equalization I The greatest private industry Nor­ way has ever developed is her mer­chant marine that sails the seven seas, all out of proportion to the size of the country. .This shipping indus­ try has been the chief source of revenue for.balancing the national budget and 'for obtaining essential foreign credit. It remains the back­ bone of Norwegian finance. Present policies of the Socialist - government, in aJl attempt to ,equal­ ize everything for everybody, are seriously threatening this important industry. This is the pattern: It took 4,600,000 government dollars to subsidize the distribution of milk last year, therefore to meet the cost of this subsidy a 4,600,000 dollar tax was placed on the shipping industry because it had experienced a good year and appeared able to pay. KlUing^the Gmise A.reliable Norwegian informant told this story. The merchant ma­ rine lost many ships durpg the war, and although thgy were insured by Lloyd’s of London it was impossible to transfer the money to Norway while the couiftry was in the grip of the Germans. Accordingly, the funds : were held as credit in London. The present Socialist government now looks anxiously over the books of the shipping companies. If they •' conclude that a lost ship had quit# ' paid for itself, they tax the company 85% of the face df the insurance pol­icy. This extremely high tax on the shipping industry, plbs virtual con­ fiscation- of insurance premiums\on lost ships, threatens to reduce the industry to the detriment of the en­tire nation. • -n. This is a fine example of' killing, flie goose to get'more eggs immedi- • ately, but the production of golden eggs in the future is definitely threatened. I cannot help feeling that the source of this sort of thing in Norway was the stray dog in­ fluence of Communism. I found 9 the. distinct opinion of those who have done most .to create the wealth of Norway that the greatest present threat to progress now is monopoly »nH regimentation. Vital Economy Heairing that it would not be nec­ essary for anybody to pay any ,fed­ eral taxes for a period of 12 months would have been goqg news to a lot of people any year for two dec­ades before World War H. It would have occupied acres:of front-page space , in metropolitan papers,‘ uti­ lized hours of radio time and con­ sumed gallons of red ink. It might have started a buying boom. The money , people used to put out in federal takes' was staggering (then) although the amount seems small In contrast to what they have- . been paying Uktdy and,probably will keep paying for several years. Just the same, pre-war taxes were big money and, even now, would be worth saving. Thate exactly the point I want to make in this depart­ ment today; It am be saved. Over Twice EnoughCivilian employees of the United States government today number approximately 2,800,000 when 1,250,- 000 woi4d be plenty. Even this IoW figure is about twice what we had fSix months after World War I. In short, government has 1,550,000 un­necessary hirelings now—more peo­ ple than ,live in The Bronx, in Los Angeles or in St. Louis plus all of its suburbs. It is humiliating to think about. --" AU of this enormous host, of peo­ ple are eating out of the public breadbasket. They are not to be thought about as if they had private wealth and had retired to pursue some impractical hobby. Such peo­ ple-as that do, at least, -distribute wealth previously put away. The people I am talking about are dead­ weight on the rest of us. They sub­ sist on federal tax revenue. FtveBlfllionGrand Since their average annual in­ come is about $2,400 each, they are costing the taxpayers of the United States every year the staggering sum. of $3,720,000,000 In salaries 'alone. Everybody who hires sal­ aried people knows well that sal­ aries are not all the expense they incur. Tbey all have to be provided more or less space, lighted; heated and equipped.. Add to these items stach matters as traveling expenses, .telephone calls and incidentals 6 nd. the grand annual expense, as a result of hav­ ing these people employed, will swell to five billion dollars at least. If such people could be lifted off the public’s neck the, money could be saved and the public would- surely feel the relief. \ ■ Fins Social Gains ' Such shortening of payrolls would be completely justified, by savings, atone but there are plenty of other benefits. (I) It would help to bal­ ance the federal budget, and if it is not balanced the country will eventually go broke. (2) It would- help curb the trend toward bureau­cracy, toward centralization of ^ power and toward government by whim instead of deliberate govern-• -meat by law.. (S) Not the least of blessings to. Mlow laying off these people would be releasing more than one and a half million persons for productive work, letting them create something instead of living off the efforts of either*. (4) Fitaallyll it would in­ crease the hop* of saving for future generation* the finest civilization the world has ever known. I sub­ mit unto you jt ought to be done.

If the' strike resulted In public hysteria; which it denied here, it was lighted and and fanned by Lewis himself Calmly announcing that his contract with the govern ment was a scrap of paper he could tear up at will, Lewis cailed ont his miners in the dead of winter- at a time when coal supplies were dan­ gerously short. Half the countrv’s trains stopped running, 9 schools were closing down huge •factories ceased operations, people were cold and miserable and many were fac­ ing jobless^ payless holiday season. Bat there was no noticeable hys. terra. There was deep resentment because one man should be allowed to cause so much suffering and- in­ convenience. The dissatisfaction even reached into tbeVank and file of the strikiners miners, tor when Lewis called off his strike a notice­ able back.to work movement was well under way The miners show, ed more sence than their leader.

BUSINESS TryOur Ada Democrat Praises Re- ers. Washington,—Republicans b a d their 1948 presidential - problems solved—and by a Democrat at that. Rep. Gene Cox. Democrat of Georgia, told the House that the Repnblicans should nominate Spea - ker Joe Martin as tbeir candidate for President. - , Cox started off by saying be wanted to talk-about Republicans. Republicans immediately braced themselves, but they needn’t have. For Cox began with: “Ever since the election,' Repub Iicans have been as nearly perfect as it is possible for human beings to be.” And how did Cox describe the Republicans^? *’As gallant warriors who have not taken advantage over a fallen adversary.” '' ' ( ‘Fallen adversary” .is Cox’s inckname for Democrats.) Looking at the Republicans, what did Cox fidd? • “No arrogance; no boasting, ev­ er willing to serve for the best in terests of our country. TUeir only desire is to serve to the best of their ability.” In fact, said Cox, looking around at his Democratic colleagues, the Republican attitude might -well be imitated in the future by other parties.'' ;■ And then he came ro the. point. .■“If the fates decree ■ that this country must have a Republican President, the Republicans -need look no furtbei; than the member­ ship of this House,” Cox cried.. •‘‘I hope their eyes will turn to the very able and very popular oc­ cupant of the Chair, Speaker Joe Martin ” The very able and very popular occupant of the chair . got red -in the face at the nomination from an unexpected sourer. He started ponnding awav wi b his gavel. All the Republicans stood up and cheered Some of the Demociats stood np and cheered. ’■ Martin finally get order, restored.1 But for some time he looked a lit tie fittstered and- strange; wearing that Democratic halo.

Mandate Tb Congress In the d ys following the abrupt termination of the coal strike, prac. tically every newspaper and, colum­ nist in the country bad something to say about that - struggle.T here was unprecedented unanimity of opinion that the coal miners’ arm. gant, pnblic-be-damned leadersbip had been roundly defeated, and that Congress most take immediate action to curb labor excesses. This point of view was. shared by papers of atl political and eco nomic views, published In every section oi the nation. The Chira- go Tribune said, ‘’The -people ex­ pect their new Congress to write new labor laws.” Toe Kainsas City Times said, “This nation cannot trust its security to domineering individuals ...” The NCw Or­ leans Times-PiDayune said,, “Pub­ lic necessity requires there must be no recurrence of strikes against the nation’s safety . . ^ .” Thie 'New York Herald Tribune said,1 “ Re vision of the Wagner Act is indi­ cated aiso legislation to make un. tons amenable within reason to the antitrust laws and subject to suit as legal entities for breach of con. tract ” The extreme left-wing New York , Datlv Worker urged miners to “take hold of theiri un. ion and reinstate a democratic con. tfo lin it.” ' So it went throughout the land. This wasithe voice ot the Ameri­ can press, speaking on behalf of an angrv and outraged people It was not, for the most part,, a pu. ntttve voice. It did not cry out for labor's blood. It did reaffirm the fact that the public interest is oaramount to all other interests. It did state that no man no group of men. is above the law. Those are the troths that most be reflect­ ed in coming labor legislation.— WilkesJournal ■' DAVIE BRICK COMPANY DBALERSItIN GbODCOAL Day Phofae' 194 - Night Fhone.119 Mockayille, N.

Liberty Streht THE DAVIE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE. N.-C. U SHIFT OF COMMANDERS • [ WASHINGTON. — Inside fact ,about the shift of U. S. commanders pn Germany is that the stage was iset for the change shortly after Lt. Gen. Lucius D. Clay visited the Na­ tional Association of Manufacturers In New York. ' ‘ Shortly before that, the senate war investigating committee’s chief -counsel, George Meader, had come back from Germany with a prelim­ inary report Ughly critical of what went on m the U. S. occupation zone. General day, then m the United' States, was upset by this report and talked to Secretary of State Byrnes about resigning. He felt that Gen. Joseph Mdfarhey, top. commander of XJ. S. troops in Germany, was the man really responsible, although he, Clay, as head of the military govern­ ment for Germany, got the blame. On top.of the unfavorable Meader ,report, General Clay addressed a meeting of the National Association of Manufacturers and afterwards Eat down at an off-the-record meet­ ing of NAM leaders including some of the top moguls of American in­ dustry. Their solution for the future of Germany was simple. They told Clay that they should be permitted to get in touch with their opposite numbers in German industry — the big industrialists who helped build up Hitler’s war machine. . If allowed to do business with' the German- cartels, the U. S. indus­ trialists told Clay, they would have Germany back on its feet in no time. , , This shocked ,General. Clay. He said he would retire from the army immediately. if any such deal was carried out. He warned that the Ger­ man people did not believe in or understand free enterprise and that Germany could only continue under strong government controls; • • • CAPITAL CHAFF The BFC apparently thinks that the Germans are a better risk than veterans’ housing. It will advance about. 3 billion dol­ lars to rebuild Germany daring the next three years, but was afraid of losing' money on Wil­ son Wyatt’s prefabricated hous­ ing for veterans. .. . Wyatt, ex- mayor of Louisville, passed out golden keys to the city of Louis­ ville to guests he invited to a farewell party. . . . No wonder John L. Lewis is hard luck for labor. He’s the “13th” vice I president of the A. F. of L. 1 ■■■ * * * AIRLINE DYNAMITE The dynamite now exploding in­ side Trans World Airlines between Jack Frye, its president, and How­ ard Hughes, its chief stockholder, has caused members of the civil aeronautics board to begin some careful probing of the aviation in­ dustry. Their probe indicates , that things aren’t going anywhere nearly as well as the airline ballyhoo indi­cates. Among other things, six companies operated in the red during the first nine months of 1946—TWA, Colonial, Chicago and Southern, Northeast­ ern, Pennsylvania-Central and West­ern. Furthermore, the airlines have over-ordered new planes to such an extent that they will never-be able , to IBe more than a fraction of the planes supposed to be delivered. For instance, the: present fleet of civil planes has a capacity of 15 billion seat miles annually. Howev­ er, when the planes now on order are delivered, capacity will be 41 billion passenger seat miles. This is in contrast to the fact that the planes now on hand are 100 per cent _in excess of the passengers now tarried. Result is many unpubli- . jzed cancellations. One. of the most • disquieting situations is the fact that TWA has placed large orders with Lockheed, and vIieavy cancellations would deal Lockheed a tough'blow. * * PACIFIC MERRY-GO-ROUND . Best way to gain popularity Ini the Far East today Is. to take. ' along a supply of Roosevelt dimes. Congressional travelers returned from China and thePa- eific islands report that these were the most welcome gifts they could make to native digni­ taries. . . . First general election •• in bistory of the Tcuk' island group in the 'Pacific was held in January. Island chieftains and officials for the entire group were chosen.* Heretofore these - offices have been hereditary.. . . Among the voters were many who have lived ^under Spanish, • German and Japanese control. * This was their first election. SCHOOLS NEED TYPEWRITERS " Schools and colleges may come ahead'of veterans in getting surplus war property for educational uses, according to a plan now under con­ sideration at the White House. At present veterans get first crack at typewriters^ addingjmachines and all other types of equipment—and when the vets are through there isn’t much left for the states,, schools and colleges. This problem recently was ..placed before the President by ex- Sen. Joseph Rosifr, of West Virginia. ■ F i - -1I QUICK MAW, SERVICE BY HELICOPTER . . .

C. GERALD B R Q W N W.N.U. FfATURCS Onke McCole, private detective, ta. guarding the wedding presents at' the UgeIow mansion. He senses that old Hlss Adelaide Bigelow Is afraid ol something mere serious than theft. vHe meets the bride and groom-to-be, Veronica and Gurt Vallaincourt, and VeronlcatS 'mother, Sybil, and her brother and sister, Stephen and Victoria. There Is a sinister under­ current that McCale is quick to catch. He discusses the situation with Ann Marriott his secretary and fiancee, while they are dining at a fashionable night cliib. They are impressed by the beauty and charm of the ClubtS featured singer, Shari Lynn. Shari goes to a table and Joins a Mg, handsome man—Curt VaL lalncourt! CHAPTER V The flash of a million golden sparks went-by their table. McCale looked out of the comer of his eyes and saw , that a tall woman with hair the color of spun sugar was passing. He recognized her imme­ diately. It was Karen Bigelow. She saw. him, but gave no glance of recognition. Her eyes were fixed straight ahead in a cold,'hard glaze at the table where Vallaincourt sat with the torch singer. She deliber­ ately walked toward them. “That your Karen?” Ann whis­ pered. “Uh-huh.” “Well, I do hope there’ll be no trouble.” If there was, it was remarkably well-bred and closely held. Karen reached the table and spoke quick­ ly to -. Vallaincourt. He looked^ amazed, shaken. He turned to Shari’ Lynn once, blindly. But the Lynn girl only sat there, utterly relaxed, her niouth a sulky sneer. Karen took something from her bag and handed it to Shari She looked once at Curt, a long, searching, smol­ dering look, and turned away. Val­ laincourt made a move to follow her, but Shari caught his hand, drawing him back. He almost stum­bled in the alcove.' It was then that McCale, swivel­ ing around to the startled Ann, had his second shock of the evening. Not five tables away,, almost hidden in a corner, sat Stephen Bigelow. There was a row of empty glasses in’ front of him as though he had ordered them all at one time. Yet he did not seem to be drunk. His eyes were sunken in that face so prematurely cadaverous but they glittered with a. cold; sardonic amusement that was frightening. Ann Marriot gripped McCale’s hand in an ' imploring gesture. “Let’s get out of "here.” "Maybe the fim is only, just be­ ginning,” he said, rising with alacrity. On the steps, a slight altercation was taking place. Karen Bigelow, swathed in ochre Wool, was trying to restrain k slightly bedraggled, fussily dressed woman. ' McCale saw that it Was Sylvia Bigelow, bulging out of a sheath of satin. Karen was .saying, “You mustn’t go in, Mother Bigelow, you just can’t. Let me take you home.”' “Get out of my way!” the older woman said. “I can’t let you go in. Besides, he’s not there, Sybil. He really isn’t there.” - “How do you know?” / ' “I looked.” - 4tYou came here to see him?” . “Yes, yes—but he ' isn’t here. Come home with me. Sybil.” The grotesque Sybil hesitated a moment, her bright feverish eyes searching Karen’s face. Then she pushed her forcefully aside with crushing arrogance. The Trml Becomes A Little Pkdner “Let me by,” she said, her voice rising hysterically. - There was a limousme at the curb. Karen walked to it, moving .like a sleepwalker. She got into it without a backward glance.. It rolled away into the dark. “Well, welL” McCale spoke as . they settled back -into their taxi. “I am more than ever convinced that there is a nigger -in the Bigelow woodpile.” “I should say so.” Ann smiled wearily. “As our good pal, Rocky, would say—everyone i seems one leap ahead of a fit.” It was still quite early. Another night, they might have- gone on to one or another of the nightclubs, but McCaIe was in no mood for it. He knew Ann’s evening was prob­ ably spoiled, though she said noth­ ing. He reached for her hand, ex­ pecting more of her incurable flip­ pancy, but she, too, seemed sunk u a thoughtful depression. When they drew up before the apartment house where she lived, she kissed him lightly before they got out, made no remark when he told the driver to'wait. As he fitted her key into the outside door, she spoke. - “Drink?” “No.” ' . "What are you up to? Where are you going?", “Places ladies don’t grace with their presence.” . “I’m willing to forget I’m a lady for tonight" ' She had a secret yen for the .seamier side, the substrata, the ob­ scure. “We.won’t go into that now,’’ he said. He turned her .head toward him. “Here.” ~ He kissed her hard on :the lips, noticing her complete'calm indif­ ference. She was angry. “Thanks ever so." ' “Oh, Lord,” he’ groaned, “don’t go giving me your impersonation of Bette Davis now. . I’m going to the Print Club to see Jerry Tate.” ttOh, all right. Go ahead, I know what you’re Iikei when you. smell blood, you hound.” ^ She searched bis face quickly. “Does it look that bad, Duke? I seem to have been feeling it myself all evening, though I’ve tried to tell myself it was my proximity to you and one. of your fabulous hunches.”: ■ ■, He nodded slowly. “Yeah. Some­thing tells me. there is something very dirty afoot. It’s only breaking: out in little places here and there, but there’s bound to be an, explo­ sion of some kind in the offing. I’m short on information, baby, and a little late on the scene. What I do, I’ve got to do quickly.” “Well, go ahead, but be _sure, when you pass the Old Howard to' stay on the other side of the street.” She laughed, dismissing; him with a return to her old facetiousness. “You are a jealous wench,” he cfc’cec her, closing the door on her retreating figure. 4tHeIlo, Jerry,” said' -McCale. 44Havpng your good-night quart?” He chuckled to himself as he got back into the cab, giving the ad­ dress of the Print Club. The Old Howard, IocalMahdmark of bur­ lesque, was a standing joke be­ tween them. During a former in-, vestigation, he had got himself mixed up, almost fatally, w itifa girl whose profession was appear­ ing in various night-club extrava­ ganzas. In the glow of infatuation he had nearly married her. They’d gone to New York, where he ,had intended to set up an agency for himself after the completion of his first case in Boston, but an offer'of seven hundred dollars a week from the producer of a.higher type.of en­ tertainment had estranged, them. He just couldn’t see himself as-the husband of a woman 'who was be­ ing cute in front, of an audience.: He was not falsely .modest and,- indeed, took a rather harsh, cynical attitude toward vice. However, that affair was permanently wrecked. His inamorata had gone into her show, got her seven hundred per week, and McCaie nad given him­ self one Vuz norse-laugh. He had retraces n.e steps to the Hub, stark mg nis business there, relying al­ together on the success of his one case to get him going. - - . fo A Newspaper Man GivestheLowdowfi . He lit a cigarette and sat with his feet tip on one of the. adjustable seats of the taxi as. it bumped along Cambridge street. He thought he had done rather well In . the,, time he bad spent in Boston, in spite of obstacles such as his decision not to take divorce cases, not to hold out on the police, not to get in the way of-rival agencies. He had man­ aged to keep his-head above, water and had acquired a reputation of honesty and discretion besides. His lip curled in selfderision as he laughed In the face of his own ex­ pansive ego.. .1 ' “No sense being, so damned com­ placent, boy.” He was talking to himself like a Dutch uncle; “So far, you haven’t got much forrader on the problem at hand.” He sighed unhappily as the cab drew .up with a screech of brakes before a tall,' gray office building. Between this and another older structure was a narrow alley, at the back of which could be seen a faintly lighted- doorway.- -McCale made for this. From, behind the stark walls on each, side of him, he could hear the rumble and roar, of machinery, for the': presses of the biggest newspaper m town had their’ home.there. The Print Club, where pressmen and reporters gathered to drink and converse throughout the night, was on the vthird; floor of - the narrow -edifice at the end of the alley; Duke opened the . door and went up the' winding iron stairs to the bare, tin- decorated- rooms which were fur­nished 1With-square WoOden'tables., and chairs of the kitchen - variety. 'McCaIe went over to the bar and dsked for Jerry Tate: The \batman nodded in the-.direction of the third room, raising a quizzical eye at McCale’s' formal :, attire: McCale threw him a hard; deliberate scowl, and. made for the door. Just inside it, a young, irascible, nervous* looking man,sat alone at a table,' playing solitaire. He ..did not look up as McCale sat down- facing him. “Hello, Jerry,” said McCale. “Haying your-‘ good-nightquart?” ■ ■„ “Hi, sleuth,” he_ said in a rasping voice. J 1Where. have you been—all dressed up? Is there a convention you had to attend?” . “Out" to dinner.” '' “W ell, ■ w ell. T im es h av e changed.” “Isn’t it the truth! But you see, •I haven’t forgotten the old days. I come straight from the lap of. luxury to visit my old pals.”- 4Tm- all agog.” The dark fellow poured himself a finger of' whisky and swalloWed it In one gulp. “No kidding, Duke, Fm glad to see you. However, you’ve probably got an axe to grind. So give while Fm still sober.” ' “As usual Fm after information.” “So-” “About a great big, husky, hand* some young, man named Vallain­ court.” / Jerry Tate gave a/low whistle and fixed McCale with a baleful glance. “So they’ve called in the Ogpu?” “Who?” “The Bigelows. Who else? How much .you soaking them?” ttNow, see here, Jerry, I haven’t said—” “You don’t have, to: I don’t have to be a detective—not even a loiisy reporter—to put two and two to­ gether. What I can’t get over is why they’ve let it slide along to this( late day. You’re a bit on the-tardy side, aren’t; you?” ■ “I’ll say. The wedding is next week, so I’m running around in cir­ cles—but fast. What can you, tell me/about him?” > “Very little, I’m afraid. He hits the high spots, does a lot of gam* bling, plays around fast and loose. Spends lots of dough.” •: "Where does he get it?” “Search .me.” “Oh, come now.” : “Well, rumor has it that it comes from the' Bigelows mostly.”' 4T doubt that." Tate shrugged. 4tSome other old gal, then.” ttWhat about his antecedents?” . “Don’t know. 1 Springs from Chi­ cago, I’m told.” . . “How did he get aboard the May­ flower—that is,-how did -he burrow his way into the bosom of the' Bige­ low family?” “Well,.now, let's see. .First time.

The North Carolina legislature has been in session for more than three weeks. Up to this writing the bovs haven’t been able to ac­ complish much in the w..y of pas­ sing new bills and reducing the high cost of living. It is now pre­ dicted that the law-makers will not get away from Raleigh before April 1st. This means that some of. them may have to borrow money to pay their bills', as it' will take a miracle to live in the capi- tol 90 days on the $600 the mem­ bers receive. Many Davie County people are. • in favor of letting the voters elect the County Accountant and the County Tax Collector, instead of having them appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. If you are in favor of such a law being enacted for Davie County, write your Senator, Hon. Lafayette Williams, and your Representa­ tive, Hon. Knox Johnstone, and tell them that you favor such a bill.

The Volstead law yas passed by Congress over President Wilson’s veto. Volstead was defeated for Congress in 1922, but continued his campaign against liquor for many years. He was also the; father of the Farmers’ Co-opera­ tive Act. He was a prominent figure in Congress.

When he says it, believe itl, n . A Lam e Man Made Whole (John 5:2-9). , v .Back- in Jerusalem at the Feast of Purim, a !time of. joy -and gift giving, our Lord found his way to the. pool of Bethesda where there were misery -and disease. His Com­ passionate heart, sent him there to help and to blesg. . “Impotent folk?—the words well describe not'only those who lay helpless about the pool of Bethes- da,' but they fit ,us as well. Oh,-yes, we are strong, capable, fearless, but only until we meet some great elemental problem. Then we see that we are inded "a great multi­ tude of impotent folk.”. The silent fog cap paralyze a nation.'Death,, sickness—who can stay their hand? Long familiarity-with Us weak­ ness had bred in the man with the infirmity a sense of despair. Such an attitude-invites , defeat.-It is un­becoming to a Christian. Let us not forget ifi the darkest hour to "keep looking up." Jesus told the man to "rise, and walk" — the very thing he could not do for his 38 years of fife. But when the Son of God. speaks to us he gives -the power to respond to his command. — . m . A Dead Friend Made AUve (John 11:11-13). . The fact that Jesus is. Our Friend and our' Saviour does. not exempt us from human sorrow, but it does assure HS'of the needed grace to bear the tnal and to trust him even in lifea- darkestthour. Lazarus, the friend of Jesus, was sick. The home in which Jesus had found rest and fellowship -was In deep trouble. Jesus was no longer Judea. In haaic, ..Wuid js suit to him yOf l)is friend’s illness,' But he did not come, • ' Why .does be delay?. Such is the heart cry of thousands today who caU on him in.their hour of trouble. The -purposes of God ate beyond our ability fully to understand.-We need only, to trust him and abide his time. ., Notice; that his failure to respond St once to...the message of Lazarus’ sisters did .not mean that, he had deserted them (11:4-6)..Nor did it mean-that he had denied them his help (y. 7). Lazarus; may have been dead before the word reached him. He may also have delayed in order that there might be ho ques­ tion about the resurrection'miracle. Andl he may- have, !tarried Inrorder that their- toith might be strength­ ened. ' ' '- ' Above’ all, do Jnot fail to. notice that he . came. He always ■ does.

The time and the. manner of his ahgwer ; to our .prayers may not conform to. ,our opinion of !- what should have' been 'done, but let us remember that we know only in part.

LOOKING AgEAP GEORGE SL BENSON PraU at-Jtortil Crtitft Stttci. M ltittt ASEAD ■r GEORGE & BENSON H tiU tirt-M ttiltf Ctiltft S ttttf.J rlu a t AU Americana had reason to be JuMIant on August 2. Not because an'unruly monuch had abdicated. On Oat day ths T9th Congress ad- ( Journed, and Hs members would soon sweep through the pre-election countryside—reporting to the “con­ stituency.” ; Our -Congressmen packed up to return home on that day, and it has- been ours to vote for them or against them. \ Oiir founding lathers who decried the making of laws "without repre­ sentation,” could have ^compliment­ ed our wartime Congress. .Sierving through a most trying period at the very beginning of our reconstruc­ tion, after ,courageously displaying ■ people’s will through the most de­ bilitating war in Vqir history, the TCdi Congress faced all manner of. complicated problems. I Delibentioii .1 I . Probably the'79th Congress did not please everybody. Biit sit the same time, when one surveys the record, - it is apparent that this Congress, has made some unusual history;: Con-1 gress accepted the United- Nations j. chatter, thus committing 'America to a much more effective part fii world leadership. This- Congress demonstrated that it is not willing to allow Oiv foreign policy to ride the winds of fortune, that it will be ac­ tive though deliberate in helping build « peace. Deliberate. Ilicfs a word our Congress properly exemplifies. We want, our legislators to be studious and careful in preparation of laws, In this government of the people. Only in-this way may we have the beat representation. Remember that when you hear the alarum: "Why doesn’t Congress.'do something?” NoItutyberStarap . Remonber . too that political - ex­ pediency makes deliberation neces­ sary, as Congress attempts to work out a pattern of harmony with other departments. If some things were bungled by the 79th Congress, in many instances the bungling may be chalked up to other branches of gov­ ernment. But this Congress did demonstrate that it was no “rubber stamp” Congress, and it made par­ liamentary history in this respect. - /. It was a people’s Congress. It took definite steps in the direction aC a balanced budget, for many legis- lators.- put themselves .on record in an attempt to preserve the in­ tegrity of the nation’s finances. No budget legislation' was passed, but much was done to prepare ground­ work for future budget-balancing legislation. DeM tat Bureaneraey. A few of the spreading tentacles vt bureaucracy were lopped off. by the 79th Congress, and it refused tor f pass other ’measures that would nurture the beast. Congress re­ fused to put the National' Housing. Agency an a permanent bads, and lt turped the' control and operation «f employment services back to the states. Major proposals fop federal aid to education died in committees.' In removing many of the govern­ ment regulations which have served their purposes, the Congress gave notice that it intends to keep' the traditional freedoms making Amer­ ica the most desirable place in -the world in which to live. Congress re­ fused to sanction the drafting of la­ bor in time of peace. Long live our Congresst May it ever be the peo­ ple^ representation. 7 WageWisdom Wages rose and prices fell dur­ing the ten years Jiut before World War n when working men were able.through collective bargaining, to influence the -operations of pri­ vate enterprise without political in­ terference. Workers' earned more dollars per Hrariiing day and each dollar took on more buying power s* time went .on. It was a two-way improvement.. ^s.' MXhe actual Inqring power of one hour's, work (straight time) rose at the rate at more than Vh each year, or ever 40 % for the entire ten-year period,” says Labor’s Monthly Sur­ vey, issued in May Iqr the American Federaticdi of Labor. -“This was possible . because production per man-hour increased steadily/ creat­ ing tiie wealth to pay higher wages.” War CAaiiged Things So long as men, money and ma­ chinery were busy making things' to eat, wear and use/for better Iiv- jng, it turnecLout as planned; bet-, ter living resulted.' :But when capi­tal, labpr and tools, by necessity, had to swing into the manufacture of munitions ahd instruments-of de­ struction, better living ceased. Wages increased, to be sure. So did profits. But what could we buy? Once more let the AFL survey answer: “Every hard-won nickel of .wage gain was offset by a price rise which Ancelled it and the workers’ actual buying power per hour of work; as measured by real wage rates, did not increase at all.” These statements are supported by government figures made available through tiie department of Labor. Moreover the AFL analyst’s logic is perfectly sound. ' - - Hrtding Prices Down The labor bulletin contained no carpingcriticism of government; Hor agSinst the artificial restraints set up to keep a fictitious economy from getting out of control. On tiie other hand it says plainly that under wholesome business condi­ tions “wage increases are paid for by rising productivity.” ' Thus with mass production and volume sales “the wage rises are all clear gain.” “Our first tssk is to increase pro­ duction .of consumer goods so that .supply will be enough to meet de­ mand, and competition again will keep prices down, so that increas­ ing productivity will create -the'in- come to pay Airifaer wage in5 creases.” Anything I, might say about that doctrine would be simply gilding the lily. It is tile plain truth and a credit to any philosophy. Cut Restealnts At the present, conditions are far from wholesome. The government’s new artificial wage controls, bom of political expedience, create high­ er wages with one hand and snatch them away .with -the other in the form of higher prices. In a gov­ ernment-fouled economy, it is small wonder that formers and business menatfke line up for help at the door of Uncle Sam’s “flx-it” depart­ ment The Ofllice of :Priee Administra­ tion is getting as much criticism as it deserves now perhaps. My com­ments a n brief: Private enterprise needs freedom-tf it is to operate by the law of supply and demand, and in some fields, .supply will meet de­ mands much sooner if regulations an lifted. The O.P.A. has done some good work and well deserves a dig­ nified funeral, goon.
