I’m a pilgrim in the valley
With God's Spirit as my guide,
And I’m trusting Him to lead me
Safely to the other side,
Where I’ll dwell in peace forever
In a mansion fair and grand.
There to slug and shout His
praises
With the happy angel band.
Chorns
I’m a pilgrim in the valley
As I travel here below,
Looking uo to Heaven’s portals
Where the sainty people go,
Walking in the steps of Jesus
On life’s straight and narrow
- way,
Praving, hoping, as I journey.
For the homeland some swset
day.
I’m a pilgrim in the valley
Where so many souls are lost,
Groping on a downward journey,
Thinking not to count the cost;
So I’m poiotinx them to Calv’ry
For redemption full and (ree,
Through the precious blood of
Tesus
That was shed for yon and me.
I’m a pilgrim in the valley
Where the sick and suffering
stay,
And I’m telling them of Jesus
Who will heal them if they pray.
And will lead them as a shepherd
By the waters bright and still,
And along the narrow pathway
Where they’ll land on Zion’s bill.

A Califorian. accused of bigamy,
is charged with having acquired
eight wives, three of them in the
last five weeks. Maybe be thinks
he’s set-a marrying record of some
sort, but just the other dav we
read that Dutch government forces
in fava had “recovered” fonr truck
loads of wives belonging to an In.
donesian sultan.
The report faiUd to state how
many wives there are to each truck
load, and how many remained in
the sultan’s little love nest after
the caravan of fugitive wives * had
wandered off.
And while these detailed statis
tics are missing, it is plain never
theless that the Californian, instead
of breaking a record, is something
of a piker when it comes to ac
cumulating spouses.—Ex.

The Wallace for President move.

come of next year’s presidential
elections, Somecompeteot obser.
vers have not been convinced that
not even a third party movement
headed by Wallace would atiract
enough voters to defeat the Demo
cratic ticket. However, the Wal
lace movement at least has already
split the Democratic party in Cali,
fornia.
Recently, it will be recalled' a
group of California Democrats
headed by Robert Kennedy, held a
rally and launched an ail-out cam
paign fot the nomination of the
former vice president and cabinet
officer. \The move was followed by
an extraordinary meeting of the
California Democratic state com
mittee whose 600 members were re
presented either in person or by
proxy.
The regular organization, as re
presented by the committee, em
re;
President “splinter" movement,
it- confidence in President Tru
man. and “wholeheartedly” in
dorsed the principle of aiding dis.
tressed nations, especially those
“forced to adopt political ideolo
gies because of economic or armed
aggression.”
In this declaration the commit
tee scrapped portions of a propos
ed policy statement issued by its
chairman, James Roosevelt, on
June 3, which attacked the “Tru
man doctrine ”
It is about as certain as anything
In politics can be that Wallace’s
name will be before the Democra
tic national convention next year
and that Democrats from at least
several strategic states which have
large electoral votes will battle to
the end tov their leader. After Mr.
Truman has been nominated, the
Wallace folio wars will probably
bold a 'rump” convention and no
minate him on au independent
ticket.
Iu order to insure the defeat of
Mr. Truman and the election of a
Republican President, it would not
be necessary that Wallace receive
heavy votes in all states. Such an
outcome couli easily result from
splits in the Democratic party
ranks in a very few states having
large electoral votes and in which
the popular voting strength is
nearly evenly divided —Charlotte

There is a healthy—and appar.
ently world wide—ngitation at this
time for increased productivity of
individual workers, for a return to
the old-fashioned idea that a day’s
pay calls for an honest day’s work.
Even labor leaders are beginning
to urge their members to produce
more, pointing out that standards
of living rise and fall with pro
duction.
This is such a fundamental
truth that it is surprising it has be
stressed at all, but for many years
now people have been ied to be
lieve that the world owes them a
living, and that if they don’t feel
like working for it, a benevolent
government will provide.
We are just now beginning 10 re*
bound from that idea,' A govern
ment can give to the people only
that which it takes awav'.'rom
them,' and there always comes a
point where it can take no more.
This point has been reached in
most European and Asiatic coun.
tries, and we are approaching it
here.—Statesville Daily.
Now is the time to sub

Herbert Hoover is the latest A-
merican statesman to propose that
the rest of the world be organized
without Rossia if that country per.
sluts in obstructing the peace and
In her refusal to aid world restora
tion.
After giving one of the best de.
fiuitions of communism is complete
disloyoity to all ideals of tree na
tions”—Mr. Hoover said he found
some encouragement in the must
ering of world opinion against Rus-
sian policies.
We should, he said, take advan-
take advantage of this growth of
opinion against Russian obstruc
tionism and make peace with Ja
pan whether Russia likes it or not.
We should then, it Russia refused
to coperate in the Foreign Minis
ters’ conference in November, in
sist that a condition of further A
merican aid to Western Europe be
that three western zones of Ger
manv be combined, and that we
thou make peace with this part of
Germany.
That process would effectively
include Russia from the organize
tion of all the world except her
own satellites, and she would find
herself in a position of most unen
viable isolation.
The growth of world public
opinion is already forcing Russia
into that kind of isolation. How
ever much she may threaten and
bluster and intrigue, she will find
eventually than an aroused world
public opiniod is a force with spiri
tual reserves that are beyond the
reach ,of communistic materialism,
regardless of how many armored
divisions it may have.
Hitler and Mussolini bad to learn
that lesson. The former invented
blitzkrieg, with which he boasted
that he would conquerer the world.
For a time it seemed irresistible;
but the moral force of world opin
ion soon created a co operative
material force before which the
vaunted panzer divisions crumbled
like chocolate soldiers
The same moral force of world
public opinion is now growing day
by day, and as it waxes, what Mr.
Hoover calls the .Russian “instru.
ment of ideologieal penetration” is
growing correspondingly weaker.
We have seen it on the wane in
France and Italy, where the cabi
nets have been purged of Com
munists and we have seen a grow
ing resistance to it In the Low
Countries and in Austria.
The world communist movement
attempting to destroy the existing
order of western civilization, can be
driven steadily behind the Iron
Curtain if we do not relax our ef
forts to keep world opinion alive,
vital, and growing, and if we can
be assured of co-operation in or
ganization the rest can be assured
of co operation in accordance with
the Marshall plan or something
operating on the same principle.
Without that co-operation, as
Mr Hoover warns, the United
States may be forced into some
sort of isolationism. To maintion
such a position we should have to
be armed to the teeth and just and
would be forced to rely on our own
resources and just wast until the
rest of the western world w2s readv
to join us In maintaining our civi
lization against the communist
ch llenge.
That wo.uld be both expensive
and dangerous —more so than any
number of Marshall plans. Since,
therelore, we have a growing
world opinion on our side, we
should not allow it to die but
should foster it in every possible
way.
' It is barely possible that such an
alignment might win some co op.

Tbe following artieles from the
Minneapolis “ Morning Tribune” is
just as applicable here as in any
part of the country:
Heavy drinking causes or helps
cause more than a third of all ac
cideutal deaths in Hennepin Coun
ty—not only In auto crashes, bnt
also in fights, shooting, tumbles
and in just plain crossing the street
while drunk.
Goodwin Toss, county toxicolo
gist and chemist, reported this fact
in the authoritative Quarterly
Journal of Studies on Alcohol.
Different people, Joss said Wed
nesday, vary in the amount of al
cohol they can consume before be
coming menances t 0 themselves
and others. Bet, if they have e-
nough drinks, they all reach that
point sooner or later.
The National SafetyCoiinciland
tbe American Medical Association
say that a man is intoxicated if be
has 15 one-hnndredths of a per
cent of alcohol in his blood, and
this i- widely accepted as a legal
definition.
Joss, basing his results on blood
tests of 94 accident victims during
a 12-months period, reported that
there was at leaht tbis amount of
alcohol—or just a shade less—in
the blocd of 38 pet cent of the vic
tims Of these;
Twelve were ptdestriaus hit bv
automobiles or streetcars.
Eight died of chronic alcoholism
plus heart disease.
Four were driving or riding in
cars involved in accidents.
Four were involved in other
types of accidents—among them, a
fatal fall from a hotel balconv.
Three were found dead ift fires—
including a man and wife burned
to death in tbeir home after adrink
bout.
Two had taken part in quarrels
or fights, one of them a stabbing
in a tavern.
Two were involved in fatal shoot
ings.
The Minneapolis and Hennepin
County results, Joss pointed out,
check with results of a similar
study made in New York City.
loss writes that presence of al
cohol in the blood stream of about
.15 per eent .results in “unstable
disturbances of various faculties
and inco-ordination resulting in a
staggering gait.”
“This is true,” h e asserts,
"whether a person is a regular
drinker or at# abstainer, male or
female, youug or old, robust or
sickly.
“Although the occasional drink,
er beeomes intoxicated much last
er, the regular drluker will con
sume a sufficient amount until bis
blood contains the same amount of
alcohol as the occasional drinker’s,’’

Wage and salary workers are
earning retirement and survivor’s
benefit right under tbe old-age aud
survivors insurance program of the
Social Security Administration.
Do yon know of any former
workers in commerce or industry
fields of employment covered by
the Social Security Act—who ate
now 65 years of age or older and
who are now working? If von do,
tell them—
That they may be eligible for
old-age. and survivors insurance
monthly cash benefits, if they ap
ply for them at tbe social security
office.
That monthly cash benefits are
payable to aged Insured workers
for any month in- which thev earn
$14.99 or less In jobs covered by
the Social Security Act. Thatbene
fits are payable only when claims
are payable retroactively only for
three months prior to application,
and that any delay beyond that
time after retirement will result in
loss of benefits.
Do you know any dependent sur
vivors of former wage or salary
earners in' commerce or industry
who have died since December 31,
1939? If you so tell them—
That they should visit or com
municate with the Winston-Salem
office of tbe Social Security Ad
ministration, located in Room 437,
Nissen Building, to see whether
they are eligible for old-age and
survivors insurance benefits.
That it is possible for them to be
eligibie is important, to avoid loss
of any benefits they might qualify
for.
That survivor's montly benefits
are payable retroactively tor only
three months prior to application,
so that any delay beyond that time
after tbe death of the breadwinner
may result in loss of benefits that
have been earned for tbe'm.
AND FINALLY—do you know
that, if YOU are 65 years of age
or older. YOU should visit the
Winston-Salem office of the Social
Security Administration to disc.>ss
the advisability of filing a claim for
benofits, whether or not you intend
to retire at once? YOU SHOULD!

MEMORY SELECTION—Better Is a Uttle
with righteousness than great revenues
without right.—Proverbs 16:8.

By WILLIAM CULBERTSON. D. D.
Of The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.
AS BELIEVERS in Christ we are
responsible not only for the
way we earn our living, but for the
way we spend w hat we earn.
Of course we m ust earn our living
honestly, but if we spend foolishly
that which we have earned,, we
shall have dissipated m uch of the
effect of our exam ple in earning.
Possessions are a tru st from
God, and we shall have to render
' an account of our stewardship.
Just because we have given a
certain percentage of our income to
Christian causes is no reason to
think we shall m eet with divine
approbation with regard to our
stewardship. If we give a tithe,
well and good, but what about the
other nine-tenths? Is God pleased
with our stewardship there?
I. The Vanity of W ealth (Eccles.
5:10, 11).
IN ANY study of wealth, it seem s
necessary to begin with an un
derstanding of its lim itations. We
live in a world in which m en fre
quently lay great im portance on
possessions, and indeed, there are
m any things which wealth can pur
chase. On the other hand, there are
some things that money cannot
buy. And further, we should recog
nize that our possessions are not
eternal, that they m ay suddenly
fade away.
The passage here rem inds us of
the fact that wealth for wealth’s
sake is bound to be a disappoint
m ent. The m an who loves silver
shall not be satisfied with silver,
any m ore than the m an who loves
pleasure shall be satisfied with
pleasure. Augustine was right
when he said that m an could be
satisfied with no less than God
himself.
• Notice how accurately the picture
is drawn. If we have increased
wealth, we have increased responsi
bility (v. 11). That fact is as un
alterable as the m ost rigid law we
know. The only advantage is, as the
Preacher expresses it, the behold
ing of goods with the eye—not a
very great advantage after all.
II. The Proper Accumulation of
W ealth (Prov.' 16:8).
IT IS just as true qs when Solo
mon wrote it, that “B etter is a
little, with righteousness, than
great revenues with injustice.”
This statem ent needs no argu
m ent, needs no proof. If we would
have the honor of m en, self-respect,
and the blessing of God, there is no
alternative.
III. The Im proper Accumulation
of W ealth (Jam es 5:1-6).
r P H E apostle Jam es speaks of a
-J- condition that will obtain in the
last days (v. 3). There are m any
evidences that the condition he de
scribes has had altogether too
m any fulfillments in recent history.
Jam es excoriates the rich who
have defrauded 1#ieir employees in
order that they m ight fare sump
tuously and live riotously. These un
scrupulous rich have taken advan
tage because they were not resisted
(v. 6). Such wealth is corrupted.
Notice once again that the re
sult of their sin will rise to break
them . It is a serious thing to
trifle with sin, to eat the bread of
iniquity. God has no patience with
injustice in social relationships.
Sooner or later judgm ent will
come.
IV. The Proper Use of W ealth
(Prov. 11:24-27).
T IBERALITY should character-
-J-' ize the child of God. It is true
that the Bible condemns the atti
tude of im prudence, yet it also con
dem ns the attitude of the m iser. To
withhold m ore than is m eet, also
tends to want.
How blessedly true it is that there
is a recom pense to giving. Here we
read that the one who w aters shall
him self be w atered. Our Lord af
firmed the sam e truth in Luke 6:38.
To have it within our power to
help, and fail to do so, is to bring
npon ourselves censure and con
demnation. Therefore, we should
seek to perform the good (v. 27).
This passage concludes with the
statem ent that one who searches
after evil shall find that evil will
come to him. The m an who sets his
heart rfo do wrong will not have to
w ait long to find the occasion to do
that which is in his heart.
Many are the injunctions in the
New Testam ent regarding the
proper use of wealth. For exam ple,
the Christian has a duty toward his
own fam ily (I Tim. 5:8). He is en-joined to be sympathetic and gen
erous in his giving to help others
(II Cor. 8:8-15). Certainly he is to
dispense his goods with the glory of
God in view (ef, Col. 3:17,).

Morgan Horse "American as America"
G o v e r n m e n t R u n s U n i q u e
B r e e d i n g F a r m i n V e r m o n t
By BAUKHAGE
News Analyst and Commentator,
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Some time ago the world was star
tled to learn from Pravda, the official communist party news
paper in Moscow, that it was a Russian who discovered “wire
less (as radio was called in its youth), and as if that weren’t
enough, it was announced later by the same authority that the
electric light, which poor Thomas Edison certainly thought he
had something to do with, was likewise a Russian invention.
If I ever read, as some day I fear I shall, that ice-cream sodas and
hot-dogs were first discovered on a pleasant afternoon by som e m ysterious
Muscovite as he sat dream ing on his back steppes, I shall announce that
bortsch and vodka are Am erican products and that the Volga boatm en
were simply a prodigal local of the CIO m aritim e union.
Meanwhile, however, I am re -^
m inded by the departm ent of agri
culture that one
thing which is as
A m e r i can as
A m e r i c a and
w h i c h no for
eigner had bet
ter try to appro-
p r i a t e a s a
home - g r o w n
product, is the
Morgan horse.
Justin Morgan
is im m ortalized
in bronze and
you can see him
today standing
on his pedestal
before the m ain
stable of the United States M organ
horse farm which covers about
1,000 acres of rolling, wooded coun
try two m iles north of Middlebury,
Vt.
The original farm of 400 acres
was presented to the United
States departm ent of agricul
ture by Joseph Battell. Colonel
Battell had long been an ad
m irer and breeder of Morgan
horses, and had founded the
Am erican M organ register. The
farm was established in 1907.
The area was increased by an
additional gift of about 35 acres
by Colonel B atten in 1908, and
by purchase of about 550 acres
from M iddlebury College in
1917. The land, underlain with
lim estone, is well adapted to
the production of horses,
Baukhage
In the selection of foundation
breeding stock, and in planning
subsequent m atings, em phasis was
placed upon size and quality, and
ability to perform the three gaits,
walk, trot and canter. These points
Morgan brood mares, with their
foals, run in one of the pastures
of the department of agriculture’s
II. S. Morgan horse farm near
Middlebury, Vt.
continue Io be emphasized. Also,
every effort has been m ade to pre
serve adequate m uscling and depth
of body and to preserve and en-
hance-.desirable tem peram ent.
The stocky stallion, - original of
the post-mortem effigy w as nam ed
for its owner, a singing schoolmas
ter,-w as foaled in 1793 and died in
1821. He (I m ean the stallion not
the schoolmaster) had a rom antic
Dareer and he is the progenitor of
the breed, which as the departm ent
of agriculture says, is one of the
few breeds of horses developed in
the United States. Justin was a
“sm all, active anim al of great
power and endurance, with the rep
utation of being able to outwalk,
outrun, and outpull any other herse
in Vermont and the neighboring
states.”
He had the power to transm it
these qualities, says the depart
m ent, to his three known sons and
the United States governm ent is
doing its share to perpetuate the
characteristics for which his ilk is
known: “ beauty, easy keeping,
soundness, endurance, and spirit
coupled with gentleness.”
The first tim e I ever went to Ver-
fnont I w as attracted to these
plucky little horses. L ater I learned
more about the M organ horse. He
weighs less than 1,000 pounds, he is
not over 14 hands high, round-bar
relled, with powerful chest and leg
muscles, a proud head and a stout
heart. He has done a lot to develop
the state of Vermont and his ad
ventures have carried him far
afield. In a Actionized but rem ark
ably accurate story of “Justin I,”
M arguerite Henry tells how the boy
Joel, who “gentled” Justin as a
;olt, later lost track of him and
finally found him again and how
Joel, in his cavalry uniform with a
sprig of evergreen in his helm et,
eat proudly on his diminutive
mount when President Monroe re
viewed the Green M ountain boys
when they cam e back from the W ar
of 1812. '
The author has Joel say about
Justin afterw ard: “He w as just
a little work herse that cleared
the fields and helped Vermont
grow up. Come to think of it,
he’s like us. He’s Am erican . . .
that’s w hat he is, Am erican.’'
The M organ horse helped other
states and territories grow up, too,
for their equine brotherhood went
W est with the em igrating farm ers,
and m ore than one American sol
dier was proudly m ounted on a
Morgan as he went into battle. Gen
eral Custer rode off on a Morgan
horse when he went out to fight the
Indians, a whole regim ent of cav
alry had Morgan m ounts in the
Civil W ar.
B re e d in g P ro g ra m
I s U n d e r W a y
Now, “The M organ horse breed
ers” Dr. M cFee of the anim al hus
bandry division of the departm ent
of agriculture told me, “have given
m ore attention to the traits desir
able in a riding horse.” (Forty de
scendants of Justin becam e famous
as trotters. Some of you rem em ber
such nam es as Ethan Allen, Black
Hawk and Dan Patch.)
A t the Morgan farm today
usually about forty-five horses
are under test.
According to the official descrip
tion, the breeding program there
calls for “the measurement of each
youngster at one year of age, at
two years, and at three years. All
are trained under saddle and in
harness and are put through con
trolled perform ance and endurance
trials when about three years old.
The data thus obtained form the
perm anent records of the individ
uals. They are used also in studies
of sire and dam inheritance and as
criteria for formulation the sta
tion’s breeding program . For the

During the two days before fate
ful India becam e a land of free
men, m ore than 200 died in a bloody
orgy of violence and rioting in the
huge northern province of Punjab.
Lahore, the capital, was the cen
ter of the disturbance, but fierce
fighting also took place throughout
the west and east Punjab country
side. Wide sections of Lahore were
aflame.
This took place on the eve of In
dia’s independence day, just before
the Indian constituent assem bly sat
down to function as a free govern
ing body.
Cause of the rioting, incited, as
always, by terrorists, was the bit
ter disagreem ent arising out of the
partitioning of India into two sepa
rate zones—one for Hindus, the
other for Moslems.
In New Delhi, the independence
day cerem onial program began
with two m inutes of silence for
those who died in the fight for free
dom which was finally achieved
through am icable negotiations with
the British.
IRON HAND:
B r ita n n ia R u le d
It w^ll m ay be true that 'Britons
n ever,' never, never shall be
slaves,” as the anthem has it, but
in view of Prim e M inister Clement
Attlee’s new em ergency action giv
ing the governm ent stern powers
over British industry and labor,
m any in the islands are now har
boring serious doubts about that.
The em ergency bill, which Win
ston Churchill charged invoked
such restraints as the government
has never before imposed except in
tim e of w ar, has been passed by
both houses of parliam ent and now
- f o r better or w o rse-is law of the
land.
Designed to bring Britain out ofIly economic slump, tie I
empowers Ie government to com-
m and labor and industry to do
practically anything and every
thing, if it is in the. national in
terest. .
Rallying cry of the British con
servatives, led by Churchill, is
“dictatorship.”
Anthony Eden, for
m er foreign secretary,
got into the fight' by
asking that parliam ent
cut short a planned va
cation so the m em bers
can be on hand to exam
ine the m easures which
the government will or
der. Eden
“The house cannot be
an absent spectator while the govern
m ent does a split over the ever-wid
ening abyss,” said EWen1 also a
m em ber of the Conservative party.
C O -O P IN Q U IR Y :
T tv o Q u e s tio n s
Although the public is not too well
inform ed about it, one of the m ost
im portant and fiercely* waged do
m estic post w ar battles is that
being fought between private busi
ness and cooperative enterprises.
Crux of the feud is the fact that
cooperatives are tax-exem pt, while
private- business is not. From this
evolve two basic questions:
1. W hat effect does tax-ex-
emption have upon growth of
the cooperatives?
2. Is tax-*xemption a factor
of discrim ination against pri
vate business?
A house sm all business subcom
m ittee lias begun an attem pt to find
the answers with an investigation
of the cooperative community en
terprise at Greenbelt, Md. In the
Greenbelt case, business groups
have charged that the government
has aided the cooperative in keep
ing private business out of the de
velopm ent area.
This hearing, as well as others on
the west coast, is being conducted
by- Rep. B. W alter Riehlm an (Rep.,
N. Y.) as acting chairm an of the
subcom mittee.
In view of the theory that taxes
will rem ain high, com pared with
the past,- for at least 50 years, ac
cording to economists, the tax-
exemption feature of co-ops’ exist
ence will grow increasingly im por
tant.

Tourist Trade
Operating on the highly plausible
theory that left-over land m ines are
not only unhealthy for wandering
tourists but are also bad for busi
ness, the French m inistry of re
construction is working hard to
clear all possible danger spots in
form er fighting areas around
France. While the French adm it
that erstwhile battle zones m ight
attract heavy tourist trade, they
are not taking any chances.

That old caricature of the butcher
resting his thumb on the scales as
he weighs out the m eat soon will
vanish completely from the Amer
ican scene if the trend toward pre
packaging of fresh cut m eats con
tinues at its present pace.
Approximately 100 stores across
the nation currently are operating
their m eat departm ents on that ba
sis, and their cash registers are re
cording am ple proof that attractive
ly cut m eat wrapped in cellophane
and placed in display cases sells it
self as efficiently as a butcher’s
sales talk could.
With the popular cuts of m eat in
weights m ost in demand placed in
open-top refrigerated cases, the
housewife can shop at her leisure
and not be compelled to w ait her
turn in line. From the retail stand
point, prepackaging cuts down store
overhead and increases turnover.
Although so far, prepackaging
largely has been confined to retail
shops, large chains are becoming
m ore interested in stream lined m er
chandising plans. One has a m eat
self-service experim ent in operation’
in about 10 Detroit stores, with the
prepackaging done at a central dis
tribution point.
At least one local of the Amal
gam ated M eat Cutters and Butcher
W orkmen’s union has vetoed the
idea of pre-cutting fresh m eats,, but
general opinion among other union
locals is that the practice would be
a favorable one insofar as it would
allow butchers to concentrate on
their skilled trade instead of spend
ing tim e serving customers.
Customer dem and, which adm it
tedly takes peculiar turns at tim es,
can, nevertheless, be anticipated by
analyzing custom er buying habits.
For instance, steaks and chops
would be cut in several thicknesses
so that virtually every custom er
could pick up exactly the kind and
cut of m eat he had in mind.
Experim ents have alm ost wholly
disproved the theory that loss of
personal service in butcher shops
would result in a decline of sales,
principally because attractively
packaged m eat displays become an
effective selling m edium in them
selves.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C.
’’"V ' ■'LOST LOVER
Richard M cFarlane, who disappeared
during the first World War, leaving his
wife, Juliat and two children, suddenly
returns 25 years later and identifies
himself as Captain Mackey, stationed
at Ute same camp as his son, Ric,
serving in World War n. Ric has be*
come involved with Sandra Calvert, a
divorcee who Captain Mackey knew at
one time. He threatens her, bat she
and Ric m arry anyway, and she ar
rives at Julia’s farm to live. She startles
JuIta by recognizing a picture of Rich
ard as that of Captain Mackey. Sandra
and Jill, Rlc’s sister, have a quarrel
during which Sandra demands 910,000.
That night Captain Mackey arrives, say
ing lie is there to take Sandra to Ric.
CHAPTER XIX
“Gordon? No, I don’t know where
he was assigned. Some flight train
ing school, I think. He w as a splen
did fellow.”
“I heard a plane go over ^a little
while ago.” Jill let w ater‘run to
fill the ice tray, wondered if she
should offer him another drink. She
wasn’t used to this aspect of hos
pitality, usually her grandfather did
it, or som etim es D ave. “I thought
about all of you—Spang and you,
all you air m en,” she babbled on, a
bit nervously, wondering why he
had picked up that awful old wood
en potato m asher. M am ie had left
it lying out—it was a thousand years
old and all scarred w here Ric had
gnawed it when he was a baby. “I
envied you,” she ended, thinly.
He perched on the kitchen stool
and lighted a cigarette.
“Smoke these?” he asked. She
shook her head. “Now and then.
Btit Mother doesn’t like it m uch.”
“Tell me a little about yourself.
You’re not in school?” he asked,
coolly.
“Good gracious, no!” Jill
laughed. “I’m practically middle-
aged. I’m alm ost twenty-seven
years old. I was a w ar baby—last
war. Tve never seen m y father.
He didn’t come back.”
“In every w ar som e of us don’t
come back,” he said slowly. "B ut
we’re all vain enough to hope that
we’ll be remembered.”
"It’s the old urge for im m ortality,
isn't it?” Jill said, sensing some
thing in this m an’s mood that an
swered the aching thing she had
kept in her heart so long, the part
of her that belonged to Spang. “ So,
you see I have to be m y father’s
immortality. Ric and I are his fu
ture—all the future he has. In
school I used to read all those weird
books, all about the transm igration
of souls, and m etem psychosis, and
all that fantastic stuff, and for a
while I pretended to m yself that I
was my father, that perhaps he’d
been killed just at the very m om ent
I'd been born, and that his soul
had gone into m y body, and that
really I was Richard M cFarlane.”
An oddly gentle sm ile moved over
his face. “Perhaps that did happen.
Perhaps his soul did go off and
leave him and come to rest in
your body. And if it did and if he
knew I’m quite sure he wouldn’t
wish for anything better than to live
on through som e one so lovely and
sweet as you!”
She led him back to the living-
room, and found an ash tray for
him, and forgot for the m om ent that
he had really come to see Sandra.
She said, when the silence had
stretched a little, “Do you have a
daughter, Captain M ackey?”
He looked up sharply, and she
saw his lip twitch a little.
T a lk A b o u t a
L o s t D a u g h te r
“I lost m y daughter,” he said,
quietly.
''Oh, I’m sorry!”
“It was a. very great loss,” he
went on. “Now that I’ve seen you
I know how great m y loss w as.”
"I’m sorry. We’ve both lost,
haven’t we? A daughter needs her
father terribly, and I suppose fa
thers need their daughters, too,
don’t they?”
"They need them very m uch. But
sometimes they fail to realize the
need until it’s too late. I’m quite
sure I didn’t appreciate m y daugh
ter—when I had her. I—had m y
mind full of other things.”
“But of course your daughter that
you lost can be a sort of glory to
you, don’t you think? My father is
like that to me. If rtiy father could
come back, I suspect he’d be a little
em barrassed by the splendor I in
vested him with, and very likely
your daughter would be just a nice,
human girl, too—m aybe she’d wor
ry you by staying out too late and
smoking and things like that. But
because we don’t have them we can
keep them wonderful and extraordi
nary, can’t we? And m aybe it com
forts them a little for being, sep
arated from us, if they know. Do
you think they could know, possi
bly? People think a lot about life
beyond the grave, in w artim e, don’t
they?”
“I wish your father could come
back to live u p . to all the things
you’ve built up for him in your mind,
Jill M cFarlane. But there’s a big
chance that he m ight be a sad dis
appointment.”
“Oh, he couldn’t be! He couldn’t
be, no m atter how dull he was, or
stern or irritable or anything. Be
cause no m atter w hat he was, he’d
still be my father! Just as Ric is
still my brother, even when I get
furious at him for being weak and
doing outrageous things, like this
m arriage. But I’d fight for him till
BY ; 7i-zlen y IfUUvi ■
we both died, if anything threatened
him . Fam ilies are like that.”
He rose and moved absently near
her and laid his hand for a m om ent
on her hair. Jill took the hand and
pressed it, looking up at him , ter
ribly sorry for him. He m ust, she
w as thinking, have loved th at lost
child very much, and no doubt the
hurt of that loss had turned him
in upon himself, m ade him bitter
and m isunderstood, m ade him the
person Spang and others called Old
Cyanide.
Jill got up, a little disturbed by
the sharpness of her own emotions.
“ You said you wanted to see m y
sister-in-law.” She m ade an awk
w ard effort to get back to common
place ground. “Shall I call her
now?”
“I suppose so.” He seem ed to
pull him self back from some re
m oteness, with difficulty. “I cam e
to take her away. I’m taking her
back to her husband.”
“I'll get her,” Jill said. “I hope
she’U go with you, Captain. Though,
“ I lost m y daughter,” he said
quietly.
to be awfuUy crude and terribly
frank, I think Ric would do m uch
better in the arm y, if he were
alone.”
“I’m sure of that,” he said. “I
have another plan I hope to be able
to work out for Sandra. One that
will be better for everybody.”
“It’s certainly generous of you
to take the trouble,” Jill rem arked.
“I hope there is an answer to this
problem. I know Sandra isn’t hap
py here.” She started for the door
and then stopped, as a slippered fig
ure cam e shuffling down the stairs.
“Oh, G randfather—I didn’t hear
you. G randfather, we have com
pany. This is Captain Mackey,
from Ridley Field. My grandfa
ther, M r. M cFarlane, Captain. The
captain has come to take Sandra
away, G randfather.”
John I. M cFarlane walked slowly
tow ard the m an in uniform.
“So you’re Captain M ackey?” the
old m an said.
R ichard M cFarlane looked at his
father steadily. “I am Captain
M ackey, M r. M cFarlane,” he said,
evenly. “How do you do, sir?”
John I. seem ed to wait. His breath
cam e heavily, his nostrils and his
lean throat quivered. Then with an
abrupt gesture, he held out his
hand.
“How do you do, Captain?” he
said.
They clasped hands gravely, and
it seem ed to Jill that they were a
long tim e about it, that they were
searching each other, studying each
other’s face with an intentness that
was odd for two people who were-
utter, strangers.
F a th e r a n d S o n
S h a k e H a n d s
Then John I. said, “So you’ve
come to take that woman away—
th af one young Richard m arried?
He sent for her, did he?”
The captain waited a m om ent be
fore he answered. Then his words
cam e slowly. “I prom ised Richard
M cFarlane that I would take her
away from this house, sir. It’s quite
im portant that I keep m y prom ise
to R ichard M cFarlane, don’t you
think?” .............................
John I. drew his bps m. “Give
m e a m inute or two to get used to
it,” he said, dryly. “A captain
keeping a prom ise to a private.”
“ Im portant that a captain keep
any prom ise, Mr. M cFarlane, even
a prom ise to him self,” the other
m an rem inded him.
“ In a case like that, I’d say he’d
better go very slow m aking prom
ises to him self,” John I. rem arked.
“He m ight m ake a few he couldn’t
keep.” '
“A m an learns by experience,
don’t you think, sir?”
“M ight be. That would depend
on his experience,” John I. argued,
“Now, take a m an that had never
had a thought for anybody but him
self, his experience m ight not be
m uch help to him—that is unless he
changed his ways a lot.”
“ Only fools and dead m en never
change,” returned the captain. “Ex
perience can teach a m an a great
deal. It can teach him , for in
stance, that there’s a tim e for
speech and a tim e to be silent.”
John I.’s black eyes sharpened
and then grew sober.
“If you’ve learned that, sir, you’ve
learned the m ost im portant thing in
hum an experience,” he said. “I’m
an old m an and I know.”
“And being an old m an, you’ll
give a younger m an credit for trying?”
“I am always glad,” John I. Mc
F arlane spoke slowly, and Jill was
a little im patient with him for be
ing so pontifical and m aking such
tiresom e speeches, though Captain
M ackey seemed not to be bored or
am used by him at all. “I am al
ways glad,” the old m an went on,
“to give credit where, credit is due.
Good night to you, Captain.”
They shook hands again, and Jill
saw how little her grandfather
looked, so shrunken, so old. Then
he turned and went toward the
stairs, and he seemed to grope for
the door, and she heard his feetf
stum ble as he went up ahead of her.
She heard his bedroom door close,
as she reached the upper hall, and
there was a queer, sharp sudden
sound beyond it, a sound alm ost like
a sob.
She knocked on Sandra’s door,
and it was opened with suspicious
alacrity. Sandra still wore the
feathered robe, the sculptured curls,
the bluish shadow on her eyelids,
the rosy curve of lip m eant for al
lure. But her eyes were hard as
m atrix and as cold.
“W hat’s Rod M ackey doing
here?” she demanded.
Jill closed the door, moving into
the room.
“ You listened, did you? He’s a
captain from Ridley Field. He says
he has come to take you to Ric.”
“How can I go to Ric? I don’t
even know where he is! How will
I live when I get there? Ricky told
me to stay here till he sent for me.
This is some kind of trick. I know
Rod Mackey. I’m not going.”
“Don’t be an idiot, Sandra. Cap
tain Mackey told G randfather that
he had promised Ric to bring you.”
“AU right, I’ll talk to him ,” she
said, sullenly, “but I won’t go with
him. No woman in her right mind
woiUd go anywhere with Rod Mack
ey.”
“How silly!” Jill w as scornful.
“You assum e that every m an has
designs on you, Sandra. I don’t be
lieve you know Captain M ackey at
all. I wouldn’t be afraid to go- with
him .”
“Oh, no doubt. You’re the naive
type that men like Mackey look
for.” Sandra was posing, Jill saw,
even walking down the stairs. Her
head was up, she was pointing her
toes, she was being regal and
keeping her eye on the long m ir
ror in the lower hall. She was the
affronted queen when she faced
Roger Mackey at the living-room
door. “Just what,” she asked in
an imperious tone, “is the m eaning
of this, Captain?”
He said, “ Go pack your bags,
Sandra. I’m taking you to your
husband.”
A C lo s e C a ll
F o r M a c k e y
“Thank you, I’m not going. I
doubt if Ricky knows anything
about this at all. You’re meddling
again, aren’t you, Rod Mackey? As
serting your authority to m eddle in
the affairs of other people, that don’t
concern you!”
“On the contrary, this concerns
m e,” he insisted. “I have a very
definite commission. Otherwise I
shouldn’t have m ade this long trip.”
wFor goodness sake, Sandra, you
said you were breaking your heart
because you had to leave Ric,” Jill
exclaim ed. “I should think you’d be
delighted to have a chance to go
with Captain M ackey.”
Sandra gave her a slow, pitying
look. “Did you ever see this of
ficer before, Jill?” she asked, cold
ly.
“Why, of course. I m et him at
Ridley Field.”
"D oes he rem ind you of some
one? Some one you’ve seen be
fore?” Sandra went on in that sam e
deadly level voice.
Jill did not answer because she
was startled by the odd, harsh sound
that Captain M ackey m ade.
But his voice cam e, level and
even. “I rem ind her of her father,”
he said, looking straight at Sandra.
“And she rem inds m e of m y own
daughter. We’ve been comforting
each other because we both know
what we have lost. People with
im agination should indulge their
whims som etim es, but not too far
—not too dangerously far! Im ag
inations have a way of getting away
from you, of traveling at high
speed to all sorts of rem ote places.
Even to Mexico! Now, if you’ll
kindly pack your bags, M rs. Mc
Farlane, Jr., we’ll be on our way.
Just one bag, please. The rest of
your things can be sent for later.
And you needn’t be uneasy. I’m
taking you straight to the place
where you .ought to be.”

SPOKANE, WASH. — For 50
year an 82-year-old English
woman resentfully carried the
Irish nam e of O’Connor.
She resented the name so much
in fact, she told Judge Carl
Quackenbush, that she delayed
marrying her late husband for
two years because she did not
like the name. M oreover, she tes
tified, ever since her m arriage
she has bewailed the fact that
she was m istaken for an Irish
woman.
The court did not hesitate giv
ing her back her m aiden nam e
of Elizabeth Jane Cook. The de
cision m ay have been prom pted
by the fact that she already had
it engraved on her tombstone.

tinuing through Septem ber I, by<^
staging a reenactm ent of their final
peace treaty drawn up in 1692.
Am erica’s oldest community festi
val, the Santa Fe Fiesta, commemo
rates the reconquest of the south
west territory and especially of San
ta Fe, the form er Spanish capital,
by Gen. Don Diego de V argas in
the year 1692. The reconquest cam e
12 years after the Indian uprising
in which all Spanish persons north
of the border fled back into Mexico
or were killed.
Twenty years later, in 1712,
Marquis de la Penuela, gover
nor and captain general of the
New Mexico territory, decreed
that a fiesta should be held an
nually “for all tim e to come? in
honor of the retaking of the City
of Santa Fe. This was in keep
ing with a vow, m ade prior to
the reconquest by General De
V argas, to hold a fiesta in honor
of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
This annual celebration, prior to
World W ar II, was one of the out
standing festivals in the country,
with thousands of tourists coming
to join with local Spanish-Amer-
icans, Mexicans, Indians and Anglos
(Caucasians who have settled here
from other states).
The colorful pageantry of the re
conquest of the city, the covered
wagon days parades, Indian m ar
kets and dances, native m usicians
with their folk m usic and dancing,
often including, as it will this year,
the im portation of a M ariachi band
or orchestra from Old Mexico, Con-
quistadores Baile or Ball, always
have intrigued fiesta visitors.
This year for the first tim e since
1941, all m ajor features have been
included in the program and from
the burning of Zozobra (a giant 100-
foot figure of the god of gloom) on
Friday evening, until the last mu
sical concert on Monday evening,
hilarity and the spirit of fiesta will
reign suprem e.
Sunday is given over largely to
appropriate religious activities.
Highlights include a procession to
the church of high Catholic digni
taries, a high pontifical m ass and
an evening candlelight procession in
which thousands of pilgrim s bearing
lighted candles wend their way
through the streets, with lum inarios
and pinon fires helping to light their
way.
Santa F e, oldest capital city
in the nation, will be decked out
in gala holiday attire for fiesta
tim e. Gay bnnting and colorful
banners will adorn city streets,
and m any residents will be be
decked in colorful old costumes
rem iniscent of early Spanish
and Indian days.
Perched in mountainous country
at an elevation of 7,000 feet, Santa
Fe holds forth its cool, invigorating
clim ate as an added lure for fiesta
visitors. The city and the nearby
area are replete with authentic his
toric sights which beckon to m any
tourists who, like the freighters of
old, m ake their last stop at the ter
m inus of the Santa F e Trail.

Minister Renounces
Salary To Take Job
As Railroad Laborer
LANARK, ILL.—Renouncing his
church salary because of a “steady
decline in revenue,” the Rev. H ar
m on H. Bro, 27, pastor of the Chris
tian church, has taken a job as a
railroad section hand to support his
family.
The m inister, a H arvard graduate
and son of a college president, told
his congregation he will continue to
serve the church without salary,
which w as $200 a month, including
parsonage rent. He is m arried and
the father of a baby daughter.
His job as a railroad section hand
pays 85 cents an horn: for a 48-hour
week, a total of $177.66 a month.
In announcing his decision to take
the job, M r. Bro told his congrega
tion:
“There are too m any people in
modern churches who think that
the kingdom of God is just some
thing you hire a preacher to
worry about so the congregation
can relax.”
He explained th at “only about 30”
of the church’s 100 m em bers attend
services regularly. Church income,
he added, has been dropping regu
larly.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.—Air
plane pilots are supplanting careless
m otorists as the bane of U. S. for
est service fire-fighters, according to
Supervisor F. C. Koziol of W asatch
National forest.
It used to be that m otorists care
lessly flipping cigarettes from their
car windows or knocking out pipe
ashes were blam ed for the m ajority
of m an-set forest fires. Now, Ko-
ziol says, fire lookouts have been
warned to keep their binoculars
trained on pilots of aircraft.
“It has been established in m any
instances that aircraft have flown
over areas im m ediately before fire
has broken out,” he reports. “With
no other causes discovered, there’s
a distinct possibility that burping
m aterial tossed from the planes
caused the fires.” '
S c h o o l P r o m o t e s ‘T a p s ’ f o r F a r m e r s
TULSA, OKLA.—It sounded all
wet when the Chamber of Commerce
listed a “Hot and Cold Running
W ater School” in its calendar of
coming events.
But all was clear after F arm Man
ager C. A. Border offered his ex
planation. His idea, it appears, is
to replace the “old oaken bucket”
with a newfangled faucet by install
ing w ater system s in farm homes.
Figures compiled by Border show
that 204,000 Oklahoma farm families
have to tote their w ater in buckets
from wells. M em bers of each farm
fam ily which m ust resort to well
w ater for its drinking supply travel
a total distance of 152 m iles yearly
lugging w ater, he reports.
The one-day school here is de
signed to bring state agricultural
and Indian service leaders together
with w ater system m anufacturers
prom ote “taps” for farm ers.

The Russians Wouldn’t
Get It
We talk of those Russians being
difficult to understand. But there
are some things our totalitarian
neighbors would never be able to
understand about us. They jusl
would not get it. The way we ar
gued and fussed over the labor bill
Congress just passed, for example.
Then when the bill becam e law,
we all settled down to see if we
can abide by it. This is w hat we
call m ajority rule, through the elect
ed representatives of the people.
In our kind of set-up, people are
given credit for being able to think
for them selves. Facts are easy to
get hold of. Viewpoints m ay be
freely expressed. We m ake up
our m inds, and our representatives
at the seat of government try to
carry out our wishes. Things do
not go like this in the totalitarian
countries. Such questions would
never be placed before the people
in the first place. Regardless oi
everything else, the will of the dic
tator would prevail.
Labor Shows Spirit
Organized labor, in its attitude
toward the Taft-Hartley Bill, has
dem onstrated the m anner in which
the “people’s m andate’’ is accepted
in a land where laws are deter
m ined by the will of the m ajority,
but where all m inorities are respect
ed. The bill was the m ost con
troversial legislation to come up in
years. Much feeling was developed.
Lobbying was everywhere.
Yet, when the labor bill became
law over the President’s veto, and
when the President had stated that
he’d sincerely enforce it and not
sabotage the law, the top leaders
of labor affirmed there would be no
general protest strikes. Rightly,
they declared they would test it in
the courts, where laws should be
tested. If the legislation is in error,
tim e will tell. In the true’ Amer
ican tradition of fairness and jus
tice, we are awaiting the proving
and testing of the new law.
The Way It Works
Now, I would like to say that the
whole nation’s economy is the direct
result of this sort of thing. We
m ay not like the decision of the
m ajority, but we go along and m ake
it work. We bank on the m ajority
being right. We are willing to let
the m ajority, through our elected
representatives, write the laws.
Economics used to be a big word.
Now, nearly everybody understands
it to mean the way we use our re
sources and consume our wealth.
This includes production, buying,
and selling. It includes the activi
ties of labor and of managem ent.
Traditionally, in this country, we
have allowed our economy to re
m ain free of artificial barriers
which would ham per its natural
laws, like that of supply and de
m and, for instance.
The im portant thing is: free trad-
. ing and buying and selling (that is,
an economy which freely belongs to
the people), works best when we
have a truly representative govern
m ent. They go hand in hand. Ty
rants and dictators never let these
things go free. A restricted econ
omy and a non-representative gov
ernm ent, you'll find, are always
part and parcel of the totalitarian
method. This method never pays
high wages. In America we have
a great land. We pay the highest
wages m en ever earned. Let’s keep
it that way! And free!

This is God’s will and plan for our

Our text speaks of Elijah, a man
who was mighlv in prayer. He
lived in a very wicked age ot the
world, yet he lived iu touch with
God He would not yield to the
wickedness of the times, therefore
kept in a spirit of prayer. He had
wonderful, blessed, sweet comma
nion with God.
Elijah lived in tbe days of King
Abab, who was one of the most
wicked, ungodly kings that ever
sat upon a throne. Naturally the
nation over which he ruled like,
wise became very wicked. Rulers
of nations have a powerful influ
ence over the people, either for
good or evil. Ahab’s influence was
for evil, and how great was that
evil:
Of course Elijah stood against
the sins and wickedness of Ahab,
along with the wickedness of Jeze-
bel. Ahab’s ungodly, murderous
wife. Seeing their wickedness of
the nation, Elijah prayed earnest-
Iy that it might not rain. "And
Elijah and Tishbite, who was of
the inhabitants of Gilead, said un
to Ahab. As the Lord God of Is
rael liveth, befote whom I stand,
there shall not be dew nor rain
these years, but according to my
word.” (I Kings 17:1. Then a
drouth of three and one half years
followed, during which time God
took care of Blijah in a marvel.
ous way. Part of the time he was
fed twice a day by the ravens, alter
which be was fed by a poor widow
at Zarephath, whose food God like
wise miraculously provided. Praise
tbe Lord
Then Elijah met Ahab, who had
searched for him, perhaps with the
intention of punishing him. or pit
ting him to death because of the
drouth, as he blamed Elijah with ir.
"And it came to pass, when Ahab
saw Elijah, that Abab said unto
him. Art thou be that troubleth
Isreal? And he answered. I have
not troubled ItoeI; but thou, and
thy father’s hou.se, in that ye have
forsaken the commandments of tbe
Lord, and thou hast followed
Balim,” (I Kings 18:17,18).
You will notice that Ahab want-
a
so lives that God will answer his
prayers, even if He has to punish
a nation tor its wickedness, or de
throne a king, or a ruler God al
ways does tbe right thing when
He answers the prayers ot a right
eous man, even if He basto punish
men for their wickedness. It is
dangerous for a man to live so
wickedly that God’s people have
to pray against him rather than for
him. That happens.
After this old Elijah had a great
mass meeting with Ahab and the
prophets oi Baa! on mount Carmel
where they held a praver meeting.
Elijah gave the prophets of Baal
the first A m in testing their
gods, or trving them out. TheGod
Ol [OllSl IlIfl Wttltll pnjftl Of
on was to be the God of gods.
When the prophets of Baal had
prayed and prayed unto their gods,
even cutting their flesh in order to
arouse their gods to action, they
received no anser Then Elijah
prayed this simple find short pray,
er: "Hear me, O Lord, hear me,
that this people may know that
thou hast turned their hack|again.”
(I Kings i8 ;37).
The following verses tell us:
“Then the fire of the Lord fell and
consumed the burnt sacrifice* and
the wood, and the stones, and the
dust, and licked up the water that
was in the trench, And when all
the people saw it. they fell on their
faces: and thev said. The Lord he
is God; the Lord, he is God. And
Elijah said unto them: Take tbe
prophets of Baal; let not one of
them escape. And they took them
and Elijah brought them down to
the brook Kishon, and siew them
there.”
After the slaying of the prophets
of Baal, Elijah started praying for
rain It seems that It was harder
to pray through to end the drouth
than it was to pray the drouth on;
as Elijah put his face between his
knees and prayed seven times. At
last he sent his servant seven times
to look toward the sea before be
saw any sign of rain. No doubt
each time that his servant returned
and told Elijah there was no sign
of rain he* prayed ag2in. This
shows us the vital importance of
perseverence in prayer—holding on
and on until we receive whatever
we are praving for, when we real
ize that wa are praying In God's
will. It is not always easy to pray
throvgh. Sometimes we have to
hold on for hours, davs, weeks,
months and even years before we
get an answer from God. He knows
best. Usually the Lord doesn’t
withhold His answer for years, but
we have heard of it. In fact one
of our readers wrote us that she

Uur text savs, “The effectual

availeth much.” In that particu.

“warm in feeling, ardent, earnest,

Here is something that is very

in the meantime they are disohev-

Furtherm ore, it has been re

In his book “ Reilly of the White

nearly cracked up in M alta, and

been considered an unwritten law
since George W ashington’s tim e (he

Travel has become a presi
dent m ust, and M r. Trum an’s
trip to South Am erica is just
routine.
But it is com plicated routine
for a whole arm y of people.
W hat these people do is little
known to the public, especially the
secret service. One out of every 10
of our presidents has been assassi
nated up to the tim e congress
turned the job of protecting the
chief executive over to the secret
Service. Sinee then no president
has been assassinated.
Theirs (the secret service) is a
heartbreaking job, and never have
the details been so thoroughly re
vealed (to the discomfiture of
some of his form er colleagues) as
by Mike ReiUy in the book I m en
tioned.
Of course in w artim e the job was
vastly m ore compUcated, and the
arm y and navy worked closely with
the secret service. A special air
raid alert system was designed,
Reilly says “to protect FDE any
where in the United States.”
When a spotter or w atcher,
either civilian or mUitary, spot
ted an airplane he or she was
unable to identify “ any place
from Greenland to the Straits
of M agellan,” the information
w as radioed im m ediately to the
arm y air force headquarters at
MitcheU Field, N. I .
The information was im m ediately
evaluated and conveyed by radio
and land line to the secret service
communication system where men
were standing a 24 hour watch. This
system tied together MitcheU Field,
Bolling Field, the homes, offices and
automobiles of various secret serv
ice agents, field offices throughout
the country, aU secret service mo
bile units, the President’s train,
Shangri-La, and the President’s
room at Hyde Park.
PresideiU K ept
Inform ed Constantly
But keeping the President alive
is only one activity. Keeping him
in touch with his job is another.
Once when a bullying congress
dem anded of President G rant which
if any of his duties he perform ed in
W ashington, he repUed that his busi
ness and where he did it w as his
own affair. Now a president’s out-
of-town business is a lot of people’s
affairs.
In w artim e this signal corps de
tail had the mission of speeding the
President’s top-secret communica
tions “from the highest level -con
ference tables to instaUations in the
field.”
"Today,” as M ajor McNaUy
puts it, “w herever the President
travels, the White House signal
detachm ent continues its task of
weaving deftly an intricate com
m unications net, which enables
the commander-in-chief (and,
he m ight have added, a travel
ing candidate) to keep himself
constantly inform ed and in
touch with the nation.”
The work of weaving this "com
munications net” is an exciting sto
ry too long to recount here, but
let m e quote M ajor McNaUy brief
ly to show how continuous commu
nication was m aintained when P res
ident Roosevelt m ade one of his fre
quent trips to Hyde Park.
“A 50-watt frequency modulation
station was modified and instaUed
on the secret service car attached
to the presidential train. Army ve
hicles, radio equipped, were spot
ted at strategicaUy plotted points
along the route between Washing
ton and Poughkeepsie, so that the
train was in constant touch with
the White House aU the way. An
other FM radio link was installed
in the old stable on the President’s
estate at Hyde Park. By m eans of
a direct telephone line to Washing
ton and frequency modulation ra
dio, the White House was kept in
form ed of the President’s where
abouts at all tim es.”
The speed with which m essages
could be dispatched and answers re
ceived was astounding. When Win
ston Churchill was m aking his sec

"We must reject an encroachment upon
the fundamental rights of the state. I am confident that we all agree that the state
exists for man, not man for the state— aitd that we abhor any limitation upon the freedom of expression of men through-
out the world.”
Thus, in his first address before
the inter-Am erican conference at
Petropolis, BrazU, U. S. Secretary
of State George MarshaU issued a
reaffirm ation of dem ocratic princi
ples in the western hem isphere and
then bulwarked his expression of
idealism with specific assurances
of U. S. economic aid to L atin Amer
ica.
He told the delegates that the
U. S. governm ent “wUl continue
to take up economic questions with
its sister repubUcs and seek a sound
basis for practical cooperation.”

That was interpreted as m eaning
that the U. S. is willing to help solve
Latin A m erica’s economic problems
through a series of bi-lateral pacts.
There was also a hint that the big
northern neighbor is counting on
sending down its capital.
DP SHUFFLE:
T r u m a n A c ts
President H arry Trum an, in a re
newed effort to alleviate the “tragic
plight” of Europe’s displaced per
sons, ordered a three-way shift in
the top com mand of the U. S. im
m igration and naturalization serv
ice.
In addition, it was disclosed that
adm inistration officials in Washing
ton have resum ed their review of
the problem of displaced persons.
Most im portant personnel shift in
volved the transfer of Ugo Carusi
from his post as commissioner of
im m igration to a position in the
state departm ent where he will sur
vey all “critical” problems relating
to displaced persons, particularly
their resettlem ent.
This is expected to result in add
ed stress being placed on a directive
Mr. Trum an issued in December,
1945, calling for coordinated action
by federal officials to adm it as
m any displaced persons as possible
within quota lim itations.
Watson B. MiUer, federal security
adm inistrator, succeeds Carusi as
commissioner of im m igration, and
O scar Ross Ewing, New York law
yer, replaces Miller.
President Trum an’s action was
taken in the face of congress’ re
fusal to act on his proposal to relax
im m igraton quotas.

CRYSTAL BALL;
Next President
G eneral Douglas M acArthur will
be the next president of the United
States.
That, at least, is the occult pre
diction of a 75-year-old Japanese for
tune teller, Kakudo Tomioka, who
eulogized: “M acArthur has a glo
rious future in store for him .”
Tomioka, who is said, to have a
record of several accurate predic
tions, placed the general on a plane
with Mohandas Ghandi in the field
of social welfare.
“There presently are two living
m en who have succeeded in realiz
ing a peaceful revolution,” he said.
“They are M acArthur and Ghandi.
But, then, Ghapdi’s mission is over.
And M acArthur has his m ost glori
ous task to accomplish for the world
in the future.”
It was not im m ediately known
whether M acArthur would use To-
m ioka’s recom m endation as a plank
in his platform if he runs in 1948.
SURPLUS:
B u d g e t R e v ie tv
President Trum an’s budget busi
ness m ade big news again when the
chief executive (I) forecast a rec
ord treasury surplus next June of
nearly five billion dollars, and (2)
hurt Republican feelings by telling
the nation that congress trim m ed
the 1947 budget estim ates by only
1.5 billion dollars.
His m id-year budget review esti
m ated tax receiots this year at
$41,667,000,000, which is 2.1 billion
dollars m ore than any previous
forecast.
Mr. Trum an m ade his announce
m ent coincidentally with a bureau
of labor report which indicated
that the U. S., far from being in
for a business depression, can look
forward to a period of prosperity
continuing “indefinitely.”
CAUTIO N TO TH E WINDS
S h a r p R i s e i n B u y i n g N o t e d
Swinging sharply away from its
previous cautious attitude of econ
omy T m inded discrim ination, the
U. S. buying public has launched
itself on a relatively liberal pur
chasing spree.
Virtually all fields of trade have
reported a clear-cut trend away
from passive waiting for lower
prices, and purchases are increas
ing all over the country.
The change has given rise to a
certain am ount of alarm over the
possibilities of a new inflation spiral
which m ay develop as a result of
indiscrim inate buying. It has be
come the subject of m uch discus
sion among business leaders, bank
ers and economists, some of whom
express concern that the movem ent
m ight acquire runaway proportions.
“We are watching developments
from day to day,” said a govern
m ent economist, “hoping that it
will taper off before it becomes a
violent spiral that can end only In
a senous reversal.”
It is generally agreed that the
m ovem ent began with the renewed
wave of price increases that fol
lowed the boost in coal prices and
mine wages. It has gained momen
tum ever since.
Consumers apparently have given
up hope that any m aterial reduc
tion in prices will occur within the
reasonable, future and are going
ahead to purchase m erchandise
which they long have needed. Many
m erchants who curtailed their in
ventories a year ago are placing
orders to replenish their stocks.
As a result of the widespread
buying trend, previous opinions that
industry and business were in for at
least slight setbacks in the la s t half
of this year are being revised. Cur
rent forecasts are optim istic con
cerning high levels of business ac
tivity during the third and fourth
quarters.
Belief now is that prices generally
will move upward, or at least hold
their present heights, until well into
next year. Cash rem ains abundant,
and the influx of large am ounts of
money from veterans’ term inal
leave bonds and state bonuses will
be added contributing factors to the
inflationary trend.

M HI I H IHfl
Julia M cFarlane, whose husband, Rich
ard, disappeared in World War I, leav
ing her to raise two children, Rfc and
JiU, is startled when 25 years later,
during the second war, he returns and
tells her be is using the nam e of Captain
Mackey. Ric m arries Sandra Calvert,
a divorcee whom Richard knew to he of
bad reputation. She arrives a t the farm
t* Uve and recognizes a picture of Rich
ard as that of Mackey. She and Jill
quarrel and she demands $10,000. That
night Captain Mackey arrives, telling
Jill, who does not know who he is,
that he is taking Sandra to Ric. He
tells JHl about the daughter be lost
and she tells him about her father.
Sandra refuses to leave with him.
CHAPTER XX
“All right," she snapped, harshly,
"w hat’s the payoff? There is one,
I suppose? You didn’t come here
out of the goodness of your heart,
Rod M ackey!”
He looked at Jill and sm iled otie-
sidedly.
“She doesn’t trust m e!” he
draw led. “She thinks there’s a
catch in it.”
“ Maybe she has had some disil
lusioning experiences,” Jill said. “It
could be that she hasn’t always
known the right sort of people.”
“Never mind the kind of people
I ’ve known!” Sandra cried, hoarse
ly. “At least no tricky heel has
ever fooled m e yet. Ju st tell m e
the gag, that’s all. I hate blunder
ing into things. I suppose the Ges
tapo has been abroad, and right
now is the dram atic m om ent to pro
duce the fatal papers? If you’d
only given m e one m ore day, Rod
» M ackey! One m ore day, and a very
elaborate m ilitary reputation m ight
have gone crashing down in some
very dirty ruins! But you knew I
wouldn’t have had tim e to prove
anything, didn’t you? You worked
fast!”
"W hat on earth is she talking
about?” Jill dem anded of the cap
tain, her eyes bewildered.
“She’s displeased with m e, Jill,”
he said, blandly. “I happen to know
a few facts fibout a divorce our
Sandra once got in a little sm elly
town called Piedras N egras, in
Mexico. Back in 1927, I think,
w asn’t it, Sandra? Or w as it ’29?
She bought the divorce cheap, the
w ay you buy things in Mexico,
cheap stuff you wouldn’t look at in
this country, and she didn’t look too
carefully at the divorce. And of
course after she m arried Lieutenant
Colonel Calvert, and then collected
considerable alimony from him , and
now that she’s m arried into the Mc-
F arlane family, she’d like to forget
the divorce and never hear anything
about it again.”
“You m ean—the divorce wasn’t
any good?” Jill asked. “But if it
w asn’t—”
“He doesn’t know a thing about
It!” snapped Sandra. “He’s bluff
ing. Trying to force m e to do what
he wants m e to do.”
“Unfortunately for you, m y dear
girl. I’m not bluffing. I have, to
quote you, the fatal papers. Now, if
you don’t mind, I’d like to get start
ed. I’m still in the arm y, I’m still
under command. And it’s getting
late.”
“All right, I ’ll go,” she said, “but
not with you. You can take m e as
far as a bus station. Well, you can
relax now, Jill. I’m taking m y ob
noxious person out of your house.
You won’t be degraded any more.
You—you poor, blind little fool!”
She whirled away and went
pounding up the stairs. Jill sat
down abruptly. She was feeling
weak and queer as though she had
just watched something die.
"I—wish you’d stay until Mother
gets here,” she said, faintly. “She’ll
be disappointed at not seeing you.
And—is it true about Sandra’s di
vorce? That it w asn’t legal or
som ething?”
“H er nam e happens not to be
Sandra,” the Captain said. “Her
nam e w as H attie Schoeffle when she
was m arried to a boy nam ed Bor-
dine, in Kearney, N ebraska. Then
she tired of him and got into bur
lesque, and after that into vaude
ville, and a few years ago she
showed up in San Antonio and at
tracted a young M ajor Calvert, who
wanted to m arry her. So she got
this quick divorce in Mexico and
didn’t bother to discover that the
official who signed it hadn’t taken
his oath of office yet, or rem em ber
th at she’d been m arried as H attie
Schoeffle, and divorced as Sandra
Laverne—m ere legal details but
quite im portant.”
“ I’m glad,” Jill said. “It’s a
nasty thing to say, but I’m glad.”
“Will you give your m other a
m essage from m e, Jill?”
“Of course. But they should be
here any m inute.”
“A soldier’s tim e is not his own,
you know. But you can tell your
m other not to worry about Rich
ard. I think he’ll come through this
business all right. I think he has
good stuff in him, in fact I’m sure
of it. He’s his m other’s son."
An Old Beau
Came to Call
“I’ll tell her. But what shall I
tell Mother about you?”
He smiled, slowly, and that sam e
look of far places, of things long re
m em bered, of bewildered loss cam e
again into his eyes. He reached for
Jill’s hand and held it.
“Just tell her that an old beau
cam e to call,” he said, striving
for lightness. “One of her dangling
adorers—she used to collect them
the way a honeysuckle gathers
bees. Just rem em ber that, Jill, if
she gets tough on you. You tell her
that one of her last lovers came—
in fact I believe I was the last.”
“Before m y father, of course. I’ll
tell her, Captain Mackey. I’ll tell
her that her Ihst lover cam e to call.
And I do thank you for concerning
vourself with our fam ily problems.
I know that m y m other would like
to thank you, too.”
“Ju st give m e a kind thought now
and then, will you, Jill? I’ll need
it, where Fm going.” He heard
Sandra’s feet on the stairs and bent
down quickly and kissed Jill on the
cheek. “That’s for m y own daugh
ter,” he said, huskily.
JiU stretched herself quickly on
tiptoe and drew his head down and
kissed him on the mouth.
“And that,” she whispered, “is
for m y father! Good-by, Captain
M ackey.”
Sandra cam e, dragging her bag
down, looking sm all and somehow
2 £ s
“And that”—she whispered, “ is
for m y father.”
frightened. She said, “Well, good-
by, Jill. I suppose this m akes you
very happy indeed.”
“No.” JiU shook her head. “No.
It doesn’t. It m akes m e a little
sick, Sandra, if you want the truth.
I don’t Uke you very much, but I
hate having it end this way. Good
luck, anyway. And good-by again,
Captain M ackey.”
“I m ay w rite to you soon—I may
have something to teU you,” Sandra
said grimly.
Captain Mackey picked up her
bag and took her arm brusquely
and hurried her out. At the door
he turned and looked back at Jill, a
long look. Then he flicked a little
salute — the sam e gesture that
Spang made—and went out.
JiU sat limp and shaken when the
car had roared off down the drive.
She wondered what would happen
to Sandra now. But women like
Sandra always got along. They
knew their way about. She stopped
bothering about Sandra then, for
Dave’s cari had turned in at the
gate, and ’she heard voices—two
m en’s voices—it couldn’t be—
She flew to the door and across
the porch. They were getting out
of the car, and Dave grinned at her
and said, “H ere’s a dirty looking
tram p we found downtown, Jill. He
was asking the police how to get out
to Buzzard’s HiU, so we just brought
him along. E ver seen him before?”
Reunion With
Spang Gordon
Jill gave a choking little cry and
flung herself at the tall figure in the
greasy-flying jacket.
“Spang!”
He caught her and held her tight.
He kissed her gravely on the mouth.
“Pure dumb luck!” he said.
Just a routine flight—m y naviga
tor had to get some more hours in
the air, and right over this town the
doggone oil line busted! Glad to
see m e, Jill?"
“Oh, Spang!” She shivered hap
pily.' “You did come back!”
‘How about turning the m an loose
so he can wash his face?” Dave
teased. “You’ve got grease on your
chin and your nose, too, Jill.”
‘I know Spang m ust be tired and
hungry," Julia said. “I’ll see what
can be found in the kitchen. Get
some clean towels, Jill.”
Jill led Spabg upstairs to the
bathroom . ;
.“Sorry I’m such a m ess,” he said,
pulling off the oil-soaked flight
jacket, “but I worked an hour on
that line before I gave up and de
cided we had to wire for some spare
parts—lucky they had that little
landing field out there, wasn’t it?”
‘Awfully lucky you\didn’t have
som e spare parts along,' too, wasn’t
it. Spang? Or you’d have had to
fix whatever it was and go on.”
‘Be noon tomorrow or m aybe lat
er before we can finish repairs. De
pends on how fast they get the
stuff to us. So I divided the gang up
as watches for the plane, and the
rest of us struck out for town, and
just as I was asking that sleepy cop
down there on the m ain corner
where a place called Buzzard’s Hill
was, there were your m other and
Mr. Patterson pulling out of a park
ing spot, and the cop took m e over
to the car. Talk about m y lucky
star! Here I am !”
"And we have twelve hours, any
way,” Jill said happily. “ Come
down when you’re ready, Spang.Mother’s getting something lor you
to eat.”
They sat around the kitchen ta
ble while Spang devoured scram
bled eggs and warmed-over biscuit.
“If the C.O. could see m e now,”
he said, “he’d sw ear I sm ashed that
oil line on purpose! He’d give m e a
long lecture and rem ind m e of those
fellows on the other side who bring
the big babies in on two engines and
one of those on fire, and all that
stuff.”
“ You didn’t have the English
Channel under you,” Dave said.
“Oh, I’d put up the routine argu
ment. I was trying to save an ex
pensive plane and an expensively
trained crew for the air corps. They
concede that you’re right, usually,
but they have to get you on the de
fensive first, just to see if you’ve
got the spirit to defend your deci
sions, probably. Is there one more
drop of coffee in that pot, M rs. Mc-
Farlane?”
“I’ll squeeze the handle hard,”
Julia sm iled at him. Then she
looked unhappily at Jill. “We’re
frightfully rude,” she said. “JiU,
we should have asked Sandra to
come down.”
“Sandra?” Spang repeated sharp
ly. “Sandra Calvert? She’s here?”
“She was m arried to Richard,”
Julia said. “She cam e today, or I
guess it’s yesterday now. Ric was
shipped off som ewhere and he sent
her home to us.”
Spang w as looking at Jill with a
troubled face, but Jill had jum ped
up and stood frozen with consterna
tion.
“Dooley!” she cried. “I w as so
excited over seeing Spang that I
forgot to tell you! Sandra’s gone!"
“ Gone?” Julia repeated incredu
lously. “Jill, you w eren’t—you
didn’t—”
"I didn’t do anything,” Jill insist
ed. “She got rather nasty after
you left, and we exchanged a few
acid rem arks, but nothing was se
rious. Then suddenly this officer
cam e for her. He is a captain at
Ridley Field, Dooley, and it seems
he knew Sandra in Hawaii and other
places. I m et him when I went
down there. He said he used to
know you, Dooley. His nam e was
Captain Roger M ackey.”
Julia gripped the edge of the ta
ble. She would not let her legs
crum ple under her, she would not
let herself cry out.
Spang said, “Old Cyanide! So he
cam e here, did he?”
“You know him, do you?” Dave
asked, moving arOund the table to
draw the younger eyes away from
Julia while she got hold of herself.
“Yes, sir, he was a personnel of
ficer at the field. Not very popular
with the men, when I was there.”
“He said at first he was going to
take Sandra to Ric,” Jill explained,
“and then when she refused to go,
he sprang some Mexican divorce
she’d had on her—it seem s Ric was
her third husband, Dooley—and this
Captain Mackey said he was quite
sure the M exican divorce w asn’t
legal and that she wasn’t m arried
to Ric at all. She was pretty bad
ly frightened, I could see. She tried
to keep Captain Mackey quiet with
some vague threats or others but he
m ade her go. I’m so sorry you
weren’t here, Dooley. He said he
was an old beau of yours.”
She said anxiously, “Aren’t you
pleased, Dooley? I thought you’d
be relieved to find she wasn’t here
any m ore.”
“ Yes, I’m pleased,”- she said,
faintly, “but I’m sorry Sandra went
away when I was not here at least
to say good-by.”
“Odd that Mackey concerned
him self about R ic,” Spang said.
“May be, of course, that he was
somehow involved with the Calveri
woman.”
Dooletf Receives
A Message
“Oh, no!” Jill protested quickly.
“He isn’t that sort of person, Spang.
Not that sort at all. And Sandra
hated him. She told me so. She
didn’t really want to go with him.
I got the feeling that she was some
how scared. I think he knew more
about her than he told me. He left
a m essage for you, Dooley. He said
to tell you that you weren’t to worry
about Ric, that Ric was going to
be all right. He talked about his
daughter that he lost, and I told him
about m y father, and then he said
I was to tell you that your ‘last
lover’ cam e, Dooley. He said he
was quite sure he was the la s t-
before m y father, of course. Doo
ley, you look funny. Don’t you feel
well?”
“Too m any things have happened
to Dooley all at once,” Dave saidj,

UNDER FLOODLIGHTS . . . For 74 years, Seven F alls and South
Cheyenne Canyon have been among the m ajor scenic attractions in the
Pikes Peak region of Colorado. Visitors now can view the famous
falls at night, under electric lights. The w aterfall, shown above, is
lighted by 28 large floodlights with alternating white and color effects.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.—Embracing “the grandest
mile of scenery in Colorado,” majestic Seven Falls and pictur
esque South Cheyenne Canyon have intrigued visitors to the Pikes
Peak region for the past 74 years. Their beauties, however, have
been shrouded when nightfall descended but now, through com
pletion of an electrical engineering feat, this m ajor scenic attrac
tion of the Rockies can be viewed under electric lights.
The project, which m akes this ‘
Colorado beauty spot the only com
pletely lighted canyon and w aterfall
in the world, required the use of 80
huge floodlights and m ore than 1,000
sm all spotlights. More than two
m iles of heavy copper rubber insu
lated cable was installed under
ground.
The w aterfall, which has seven
separate falls im its 266 foot descent,
is lighted by 28 large floodlights
with alternating white and color ef
fects. The crystal clear trout pool
at the foot of the falls is lighted
by eight underw ater lights, reveal
ing the rainbow trout gliding about
in its depths.
The m agnificent w eather beat
en pink granite walls of the
canyon, which rise to a height of
m ore than 2,000 feet, present
countless shadow effects as the
lights play upon them . Various
rock form ations, such as the
“ Setting Turkey,” Devil’s
Slide” and “W restling B ears,”
are spotlighted by 500 to 1,500
w att lights.
M ajestic pine trees on the banks
of the splashing m ountain stream
aTe bathed in various colored flood
lights, while others are sprinkled
with colored lights. Standing as a sen
tinel at the entrance of the canyon
are the fam iliar “Pillars of Her
cules.” It is at this point that the
huge $10,000 anti-aircraft carbon
arc light has been installed. The
big light has eight million candle-
power and shoots an effective beam
five m iles in the air. The Lone
some Pine, Eagles Cliff and other
features of interest are caught in its
bright path. It also will be used to
sweep the sky to indicate that Sev
en Falls is now under lights.
As a final touch, a 90 w att sound
amplifier system has been installed
to play soft music.
Al G. Hill, Dallas, Tex., oil m an,
who purchased the 1,400 acre scenic
attraction June I, 1946, im m ediate
ly began a program of improve
m ents which have taken m ore than
a year to complete and ‘have cost
approxim ately $100,000. In addition
to the lighting project, a stairw ay
of 250 steps has been erected to a
spectators’ platform on the south
wall of the canyon from which point
all Seven Falls can be seen at one
tim e. P art of a m ountain slope was
removed by bulldozers to provide
parking space for cars, and a grace
ful arch has been erected over the
roadway at the mouth of the canyon.
The canyon, approxim ately one
m ile in length is a “ box” or
dead end type. Before the com
ing of the white m an, the Indi
ans stam peded herds of buffalo
from the plains into the canyon
w here they then were killed as
food was needed. The canyon
also served as a strategic re
treat from which the Indians
fought off their enem ies.
At the top of the falls lies a pic
turesque valley with m any sm all
w aterfalls and shady rocks. A short
hike takes the visitor to Dispiration
Point, which is 1,500 feet above the
floor of the canyon. From this point,
a breathtaking panoram a of m ighty
cliffs and distant plains is seen. The
beauty of Inspiration Point inspired
Helen Hunt Jackson to w rite some
of her m ost fam ous books and
poem s; and, on her death in 1885,
her last request w as that she be
buried there. ......

I n R e m o t e A r e a
PORTLAND, ORE.—The lonely
existence of the scattered fam ilies
living in the rem ote fastness of
Siskiyou national forest no longer
will be relieved by periodic visits
from the m ule-driving postman.
The mule-pack postal route be
tween the isolated towns of Illahe
and M arial, near G rants Pass, has
been term inated by the government
because the carrier, who has a
monopoly on m ules, subm itted too
high a bid.
The action leaves only one
route served the year around by
m ules although 12 others are
served by m ule and horse dur
ing the storm y winter months.
Residents of the rem ote m ountain
areas served by the m ule routes do
their shopping through the m ail or
der catalogues and depend upon
m ule packs for everything—cloth
ing, accordions, rifles, even food,
according to Fred H. Twohy, rail
road m ail district superintendent
who has spent 10 years traveling
the m ountain regions to check on
his mule postmen.
“One winter not even a horse
could get through the heavy snows,”
Twohy recalls. “The residents were
shut off from the world, and there
was quite a squawk.”
Obliging postm en resorted to
sleds to reach the isolated
areas, Twohy adds, “ and the
first thing the people ordered by
parcel post was several cases
of beer.”
The M arial route was typical of
the involved carrier setup required
to get m ail to secluded areas. Mail
went 34 m iles up a river in a flat-
bottomed river boat from Wedder-
bum . Then it was transferred to
m ule for an additional 16-mile trip.
It was “kind of expensive,” Two
hy adm its, costing about $400 a per-,
son to keep the route open. “The
stam ps don’t begin to pay for it,”
he adds.
“I have a hard time convincing
them back in Washington that these
routes are worth the expense,” Two
hy says.
Bombing Proves of Peacetime Use
HELENA, MONT. — Bombing
techniques which wreaked havoc on
enem y cities and m ilitary installa
tions during the w ar also have
proved effective in saving valuable
tim berlands of the northwest
through control of forest fires from
the air involving spraying w ater
from planes.
In a special test, conducted joint
ly by the forest ® rvice-and arm y
air forces, a B-29 and two P-47s suc
cessfully dropped ' seven w ater
j bombs on a fire deliberately set
1 near Lolo Hot Springs in Lolo na
tional forest.
After the w ater bombs had been
dropped with accuracy near one set
blaze, splashing w ater over the
burning area and practically bring
ing the fire under control, two
forest service jum pers parachuted
out of a forest service plane to do
the mop-up work. Their tools and
a hot lunch also w ere dropped from
the plane.

High Point.—Elliott Wood, pre
sident and general manager of the
Heritage Furniture Company here,
has announced the company will
transfer its local table manufac
turing operations to a new plant
in Mocksville, which will employ
200 persons.
“We have been unable to find
a suitable location for a new table
plant here and were forced to
transfer our operations to take
care of the company’s expansion
program.” he said. Heritage will
continue to maintain its large up
holstery manufacturing operations
and executive offices here, Mr.
Wood added.
The new plant in Mocksvdle
has a floor space of 60,000 equare
feet and has enough land for fu
ture expansion and recreation fa
cilities, he said.
The 75 workers in the plant,
located on English Street, are be
ing urged to continue with the
company, Wood said, and all com
pany benefits including insurance
and bonuses will be carried over.
A compensation plan to cover
travel expenses to aud from the
plant in Mocksville until perman
ent housing can be found is being
arranged by the company’s person
nel department, Wood said.
The facilities at the table plant
here do not provide for railroad
sidings, lumber yards and dry
kilns which are necessary for the
company’s expansion program,Mr.
Wood said.

A t o m - B o r n C i t y
U n d e r g o e s B o o m
Taxes, Crime No Worry for
Workers Who Plan to
Build Great City.
RICHLAND, WASH.—Looking for.
w ard to its first postwar expansion
boom, the town that the atom built
expects to retain m uch of the in
dividuality that m akes it the unique
“ village” of the Pacific Northwest.
General Electric company an
nounced an expansion in the pluto
nium-producing Hanford Engineer
works, as well as plans for additions
to this war-born community.
Richland is home to m ost of the
workers who produce the elem ent
which was vital for the bombs that
hit Nagasaki and Hiroshima two
years ago.
Richland shares a common prob
lem with other newly grown indus
trial communities in its need for
m ore homes and hospital facilities.
Claims to Distinction.
These are some of this four-year-
old atom ic city’s claim s to distinc
tion:
It never has had a death in the
potentially dangerous industrial
plants in which the populace works,
nor has there been any recorded in
jury from radioactivity.
It claim s the nation’s highest birth
rate (despite the once ugly rum ors
' of radioactive elem ents m ight have
on fam ily life).
There is no juvenile delinquency
problem.
For the approximately 16,000 pop
ulation, there is a lone beer tavern,
one automobile dealer, one general
store, four service ' stations, five
grocery stores—and there isn’t any
hard liquor for sale either by the
bottle or the glass. (There are state-
operated liquor stores in nearby
towns.)
There are no real estate taxes.
There is no m ayor or elected town
council.
No Police Court.
There isn’t so m uch as a police
court or a lawyer in town.
The two-cell city jail never has
held a civilian prisoner.
There’s no worry for household
ers about what color to paint their
hom es; it’s all done for them —with
out consultation on their own color
tastes.
The town adm inistrators launched
a city-wide program of painting ev
ery home and building in varied
blending colors (there has been
som e eyebrow-raising over how pea
green slipped in under the guise of
harm ony).
For operating the town and seven
atomic plants of the Hanford Engi
neer works, General Electric re
ceives (in addition to all costs) a
fee of $1 from the government.
Federal Tax Receipts Are
Short Billion and Half
WASHINGTON.—Federal tax col
lections in fiscal 1947 fell $1,563,-
711,000 below the previous fiscal
year because of heavy loss of rev
enue from the repealed excess prof
its tax, treasury records showed.
However, the yield from income
taxes reached new peaks.
The excess profits tax yield
slowed to a com parative trickle of
belated paym ents since last Janu
ary. It was down by $4,256,310,000
for fiscal 1947, but increased, collec
tions from income and other taxes
helped cushion the effect on Treas
ury receipts.
Total receipts of the internal rev
enue bureau from all sources were
listed as $39,108,385,000. (From sur
plus property sales, customs duties
and some other sources the govern
m ent got supplem entary receipts
that boosted its total budget income
to $43,037,798,000.)
Income tax collections, both from
individuals and corporations were
up sharply to record highs, reflect
ing booming business and employ
ment.
Individual income tax receipts
reached $19,343,297,000, topping fis
cal 1946 by $638,761,000 although the
tax rate was lowered January I
1946, midway in the earlier year.
Not One Piano Tuner in
Hundred Gan Play Piano
DETROIT— Five hundred piano
tuners with a yen to sing had to
scout through a hotel to find som e
one who could play.
The situation forced delegates to
the convention of the American So
ciety of Piano Technicians to bare
a horrible truth: ;
Not one in a hundred tuners
knows enough about music to put
one note after another!
The society’s m em bers, who were

Japanese Scienfisf Tells
Discovery of Cancer Virus
TOKYO. — Dr. Ryoujun Kino-
sfiita, a Japanese scientist, claimed
in Tokyo the discovery of the isola
tion of a tiny cancer virus which,
m ight speed the search for a com
plete cancer cure.
Dr. Kinoshita said he had dis
covered the cancer virus in m am
m als, a discovery he said which
might prove that cancer was n&t
hereditary but was transm issible.
He added that if a method of sup
pression of the multiplication of the
tiny cancer virus was found, cancer
would be controllable.

Budget Tointers
KUDGET
There’s a tendency to go along
with the crowd when it comes to
spending money,
e s p e c i a l l y on
food, instead of
seeing what can
be done to stretch
the food dollar.
Getting the m ost
_ out of the food
dollar does not, fortunately, m ean
that we have to tighten our belts;
it just m eans a bit of m aneuvering.
In the m idst of soaring food costs,
there’s plenty of help for the woman
who w ants it, and today’s recipes
are designed to give you plenty of
food for thought. Give your fam ily
a change of menu, and give the
budget a chance to stay within its
lim its at the sam e tim e.
There are several general rules to
follow: Buy wisely; don’t overbuy
and let food go to w aste; serve and
cook w hatever you have properly,
and don’t toss away good left
overs.
For.-m ain dishes you can call on
good quality proteins for front line
duty; they’re cheaper than the ex
pensive cuts of m eat and do just
as much for you.

Cultivating Good Will
LESSON TEXT FOR SEPTEMBER 1 4 -
Proverbs 3:30. 31: 15:1. 18: 23:24. 25; 25:18.
21, 22; 26:20, 21; Matthew 5:9; Jam es 3:17.
MEMORY SELECTION—Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
children of God.—Matthew 5:9.

TT IS true that the Christian life
1 gives offense on occasion. When
a controversy exists between m en
and God, the Christian has no other
course of action than to align him
self on God’s side. AS he takes
his stand in such cases, he should
do it in love, but nevertheless with
firmness.
The Bible nowhere comm ends a
critical spirit or a perverse attitude.
It rather em phasizes the necessity
of firmness in the course of right,
a firm ness that loses nothing of its
intensity- through being tem pered in
the fires of love.
The Christian beyond all others
should give him self to a life m ani
festing sym pathy, kindness and
charitableness. Thus he will open
avenues of opportunity, of wit
ness, and of service in which the
Lord m ay be greatly magnified. *
I. Contributing Factors to the
M arring of Good Will (Prov. 3:30,
31; 22:24, 25 ; 25:18; 26:20, 21).
VARIANCE and strife m ar good
will (Prov. 3:30, 31). Notice that
this strife is unoccasioned. When
we strive with m en to no purpose;
when m en have not harm ed us, and
with bitterness of spirit we turn
upon them , we of course forfeit ev
ery opportunity to influence them
for good.
The m an of variance sim ilarly
should be passed by. We are not
to em ulate him ; we are not to
envy him ; we are to choose none
of his ways.
A wrathful spirit also m ars good
will (Prov. 22:24, 25). A m an of
anger is not to be followed by the
child of God. This passage enjoins
us to have no friendship with such
that we shall learn their ways and
their ways will then be a snare to
our souls.Another way m which we mar
good will is to be the purveyors of
untruth (Prov. 25:18). The false wit
ness is characterized as a large
hammer or a sword or a sharp ar
row, for he wounds his neighbor,
often grievously.
The m an or the woman who in
gossip has maliciously wounded
another loses all opportunity to
influence him for God. The culti
vation of good will involves the
speaking of truth.
Let us with all diligence, with
the help of God, banish from our
hearts and m inds all of these
attitudes which hurt and m ar.
II. Contributing Factors to the
Making of Good Will.
IN THE first place, the soft answer
of the controlled spirit will estab
lish good will (Prov. 15:1, 18). The
soft answ er does turn aw ay w rath.
The m an who is slow to anger ap
peases strife.
Let us not confuse a soft answer
with an tmconvinclng one, or with
that mealy-mouthed procedure
that we commoniy call double
talk. Happy is that man who
knows how to present the truth
convincingly, who can make men,
despite his opposing standards,
understand that he has their good at heart. Of course, there is one
absolute requisite to such a tes
timony, and that is a life wholly
lived for God.
Another factor in m aking good will
is the act of kindness (Prov.
25:21, 22). This passage, you will
rem em ber, is quoted in Rom ans 12.
H ere is the opportunity for us, in
all m atters of personal injury, to
place our case in the hands of God
rather than to seek revenge. By
such acts of kindness, as we trust
God, we shall be obeying the Lord;
and who knows but that our ene
m ies m ay thus be turned to him.
A third contributing factor in
m aking good will is that of m aking
peace (M att. 5:9). So often this
business of attem pting to m ake
peace is a thankless task, but that
thanklessness is only from hum an
sources. So far as God is con
cerned, he has placed his seal of
approval upon every child of his
who seeks to lead m en into peacewith God and to make peace be
tween men.
God speaks of them as being
“called” sons of God. It is one
thing to be a son of God; it is an
other thing to be acknowledged as
a son of God.
III. The Source of Good Will
(Jam es 3:17).
T -vHAT wisdom will be character-
I ized by purity, peaceableness,
gentleness, a p p ro a c h a b le n e s s ,
m ercy, and will be without par
tiality and without hypocrisy. This
wisdom which is from above is
guaranteed to those who know
him who has been m ade unto os
wisdom (I Cor. 1:30).

Tim e was when it was fashionable
for everyone to talk, about big busi
ness and' count over the gross and
net sins of corporations. Of course,
there were mighty good stories even
then about our steadily rising stand
ards of living. But the busybodies
didn’t bother with those success
stories, big or little.
I have said that America is now
beginning to assum e her task in pub
lic relations, that of selling her ways
and her freedoms and her institu-
( tions to people everywhere. I should
like to say that some of our groups
and institutions have special respon
sibilities in this job. I think that
labor does, as well as business. The
task is im portant to agriculture, to
tradesm en, to education, to the
professions, and to civic minded
folks in every walk. Certainly, la
bor and industry are each so im
portant in our economic system,
that they m ust be interested in re
awakening the people to an appre
ciation of America.
A Report to Workers
I should, like to tell you about a
company that is doing its part, there
by shouldering its responsibility for
this kind of public re-education.
Somebody sent me a copy of a re
port this company m akes to* its
employees. The report answers
questions employees want to know.
The answers are frank, fair, and
simply stated. There is no doubt
the report has m ade its readers bet
ter informed Americans. It did so
to me.
It takes $7,507 worth of capital to
give a person a job in this company.
Naturally, there would be no jobs
for their 3,951 people if it were not
for this $29,660,626. Shareholders
who put up this money out of what
they earn and save, hope to get “a
fair rental” for their money. These
folks, the report tells us, are capi
talists—“ and so are you!” Because
we own our possessions, we are
"capitalists” and this is a “capital
ist” country.
Why Make a Profit?
"We have a ‘capitalist’ industry
in the United States because millions
. . . use part of their ‘capital’ to
own and operate the most produc
tive farm s, stores, mines, and fac
tories on this earth. And that is the
reason why we, as a people, have
the highest standard of living of any
nation in the world. No other sys
tem in any country, at any time,
by any other m eans has ever pro
duced so much for so m any at such
little cost as our ‘capitalist’ busi
ness does in Am erica.”
The company sry= frankly that it
m ade money in 1946—about seven
and one-half cents on every dol
lar’s worth of products sold. While
this record is term ed a narrow m ar
gin that calls for economy all along
the line, the report m akes it plain
that the company expects to keep
on making money. All this, midst
healthy competitors that cause them
to keep putting out better products
for less money, Tribute is paid to
the keen competition they m eet as
an effective price regulator.
“A company that can’t make
money is like a ship that can’t float.
Neither is safe for you and your
family. A company m ay lose money
for a short time, just as a ship may
spring a leak and take in water for
a short time, but if the losses and
the leak can’t be stopped soon, the
ship sinks and the company goes out
of business. Passengers on the ship
that sinks and employees of the com
pany that fails are victims of disas
ter.”

Many oi the berry family will go
into jars without sugar at all and
keep perfectly for later use. If you
want to be famous for delicious
blueberry or huckleberry muffins,
canning without sugar is preferred.
To can blueberries or huckleberries
for use in muffins, place two or three
quarts of cleaned iierries in a square
of cheesecloth. Gcther up the corn
ers of the cloth and allow the ber
ries to dip into boiling water until
spots appear on the cloth. Then dip
quickly in and out of cold water.
Pack into hot Ball jars. Add neither
sugar nor liquid. Proccss 20 min-
y 12all iirus. Co.
utes in hot water bath.
Other berries, except strawberries
and red raspberries should be heated
slowly until the juice runs free be
fore being placed in jars for pro
cessing. If sugar is short in your
household, can any berries by pro
cessing 10 minutes in hot water bath
after cleaning, crushing, and stew
ing them in their own juice. If you
have sugar, jams will, of course, use
less of your supply than preserves.
When you are using corn sirup ai
part of the sugar required, remem
ber to cook the jam a little longer,
in small batches, and stir often.

The pear crop seldom seems to
fail and may be ieiied upon by home
canners to provide summer fruits
for winter tables. To break the
monotony of plain canncd pears the
universally used Ball Blue Book on
home canning suggests some tasty
variations. Orange pears may be
made by using the juice end rir.d
of one-half orange to each quart
of sirup. Remove the orange rind
before packing the pe.-tra into jars.
To make cinnamon pears use two or
— 1‘uoto courtesy Uall ttro# Co*
three tablespoons of 44Ued Ilot.s” to
er.ch quart of sirup, or use stick
cinnamon and a few drops of ted
coloring. Giiiirer pears are mad« by
using ginger tea (water in which
ginger root is boiled) instead of
plain water for making sirup. Use
pineapple juice instead of water for
the sirup to nvtke pineapple pears.
For plum pears use tart, red plum
juice instead of water* for making
the sirup. These variations are sure
to “hit the spot” with your family.

If circumstances seem quite had
Aud you don't know what to do;
If Satan tries to run vou n n d .
O r m ake yon aw fully blue;
If everything is going wrong
A nd it seem s nobody cares.
Just sing some good soul-cherring
song
And breathe some earnest prav-
ers.
I’ve traveied some on this same
path
And know its ins and outs;
I'v e felt old S ita n ’s blows ntirl

But praise the L ord, I'm glad t<>

Altboiifth one’s spirit wails,
When to our God we humbly pray
He uever, never fails.
O glory to His holy name,
H e drives old S atan back.
When we are wounded, weak and
lame.
And well nigh off the track;
For when He hears His children
call,
Though feeble he our cry,
He comes to rescue one all
Lest we should faint and die;
Then don’t despair, O feeble oue,
And cast your faith away.
But seek God’s help that yon may

Life’s race from day to day;
That yon mny reach a blessed goal
Beyond this world of strife.
Where glories never cease to roll
Along the Stream of Life.

Controls
There’s one thing that should be
forever elmininated from the pow-
ers of oar federal government: the
authority to impose price controls
of any kind upon manufacturers,
johbers, wholesalers or retailers.
In connection with that state
ment you may feel like saying
But why? Isn’t price control of
great benefit to many people?"
Unquostionable it is. Welll even
go so far as to admit that the bene,
fits of price control are far greater
than any shortcomings which the
system may have.
Why, then, be so vigorous in
urging that it all be done away
with?
Because it has no part or plaqe in
a democratic form of government
except when there is some great
national emergency in effect—like
a war, Just because a thing may
be "good” is no justification for
setting it up as an authority of our
federal government. There un.
doubtedly are many ‘‘good things’’
about a monarchial form of gov
ernment or even about Communism,
but we don’t want any part of
them.
The people who are least govern-
ep. That statement was made dur
ing the early days of onr national
history. It still holds good. In re
cent years we have departed far
from it, and we haven't improved
our condition a bit. We ought to
do our best to get back to it; per
haps not all the way, but to some
extent at least.—The State.

B y B A U K H A G ENews Analyst and Commentator,
WASHINGTON.— Moses Smith, I understand, has retired.
He is leaving the 140 acres he has been farming for 27 years. His
landlord’s widow and her son are going to work it from now on.
The last time I saw Moses Smith he was dressed in his
Sunday clothes. We were both up in his former landlord’s
bedroom, with some of the neighbors. It was a sad occasion. It was the
boss’ birthday anniversary but he had been dead nearly two years. The
room looked the sam e to Moses and his friends who had seen it often whew
they cam e up there to talk over farm and other business. The form er occu
pant’s dressing gown was lying on the bed, his slippers w ere by the
couch. The boss was one of the landlords that tenants like. Moses told m e
that, five years before, when I visited him at his white-painted farm house.
“I’ve rented from him for 22 <S ----------------------
years (that was 1941),” he told m e
then, “ and he
has yet to find a
fault. W henever
he gets a chanqe
he com es over
here to say ‘hel
lo’ and ‘goodbye’
but he doesn’t
find fault. And
I’ve m ade mis
takes, too. No
body is perfect.”
T he la n d lo rd
h a d a pretty
good opinion of
the tenant, too,
a s I learned
later. S m ith
knew that and
was pleased, but it didn’t go to his
head. He is a typical, independent,
self-respecting up-state New York
farm er. I rem em ber he said to m e
that day, sitting on the front stoop,
in 194I:—
“ The President drove over here
a little wljile back, with Princess
Juliana. He told her about this
house being over 100 years old and
I told him about the well-water. It
had gone bad. So he said go ahead
and dig a new well.” .Smith and I
walked over to the new well. It was
100 feet deep. " It will last 100
years,” said Smith with the pride
you find up that way in good things
that last.
By this tim e yon have guessed
that Smith w as a tenant on the
Roosevelt estate at Hyde Park,
N. I . I take it he is a comfort
ably retired farm er now, living
in the nearby village of the
sam e nam e. Atad M rs. Eleanor
Roosevelt and her son, Elliott,
have taken over. I don’t know
who will live in the farm house.
The old Roosevelt hom estead is
a m useum now—hut the Roose
velts have other dwellings.
They are going in for com m ercial
farm ing, Mrs. R. said. Elliott hadn’t
been interviewed since the senate
w ar investigating com mittee start
ed looking into the Hughes airplane,
and ended looking the other way
and blushing. The testim ony had a
lot to do with the night club—cock-
tail-lounge side of young Roose
velt’s activities but nobody could
find a hole in his w ar record. Even
his m any critics adm it that. *
Elliott’s friends are heaving sighs
of relief to hear that he is going in
for something constructive. W ar
takes a lot of courage and skill, too,
but it isn’t very constructive. Nei
ther is night life.
“This is a challenge,” Mrs.
Roosevelt explained in her col
um n, “which Elliott and I will
enjoy.” Every farm er knows
she’s right about the “ chal
lenge.”
They aren’t going to try to raise
wheat, corn, potatoes, or attem pt to
keep 14 cows, as Smith was doing
when I visited him. They are going
to continue raising Christm as trees,
a venture which the late President
started and seriously pursued for
several years. Smith’s 140 acres,
which were devoted to generai
farm ing, are only a fraction of the
m ore than 1,000 acres, much of
which is wooded, and part of which
has been devoted to a scientif
ically - cultivated evergreen crop,
which m ake up the estate.
M rs. Roosevelt explained that she
and her son couldn’t afford to keep
the estate as a country place, as her
mother-in-law had.
I noticed that the New York Her-
ald-Tribune m ade editorial note of
Mrs. Roosevelt’s plans and m en
tioned that a lot of acres along the
Hudson “were untilled.”
It mentioned that Dr. Samuel
Bard, a wealthy retired physician,
ha'd a place not far from the Roose
velt estate where he carried on val
uable experim ents which m ade an
im portant contribution to agricul
ture. Mrs. Roosevelt hopes to con
duct sim ilar experim ents.
“If M rs. Roosevelt,” says the
Herald-Tribune, “does no m ore than
fasten rem em brance on the fact
that land endures . . . that stability
of farm ing is that of a renewable
world in which seedtim e and har
vest are still m ore lasting than dy
nasties and dictators . . . the new
farm ing partnership will have done
much of value before the first fur
rows are turned.”
I wonder if you feel the way I
do. I think, regardless of the
color of one’s political senti
m ents, anybody who loves the
soil can offer his w ell. wishes ,
to this venture with the hope
that the young m an will do as
well with his hands in the earth
as he did with his plane in the
T r a g e d y i n t h § F o r e s t s
It was a coincidence that while I
was rem iniscing on the subject of
the Roosevelts’ new adventure in
tree-growing, m y neighbor in the
building across the street presented
m e with a couple of typewritten
pages containing some striking
facts about tree destruction. They
are apropos, I think, now, as we
move toward the close (we hope) of
the worst season of forest fires In a
decade.
This period of holocausts began
before the ink was dry on bills
passed by congress m aking deep
slashes in the interior departm ent’s
appropriations for fire control.
Many of the cuts later were re
stored, but not in tim e to save thou
sands of acres of tim ber in some
areas of Am erica, notably Alaska.
“The saw tim ber burned in a
single year in this country,”
says my friend’s memorandum,
“ would be sufficient, if convert
ed to building m aterials, to re
place every private house in the
cities of New Orleans or Min
neapolis.
“If the wood below sawtim ber di

workers and three-quarters of a bil
lion dollars worth of wood products.
“ The tragic part of a ll this is
that 9 out of 10 forest fires conld
be prevented. Nine our of 10
are traceable to hum an causes
—to incendiarists, causing more
than 25 per cent of all fires; to
sm okers, careless debris-burn-
ers, railroads, cam pers and
woodsworkers who are respon
sible in the or£?r nam ed.”
Well, those are the sentim ents of
m y neighbor, who is trying to
establish a “balanced cooperation”
among the m en who m ake tbeir
money out of trees, one way or an
other, the people and the birds and
the bugs who need to have trees,
and the governm ent and others who
try to protect and preserve them .
One non-cooperating m atch tosser
can undo a lot of his work.

Mutual Defense
James Monroe, fifth President of the United States, bad bfc say, in spirit, at least, at the inter-American defense conference at Petropolis, Brazil, in August,
1947.
When the conference agreed on a
m utual aid treaty for North and
South Am erica and their territorial
w aters, and set up a vast, North
Pole-South Pole hem ispheric secu
rity zone, the celebrated Monroe
doctrine was developed to its log
ical conclusion 124 years after its
inception.
This was the burden of the Mon
roe doctrine in 1823: “It is only
when our rights are invaded or se
riously menaced that we resent in
juries or m ake preparations for our
defense . . . in this hem isphere . . . ”
Today, the Am ericas are making
preparations for hem ispheric de
fense in advance of any m enace
or invasion of their rights. The mu
tual defense treaty embodies three
m ain points:
1. In the case of arm ed attack
from outside the hem isphere,
all nations have the autom atic
right to m eet the attack with
m ilitary m easures.
2. If m ilitary attack occurs in
side the hem isphere, American
nations m ay go voluntarily to
the -aid of the victim , with con
sultations to follow.
3. If attacks occur both inside
the hem isphere and outside the
security region, im m ediate con
sultations will be called.
Thus, despite the opposition of
some Latin Am erican nations to the
U. S.-espoused “Monroe doctrin
ism ,” it appeared certain that the
“hands off the A m ericas” policy
w as in for a big revival in the atom
ic age.

Corn Declines
Therm om eter-happy Americans,
struggling feebly in the moist
clutches of a record heat wave,
could take cold com fort from the
fact that tem peratures w ere being
exceeded in height only by the price
of corn.
With abnorm ally hot w eather pre
vailing over m ost of the nation,
grains continued to deferiorate from
lack of m oisture and prices of both
corn and oats hit new record highs.
Septem ber corn was selling at $2.45
a bushel and Septem ber oats
zoomed to $1.08%,
The grain m arket prices went
through the roof following a depart
m ent of agriculture report that the
country’s heat-seared corn crop
would produce only 2,437,000,000
bushels, -a 223 million bushei drop
from the Ajigust I estim ate.
Although agriculture departm ent
officials had hoped earlier this
year for a 3 billion bushel corn
crop to keep food production high,
weeks of hot, dry winds shrivelled
that hope, and the corn crops of
Iowa and Illinois, m ajor producing
sections, continued to decline stead
ily.
IN WASHINGTON . . . John Samp
son Kirby, 69, (above) of Tennessee
was placed under observation after
police had nabbed him packing a
pistol in the capitol building and de
claiming loudly that he had “just
been elected president of the United
States.”
IN NEW XORE . . . Virginia Wal
ton Brooks, 14, just returned from
an African hunting trip with her
parents, proudly revealed that she
had shot not only an elephant and
a lion but also such esoteric crea
tures as a kongoni, two gerenuks,
an oryx, a bat-eared fox, an im-
pala, two dil^-diks and a klipspring-

SAY UNCLE:
Ford Gives Up
Abandoning his laudable, if non
conforming, efforts to stabilize auto
mobile prices, Henry Ford II an
nounced that prices on “m ost mod
els” of Ford passenger cars and all
truck models would be boosted from
$20 to $97, effective im m ediately.
It was an average increase of 4.2
per cent, the announcem ent said,
the rise being dictated by “the sim
ple necessity of keeping Ford Motor
company on a sound economic
basis.”
The action, following price in
creases by virtually every other au
tomotive m anufacturer, m arked the
defeat of Ford’s lonely stand
against the forces of inflation.
All this gave rise to a disturbing
question: If the Ford dynasty is un
able to hold the line against infla
tion, what, if anything, can?
T H E SW IFT :
Oysters Lose
Oysters simply aren’t fast enough
to get away from predatory snails
whose pace has been clocked offi
cially at .00363005 miles an hour.
Plodding along on a treadm ill at
the University of M aryland fish and
wildlife laboratory, a test snail cov
ered 22 feet and % inch in 11 -hours
and 30 m inutes — a pace swift
enough, at least, to overtake an
oyster.
Purpose of the laboratory’s snail-
timing experim ents is to slow the
little creatures up even more. As
things stand now, they’re doing too
much dam age to Chesapeake Bay’s
oyster crop.
FIRST VICTIM
D e f l a t i o n a T h r e a t t o F a r m e r
Producers of farm commodities,
although strongly entrenched in the
present economy and apparently
destined to remain so, at least fo r
the im m ediate future, m ay be the
first group to feel the full im pact
of any reversal of the current in
flationary trend.
That warning was issued by fed
eral reserve board researchers in a
m idyear study of the position of
agriculture, indicating that, even in
flush tim es, the well-being of farm
ers is in a state of delicate balance.
If the present boom were to de
velop into a tailspin, price falls in
the agricultural commodity field
probably would be greater than in
other areas of the economy, the re
port points out. Record returns to
farm ers attributed to prosperous
urban consum ers and an alm ost un
limited demand from abroad could
be reversed in a flash.
The federal reserve board survey
explained the danger of deflation to
farm ers by citing three factors now
operating to keep prices high,
I The share of consumer incomes
• going to food consumption is
much larger than has been Ais-
tomary.
2 Profit m argins of producers and
• distributors are greater than
usual.
3 Speculative factors play an im-
* portant part in m aintaining
prices on num erous m arkets.
“Consequently, with any reversal
of inflationary tendencies, food
prices m ay be particularly subject
to downward pressures.”
While the financial position of
farmers has undergone a vast, gen
eral improvement as compared
with pre-war years, m any individ
ual farm ers have increased ih e ir
indebtedness, and the new debt is
w ritten on the basis of sharply ad
vanced values.
In particular, the report declared
that land values m ust start declin
ing before m uch longer. Thus, while
the farm er is enjoying a high level
of income and prosperity as a result
of the prevailing inflationary econ
omy, the sam e forces which are
now operating to his benefit appear
as a lurking but altogether possible
danger to his future security.

her he is using the nam e of Captain
Mnckey. Rtc m arries Sandra C al^rt, a
divorcee whom Richard ltnew to be of
had reputation. Sandra tells Jill she
wants $10,000. Captain Machey arrives,
telling JiU, who does not know who he
is, that he is tnhing Sandra to Ric.
Sandra suspects who he is but is afraid
of him, Rickard tells JiU to tell her
mother her "last lover” came to call.
Spang Gordon, whom Jill loves, is
grounded near the farm and tie couple
is reunited.
CHAPTER XXI
“Dooley gets a daugliter-in-law
iSvith no warning at all, and then
ioses her just as abruptly. We old
people can’t adjust ourselves to
changes in a minute, Jill," Dave
said.
“Could you stand the idea of get
ting a son-in-law in an awful hurry,
M rs. M cFarlane?” Spang inquired,
wistfully. “I’ve only got about fif
teen hours—m aybe not that long.”
Jill caught her breath with a jerk
and threw back her head.
“She can’t get a son-in-law unless
I get a husband,” she said, coolly,
■‘and certainly no one has ever
mentioned m arrying m e!”
“Could we be perm itted to retire
to some private spot while I con
vince this woman that I love her,
jVIrs.M cFarlane? ”
Tears brim m ed in Jill’s eyes.
"Oh, Spang—you mean—you do?
You mean you do want me? You
want to get married—now—to
m e?”
Spang took her elbow. “Come
along in here, stupid woman, and
I ’ll put it all into words of one syl
lable!”
“But how could I know if nobody
tells m e?” Jill dem anded, furious
ly, as he steered her out. “I thought
you never would—I practically hat
ed you—Oh, Spang. . . .”
Dave got up and shut the door,
then cam e back and tilled his pipe
again.
“A young m an has asked you for
your daughter’s, hand in m arriage,
Dooley,” Dave said presently, “or
did you hear him ?”
She turned then, and he saw the
taut grayness begin to go out of her
face, color was coming back into
her lips, her eyes w ere not enor
mous and anguished any more.
“He tried to save Ric, Dave,” she
said, “and he didn’t tell Jill who
he was. And Sandra knew.”
“Jill said that she m ade vague
threats.”
“This isn’t the end, Dave. Some
tim es I think there never will be
an end. There can’t be, while Rich
ard is alive. But he did try to save
his son. And he didn’t hurt Jill.”
“If Jill m arries this young chap,
Gordon, she’ll have other things to
think about. Even if the shock
com es it won’t stun her. You heard
her defending Richard, though she
had no idea he was anything but a
•casual stranger.”
“Yes,” said Julia, hoarsely, “but
if the revelation does come will she
defend me? Or will she be out
raged because I’ve deceived her?
And surely, Dave, they can’t be
thinking of being m arried—now?
She knows this lieutenant so casu
ally—she has seen him only three
tim es.”
“Now is all the tim e they have,
Dooley, rem em ber?"
She drew a long breath, and Dave
saw the rigid lines in her face soft
en. She hung up the dish towel and
dried her fingers.
Wedding Plans
For Jill
“Call them , Dave,” she said. “If
w e’re having a wedding at Buz
zard’s Hill we have to m ake plans.”
“I’ll have to be m arried in these
greasy old pants,” Spang Gordon
sighed when they were in a huddle
around the kitchen table again. “I
didn’t bring any clothes because
■we expected to be back at base this
m orning. And I can’t appear out of
uniform , even at my own wedding.”
“I’ll wear some overalls, Spang,”
Jill volunteered, blithely. She was
sparkling all over now, her hair
w as as alive as something quick
ened by a galvanizing current, her
eyes danced, even the gilt freckles
on her nose twinkled. “And a ban
dana around m y head, and the bride
will carry a bouquet of pig’s
knuckles tied with spinach.”
“You’ll do nothing of the sort,”
declared Julia. “You’ll have a bou
quet, and Dave will ransack the
arm y store in the morning to find
some things for Spang to wear, and
we'll even have a wedding-cake.
“There won’t be any arch of
swords,” Spang rem inded Jill.
“ You won’t even have a wedding
m arch. But you’ll have m e.”
“Briefly.” Jill’s mouth quivered
for an instant, then tightened again
to the sm ile she had been keeping
fast. She said, “I’ll w ear my faille
and m y little turban, and Grandfa
th er will give m e away, and Dooley
will weep, knowing all the tim e that
•she’ll get m e back again in a couple
of hours and have m e on her hands
for the duration. You’d better get
a little sleep, Spang. I’d hate to
have my bridegroom pass out on
.me between ‘Dearly beloved’ and
‘I do.’ ”
“ You could use a few winks your
self. You want to be on the alert,
you know, when I bestow all my
worldly goods upon you. You want
to be sure you aren’t getting
gypped.”
Julia heard it all with a little in
w ard pang. Richard should be here
to give his daughter away! Richard
had seen her now, he knew what he
had thrown aside, what he had lost.
Whatever he had done, however
he had justified himself, Richard
was having his reckoning now.
Jill did not see the paper next
day.
There was too much excitement.
Dave got on the telephone and
wangled a forty-hour leave for Lieu
tenant Gordon from his command
ing officer, and Julia came down
from the attic, her arms full of tis
sue paper and wisps of stuff.
“I’ve planned since you were five
months old to have you come down
these stairs to be m arried, Jill,”
she said. “I’ve seen you, in my
“ Oh Spang—you m ean—you do?”
dream , reflected in the m irrors, with
a veil drifting around your hair.
I was m arried in a street dress,
with a hobble skirt and a dreadful
hat that dropped clear down over
m y ears, but my m other had ele
gance and orange blossoms. If this
dress isn’t too yellow and brittle—
if you can squeeze into it—we can
press it carefully, and it isn’t too
Victorian, not so terribly diiferent
from some of the Godeyish things
they’re wearing now.”
John I. Catches
A Bouquet
“Satin,” breathed Jill, fingering
the heavy folds of the sweeping
train. “I never dream ed you’d let
m e w ear this, Dooley. And real lace
on the veil! Let me try it on! Oh,
I’m so glad we don’t have to rush
things so Spang can get away. I’ll
be really m arried! Look at all the
million little hooks! They certainly
had patience in those days! Doo
ley, with the sash let out a little, it
will m eet here at the -belt!
So Jill cam e down the M cFarlane
stairs in her grandm other’s wed
ding gown, and Lieutenant Spencer
Gordon, Army Air Corps, stood at
the foot of the stairs waiting for
his bride in a new pair of khaki
trousers a trifle too long and a khaki
skirt with sleeves a little too short,
but there was worship in his face,
and at the bottom Jill smiled at him
dizzily.
.There were the few hastily as
sembled guests and the old, old
tune played by some volunteer on
the piano. They ate ice-cream andMamie’s hastily baked wedding
cake, the icing s till slightly drippy,
they drank toasts in John I.’s cham
pagne, and then it was over and
J ill was flying down the stairs
again in her faille suit, her hat
in her hand, and stopping to toss
her bouquet over the ra il.
John I. caught it and looked a
little bewildered and em barrassed
as Jill went into hysterics of laugh
ter at'him , so he poked it abruptly
at the nearest woman and fled,
Then Jill and Spang were rattling
away in the old station-wagon,
bound for the m ountain inn only a
few miles away w here they would
spend their brief and precious tim e
together.
The last guest departed, Dave be
gan putting chairs in their places
and blowing out candles, John I.
pulled off his necktie and hunted for
his old pipe, and Julia went out on
the porch and dropped into a chair,
sighing with w eariness and sliding
her feet out of the tight, high pumps
she had worn.
Richard Pays an
Overdue Debt
John I. cam e out, dragged a
m atch down the bricks of the wall,
giving her a sidelong, guilty look
when the m atch left a brown m ark.
“Forgot the paper,” he m uttered
when he had the pipe going. ' “Dang
w ar m ight be over, and we wouldn’t
know it.”
He trudged down the driveway,
picked up the paper where the boy
had thrown it, unrolled it, and
walked back across the lawn, stum
bling a little, reading the headlines.
Julia saw him stop and study the
paper for a m inute or two and then
come plunging on, walking headlong
into a spirea bush, and she told her
self that poor old John I. was
breaking fast, that all the excite
m ent of this past week had been too
much for him.
She was lost in reverie when John
I. struggled up to the porch, pant
ing, and laid the paper in her lap.
“There!” he gasped, pointing.
“Look there!”
It was not a big headline. But
it leaped from the paper and smote
Julia M cFarlane’s consciousness
like a blow.

Old John I. dropped into a chair
and was twisting his trem bling
hands together.
“Dooley, when he cam e here last
night I shook his hand. I'm so glad
now that I shook his hand!”
“I’m glad, too, John I.,” Julia
said, in a toneless voice.
She laid the paper down and
walked out across the grass, under
the high, ancient trees. She looked
at the thin autum n' sky and the
leaves that were already beginning
to turn a little.""''
“ G ood-by. Richard,” she said
softly. “ Good-by, my last lover!’'

WESTON, V T .-Walk into the Vermont Country Store here
and immediately you are transported back into grandfather’s
day. For the Country Store, housed in an ancient building with
hand-hewn rafters and with its shelves littered with an amaz
ingly heterogeneous display of goods,‘is an exact replica, of tha
1880 Vermont emporium. In structure, fixtures and merchan
dise, this unique country store mu-^ -------------------------------------
seum is typical of the general store
which grandfather knew in his
youth.
Although the present Vermont
Country Store dates back only to
June, 1946, its predecessor of the
sam e nam e originally w as founded
a t North Calais, Vt., in 1897 by
G ardner L. Orton. This store later
w as moved to Weston, and it was in
this sam e location that V rest Orton,
son of the founder, reopened the
old-fashioned cross-roads general
store in the sum m er of 1946.
Background of the store is au
thentic, m ost of the fixtures
coming from the store of the
original founder. Other fixtures
w ere presented by nearby Ver
m ont storekeepers interested in
the pro ject
While the building itself, con
structed in 1828, and the fixtures
are as old-fashioned as it is possible
to m ake them , the country store
m useum is not a dead, lifeless af
fair. On the old shelves and coun
ters Orton has stocked as varied a
display of goods as would have been
found Jn his father’s em porium a
half century ago.
The place is redolent of mingled
odors of spices, kerosene and cattle
feed, while dim lights are a re
m inder of long bygone days.
Revived also around the old,
high, wood-burning stove under
the hand-hewn rafters is the old
country store forum w here peo

The Verm ont Country Store is

ton's experim ent, in a day when the
stereotyped, chain-store, slot m a

policy of knowing thoroughly the
goods he was selling.
This type of store, Orton explains,
m akes it possible once again “for
people to enjoy the experience of
going into a store.”
N early 30,000 people visited the

Rural School Pupils
Pass Up Desserts
To Aid War Victims
NEWTOWN, PA,—As a m em orial
to alum ni who lost their lives in
W orld W ar II, pupils of George
rural school in Bucks county have
launched a project to aid pupils of
two G erm an schools. Recipients of
the aid are the G ertraudenschule, a
girls’ school in Berlin, and the
Jacobi gym nasium , a school for
boys a t Dusseldorf.
Pupils are voluntarily sacrificing
their m ealtim e luxuries to provide
food, clothing and other necessities
for the 800 Germ an school children.
Pennies saved by skipping ice
cream and dessert are contributed
to a special relief fund.
During the first six weeks of its
operation, the relief chest am ounted
to $1,319. Collections included regu
lar contributions as well as money
saved by giving up some item on
the menu.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. — Wher
you m utter “Moron!” at the drivel
who just m issed sideswiping youi
car, you m ay be tem porarily over-
rating him , it is indicated in traffic
fatality statistics assem bled bj
Northwestern National Life Insur
ance company. The vast m ajority
of our ghastly annual toll of auto
mobile accidents occurs when driv
ers are devoting only p art of theii
intelligence to driving, the reporl
emphasizes.
The m oron rates at from 50 to 7(
per cent of average hum an intelli
gence, the im becile level is between
25 and 50 per cent of average and
the idiot rates below 25 per cent.
Thus, the report points out,
when the driver of average in
telligence puts from a quarter
to one-half of his m ind on his
driving, and devotes one-half to
three-quarters of his brain to
conversation, scolding the chil
dren, listening to a quiz pro
gram or adm iring scenery, the
hazards are about the sam e as
if a m oron or submoron were
doing his very best a t the
wheel. An average m ind fogged
by alcohol m ay have its driv
ing capabilities actually a t the
im becile level.
The splendid safety records of th<
railroads and the airlines woulc
take a terrific nose dive, the report
suggests, if engineers and pilots
craned necks a t soenery—feminine
or otherwise—argued with wives,
necked with the girl friend or were
under the influence of alcohol, while
on duty.
Y et the m otorist constantly com
m its these driving stns, while airily
piloting his passengers without the
guidance of steel rails and through
traffic a hundred tim es as dense as
that of the railroads and the air
lanes.
A probable 24,000 lives could be
saved each year, the insurance
company estim ates, if all m otorists
could be convinced th at piloting an
autorpobile safely is a job worthy of
their best intelligence on a full-time
basis.

Future Teachers Instructed in Makeup.
NEW YORK. — Although it m ay
not solve the teacher shortage, the
City College of New York believes
it has taken a step in the right
direction by teaching students of
education how to dress, fix their
hair and m ake up their faces for
the classroom.
A series of lecture-dem onstrations
w as devoted to teaching the stu
dents how to look like, as well as
be, up-to-date teachers. To conclude
the series, students staged a style
show, modeling classroom and
other clothes for teachers.
In classroom clothes, one girl
m odeled an outfit suited to the
classical old m aid school teacher,
a black silk dress complete with
high lace collar. Other girls mod
eled softly tailored suits with ruf
fled blouse and tailored dresses con
sidered appropriate for the modern

A large number of people in
this section are interested in hav
ing a Davie County Fair next year.
For several years a fair was held
in Mocksville every fall at the
Masonic picnic grounds, but a
few years ago the fair was dis
continued. The last fair held here
some seven or eight years ago,
drew a large crowd with an at
tendance in one day of about
3,000 paid admissions. The ex
hibits were larger and better than
were found at much larger fairs.
We understand that there is
more than $800 on deposit in the
Bank of Davie, to the credit of
Davie Fair Association. The Re
cord is heartily in favor of a fair
for Davie in the fall of 1948.
Talk to vour neighbors a n d
friends about this matter and let’s
do something to restore our fair
of former years.

EXPERIENCED WAREHOUSEMEN Th AT ARE FRIENDS OF THE OLD BELT FARMERS
One of the World’s Largest Markets, we will have this season top buyers representing all domestic
and foreign companies. Competition means- extra money in your pocket.
The support price announced by your Government gives the Winston Salem Market 1947 a guaran
teed support price of approximately 40 cents a pound. This price on the various grades runs from
a low of 8 cents to a high of 68 cents.
This support price, set before any market opened, will remain the same until the last pouud is sold
and promises Winston-Salem tbe most uniform market in history.
Prevailing prices this season are just above the pegged price. No grade of tobacco can take a sub
stantial drop in price.
In’the past, we know that foreign buyers have purchased millions of pounds of Old Belt tobacco. -
The foreign situation might greatly improve by the time of the opening of our market, again per
mitting heavy purchases on the Winston-Salem market.
Quality counts in 1947! It will pay you as never before to grade carefully tobacco. Be sure to keep
green, dead or red tobacco out of your cigarrette grades. This will make it qualify for the highest
possible loan. v
Keep your tobacco dry and, by all means, remove all strings before grading it. Remember the

G uidance From Proverbs
Lesson for Septem ber 21, 1917
CA UR study of Sunday’s lesson
centers about the idea of good
ness, which is a rather trite-sound
ing them e, but very vital, I assure
you, and quite in
teresting. The
Scripture passages
are all found in
Proverbs, save one,
and that from the
very practical
preacher of the
N ew Testament,
Jam es, chapter 4,
verse 17.
Perhaps you will
find the passages
from Proverbs as
helpful and inter
esting as I did. It
will require but two m inutes to read
them—Proverbs 3:5-7; 4:23; 6:16-
19; 9:10; 14:34; 15:1; 16:18; 21:3;
22:1; 27:1, 2; 28:1; 29:18. And after
you have devoted two m inutes to the
reading of these passages, you will
have something to think about for
the rest of the day, the week, all
D r. Newton
your life,

One Man’s Experience
A VERY successful business m an
in Atlanta, a shoe m anufactur
er, was telling me his life story one
day as we fished together at Ho-
m osassa, Fla. Finally, he said:
“Do you know the passage in the
Bible that has m eant m ost to m e as
a rule and guide for m y faith and
practice?”
I wondered what he would say.
And then he quoted from Proverbs
3:5-7.
“ T rust in the Lord with all thine
heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding. In all thy ways
acknowledge him , and he shall
direct thy paths. Be not. wise in
thine own eyes; fear the Lord, and
depart from evil.”
* < *
The Essence of Goodness
"XXT-HAT is goodness? We talk
’ v about good m en and bad men,
good tim es and bad times, good luck
and bad luck. Just what is good
ness?
Jesus himself olice said to a young
man:
“There is none good but One, that
is, God.” M ark 10:18.
Goodness then, perm it m e to sug
gest, is what happens when God
lives in us. We can never know
goodness apart from God, try as we
m ay. The essence of goodness,
therefore, is found in that heart, in
that life, that sincerely prays, “Thy
wiU be done.”• * *
The Essence of Badness
GUIDANCE from these great
Proverbs identifies the things
that we are to shun as well as the
things we are to do—the essence of
badness as well as the essence of
goodness. Here are the seven
things that God hates—the seven
qualities of heart that constitute the
essence of badness:
“Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
bands that shed innocent blood, -a
heart that deliberately plans wick
edness, feet which are swift in run
ning to mischief, a false witness
who utters lies, and one who sows
discord among brethren.”
‘ Analyze these seven qualities of
heart, and you have the explanation
of the woes of the world. Many
clever modern books toy with these
deadly sins, trying to m ake them
seem good, but no amount of deco
ration can atone for the heart that
consistently entertains these can
cers of hell. „* * *
The Individual and Society
I LIKE the im pact of these Prov
erbs. They begin with the indi
vidual. They fruit in society. In
dividuals who “trust in the Lord
with all thine heart,” will “exalt a
nation.” It is not enough to put
better food in peoples’ stomachs,
Better clothes on their bodies, better
roofs over their heads. These are
essential as expressing the better
life; but you have got to give peo
ple something to live for as well as
something to live on.
Good business depends upon
good business m en. Good inter
national relations depend upon
good nations. Good race relations
depend upon good races.
We have been greatly enheart-
ened by the establishm ent of United
Nations as a world idea and ideal.
Will it succeed? The answ er is
found not in dollars and bullets, but
in hearts that always “trust in the
Lord.”
"Except the Lord build the house. They labor in vain that build HiExcept the Lord keep the city,Tbe watchman waketb but in vain.”
—Psalm 127:1* * * I

Serve Chicken for Economy’s Sake
(See recipes below.)
Chicken Cookery
According to the Commodity In
dex, which records the rise and fall
of wholesale
prices, poultry
today is selling
at prices we
were paying in
1926. Needless to
say, this means
that at a time
when other foods
have soared,
poultry is at a
low level.
W ith a favor
able supply and
price, you can
plan to use a lot of poultry now,
and give your fam ily something of
a treat with unusually prepared
chicken dishes.
Chicken should be cooked to
“fork tenderness.” There is little ex
cuse for underdone or overdone
chicken if you follow the recipes
given today, with particular care to
tem peratures and tim e for the
cookery. A m oderate tem perature
is best to use for chieken so as not
to shrink it too m uch, m ake it dry
or tough.
Most people who like chicken say
there’s no better way to cook it
than to fry it. The generally ac
cepted method is as follows:
1. Rub seasoned flour into pieces.
For each pound of chicken, blend %
cup flour, I teaspoon paprika, Hi
teaspoon salt, and scant Vs tea
spoon pepper. Save left-over flour
for gravy.
2. Heat enough fat in a heavy
skillet to give a depth of about %
inch, using any desired fat. A drop
of water should sizzle when tem
perature of fat is just hot enough.
3. S tart m eaty pieces first, slip
ping less m eaty pieces in between
as chicken browns. Avoid crowd
ing; use two skillets if necessary.
4. As soon as chicken begins to
brown, about 10 m inutes, reduce
heat, and cook slowly until tender,
30 to 60 m inutes, depending on size
of pieces. Cover tightly as soon as
it is a light, uniform tan.
5. Turn 2 or 3 tim es with 2 spoons
or fork and spoon to brown and
cook evenly. Avoid piercing with
fork.
6. Add I or 2 tablespoons w ater
before covering, especially recom
m ended if pan cannot be covered
tightly, or if bird is heavier than 3
pounds.
7. Uncover last 15 m inutes to re
crisp skin if desired. The liver and
precooked heart, gizzard, and neck
m ay be floured and browned with
chicken the last 15 m inutes.
8. Lift fried chicken to hot plat
ter. Prepare gravy in pan drip
pings.

Press and Packs Theater
A t the prem iere of the film
Trilby in New York in 1923, the
press agent employed an actress
to sit in the audience and feign
a trance, at the end of the first
showing, in which he found her
and called several physicians, ac
cording to Collier’s. Not know
ing the girl had run around the
block a few m inutes before, the
doctors w ere baffled by her pulse
and respiration, m aking the case
m ore m ysterious.
So for weeks, the press pub
lished interviews with psycholo
gists on the possibility of a per
son in the audience being hyp
notized by a screen character
such as Trilby’s Svengali, and the
curious packed the theater to see
w hat effect he m ight have on
them .

son, Rufus Brown Sanford has been head of this firm. Nearly everybody in this
entire section knows “Rufe” Sanford. He numbers his friends by the thousands
This store is one of the most modern and up-to-date department stores be
tween Winston-Salem and Asheville, and serves thousands of people from this
and adjoining counties and states. The Sanford Store and The DaVie Record

Millions of my young nieces and
nephews are returning Io school to learn from tiieir teacher, school
m ates and books a way of fife. Be
sides gram m ar, history, arithm etic,
home economics and a variety of
other courses, they will come face
to face with sportsm anship, honerty,
self-reliance and the habit of thrift.
Facts cram m ed in!o the heads of
Willie and Jane will come in handy,
but thrift is som ething which will be
vital to their well-being every day
of their lives. Of course the habit
of thrift m ay be acquired in m any
ways, bat a sure way is the partici
pation of m y young nieces and neph
ews in the United States Treas
ury D epartm ent’s School Savings
Program . U. S. Treasury Department
Millions of m y nieces antf nephews are increasing their take-home pay
by the sim ple, autom atic Payroll
Savings Plan. Let’s take one exam
ple. Suppose you tell your em ployer
that you w ant to take $6.25 of your weekly pay in Bonds. In three weeks
the accum ulation of $18.75 will buy
one $25 Savings Bond. M erely by
holding these bonds to m aturity in
10 years you are raising your take-
home income $2.08 every week. It
is obvious that the so-called deduc
tion for Savings Bonds is not a de
duction but a way for you to store
up and increase your earnings for your future use. f.

Start Your Own Ralionins
Sysiem
• You’re on your own this year so
far as home canning sugar is con
cerned! How much you have for
canning depends upon how much you
save. As this is being written, the
revised rationing system increases
the amount of sujr:ir allowed each in
dividual but makes no provision for
additional allotments for home can
ning.
So it’s entirely up to you to estab
lish your own system of rationing,
setting aside a certain amount from
each individual’s allotment for put
ting up home-canned foods.
If you can't possibly, even by self-
imposed rationing, have enough
sugar to put up all the food you
want with as much sugar as you’d
like, then you can fall back on the
sugar stretching methods used with
such good results during the war.
Housewives learned then that
fruits for pies, puddings and gel
atin desserts keep just as well with
out sugar, although it’s advisable to
use a little sugar, if possible, with
light colored fruits in order to pre
serve color. They learned, too, that
a combination of corn sirup and
granulated sugar gives excellent re
sults. Those who enjoy the taste of
honey learned to use it as a suirar
extender. Use of saccharin is barred
of course because it has a tendency
to produce an unpleasant taste.
Home canners have also learned
that they can use brown sugar,
maple sugar and sirup in butters,
jam s and spreads, although these are
not satisfactory for other canning.
Puttins up some amount of fruit
without sugar is a good idea because
you then have it on hand to make
into jan.s and jellies as needed.
Home-Canned Picklcd
Beets Are Good
Appetizers
Small pickled beets add a colorful
and appetizing note to mcrls the
year ’round. Your home canning
schedule should include them. Here
is an excellent recipe taken from
the famous Ball Blue Book on home
canning:
1 gallon small beets
2 cups sugar, or I cup sugar and
I cup corn sirup
I long stick cinnamon
I tablespoon allspice
isH cups vinegar IMt cups water
Cook and skin beets. Add sugar
and spices to vinegar and water.
Simmer 15 minutes. Add beets. Boil
live minutes. Pack beets into hot
jars. Cover with boil.ng sirup. If
not enough sirup to cover, add more
vinegar. Process five minutes in hot
ViJiter bath.
Those Sun-Cooked
Preserves Make
Delicious Treats
Firm-ripe cherries, currents, red
raspberries or strawberries may be
used for sun-cooked preserves. Cher
ries should be washed and seeded;
currants washed and stemmed;
strawberries washed and capped.
Drain and weight the fruit. Work
with small batches, using equal
amounts of sugar and fruit. Place
fruit and sugar in alternate layers
in a broad pan. Let stand overnight.
Heat slowly to boiling and boil six
minutes. Spread in shallow trays
and cover with window glass. Allow
air space on all sides. Let the mix
ture stand in the sun for three days,
or until the sirup begins to jell and
the fruit is plump. Stir gently two
or three times daily. Do not keep
the mixture out of doors overnight.
Pack into hot Ball jars and process
15 minutes at simmering.
Many ol the berry family will go
into jars without sugar at all and
keep perfectly for later use. If you
want to be famous for delicious
blueberry or huckleberry muffins*
canning without sugar is preferred*
To can blueberries or huckleberries
for use in muffins, place two or three
quarts of cleaned berries m a square
of cheesecloth. Gfciher up the corn
ers of the cloth and allow the ber*
ries to dip into boiling water until
spots appear on the Cloth. Then dip
quickly in and out of cold water.
Pack into hot Br.U jars. Add neither
sugar nor liquid. Process 20 min*
res Co.
utes in hot water bath.
Other berries, except strawberries
and red raspberries should be heated
slowly until the juice runs free be
fore being placcd in jars for pro
cessing. If sugar is short in your
household, can any berries by pro
cessing 10 minutes in hot water bath
after cleaning, crushing, and stew
ing them in their own juice. If you
have sugar, jams will, of course, us^
less of your supp.’y than preserves*
When you are using corn sirup a*
part of the sugar required, remem
ber to cook the jr.m a little Iongert
in small batches, and stir often.

and boor of life. There are times
when you are alone; yet you are
with yonrself.
How do you like yonrself? Wbat
kind of company are you keeping
yourself? Are yon delighted witn
yonr conduct, habits, deeds. Ian.
guage, principals, tempraments,
traits and characteristics? Oanyou
compliment yourself on the way
you treat your body, your health,
vonr mind and yonr precious soul
Are you pleesed with your way ot
living? Is it for your good, for the
good of others and the glory of
God? Areyontreatingyourselfso
as to live ont your days upon earth?
Or is it a fact that vou are shorten
ing yonr days by yonr bad and
rninons habits, your sinfulness and
wickedness, and by violating the
laws of God and nature?
Yon are living with yourself.
Don’t forget this fact. You are
either your own slave, or you are
yonr own master, by the help and
graee ot God. Of course if yon
leave God ont of yonr iife, then
you are a slave to yonr passions,
desires, whims, ambitions, aopeti
tes, propen'ities, inclinations, prin
cipals, traits and characteristics.
Naturally every man in sin certain
ly is not in good, noble, unlifting,
elevating, commeudable, sublime,
worth-while, first-class company
with himself. You will have to
admit that if you will admit the
truth. I doubt if there is a man
on earth who is living in sin and
wickedness, regardless of who he
is, where he is, what he has ac
complished, how wealthy or poor
he is, how ignorant or how learn
ed. ar what may be his standing
with himself and with his fellow-
men, that is pleased and satisfied
with his life. I’m of the opinion
that every sinner, ungodly, wicked
person; that every person who
leaves Cbiist out of bis life, and
turns down the golden opportunl
ties of the Christian religion, is dis
pleased with himself. No doubt
all along life’s journey be is. from
time to time, displeased and disgus
ted with himself, wonders at him
self, and in his own heart crlls
himself a fool, or feels and realizes
that he is acting very foolishly and
unwisely, **. ' s ibis cer
tainlv characterizes atheists, agnos.
tics and infidels; characterizes drun
kards, swearers, profaners; edulter.
ers and adulteresses; characterizes
the piond, hangbtv. worldly, dis.
honest, untruthful, criminal; char
acterizes pleasure-seekers, highmin-
ded, self-willed, self-se. king people.
Are you keeping yourself the
company of a dishonest person? Is
it that of a puzzling, beer, wine
and liquor drinker? Is it that of a
tobacco slave? Is it that Oj a pro
fane, vile-mouthed, wicked-hearted
swearer or liar, rogne or rascal?
Are you keeping youiself the com
pany of a decritfnl, undermining,
slv sinner? Are von keeping your,
self the company of a hypocrite?
How do yon like vourself?■: How
do vou like to live with yourself?
How do you tike vonr attitude to
ward the Bible God. the Cbris-
tien religion, the church ot Jesus
Christ, your fellowmen, heaven and
heil? If you are selfish, stingy,
griping, knowing that you are a
typical “tightwad,’’ how do you
like this? 1« it a pleasure to yon?
Do you commend vourself on it?
Do you feel happy about it? Of
course you want happiness; then
do yon get it out of your deep-
seated selfishness and stinginess?
Are von a money grabber? Is mon
ey your god? Then how do you
like this? Haw do you like your
self in regard to this trait of heart,
mind, soul and spirit? Is it in vour
haart to get all yon can, keep all
vou can, and give as little as you
can? Is it in your very heart and
nature to crave the world ot money
and material things, and get all
you possibly can, and give ont as
little as yon can get by with? Well,
who will get it when you leave here?
Uaybe your ungodly children will
fnss and quarrel over it, law over
it, hate one another over it, then
die and go to hell over it.
Yon are living with vourself Re
member this. Yon will be living
with vonrself as long as you live on
earth, and then you will live with
yourself, vonr soul, in eternity.
Therefore yon are in for a long,
long, long time of living with your,
self and keeping vonrself company,
even though yon may be living in
tbe r.iidst of thousands and millions
of others.
Is it In vour heart—or toe feel
ing in yonr heart—that everybody
is for self, therefore you are prac.
ticing it out in your life? Do you
feel that everybedy is out to “do”
you, or out-do vou, therefore yon
are out to “do’, everyhodv else?
Do you have a feeling in your
heart that everybody are unreliable,
and that everybody is for self? Well,
if that is the wav you feel, I want
lo sav it Is pathetic. You cer
tainly feel bad. You are indeed
keeping yourself mightv poor, un-
dersirable, unpleasant company.
Don’t fail to take into considera
tion that God has some good peo
ple on earth vet, even if you be
long to the devil vourself. Thank
God, not everyone is for self. Thyre
are many vet who are for God and
for the welfare of mankind for time
and eternity. Praise God forever.
However, you are living with
yourself all along life’s trail. What
kind of companv are you keeping
yourself tbe company of the Chris
tian? Are you keeping yourself
tbe company of tbe saint? Are
vou keeping yourself the companv
of a deep praver life, a blessed
peaceful life? Are you keeping
vourself the companv of a deep
prayer life, a blessed peaceful life?
Are you keeping yourseit tbe com
pany of the I. yaltv, kind, gentle,
patient, liberal, honest, truthful,
sober, righteous aad holy? Paul
said to Timothy, “ Keep thyself
pure.” (I Tim. 5:22), That cer-
taiulv is wonderful and a marvel
ous way to live. It is worth all it
requires to live it. When one
keeps himself pure be certainly
keeps himself tbe verv best of com
pany. Then he makes himself the
very best of company for others to
live with. Glory to God. It is
worth a millions worlds. It is
worth ten thousand times all that
one gets out of living an evil, world.
Iy, ungodlv, sinful, wicked life.
It is far belter oftentimes to be
alone with yourself, when vou are
with God In heart, soul, mind and
spirit, then be in company with
those whose know not our God,
but live in wickedness.
You are living with yourself. It
is up to you as to how vou lire.
God is present everywhere to enable
you to live godly nobly and sub
limely, while the devil is every
where present on earth to drag yon
down on a level with him and bis
followers, and to finally drag you
dowin to hell How are you living?
For whom are you living?
Language can’t express how
blessed and wonderful it is to live
ior God nd the good of ali man
kind, as well as tor one’s own wel
fare for time and eternity. Snch
living is as it should he, and as
God wants it to be, by His wonder
ful and glorintie grace. Hallelu-
IabJ Living with one's self in tbe
beautv of Christianity and holiness
makes life wonderful, successful,
happy and worth living a million
times. It lifts one to the highest
plane on earth, and shall bring one
to God’s highest haven and richest
reward in eternity, Then can he
sit down with Abraham, Issaac and
Jacob, and a'l the blood-washed
sa’nts of heaven. | and with tbe
beautiful angels, sing and shot and
praise God as the ages of eternity
roll, and shfne in the beauty of the
redeemed.
On the other hand, so many peo
ple live such wretched lives, and
keep themselves snch bad company,
and make such bad company for
others, until they are miserable in
this world and shall be miserable iu
the world beyond We see people
are so irritable, peevish cross, sour
ill tempered, ill. natured, fussy,
qu rrelsnme, critical, full of fault,
finding and mote-hunting, until
they make themselves miserable,
and make those with whom they
live, mix and mingle miserable,
too, until they want to get away
from tbem. This ought not to be
It certainly is not God’s plan and

peaceful, kind, generous, meek,

spirits. This makes like to one’s
self blessed, and likewise blessed to
those with who we live, mix, min

Well, you are living with your,
self, Bear this in mind. You will
be living with vourself forever.
You can be a satnt'in your heart,
mind, soul and spirit, or yon can

life, or vou can have some of hell.
It is up to vou. bv God’s rich grace

yourself to unreservedly unto God
until you will have heaven’s sweet

Housing — I wo
Years After
Tbe story of the the three little
brothers, the eldest only four years
old, who were abandoned bv their
parents who contd find no borne
for them came out of Chicago re
cently to disturb the whole Nation.
Two years after V-J Dav the
tbe greatest industrial nation on
earth s struggling with a vast
bousing problem which remains nn.
solved.
True, many families formerly
houseless have found homes, al.
belt at high purchase, building
or rental costs—but there a re
thousands of families as vet who
have been unable to find adequate
and proper housing
The cost of home building have
been characterized by some A
merlcans as a national disgrace.
Probablv that is a bid too severe,
but it seems altogether too clear
that exploitative elements have
played their part in creating what
The Washington. Star depicts as
“tbe disgraceful bousing conditions
w.hicb represent one of the strange
anomolies of this age ”
The anomolat lies In our ability,
as a nation the production of so
many nnique devices, machines,
within price ranges that make
them available to nearly everyone,
while falling down nn the task of
bringing the price of homes within
the reach or means of the average
citizen.
A Congressional ^ommltte is
trying to find tbe answer. But
nearly every person, who has had
any experience with the housing
problem from one standpoint or an
other, has Iiis own answers, per.
haps Inefficiency of postwar la
bor” has been named as one an
swer. So have the shorter work
ing week, material scarcities, gov.
eminent restrictions, rent controls,
the black market in materials, ex
haustion of construction materials
in the war effort, and plain profi
teering.
Whatever the true answers are,
the truth remains that the housing
situation is still a serious one No
one needs a more graphic remind
er of this than the one furnished
by the desperate couple in Chicago,
known to welfare authorities as
well mannered and apparently in
dustiious, decent persons, who left
their children in a church with a
note to the finders to please “take
care of our kids and give them a
decent chance.”
Is America doing everything it
can to give a “decent chance” to
its mvriads of houseless families?

“I don’t think the housing pro

This newspaper has received a

asking that we write something

from bis watermelon patch.
We appreciate bis belief in the
power of the press, but it is doubt
ful that auv message we might

Stealiug watermelons has long
been looked upon too lightly.
Watermellons are property, and
have a value, and stealing water
melons is larceny just the same as
taking cash, because watermelons
are exchangeable for cash.
The farmer who toils long and
hard to produce melons deserves to
have the benefit af them, and he is
righteously angered when loafing

Flood-Proof Fence
Used in Australia
Lays Flat While Drift
Wood and Water Pass
A fence which bows before the
onrush of flood w aters and lies flat
while w ater and drift-wood pass
over is being used in Australia.
The posts are 33 feet apart and
two wooden droppers are placed be
tween the posts and another along
side each post. The posts are bored
with holes 4 inches from the ground
end I Vi inches from the edge of the
post, and another 3 inches from the
edge. These posts are 6 feet long,
B feet 6 inches above ground.
• The droppers are bQred 4 inches
from the bottom and then 6 inches,
7 inches, 8 inches and 11 inches,
allowing the top barbed wire to rest
on the side of the dropper, to which
it is tied through the hole with tie
wire. The droppers are 3 feet 10
Inches long. The bottom wire is
reeved through the droppers and
then through the posts. Each drop
per near a post has a piece of wire
passed around the top of the post,
then around the dropper so th at-it
will give way in flood tim e and
allow the fence of droppers to col
lapse. The bottom wire, 4 inches
from the ground, holds the fence to
the posts.
After the flood has subsided, all
that is necessary is to stand the
fence of droppers upright again an<?
attach it to the posts as before.
How to Prevent Date
With Big Farm Fire
Thirty-five hundred farm ers who
lived happily on their farm s a year
ago are dead, largely victim s of
their own carelessness. They de
cided to "live” with fire hazards
and lost. W ith them went alm ost
100 million dollars in farm prop
erty. --------
i> In one year 18,000 fires started in
newspapers, m agazines and other
rubbish. Flam m able liquids, im
properly stored or handled, caused
26,000 fires. Electric cords and
other defective electrical equip
m ent caused 31,000 fires. Dirty
This situation poses a num ber of<$-
problem s for the nation, and also
em phasizes the personal problem:
The problem of growing old.
Like m any of our troubles,, real
or imagined, the best cure is to
bring this one out into the light,
give it a good shaking. The result
in m any cases will be that it disap
pears or that it shrinks to unimpor
tance (if that w eren’t so, psychia
try wouldn’t be such a highly re
warded profession).
Wise m en have known this for a
long tim e and lived to a happy old
age. Others (who
J f rrk >. rJ didn’t know it)
f ‘ have w o r r ie d
their friends and
them selves to
early deaths, by
sitting down and
we e p i n g over
their lost youth
instead of getting
up, le a rn in g to
take old age in
their stride and
liking it.
Recently I read
a very up-to-date
little pam phlet

Anybody can develop an avoca
tion of some kind. In m any cases
these avocations have turned into
paying vocations after retirem ent.
In any case they are literally life-
savers when it comes to m aking
life livable.
Various skills perm it varying pe
riods of activity.
M any farm ers are self-sup
porting at 70 or 75. Perhaps
this is partly because of their
environm ent-m ental and phys
ical. Cicero says farm ers “ are
not hindered to any extent by
old age, and seem to m e to ap
proach the ideal wise m an’s
life.”
Most jobs are of such a character
that ability to perform them de
clines with the years. “When You
Grow Older” cites as an example
“ speed work”—like the assembly
line. Youth excels in this type of
work. But age does alm ost as well
as youth in the type classified as
“power” work, the kind of job where
skill is im portant.
There is not space here to develop
the them e of “When You Grow Old
er” as its authors do so compactly
in their 30 pages. They discuss the
questions, personal and political, of
old age security. They offer a host
of other specific exam ples to illus
trate the statem ents, some of which
I have quoted here. I have attem pt
ed to review rather than a sum

cause of the valuable suggestions
offered, and also, partly because
J u s t H a n g in g A ro u n d
m em ories. I rem em bered that
a gentlem an who considerably
predated Browning had said the
sam e thing in his essay “ On
Old Age,” w ritten in the year 44
B. C. I refer to M arcns Tullins
Cicero. He sa id , (am ong ether
pertinent things) “ qui antem
omnia a se ipsi petunt, eis ni
hil potest videri, quod naturae
necessitas adfera^.” Which, if
yon’ll pardon m y Ireedom with
the text, m eans that those who
seek their happiness from with
in can'never regard nature’s in
evitabilities as bad.
Cicero wrote th at essay when he
was 63 years old and I have no
doubt he would have lived w hat he
preached for another decade or
two if his vigorous old age had not
produced the resounding "Phillip-
pics” Against Anthony which re
sulted in his being “purged” (Roman
style) while still hale and hearty at
64.
Like Cicero, M essrs. George Law
ton and Maxwell Stew art, authors
of the pam phlet I mentioned, stress
the psychological problem s of old
age. (The pam phlet is issued by
the Public AEfairs Committee, Inc.,
non-profit, educational organiza
tion, 22 E ast 38th St., New York
City—20 cents.)
Old age comes with a shock
because we haven’t prepared for
it. M aybe we are ready for the
“ last day at the office” or at
the work bench or when we sell
the farm and move to the vil
lage or city, or in other ways
break a lifetim e’s routine. But
we m ay have failed to recog
nize “the need to feel im por
tant,” a need which we m ust
satisfy one way or another. Not
“ im portant” in the sense that
we have somebody kow-tow to
us, but necessary to somebody,
or som e thing, some business,
som e undertaking, m aybe not a
big cog, but something that
helps the wheels of life go round.
these pertinent paragraphs of
“When You Grow Older” offer a per
fect exam ple of how m odern sci
ence and experience confirm the
verities expressed by poets and
philosophers of the past.
It is still the habit of m any
critics to praise the style of
Cicero’s “De Senectute” but to
toss its m essage aside as wish
ful thinking. Even Montaigne,
who said frankly that reading
the essay “m ade one long to
grow old,” pessim istically lim
ited what he considered a useful
lifespan to a m ere 50 years and
thought it wrong to contem
plate further existence.
Cicero’s physical world .w as
bounded by the frontiers conquered
by Rome’s plodding legions but his
view was long in tim e. Today the
m en of our scientific age echo the
request in the last paragraph of the
great statesm an’s im m ortal essay
when he prayed: “ . ■. . that you
put m y words to practical test.”

Farmers’ Income Zooms;
New Crisis Hits Europe
FARM INCOME:
Great Gain
Latest round in a heavy barrage
of statistics apparently destined to
m ake the American farm er feel
that he is an unbelievably fortunate
m an was an agriculture departm ent
report that the nation’s farm own
ers are taking in m ore money than
ever before.
It was estim ated that total farm
cash receipts during the first eight
months of 1947 were 17.4 billion dol
lars, a 21 per cent gain over the
sam e period of 1946, itself a record
year.
The report said that the average
farm operator realized a net income
of $2,541 from agriculture and gov
ernm ent paym ents in 1946, and this
year farm income skyrocketed still
higher as a result of continuing un
precedented dem ands for produce.
“An increase of. 24 per cent in
prices,” w as singled out by the re
port as the chief reason for the
booming income.
But the picture has another side
—that of farm expenses. Operating
costs continue to increase and, al
though no estim ate was m ade for
1947, the farm er’s expenses w ent up
9 per cent in 1946. Nevertheless, if
the agriculture departm ent’s esti
m ates are accurate, the increase in
farm income greatly outweighs the
simultaneous rise in expenses.
CRISIS AGAIN:
Transfusion?
Life these days. Secretary of
State George M arshall has discov
ered, is bounded on all sides by one
crisis after another.
No sooner had he returned to the
U. S. from Brazil with the m utual
Am erican defense treaty tucked
safely under his belt than he was
beset with calls for succor from
debilitated Europe, which, appar
ently, was sliding swiftly down the
ways toward utter ruin.
Insiders said the European
situation really was desperate.
U ndersecretary of State Robert
Lovett had sounded the first
alarm shortly before M arshall’s
return when he said that Eu
rope’s economic structare was
cracking up faster than anyone
had expected.
The fear blowing in on the winds
from Europe intensified. Precari
ously balanced Britain rem ained at
the heart of the trouble, but more
grief was added by the news that
bad weather had struck hard at
crops in m any European countries
this year. Most natipns had been
forced to use their m eager produce
for dom estic consumption rather
than for export. There was no profit
in that, they said.
In the V. S., it began to appear more
likely that a special session of congress would be called this fall to study the
situation and perhaps set up the appa
ratus for another economic transfusion
to give strength to the weakening old
world.
BONDED
Vets Cash In
D raft tim e had rolled around
again for millions of ex-G.I.s, but
this tim e it was m ore in the nature
of a bank draft as veterans all over
the nation fell happily into line to
cash their term inal leave pay
bonds.
Virtually every city reported that
hordes of veterans had descended
on banks in an unprecedented rush
to convert their hard-won bonds
into coin of the realm . Millions of
form er Joes stuffed millions of dol
lars into their pockets.
W hat would they do with the
newly acquired money? A few put
it back into savings accounts; oth
ers bought clothes, furniture and
sim ilar necessities; much of it was
squandered im m ediately. But one
surprising fact developed: A great
m any ex-G.I.s—family m en now—
were using the store of cash to get
out from under worrisome debts.
For them it was a case of “ dire
need.”
ISOTOPES:
V. S. Offer
■ Radioactive isotopes—products of
American atom ic research—have
been offered in lim ited am ounts to
all foreign nations for use in m an
kind’s world-wide and unending
fight against disease.
The gesture, m arking the first
sharing of the fruits of U. S. atom ic
ovens, loomed m ore significantly on
the uncertain frontier of global
peace than any loan or economic
aid so far conceived.
Described as the m ost im portant
m edical research tool since the
microscope, the isotopes—radioac
tive form s of basic elem ents—are
utilized in the sam e m anner as m a
chine gun tracer bullets. Introduced
into the body or blood stream , they
can be used to trace life processes
and plot the course of various dis
eases.
They are of param ount im por
tance in current cancer research
and one day m ay provide the clue
leading to control and cure of that
disease.
$3,000 FOR TRACTO RS
F a r m e r s C a u g h t b y B l a c k M a r t
Gradually deteriorating prew ar
m achines and im plem ents, plus a
shortage of rural labor, are the two
principal factors responsible for de
velopment of a flourishing black
m arket in farm equipm ent, accord
ing to m anufacturers and dealers
groups who have pronounced the sit
uation fairly widespread.
Secondary circum stances which
support the existence of this partic
ular black m arket are the unparal
leled height of farm income and
the apparent determ ination of the
nation’s farm population to advance
to new levels of mechanization.
Thus, the dem and for farm equip
m ent continues to be alm ost in
satiable. Even the heavy, uninter
rupted output of the entire farm
equipm ent industry has failed to still
the clam or of the hungry m arket.
It has been common practice this
sum m er for farm ers to pay huge
prem ium s on such pieces of equip
m ent as tractors, hay balers and
corn pickers, all of which have cus
tom ers on dealers’ waiting lists.
Tractors priced at $1,000 have sold
for as high as $3,000 or $3,500. Hay
balers, which are used on hay three
tim es a season and have other farm
uses, have been finding buyers at
double or triple the list price.
Pointing up these m alpractices on
the p art of individuals, one m anu
facturer referred to the particularly
bad black m arket in combines.
“ When one w heat farm er, for
exam ple, has his crop harvest
ed, someone will drive up and
ask him how m uch he paid foi
his combine. The form er m ight
say $2,040. When the stranger
asks how m uch he would sell it
for, the farm er, picking a num
ber out of the hat, m ight say -
$3,000. Then, to the' farm er’s
surprise, the stranger peels off
30 $100 bills and takes the com
bine off his hands.
“ The farm er would have got
$3,500 if he had asked it, be
cause the stranger took the
combine north and sold it for
$4,000.”

The spirit of a century-old c|
fteitianjfcefeYj^fe the annual PuMp.j
kin Festival, tim ed to coincide \flth
community of W alnut Grove held" an
all-day picnic called “Burgoo.” For
m ore than a century the affair had’
lapsed, but in 1939 the nearly for-u
gotten picnic was revived in Eu.,
reka, its m odern counterpart being
term ed the Pum pkin Festival. v
Although the 1939 plans called 1
for only a sm all local celebra- •
tion, the affair expanded rapidly ,
into a two-day program . It has ]
been m aintained annually since Ji
then with exception of Hie w ar
years. Revived in 1946, the fes- ,
tival attracted m ore than 50,000
visitors. -•
^ Inaugurating the 1947 festival will)
M the first bowl football gam e ever^
Ibeld in the state of Illinois. Appro
p ria te ly dubbed the “Pumpkin Bowl
,Game,” the contest will pit E ureka1
pjcollege gridders against the KirksJ
"nVille, Mo., state teachers under the
floodlights of E ureka stadium .
Honor guest of the celebration
will be the screen star, Ronald Rea
gan, Eureka’s “home town boy,’
and his wife, Jane Wyman, also of
the films. Illinois state officials also:
will participate in the various pro-'
gram s. Reagan, an alum nus of Eu-1
reka schools, will take part in d ed i
catory cerem onies for a new schoo}!
of speech bdilding on the Eureka3;
cam pus. „
Proving that pumpkins repre- u
sent the m ajor interest not only
for farm ers and canneries,
housewives of E ureka and vicin
ity will show their skill at m ak
ing pumpkin pies by competing
in a pie-baking contest while
younger fry will vie in the tra- .I
ditional pie-eating contest. 3

Don’t ini.-s out 011 homemade sauer
kraut seived with s:>areri!is or wien
ers next winter. Choose fresh, hard,
sound cabbage now and make kraut.
Remove the outciue leaves, quarter,
and discard cores. Shred and mix
thoroughly with salt, one cup to 20
pounds of cabbage.
Pack firmly in a stone jar or tight
keg and cover with wooden lid or
dinner plate which will fit down on
the inside of the container. A jar
full of water on the plate will.hold
,the kraut under the brine which
forms as the salt draws the juice
from the cabbage. Keep at a temper
ature of 65 to 75 degrees Fahren
heit and remove scum ea<-h day.
Sauer kraut is cured and read; to
can in from 20 to 40 days, depend
ing upon the temperature at which
it is kept. Pack into hot Bail jars
which seal“with glass lid- or Donie
Vacu-Seal caps. Should there not be
enough juice to cover the kraut, add
brine made by dissolving two table
spoons salt in one quart of water.
—--Photo courtesy Ball Bros. Co*
Process 30 minutes in hot water
bath.
Sauer kraut may also be made bj
mixing one scant tablespoon salt
with one quart shredded cabbage
and packing directly into Ball jars.
Do not seal the jars yet. Remove
the scum as it forms. When cured,
then process 30 minutes in hot water
bath. Seal the jars according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Bulk-cured krsut is superior in
.flavor, texture and keeping qualities
to that cured in jars.
Canned Berries Need
Little or No Sugar
§ >
Many of the berry family will go
into jars without sugar at all and
keep perfectly for later use. If you
want to be famous for delicious
blueberry or huckleberry muffins,
canning without sugar is preferred.
To can blueberries or huckleberries
for use in muffins, place two or three
quarts of cleaned berries in a square
of cheesecloth. Gather up the corn
ers of the cloth and allow the ber
ries to dip into boiling water until
spots appear on the cloth. Then dip
quickly in and out of cold water.
Pack into hot Ball jars. Add neither
sugar nor liquid. Process 20 min-
... y i>au Co.
utes in hot water bath.
Other berries, except strawberries
and red raspberries should be heated
slowly until the juice runs free be
fore being placed in jars for pro
cessing. If sugar is short in your
household, can any berries by pro
cessing 10 minutes in hot water bath
after cleaning, crushing, and stew
ing them in their own juice. If you
have sugar, jams will, of course, us*
less of your supply than preserves.
When you are using corn sirup at
part of the sugar required, remem
ber to cook the jam a little longer*
in small batches, and stir often*
