Well, fifty years of married life Is quite a while to live As husband dear and faithful wife When each must truly give Their love arid synapathy and trust To make their union sweet, Amid the many storms that must Upon their pathway beat. Through sunny days arid shadows, dark It’s great to have a love That is the wondrous saving ark^ Andbearsthesoulabove The billows that would overwhelm And sinkthe marriage ship.

Will Be Restricted Whatever IeglsIatioA is enacted; it now appears that the present Congress will restrict the right to strihe—whether the restriction hr major or minor." After all,' that right as it now exists is gnaran- te>d bv law and by judical inter pretation of the law rather than by the Constitution. ■ ". ' ; In a famous decision bjl the high est court of Massachusetts in 194a. the right of workers to strike was upheld.- But since then the courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly held that right may be restricted under certain circum stances—to safeguard the public in terest. - In a decisijn in 1917 on the Adamson eight hour law for rail, road workers, the Supteme Court, while upholding the law, declared the right to strike while employed in private business is ' ‘necessarily subjeet to limitation when employ ment is accepted in a business charged with a public interest.” The Railway Labor Act passed in 1934 requires a cooling-off neriod before a rail strike may be called. I0-1937 ibe Senate passed a reso lution strongly condemning the sit down strike as illegal;' And in 1942 the Senate resolved that strik es 00 lockouts impeding the de fense efforts were “ contrary . to sound public policy ".. The Smith- Corinally Act of 1943, which is dtte to expire next June 30. forbids-acts in furtherance of a strike at Si Gov ernment-occupied plant In view of ibis record and-of the tremendous inconvenience suffered by the public on account of strikes durihg/jhe last, year, the' people have a right to egperit Corigresato pass legiaiatioh placingsome limi tations; on strikes arid - lookouts.— Winsion Salem jonrnal. • /. . Do You Read th e Record? DarieHeaRhNews The health department has com pleted the medical.examination of 963 school children in Davie County. These children were re ferred to the Health Department for examination by die teachers in sshools and the public health nurses who had previously, screen ed out the pupils and listed those who had apparent, defectsV arid those who seemed to be in need of medical care. There inay be Oiher children' besides the 963 who needed dentaLcare that , was i\ot referred to the health officer. ■ O f die 963 children examined there were 634 found with defects of one kind or another which should be corrected so that; the child will have the opportunity to carry on his -cChool work to the best of his ability- . It is import- and that a child , should hear and see as well as possible.’ . The were I14children referred to eye spe cialists and 57 referred tor hearing. Four of these 57 children have been recommended for special classroom work; Several others were reconuhended' for hearing aids. Odier common, defects found were bad teeth—123, bad tonsik—182, and 170 had both bad. tonsils and teeth. Onlvi 68 children showed signs of .malnu trition, six with skin defects, and 91 with other defects. Letters have beeri written to parerits in die case ' of each of th^ie 634 children.' The letter Iist the defects found an^ suggast that the child be referred to fami ly physidsui or dentist for further Consideration<and advice. There is not any definitive treatment such 'as dental repair, tonsil operations, fitting of glasses arid die like, done in any of the health clinics! Any’ parent may feel free toconsult diehealth of ficer in regard to defects repotted. The examinations ririd diagnosis in die childred recently examined are not concussive. This should come from the private physican or specialist In riiany instances it was suggested that the child be brought by the patent to the diriic for a recheck or ar more complete study. This had proven to be moresatisfactory because of the advene conditions in . the schools. It is hoped dtatrthe parents ..and osher community groups- interest ed in child health aud welfare will help do sotpedting toward cor recting these defects. Jri some cases treatment is, ex pensive and help will be needed. There is soine state funds that can be used provided local communi ties will match the amount provid ed by die state. P. T. A.’s and any other civic groups; .Can give money for this purpose In many instances, that is. how the funds have been matched in other com munities. ’ Mary .Lewis, Htolth Educator, , Dr.Alfred Mordecai, Health ■ Officer.

Reorganization of government a gencies, seems to be one of the most promising fields, for savings in Washington, There has beep a tendence to consolidate and rename, these agencies without reduciog-ex- pense or personnel; Not only can great savings be made by eliminat ing and streamlining these govern ment agencies, bnt the cause of efficiency will also be served. The huge expenditures made during the war years have .lessen ed our sensitiveness to the. old tashioned but essential principle- oi' thrift in government That the wartime economy has continued.'to function in spite of these huge ex penditures, is po solid argument a gainst affec'ittg economies Where- ever possible. y.

RUSSIAN MANEUVERING • , WASHINGTON. — Despite our im- Ered relations with Russia,'some1 g very peculiar is going on re- ling fte key island of, Spitzber- Igen up near the Arctic circle. The Russians have been exerting all sorts of pressure on Norway to' militarize this'strategic island, .thus jierinitting them to use it as a mili tary base.There is only one objective, for a (base on Spitzbergen a offensive 'action against the United States. From it rocket bombs probably- Icould hit New York. ■The United States happened to [learn of the Russian - Norwegian [maneuvers because we are a party ito a 1920 treaty with Norway, Eng- Dand and Russia, by which Spitsber gen is not to be used as a military jbase. In order to militarize the is land, therefore, it is necessary to change the treaty, i The disturbing thing about the Spitsbergen maneuver, however, is |the date on which the Russians be- |gan to move for militarization. !When the state department-, began probing the matter, they found that [the Russians had first approached !the Norwegian government in 1944 —while: the. war was still on. And ,they continued high-pressurmg Nor- ,way during 1945, the last year of the war, and up until the present. I What causes U. S. concern is that I ,the Russians appeared to be maneu- j IVering for Atlantic' bases aimed . against the United States even at a 1 time when we were pouring Iend- lease into Russia. In this connec tion, U. S. diplomats can’t help re membering the secret minutes of the Molotov - Ribbentrop conver sations inflate 1940—shortly before Hitler attacked Russia—when Rus sia offered -to come into the war against the Allies if it got the Dar danelles, half the Balkans, the three eastern provinces of Turkey, Iran and Iraq. TRUMAN SHAKES HANDS One ordeal of every Presi- v dent is'baking hands at official receptions. Recently President Traman stood in line while 1,400 members of the diplomatic corps, plus their wives, filed by to greet him, Traman considers receptions for congress or the army and navy bad enough, bnt he espe cially dreads diplomatic receptions where he cannot always catch foreign , names. After shaking hands so fast he barely was able to glimpse faces, the, President looked hp to see retiring- White House as sistant Eddie Locke, with his wife. “Why, Eddie!” Truman said laughingly. “Thank' God here’s . someone' whose name I can pro nounce.” “Sh-h-h,” said Mrs. Truman.• * » ., UNFAILING GOOD HUMOR Every White House caller these days comes out of the inner sanc tum remarking on how well and high - spirited President Truman looks. Expecting him to appear bowed and discouraged by /the weight of his office, they remark: “He doesn’t seem to have a care in the world.” Even diming the middle of the coal strike, when Truman cabinet members were worried sick over the economic consequences to the country, White House callers came out to report that the President seemed to be in fine fettle. One unofficial explanation is that, since November, -the President feels that the Republicans have removed part of the responsibility of leader ship from his shoulders. No matter what tie does, it can’t be right in GOP eyes; therefore, he might as well be philosophical about it. Another explanation is that, since November, Truman feels he is no longer under any obligaton to carry on the Roosevelt New Deal program. 'The November - balloting showed that the majority of the. people wanted a change, argue some White House advisers, so Truman has a mandate to desert the Roosevelt, program for bis own.

We put the problem up to Frankie Frisch, one of the greatest sec ond basemen and one of the best all- around ball players In the annals of Oie game, also one of the smartest. “Why is it,” we asked the slightly graying Flash from F o rd h a m ,. th e Giants end the Cardinals on the playing side, “that there are so many star' second basemen and so / few outstanding shortstops?” “Just how do you figure that out ?1 Frisch asked. “Lookoverthe list,” we suggest- . Cd. “At second we Mve Nap La' joie, Eddie Collins, Rogers Hornsby, Frank Frisch, Charlie Gehringer, Jtdinny Evers—to mention only a - few. There are still arguments as to which one of these is the greatest. Bnt when yon come to shortstops you reach ont for a fellow named Bonus Wagner—and you stop. Trav is Jackson, Marty .Marion, Beantr Bancroft, a few more—but .hot out standing. Only Wagner.” _ “There are two answers to-that,” Frisch replied. “In the first place, Wagner was Wagner. A great short stop—the greatest. He led his league seven years at bat. He could steal 50 or 60 bases a year. He could do . everything. You may remember that John McGraw, before his death, ranked Wagner as the greatest ball player of all time. Over Cobb and Ruth.- So does Ed Barrow. These two are not palookas. But I'll have to admit that outside of Wagner, while there have been fine , short stops, the game hasn’t shown many great ones. More SpeedfSkill Needed “One reason for this is that short stop is a tougher job than second base is. .You have to cover more ground. You need more speed and a better arm. You may have to throw from-short left, on the grass, to first base—a longer throw than the third baseman has to make. But just why it is that no shortstop, outside of Wagner, could hit to match Lajoie, Collins, Gehringer, Hornsby and others, I couldn’t tell you. There haven’t been many hard-hitting shortstops who could hand you .340 or .350. Maybe they were too busy trying to cover, all. that ground.” “What about third base?” I asked Frisch. “Not as tough as short, not as tough as second. Less ground to cover.” Frisch couldn't go back quite tor enough to cover all the great third’ basemen: Art Devlin of the Giants, Jimmy Collins of Boston, Bill Brad ley of-Cleveland and Buck Weaver of the White Sox—four of the great est. “What’s the matter with Pie Tray- nor?” he asked. “Pie belongs with any third baseman." This is true. But there have been more good third basemen, for all-around value, than great shortstops. The same applies to first base. You can get argu ments today over Hal Chase, George Sisler, Lou Gehrig, Frank Chance, Bill Terry and one or two others. Must Be Heavy Hitter “A first baseman has to hit,” Frisch said. “Maybe Chase was the greatest fielding first baseman. But he couldn’t hit with Sisler, Gehrig or Terry. A first baseman should be a power on attack. Of course, it helps when he also can field bis job. Stufiy McInnis wasn’t bad. He could cover that bag and still hit over .300. Stufiy was a great first baseman. And Glen Wright was a great short-; stop,” Frisch added. Having Fris^ch finally loosened up, we put on the pressure. “H you had to win one .big game, a game; you had to win, who would you pick- to pitch it? Carl Hubbell or Dizqr Dean?” Frisch lost .no time in answering this one. “What difference would it make? Both would pitch shut-outs if the blue chips were down. I mean at their peak. Just give me a shut-; out and I’ll promise that I won’t lose, even if I have to take a tie. -You know one of. the great-things, about Hubbell? Henevergaveyou a pitch that you had hit before. Ti you got the same hit off Dean, Diz. would come back with the same pitch ; and probably shrike you out. Of course, Hubbell had a longer-and. therefore a greater career. He was one of the greats of all time. But in 1934 and 1935, before he hurt his arm, there never was a greater' pitcher than Dizzy Dean. Just give me either one.”. A Better Racing Year For the first time in a good many years, I think it would-be safe to say that this year there will be bigger and better racing, and in saying vthat not to be thinking of mutuel play and the breaking of financial records. It seems probable to me that the handle will be down again this year, that: the wild spending days are over for -some time to . come. I am thinking of better horses and jockeys, sounder track management, and a more sportmg attitude: % GERALD IV;f#.fe -FE ATIPR C 9 Duke McCbIa -private detective, Ia |U%riiii| Ilie wedding presents at the Bigelow mansion.

He meets -the bride and groom*to?be, Veronica, and Cnrt Vallaineonrtp and Veronica's moth er, Sybil, and her brother and sister, Stephen and Victoria. While at. a night 'clob.

He talks to Jerry Tate, a newspaper man, and learns that Vallalncoort is a big spender and gambler, and Uiat he was Uie heart interest of Mrs. Stephen Bige* low for a short time, According to tumor.' ‘ As soon as he met Veronica, he concen trated on her. CHAPTER VI "For almost nothing, but thanks anyway.” He left the Club arid trudged through the midnight city, a sullen gloom curtaining his thoughts. The lights of an all-night lunch room winking through the murk drew Duke-inside. It was a dismal enough place, peopled with a few dowta-at-heels stragglers. The restaurant door banged and a tall, wasted figure in a'bedraggled coat and hat slouched to the coun ter. There was something familiar about that back. Instinctively, Mc- Cale half rose to his feet to see, but his movement was too late. Joe Leach saw him as she turned, tray in hand. He shuffled over and sat down. 44Hi, shamus,” hC said. “Well, all turned out’In tails, I see.-Excuse me, but you look as though you’d- just been thrown out of the Ri(2. What are you disguised as—a ma- gician?” McCale grunted noncommittally. W on’t talk, huh? It just happens I’m a bit of a dick myself,, bud, so I’ll dig down^in my bag of tricks., and pull out the fact that you’ve been hobnobbing with the elite—the Bigelow tribe to be exact. What have they been having—a soiree?” “Good God.. Have you had a tail on me?” ’ ; • ' “Deduction, shamus. No. To be honest, every agency in town knows you’ve knocked off the Bige low job. Bow’d you do it? What’S- it all about?” .: 44Whatid you give to know?” “Oh, Lord. I’m just curious.” i “It might be worth- your while,” “Look. I won’t argue with you. Either you tell me or tell-it to the marines. Tm indifferent now. What does it matter?” He made a slight movement as if he were about to get up and go. "AU right, aU right. I just thought I might soak you for a five. I lost" my pants in a game tonight. The truth is, Stephen Bigelow called” our office to get the. low-down on you, late this afternoon.” “Cafied your office? To get dope on me?” Duke gave a raucous, de-' risiye howl. “That’s too darned fun ny. What’s: the connection—between your outfit and Stephen Bigelow,. I mean?” “We did some work for him once.” “You did?" “Uh, uh.” "What kind of work—the usual?” “Sure.” “Who was the dame?” . .“His wife.” McCale’s spine began to ’ prickle. He hoped his sudden . Interest did not show too much on his face. FiveDqUarsy Worth Of Information “You may.not think'it’s worth the five, but here it is. About six; months ago this Stephen Bigelow. came in to see Watkins. Wanted a tail put on his wife. He didn’t say much, but the boss figured It was' the old divorce routine. I got the night job—following her around to the nightclubs. She went out a lot alone. I. trailed , along for-a couple of weeks. She’d stop in at. a lounge bar now and . then, always met; peo- ,pie she knew, but-never seemed to gather- in /anyone particular. Then one night I followed her as far -as a Studio building in Copley Square. A dumb eleyator boy couldn’t place her or tell me'where in the building he took her. Fd wait: and in a few hours, she’d come out—alone. This happened two or three times a week until one night, late, she came out with a middle-aged guy. They went to a quiet little restaurant around the comer. I tagged along. It looked like the old, old story to me,” “You: found out who the man was?” - “Sure. Well, , here’s where the drama falls apart. Hrnnl I see where I don’t get paid off. He was a piano teacher, name of ParecinL Not' an Void foxy. grandpa with: a weakness for blondes, after all. .We turned the. news Pver to Stevey bog,; and damned if, he didn’t-seem relieved. He came in a'w eekorso afterwards to pay his bill He told us his wife had once showfa great talent for the piano, but had lost the use- of an : arm from nervous shock or arthritis or- something. She was getting back her old wal lop again, slowly. She’d been going to the. old -bird for lessons, keeping it from the family for a surprise, or so-he said. Now, how do:you like that?”“I like it.” ’ - ' , “You think it was the truth? Now, see here, in; spite of- the-fact that it looked on the level, I think it was fishy. I wasn’t pulled right off the tail, see? It was1 over a: week be fore Stevey cazne in to pay up. We hadn’t heard from him to thereon, trary,. so I kept on the job;. .But the blonde bombshell' never went near Parecim’s studio again.' She must have backed down somewhere along the line.” 44They. probably had a nice , old- fashioned heyt-to-heatt talk- and patched it up. My guess wouldbe that she wanted to continue her studies with the .Idea of going on the stage, or something Pt the sort, but Stephen put'his foot down,. The family probably wouldn’t stand for it.” “Yeah. Funny, isn’t it? Nof that either of them seem socially con scious.” V ■' “Your , insight is amazing.. They are both good family, blit hot quite —as you say.” -’- 'rWell, whether you know if or not, 'Stevey was quite a. gay dog once. Used to do a bit of chasing in the old days.” “I don’t doubt that, but I think he’s in loye. with hisLwife.” , 44Umm. Better to have loved, et cetera: He sure seems huts about her.” “Decidedly.” ■ One, night late she came out with a middle-aged guy. “That’s all-of my little, offering. DO I get.the fin?” “Oh, sure. Take it.” He" slid the money over to the big man. He had the exasperating feeling that he’d been -cheated.. He shrugged it away. , .McCale had set his alarm for seven-thirty, the next morning. It had shrilled in ,vain. A feeble ray Of sunlight flickered across his face as someone shook him by the shdul-' der.

' Breadl The cry of the' hungry peoples of the worid for bread has rentinded us anew that it' is-the simple and elemental things of life which are* of .most importance. Breadr, water,, light—such things, man cannot=do without. How signifl- 1 cant then that' , our. Lordj declared himself toi be -the'Hrbtld of life (John 6:35), the satisfring water (John 4:14),v and the -IIgfht at tiie world '(Johii'8:12).. : Our lessop does-not deal with the feeding of the five, thousand, but the story at that miracle ri our Lord is the background for the discourse on the bread of life-.which is assigned for our study; Tt=is. one of the most delightfully simple, -yet unfathom- ably profound, portions of Scripture. - The story of how our Lord multi plied the • leaves and' flshes of a small boy’s lunch and fed. the^ multi tude presents hhn as tiie Creator and; Sustainer of all things. The people haViiig been Ted, wanted to tate Jesus ,and make him their King (John 11:15),; so he-went over the .Sea 'of -: Galilee to Capernaum. But he could not get away from them, for they followed him thither. Meeting them he gave them the Instruction they so much needed as be effective^ contrasted the tem poral and earthly with -the eteriial and heavenly. I. The Bread of Earth and* the Bread of Heaven (vv. 25-27). They sought Jesus' not that they might.receive, spiritual blessings, but; that, their stomachs ~ might be filled (v. .26). If was not a high motive, blit an understandable one. Hunger; or. the. fear ' of huhfler, threatens so many of the*people of this earth that one does notj find U in hjs heart'to condemn them too severely. ' Yet it was a Iov^ motive ’ and one which caused , thein to entirely miss the greatest and most. Messed provision of God for' their every need. The bread of this earth, bear ing the imprint of a human m ater, would soon leave, them hungry again, and. eventually <they ’,would die/ The bread of Heaven, bearing the seal of the Father (v. 27), would soon satisfy, them for all eternity. : Note the folly of those who labor tor the reward which this, world oan give, but who hegleot their eter nal welfare (v., 27). How foolish, tooj is the Christian who spends his whole life and his' talents-in fhe pursuit of money and invests little or nothing of time or ability in the service of Godt H. The Work 'of' Men and the Work of God' (w . 28-33).: Entangled as they were in earth ly things and desires, they seemed' tor a moment to. reach out toward UuKthings of God, Jesus had been , talkjng about everlasting; -life and: Uie bread from heaven; they want* ed to know what they could do to merit and'rieceive it. . It is quite typical of man even to. this day that he thinks there must be ; some way- that be.-can come Uirough to eternal blessedness by way Of his own works. We. riiall see how effectively Jesus dealt with that folly) The. only work that man can do to meet God’s first demands and in herit. eternal life is., to believe -In Christ :(v.„ 29) . Men want to-add (ip works of penance, works of char- ify, .deeds of righteousness, char acter development, tiie observance Of religious traditions and cere monies; the offering ^ prayers, and ^o on withopt end. Jesus sweeps aside all this with one brief word, saying in ^lect».-4tit is.nof-.-a. .ques tion of doV’it is a matter of believe.” Works is not tiie answer; to any spiritual'need, but faitii in; Christ. -We must' trust 7God and belidve .in the One whom He -has.-sent; then we are ready to go out 'and do bis.wUl! ?

For the past few weeks ! under stand there has been in circula tion a petition and much propa ganda for the purpose of getting a referendum on establishing an A. B. C. store in Mocksville. .Many engaged in this acttvity are labor ing under woeful deceptions. The "wets” are saying; "Give us' a liquor store and stop bootleg ging.” Nowhere in Nordi Caro lina has a liquor store stopped boodeggine.' Tbe facts are, a li quor store will increase bootleg ging. With die coming of a liquor store will be more drinking, and more drinking die more 'alcohol ics; and die more alcoholics (he more bootlegging. Itrunsinthis cycle. Martin County has A.B.C. stores. -In 19^6 officers of die county- found 136 illegal stills. It will not solve die bootlegging problem. It will add to it. f Moreover, die “wets” are say ing, “Give us liquor stores and reduce our taxes from its revenue.” Can you point to any place where liquor revenue has decreased, tax es? Franklin County has liquor stores. Since that time Franklin has increased her taxes 7c. on the $100. Again, in a recent year, Nordi Carolina spent $26,000,000 on liquor through her.-. A* B. C. stores. Thesame year the State received' $2,000,000 in revenue. Twenty-four million went out of our State to northern distillers. Is this a good Business proposition? The liquor store in our midst will not decrease taxes. But in the event it did decrease taxes, who Wjants that kind of revenue? Men can get money from a bank at the point of a gun, but who wants' that kind of money? Some make* money'on the business of prosti tution, but who wants this kind;: of gain. Some men make money by every form of crookedness, but who wants this kind of money? Somemen make moneys on the nefarious liquor business, but who desires this kind of revenue? Nfot the people of Davie County. The people of Davie County do not want to sacrifice their morals, their souls, their characters, and Chris tianity for a meager sum of reve nue derived from a wicked, liuuor business. • Furthermore, an A. B. C. store would hurt every business in Da-; vie County. It would hurt die grocery and dairy business, be cause the more one spends fin: liquor and die more money he spends out of the State the less Ke would have with which to buy’ groceries and milk. O ndie same I principle it .will hurt the clothing i stores, hardware,'insurance> auto mobile business. A lldiis is true to say nothing of the spiritual and moral evils it would bring. Wc do not need more drunk enness in Davie County; we need more sobriety. We do not need more stumbling blocks in; our pathway; we need more spiritual and moral power to make this better world. We do nor need more liquor in Davie County; we need to give our officers more en couragement and moral support in cleaning. Uh the liquor we al ready have. j. p . D a v is .

W - * J V ■■ A fluffy, golden browned casserole Is Ideal supper tare tor cold nights. This one combines protein foods such as dried beet and eggs with the vegetable, which is whole kernel corn.I Make Hearty Meals When the family comes-tramping home on cold nights^with" the appe tites of woods-, m en, m any a hom em aker is put to the acid test of really fill ing them up with plenty of hearty, nourishing food. Sometimes appetites seem endless, especially when the food is hot suit ed to weather or to work and play, but there’s an answer to all this. ' Hearty foods solve the puzzle best,' so bring out the- stews so rich in vegetables and inexpensive cuts of meat, casseroles with sauces and gravy and top them off with hunger-’ satisfying desserts/ Don’t forget the vegetables. and fruits as thesei are an important cog in balancing ;the meal and rounding it out. Another easy trick to take the edge off sharp appetites is to serve a piping hot soup of some kind just before dinner. This may be light or hearty depending upon the type of family you have. This, too, is eco nomical because you can use bones from roasts or the carcass of a fowl from dinner land'toss in some vege tables, and have enough soup for several days. , A soup is nice to serve before the following casserole.

IN ONE of the.most bitter and illu- x minating repofcts ever to be filed with congress, - a house subcommit tee on small business declares in ef fect that the freely competitive private enterprise system about which we hear so much, is but a myth. Unless something' is! done to end monopolies and concentration of economic power, warns the committee, there will be eventual own ership and. control; by., government such as is now taking place In EUg- Iand and .Franbe, y 'r _ This five-man .!congressional- sub committee. of three Democrats and two Republicans, headed by Con- gressman Kefauvre of -Tennessee, afterweeks,:of. testimony,, Spreads for the record, in 432,printeid pages the unsuccessful fight for the past 50 years to stop-monopoly and-eco- nomic concentration.' It! declares, “either we must believe ’ in, and take the steps necessary to make possible . a .competitive, enterprise System, or . we must! give it up, bit by, bit, year- by year.” f'~ The report, just filed with the 80th. congress, charges: • That our economy ! as;-now prac ticed operates In a vicious'circle-- that both Big and Little Business call , for., free competitive enter-, prise; but .Big Business works con stantly toward monopoly, and con centration of controls, and stifles competition so . that enterprise' is no longer really free; That government points the finger at monopolies, but neglects to en force laws such' as the Sherman and. Clayton acts !aimed at anti-trust practices sand restraint of trade; HypocnftcaI A ttitu d e a ■ That congress flays government agencies for failure: t o .enforce these' laws .and then retysesvor neglects to provide the money' and person nel necessary for their enforcement; That business criticizes govern ment interference and regulation; but pressure groups, in labor, agriculture and business force govern ment interference and protection when the sam'e business mon opolies step on their toes; That the public deplores and fears,- inflation, depression, boom and bust, / but Big Business monopoly and a “survival of the fittest” poli cy In our enterprise, sysiem brings about periodic depressions, cycles of boom and bust and inflation; _ That the government spends bil lions ' of dollars of the peoples’- money. to battle depression with, public works -and unemployment compensation;. That people lose more billions in high prices during periods of infla tion and depleted savings, unem ployment .and depressed-, property values during depressions. Thus the vicious circle works, with those who cry lo&jiest Yqr ,a chance to “go back to a- free enterprise system without government bu reaucratic interference” ' > ranking as the very, ones who shackle free competitive enterprise,.and.veyen- tually bring about more govern- ment regulation. Unrealiatic Argamente Z- “The argument most frequently heard,” the report says, '“coming from Big Business is that if we are left alone our superior efficiency can give the public , more goods and services at lower prides.” The committee finds, however, that this so- called superior efficiency has not been demonstrated and that those who maintain that Big Business, if not interfered with by government, will always maintain ,a competitive enterprise economy, are bemg just as unrealistic as those Small Business proponents who would ignore the fact that m most of . the key industries, size, up to a certain .point, is necesspry for efficient op eration.” - , The report - declares , that if eco nomic power is to be reduced, then there is no avoiding government in terference with business and some" expenditure of government funds. And it says, "to the extent that con. centration of economic power IN CREASES THE SEVERITY OF RECURRING DEPRESSIONS, the funds spent on public , works'and um employment payments are so:huge as to dwarf to insignificance the funds,which an, effective anti-trust program would warrant."' V;- - We are' drifting toward ■: almost complete gqvernment regulation, the report asserts,, with the only alter native a concerted effort and a general public recognition of the need to reduce economic concentration and, place a statutory prohibition on the size of business. This condition, your Home Town: Reporter believes, affects every small business man and every farm er. The only way to obtain free com.- petitivb enterprise-, is to bring monopolies.under, the pitiless ;li^it of ,the anti-trust and restraint of 'trade tows. .

The bank’s stock belonged-to private in dividuals and bad been pacing about 3% interest. The government did not evaluate toe btuik, but simply took over all the ^stock, giving to all former owners bonds; equal, to the market value of the stock and bearing 3 per cent The invaluable hidden assets which invariably ac crue to such an institution went to the government without remunera tion to the former stockholders. -Danger Present The Bank of England also wa^. given power to require other banks of the country' to accept such bank ing policies as it might decide to issue. Some experienced bank ers fear that the,day may comefohen the government, because of extensive deficit financing, will advocate unsound banking policies which would react badly upon the finan cial {status of the IAdted Kingdom.' Policies already adopted by. toe bank have led to the discontinuing interest formerly paid on deposits and savings accounts. Industoies slated for nationaliza tion by the Labor government are: (1) Transportation, including rail roads, transport buses, street-cars, canal barges, and coastal shipping, (2) Utilities, including production and distribution of electric power, and the operation’ of water systems throughout the Kingdom, (3)* The iron and steel industry, and-'(4 ) Civil aviation. Complications In Steel Perhaps 'the most complex prob lems tor. nationalization are pre sented by the iron and steel indus try. This is a highly skilled craft, requiring skills and know-how to be found only, in the present manage ment of the industry.' Many impor tant but closely related industries in manufacturing, from needles to lo comotives, would be affected. One government economist told me that the government would take over production of steel and iron up to the point where toe metal was al lowed to cool, regardless of the 'form in which that might be. However; another economist stated that this policy would draw the line of-de marcation for nationalized industry, right through the center of some plants which were. accustomed to using a continuous process until metals were actually shaped into materials for sale. • Some observers in Ehigltuid difficulties will be so great that tne government finally wijl give up the scheme of nationalizing the iron and steel industries. In fact, the. gov ernment has recently indicated toe scheme would be postponed for at least foiir years. One steel opera tor ventured that production per man-hour would.certainly-go down when and if, toe government took over. One of his reasons was that the workers would be. at potato en tirely too far removed1" from the source of authority. He also af firmed that in his opinion workers did not like the idea of nationalization. Unde Sam Says Oneofniynephewsf AsslstantSee* retary of the United States Treasury Edward H.

Jubilant on August 2. Not Kecause ' an unruly monurdi had abdicated. On that day the Wtfc Congress ad journed, ' and it* 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 vpte I for them or against them. .' Oip founding fathers who decried the making of laws “without repre-( sentation,” could have compliment ed our wartime Congress. Serving through a most trying period at the very beginning of our reconstruc tion, after courageously displaying ' a people's will through the most de bilitating war in our history, the . TOto Congress faced all manner of' complicated problems. •' Deliberation Probably the 79th Congress did not please everybody. But'at the same ■ time, when one surveys the record, it is apparent that this Congress has made some unusual history, ’ Con-1 gress accepter the United Nations | charter, thus committing America to a much more effective part in world leadership. This Congress demonstrated that it is not willing to allow our foreign policy to ride the ,winds-of fortune, that it will be ac tive though deliberate in helping build a peace.. Deliberate. . Ibat1* 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 best representation. Hemember that when you hear the alarum: “Why doesn’t Congress do something?” . Ne Rubber , Stamp Remember 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 bunding may be chalked up to other branches of gov ernment. v But this Congress did demonstrate that it Was no "rubber stamp”_.Congress, and it made par-. Uamentory history in this respect/It-was a people’s' Congress. It -took definite steps in the. direction ef a balanced budget, tor many legis lators put themselves on record in an attempt to preserve toe in tegrity of toe nation’s finances. No budget legislation was passed, but much was done to prepare ground work for future budget-balancing legislation. . Deeadeat Boreaueraey.' .

Long live our Congress) May it ever be the people’s representation. % : Wiajge Wisdom Wages rose and prices fell dur ing the ten years Jiast before Wwld Wary H when wotting., men were able, through collective bargaining, to' influence the operations of pri vate enterprise without political interference. Workers earned more dollars per working day and each dollar took on mote buying power as. time went on. it was a two-way improvement. ' / ' "The actual buytog powet of one hour's work (straight time) rose at the rate of metre than '4 % each year, or over 40 % for the entire ten-year period,” says Labor’s Monthly Sur vey, issued to May by toe American Federation of Labor. "This was possible because production per, man-hour increased steadily, creat^ tog the wealth to pay higher wages.”' W « Changed Things . So,long as.men, money and ma chinery were busy making things to eat, wear and use for better liv ing, it turned out as planned; bet ter living resulted: But when capital, labor, and: tools, by' necessity, had to swing into the manufacture M munitions and 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 cancelled h and the workers’ actual buy^ig'^ower per hour of work, as measured by real wage rates,': did Hot increase It all.” Tliese statements- are supported by government figures made available through the department of-Labo/. Moreover toe AFL analyst’s, logic is perfectly sound.. Holding Prfces Down The labor bulletin contained no carping criticism of government, bor against the artificial restraints! set up to keep a fictitious economy from getting out of control. ' On the other band it says plainly that 'tander wholesome business condi- tions “wage increases are. paid tor by. rising productivity.” Thus with mass production and volume sales “toe wage rises are all clear gain.” “Our. first task 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 win create the in come to pay furtheiK wage to- creases.” Anything I. might say about that doctrine would be simply gilding the lily. Itisthe plaintruth and a credit to any philosophy. CofBestratots • At-the present, conditions are far fronf wholesome. The government’s new. artificial wage controls, bom Iof political expedience, create high er: wages with one hand and' snatch them away with the other to toe form: of-higher prices. In: a gov-, emment-fouled economy, it is jsmall wonder that farmers and bustaes? men ilike lino up tor help at the door a t Uncle Sam’s “fix-it” department. '. The Office of Price Administra tion is getting as much criticism as it deserves now perhaps. My com ments are brief: Private enterprise needs freedom if it is to operate by the tow-of supply and demand, and to aOmie Held*, supply will meet de mands much sooner if regulations are lifted. The O.P.A. has done some good work and well deserves^ digr nifiedfuneral.aoon. yoUn BlRTHSTONe F0 RFE8 BUARy- AMemysrI JanU A ry 2 7-feb ru a rv 2~1 AsniCMiri . TIMS WHBM FMSNPf«u«Eorawnon$.

Bwlgel Message Gets ImkewarmReception Premdent Truman’s budget mes sage seems to- have met a some; what lukewarm reception; not only in Washington bht in the press of the country., In the natiou's- capi tal, it was stated that, recommenda tions of the budget came. as some what of a “cold shock” to the Re publicans, although as a matter of fact most of them, had been antiei dpatlng the figures and were not greatly surprised -And. the' mes sage was not approved . even by many of the Democrats : Among the notable critics /were Senator Harrv Flood. Byrd, of Virginia. : The President’s budget calls, fqr an expenditure of something like 37% billions dnring the next fiscal year. Considering the fact that it will be Ae second peace-time year and comparing the estimates with peace-time budgets, even under the spendthrift F. D. Roosevelt ad- ministrations, the size of the fi gures really is shocking Presideot Truman predicts that, .with tax collections as he expectj them to be. and with taxes not re duced, under his recommehdations we stall have a balanced budged with a surplus ot- something like $200,000,000' -In view of the.fact tbnt this surplus is only about one- half of one per; cent of the total sum involved; it would seem that the President is treading on. very thin ice. A slight modification; in tax collections might easily break the ice and plunge the government jnto another deficit. It IS interesting toribte'lhat those who aoprove the President's figtir uresare the New Dealers. They say that it ought to be. put over, and caption against tax reduction What they are interested in is- not relief to. the people but acontinu- Ofexpenditnres on socialistic ex- permenta'l projectt.

Sotln after the senate reconvened^ Senator Wayne Morse (Rep., Ore.) introduced his "anti-monop oly act of 1947’’ making it unlawful for business firms to form a monop oly and prohibiting them from joining international cartels and provid ing a 53,000,000 annnai appropria tion for the justice department to enforce provisions of the proposed law. . Senator Morse was joined in introduction. of the measure by Aiken (Rep., Vt.); Langer (Rep) N. D.); Young (Rep., N. D.j; Murray : (Dem., Mont.); Kilgore (Dem. W. Va)) and Taylor '(Dem., Ida.). Some provisions of the bill would eliminate discriminatory freight rates by directing the Interstate Commerce commission to prepare uniform, class rates for railroad transportation; authorizing the jus tice department to participate in patent suits and prohibit patent li censing agreements which limit pro duction or control prices; authoriz ing the. Federal Loan admmistra- tion to make .long term capital joans at low interest to small and com petitive business enterprises with emphasis on guaranteed loans .han dled through private banks; more adequate enforcement of the'Sher man and Clayton acts, and amend ments making officers''and directors of corporations violating the acts liable to penalties; authorizing the Federal Trade- commission to act as master in chancery in any anti trust proceeding and to brmg find-, ings of fact and. recommendations to the court; directing the-President to review the operations of regula tory agencies. A Ltumg Battte Recently your Home Town Re porter discussed the report of the house. small business committee showing how ineffective had heen the fight against trusts and monop olies during the past 50 years, and how this concentration of economic power had grown to effectively shut out competition. President Trum an, although aware-of the conservative trend of the present congress, did not hesi tate to back up.this house cgnmittee report and, indeed, of a prior finding of fact by a committee (mown as the- temporary national economic committee. Said the President: .- “The second-major policy'I desire to lay before you has to do with the growing concentration of eco nomic power and the threat to free competition in private enterprise . . . to strengthen and enforce the laws that regular business practices is not enough. Enforcement must, be supplemented by positive measures of aid to. new enterprises. Govern ment assistance, research, pro grams and credit powers should be' designed and used to promote the growth of new firms and new indus tries . . . we . also should give spe cial attention to the decentralization of industry and the development of areas now under-industrialized.” Expeef Utlle Action ' Although this question of eradica tion! of monopoly and concentration of economic power is considered by economists as ranking high in importance if the American capitalis tic and free competitive enterprise system , is to survive, there is grave doubt if this congress will take any action, either upon: the President’s suggestion or the bill which Senator Morse and his colleagues have in-' traduced. It may be remembered that Senator Morse introduced this same bill in the 79th congress and it ran up against a stone wail: of opposition.; If possible, the-'present congress is more conservative, more inclined to let business alone than even the-last congress, and although the anti-trust division of the justice department and the restraint of trade suits may be pressed by this and other agencies, there simply are insufficient funds and personnel to carry through on any well organized program, if not backed by further action from congress. After reaffirming his belief in cap italism, Senator Morse declared: ’ “However, I refuse to blind my self to the fact that private property economy does not entitle great com-, binations to a ticense to make-Un reasonable profits and exercise un reasonable controls over the public at the expense of . the rank and Hle of the American people, I refuse to ignore the fact that if we are : to maintain this private property ecom omy tben the- individual .citigen who wishes to exercise economic initiative must be able to do it in' a free competitive system.” I ear Tot’s Party Dress A DARLING little party dress for a wee'mite that mother will find delightfully easy to sew.

Opposes Uquor Stores JurorsFor March €ourt I have been asked by the good editor of this paper to state my views pn the issue of an’A. B.- C. store for Davie County, r 1. I congratulate the stand ta ken by the editor of. this paper on this issue which is not. a political issue but a moral issue. Mr. Stroud has stood firm against liquor for more than 40 years. 2. I know of no drys who be lieve the morals of their county would be improved by having le gal liquor stores in this county. 3. The wets would have us be lieve that it would help to control liquor by making it legal and sell ing it in ajegatiy controlled store. Liquorislike a rattlesnakes- you can legalize rattlesnakes, put them in a store, «31 them fancy names but they are still deadly. 3. The liquor interests of this nation care nothing for the homes and the lives of our fbung peo ple. The liquor interests are spen ding millions of dollars to make their products seem popular and to try to make people believe die law cannot be enforced. 6. Liquor laws can be enforced ; ust as any other law can be forced. 6. Ih e wets say A. B. C. stores will bring revenue to the county. This is true. It will bring revenue to die county. It will take out one hundred times more money from the county than it will bring into the county. Thousands and thousands of dollars will go out of the county if liquor stores are made legal. Money will be spent for Iiquorthat should be spent for milk, for shoes, for groceries, for doctor's bills and other neces sities of life. 7. Conditioins are worse where liquor stores have been tried, for it increases the amount of liquor consumed and more homes suf fer, more husbands go home drunk more young people drink where liquor stores are approved by the people. 8. Thewetswantthe drys to approve of drinking and make it a social and acceptable thing on do. To call liquor nice- and I ceptable is to call a hog clean and them, pretty. A hog will not be clean, and act nice if you bring him into the nicest home in the coimtv. Liquor brings filth and decay in to every lifethat consumes enough of it. 9. The wets say you can’t le gislate morals—the ten command ments are divine legislation. l6. The wets say get the mon ey out of it. That is what Judas said when he sold Christ out for Can Answer?

U THE GEORGIA MESS WASHINGTON.—It was carefully hushed up at the time, but the polit ical mess in Georgia might have been avoided if the justice depart ment had gone ahead with a secret probe it conducted of the Tal- madge election. Last fall, the justice department had FBI men making a. thorough check of Talmadge intimidation and racial discrimination at the polls. This, under recent supreme court rulings, now is the direct concern of the federal government and can be prosecuted as a criminal offense. The FBI investigation showed ' that TaImadge had sent instruc tions to the Georgia primary polls aimed at preventing Ne groes from voting. Although the evidence was conclusive, Hiey justice department finally got cold feet. The case was dropped. One obstacle the justice depart ment ran up against was the fact that Eugene TaImadge was sick and they couldn’t get to him for interro gation. Also son Herman Talmadge outbluffed the justice boys'and re fused to answer questions unless a stenographer was present. Final factor, however, was the fear that federal government inter vention in Georgia would boom-, erang, hurting the very same lib eral forces the justice department wanted to help. « » * MARSHALL’S WARxLEAK One of the most significant things to watch regarding the state depart ment under General Marshall will be whether he continues Jimmie Byrnes’ policy of open diplomacy. No secretary of state since Charles Evans Hughes has been as frank with ithe press as Byrnes, Hughes handled all press conferences him self, was a master at giving impor tant background information, was generally frank and forthright. Byrnes, while not handling many conferences himself, went further than Hughes in making sure that a competent state department official gave newsmen a general picture of what was happening inside diplo matic negotiations. Byrnes also didn’t object to most news leaks; felt the American peo ple had the right’to know about foreign policy. ■ However, some of those allegedly close to General Marshall say he may tighten up on the Bymes policy and-crack down on news leaks. This, of course, may be unfair to the new secretary of state; for, based on his own past record, Marshall has been quite a “leaker” himself. In fact, one cable seized from the files of the German foreign office now re veals ' that’ General Marshall was woefully indiscreet in the early stages of the European war and in advertently let out important se crets to the enemy. AIDS TAX EVADERS Some of the nation’s ,biggest : black-marketeers and on-the- make war contractors are get- . ting away with income tax eva sion, thanks to a snarled-np situ ation inside the .justice depart ment. Around 300 criminal income tax eases are-awaiting prosecu tion, with little chance of rapid action. Behind Hiem is another 1,200 income tax fraud cases in the treasury, soon ready for transmittal to the bottlenecked justice department. Meanwhile, the black-marketeers and cer tain war contractors have been getting away with murder. , CHURCH AND LABOR It hasn’t been announced officially, but .prominent church leaders are beginning an important behind-the- scenes study in connection with the government’s efforts to maintain in dustrial peace. There have been several private meetings recently at which both Protestant and Catholic clergymen sat down and traded ideas with industrial and labor spokesmen on the question of labor relations. TChile the churchmen deny that they are endeavoring to make religion a “bargaining factor” in the settlement of labor disputes; they fee] that the church should play a definite .part in improving work and pay standards. They also believe It is the duty of the chureh to in ject a ‘“greater , sense of moral responsibility and understand ing” In bargaining between em ployers and employees. . CAPITAL CHAFF Washington’s poorest guesser is the Pentagon -official ,who trans ferred General Marshall from a, plush- suite of offices at the Pentagon to a. small, two-desk room just four days before.the general was named secretary of state. . . . Henry Wal lace has jacked the New Repub lic’s circulation up from 40,000 to 100,000 weekly in one month. . , . Harold Smith, former director of the budget, may replace Jack Hutr son as assistant secretary .general of the United Nations. ■ MARSHALL TAKES OVER . . ; After conferring for an hour with; President Truman, Secretary of State George C. Marshall, above, prepared to seat himself in the office at desk vacated by. his predecessor, James F. Byrnes. Marshall has stated definitely that he is not interested in politics—and meant that he would not run tor president, “and if elected would not serve.” Both parties, as well as the world, - were assured that his office would not be a political football. . HOLDS QUADS FOR FIRST TIME . . . Mrs. Oiarles Henn Jr., Balti more, Md., finds that quads, even if only a month old, make a real arm full. She is shown at St. Agnes hospital as she holds her famous month-old quads for the first time. At the left are Tommy and Bruce, while at right are Joan and Donald. The children are reported to be doing exceptionally well; and to be growing fast. The parents have been offered homes from one end of the country to the other—and jobs for the father. ’ HOOVER OFF TO EUROPE . , . Former president, Herbert • Hoover, as he left fbr Europe to make an ecAnomic survey of the American occupation zones in Germany, and Austria. BLUE BABX OPERATION SUCCESSFUL ....

He is shown playing in his crih with a toy as nnrse, Mrs. Maravene Hamburger, attends him. In recent months sev-. eral successful “blue baby” operations have been performed at Johns Hopkins hospital. The ease of Tommy attracted-nationwide attention.; C -V -Si A * V <* > ^ » A ffllv i * ^iC HIGHEST PAID PRIVATE . . . Frank E. James; Lincoln, Neb., became one of the highest paid'privates in the army when accepted for enlistment recently. Here he is shdwn with his wife and 11 children. He will receive $383 monthly In army pay and allowances for his de- 1 pendents due to present army scale. The James children range in age from 5'months to 13 years. James, after investigating many offers, became convinced that the army held the biggest attractions for him.

Patient and razor are’doing well. We found . it under the Christmas tree and regarded it with apprehen sion. People had been shaving with electric razors for years. We knew that. But 'we had never been mucb of a hand with machinery. Electricity, we had always thought, was . okay in dynamos, transformers, etc., but not among whiskers. ■ ’ » TCe read the directions and thought of submitting the whole business to our attorney in case oi damages. Then we thought Ot Napoleon, of Wellington, of Old Put, of Fremont and other brave men of history. TCe tpok the apparatus out of the box and cried — “Forward! Ours not to reason why! Ours but to plug and try!”' _• I "First be.sure the white dot is in the center of the dial," said the shaving .orders. Uial? . . . Was this a radio or a razor? . . . Were we to get a shave or a quiz program? . . . Stand your ground, men!• We fixed the dot We made, the necessary connections. We plugged in. The thing was really almost noiseless, but to us it seemed as if we had just started two airplane motors and a gasoline lawn mower. We dropped everything and read the directions again. Then we Called down to see if there had been any shoh circuits. * It was’ too tate to quit now. TCe thought of the men at the Alamo and pressed on. Our face was un scathed. So was our beOrd.

In fact, the people consumed more liquor in' nine months than they had in the previous 12. Maybe the Republican victory in Novem ber had something to do with it. * - But Dr. Jellinek says, that despite the fact there was more drinking, there was a decline in drunkenness.

Record-breaking crowds in college football have been a big factor in college professionalism, which has Teachedi an all- time high. The tidal wave of gold, coming with a record boom also has broken all betting marks in both college and professional sport. Hie wonder is that more scandals haven’t crashed the headlines. This will happen unless sport in general gets stronger guard ianship than it has drawn t'o date— with harsher penal ties attached. Just as pro foot ball was coming to the finish of one of its greatest years, the Giant scandal developed and mem bers of the Cleveland Browns, facing a championship play-off, got in volved in a drunken brawl with po lice. In both New York and Cleve land, police were kept busy with pro football players for various reasons. JIereI Hapes was barred from the Giant-Bear game and Capt. Iim Daniels of the Browns was barred from the Brown-Yankee contest in Cleveland. Rumors are not always true—but they at least demand closer watch ing than many of them have drawn. In the reign of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, I happen to know that the old Judge was not only re spected but also actually feared by anyone even Ughtly involved. I don’t think anyone in sport, today is afraid in any way of anyone directing spoTt. Too Much Temptation The Judge suspended Buck Weav er for life because Weaver, who hadn’t taken a dime, had failed to report the conspiracy. I’ve had more than a few ball players ask me not to print the fact that I met them at some race track. They were afraid the judge might hear about it. Any bail player caught playing around with a bookmaker or any type of gambler would have been np before the judge for rugged pun ishment in a rush. Sport, financially, has gotten too big. Too much money, is involved. Discipline has gone haywire. There has been too much temptation for the weak to resist, knowing the golden doubloons that are rolling around. Too many, high in sport, have been asleep too long. The receipts have been too good. The dream has been too pleasant. They have re fused to heed "the rumble of a dis tant drum.”The great majority of athletes are honest. Yet too many are undisciplined and too many out of condi tion. We have no sympathy for grown athletes who say,they have been tricked or fooled by gamblers. Any athlete, who after the first suggestion of a crooked proposition doesn’t go directly to his coach; has no place in any game. It may come to the point that any athlete under any form of suspicion may have to be watched. Certainly any jockey, football, baseball or basketball play er, to mention only a few entries, seen in company with any gambler needs watching. Only a Few Crooks As some philosopher once said “Rubes can think up more crooked things than crooks can invent.” . In my opinion the great bulk of sport is clean. But among so many involved, there are sure to be a few who are either crooked or weak. And it takes only a few of Ihese to upset the works. This is why the game today, college and pro, needs eternal vigilance and hardier penalties. f The average person you meet will tell you that college football pliy- ers should be paid, considering' the big money college athletic associ ations take in. This may be O. K. but don’t call them amateurs. For they are not., They are only fake professionals.1 I recall some years ago running across Dizzy Dean when Ole Diz- looked worried. ' “I’ve just been called before Judge Landis,” he said. "I haven’t been doin’ anything. But I’m still skeered.”That’s the type of rulership sport needs today—an itoto hand plus ev ery known way of flnding-out'what is going on. To take anything for granted is the surest way of . wad: ing into heavy trouble.»- The Bcibe StiU Tops When Babe Ruth entered a New York hospital some time ago, an entire nation was shocked to hear that he was seriously ifl. News of his recovery has lifted ftp pall.In his day and'time, the Babe has signed nhore autographs than any other member of the hunian race. No one can say how many thous ands of baseballs he has signed. Babe lost count years ago. He was so popular that he finally had to seek some form of self-protection. Duke McCale, Trlvate detective.

Soup and fish. ■ Gave me the once-over and had a few' quick straight, ones without more than a glance at me sitting there with my tongue hanging out. When the but- Ier stuck his snoot in the door, he spat out, ‘Tell my mother I'm going put this evening.-’ Not his wife, mimj you—his mother.” “Mama’s big boy.” “Oh, sure.' He and his wife don’t get along,. I take it?” „ “Your surmise 'is a good one, I think.” ... 1 “Well, while he was having Ius pnort, the wife comes in. Pd beep Wondering who’d been playing chop sticks all night until she stood there to the doorway, Jooking daggers at him. ‘Going out, Steve?’ she says, and he walks by her without a glance. She put her hand out, but he brushed her off.” "Theni King, the major-domo, calls her to the phone and she goes out.” "She had a phone call?” “Yep. After which she banged heck out of the piano for another half hour.” , . "She went out, you say?”“Yes, she did. She wasn’t gone long. About an hour. When she came home, she messed around the ivories until'hiibby rolled in', about twelve o’clock... Then the place quieted down for the night.” "Stephen came home late?” “Yes. He must have heard her going in, ’cause , a door opened up stairs. The piano stopped. He shouted something or other at her that I didn’t get. Then a couple more doors slammed.” “That the story?”- “All but mamma. She stopped King in the hall and asked for Ste phen. She almost dropped when he told her sonny boy Was doing tire town. Then she yelled for Karen. While King went looking for her, she went through a gamut of facial expressions worthy of any one of the old silent movie gals. When the butler reported that Karen had gone out top, 'she made a beeline, for the upstairs. In about twenty minutes, she came down looking like the Mer-' ry Widow—and just as worn out. She called a cab and made her exit.” », < "When did she get home?” “Just before Stevey-boy. She came in, or -floated in, would be more like it- She had just got the shock pf her life. No act this time. I actually had to help her upstairs, though I’ll bet she won’t remember it” McCale ’ nodded thoughtfully. and they fell silent for a few minutes. The figment of his imagination was jumping about wildly. He was surer than ever that .tragedy stalked, the Bigelows. Finally with a gesture— half disdain, Imlf despair — he launched into a description of the events witnessed by Ann and; him self at the Abbey. Rocky listened avidly. McCale never kept any information from his assistants when they were working together on a case. . He felt that to withhold developments made an op erator less interested' in the out come, made him feel less like, an’ integral part of the investigation. BesMes that, everyone's opinion was valuable. A word here, an: idea there— Miss Adelaide Quits ThePretense When he had finished, he cocked an eyebrow, looking interrogatively at bis friend and employee. Rocky said at last Slowly, “The thing that sticks out farthest, chief, at least as I see it—” “Is what?” . “is what Mr. Curt Vallaincourt,’ bridegroom-to-be, seems to be as busy as a bee, painting himself right into ai corner.” At four-thirty that afternoon, Duke McCale stood before the fireplace in the upstairs drawing room of the Beacon street house. He was facing Adelaide Bigelow, who was huddled In the corner at a Victorian sofa. There was something held back in her, a studied remoteness. McCale had been talking quietly, In a. voice which surprised himself at its own compassion. ’‘You’ll have to pardoh me if I say you have been—shall I say— extremely British about this situa tion. Youhavemadeaconcession here, an appeasement there, until it is quite futile to take any action. You have called .me in months too late.” * "Mn McCale",” there was a light touch of hauteur in her . tone in spite of herself,: “you are presum ing too much. I called you in to’ look after the house during the,week of the wedding.” Y/ ' s , ’ “I’m sorry, but that is not the truth. Never once have I believed you came to my office- with that in mind. I knew you were in trouble even though you. withheld your confidence. Even now yoii will not ad mit it, even to yourSelf. I have’ gone on that premise from the first —that yoii wanted me ' to'find out things without even the responsibil ity on your part of telling me what.” “I wish to withdraw from the case, Miss Bigelow- There’s noth ing I can do for you.” .'. “Oh, no!”. The words, half muf fled in the heavy atmosphere, mag nified themselves in’ the vastae^s of the room. Y / ' The fire \crackled fiercely for a long, minute^ while the essence of fear hung in the air like a strong accent. “It is necessary for me,, since you will pot confide ih me, , to tell you exactly what it is that is bothering ,you—what it is that you fear. You bee, I know. IVhat is it?”.Miss Bigelow turfted once more to the room and .McCale saw into tier mind quite easily.- The house was quiet and the room seemed just as it should be—a chamber , of • solid, Victorian fast ness, cozy, warm, intimate. Her fingers caressed the'-, sheen , of old wood, the back of a chair. She looked at him. " “So many things are not as we He stood behind heir’looking over her-shoulder while, he talked. want them'.to be, nor as we-be lieved them to-be,” shesaid! : He nodded. “There w as;for;in- stance,” he : answered, drawing/,a. parallel,, “the case of France, !with! its vigor, its impregnable defenses," its immortal and imperturbable morale. But the enemy bored fromi within, sabotaging -that morale,' and when the battle came, the heart was as rotten-as an overripe' “What do you.Her eyes clouded, know?” , A Strange Will ' v/ Complicates Things “I know .that a certain.yoiing man of undeniable physical attraction is marrying thirty million .dollars’ next week.

Her eyes lit up in admiration. “How ih the World—” “I am’; a trained observer. It is my job to see what others miss. Then, too, I,have sources Cf infor mation.” ; , ' I.' ' ’ She crossed to.the windows again, searching the outside hastily. . What in the world :• is She looking; for there?.he pondered. -Is:she anxious to have, this over with before the others get back? The family was having anpther. of .the interminable wedding rehearsals. Or was it some other thing she sought In the dark ening afternoon? She had glanced at the clock more-than once, he not ed. r He crushed his‘.cigarette ,In - an ashtray,, going over- to her-again. He stood behind her, looking over her shoulder while he talked. There was nothing to see.:' The sailor .still slumped against. the -gateway,- try ing to read a paper in the unsteady glow of a street light.,' A woman -passed in a shiny silk raincoat, a red scarf whipping out from .'her- neck in a sudden-gust of wind. Far off, near the-bandstand, hobqes had started to bum rubbish in-an Iron basket, as -was their custom : on these cold evenings, i The red glow of it flickered fitfullyin the fog. , “I know,“rhe went on, his voice low and’impatient .npw, ..“that you: must have another -reason,for sure* Iy you are not caught in . the trap.

You see, I have- heard that she Inherits : the bulk of it upon her marriage.” She sought his eyes again, an*, the queer secret duel that, they had all toe while been, fighting under neath the. smooth surface was ended, -suddenly and completely.- 1 -• ■ - - Adelaide Bigelow was giving In. McCale could tell. It was in her eyes, all the pent-up gnawing worry of -something horrible and unclean. She wasn’t going to hold out on him any more, and now-maybe he could help. . '“I-,will'tell you,” she said simply. “Veronica’s father, my brother,” she began,, motioning-him to sit, ‘.‘eras a hard man, I- suppose, but not unusual for his-time, I think. He believed that women have ,no heads for blisiness—cannot handle money. .He was heir to. my father’s business and fortune of about twelve million- dollars. With real estate and clever investing, he more than doubled that" fortune. There was no -,male heir to whom' he could leave it, you see.” . “There was’ his adopted son, Stephen,” McCale put in quickly. - “Yes,’’ she hesitated, “but not his own flesh' and blood. - But-there was certainly Stephen.” She edged over to the window again.” .’ She faced him from the recess of toe window’s bay; toe high red velour draperies dwarfing her in the. elongated' shadows. ! Her eyes, for a moment; seemed to play hide-and- seek with a memory. “At one time, I think he intended for Stephen to inherit. But Stephen, in his- eyes at least, proved himself .,unworthy, - Sybil always spoiled him. ..He grew up precocious, extravagant. He ran away once and joined the . navy. A bitter experi ence ,for.him. - The more so when he found that Joel could no doubt have procured an appointment to !Annapolis for him. He did manage M.I.T. by toe skin of his teeth. Mar riage. to., Karen has straightened ..him out somewhat.” -•“So toe Bigelow fortune is held Jh trust?’*,“Yes and ,no." Miss Adelaide rushed on now as though pressed for. time. “My brother , did not be- Tieve in having money standing idle for. always. He wroie a most pecu liar wiU.” -She' steadied herself; as if giving information on so private a matter "required. a supreme effort. .“I,think he believed we would all benefit eventually. I—I believed he counted on Veronica’s marrying someone whose .background we ail khew. You see, Sybil anti I have to agree on Veronica’s choice.” “Rather- hard :on Veronica, I should ;say.” '“,Oh, yes.” She was trying hard to explain it as she saw it. • "But he thought—”' The old voice’ rose .now, an hysterical note in it. "He wished a man to have control of, it Veronica’s husband gains control of it to do with as he will.” - “God!” McCale exploded. The spool'of his brain turned swiftly in a convulsive unreeling. The plot it- brought to mind left him numb —by its malevolence. , It was his turn to go to toe win dow. He stpod looking into the : blanket of fog, seeing nothing for a : mordent. He felt lost in the stunned silence of his own thoughts.' Be hind him, he heard Miss Bigelow sigh. - V - trWhy didn’t you come to me be fore?” was all he could say. And! '.his voice sounded so loud in the stillness that it seemed almost to penetrate toe outside, As -if he had heard, toe loitering sailor across toe way actually looked , up once at the windows, McCale laughed harshly. r "Now you.are caught In a ready diabolical web. Too late to extri cate yourselves without a scandal.” . Iaght fled from her old eyes as inwardly she contemplated such ''a thing; : He felt cruel and vicious and hard,'-but at least. rational, and was not quite able to comprehend her attitude. , TragedySpikes Sitddenly S “We can still expose this fellow- me-lad. It’s quite possible that I can dig up something in a few days.” She joined him in the bay win dow, shaking her head in a quick -gesture of distaste. ■ ■ “Impossible,” she murmured. ‘-‘Then-why, in alVjustice to your self, did. you call me in at all?” he wanted to know ............... “I thipk I wanted to be„sure.” He teft her staring out into the rain and went back-to the fire. •. “Who introduced Curt Vallain court into this - house?” he asked, raising his eyes to toe woman at the window. ' -But his query went unanswered. For on toe instant >of bringing his glance to focus on her, he saw her sway- as if something outside had struck terror to her heart. - He thought for a moment she would fall through the window. A Shot split toe silence, forcing a cry from her lips. He believed for one awful moment that Bomeone . outside had shot Adelaide, half ex pected to hear -toe shattered glass of a windowpane fall to toe floor* -In onei-leap,- he was at her side. She huddled against him;- pointing out and down. - One: quick’glance and the scene below was forever photographed on toe film of his mind.

In Stockholm this sum mtrl-had _ S delightful visit with Mr. Gunqar Anderson, vice president of the BwedishkFederation of Trade Qnions. Mr. Anderson is a well informed, intelligent man, who; recogaiseai Clearly the problems of both management and labor as well as the rights and responsibilities of each. He answered questions I put to him In a forthright manner, giving ktatistics Land‘figures from memory. Labor unions in Sweden .have been kperating for more than SO years. Hie Federation is composed . of- 40 leparate unions representing, trades - Ir divisions of trades. Membership . Jotals 1,106,000, a most, amazing 'lumber in view of the total- Swed- kh population of only 6,000,000. -The pocialistDemocratic party, strong est among the ranks of labor, .is also Ihe controlling party in !the govern- Bent No Closed Shop Yet, despite the preponderance of labor's voice in. the affairs of Swed- m, Mr. Anderson told me that labor' Iears the closed shop. Said he: “Our Iederation opposes the closed shop. Ve oppose it on the. ground of in- Uvidual freedom. We believe any ‘itizen should have freedom to join I union or not to join a union and to vork where he wishes. This plan las Worked well in Sweden. Most of he workers recognize the value. of he union and do join, but they are iot compelled to do so.” Labor-management relations are PtceIlenf throughout most Of Swcd- sh industry. One reason for this is he constant effort put forth by the federation to improve understand- ng between employers and em- kloyees. Many special committees hade up of both management and abor are continually at work for letter understanding. Outside Influence Disagreements and strikes are not Simmon in Sweden; it is a. land of ittie -labor trouble. But when the teed arises, “negotiation” commit- •es attempt to reach an agreement, mt if that fails the parties involved ■esort to “Conciliation.” Mr. An- Ierson stated that conciliation is pre- Ierred to arbitration because it keeps he responsibilities of the parties in- wived. However, an important strike af- • tecting 100,000 metal workers raged Ive months last year. "The strike was really'unfortunate,” said Kr. Anderson. “The strikers did not fain more than one-third of a cent per hour more .than they were of fered before the strike. Of course, Ihat amount .will never repay the 45 BiUlion kroner they lost in wages Idring the strike. I advised against -the strike from the beginning.“ Lat- st I-was told that the strike actually was caused by Communist iniluehee In .the metal workers unioni. W hiehDeYoaPreferf The nationalization issue has been discussed extensively in Sweden. However, there is.no intention on the part of labor to ask for nationaliza tion, chiefly, because private.enter prise is, as Mr. . Anderson-pointed But; “doing : all right.” LabOr haa no reason to think -it would fate bet ter under nationalization, and it was Mr. Anderson's view that even' the status of labor unions would be ques tionable under complete nationalization. Growing thoughtful, Mr. Andersoo continued: "Private' corporations and government managed corporations could not be expected to com pete. Government,' through use oi taxes and other methods, could aU ways come out on. top, so ft is best to have either state Management or private management, not a mixture of the two. We prefer private.” Uncle Sam Says One of my nephews, Assistant Seo- Mtary of the Onlted States Treasury Edward H -Foley, made a few remarks the other day which are worth the attention and action of all my ether nieces and nephews. In talking about buying Savings Bonds through the,payroll savings plan, he said: “Workers are doing themselves a favor when they Increase their take-home savings. The man .who has saved up a reserve *>■« a Mnse of security which the man who .Bves from band to mouth can never knew. He gets more out of Ufa. He can take today as it comes, rather than spend It worrying about tomorrow.” The same reasoning ap-Kes not only to Americans on Mme- iy's payroll but to the millions of men and women who earn their Being as doctors., lawyers andIndependent business. men/ who can 'A rrange for regular purchases sf Bavw Ings Bonds at their banks." ‘ “ > LOOKING AffEAD SI GEORGE S.

Thnoply things wholly owMd and operated by the government ara~the post office, Mephpiw ''and t&granh,. electric power, and raflroada.' There seems to-be no agitation Ibr extension of government ownership and manage ment In fact, soihe leaders feel the trend' is In ..the. other direction ond that the geverament.has 'shown no ability to provide efficient serv ice. However, cooperatives are uumer- eas ln Norway. Entirely different drain government management, they nevertheless control the buying- and selling of almost everything and are monopolistic in nature.. The effective. organizations of the co-ops, while individually owned, Iwve been vied in some instances for exten sion of government control. Subsi dies have been offered to framers’ cooperatives In an effort to please everybody: the producers with high er prices and the purchasers-with lew prices.. Wait tTtt .You’re OldThe completeness of the coopera tive monopoly may be seen in the association of drug store opera tors, to which ■'all operators be long. To ‘open a new drug .store a man would first'have to become'a member of the association and get its approval, after which he would appeal to the government for a li cense. The government could never grant a license unless the’applicant were admitted to the association. Drug store operators admit no new members- except at their own pleasure, and then seldom except to replace a member who has died. I was told that an aspirant to the drug industry can seldom be admitted to the association and obtain permis sion to operate his own store before he is 45 years' Old. Plenty of Frontiers A successftil business man In Oslo, who was a prominent leader of the resistance during the' war, is in charge of an old firm with an excel lent reputation. Said he: “The reg< illations have come to interfere with everything. I am no longer really doing business. I just sit here and do what they teD me I can do. In my opinion, the controls are a fail ure. They make production more expensive and prices higher.” Under the right kind of economic climate, the Nonregian people could *Wna their standard of living. And IhH right elimate Coaununism can never provide. Norway does not lack'Ibr frontiers. Their farms pro duce as many bushels of grain per . acre as our farms. The fishing wa- tera of Norway are not surpassed. PossiMUties for electric power are the best in the world. Manufactur ing and lumbering offer wily the ordinary. difficulties. The country is not over populated. Yet their-stand ard of Uvinjf is not more than half as high as that in America. There Is a Way Out When forward looking Norwegians try to modernize an industry, they are met squarely with the deadening hand of monopoly, either private or public. It one company manages to fhtd a way to son its products at a good price, while an other company exports its fish to Europe for. a lower'price, the for mer company pays a-tax which goes to-the second; company for .ttie sake of equalization. This policy invariably discourages excellence and tends to mediocrity. A premium iq thus placed on inefficiency and on failure to make mon ey. But a realistic incentive sys tem, based upon honest competition throughout, could soon make Uttle Norway one of the most prosperous small nations in the world. Uncle Sam Says "Jgir Tow have beard-people say, "why mve at a time when prices are going upT” We cannot an be economists; and It is perhaps just as weU, tor they seem to differ a great deal among themselves, about me future.

All Americans had reason *to he jubilant on August 2. Not because an unruly monarch had abdicated. On that day the 79th Congress ad-, journed, and its members would soon sweep through thie pre-election countryside—reporting to the "con stituency.” Cur Congressmen packed up fo return home op that day, and it has been ours to vqte for them or against them. Our foilhding fathers who decried, the making of laws, "without repre sentation,” could have compliment ed our wartime Congress. Serving through a most trying period at the very beginning of our reconstruct tion, after courageously displaying a people’s, will through the most de bilitating war ip our history, the 79th Congress faced all manner of complicated problems. ' Deliberation Probably the 79th Congress did not please everybody. But at the same time, when one surveys the record, it is apparent that this Congress has made some unusual history. Con gress accepted the United Nations charter, thus committing America to a much more effective part in world leadership. This Congress demonstrated that it is not willing to allow our foreign policy to ride the winds of fortune, that it will be ac tive though deliberate in helping build a peace. .Deliberate. That’s 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 haveXthe best representation. Remember that when you hear the alarum: "Why doesn’t Congress do something?,” No Rubber Stomp Remember too that political ex pediency makes deliberation necessary, 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 of 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 legislatiijn was passed, but muCh was done to prepare ground work for future budget-balancing legislation. Decadent Bureaucracy. ‘ A few of the Spreading tentacles of bureaucracy were lopped off by the 79th Congress, and it refused to pass other measures that would nurture the beast. Congress ■ re fused to put the National Housing Agency on a. permanent basis, and it turned the control and operation at employment services back to the states. - Major proposals for federal aid to education died In'committees. In removing many of the government 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 Iar bor in time of peace. Long Uve our Cmgressi May it ever he the peo ple’s representation. WagB Wisdom Wages rose and prices foil dur ing the tea years jurat before World Wer II udien working men were able, through collective bargaining, to infiucnce the operations of pri vate enterprise without political in terference. W oken earned.more dollars per working day and . each dollar took on more buying power as time went on. It was a two-way improvement. “The ,actual buying power of one hour's work (straight time) rose at the rate el more than 4% each year, or over 40% for the entire ten-year period,” says Labor’s. Monthly Sur vey; issued in May by the American Federation of Labor. “T his'w ar possible because production per man-hour increased steadily, creating the wealth to pay higher wages.” War Otoaged ^hlngs So long as men, money and machinery were busy malting things to eat, wear and use for better liv ing, it turned out as planned; bet ter living resulted. But when capi tal, labor and tools, by necessity, had to swing into the manufacture ‘of munitions and instruments of de struction, better living ceased. Wages increased, to be sure. So did profits. But what could we buy? Once mote let the AFL survey answer: “Every hard-won nickel of wage gain was offset by a price rise whMi cancelled it end 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 the department of Labor. Moreover the AFL analyst’s logic is perfectly sound.Hrtfiiag Prices Down The. labor bulletin contained no carping criticism of government, nor against the artificial restraints set |qi to keep a fictitious economy from getting oitt of control. Oil the 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.” “Ouk-first task is to increase production Cf consumer goods so that supply will be enough to meet de mand, and competition .again will keep prices down, so that increasing productivity will create the in come to pay further wage in creases.” Anythhig I might say about that doctrine wbtdd be simply gttdfogtiie lily. It is the plain truth and a credit ta any philosophy.Cut Restraints : At the present, !conditions are far from wholesome. The government’s new artificial wage controls, born oi political expedience, create high- er wages with one -hand and snatch them away , with the other in the form of higher prices.

The House and Senate sent 275 such hi)Is to the President's desk, and \Cleveland- fortb-righlIy ' attached hi s veto One of -them in particular' would have opened the U S. Treasury -as a pension! Dark barret for all de pendents.

The real danger inherent in surplus in tax funds lies in. the temptation to base an increased bud get too much- op revenue to he taken from the surplus .without due regard as to what will happen to governmental. .services' when the surplus is exhansted. ' Governor Cherry pointed"to thi-- d.ange.r when he to'd the Afoembly that the State1 could not exttect tbe present surplus to contibne grow ing.

MOCKSVILLE, N- C. or G m r i A m fi/CE plOR some odd reason, proving 1 they are new members of the. magnate tribe, neither Bing Crosby nor Bob Hope has claimed any (pennant for the Pi- I rates or the Indians. Asyoumayknow I both are now dose- ] Iy involved in 'the I standings of these I two dubs and both twill need some !slight improvement I before they reach Ithe g o n fa lo n ic I heights. At the moment, magnate Hope aid in g Crosby ready has wagereda golf ball with magnate Crosby that the Indians finish higher up in the American league race than the Pi rates finish in the National. Hope panted to make this a box of golf balls, but Crpsby demurred, recall ing the spots both occupied last fall. No one can blame Crosby for this careful attitude although he already has strengthened the Fitt raster with a player by the name of Green berg. - Bnt after all, the Indlaiis have Bob Feller. They also have a shortstop-second base combination in Loa Boudreau and Joe Gordon that will be worth watching. “ Joe Gordon is1 too fine a ball player, too strong a competitor to have another oft year,” Hope tells you. “Joe was. just another war-athlete victim. Before that he was one of the greatest defensive second base- ■ men in baseball history and a dan gerous hitter. Uke many other baseball and football players he had something - of a slumping spell aft er leaving the army, but it will be a different story this next season. Joe is still young and in good physical shape. Boudreau is also young. He is one of the star shortstops of base ball. .This pair will put on plenty of fireworks together." Gordons Future We look for the same result. ' Gordon has been too fine a ball play er and too much of an athlete to be placed on the waning list. There is a good chance that he will have one of his best seasons. Strength \ through the shortstop-second base position can make a big difference . to any club and this Cleveland com bination may easily match the Red ' Sox pair or the Cardinal-Dodgers outfits. Anyway, “Hope still springs eternal in the baseball breast," where Hope is still hopeful of big days ahead. Apparently Crosby and Hope had to find some way to keep busy and kill time. , All Bing does is to handle a Mg radio job, make motion pictures, do a world of recording and pat on igolf tournaments. AU Bob Hope does Is work on radio, make pictures and appear at practically every lunch eon and banquet function along the west coast. Now they are in base ball. It might be remembered that only recently in tournament play, Bing shot a 75 at golf while Bob is around 78 or 80. If word gets, oat they are likely to spend most of their ronnds signing autographs^ Both are red hot ’ baseball fans and both hope to drop in on their, respective teams when spring train ing starts. Bing’s Pirates have a long way to move before crashing the first division. -The Cardinals and Dodgers are the first two road blocks. The Cubs will be fetter, and probably luckier than they were last season. The Braves and Philr lies will be stronger teams. So will , the Giants. If Bing had a pitching arm, the Pirates could use that bet. ter than his golf swing. N. • * • Eagle vs. Lion No matter how you may figure it .all out, the , two top international rivals in sport are the United States and Great Britain. They remain the two great sporting nations of what we call the world today . In all fairness it mast be adpiit* led that England and Scotland are1 outnumbered by United States about S to I, so the odds should belong our way. But without EngIand and Scotland there woidd be no inter national competition. Not with Rus- sia, not with France, Italy, dhina, Japan, Germany, or Britain. It 1 could be different with Sweden and Finland In distance races. . The point is. that the British isles provide the U. S. their only compe tition at this date. By that fm ean that England and Scotland can supply their share of trouble in golf- including the Walker cup matches next May.*- They may .even win this test if tfie winds come, up and the rains arrive. \ • British Golfers In Dai Rees they have one of the best golf professionals.,-! haVe seen. Rees would be an: even bet. against Hogan, or Ndsmi on any Biitisb course. If the Ryder cup matches were played over a seaside. British links, the odds would beeven. That’s " how good ' he is. It is certainly no parrot a push-over that the U. S., with the strong team now picked, can get by with the next Walker cup matches. The British have an ever chance over' their own terrain. . Let Children Play and Frolic! (See recipes below) Youngsters’ Parties Has your youngster had a party recently? There’s nothing quite so excellent for social training for the youngsters as having a party com pletely their own. Social graces, un selfishness and consideration of oth ers can be taught easily, this way. Of course, a’child may look upon this purely ai fun, but he can’t help absorbing some social sense about the affair even if he is young, don’t suggest that any parent widd a stro n g arm o v er h im ,b u t there are little ways of coaching him to see that his small guests are com fortable, and the fact that they have come to see him in his own home gives the child a certain awareness about his role in the matter. As a mother, you should.,be care ful in planning the food for the chil dren. and seeing that everything goes' smoothly. Little tots are apt to get very excited at the prospect of a parly, so it's a good idea to have food simple and easy-to-digest.

Food OrganizaitiDn Movlnc Towanlt Workable Program AS THIS is written, representa tives of 18 governments of as m6ny nations are in-almost continu ous session attempting to piece, to gether ; a workable and acceptable program for a World plan to handle and stabilize the prices on all food surpluses and for international co operation on world food problems, under.; the aegis of the United Na tions Food and Agricultural organiza tion...; . Any prediction a few months ago that .the International commission could work out suclt an agreement and, more .important, that the Amer ican congress would accept any such plan, would' have been shrugged off as highly improbable. However, the fact is that the experts declare a practical plan is ready for recom mendation. What is more, there is every likelihood that onr congress, despite Its ultra-conservatism, final*. Iy will approve the recommenda tions and that the United States gov ernment will join in the world food Plan. The recent proposal of England's Sir John Orr was so widespread in scope and dictatorial in its. concep tion that the United States govern ment could not go along. However^ the present commission, according to-advance information, is attempt ing to accomplish'the same results by means of multilateral agree ments with the several nations on various commodities. Stabilixation Sought According to information, the most promising proposals which have been accepted by the commission came-from our own department of agriculture and vfrom the newly- formed International Federation of Agricultural Producers, organized in .London earlier last'year. It rep resents and speaks not only for our own national farm organizations but also for the farm organizations in 13. member _ countries and for: 5 other countries- which have not yet joined the FAO. Recommendations of the commis sion provide formation of a World Food council and this council would, by agreement, attempt to insure that trade, and commodity programs would conform to the efforts of agriculturists to stabilize world food 'prices of surpluses and generally. Im prove: production and distribution of agricultural psoduots. !Hie council also would cooperate with such in ternational organizations as the In ternational Trade - organization, which: has for Hs purpose the in crease of world trade and stabiliza tion of commodity prices; the In ternational Federation of Apicuttnr- al Producers, which has for its pur pose ,!the stabilization of farm export prices and to fix minimum and. maximum prices for food. exports, and the International Trades Union organization, also recently estab. Iished- in London. These three organizations would act as fountain heads-af.''suggestions upon which the World Fpod couiKil would, act. The temporary: com mission, now in session, has before it the, suggestions of many nations invdved which have been presented during, the past two years and "which have.-Resulted1 from the conferences at Mexico City, Copenhagen, Lons don,. Quebec and Washington. Longi fta n g e Im p ro vem eta t Accprding to information^'the U.

'. • Aeeording to word from the com- mission sessions, there is an amaz ing unanimity of opinion as to the need, and negotiations for agree ment, have' the blessing of our own state department as wen as ttie departm ent of agricultuA.

OUTSIDE STATE -SlOO After many years the Davie County Republican lamb and lion have lain down together. WiU miracles never cease? The Record hopes to be able to print the names of all Davie Re publicans who are opposed to let ting the people vote for their choice for County Accountimtand County Tax Collector. These offices are two of the most im portant offices in the county. If die voters have a sav-so about who their Sheriff, Register of Deeds and Clerk of Court should be, why not let them say who they sVwant to fill these two important offices. We have contacted lead ing Republicans and Democrats in various sections of the county, in cluding the County Commission ers, Sheriff, Deputies, Register of x Deeds, former County Commis sioners, etc., and nearly all of diem are in favor of letting the people elect the Accountant and Tax Collector, instead of having diem appointed by the County Commissioners. We would be glad to hear from the people of Davie County on this question. We feel sure that a great majority _ _ __ of the voters believe these officers^ these filthy places when children should be elected instead of ap pointed. Just as 'well let the Commissioners appoint your Sher- .iff, Register and Clerk. We be lieve the County Commissionns would be glad to get rid of this responsibUity. Let the voice of the people be heard. Liqaor Referendaai Proposed Senator George Penny, of Guil ford County, introduced a State wide liquor referehdum bill last Wednesday. It would let the people vote to oudaw liquor and everything but fermented wines in North Carolina. The referendum does not tamper with beer. It is now up to the 170 members of die (legislature as to whether they are afraid to let the people of this state vote on the question of pro hibition.

BEDS MAT HAVE A-BOMB WASHINGTON. — It took breath taking Bob Gros of California, to do what no diplomat or newsman so far has done regarding the A-bomb and Russia. He got a hint from So viet Ambassador Novikov that Rus sia has either the secret‘of the A-bomb or an adequate defense against it. . Gros, a California lecturer who . annually interviews more Washing ton ibigwigs in 24 hours than the average newsman does in one week, called on Ambassador Novikov the other day and at file end of his interview asked: "Do you have any thing you wish to say to the Ameri can people?” "Yes,” replied the ambassa dor. "Ton Americans should not rely too much on the A-bomb. Against France, Italy, Ger- ' many, yes. Bnt against Russia, No. Ton should not depend on it.” , “That,” Mt. Ambassador,” - sug gested Grbs, “sounds as if file Rus sians have developed a defense against the A-bomb.” “Yes,” replied Ambassador Novi kov, “(his and more. I do not wish to say anything furthter.” This significant statement ended the interview. * * *MORE WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT President Truman’s failure .to ap point more women to high office was tactfully laid before the Presi dent by a group of women. Mrs. La Felle Dickinson, presi dent of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, headed the delega- tion and told Mr. Truman quite frankly that women generally were disturbed because he hadn’t ap pointed as many women to govern ment jobs as Mr. Roosevelt had. She. reminded the President that the state department had built up a roster of 80 well-known American women capable of handling.impor tant government work and urged .him to bring the list up to date. Dr. Katherine' McHale of the As- sociaton of University Women, was - equally strong in urging appoint ment of- more women to 'government. Mr. Truman replied that he would like to appoint more women to jobs hut it was difficult to get the right ierson for the right job. "I watched President Roose- s ' velt work for a long time,” Tru man continued. : "I knew then, but didn’t realize fully, just how large ‘at portion of. the Presi dent’s tittle was taken In find ing the right people for the right job. I want yon to know that nobody makes my appoint ments for me. I make them on the basis of my own judgment.” Mrs. Dickinson strongly urged ap pointment of a woman to the exist ing vacancy on the Federal Com munications commission, but didn’t suggest any names. The women’s . club leader pointed out that women make up the overwhelming: major ity of daytime, radio listeners, yet. had no representation whatsoever on the FCC. Mrs. Dickinson also proposed that a woman be named assistant secre tary of state, because Cd the enor mous interest and great stake that the women of the country have in keeping the peace. Mr. Truman said the suggestion was interesting. • • • NO LAME-DUCK JOBS ' Here’s some bad news for Demo cratic congressmen and senators de feated in the last election who have been priming the White House for federal jobs: President Truman has adopted a new policy — no lame-duck appoint ments, barring exceptional cases. This is the story behind the hope of Sen. Jim Mead’s friends to land him a diplomatic post or some other •top job. Truman and Mead are old and close friends, fought shoulder to shoulder In .many senate battles and when Truman became vice presi dent in 1944, Mead Succeeded him as chairman of the war investigat ing committee. However, several times recently when White House advisers raised the question of put ting the able New Yorker some where'on the federal payroll, Tru- man replied with a flat “no.” “If the people of a state or a congressional district have decided that they don’t want a' man in Washington by voting him ont of. office, why should I go against their judgment, by- appointing him to some job as a reward for being defeated?” the President said. So far, none of Truman’s advisers has thought up a good answer.-. * • • MERRY-GO-ROUND . Civilian secretaries of state who for years have ridden in ordinary Pullmans are wondering how come the'military get the use of private railroad cars—in peacetime. Gen eral Marshall rode in a private car from Chicago to Washington after his army plane was forced down by bad Weather, whereas Henry L. Stimson, two times secretary of war and . once secretary of state, never got any higher than a drawing room. . -. . General Eisenhower has a yen for private cars.

I am especially rug ged but not rugged enough to stand a prolonged stay in this madhouse uponwhich you asked a report. It is, as indicated by the reverbera tions heard on Mars, a place of great confusion, disorder and strifC/ Ev- erybody seems fighting; about to fight or, just ending a fight. A vast number of languages are spoken but evidently only about nine words are really required for un derstanding in all tongues. These are “Liar!” “Take that back!” ‘Forward, march!” and "Surren der or rise. ...” ' \ . . . » , Most of my visit was limited to a place called the United States. They were evidently united at one time. This' is' a 'very strange land where- something called !.the radio is going all: die’ time,- It drowns out ev erything else,, and is, I think,- tied up in some way with the mint and the educational system. Vast sums of money are distributed every minute I to iieople of .all ages who pass oral examinations, using a contrivance called the microphone.»' These sums are staggering. For giying.the right name of a song that has been played in every home for half a century an adult is given U silver dollars minimum. T observed a woman from Butte who was paid $36 for stating that a .volcano was an erupting mountain and. not a Cuban musical instruinent. '» ’ For a child to win $350 in some thing called -a jackpot for stating how many colors there are to the keys on a piano is common, but [what bowled me over was that grown adults, some as old as 50 years, were paid even larger sums for telling an interrogator which were predominant, the Mack or the white keys. G r e a t symphony orchestras, statesmen, artists and civil leaders all put in time and effort to.proinote tonics, balms, ointments, eta,, from which'it is my deduction that the condition of the people is more alarming than I can well describe, as. for myself, I found it impossible to listen to' the radio a half hour without, being overcome: by -a- great feeling of compassion for the inhabi tants. I left with a conviction that I had been exposed to many plagues and that an immediate quaran tine would be wise upon my return to Mars.• '* It is my belief that a more accu rate' report on the place is im possible without a prolonged stay, and I do not feel that any Martian, tough as. they are, could stand it.

R obinson is so stimulating that for days other people look pretty drab. He’s been having a brief vaca tion in New York, after finish- ing “The Red House,” while waiting for N the script of his next picture to be prepared—as co-pro ducer he has a special interest in both of them. “Vacation’' meant seeing friends and relatives, look ing at paintings, giving interviews, 'doing guest shots on the radio— -everything but resting. “I have to EDWARD G. ROBINSON come to New Toiic about three times a year, to get re-charged, said he. Though his success on Uie stage was unquestioned, he’s not yearning to go back; to make bet- ter and better pictures will satis- iy him. — * — Katharine Hepburn, on the other hand, won’t give up the theater. But whatever she does on the stage, she says, must be in the nature of -a challenge, or something different from anything she’s attempted be fore. After making “Undercurrent,” with Robert Taylor, and five days later starting “The Sea of Grass,” with Spencer Tracy, she too t&aded ior a vacation, in her Connecticut home. Barbara Britton's theme song should be "I Lore a Parade” ; after she rode on a ..float, in the Tonraament of Roses proeessionhfer picture appeared In a- local paper, Taramonnt auditioned her, and-she was all set in the mOvies. Fcionk minor roles she worked O f to the lead opposite Ray MiIland In "Til We Meet Again” ; she’ll co-star with Randolph Scott in “Albuquerque.” * . Groucho Marx is afraid he may have a hit on his hands. He has a play, “The Middle Ages,” which he’d'like to do on the New York stage. But experts have read it and think it will have a long run. If it does, and he appears ■ in it, that will mean that he’ll have to be away from Holjywood indefinitely. He wrote it with Norman Krasna1 so he may just rest on his laurels as co-author. Mercedes McCambridge shocked everybody at a rehearsal of “The Adventures of the Thin Man” by announcing that she’s quitting radio, maybe forever. She’s decided to set tle in the. West Indies with her nov elist husband, William. Fifield, and John, her five-year-old son. It’s good news that Katina Paz- inou is to appear in another pic ture ; dropping her after her magnifi cent performance in “For Whom the Bell Tolls” was one of Holly-: wood’s glaring mistakes.

The bell was ringing now, steadily, a shriek, as though-.' sdimeone leaned heavily against it. The butler. King, came out of the back hallo a sour look on his face. But McCale was already wrenching open the door. A light went up in the hatt ;£is the startled manservant -pushed' a button. For a moment, no one seemed to be there. The dopr gaped, wide and black. Then, from around its edge, a bulky ob ject 'slid, dumped to its knees, lunged inward, then out flat. .

He barked an order to the butler, necessary action taking over his brain and body for the next few minutes. “Leave the .body just as it is,” he cautioned, adding, “a police re quirement,’’ for he saw a look of, dismay on;Miss Bigelow’^ face. She .was 'stiif sitting , numb and stricken, on' the carpet beside the body. The butler had his bands' pressed tighHy against his diaphragm, while perspiration, a prelude to certain nausea, stood out on his forehead. “Get. yourself some brandy, man,” McCale spoke briskly. "And get the police department on the telephone.:, ,Wait, a minute. Call Devonshire 1212—line 103—and ask for Donlevyt chief of homicide.” . . The old man moved- slowly. “Perhaps it ,-you can, sir—” hebegari. “No." Better you.” McCiale grasped Miss Bigelow’s elbow in a reassuring grip. “We have less than six minutes at the most," .he said, “before the depart ment, or at least a squad car, will be here, -Where can we have a. min ute to talk?

Miss Bigelow, I 'must ask you to tell me quickly what you saw from the window upstairs just before-the shot.” She closed her eyes 'and let a shuddering, breath escape her. lips. Her hands clasped and unclasped nervously. 'He thought she might faint. She opened her. eyes sudden ly, tense, staggered, but deter mined. “At first there was only Curt coming up the steps from the path that cuts' across irom Charles Street.” The old voice was pained and hushed. “I .knew it was he from away off. He always swag gered, sort of, and never wore .a hat. There was also a—a woman- coming along the outer, walk that 'comes over the hill from Park Street.” “A woman in green?”“Yes, in green.” . She looked frightened. “There was someonte else in a gray coat and hat coming along Beacon Street toward the A tall wide man seeking to climb, the Bigelow stairs. house. I couldn’t see very well. The person was almost directly under the window and I .was concentrat ing on—on Curt.” “On this side of the street?” “Yes.” x Whoever it was had crossed the street,, then, for the . figure had been on the opposite side when McCale looked. That someone must have been almost at the . door when the shot was fired? The murderer? “Man pr woman?” he snapped. “I—I couldn’t tell; I was watch ing Curt, I told you.” “But Uie hat You said the fig- dire had on a gray ..raincoat and a gray hat. Surely , you could recog nize the sex from the hat?”, ‘Tm sony — I kwas watching Curt.” “Yes. Goon.” “I just can’t remember what hap pened then,.

How inviting! Jesus had just been talking to the man once blind (John 9) who had seen the. temple door closed against him. It shut him out from, all the sacred traditions; of his people, but it turned him to Jesus, who presents himself in our lesson as “the door of the sheep.” •' . . !.'The boor of the Sheep (w .-7. 10 ), The preceding verses of chapter 10. are important, for they identify Jesus' as the true Shepherd. He speaks of his people as his sheep. Flocks were sometimes kept & the field at night as was the case on the night when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. But ordinarily they were brought into a sheepfold, where many flocks gathered for pro tection. A shepherd was on guard at the door. Thieves would climb the wall to Steal sheep, hut the true shep herds, when they came in the morn ing to lead forth their-flocks, en tered by the .door. .They called out their own flock by name. It is said that only sick sheep will follow- a stranger, which may ex plain why so many false isms tit our day appeal to the sick and lead-them away from the Good Shepherd.' - Do; you know his blessed voice? Have you responded to his call? Will you follow him? Decide .now. Consider the beautiful figure of the shepherd as the door of! the sheep- fold. When the sheep enter the fold to rest, he is the door. - When they, are ready to go out to feed in green pastures again, he is the door.. .. Note that they go in and out Be longing'to Christ is npt : bondage. If any man enter in by Christ, the Door, 'he is free to go in and ;out, to find pasture, to live for and to serve him, “The Door”—what a striking fig ure!' It is a means of entry, the only way in. ftrery door -has two sides and the side we are on de termines whether we are inside or outsider-saved or lost. Children oft, en sing: “One Door and only one, And yet its sides are M o- Inside and outside; On which side are you?” : Then -repeating the two first lines comes the direct testimony' and question, “I am on the'inside;/ • On which side are you?” II. The Keeper of the Sheep (w. 11-13). ' We think of sheep as peacefully grazing on the hillside—an idyllic picture in the summer sunshine. But there , were dangers to ,meet,. It is so with Christ’s sheep too, and then he is there to keep them. The wolves come Out as the shadows gather. They: cOme to kill and to scatter. Where then is the shepherd? If he is only a hireling, serving for what may “be in it” for-hnn, he wiU flee. Howjierfectly this; pictures relig ious leaders, who, in spite' of their swelling - words and ingratiating manners, desert the flock in the.hour of adversity. Fair-weather friends are they , who disappear when dark ness and danger, appear:- In the-darkest hour Jesus is near est at hand. He never fails. He has no fear, for has he-not tasted the bitter death of Cavalry’s tree for you and, me? He is . the Good- Shepherd. He gave his life for the sheep. Those who have put their trust in him shall never'be put to Shame.' m . The Saviour of tht Sheep (w. 14-18). . ■ / V . He laid down his life for the sheep.’ Ah, yes, it is all too true that evil men laid wicked hands on -him-and crucified him. Their guilt Is awful. But it is clear from Scripture'.that until the hour had. come for Jesus to be made sin for the redemption of man; they could not touch tiim-- (see Luke 4:29, 30; John ,8:59).;' When the time- came, Christ laid down his life in accord with “the de terminate counsel and ’ foreknowl edge of God” (Acts 2:23), He died for us, not aS a martyr to a’ cause, or the victim of sin accident or mis carriage of justice, but willingly, and-for the glory of God.: :YeS,- he died for us, but he also . |died for eveiy lost soul who win Cuiifs Apartment Yields No Clues , Curiously, die seemed relieved.

Jithm u I Scrambled Figures Plain-logic and dear-thinking are two delegates who should always i«gister at all management and,la bor conventions. They should be •ver present in all councils of pa triotic groups. Neither our business nor our labor leaders must be re sponsible tor a lock-out of truth and of the dignify belonging to facts and figures. Inasmuch as plain Amer icans'can reason, just so .win they see any inadequacies of thought demonstrated by any leaders. Most of - American labor wta pleased, I believe, when the-CIO adopted a resolution recently con demning Communist influence in its VTanks. I suspect the rank and file back home gave this action a round genuine applause. And aside from the intra-union politics which prompted the resolution, regardless of the doubtful political tinge of the the men who drafted it, my belief I* that the CIO unions are taking a .step in the right direction. It re mains to be seen what shall follow In future councils. In Tbe-Record At any rate, these unions have XMJt down on the record their resent ment and rejection of efforts of the Cbmmunists and “other political parties” to interfere with their.af fairs. Communists, they seem to im ply, are just ane*ier political party, but let us not forget what ideology is followed by the Communist line, whether in a party by that name or In other parties. There’s nothing American about their ideology nor ,,their long-range aims. It would seem the time has come tor our two major political parties to do more than merely disown the Communists who have infiltrated their own ranks and the ranks of "labor. Moreover, it might be a good time for the two major parties and lor our leaders of labor to say that political action groups have no business interfering with the affairs of political parties. Greater Threat Tlie extent to which Communist Ideology has penetrated gradually the councils of labor is no doubt much greater than labor itself iis aware. A prominent labor personal ity recently set down the profits of 1 industry for 1946/as $15,000,000,000, after taxes, and added that this rep resents a greater threat to the na tion than does Communism. Whatever industry's earnings will be for 1946, the figures will not- be high enough. The poor showing in the first nine months of the year, as seen in the stalled output of the automobile industry and in the fail ure of many industries to make any profit at ail, will not make large sums available for higher wages. The Profit Motive ' Poor industrial earnings, will not permit management to set aside fUnds tor expansion and for badly needed working capital. Neither will lagging production bring a prosperity level that will help pay our tremendous war debt. No production brings no profits and no wages. Americans dislike to see any groups discredit the profit motive. We like each man’s prerogative to make a profit', whether he belongs on the side of management and own ership^ or whether he is a wage earner. It is elementary economics ' that wage earners do not experience increased wages under conditions where there is no production. Sure ly the rank and file of . Americans . knew. this. We cannot believe that any loyal Americans would like foi industry to be constantly in the red But we know that the Communists would.

Not because an unruly monarch had abdicated. On that day the 79th Congress ad journed, and .its members, would soon sweep through the pre-election countryside—reporting to the “constituency.” Our Congressmen packed up to return home on that day, and it has been ours to vote /for them or against them. - Our founding fathers who decried the making of laws “without repre sentation,” could have compliment ed our wartime Congress. -Serving through a most trying period.at the very beginning of our ...reconstruc tion, after, courageously displaying a people’s will through the most de bilitating war in our history, the 79th Congress faced all manner of complicated problems. Deliberation Probably the 79th Congress did not please everybody. But at the'same time, when one surveys the record, it is apparent that this Congress has made some unusual history. Con gress accepted the United Nations charter; thus committing America to a much more effective part in world leadership. Thiir Congress demonstrated that it is not willing to allow our foreign policy; to ride the winds of fortune, that it will be ac tive though deliberate in helping build a peace. Deliberate. Tliafs • 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 best representation. Remember that when you hear the alarum: “Why doesn’t Congress do something?” No Rubber Stamp Remember too that political ex pediency makes deliberation neces sary, as Congress attempts to work out a pattern of hairmony with other departments. If some things were bungled by the 79th - Congress,, in many instances the bungling may be cnalked up to other branches of gov ernment. But this Congress did demonstrate that it was no “rubber stamp” Congress, and it made par liamentary IUstory in this respect. It was a people’s Congress.- It took definite steps in the direction of 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 IegiHation was passed, but much was done to prepare ground work for future budget-balancing legislation. Decadent Bureaucracy. A few of the spreading tentacles of bureaucracy were lopped off by Ihe 79th Congress, and it refused to pass other measures that would nurture the beast. . Congress re fused to put the National Housing Agency on a permanent basis, and it turned the control and operation of employment services back to the states. Major proposals tor federal aid to education'died In committees. In removing many of Uie 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 labor in time of peace. Long Uve our /Congress! May it ever be the peo ple’s representation. _ Inflate or Deflate? Infiation is one of those things you talk about when, you do. not have it. We have a mild, case of inflation now. We do not want it, but we are perhaps! less scared about it now than we were before it came.' Most Hf us do not mind adding to the spiral a IitUe bit, though we may mslike to see' other folks do so. We seem assured Uiat there is “turn •bout tor everybody” In the inflation Viral. Some features of our snarled up labor-management relations, with the . consequent paltry production and lower-income for strikers, would represent deflation of a sort. But we must know that when we,-push our wages up uid up, we simply must have production to justify these \increased costs. If we do not, we may expect prices to follow or even ■hoot ahead*, as the laws of econom ics begin to make .adjustments. Plain Economics Higher wages without increased production create a situation that bears some resemblance to strikes without production. Either one will cripple American industry, and this is a time when labbr cannot afford 'to contribute to industrial chaos. People the world over need goods desperately, even people with an in flation already well past our own. Tbe only answer is production! We must produce, produce, produce. Without production,-any wage .pre miums which labor asks and wins represent the direst sort of inflation and public liability: We have al ready approached the danger point. Now, without price control, it is easier to see plain economics in op eration. Labor costs represent most of Uie cost of our manufactured goods. Auy increased costs, as well as the costs Ofl ScarcitieS, will be passed directly to the people. Coal, For Example Suppose the nation’s coal supplies •re shut off. Bituminous coal pro vides 55% of our industrial energy, 92% of our electric power, and 65 % of our industrial power. No coal means no steel, and the shortage pressures then begin operating to force up prices !of everything we buy. Higher prices tor coal mean higher prices for steel. Steel is one of the .basic ingredients of thousands of things we require daily, and soon up goes the general level of prices for consumer goods and for. services as well.. Suppose the_miners win wage in creases. Their success is eyed by wage earners in varied other in dustries and crafts. Already the industrial unions have made top bill ing of a new drive for increased wages.' Up go prices again. That’s plain economics. .We like inflation for ourselves, when it is going our way, but gen erally we prefer'to deflate the other fellow. Itis time somebody thought of the Golden Rule. 'May I 'submit that production is the Golden Rule way. to steer ourselves out of this Jam and to keep the traditional American freedoms we so much cherish. ^HourWarBond Incestinent Is Yourinrestm eht in AmerZea * * V I VOUBBWTHfTOHB FOR MARCH AQtMMHRtNe.

G "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, re take,,exort with ail long snffe|lng and. doctrine. II Timothy 4:2. Timothy was a fine young preach er, and so Pant gave him some very wonderful and timely advice. No doubt the success 'of bis ministry as a soul winner depended largely upon the way be received Paul's advice, as Paul was not only older' and more exoerienced as a preach er of the World: but likewise in spired of God in alt hls writings Paul knew that Timothy would meet the adversary all along life’s journey who would endeavor to get him to compromise with the world, cool off, tone down, and do lots of things that would prevent the Gos pei having its influence over the souls ot mankind. Not only was that true of Timothy, or would he true along his mankind. Not only was that true of Timothy, or would be true along bis ministerial career, but it is likewise true today. Every tninisrer'faces the devil who wants to sidetrack him from the main line of real, absolute Gospel preaching, and cause him to substitute some. 'thing oise, which never wins lost souls to God, and with jWhich God is highly displeased. .How we need, as preachers of the Gospel, to preach the word! Preach the Bi ble as the absolute Word of God, knowing that thisonlv pleases God', though it certainly displeases the devil. Today onr young preachers, we are sorry to say, certainly don’t preach like the ministers of the Qospel used to, or the majority of them don’t. They are Sg modern. Ized, so educated to doubt and disbelieve tnnch of the Bible as the inspired Word of God, until they are spiritually^ powerless. Every sermon is so outlined until one of- tentimes wonders if it isn’t mostly human effort apart Irom1God. Take the outlines away from . the aver, age voting preacher today and he couldn’t "preacfaa lick.” . He wonld be "in the brash,,’ as we term it; and would flounder around and get nowhere'tn bis sermon. I sometimes wonder about out lining a sermon . anyhow. - Onr preachers years ago bad no out lines They prayed their messages down, went into the pulpit on .fire tor God, preached extemporaneous. Iy under Divine inspiration, and as a consequence men quaked and trembled under their preaching, be. came deeply and pungeotly convic ted of their sins and wickedness, went to. the .’’mourner’s' bench,” cried, prayed, confessed, agonized With God and then arose to their feet With a'shine on their faces, a blessed testimony from their hearts and lips, saying that 1 hey had found Jesusastheir Saviour.. Many of the converts shouted and praised God. and as a consequence revivals of Holy Ghost religion swept com munities and shook nations Todap our voung preachers come from our theological seminaries wit b jj|eir high degrees, their ere. dentials from high authorities, with thetfv.sermons either written out so they can read them, or wit.h them so outlined until thev have to keep their faces down toward their oof lioes, therefore can’t look: their; congregations straight in the face add; preach in . thunder tones the raigbty Word of God. MavbeGod is pleaded With some ontlines, ta t we doubt if He is in the majority of them. It he is, why is the; av erage young , preacher today so cold and lifeless tn his imessage, and so. powerless? It our t heological schools would lay the empbaais on prayer on fasting, on seeking the baptism w ithtbe Hplv G host,. that, they shoulder, on tue job. lay'ou criticising the Bible, or lay on s lot of pulpit ptannerisms,j and criticising fundamentalism,' and: oh the "degrees” that, thev claim are so essential, I believe thousands of our churches that are spiritually dead could be resurrected to life a. gain. Amen, aDd amen. .. .Paul said to Timothy, "Preach the word.” He didn’t advise him to "soft pedal’-’ and stigarcoat God’s Word so it would be moie palata ble, but give it straight. from the He toid him to be right not hanging, aiuund picture shows, ball games, swim, ming pools, playhouses, "shindigs” cord parties'and woridly places of amusement, then go into the'pulpit with a little essay, or social mes sage, to please the carnal hearts mihds,- souls and spirits of the peo pie, and tickle their ears, get their money, receive their bouquets, and let tbelr souts gc to bell. ' No. tiev ef! He said, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort . with all long-suffering aUd doctrine ” Don’t be a coward; don’t draw back when it is necessary to reprove the wick ed and nngodly, or fa rebuke them, or to exhort them faithful!”' and patiently. , Then he told Titnothv that “ the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap, to themselves teachers, having itch ing ears; aod tbey shall turn away their ears from the truth; and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all. things,; endure afflic tions, do the work of an evangelist, make fuil proof of thy ministry ’ Snrely we are now in the, days the ApostlcRanI told Timothy were coming- Never have we ,een a time when people want their ears tickled so much as they ,do today rather than have their guilty hearts, sonls and consciences disturbed.and searched. As a consequence they want teachers, preachers, who' will ease them in Ifaeir-- Carnality,' sin and wickedness, and let them go on serving the deyil. They will pay such teachers and :preachers, well ior their flowery se'rmonettcs and lovely outlines, but wtU' r'aject many of those who breach a sound genuine Gospel, regardless ;ot - who t pleases or ,displeases. However, when carnal and!,un. got'ly church members kick preach the word,’ ’ but preac’i it ik love and grace, and . under the anointing of the Holy spirit. When some chnrch boss . sits down on your God-given meSsag^. and Vpn your pastorate, of . evangelism, "preach .the word.” , When -some stingy, stilish, “tight wad” refuses to support, you, and;,closes [■ his: pocketbodk against VotiV- ZVpreach the word.” 'Stick ;o the old!

But don’t fail to ’’preach the word ” If- Sister Powderpuff j explodes, or Sister Butterfly flies away, holding to h e r manv colors, just keep on preaching the word? Such worldly folks are going to hell anyhow, and your preaching, under Divine unction, certainlv won’t make it any worse,- bpt may make it much better. You ! should preach the word" straight and clean, without fear or favor, hew. ing to the straight Gospel line, lot ting the chips'fall where they may. God will take cafe of the chip?, take care of the result. You must obev God. He savs . His Word won't return void: When one dis grnntled church member quits, God will send somebody else to take bis placb We find this to he so. I remember a matt who used to write! me encouraging , letters and send offerings, but finally soured on me because I wrote on holiness. He wanted me to quit. I told him I would quit when- God changes His holy Word, which has1 never taken place yet.- Yes,' he soured on .me, on holiness, saying he didn’t beiiave in it. Poor man.

V VNEAST OVER FUGHTS WASHINGTON.—The splurge of recent air crashes is causing con siderable worry to the secret service agents responsible for the life of the President. The secret service is afraid the day may come when the President’s special plane, “The Sacred Cow,” also may encounter bad weather or mechanical trouble. They also know something about the President’s propensity for taking off, rain or shine, and it keeps them awake at nights ithinking about it When he wants Itogo some place, he simply goes. Result is that a quiet cam paign is under way inside the secret service to persuade the President to abandon air travel ■ generally. -They want him to , take the train—.as President I Roosevelt did on almost all oc- I casions. . , ' FDR enjoyed train trajfel. It rest ed him- and gave' him. SI chance to •get caught up with his correspondence. Truman, however, loves the speed of an airplane. He can get to Kansas City in four hours where as it would take him two nights and a day by train. The secret service has never re covered from the scare it received on Christmas, 1945, when Mr. Truman flew home to Independ ence in weather that had grounded ‘all commercial airlines. However, the President is a hard, man to persuade, and his secret service bodyguards are not any too opti mistic about the chances of keeping him grounded.• • • AIR CRASHES Despite the recent series of air crashes, fact remains that commer cial air lines hung up twice as good a safety record in 1946 as in 1945. Although the total number of air craft fatalities increased, it is im portant to recall that the airlines flew twice as many passenger miles in ’46 . This cut the fatality rate in half. Another factor most people over look is that the Civil Aeronautics au thority, which regulates commercial flying, is operating in the face of a pineh-penny congressional appropri ation. Despite the small appropri ation, CAA worked out a bad-weath er instrument-landing system which has now been adopted by every country, including the Russians. » » ■♦ ARMT EDUCATION Public opinion expert George Gal lup proved to the last decimal point that more men wguld enlist in the army and navy if military authori ties had “a system whereby educa tional training in the seriyee would coimt toward high school or college diplomas.” ' TTie army’s information and edu cation branch was glad to hear that they should educate servicemen, but they want to know one thing: Who’s going to educate Dr. Gallup? What he apparently doesn’t know is that the United States Armed Forces ,institute makes every con- "" eeivable type of study course avail able to any soldier, sailor, marine or coastgiiardsman who wants it. More than 1,900,000 men al ready have acquired schooling via VSAFI. Also, they’ve got credit for it. In the last year alone, 20,000 servicemen re ceived high school diplomas via the army. The$e diplomas and USAFI’s college courses are accepted for credit by almost every school in the.country. Gallup goes on to make the weird statement that- .army authorities question the idea of the army’s going into the business of general education. Clearly, none of Gallup’s score- keepers asked the secretary of war or power-packed Gen. “Buck” Lan- ham, head of the army’s information and education branch, about this. They not only don’t question it, but they do it; sending teachers and books and quizzes and lessons by the thousands all over the world. BACKSTAGE NAVT LOBBT White House Insiders report that y brain truster Clark Clifford is having a tough time drafting an army-navy merger bill for congress ttiat will both carry out the President’s ideas and not offend the. brass hats. President Truman wants it clearly stated in theTiill that there will be a secretary of national defense, with full cabinet rank, and three under secretaries with sub-cabinet rank, representing tiie army, navy and air forces.' The latter, however, is not at all what the brass hats1 want They want full cabinet rank for each arm of the service—in other words- three new cabinet members.

JESUS SUMS UP HIS CLAIMS LESSON TEXT—Jonn i2:i*:}S.MEMORY SELECTION—And I. if I to Ufted up from -the earth, will draw au men unto g;e.—John 12:32. . The last week of our Lord’s min istry on earth comes before us to day as we consider two events—one of which oceurredon Sunday and the other on Tuesday. One sees here, the attitude of men towaid Christ, of God toward men, of the Father toward-the Son, and the majestic drawing power of the Saviour. I. Believing Men Honor Christ (vv. 12-id>. .God says, “ Him that offereth praise- glorifieth me” (Ps. 50 :23); and the believer recognizes that “praise is comely for the.' upright" (Ps. 33:1). - Jesus is entirely worthy of the praise , of every heart and voice. .Presenting hiihself as their Mes siah, Jesus received the enthusiastic acclaim of his disciples and friends, who were probably joined by others drawn by .the'excitement.■. The Pharisees did not join in (see Luke 19:39, 40 ), nor did the city, not even knowing who he was (Matt. 21:10, 11). So it is today; some Iove and praise him, some hate him, others just ignore him. Of which class are' you?, He gave Jerusalem and the na tion a -final opportunity to receive him. It was not yet-too'late, but It was their lastchance. Such a., time domes' in the life of every one -of us. They rejected him. Do we? But even, though somedid !eject, let us not forget that there were those who Shouted, “Hosanna’’; who cast their garments down before.him and waved palms of victory and joy.. Thank God for'their holy enthusi asm. Pray Gad that we may have a little more of it. II. God Honors Men Hho Serve Christ (vy, 20-26 ). : 1 It is good to note that ^whatever prompted the coming of the Greeks, they wanted to see Jesus. A man has progressed far on the road to blessing when he'makes known his desire to see. Jesus.-Com- irig to him- means coming to the One who has the words of .eternal life-• Note that the disciples were wise enough to bring the men to. Jesus. The true'fiinction of every Christian worker is to bring men to him. The reply of . our Lord to the Greeks, a^d to the disciples who brought them to him, seems a bit singular at first glance. Did he not wish to receive them? They had probably come to see the. great !religious leader, the King of the Jews —why did he talk about death? The words of our Lord are clear. Men do not need an example, a lead er, a teacher; they need a Saviour. It is as a sacrifice for sin that Christ will, draw all men unto himself. m . The Father Glorifies the Son (W: 27-30); The awful blackness of the bur den of the world’s sins which he was to bear pressed down upon our Lord in an agony of soul beyond our ability to understand. But even his troubled soul ,did not; turn from the hour of death for us. The question of verse 27 is essen tially this: “Should.I ask the Father to deliver me from this hour? No, I came to be man's Saviour.” He did not look away, nor wish to turn back. He knew why he had come, and he was faithful even to death (Phil; 2:8 :'Heb. 2:9). He had'only one desire—thatthe name of God the Father should be glorified (v. 28). Do we who bear his holy name follow in his foot steps? Do we have an eye single to his glory—or do we seek our own? Then came the voice from heaven; the 'Father had glorified-his own name in the Son, and would do it again—yes, again and again. ; JesUs knew the Father would do it, he did not need any assurance (v. 30 ), but for the sake of the peo ple, the. witness was given. Notice the reaction ' of the listeners—tome recognized that a heavenly mes sage-had been given; others had only heard, some .thunder. / May God give'us' grace to hear his voice ' when he- speaks, and not consider it . merely the" rolling oi ,SomedeepvpicelOfthunder! - IV. The Son Draws AU Men to HimseU (w . 31, 32). - Because Christ Was lifted up on the cross and died, there is victory over sin and death, .declared by his resurrection and ascension to the Father. . ' SataiL is still at liberty in the world, but be is defeated (John 16: 11).'- Death still comes, but the sting is goiie-for the Christian (I Cor. 15: 55-57). The world is still fighting our Lord, but he is drawing men. to' himself-here and there throughout the'world. , :One'day he will come as King of kings and Lord of lords, to declare in its. finality the victory which has already been won. We should be reminded anew that it to, Christ the 'Saviour who will draw men if we will'only exalt him in our preaching and teaching. Let us. do It!

She wouldn’t be of any help. He went quickly through an ornate bedroom which had a fabulous connecting bath of chrdmium and glass. There were two closets of expansive linen and haberdashery. He had never seen so many shirts, ties, shoes, socks, and collars.oiit- side a department store. And lie went through everything. But there wasn’t a single thing, to give him a lead, to ,use as evi dence—not a letterj a receipt,,a bill, —not even a stray address. ;,The murdered man had played it pretty: smart and close to the-ground. ■ Disgruntled, he went back' into the living room-and out the:-front door. ', It was nine-fifteen when the buzzer in McCale’s outer, office •-? an nounced-, a-: late caller. MCCale1 laughed, “How are yqu, Bart?” Donlevy Trades /* Some Knowledge Viiif “Ready to take you oyer .Jhe hurdles for sneaking ,out on myfiiis afternoon.” Donlevy’s- smileRbei lied his growl. . ' • McCale smiled back at him' steadily. He liked the man. He had the look of careful grooming not often associated with the police. You would place him at about for ty; a large man, bulking powerful and tall against the heavy door. He was of the new school of officers so widely heralded but often ridiculed —college bred, scientifically trained and carefully chosen. ‘Tm not really sore,” he began. “I only wondered why you took a powder when you and Adelaide Bigelow were practically the only eye witnesses to this ghastly busi ness. It dawned on me very soon when I found no keys on the corpse that you’d gone to Vallain- ' court’s apartment to steal a march on me. Was that nice?” He raised an eyebrow facetiously. “Not nice, but necessary from my point of view. I’ve got second look before—after your squad has fine-toothed a place—and there’s never been a hairpin left for us fel lows.” ' ^ “What exactly did you find from being first this time?”“Nary a clue. The place was as clean as a bone. Beyond getting a good idea , of what the . lad, who lived there was like;, there Wasn’t- a false whisker for my trouble.”*’ , “The setup he had was quite re vealing, wasn’t it? Pure Hollywood . —half De Mille, half- Dorothy Drap er. Very suggestive. . Is that all you have found?” ' - ‘-‘I found a woman.” McCale never, felt it -accom plished anything to hold out -on Don levy. It only promoted misunder standing and ill. feeling. It was much better to get the evidence first. That was alL He watched the quick interest flash across Donlevy’s eyes before he controlled it, before he said casu ally, “I would call that a clue, Duke.” , “Well ?*L he questioned.“Shari Lynn, the chanteuse, at present of the Latin Quartet-and The Abbey.” . “Umm—I’ve heard of her.” ; McCale went on, then, to tell of his encounter with the night club singdr. He told.it aU, what she had said, how she had looked, bringing the complete picture before Don- levy in a manner that insured the detective of every detail. “You think then,” the lieutenant .queried when at last McCale was Silent, “ that there was an old af fair. between them? Something in your telling it makes me feel you are; cotjvinced that it was not too recent—something flaring up again after a iTgng time.” McCale nodded. He closed his eyes a mdment,. then opened one, as--if the other still shuttered an •inner thought,. “I’m sure of it,” he said. 'TirfiSure you’ll find that they may. even have been man and wife at one time—that they have never been out. Cf touch with each other for long.” *'Donlqyy digested this. “Then?” “Oh ,sure, Lynn was back there afihbjEK^g letters of hers that Val- laincourt may have kept. I don’t think there were any there, how ever. There-wasn’t-even a stray phone number chalked oh the bathroom wall, if you get what I mean.” “Quite. It was exactly as if the place had been cleaned of every thing by the tidy himself. Kind of disappointing, what? Because from eyerything we know, it doesn’t siem as though that kind of gent Would ever destroy a compromising missive of any kind whatever.” “Yoii were a: fool, to come directly here.” ; :- -is. 't-' -1 * -- ! “Trust- There is the possibility of asafe^deposit box at some bank.' . "That’s been checked. He had a small'balance at a downtown bank but&o box of any kind.” _ JStcCale hunched himself over his ifjiss for a minute, musing. . '“It becomes very confusing, then. For he must have got rid of every thing last night or today. Before' —he stared unwinkingly at the rim of his glass—“just before he went to his\death.” , * A Ipng minute went by, while the fire crackled merrily in the grate— while each one of the three Giought his own thoughts about this conjec ture.'- It' was Donlevy who finally shrugged it away with a sour Idol Dtike McCale paused in front of the big man, Donlevy. The gray haired police inspector looked up at him and said, "I suppose in re turn for your information* you want to be brought up to date.” “That’s only - fair,” McCale smiled. Donlevy had never once let him down- in a matter* of this kind- though he covered it always with aou air of assumed ill grace. Suspicion Settles OhVeronica “Here it is, then, for what it’s worth,” he said. “There was, in the Bigelow house at the time of the murder, besides AldeIaide Bige low and yourself, the cook, an up stairs maid, and the butler, Kini The cook was preparing dinner The maid, Kitty Shane, wast hang ing. around the kitchen. They're out, obviously. No -motive, no opportunity. King was fixing a tray of hors d’oeuvres for the usual cocktail.hour..He's.out for the same reason. None of them saw or heard ft thing until the prolonged ringing a| the bell.’” “About five minutes after the cruising car got there, I arrived. It -wag - then about twenty minutes since. Vallaincourt had beep shot. ShoItIy- after that, the* family be gan to wander‘in and I questioned Giem in the order of their appear- 'ancfe.7 Sybil and Stephen, her son, came in together. She said she had walked from the church across the Gardens, stopping at Shackley’s drugstore for cigarettes. She had chatted a few minutes with the clerk, whom she knew. > She met Stephen as she came out of the store. He had been wandering along Charles street, just killing time, he said., Lijses to walki in the rain— that sortTrf thing.” -■ VTherffs a jangled -lad for you,” McCale waggled a finger. “Neu- roGc. Worried about his wife. Was probably out-hunting her up,wher ever she was.’’ I “Sybil is no calm, strong pioneer woman either. Collapsed like a bal loon at the news. You’d think Val- laincourt was her own chee-ild to hear her rave.” “To get on with it, the Garboish Karen is quite another GckeL : As masklike and cold as the Snow Queen. Concerned, but unruffled, if you know what I mean. She turned a shade whiter, if that’s possible, but I got -the distinct impression she’d only walk around ,the corpse and go on her way. A bit too con-- trolled. . .- - “Victoria was next. Sh^Tilew in with a book under her arm. Had been- browsing around Gie Pubhc Library—walked home.£ McCale pursed-his '-lips. “I Im agine she screamed once,!made an inappropriate remark and had a long hooker of. whisky on. it,” " • “You are very adroit.” I... . “I’ve an unusual mind, I guess;" said McCale facetiously. “What crack did she make?’.’ v- v|- “She looked down at the corpse in a kind of -mixture of fright and sheer excitement and said, ‘Then someOne did have the nerve’." McCale whisUed. Donlevy turned a page. “Chris topher Storm—the guy that didn’t get the girl—or almost didn’t, what? He probably will now. He swears that he was walking back and forth along the lower Common path, hoping to intercept Veronica on her way home if she should come that way. She didn’t shoW, so he. came on up to the house. There’s a funny thing, Duke, them all breaking up in onesies after the wedding rehearsal. Oh, well.' We conie now to Veronica, the bride. "Veronica drove lip in a cab—the last to arrive. She Was strangely excited, I thought. She’d been doing some last minute shopping, saw it was getting late and got a cab at the comer of Boylston and Tre- mont.” He hesitated, ". . , she said.” He let his last two wo: hang in the air. . . A. devastating conversational abyss yawned, for McCale made no reply. Minutes Gcked away. When he did speak, it-was quietly.. “She is the obvious suspect, of course, Bart. The uccusaGon of Shari Lynn; the fact that both Miss Bigelow and I saw a girl in green running away from the scene di rectly after the murder. Too bad she should have picked the corner of Boylston-and Tremont street to get- her cab. There are very few shops there and, as you have noted, the path rynning- from the gate oppo site the Bigelow house, over the hill by the cannon, ends at that precise point. ••Hardly coincidence." -McCale- shrugged: "What about the weapon?" - "She must haveGujewn it away.” • Then the area .m. Which fo seatch for it is small. A vwoman -cannot throw too far.— ■ T know that." A thwarted look came- over Donlevys craggy face. -We ve had a special squad dgint; ing it for three hours. So far. not a sign of-it. We ve actually used floodlights and turned up every fall- en Jeaf. emptied every ash barrel in the park, with no luck. " • Where Is the Murder Gun? "That. then, for the moment, is that ”■ Funny, but. McCale's mind seemed -relieved. -i The case, 'was dropped momen tarily while they talked of pleasant er things. It was. nearly twelve when Donlevy stood up to go. • "I rather thought." he 'Said ats the door, -that you were retained by the old lady Bigelow to'get* at the truth. Now. - I iA sure, yqurre hired to protect the girl." .He fneit to put it over with a . slow smile.* - "Nothmg7Of -the sort, has $een suggested to me. I can* assure you."

DonleyytS footsteps had hardly- died -on the stairs when. McCale, standing be fore the dying fire, spoke. “I held out on the torn bit of letter.” “So I see, chief. You don’t think the girl in green was the Veronica dame, then?”“Maybe.” There'was a silence for a min ute, then Rocky, said,. “They .have not found .the rod.” "No.” McCale’s eyes lighted up as he ' looked - quizzically at* his friend and employee.

My Notion* You remember the good old days when men were men and the re stanrants served a fourth of a thick pie for five cents? Ah, those days have gone forever. Now they cut the pie into eight pieces and its so thin that its pathetic. Jnst a lit. tie tid-bit. Yon remember the good old days when they served a ‘ square meal” for twenty.five cent, and after yon bad eaten you had a stomach full of satisfaction. Piping hot coffee, and two and three cups if yon wanted it. You remember the good old days when men “ got religion” and the whole course of their lives were changed, and drunkards becatneue spectable citizens. Yon remember the good old days when young folks got married and promised to love and protect each other until death did them part and they lived np to their promise. 1 Shocks, I have to pinch myself at times to see if I am dreaming. We are so far removed from those days that they seem to be only a dream —J. W- Clay, in Winston- Salem Journal.
