C. ™ mz ION C O R N E R ‘THE BARGAIN’ By MRS. W. E. ABBOTT Emma Haines wakened with diffi­ culty from her early morning sleep. That noise! What was it? It was like water swirling rapidly down a drain. Her brain cleared, and she heaved-her great bulk out of bed. Only one thing sounded like that! The outlaw pig belonging to Ed Slatterly was Taiding her garden again. Probably wanted more of her prize watermelons. She’d show her! Hastily she thrust her feet into slip­ pers, put a house dress over her nightgown, and started for the door. There she was, the demon! She’d know that bony, stubborn figure anywhere. “Get out of there, you ornery creature!” Emma picked up the nearest stone and threw it with all her strength at the skinny sow. The pig grunted and ran toward the hole under the garden fence, which she had prepared for herself. She squeezed her gaunt frame under the wire, grunting noisily. Emma threw another stone, and the sow trotted off down the road toward home. Emma sputtered to Seth all dur­ ing breakfast about the sow. “She’s against everything I’ve ever seen in nature,” complained Emma. “Eats watermelons, of all things! Of all the truck I have in my garden, those melons are the things I prize most. And doesn’t that cussed pig know that? She makes for the melons every time.” Seth didn’t say much. After all, he was more than ordinarily fond of pigs, all pigs. He loved to raise them, see them grow large and con­ tented from good feeding. Anyone had only to look at his fifty fat hogs to know Seth enjoyed caring for them. Emma sighed. “I’d go over to see Slatterly today, if I didn’t have so much to do. I’ll try to go tomorrow. It’s simply got to stop! Those trashy swamp folk will have to learn to keep their stock to home!” It was three days before Emma found time to visit the Slatterlys. It was two miles back to their shack at the edge of the swamp, but Emma was a hearty fifty-year-old woman, and she loved the walk through the fields and wood lots. Several of the Slatterly children were playing around the cabin. They were handsome children, in spite of their dirty, unkempt ap­ pearance. “Where’s your Dad?” said Emma shortly to the oldest boy. “Paw!” yelled the boy. Ed Slatterly appeared at the door of a shed behind the house. He was a small, wizened man. Emma had never seen him when he wasn’t chewing tobacco. She walked to­ wards him. Over his shoulder she looked inside the shed. There hung a butchered pig. “Oh," she said. “That your pig, Ed?” “Yes, Ma'am,” he replied. “I was aimin’ to give you a piece of that meat.” Emma softened. She walked in­ side and looked at the meat. It looked good. “Watermelons must make good hog feed,” muttered Emma to herself. “Ma’am?” said Ed Slatterly. “I said that would be nice,” re­ plied Emma. “We’d love having some fresh meat. It’s very kind of you.” With the help of one of the boys, Ed took the pig down from the hook and cut off one of the hams for Emma. “‘That’s too much,” she said firmly. “No, Ma’am,” he said. “I have a lot of young ’uns, and they eat hearty, but the weather is warm. “Leave her be. Pll be down.” A moment later he appeared in the yard,- his overalls drawn hastily over his pajamas, He looked sheepish. “It’s all right, Emma,” he said. “That’s our pig now.” “Ours!” cried Emma. “Oh, no, not that!” Seth ran his hands nervously through his hair. “You see, I just couldn’t bear seeing that hog look­ ing the way she did, all run down and thin and neglected. So I traded one of our pigs to Slatterly for her. That gave them meat, and I thought I could maybe fatten her up.” Emma stared at him open- mouthed. “Although I gotta admit, she is an outlaw,” said Seth. “May have to get rid of her after all.” “May have to!” cried Emma. “May have to, indeed! What about my watermelons? You certainly will have to!” Seth grinned and wiggled his toes in the grass like a small boy. “Whatever you say, Emma,” he “Get out of there, you ornery creature!” Emma picked up the nearest stone and threw it with all her strength at the skinny sow. Meat won’t keep too long. You take it right along home.” "That’s mighty fine of you, Ed Slatterly,” said Emma. Her con­ science was beginning to hurt. Emma carried the ham all the way home and put it in the refriger­ ator to cool. Meat was expensive, and the thought of a roast of fresh ham made her happy. She was at peace with the world when she went to bed that night. Early the next morning she woke up in confusion. That peculiar sound again. Water, going rapidly round and round in a drain. No! It couldn’t be! She sat up. There wasn’t another pig anywhere that sounded quite like that. She bounded out of bed and hit the floor with a thud. Slippers, the house dress over her nightgown, the flying trip to the garden. She rubbed her eyes. It was Slatterly’s sow! There couldn’t be two such pigs in all the world.

He knew the value of silence. He knew with cer­ tainty that this was not the time to mention that he had promised the Slatterlys a dozen of Emma’s prize watermelons, as soon as they were ripe, to complete the deal. y o u I Don’t Forget to Compliment Them One of the most effective salesmen I have ever known accomplishes his near miracles in business, not by any intellectual system, but by fol­ lowing one of the simplest of all plans I know for impressing others favorably. He compliments his customers. They like it so much they buy from him. They also form an attachment to him which makes it next to im­ possible for a competitor to come in and make sales. AU great leaders from the begin­ ning of the world have found that if they can compliment others prop­ erly and judiciously they are em­ ploying an aid which is beyond price it is so valuable. When you compUment a person, it shows that you are interested in him and want to please him. In you that person sees a reflection of his own desires. And that’s what makes us like others—a reflection of the things we like most in ourselves. Of course I am not recommending flattery. When a compliment degen­ erates, it becomes mere flattery; it is not a boon but a handicap to friendship. You can’t trust flattery. •We feel we can trust compliments. This salesman I am teUing you about never makes the mistake of flattering his customers. “What I try to do with every man is find out what he wants to hear about himself,” he explained. “I never compliment him upon things that are obvious—that others com­ pliment him upon. About those things he gets tired of hearing. But all of us .yearn to have somebody teU us about some other excellence of ours—one that isn't quite so ob­vious.” That is a shrewd observation on human nature. I remember reading how bored John D. Rockefeller was when complimented upon his busi­ ness success. He wanted to heail something else. The thing he want­ ed to hear was praise about his household economies. And Andrew Carnegie wasn’t nearly so proud of having given away so many mil­ lions of dollars as he was of his ability as a public speaker. The point I am making is that if you want your compliments, to do the most good you have to ferret out little things which the other person would like to hear somebody say about him. The next thing my salesman friend does is to make his compliments ring true. He isn’t fulsome about them ever. He is truthful. He can go into any company and be liked and popular because in any com­ pany he finds something nice to com­ pliment everybody upon. The reason he finds these things is that he looks for them. There isn’t any reason why you shouldn’t do just as much is there?

The nominations will begin at 9 a. m., and voting will follow. Xhe polls will be closed at 6 p. m., \ said J. N. Smoot, Chairman of the j County Agricultural Conservation. Committee. Mr. Smoot explained that these delegates from the fifteen com­ munities in the county will meet in a county convention at the* AAA office on Monday, Dec. 8th,: at 10 a. in. At the county con-: vention the Agricultural Conser-1 vation Program Leadership for the coming year will be named. ■ The county committee to be elec­ ted at the county convention con­ sists of a chairman, vice-chairman, member and two alternate mem­ bers. The county committee adminis­ ters locally the Agricultural Con­ servation Program, price support programs, and the tobacco mark eting quota program. The coun ty committee also is responsible! for special activities assigned to ‘ them by the Secretary of Agri culture. Since delegates elected in the community elections have to de­ cide on who shall make up the county committee, the state chair­ man urges all eligible farmers to give careful consideration to the election of delegates. He also: stresses that a county committee' can be truly representative of the ‘ farmers of the county only when a large percentage of the farmers of the county participate in the elections.

M ost m em bers of the house w ays and m eans com m ittee prefer not to be quoted on this hot tam ale, but privately both R epublicans and D em ocrats doubt that the co-ops will be hit in new tax legislation. To get at the co-ops, the committee would have to ‘‘open up” sacro­ sanct Section 101 of the internal revenue code, which exempts not only the co-ops, but also churches and religious groups, labor unions, educa­ tional institutions, Daughters of the American Revolution, veterans' groups and other segments in the “no-man’s land” of our tax system. Any effort to tamper with Section 101 to take one of these groups out of the non-profit class and make it taxable is likely to encounter strong opposition from the others, fearing they may be next on the program. All this is why ways and means chairman, Harold Knutson, is so anxious to pass the buck to the treasury department, for an “opinion” on whether co-ops should be tax-exempt. A majority of the ways and means committee favors some formula for tapping the revenues of the cooperatives as distinguished from the small co-ops. Some of these big outfits export their goods, have adver­ tising budgets and function much as private business. Section 101 eventually will be amended so the government can move in on these Big Berthas, but" the country’s 10,000 or more small farm co-ops won’t be touched by congress in the immediate future, They have too many potent allies in Section 101. ★ * ★ ★ M L T E R W IN C H E LL N o t e s o f a B y s t a n d e r American Legion Post 65 (Miami Beach) and other war vet outfits in Florida went on unanimous record opposing Flagstad’s sponsors, who are bringing her there.

Krug, has a vision of possibly 10 mil­ lion people settling in western reclamation areas by I960. If this vision is to materialize, however, the program of the bureau of reclamation must be carried through to irrigate up to 15 million acres of arid and semi-arid land and to produce possibly 22 million kilowatts of hydro­ electric power. This program has been definitely projected until 1954 and for that seven-year period it calls for an investment of $2,148,000,000. It would bring irrigation to about four million newly irrigated acres embracing 40,000 'farms and it would add 2,250,000 kilowatts of generating capacity or enough power for 21 cities the size of Denver. Total invest­ ment would be something like 15 billion dollars. Secretary Krug contends no other area of the nation has the same economic opportunity for these 10 millions of people. H.

A whole shipload of unreal idols of our dreams flew in to protest about the hearings on un-Americanism. Some Hollywood committee about free­ dom of speech was back of the party. By a happy coincidence most of them were on my floor. Some times, in the elevator, I even rubbed elbows with them. I wanted to ask Danny Kaye for his autograph in my book, along with the autographs of his friends, Leo Durocher, George Raft, Frankie Boy Sinatra and Buggsy Siegel, but I choked up. I lost my nerve. Then there was gorgeohs Jime Havoc,^who is a certain party’s nomi­ nation for “Miss Constitution of the U. S. A.,” for 1947. Heh-heh-heh! I foxed them! When I said she was a “certain party’s” nomination I bet they thought I was going to say the Communist party, and then they would sue me for calling her a Communist. But I am too clever. Maybe I am “that certain party” myself! But now we must go, Cinderella, for the clock is striking 12, and our advecture in the realm of glamour comes to an end. ★ ★ - ★ ★ WRIGHT PATTERSON A L e s s o n f o r P o l i t i c i a n s A BROCHURE issued by Citizen’s National committee contains extensive evidence that “Be Kind to Taxpayers” Week of last June was a popular movement. That week was not proclaimed by President Truman or any tax-spending public official. It started with a proclama­ tion by one of the 140 million Ameri­ can private citizens and, it would seem, quickly aroused the interest of all of that 140 millon who were called upon to participate, and they did. The tax-voting and tax-spend­ ing politicians can well take heed of the evidence concerning the average American voter which that small brochure contains. 11 1 " " -Bgiw w m m ,s* * i- IitH H IMlIllKii Inlirqaliensi Untfotm Svndor School lotton SCRIPTURE: m John,DEVOTIONAL READING: I Corinthians 1:10-17.

Link with HI John the devo­ tional reading found in First Corinthians 1:10-17, and you have a great and glorious picture of C hristian fellow­ ship. Note these words: "Now'I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Dr. Newton ^ord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same things, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the Same mind and in the same judg­ ment,” I Corinthians 1:10.

They are ideal for snack fare for the youngsters, as well as family get-togethers during the holidays. It won’t be long now before the holidays are with us, and that means the children will be home with their constant demands on the cookie jaT. It means, too there will be plenty of enter­ taining, perhaps not of the elab­ orate variety, but evenings in front o f th e cozy warmth of the fireplace, when there should be a simple cookie or cake to serve. Wise cooks will plan to do a lot of their holiday bak­ ing early. Some of the cookies and confections can be made early, and they will taste so much the better for it. Then, too, most women like to make such things as pudding and fruit cake before the holidays so as to relieve the strain on the kitchen later on. If you’re making fruit cake or pud­ ding, chop the fruits the day before and prepare your molds. Then the making of the recipe will be easy «nd there is less chance for error.

I B Tdlil-n I // THE DAVIE RECORD^ MOCRSVILLE N C., DECEMBER 3 1947 By MAKV NSLSON , “ TJAPPi; new yearr The ci y cci:ocd and re echoed down the street as Penny maJe her way toward the bus stop. Every­ where about her people were light­ hearted and gay and busily wishing their friends good fortune for the coming year. She buttoned her coat at the neck and turned up the collar. It was a bitterly cold day and she told herself she would be happy to reach home and stay in for the night. Let those with pio­ neer blood go out and stand in the raw wind down at Dayton Circle just to blow a silly horn at midnight os­ tensibly to usher in the new year. Penny had always been known at home as a sensible girl with good common sense. She was proud of that reputation and now that she lived in the city alone she was more determined than ever to live up to it. She didn't want to become a sophisticated, worldly wise city girl. Thus, she summed up mentally, it was just as well she didn’t go out. "Going out tonight, Penny?” The words interrupted her thoughts and she turned to greet Ruby, a fellow worker who was al­ ways going out with someone she called "Beanie.” You could always tell the status of Ruby’s romance by her mood: if she was exuberant to the point of being giddy, she was going to see Beanie that night; if she was quiet and petulant, she hadn’t heard from him, and if she was downright rude with a sarcastic twist to every remark she made, then they had quarreled. Penny smiled. “No, I’m not. Ruby,” she replied. Odd that she should feel such emptiness within her as she said the words. She not­ ed Ruby’s quick glance of sympathy and it irritated her. “I don’t know “But her foot missed and came down on a sheet of ice.” anyone here,” she defended herself. Then added curtly, “And anyway, I wouldn’t dream of going out in such ghastly weather.” Ruby shrugged. “Oh, well, if you feel that way about it . . . happy new year, Penny.” She hurried away before the wretched girl could make any response. “Now why did I act so nasty?” she asked under her breath. Ruby hadn’t meant any offense—she was simply so wrapped up in her own little world that she felt sorry for anyone who had no Beanie to which to cling. She was essentially a generous person and now Penny had deliberately hurt her. A S SHE stood in the middle -of the sidewalk, angry and discour­ aged, she saw her bus speeding reck­ lessly down the street and without another thought to anything else she hurried toward the corner. “Wait, oh, wait!” she called, running breath­ lessly. No one else was waiting, however, and he careened sharply off the curb, hurrying on his way. “Oh, dear!” She burst into tears at this new disappointment and reached blindly for the curb. But her foot missed and came down on a sheet of ice sending her into an astonished heap in the street. For a moment she was too stunned to move. She heard footsteps hur­ rying past her and managed to sit up dazedly. A man knelt down be­ side her but his face was a blur of features. "Take it easy,” he admon­ ished, placing an arm across her back. She tried to focus her eyes upon him and hadn’t quite succeed­ ed when he cried, “Penny! Why, Penny Lindsay! What in the world are you doing out here?” And then everything cleared and she saw the handsome, blond fea­ tures of a former school friend. “Oh, Alan!” Tears tumbled over each other in hasty exit. He helped her to her feet. “Gee, it’s good to see someone from the old home town. I’ve been so doggone lonely,” he told her, manipulating the hand­ kerchief skillfully around her nose and eyes. “I’m lonely, too,” she gasped. “I’ve only been here a month.” “Say! What are you doing to­ night? Anything?” “N-nothing.” Her heart skipped a beat in anticipation. “Then why don’t we go somewhere and talk over old times? Gee, I’m dying to hear some gossip about the Turners and the Mitchells and all the rest. Will you, Penny?” And Penny smiled happily this time. “Yes, Alan. Even this ghast­ ly weather couldn’t stop me from talking over old times with you.” D A V l E B R IC K C O M P A N Y D E A L E R S IN G O O D C O A L D ay P b o n e 194 - N ig h t P h o n e 119 M u ck sv ille, N .

Probably we’ve all asked that question at some time. How­ ever, we don’t have to go far to find a multitude of “experts” eager to point out the answer—their answer. These might range from the old wheeze about “90 per cent of the wealth in the hands of 10 per cent of the people” to other outdated adages just as economically un­ sound. The real answer is simple enough. In investigating the possible cul- Rrits who command the nation’s economy, most of us fail to consider ourselves. Yet many people think only of wealth as being controlled by a few. These usually are pic­ tured as pompous capitalists ex­ ploiting the masses for their own gain. A more untrue picture could hardly exist. Equal Shares Actually, the distribution of the nation’s money constitutes the most striking arguments for freedom of endeavor in our country. Togeth­ er with more than 50 million of his fellow employed workers, Mr. Aver? age Citizen in 1945 took home some 114.5 billion dollars—71.1 per cent of the national income. As members of the largest group they received the largest share of the country’s money. This is the natural conse­ quence of democracy. Wide distribution does not stop here. In the same period 15 per cent of the national income went to the proprietor class—the farmers, small businessmen, doctors, den­ tists, and other professional people. It is difficult to think of the local farmer, the comer grocer, or the family doctor as greedy exploiters. Through their own work and train­ ing they have provided themselves with a livelihood. More Sharing The remaining 12.9 per cent is again distributed. Rents, interest and dividends account for the major part, with corporate savings amounting to only 2.8 per cent of the national income. Included in rent income are large numbers of small property owners, whose rent- bearing holdings might be only a home or building. Then, too, thou­ sands of small stockholders account for a good share of the interest and dividend income. The 4.5 billion dollars earned as corporate savings is a far cry from the “profiteer” pictures painted by those who would change our way of economic life. For the most part, this is the source of the laboring man’s income. This 2.8 per cent return to corporations is their share of a system which puts 71.1 per cent into the pockets of the em­ ployed man. As a minority group, corporations receive a minority share. Despite these sobering statistics, there are manv who would call for a change. There are those who would take the responsibility away from the individual and vest it in a central authority. It is paradox­ ical that these interests would “give the wealth to the people” in a na­ tion where the majority of the peo­ ple now receive the majority of the income. They would junk our successful economy to institute an unproved one—all to achieve an ideal which we have acliieved al­ ready in greater measure than has any other country. I n e x p e n s i v e G i f t s C a n B e M a d e W i t h C h r i s t m a s C a r d s V /f OST of us have stored away in attic boxes and desk drawers, Christmas cards from last year and the year before that we just couldn’t bear to throw away. These cards can be transformed into charming Christmas gifts with a little ingenuity and a minimum of time on your part. Lampshades are always welcome—and here’s a novel idea for design­ ing a special gift for a special person. If your friend is partial to floral ar­ rangements, New England farm scenes, cats—or whatever, select the cards accordingly. Take a plain parchment shade, brush entire outer surface with clear shellac and let dry partially. Meantime brush the back of the cards with shellac and expose to air for several minutes until shellac reaches a sticky consistency. Apply cards to appropriate spots and press m a t w o s a J EVEN THE FIRST . . . Since the first Christmas card was made, they have been saved and utilized for the making of artistic gifts. During and since the war the demand for the cards for those in hos­ pitals has reached a new high. Our wounded have been supplied with thousands of cards which they use in making gifts. down. Brush entire lampshade surface, including newly applied cards, with the shellac. Let dry. The shellacking process may be repeated any num­ ber of times as each application serves to increase the durability of the lampshade. Pierce holes, about an inch apart, around top and bottom edges; lace with ribbons. Wastebaskets, too, make attractive gifts. The cardboard variety, either oval or square in shape, can be secured in your local 5 and 10 or depart­ ment store. Cover with plain paper or gift wrapping. Shellac, mount cards. Re-shellac—as with the lampshade. Another trick! Select three cards of uniform size and theme—eithei religious, scenic or peasant, etc. Place them in inexpensive cardboard or wooden frames. Take a long strip of heavy satin ribbon with sewn-on bow at one end. Attach frames to ribbon in Victorian manner, i. e., one over the other. Then sew a hook on back of bow so ribbon may be hung from the wall. A useful and colorful gift for the man of the house—especially if he happens to be a pipe smoker—is the large box of kitchen matches artisti­ cally "camouflaged”.so Mother won’t object to its presence in her newly “done over” living room. Cover all surfaces, with the exception of the sanded striking area, with strips of colorful designs taken from Christma: cards. Paste the cutout Christmas card designs on one or both of th< large surfaces—shellac, allow to dry. and repeat process. One of the simplest to make, yet most effective small gifts, is the bookmark. Cut out, in rectangular shape, the Christmas card design of your selection. Then tape a strip of good quality.ribbon—either satin or grosgrain—to the back of the card so that the ribbon extends about three or four inches beyond its bottom edge. Scotch tape can be bought at mosi stationery and gift shops in colors, now, and it lends a more festive air than the usual transparent tape. It’s a good idea, too, to give the card a coal or two of shellac so it will resist fingerprints and smudging. Two blocks of wood, painted in pretty pastels, mounted with Christmas cards and shellacked are jusl the thing for the guest room bookends. In similar fashion wooden boxes can be “dressed up” with cutout floral Christ­ mas card designs to serve as cigarette containers. Assocuifed With Mony Christmas Symbols f *n i VtKUUt HOME FOR SANTA CLAUS . . . Many cities in the United States, even those which do not have names associated with Christmas sym­ bols, erect Santa CIaus villages during the holiday seasons. C1ACH year, thousands of letters in the U. S. are mailed from Beth­ lehem—Bethlehem, Pa.; Bethlehem, Md.; Bethlehem, Conn., and Beth­ lehem, N. H. These towns were named many, many years ago, and imaginative Americans the country over send in letters to be remailed bearing the symbolic postmark of Bethlehem. The story associated with the naming of Bethlehem, Pa., is espe­ cially moving. On Christmas Eve in 1741, it is said, Moravian pioneers who had come to the new world in search of religious freedom gath­ ered in a log cabin in the snow- swept Pennsylvania countryside. Thankful for their new refuge, they sang carols joyfully; then Nicholas Louis, Count Zinzendorf, took up a taper and led the gathering into the stables where a few cows and horses stirred. “Let us call our village also Beth­ lehem,” he said, and all agreed. From a humble beginning over 200 years ago, Bethlehem, Pa., is now a thriving industrial city of 62,000. Santa Claus also has been hon­ ored0 in the naming of American cities. The story of_ the christening of Santa Claus, Ind., contains an awesome note in keeping with Christmas Eve. The government had turned down the request of a little settlement in southern Indiana 100 years ago be­ cause an older town in the state bore the same name of Santa Fe. As the villagers gathered in cele­ bration of Christmas Eve, they pon­ dered a new name, finding each suggestion unsuitable as they turned it over in their minds in order to select the right one. In the midst of their delibera­ tions, a blinding light was seen out­ side. Rushing to the window, they saw a flaming star crash against a distant hill, leaving a crater that still can be seen today. Awed by the spectacle, the resi­ dents of the settlement considered the event as a special omen, and they gave their community the name of Santa Cthus to commemo­ rate Christmas.

That is, if you fol­ low glass jar manufacturer’s instruc­ tions, for they are based upon scien­ tific discoveries made over a period of a century and a half. Back in Napoleon’s time, a Paris confectioner, Nicolas Appert, set out to find a method of food preserva­ tion and win a 12,000-franc prize offered in 1795 by the French gov­ ernment. Napoleon, like Frederick the Great, believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 15 years’ work, but his methods and equipment have been greatly im­ proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera­ ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not until 1860 did Louis Pasteur estab­ lish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four­ teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore, invented the “retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason' jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined zinc cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid which has sealing compound on the Under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the lid with the finger. Sealing with the Dome lid is made doubly sure by the new type metal band which bears down on the lid at three pressure points. Also reliable in seal is the light­ ning type jar with rubber ring, glass lid and wire bail. Many scientific experiments and jar improvements have perfected pro­ cesses for today’s home canning and it is upon them that instructior.s you will find in reliable home canning lit­ erature such as the Ball Blue Book are based. Follow these instructions and you become an “Engineer in Good Eating”—much to the benefit of your family’s health and increased pleasure at the table provided by de­ licious home canned foods.

A B u s y A g e Rev W. E. Ieenlt our. High Point, N. C. R4 This is indeed a busy age of the world. 'T here is so much to do. It seems th at the vast m ajority of peo­ ple are rnshing through life. I t is rush to work, rush to lunch, rush to amusement, hurry to bed and hurry off again in the m orning for the same things. We »can*t do things fast enough today. W e work fast, travel fast, eat fast, sing fast, worship fast, and m ust continue in order to keep up with the whirlpool of the times. Business requires fast hands, educa­ tion requires fast thinking, positions require people. Doctors m ust be fast in order to take care of their patients, merchants m ust he fast in order to take care of their customers, bankers m ust work fast to take in the money and to hand it out, farm ­ ers m ust have fast machinery so they can get their work done, teachers m ust wdrk fast so their students can make -their grades each year, and travelers m ust have the fastest au­ tomobiles, or go on the fastest trains, ships and airplanes so they can be on time. The busy, fast age has like­ wise caught the m inistry. W e have to hold short, fast services in order for the folks to get away as quick as they want to, and in many eases as quick as they must. W e sing fast songs, pray fast prayers, dismiss quick and get away. W e are wondering a t the fast age in which we live. Surely it means that we aTe fast approaching life’s end here, the return of the M aster and the final judgm ent. Too many are caught in the rush of the times and therefore making no preparation to meet God. Others who w ant to be religious and godly don’t seem to have time, or w on’t take tim e, to be holy. They let business take their time and attention. Others are so engrossed in pleajnfres, excitement, worldliness, and the cares of life, un­ til they do not take time, to read and study God’s holy and eternal W ord, pray, win souls, visit the sick and help pilgrim s on their w ay to the Celestial City. Even amid all th at demands our time and attention today it pays to settle down, get quiet, read the Bible, pray earnestly and sincerely, and wait before God in order to renew our strength, gain knowledge th at is Divine, and to know the w ill of God. “ Be still, and know that I am G od” . (Psalm 46:10). God would have us get alone with Him, settle down, be quiet, pray, worship Him sincerely and in the beauty of holiness, that He m ay bless us, strengthen us for life’s battles, toils, tests, trials, tem p­ tations, duties, opportunities and re­ sponsibilities. I t always pays to obey God, and. in getting still before Him. tarrying, worshiping and waiting, He always rewards us with strength, grace, courage, purity and holiness, and sends us forth as burning and shining lights. I t is never tame lost, but tim e saved, when we get still before God, pray and worship Him sincerely. We can get as much work done, and db it better and with much less fatigue and worry, when we settle down to quiet, earnest, sincere worship somewhere in H is presence. H e will enable us to use our time wisely, and get our work done better, and in due time, if we worship Him quietly and sincerely, and not get in a big hurry to get away. W e realize that we are in a busy age, but we know that the vast mul­ titudes of people are only busy in the temporal things of this life and world, and not busy for our Lord. There is indeed more -to be done for God’s cause and kingdom than ever before, it seems to me, and we ate getting such a little done. I f our churches today would turn their a t­ tention less to the tem poral things of life, and more to the spiritual, it is unknown wha-t could be accom­ plished. W e believe millions could be brought into the fold of God. Souls are lost everywhere, and th at by mul­ titudes, and we get such a little done, generally speaking, toward bringing them to Christ. How we need godly men and women every­ where as laborers, pray-ers and soul- winners! The fields are white unto harvest, but- the earnest, godly, holy soul-winners are so few. “ The har­ vest truly is great, but the laborers are few : pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.” (Luke 10:2). God would hove us pray for more help in the great H a n e s o n T a x e s In charging the Adm inistration with thinking, too mueh about prices, which are only the effect of inflation, and too little about governmental extravagance and the oversupply of money, which are the real causes, John W . Hanes, formerly undersec­ retary of the Treasury, effeetivelv exposed the superficial thinking ol the President and his advisors about economic m atters. Mr. Hanes, speaking to the Sou­ thern Statee Industrial Council, was entirely correct in saying that this adm inistration has never been will­ ing to face the causes of inflation and has no effective plans to meet it now, in spite of the measures proposed by the President in his message to Congress last Monday. It has, for example, as Mr. Hanes pointed out, no plans to refund the national debt, no plans for long-term obligations to lessen inflation, no -means of absorbing the expendable income th at will be created by the European Recovery Program , and, m ost im portant of all, no apparent intention to do anything about gov­ ernmental extravagance that keeps the national budget in the neighbor­ hood of $40 -billion. The burden of Mr. H anes’ address, of course, was tax reduction. If he is correct in his prediction that the Treasury will have a surplus of at least $7 billion at the end of the present fiscal year—and he said he could prove it—the opponents of tax reduction will find it hard to answer his arguments. This newspaper has generally taken the position th at it would be better to keep taxes at their present levels for a while and use every available dollar of surplus to reduce the na­ tional debt. But Mr. Hanes, we concede, offered some convincing arguments to the contrary. Certainly these high tax­ es have not prevented inflation, as the adm inistration said it wonld, be­ cause inflation has been getting worse and worse by the week, in spite of the high level of taxes. M r. H anes told the industrialists why, and his reasons sounded per­ fectly logical. As he expressed it, Federal taxes are included in the price tag of everything we buy. and, therefore, they contribute to higher prices. The tax reductions on pay rolls lestd always to demands for higher wages, and those higher wages are adm ittedly one of the many causes of inflation. Moreover, the heavy taxes on in­ dustry are depriving it of expansion capital at the verv time it is most needed to increase production, and it is increased nrbduction that will strike one of the hardest blows at inflation. There is no denying our experience after W orld W ar I, which Mr. Hanes recalled, when IoweT tax­ es actually brought in more revenue, because expanded -business enlarged the sources of taxation. That is a historic fact. Though we still believe that a time of nlentv is the best time to pay debts, if Mr. H anes’ prediction of a surplus of $7 billion actually ma­ terializes, and, if Congress could be persuaded, as he recommends, to re­ duce the budget to $28 to $30 billion by elim inating unnecessary Federal expenditures, most of the reasons for high taxes will disappear. H is argum enttwas cogent and con­ vincing, and m any of those who heard him were, no doubt, persuaded to re-examine their thinking on the subject of taxes.— Charlotte Obser­ ver. "IF MY PFftME.

A B u s y A g e Rev W. K. Isenhour. Hith Point, N. C. R4 This is indeed a busy age of tie world. There is so much to do. It seems that the vast m ajority of peo­ ple are rushing through life. I t is rush to work, rush to lunch, rush to amusement, hurry to bed and hurry off again in the m orning for the same things. W e fc a n t do things fast enough today. W e work fast, travel fast, eat fast, sing fast, worship fast, and m ust continue in order to keep up with the whirlpool of the times. Business requires fast hands, educa­ tion requires fast thinking, positions require people. Doctors m ust be fast in order to take care of their patients, merchants m ust be fast in order to take care of their enstomers, bankers m ust work fast to take in the money and to hand it out, farm ­ ers m ust have fast machinery so they can get their work done, teachers m ust w<frk fast so their students can make their grades each year, and travelers m ust have the fastest au­ tomobiles, or go on the fastest tram s, ships and airplanes so they can he on time. The busy, fast age has like­ wise caught the ministry. We have to hold short, fast services in order for the folks to get away as quick as they want to, and in many cases as quick as they must. We sing fast songs, pray faet prayers, dismiss quick and get away. W e are wondering at the fast age in which we live. Surely it means that we are fast approaching life’s end here, the return of the M aster and the final judgment. Too many are caught in the rush of the times and therefore making no preparation to m eet God. Others who w ant to be religious and godly don’t seem to have time, or won’t take time, to be holy. They let business take their time and attention. Otheis are so ejngroSsed in pleafnfres, excitement, worldliness, and the cares of life, un­ til they do not take time, to read and study God’s holy and eternal W ord, pray, win souls, visit the sick and help pilgrims on their way to the Celestial City. Even amid all th at demands our time and attention today it pays to settle down, ?et qniet, read the Bible, pray earnestly and sincerely, and wait before God in order to renew our strength, gain knowledge th at is Divine, and to know the will of God. “ Be still, and know that I am G od” . (Psalm 46:10). God would have us get alone with Him, settle down, be quiet, pray, worship Him sincerely and in the beauty of holiness, that He may bless us, strengthen us for life’s battles, toils, tests, trials, tem p­ tations, dnties, opportunities and re­ sponsibilities. I t always pays to obey God, and in getting still before Him, tantying, worshiping and waiting, He always rewards us with strength, grace, courage, purity and holiness, and sends us forth as burning and shining lights. I t is never tim e lost, but time saved, when we get still before God, pray and worship Him sincerely. W e can get as much work done, and db it better and with much less fatigue and worry, when we settle down to quiet, earnest, sincere worship somewhere in H is presence. He will enable us to use our time wisely, and get our work done better, and in due tim e, if we worship Him quietly and sincerely, and not get in a bisr hurry to get away. W e Tealize that we are in a busy age, but we know that the vast mul­ titudes of people are only busy in the tem poral things of this life and world, and not busy for our Lord. There is indeed more to be done for G od’s cause and kingdom than ever before, it seems to me, and we aTe getting such a little done. I f our churches today would turn their at­ tention less to the tem poral things of life, and more to the spiritual, it is unknown what could be accom­ plished. W e believe millions eonld be brought into the fold of God. Souls are lost everywhere, and that by mul­ titudes, and we get such a little done, generally speaking, toward bringing them to Christ. How we need godly men and women every­ where as laborers, pray-ers and soul- winners! The fields are white unto harvest, but the earnest, godly, holy sonl-winners are so few. “ The har­ vest truly is great, but the laborers are few : pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, th at he would send forth laborers into his harvest.” (Lnke 10:2). God would have us pray for more help in the great H a n e s o n T a x e s In charging the Adm inistration with thinking, too much about prices, which are only the effect of inflation, and too little about governmental extravagance and the oversupply of money, which are the real causes, John W. Hanes, form erly undersec­ retary of the Treasury, effectively exposed the superficial thinking or the President and his advisors about economic m atters. Mr. Hanes, speaking to the Sou­ thern States Industrial Co1Dncil, was entirely correct in saying th at this adm inistration has never been will­ ing to face the canses of inflation and has no effective plans to meet it now, in sp ite . of the measures proposed by the President in his message to Congress last Monday. ' I t has, for example, as M r. Hanes pointed out, no plans to refund the national debt, no plans for long-term obligations to lessen inflation, no m eans o f absorbing tlie expendable income th a t will be created by the European Recovery Program, and, most important of all, no apparent intention to do anything1 about gov­ ernmental extravagance that keeps the national budget in the neighbor­ hood of $40 billion. The burden of Mr. Hanes' address, of course, was tax reduction. If he is correct in his prediction that the Treasury will have a surplus of at least $7 billion at the end of the present fiscal year—and he said he conld prove it—the opponents of tax reduction will find it hard to answer his arguments. This newspaper has generally taken the position that it would he better to keep taxes a t their present levels for a while and use every available dollar of surplus to reduce the na­ tional debt. B ut Mr. Hanes, we concede, offeree! some convincing argum ents to the contrary. Certainly these high tax­ es have not prevented inflation, as the adm inistration said it would, be­ cause inflation has been getting worse and worse by the week, in spite of the high level of taxes. Mr. H anes told the industrialists why, and his reasons sounded per­ fectly logical. As he expressed it, Federal taxes are included in the price tag of everythin? we buy. and, therefore, they contribute to higher prices. The tax reductions on pay rolls leafl always to demands for hiarher wages, and those higher wages are adm ittedly one of the many canses of inflation. Moreover, the heavy taxes on in­ dustry are depriving it of expansion capital at the verv time it is most needed to increase production, and it is increased production that will strike one of the hardest blows at inflation. There is no denying our experience after W orld W ar I, which M r. H anes recalled, when lower tax­ es iietnallv broueht in more revenue, because expanded business enlarged the sources of taxation. That is a historic fact. Though we still believe that a time of nlentv is the best time to pay debts, if Mr. H anes’ prediction of a snrplus of $7 billion actually ma­ terializes, and, if Consrress conld be persuaded, as he recommends, to re­ duce the budget to $28 to $30 billion by elim inating unnecessary Federal expenditures, most, of the Teasons for higrh taxes will disappear. H is argum entiwas cogent and con­ vincing, and m any of those who heard him were, no doubt, persuaded to re-examine their thintincr on the subject of taxes.—Charlotte Obser­ ver. "IF MV PWWE.

Stockmen Are Warned Of Parasite Problem A warning against the growing number of internal parasites affect­ ing sheep and cattle has been is­ sued by disease prevention special­ ists.

Powerful bulbs had been substituted for the ordinary ones in the crys­ tal chandeliers. In addition, there w ere great klieg lig h ts g la rin g down, and, be­ fore the hearings w ere over, m ore than one pair of sun - glasses ap­ peared. Secretary M ar­ shall w as tossing off the billions as he sta te d the am ounts needed for long - range and short - range recovery, interim em ergency relief and m edium -range rehabilitation. “ Two billion, six hundred and fifty- seven m illions . . . five hundred and ninety-seven m illions . . . five hun­ dred m illions . . . one hundred and fifty m illions. . . .’’ Pencils scratched, senatorial pen­ cils as well as reportoriaL “Then that would be one mil­ lion . . .” mused Vandenberg aloud, confused by the ava­ lanche of digits. Everybody laughed. The m ere thought of ONE million among all those ciphers seemed absurd. Now Senator Vandenberg is very m eticulous about m aking state­ m ents concerning foreign policy. He never will agree to an ad libitum in­ terview on the air, won’t allow him ­ self to be quoted, except from a pre­ pared statem ent. The day after the "one million” rem ark, one of m y colleagues w as kidding him . “How did you like it, Senator,” he asked, “ W hen you m ixed up m il­ lions and billions, and it not only' went out over the air, but also your adding and m ultiplying w ent out to some 150,000 television spectators?” My friend expected the sena­ tor to hit the ceiling. But quite the contrary. He was so pleased when he realized the number of people television had brought into the caucus room to see and hear senators and witnesses dis­ cuss what Vandenberg consid­ ers such a vital m atter that he forgot his old prejudices. Television helped draw both the Republican and D em ocratic na­ tional political conventions to the city of Philadelphia. Television m ay have a very definite effect on the type of m an and woman who will enter public life in the future, and it certainly will have its effect on re­porting methods used in covering public events. Roger Clipp, general m anager of Station W FIL and WFIL-TV w as se­ lected to sell to political com m ittee­ m en the television advantages of Philadelphia, which is on the co­ axial cable—the highway th at car­ ries the im ages. It stretches from W ashington up into New England and west to Schenectady. Philadelphia’s advantage, said Clipp, is its central location which allows it to draw upon the pool of skilled television personnel located in the E ast and m akes it easily ac­ cessible for hard-to-get equipm ent. He estim ated that financing the job will require $175,000 for both con­ ventions. In addition to the regular sta­ tion coverage, television receiv­ ers and large screens will be placed in the basem ent of Con­ vention hall and in adjoining Commercial museum. In this way, all the party members who cannot find room in Con­ vention hall, pins about 25,000 spectators a day, can be accom­ modated close to the actual scene of activity. According to Clipp, coaxial cable and established relay links will tie together a t least 14 stations in the E ast. In addition there wiU be a special, experim ental East-to-W est network of stations to carry into the M iddlewest. As he talked to politicos, Clipp tossed off a few im pressive figures him self—m ore than 68% million peo­ ple populate the area to be covered by televising the conventions. That many people add up to some 257 electoral votes, he added. This is in contrast to the situation In 1940 when the GOP convention in Philadelphia w as covered by two video cam eras whose pictures reached an audience of less them 10,000 view ers. Of course, not everybody In every state where the coaxial cable stretches its length will be handy to a television set in Jnne and July of ’48, but we count four or five to a set ordinarily, and when a big show is on, the spectators jump to 30 per set. M ore and m ore taverns, hotels and public places are installing tele­ vision sets. In fact, out in Chicago, some people became concerned when they found th at children who otherw ise wouldn’t enter a tavern w ent in to see the televised baseball and football gam es. So they started a cam paign to purchase television sets which could be installed in schools and Sunday school rooms. They charged a nickel or dim e en­ trance fee until the set w as paid for. Changing Techniqaea Mark Development They say the W ashington corre­ spondents, as a result of all this televising, are getting “klieg eyes.” Someone suggested th at perhaps re­ porters will be televised right out of existence. They won’t.. The tele­ phone didn’t drive out the telegraph. Although the teletype has pretty m uch replaced the telegraph opera­ tor (m anual sender) somebody still has to w rite the m essages. Tou alw ays will have to have a reporter to strain the news through; you can’t deliver it com pletely in the raw . It takes a hum an brain, not a m achine, to interpret It. - A lready changes in the technique are developing. One, for instance, heard over the netw orks is unique in form , and television will im prove it. Perhaps you have listened to the ex­ cellent sum m ary of the United Na­ tions in which you hear portions of the speeches of the delegates which were recorded when they w ere m ade and between them an an­ nouncer reading a prepared script and a com m entator sum m arizing, explaining, interpreting. Now you will see, as well as hear, w hat goes on here, there and everyw here, just as you did at the televised hearings referred to earlier. In order to do this job of sum ­ m arizing and interpreting, a m an m ust be as thoroughly fa­ m iliar with the subject m atter as any reporter who w rites an im portant news story. He m ust have sufficient background and experience, enough general knowledge and specific inform a­ tion to select the proper record­ ed portions, to give them the weight they deserve and pick the salient points to be sum ­ m arized. He will be a reporter or com men­tator, writing his story with his Iipsll picking out the “ quotes” by pouring the stored-up soundwaves from the wax record or the wire recorder out through the spout of the m icro­ phone onto the air. The profession is the sam e. Only the technique changes. * * * President Trum an imbibed some 1,260 calories on the first m eatless Tuesday. But he’ll probably need m ore on Thursdays.

The situation in F rance had never been worse. It was with the terrifying possibility of a civil w ar looming as a result of the present deep unrest. Underlying cause of it aU is F rance’s prostrate economic condi­ tion and the prospect of a cold, hun­ gry winter. Even if U.

De GauUe is feared because he stands for totalitarianism . The real struggle for F rance is be­ ing w aged between the Commvmists and DeGaulle’s foUowers. M oderate Socialism is sim ply caught in the m iddle. F E D U P : W ith Russia To his Chicago audience, it sound­ ed as though U. S. Secretary of State G eorge M arshall w as full up to here with R ussia’s obtuse and exasperat­ ing tactics in the field of interna­ tional relations. He m ade it clear that the state of active resentm ent of the Soviet Un­ ion, to which A m ericans have been goaded by the obstructionist actions of R ussian leaders, can in no'w ise be interpreted as warm ongering. Thus, M arshaU charged Russia with blocking European recovery and w aging a deliberate anti-Am eri­ can propaganda cam paign. “It is tim e to can a halt to such inflam m atory practices,” he said. The U. S. refuses to “ stand by and watch the disintegration of the inter­ national com m unity to which we be­ long.” It w as one of the m ost angry de­ nunciations yet m ade against Rus­ sia by a high U. S. official, and there w as a distinct possibility that it w as a reasonably accurate reflec­ tion of the tem per of the tim es.

At the sam e tim e, w ith laudable objectivity, the editors expressed their belief th at Gov. Thom as E . Dewey of New York would be the one to receive the GOP bid. President Trum an, as virtuaUy the only conceivable D em ocratic candidate, w as chosen by the edi­ tors for th at party’s nom ination. They also conceded overwhelm ing­ ly that the D em ocratic delegation would give him the nod a t the na­ tional convention next year. Publishers’ AuxUiary distributed 500 ballots to country weekly edi­ tors in 48 states and tabulated the results on the basis of 218 com­ pleted ballots, representing a 43.6 per cent return. Although the straw poU contacted a representative section of sm all­ town editorial opinion, its results cannot be held entirely conclusive because of the unknown quantities present a t the tim e it w as conduct­ ed.

As a m atter of fact, a strong pos­ sibility existed th at M arshall m ight m ake just such a stand at the Lon­ don conference of foreign m inisters to discuss G erm an and Austrian peace treaties. Awaiting the confer­ ence with utm ost seriousness, the secretary of state told his Chicago listeners that: “ It is m y purpose to concentrate solely on finding an acceptable basis of agreem ent to term inate the pres­ ent tragic stalem ate and to speed the advent of a new era of peace and hope for Europe and the world.” ATOMS AND AGRICULTURE Isotope To Help Farm Income Not only did the atom ic bomb ex­ plosions at Hiroshim a and Nagasaki reveal the presence of a new and terrible w ar weapon, but they also m ay have ushered in an era of greater progress and prosperity for toe American farmer. R esearchers a t Oregon S tate col­ lege in C orvallis currently are con­ ducting experim ents which they be­ lieve m ay add millions of dollars w orth of produce to the nation’s yield in agricultural products. Key to that expanded production is the radioactive isotope, a by-prod­ uct of nuclear fission, which is be­ ing psed in experim ents that reach into every field of natural science. B ut a t Oregon S tate college and W ashington State college at Pull­ m an, m ajor experim ental em phasis is placed on agriculture. Investigation of the application of the atom to agriculture has been given im petus by the estim ate of William W. Waymack, member of the atom ic energy com m ission and Des Moines, Iowa, newspaper pub­ lisher, that radioactive isotopes may be instrum ental in increasing farm production in the U. S. by 240 m il­ lion dollars in one year. Over a pe­ riod of 10 years, such an increase would pay for toe two billion dol­ lars spent .on developing atom ic energy during the w ar. Value of the isotope to agricul­ tu ral research is sim ilar to th at •in other fields of research. Its radio­ activity perm its its use as a tracer through the organism s of plants and anim als. Applied in fertilizers to the soil, its progress can be traced in the living plant, providing a me­ dium for the understanding of plant life and nutrition never before avail­able.Several isotopes are being used to study soil chemistry of potash in the hope of finding m ore effec­ tive w ays of furnishing nutrition to crops. Another is being utilized to study the effects of application of lim e to the soil. Still other areas of research m ay yield im portant knowledge on absorption by grain of phosphate and chlorine from the earth. v r A vnsw * • In NR (Nature's Remedy) Tablets, there are no chemicals, no minerals, no phenol derivatives.

The concensus seems to be that with farm prices high, supplies short and demand strong, the thing to do is to let things slide for a while and let nature take its course.

I venture the prediction that the fortitude of Paul and Silas in that' night of persecution did more to im­ press the Christian religion upon Jerusalem than any sermon even the eloquent Paul ever uttered. We, too, can witness for Christ as we face difficult situations.* • * C ourageous L oyalty T OOK now a t Revelation 2:8-11, and 3:14-22, for the exam ple of the church a t Sm yrna, burdened by tribulation and poverty, but “rich” in the prom ise th at a crown of life aw aited them . It w as far m ore difficult to be a Christian in the first century than it is in the tw entieth century. By which I m ean th at the early Christians w ere few in num ber and without any backing of public opinion. They w ere despised as the lowly followers of the cruci­ fied carpenter of N azareth. Today, Christians are acknowledged as the best citizens in every com­ m unity. Even so, there are tests for us— tests th at win be too m uch for hu­ man courage and loyalty. If we are true to the. teachings of Jesus as they relate to everyday life, we shall need that same enduement which the Christians at Smyrna possessed, else our discipleship will shame the name of our Lord.• • « The Blood of th e Lam b T 1HE lesson concludes with that -*■ dram atic passage in Revelation 7:9-17, in which we behold the great white-robed throng about the throne of God, singing, “ Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks­ giving and honor and power and m ight be unto our God forever and ever. Am en.” Wbo w ere they? "TOese are they which cam e out of great trib­ ulation, and have w ashed their robes and m ade them white in the blood of the Lam b.” Loyalty under persecution is de­ pendent absolutely upon the Iife- 'iving power of the blood of the Lamb.

They are one of the most pleasant gifts to receive as well as to give, and with their vari­ety of colors you can make a spar­ kling array of them very appropri­ ate for holiday giving.It’s true that the jeUy season is past and few fresh berries are avail­ able but then many home mak­ ers have put up juice to be made into jelly. For those of you who don’t have those resources, try a canned or bottled juice like grape, and make use of the citrus fruits. If you want to do something par­ticularly nice, make a few batches of chutney and put them up in small jars. They’H be a welcome addition to anyone’s meat course, now that supplies of that food are low and we are trying to use the economical cuts for budget purposes. Grape Jelly.

B r e e d e r 's P r o g r a m P r o g r e s s i n g T h e Davie County Cooperative B reeders’ Association, Inc., began operations in August 1947, and is growing rapidly. The percentage of conception re­ sulting from first !services thus far has been better than the record iu most associations during the lirsi few months of operation. Every Davie County farm er, mem­ ber or non-member alike, is eligible to receive the same services at the same fee, which is $5.00 per cow bred. This $5.00 fee covers three ser­ vices for each cow providing thal many services are necessary. Some farm ers have thought that they could not use the services of the Association unless they were mem­ bers, but that is not the ca£e. If you have cows you wish to be bred artificially, call 337. Mocksville ■before 10:00 a. m., or get tags from M r. W. W. Howell, Inseminator, which can be attached to your milk cans, and will be delivered to Mr. Howell by the Milk Hauler. This will tell him when and where his services are wanted. Seihen from Forsyth is now being used in this county. The Associa­ tion is planning to get it from the American Scientific Breeding Insti­ tute stud in Asheville, N. C., etfec tive January I, 1948. Jersey semen will be available from that Stud, and all the bulls there are proven. The main advantages to be derived from the artificial insemination pro­ gram are: 1. Use of semen from proven bulls. 2. Disease control. • 3. More valuable off-spring. 4. No risk of handling bull. 5. Save feed and labor because farm ers would not need to keep a bull. !Farmers are urged to have cows bred as soon as possible. The reason for this recommendation is: I. Cows will freshen and be in heavy milk production when milk is scarce and the price is higher. F . E. PEEBLES, Davie County Faim Agent. T h e F a rm in g to n P . T .

MASQUERADE By ESTHER AND WARREN HALL JA N E T ’S lips opened in a sound- J less exclam ation. -DredI Swiftly, in one breath-taking instant, all her m ingled m em ories of D red Cum* m ings m erged and ruslked to m eet him as he cam e across the W aldorf lobby. He w as older — six years older, Janet reckoned quickly—and his face w as burgeoning slightly with the subtle prom ise of another chin. But he still wore his custom- m ade charm as debonarily as his well-tailored clothes. Jan et flicked down her glove and looked a t her watch. T hree twenty- five. This certainly w as no tim e to be renew ing the past. She leaned back in her chair and turned as though to speak to th e ' sm all boy standing a t her elbow. P erhaps Dred wouldn’t recognize her. P er­ haps he wouldn’t even see her and Geoff. “Janet, light of m y life!” Somehow she m anaged a casual sm ile. “ Gracious,” she said lightly, "it m ust be old-home week. How are you, D red?” H e grasped her outstretched hand and held it, for a m om ent, between both of/ his. The Cum m ings’ tech­ nique. She could rem em ber how that ardent pressure had thrilled her the first tim e they m et, and how hollow it had seem ed the day they parted, the day she w as leaving for Reno. ‘I sw ear,” he said, “you’re pret­ tier than ever — if that’s possible. But of course, dolls never age, do they — particularly D resden dolls with spun-gold hair and the bluest china eyes in the world. And that’s what you were, you know.

I should be eternally grate­ ful.” She w asn’t bitter about it now.‘ Not very bitter, anyhow. But he m ust never guess her desolation when she first realized th at other women w ere as indispensable to Dred Cummings as his brushes and palette. He m ust never know his m em ory had left a pall th at not even tittle Geoff’s sunny affection nor his father’s kindness could dispel. ‘Come, come, m y dear,” he w as saying. "T hat’s hardly fair. I wish you’d pose for m e again. Ju st once. Do you know, since our divorce I’ve hardly been able to touch a brush to canvas.” ‘Except for th at one-m an exhibi­ tion a t the Anderson G alleries," Janet said wryly, “ and those m u­ rals a t the fair and . . .” 'Oh, I suppose I've m anaged to struggle along,” he agreed. “But how about you?” F or the first tim e he noticed Geoflf. “ Why, Jan I You haven’t . . . this isn’t . . . ” Janet hesitated. The flush on her cheeks deepened. “This is m y job,” she said, reaching out and hugging GeoS close to her side. “Did you expect m e to go into a convent?” Cummings studied the boy a m o­ ment.'. “You’re a handsom e little fel­ low, at that,” he adm itted grudging­ ly. “How old are you?” “I’ll be five tom orrow,” GeoS boasted. “That’s why Daddy’s going to m eet us here. H e’s going to btiy m e a fire engine, the biggest one in the biggest store in New York.” “Five,” Cummings re fle c te d aloud. “I m ust say, Jan, th at isn’t very flattering. You w aited just about long enough for the ink to dry on the decree. W hat’s your nam e, son?” " I’m Geoffrey G.

"She never looked better, not even when she w as M rs. Cum mings.” "W ell, we try to keep her happy,” Huxley responded, sm iling w arm ly a t Janet. “Don’t we, Geoff?” “They are good to m e,” Janet said, and her voice w as suddenly husky. Geoff slipped his hand into hers. “How about m y present?” he w anted to know. “True enough," Cummings put in. “I m ustn’t get in the way of a fire engine. . And I’ll leave you, sir, to guard an old flam e. Goodby, Janet.” He pressed her hand a m om ent and w as gone. Janet turned to Huxley. “I’m sorry,” she said w earily. “I didn’t intend to . . . to . . “To pretend you w ere Geoffrey's m other instead of his governess,” he finished for her. “I realize that, Janet.

Huxley Sr., big, hearty and peren­ nially rum pled, w as striding tow ard them , an eager grin on his tanned face. “Hello, son.” He stooped and tousled the boy’s hair affectionately. “Hope I haven't kept you waiting long,” he said to Janet. She shook her head and raised her hands in a slight, helpless gesture. “M r. Cum­ m ings—M r. Huxley.” “D red Cum m ings?” Huxley asked w ith obvious interest. The other m an nodded. “ That’s right. Your wife has told you about m e, I suppose." Huxley glanced a t Janet’s strained face. “The papers have been full of those m urals of yours,” he said easily. Janet stood very still, listening to their conversation, watching their faces. D ispassionately she noted D red’s conceit, his pomposity.

P er­ haps, if you approve, we can give Geoff both.” Stassen at Best On Labor Issues W HERE I STAND By H arold E . Stassen (Doubleday—205 p.p.—$2) By Bill Schoentgen In an age of quasi-literats politi­ cians, M r. Stassen, the determ ined candidate for Republican presiden­ tial nom ination, has tugged a t the bootstraps of his social conscious­ ness and raised him self above the hurly-burly of the vote-getting mob to the rare level of a forthright po­ litical thinker who takes as his ken his own national society. The form er governor of Minne­ sota attem pts no probing into the intricacies of foreign policy and m akes no bones about adm itting it. H is thesis is th at once a sound, for­ ward-looking dom estic organization has been achieved, an equally con­ structive foreign policy m ay be worked out from th at basis. This is not to say that the lack of an ex­ pression on foreign policy is not felt in M r. Stassen’s book. It is one of the shortcom ings. M ore im portant, .Stassen’s lethar­ gic estim ate of foreign policy, his relegation of it to a secondary posi­ tion, his failure even to touch upon the voluminous subject of foreign aid, all would seem to indicate a preference for a kind of tolerant, elastic-nationalism . W hether or not this is the right tim e for the em er­ gence of a strong nationalistc phi­ losophy m the United States is a topic which is being subjected to universal debate. The m an from M innesota consistently refrains, in his book, from entering the discus­ sion. It is an om ission which un­ doubtedly will be brought piercingly to his attention by his m ore antag­ onistic colleagues. B ut it is in the area of labor prob­ lem s and labor legislation th at the w riter is m ost confident of. his ground. In a single monolithic chap­ ter he dissects and analyzes the varying status of the United States labor m ovem ent from 1920 to 1947, and nails down w ith a ham m er of undeceptive realism its inevitable relation to the prosperity and sound­ ness of the entire economy. Stassen offers his theories on la­ bor in the form of the testim ony which he presented before the sen­ ate labor com m ittee in F ebruary of this year, during the period when congress w as preparing the legisla­ tion which ultim atly resulted in the Taft-H artley act. T hat law, he believes, “will be the foundation for a fair, just and well balanced labor policy in A m erica.” In total, Stassen approves of the act. Specifically, he is opposed to three portions of the law as it stands: (I) The provision m aking it unlawful for a labor organization to contribute to election funds; (2). the non-Communist affidavit rule; (3) the “ultim atum ” stipulating th at ex­ isting union shop contracts cannot be renew ed unless and until an elec­ tion is held and a m ajority of all em ployees votes in the affirm ative. F or the rest of his platform , Stas­ sen turns to the issues of taxation (with which he deals from the stand­ point of "dynam ic capital” ), hous­ ing, survival of sm all business and the paucity of m edical care and hos­ pital facilities. To each of these he brings an application of the classic Republican theory of laissez faire and dam ns heartily all efforts to give the federal governm ent greater control in those fields.

It was Christm as Eve and everybody was in a gay and antici­ patory mood. Everybody, that is, except Larry. He had been reason­ ably happy until that morning when the whole world seem ed to have crashed about him. Opening the door of the car, he slid in behind the wheel and started it toward home. The face of Silas Henning, until fifteen m inutes ago his boss, cam e to his mind and again he heard the words that he dreaded to repeat to Rosine: “I know you're not happy In your work, L arry, and it’s not fair to either one of us when you don’t put your best efforts into what you’re doing, I think, therefore, that you’d better go elsewhere for a job. Today’s as good a day as any to sever connections.” Fired on Christm as Eve! Of course, what Henning had said was true. L arry wasn’t happy being a bookkeeper at M orrison's appliance Shop. He had always yearned to be a w riter, and wrote num erous short stories during his spare tim e. When Rosine told him of their ex­ pected second child he had taken the job at M orrison’s through sheer desperation. No longer could they live on their savings. He considered the job as tem porary, but it had He picked up the letter at the sam e' tim e she answered, “Truth m agazine.’’ lasted seven months with still no prospects of entering the field he desired. Henning had seem ed sym­ pathetic, although he had cooled suddenly the past week. Perhaps in his daydream ing he had been inac­ curate in his figures. At least Hen­ ning spared him any em barrassm ent if that were the case, but he could have waited until after the holidays to fire him. "And Bob Cratchit thought he worked for Scrooge,” he m um bled, pulling up before his house. U l S feet dragged as he trudged toward the door. He m ustn’t tell her tonight, he decided. He hoped he was capable of carrying off an act until the day after Christm as. Open­ ing the door, he let him self in as unobtrusively as possible. Rosine was on a step ladder in the living room, decorating the tree, while Chuckie, aged five, sat on the floor, agog at the proceedings. "Hello, darling.” his wife called out gaily. He tried to equal the hap­ piness in her voice as he replied, then kissed Chuckie and started for the kitchen. “T here's a letter for you on the radio,” Rosine said. “From whom?” His heart ieapeu hopefully a t her words and he hur­ ried toward the radio. He picked up the letter at the sam e tim e she an­ sw ered, "T ruth m agazine.” It was from Truth. His hanu .rem bled as he opened it. “Dear Mr. Shannon,” he read aloud. "O ur mu­ tual friend, Silas Henning, recently subm itted one of your articles for our cdnsideration. We believe it shows prom ise and since we were given a splendid recom m endation by Mr Henning, we are writing to ask if you would be interested in a job in our editorial departm ent. If so. call for an interview this week.” The telephone was ringing, but for a moment, Larry and Rosine m erely stood as though m ute, star­ ing at each other. Larry becam e conscious of the bell first and picked up the receiver. It was M r. Hen­ ning, laughing heartily. “ Bet I had you w onied, eh, L arry?’’ “ Mr. Henning! T didn’t know how did you. ’ Larry was tongue-tied R o sir. walked to his side, putting one arm gently about his shoulder “ I found tha. article you wrote on your son and the atom ic age and sent it in to Asherton,” Henning ex­ plained. “He’s a good friend of m ine and editor of Truth. Well, I won’t hold you, Larry. Just wanted to wish you a m erry C hristm as.” "M erry Christm as, Mr. h en . ning,” Larry said as the telephone clicked at the other end. “M erry Christm as—and thanks for the host one I’ve ever had.’’ D A V l E B R I C K C O M P A N Y DEALERS IN G O O D C O A L Day Rhone 194 • Night Phone 119 MocksviiIe1 N.

Jriettsas Planner’s D ream "W ith m ore m iners at work and m ore m achinery, Britain is produc­ ing 15,000,000 tons less coal per year than in 1941.” This statem ent by Mr. Churchill aptly describes the results of nationalization. It is strik­ ing th at w hereas England used to export large quantities of coal, she is now im porting as m uch as 600,000 tons from the United States in the present quarter. This is the picture 18 months after nationalization of Britain’s coal industry w as begun. L ast sum m er in England I had a conference with M r. M ichael Young, head of the research departm ent of the Labor P arty, and their chief economist. Thirty or so years of age, tall and slender, Mr. Young expressed great confidence in Eng­ land’s program of nationalization of industry. He hoped the program would proceed rapidly to include all industries, and he w as confident it would bring full em ploym ent, high productivity, and greater prosper­ ity. M r. Young’s hopes rem ain in the dream stage. W hat Results? High B ritish officials cam e to W ashington, last m onth. They w ant­ ed to discuss new term s on the A m erican loan. A London report of their interview with Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder tells of M r. Snyder asking the B ritish offi­ cials “Why nationalization had not produced m ore coal and if it has ham pered output.” M r. Snyder was also firm in inquiring w hether B rit­ ain, under the schem e of national­ ization, w as "still going to be a solvent concern.” With England sitting on vast coal reserves, yet im porting coal, one can understand th at Secretary Sny­ der is a bit dubious about the results of nationalization. In coal mining under nationalization there w as at first an upward surge of output. But soon the gain wore off, and turned into a dram atic loss. This experi­ m ent in governm ent m anagem ent of m ent in governm ent m anagem ent of industry sim ply did not com e through. Other industries are learn­ ing in the sam e m anner. The Labor governm ent, which has urged m ore construction of houses, now finds it necessary to reduce its quota of new houses by 80,000. The use of petrol is to be cut down by one-third; foreign tpiavel is to be reduced by one-half. An individual can now buy only 20 cents worth of beef a week. The fact that the food situation is extrem ely critical plus the failure of nationalized industries to get production led to the passing of B ritain’s Crisis Bill. D ictator Law The B ritish P ress described the Bill as giving the governm ent power to; 1. D irect labor within an industry or from one industry to another. 2. Replace inefficient m anage­ m ents in any industry by govern­ m ent nominees, which will m ean, in effect, taking over the business. 3. D ivert investm ents into certain, channels, and prevent them going into others. 4. Control hours and conditions of work, and even rates of pay. 5. Send supplies and raw m ate­ rials to certain industries, and keep them from others. 6. O rder goods to be exported to given m arkets, and prevent them going to others less profitable to the nation. These dictatorial powers are the true offspring of a governm ent m an­ aged economy. W hat will your today’s ,..irvest look like 10 years from today? Will it be just a m em ory 10 years old?

U* S , Tftesnry DtpartmtHt A GAIN at this Yuletide season the strains of Christm as carols are floating into the hearts and homes of millions of people, carry­ ing the spirit of Christm as. It is at this holiday season that the im pulse to sing grips everyone, from the crooning infant • to the oldest and m ost confirmed “monotone.” There are many kinds of carols, some for every mood and taste. Hymns or chants celebrating the Nativity have been sung since the earliest days of the Christian church. Some of the carols, like “Deck the Hall with Boughs of Holly,” “Good King W enceslas” and the wassailing songs, have no direct relation to the N ativity, yet they are fully expres­ sive of various phases of the Christ­ m as spirit. Best loved and m ost frequently sung of the carols is "Silent Night.” It was Christm as tim e in the ham ­ let of Obernsdorf, South Germ any, in 1818 that this beautiful song was world, was w ritten by Phillips Brooks, a Boston m inister. On a trip to the Holy Land, Brooks stood on the starlit hills on Christm as Eve and looked down upon the little city of Bethlehem lying still and peaceful in the night. On the next Christm as, back in Am erica, he wrote the song that was to become fam ous: "O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie . . . ” W ritten for Sunday school singing, the song at first was anonymous but, when the hym n gained im­ m ediate favor, Brooks adm itted au­ thorship. M any m usical settings of this beautiful poem have been m ade, the two m ost commonly used being by the English composer, Jo­ seph bBam by, and the American composer, Louis H. Redner. Charles Wesley, younger brother of John Wesley, founder of the Methodist denomination, shores with composed. A young priest, Father Josef Mohr, was returning from the bedside of a parishioner when he looked down upon the sleeping ham ­ let surrounded by snow. It lay there silent in the dark night, lighted only by the bright stars and a few glim­ m ering candles. That first Christ- m as, he thought, m ust have been like this and there cam e to him these w ords: "Silent Night, Holy Night!AU is calm, aU is Bright . . .” In his study he finished the verses, then took them to Franz Gruber, the organist, who caught the spirit of a hymn. “Silent Night” was sung for the first tim e in the little wooden church in Obernsdorf that Christ­ m as Eve. Later a group of Aus­ trian Tyrol mountain folksong sing­ ers introduced the carol to other parts of the world, including Amer­ ica. Published in 1840, it has been translated into alm ost every lan­ guage and is a favorite through­ out the world. “Oh, Come All Ye Faithful” or “ Adeste Fideles” is another hymn of the ages which apparently is des­ tined to live for centuries. It has been translated into 76 languages. The words are som etim es as­ cribed to St. Bonaventura, bishop of Albano, in the thirteenth century. It is m ost commonly believed, how­ ever, that it was not w ritten until the seventeenth or eighteenth cen­ tury. The hymn often is called the Portuguese hymn because it was sung in the Portuguese chapel in London about 1785 to the tune now Inseparable from it: "Oh ct-me, all ye taifhlrd, iovhtl and triumphant;, Oh come ye, oh come ye to Hetble- hem . ” An Am erican song which carries the spirit of Christm as is the sweet and beautiful carol, “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear ” The poem was written by Edmund H Sears, a New England m inister in a religious journal The music is by the Amer­ ican composer. Richard S tVillis, who was 'iriick bv the unusual benutv ol the poen: and “just set down Ihe notes ti.nt Ht the words” : "it I a-ie ttpfiti thi -Wdwgbt clear 'Tha' (ilar'-ari- 10-ig ot o ld " One of the most popular Yuletide hvmns. “It Came Upon the Midnight f e a r ” p-Uows the tradtional carol style The first two stanzas depict the angels hovering over the earth and singing their joyous song, the third brings wogds of com fort to the weary and the fourth prophesies the happy days when all the world shall join in the angel’s song. “O Little Town of Bethlehem ,” another Am erican contribution to the fam ous Christm as songs of the Isaac W atts the honor of being the greatest producer of hymns. His “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” first published in 1739, is am ong the m ost popular Christm as carols al­ though it has undergone m any changes. "Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the new-born King , . .“ The m usic is by that distinguished composer, Felix Mendelssohn-Bar- tholdy and hence was written long after Wesley died. W atts’ principal contribution to the world’s holiday joy is the carol, “Joy to the W orld.” The tune, "An­ tioch,” is an adaptation of H andel’s oratorio, “M essiah.” "Joy to the world, the Lord it come; Let earth receive her King . . .” W atts, too, was a m inister. While officiating as pastor of M arket Lane church in England his health failed although he was still a' young man. He turned to w riting verse and be­ cam e a great poet. “The F irst Noel,” m eaning the first Christm as, is one of the oldest songs about the coming of Christ. One of the ancient m edieval carols, it probably is about 400 years old. The poetry is crude, m erely a peas­ ant’s' attem pt to present the New Testam ent story in rhym e (thus making it easy to rem em ber) but thoroughly sincere and devout. The music likewise is simple, being prac­ tically one little strain sung three tim es, but it is vigorous, joyous, fresh and virile. "The first Noel the Angel did say, Il'v to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay . . .’’ Caroling or wassailing is an old English custom. The original words of this traditional English Christm as song began “Here we come a-was- sailing” and continued in the cho­ rus, “Love and joy come to you. and to your wassail too.” The old song commonly was sung by groups of revelers, particularly young women, who went about of fering a hot drink, a m erry song and a pretty curtsey in exchange foi a sm all gift. The word “w assail' comes from the Anglo-Saxon “Waes hael,” meaning “Be in health.” And, of course. M erry Christma: would be less m erry to both children and adults without that little jingle. “Jingle Bells,” to jingle all the way through the Yuletide season with its m ythical one-horse sleigh—which in m ost parts of America belongs to another day. But, sans the sleigh bells and the sleigh, who is there, child or adult, who does not love that gay and rollicking Christm as ditty to which dear old Santa claus comes skimming into town or to iso­ lated country hom es behind his eight reindeer. Inexpensive G ifts Can Be Made W itb Christmas Cards VAOST of us have stored away in attic boxes and desk draw ers, Christm as cards from last year and the year before that we Just couldn’t bear to throw away. These cards can be transform ed into charm ing Christm as gifts with a little ingenuity and a minimum of tim e on your part. Lam pshades are always welcome—and here’s a novel idea for design­ ing a special gift for a special person. If your friend is partial to floral ar­ rangem ents, New England farm scenes, cats—or whatever, select the cards accordingly. Take a plain parchm ent shade, brush entire outer surface with clear shellac and let dry partially. M eantime brush the back of the cards with shellac and expose to air for several m inutes until shellac reaches a stickv consistency.

Simple Instrcctisns Bused on Science You may not have a degree aa an engineer, Mrs. Housewife, but when you’re home canning you’re using scientific principles just as surely as a mining, chemical, electrical or other engineer. That is, if you fol­ low glass jar m anufacturer’s instruc­ tions, for they are based upon scien­ tific discoveries made over a period of a century and a half. Back in Napoleon’s time, a Paris confectioner, Nicolas Appert, set out to find a method of food preserva­ tion and win a 12,000-franc prize offered in 1795 by tie French gov­ ernment. Napoleon, like Frederick the Great, believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 16 years’ work, but his methods and equipment have been greatly im­ proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera­ ture beyond boiling is required for processing home foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not until 1860 did Louis Pasteur estab­ lish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four­ teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore," invented the "retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason ja r with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined zinc cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid which has sealing compound on the under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the lid with the finger. Sealing with the Come lid is made doubly sure by the new type metal band which bears down on the lid at three pressure points. Also reliable in seal is the light, ning type ja r with rubber ring, glass lid and wire bail. Many scientific experiments and jar improvements have perfected pro­ cesses for today’s home canning and it is upon them that instructions you will find in reliable home canning lit­ erature such as the Ball Blue Book are based. Follow these instructions and you become an “Engineer in Good Eating”— much to the benefit of your family’s health and increased pleasure at the table provided by de­ licious home canned foods.

I h e F i g h t I s O n Rev W. K. Isenhoor. Hi(b Point. N. C. R4 The fight between the liquor forces and the prohibitionists certainly is on. We realize that it is a fight be­ tween right and wrong, good and evil, sobriety and drunkenness, law and lawlessness, citizenship and non- citizenship, uprightness and “ down­ rightness,” order and disorder, no­ bility and criminality, peace and or­ der and strife and disorder, life and death, heaven and hell. We believe positively that every man and wo­ man, boy and girl, who are in favor of liquor aTe absolutely lined np with the forces of evil, darkness, sin, wickedness and the devil. It is said that alcohol kills more people than war, famine and pestilence combined. War only happens now and then be­ tween nation and nation, kingdom and kingdom, bnt the deadly work of alcohol goes on all the time with­ out ceasing. Famines and pestilences come and go, hut King Alcohol goes all tlie time. There is nothing too mean for the alcoholic forces to stoop to, it seems, in order to make a country and a nation wet, and to keep it wet. They will use all kinds of propaganda in their effort to deceive the public. They will try to make us believe that there will be less drinking, lawless­ ness and crime with liquor legalized than if it isn’t. Everybody ought to know this is a lie. Common sense tells any honest, conscientious man and woman that the more of an evil, sinful, wicked, destructive, cursed thing we have the worse it will be. Anyone with an ounce of sense knows that a thousand gallons of liquor will prodnce more drinking than a hundred, and that a million gallons will make more drunkards than a thousand. If it doesn’t cause more people to drink by turning liquor loose, why do the liquor forces want it tnrned loose? Then the wet forces try to make us believe that' the taxes from the sale of legalized liquor will help a town or city so much, or a county, or state. Why do they not likewise tell us what it costs by way of crime, to say nothing of the loss of life and the damnation of precious souls? Show me a city that has liquor stores that save anything from the sale of the cursed stuff. Count the cost of crime in the city and the county and see what, that amounts to. No, the liquor forces keep that in the back­ ground. Unless the liquor situation in our country is dealt with, and the nation goes dry again, we are headed for destruction. Poverty, sooner or later will overtake us. Want will stare us in the face. A drunken people and a drunken nation can’t produce, neither can it prosper. The death from drunkenness, disease, accident, murder and manslaughter will in­ crease. Tt is a problem now that is tremendous as to how' the drunks can be handled. Onr jail houses are being filled with drunks, our court dockets are crowded and our peni­ tentiaries are too small, or will be, to care for the prisoners. Maybe the ehaingangs can help out very much, if the prisons are overcrowded, as there is still lots of open country. The hospitals and insane asylums certainly are having lots to do in caring for the physically and men­ tally ill of the land, as it now is, on account of drink, and as drink in­ creases, physical and mental ills will likewise increase. We are wonder­ ing who will finance all this tremen- dous expense that looks us in the face. Who will care for the criminals, the sick and the mentally ill? It' is stated that we have more women and girls in liquor stores, or dealing out liquor, and drinking' it, than we have in colleges. Yet the li­ quor forces would make us believe, if possible, that they are helping edu­ cate the nation, and will educate it. No doubt we have people who are silly enough to believe that men who deal in liquor are interested in edu­ cating the youth of our land, and that they want to sell liquor in order to do this. Do you know what they are interested in? It is not in edu­ cating our young people, nor making of them good citizens, nor helping them to success in life, nor uplifting them physically, financially, mental­ ly morally nor spiritually. IT IS TO GET THEIR MONEY. So far as they cax-e they may go to the hospi­ tals, prison cells, ehaingangs, “ bug bouses”, penitentiaries, and to hell, just so they get their money. You know this is the truth. The fight between the wets and drys is on. Which side are you on? If you are with the wets, God pity your poor soul. You are helping to destroy the peace of your country, its prosperity and welfare; wreck, curse, blight and destroy life, curse homes and send multitudes of souls to hell. Absolutely. Why not tell the truth ? No one can cover up guilt and wickedness with a lie. God knows all things. Here is a quotation from a broken­ hearted mother: “My boy is in pris­ on. I have prayed for the good Lord to help him. I believe you can pray things to pass, and will von please help me pray for him? I am getting old, and this worries me very much. I don’t know what to do. Whiskey and bad company has brought him to where he is tonight. He has been in prison over a year.” God pity this poor mother and have mercy upon her wayward son. Yes, whiskey and bad company will ruin any youth. Multitudes of them are in prison today, in hospitals and insane asylums, and on their way to hell through whiskey and bad com­ pany. Many, many of them have al­ ready gone to the grave and to hell through strong drink. Then, do you blame me for fighting the cursed li­ quor traffic with all my strength, manhood, power and influence? Liquor arms more villians, breaks more laws, corrupts more morals, destroys more homes, engulfs more fortunes, fills more jails, grows more grey hairs, harrows more hearts, in­ dites more crime, jeopardizes more lives, kindles more strife, lacerates more feelings, maims more bodies, nails down more coffins, opens more graves, pains more mothers, quench­ es more virtue, tells more lies, un­ dermines more youth, veils more wi­ dows, wrecks more men, excites more passions, yields more disgrace and zeroes more hopes than any other enemy of mankind. Yet in the face of these startling facts, men continue to vote wet, make liquor, sell liquor, drink liquor, make beer and wine, sell and drink it. Where is the manhood and wo­ manhood of the nation? Where is the principal of the nation? What is wrong with the churches of the nation? Where is the Christianity of millions of people who claim to be Christians? If it isn’t time for America to wake up, repent, pray sincerely and vote dry, please tell me when it will ever be time. Mil­ lions of our young men and women are drinking and carousing. Thou­ sands of them are losing their lives, and even their precious souls. Crime is sweeping the nation. Liquor, beer and wine are crime-breeders. Yet our Government allows men to make and sell it; then imprisons men and wo­ men, boys and girls for drinking it, sends them to the ehaingangs, peni­ tentiaries and gas chambers. Oh. how inconsistent we arc! Our lead­ ers make it possible for millions to drink, then punish them for drink­ ing. Who is more guilty, the man who puts the bottle to his neighbor’s lips by his vote, or by his influence, or makes it possible by his silence, or the man who drinks, gets drunk and commits crime? Think of it! Now, in the sight of Almighty God, who is the guiltiest? Church mem­ ber, professed Christian, WAKE UP! If you are in the least lending you influence to the dirty, damnable beer, liquor and wine traffic, then yon are wrong and may lose your soul. The National Voice, an authority on the ravages of beverage alcohol, Teveals that there are 600,000 chronic female alcoholics in the United States today, and that one out of every four confirmed drunks is a woman. When the police of our great cities report the alarming in­ crease of arrests of thirteen-year-old girls for drunkenness, and J. Edgar Hoover, head of the T1BI, tells us that 39 per cent of all the girls ar­ rested is for drunkenness, it is time for the Sunday School and the church to, take definite steps to teach child and youth life the evils of alcohol and the benefits of temperance and sobriety. When we realize that there are 430,000 licensed places in our nation where liquor is sold, and that we have only 270,000 churches of all de­ nominations, and that church mem­ bers patronize the majority of these places, in one way or another, it is time for the Sunday School and I eliuvcli to wake out of their sleep. We patronize these places when we eat at restaurants and buy from groceries and drug stores where alco­ hol is sold. The Woman’s Christian Temper­ ance Union reveals that the money wasted on liquor and gambling would buy ten $25 war bonds for every man, woman and child in the United States. We have four bar­ maids dispensing alcohol for every one girl in our colleges preparing a life of usefulness. At this rate what on earth are we coming to? If it isn’t time to wake up and go to pray­ ing and fighting for our rights as a nation, and against the awful wrongs of the liquor business, when will it ever be time? O God help us. R a c i a l Q u e s t io n If folks up north would leave the south to settle its own race equality question it might be handled with a little less bitterness. The hard thing about it all is that the colored folks and the white folks here ill their homelands seem to agree very well until some folks away from here, knowing little about conditions, get to advising and suggesting, making motions and generally stirring things up. If you’ve noticed too in the more recent stir ups out conservative Ne­ gro leaders are not out front leading the 'campaign. They want right op­ portunity for their race, they realize in many an instance the scales of justice are not swinging level in every community, but they have their feet on the ground and know that it is with and through the ad­ vancement of the best thinking and ideals in and among their race that the real progress can come. Plenty of us thinking clearly know that some opportunities need to he more fairly divided for the races who call the south their home. But tearing down barriers of race will not serve the purpose. Such a thing is under discussion however, inter­ racial public schools being advocat-1 ed as standard in opportunity. Who­ ever holds that idea ought to know that if it does eventuate it will mean only, for many a place in the south, i the closing of public schools and the !throwing, of white influence and money into private and church schools. Right now seems a poor time for such questions to be agitated, right now when so many things of importance to our very life and preservation of our government are concerned, right now when folks’ nerves are a bit edgy anyhow. And judging from the way some of the best of the Negro leaders are hold­ ing their peace it would appear they know it too and that the great crn- sade is primarily stirred up by those who think less of final and perma­ nent results than of present activity and publicity.—Taylorsville Times. F e r t i l i z e r S c a r c e Tlie fertilizer situation remains critical and will probably continue through 1948. There seems to be more nitrogen and phosphate this year providing the fertilizer plants can move out of their plants processed material. Some plants can’t take in any more nitrogen solution for lack of space. Mr. Coltrane, Assistant Commis­ sioner of the N. C. Department of Agriculture, says, “ One manufac­ turer recently informed me that he was losing, about six tank cars of nitrogen per week because he could not take it in for lack of space. These six cars will be forever lost because thejr lWill never be made. The producers of nitrogen solutions are in need of a market now, but a lit­ tle later on they will he unable to supply the demand.” Each farmer is urged to place his fertilizer order early, and to try to get an early delivery. Don’t wait until you need the fertilizer to place your order. It is now difficult to get scarce things that way. Get the fertilizer analysis that is best suited for the particular crops on your farm.

The tests w ere conducted by the Uni­ versity of Illinois in cooperation with A & P stores. Tapioca Staich Made From New Waxy Com A substitute for tapioca starch now is being m ade from waxy com . It is enough like the real tapioca to h a v e been used successfully for a few pur­ poses fo rm e rly c o n s id e re d the rightful d o m ain of tapioca. The particular type of waxy com w as discovered in China by an A m erican m issionary. Seeds w ere sent to the United States 37 years ago. From this seed has been de­ veloped a satisfactory w axy hybrid. Fanners Urged to Pay Cash ior Machinery In m any cases it will be good business for farm ers to spend m ore m oney for labor-saving m aehineiy. M any farm ers are now in position to pay cash for m achinery. By pay­ ing cash, they avoid the risks of having to pay this year’s debts out of next year’s incom e. They know th at debt paym ents, which seem reasonable at present incomes, could be too heavy if incom e fell off sharply. With increased shortage in labor and the high cost of labor, m any farm ers will find it profitable to gear their purchases of m achinery tow ard those th at offer the m ost in labor saving. Home Belrigeiators Supplement Lockers The idea of supplementing central locker plant service with home-type refrigerators that include com part­ m ents for freezing and for storing frozen foods is one th at appeals to farm ers who are equipped w ith elec­ tricity. L arger frozen cabinets now are available for farm use in which a large part of the w inter supply of frozen fruits, vegetables and m eats m ay be stored. In som e cases it still m ay be advisable to use com­ m unity or co-operative locker plants for the larger am ount of frozen foods needed.

If that m eans th at tariffs are raised again, history will be repeating itself. As the am using Illustration in this column reveals, the gentlem en have been busy building up and tearing down the tariff w all ever since 1913. What will the next section of the wall—built after 1940—look like? The reciprocal trade agreem ents drawn up at the recent Geneva con­ ference which re- Baukhage suited in a num ­ ber of slashes in im portant duties and inspired the K nutsen and Mil- likin statem ents brought forth an even louder blast from the Ameri­ can Tariff league. At the present writing, however, there does not appear to be any­ w here near the strength of senti­ m ent in favor of building up the tariff wall th at there was when the Smoot-Hawley act raised it to an all-tim e high (47 per cent) in 1930. From the tim e of the Civil w ar the tariff wall had grown alm ost every tim e congress acted. Then cam e Woodrow Wilson who dem anded th at the country be set free from conditions he thought “ m ade monopoly not only possible, but easy and natural.” The Under­ wood law which brought the im port duties down from 37 per cent to 27 per cent, w as his answ er. U nder H arding they went up about 35 per cent, reaching an all-tim e high un­ der Hoover. It has been an exciting eon- test. Although Cordell Hull as secretary iff state m anaged, w ith Roosevelt prestige, to pull them down again, they w ere still I per cent higher than the Ford- ney-M cCumber act raised them under H arding. U nder the agree­ m ents negotiated by Secretary Hull, our exports increased, but foreign com petition for various reasons did not take advantage of the situation to any great ex­ tent. There w as no avalanche of “ cheap foreign goods” to con­ tend w ith. The D em ocrats in the pre-W ilson era alw ays w ere banging aw ay on this issue and there w ere m any colorful debates. The low tariff ad­ vocates had to resort to ail sorts of m eans to get a hearing because they were backed by no special interests. Their “client” w as the vague and anonymous Am erican consum er. The high-tariff pleaders w ere able to present their cases arm ed with the best legal talent available, whole libraries of statistics and a thorough knowledge of the particular indus­ tries they represented. And they had another great advantage in the num ber and geographically diverse industries fighting for protection for their particular product. Enough special interests needed enough help from other special in­ terests so th at log rolling w as easy— there w as usually a m ajority for everybody’s gismo. T hat is why the only practical w ay trade agree­ m ents can be reached a t all is to have them negotiated like any other international agreem ent, through the state departm ent, which has no regional strings to tie it down. R ight now the consum er is being heard from in no uncertain term s, and any argum ent for lower prices wins a hearing. T hat is evidenced by the speed with which congress tackled the anti-inflation suggestions presented both by the President in his m es­ sage of Novem ber 17 calling for a 10-point program and those offered by Senator Flanders of Vermont and other Republicans. Despite considerable influential opposition, the D em ocrats took for granted th at a t least four out of the President’s ten points had a good chance to be adopted. In fact one, authority to ration certain foods, al­ ready had been suggested—by a Re­ publican—Senator Flanders. None of these points involves tariff cuts, however, and those cuts already m ade under the G eneva agreem ent are still largely academ ic because m ost foreign countries aren’t In a position now to produce for ex­ port to any great extent. N ext session we can expect them to be debated. So far there have been alm ost as m any com plaints from supporters of the reciprocal trade agreem ents act as from its opponents. Its most enthusiastic backers charged that it had not been pushed hard enough, that the state departm ent had not used all of the power which it had for fear a t arousing the anim osity which would cause its repeal. At present, those favoring a freer flow oif trade are in a better position to urge their cause because it is evi­ dent that we cannot continue to give supplies to Europe under a relief program or to lend m oney for the purchase of our goods unless we en­ courage E uropeans to sell to us. Otherwise, they’ll land right- back w here they are now. Even if they build up their industries so they are able to produce goods, unless they can sell som e of those goods they won’t have the dollars to pay back w hat they owe and buy our goods. T hat is why w arnings th at strings m ay be attached to the act have an ominous sound. “Strings" would m ean either lim itation on the am ounts by which tariffs can be lowered through reciprocal trade agreem ents, or rem oval of author­ ity to m ake reductions without the approval of congress of the particu­ lar item involved. T hat would sta rt log rolling again, put an end to our foreign trade and have us back tak­ ing in each other’s washing for a living. W o r ld ’s P r o s p e r ity H m g s in B a la n c e W hat happens to the as-yet-un­ built section of the wall of the draw ­ ing will affect' the entire set-up. of world trade. It can m ake all the work of the international conference on world trade and em ploym ent go for nothing and destroy any benefits derived from a successful European relief plan. The 62 nations now gathered a t the trade conference in Cuba represent countries doing about 95 per cent of the world’s trade, and the interesting thing is that although R ussia and m ost of her satellites refused to attend, two of the countries under the influ­ ence of Moscow—Finland and Czechoslovakia—did tnrn up. Thereby hangs a tale. It is be­ lieved by som e keen observers that despite all efforts to kill the E uro­ pean recovery plan, the Soviet Un­ ion knows very well that, if it works, it m ay be to her selfish interests to get on the bandwagon, a t least to the extent of lifting the iron curtain high enough to get som e of the m uch-needed goods from W estern Europe under it. And the way that could be m anaged would be to have some of the Soviet’s “friendly coun­ tries” in on any advantageous trade deals that m ight be m ade. W estern Europeans say that this would be the m ost effective way to break down the Comm unist grip on these countries. M eanwhile it is realized In W ashington th at this country cannot carry out its far-flung foreign policy unless th at policy is sold harder than Comm unist propaganda is selling its brand of bortsch. Good salesm anship begins a t home. And a lot of salesm anship is needed right here. I rode down on the trolley with a very intelligent secretary to a congressm an who said to m e: “I wish I knew what the M arshall plan w as all about.” P re m d e n t U rg e s S a v in g s B o n d s Speaking of salesm anship, the President is believed to have given the green light on an intensified sale of one of the im portant anti-inflation m easures recom m ended in his speech when he said: “ Another effective weapon . against inflation is increased savings by the public. Every dollar that is saved instead of spent is a dollar fighting against inflation. In order to encourage additional savings, the govern­ m ent should intensify its vigor­ ous efforts to sell, savings bonds.” BARRING THE WAT . . .

A E irs REVIEW Laborites Keep Power; Ask Oil, Coal Ration LABOR TEST: Clean Slate In G reat B ritain the Labor party had been worried over the outcome of the by-election in the southern town of Gravesend. Richard Acland, a rich baronet, w as carrying the Labor party’s banner against F rank Taylor, an ex­ furnace stoker, the Conservative candidate. A seat in parliam ent was not the only thing ■ a t stake. The election w as of m ajor im portance as a test of strength between the two parties. I t w as a hard fought battle, and Acland, the Laborite, w as elected I to P arliam ent by a m ajority of 1,675 votes—a clear cut defeat for the Conservatives. The British people, the Labor party announced, retained their confidence in their governm ent. N evertheless, the 1,675-vote m ar­ gin of victory w as considerably sm aller than the 7,056-vote Labor party m argin th at had been piled up in the sam e district in 1945. Labor w as still in the driver’s seat, but clearly had lost som ething of its original strength. However, the party had kept its slate clean; it had not lost a single by-election since it first w as sw ept into power. P erhaps one reason for the Labor party’s continued popularity was that, despite all else, it w as doing a good job of distributing equally w hat food and other goods were available in Britain. The food ra­ tions of the poorer people w ere ap­ proxim ately the sam e as those of the rich, and th at fact continued to carry a lot of weight with the m ass of voters. OIL RATION: Anti-Inflation When President Trum an, in his celebrated “ 10 points against infla­ tion” address to congress, asked for lim ited authority to im pose ration and price controls on basic com­ m odities, it w as taken for granted that they w ere food com m odities alone. F irst indication th at this m ight not be a correct interpretation of M r. T rum an’s proposal cam e when the departm ent of interior asked congress for power to fix price con­ trols and rationing on coal and oil as p art of the anti-inflation pro­ gram . O scar L. Chapm an, undersecre­ tary of the interior, told the house banking and currency com m ittee that grave shortages and price ad­ vances w ere threatened in the two basic fuels. T here w as no w ay of telling, he said, w hether such controls actually would have to be imposed, but he insisted that the governm ent should have authority to do so, just in case. It is not probable that congress will give the governm ent power to control oil and coal, but the inci­ dent serves to reflect the current point of view of the adm inistration that a return to w artim e rationing and price controls is the quickest and m ost effective way to buck in­ flation. President T rum an disclosed the policy first in his speech at the open­ ing of the special session of con­ gress. The interior departm ent’s re­ quest for control of coal and oil probably was a planned follow-up. ? Current Events ?

Hannegan has eased him self out of the public political eye. Little m ore tjian a m onth after he had quit his job as D em ocratic na­ tional chairm an — because of ill health—he turned in his resignation as postm aster general. To replace Hannegan as head o f the nation's post office, President T rum an nam ed 62-year-old Jesse M. Donaldson, first as­ sistant postm aster general, who has had 42 years in the postal service. It was the first tim e a president ever had.dipped into the ranks of postal “career m en’’ to fill the top job in Donaldson fte departm ent. Donaldson is one of the men who cam e up the hard way. His career with the service be­ gan with his appointm ent as a city letter carrier in Shelbyville, Hl., in 1908. Hannegan, m eanwhile, had no in­ tentions of going into retirem ent. He has purchased a substantial interest in the St. Louis Cardinals. W ORKJNt O N T H E R A IL R O A D C a r S h o r t a g e P a s s e s P e a k About the only good thing that can be said concerning the railroad freight car shortage is that the w orst is probably over, but the pres­ ent inadequacy will hang on for a long tim e. Despite investigations, program s and prom ises for several years, there are actually about 41,000 fewer freight cars now than there w ere a t the end of the war. A ttem pts to place the blam e for the situation seem to be futile. Am erican railroads have had 100,000 cars on order for som e tim e. C ar builders have declared that steel w as not available. A program form u­ lated in February of this year called for an output of 7,000 new cars m onthly by June and 10,000 by Sep­ tem ber. The quota w as not m et; and, al­ though the steel industry says that it has supplied the necessary steel, car builders contend that the short­ age still has not been completely cured. T here was one sign, however, that m ight indicate a turning of the tide. In Septem ber the railroads reported 7,182 new installations, which was 668 m ore cars than were retired during that month. Sm all as it was, it w as the first net gain in 25 m onths. Col. J. Monroe Johnson, director of the office of defense transporta­ tion, said he is proceeding under a White House directive to obtain a rate of 15,000 cars monthly by July, 1948, alm ost double the present out­ put. He said he had com m itm ents from the Iron and Steel institute for a 22 per cent increase in steel allot­ m ents for new car production. The car shortage has slowed down of loadings in October the average daily shortage was 39.430 cars. Cur­ rently it is about 33,000. UiC^C Ss..-- -. _js, the rail­ roads are handling m ore carloads of revenue freight than they have since August, 1930, when the num ber of pvp 1Io1'1'? cars w as 500,000 greater than now.

During the past 12 years he has handled four and a half milUon of their letters and packages. He can­ not be w ith them this year. He has answ ered his M aster’s caU. L ast April, death claim ed O scar L. PhiUips, postm aster of Santa Claus, Ind. He w as very real to the children of Am erica. He answered their letters and saw th at their re­ quests w ere complied with. He had the local A m erican Legion as his helpers. , B ut the children of Am erica will not be neglected this year. W alter Van Winkle, a friendly m an who worked w ith Santa Phillips, has taken over as “ acting chief Santa Claus of Santa Claus, Ind.” Santa Van Winkle and his.m any helpers started work in October, working 20 hours a day, day after day, in order that good Uttle boys and girls would be happy, even though their Santa of form er years has been promoted to a m ore im portant duty. §i>flent H tff& t! l o t ? m w M ore than a hundred years ago, Father Josef Mohr, pastor of the Uttle Church of A rnsdorf in A ustria, was returning home late the night before Christm as Eve. He loitered for a m om ent on a hiU overlooking his hom e vUlage. It w as a beautiful starU t night, and he was im pressed with the ex­ quisite stillness that covered the scene below him . His peaceful re­ flections brought to m ind the silent holy night when C hrist w as bom in Bethlehem. Inspired, he wrote “Si­ lent Night—Holy Night.” Im pressed with the beauty of the poem, his friend, .Franz G ruber, put it to m usic and on C hristm as Eve, while Franz played, F ather Mohr sang “Silent Night’’ to his congregation. From that night on, the beautiful strains of “Silent Night” have filled the air throughout the world at Christm astide. Firecrackers Used A t Christmas Tim e In some southern communities firecrackers and other fireworks are used at Christm as tim e. F ire­ crackers had their origin in the Ori­ ent, probably in China. During the 14th century they w ere introduced into Italy and used on Saints’ days, at Christm as and other religious fes­ tivals. The custom spread to Spain F rance and other Latin countries. 0 Make Extra Gifts By Baking Goodies In Home Kitchens Cookies m ake a wonderful holi­ day gift!

THE illlilllT^ InIemfttiOfMi UnilernT^lBj U lPn Sunday Schod Upw By IOUIE D. HEWTON, D. 0. SCRIPTURE: Revdaflon 8-15; Isalab i:2-7; Luke 2:1-20.DEVOTIONAL READING: Luke 2:8-20. The Prince oi Peace Lesson for December 21,1947 D r. Newton TT IS C hristm as now th at we are all thinking about, and our lesson for Sunday helps us to rightly ap­ proach this blessed season of joy and thanksgiving. It is suggested that we read Revelation 8-15, Isaiah 9:2-7, and Liflre 2:1-20. “For" unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the govern­ m ent shall be upon his shoulder; and his nam e shall be called W o n d erfu l, C o u n se llo r, th e M ig h ty G od, T he Everlasting F ather, The Prince of Peace,” Isaiah 9:6. Thus Isaiah sings of the coming Saviour, and in countless hearts this glad refrain will sound and re­ sound as we come on in these w ait­ ing hours for Christm as Eve. It is the season of giving, because God m ade the B est Gift.* * * T he C hristm as S tory W E NEVER truly observe Christ- m as until we live again in the m essage of John 3:16: “F or God so loved the world th at he gave his only begotten Son, th at whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The Christmas story is the story of God’s love. There is not enough goodness in m an to produce the Christmas spirit — the true Christmas spirit. Only God could so love, and only God can create within our hearts the proper atti­ tudes to worthily celebrate the birth of the Saviour. 1 Wisdom is fled from us if we drop down into the lowlands of com­ m ercializing the C hristm as season by seeking gain for ourselves.• * * T he G reatest G ift 'X 'H E gift of Jesus is the greatest -*• gift for the reason that it repre­ sents divine giving. Jesus w as not forced to give him self. “ God com- m endeth his love tow ards us in that while we w ere yet sinners, Christ died for us.” The gift w as but an expression of the love th at lay be­ hind the gift. If God so loved and gave, let us, by his indwelling Spirit, seek so to love and give. Boys and girls will thus find the answer to their desire to inake suitable gifts to parents, and parents to chil­ dren. Friends will thus find the answer to the often perplexing problem of what to buy for ex­ change with..someone whom you suspect will 1 buy something for you. P erhaps it would be a wholesome thing if .we could be delivered from the tyranny of “ exchanging things” a t C hristm as, and be free to give as our hearts prom pt us. * ♦ * ■ T he P rince of P eace H pH E bold prophecy in Revelation 11:15, which reads: “The king­ dom of the w orld' is becom e the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever,” is the lifting thought of this lesson. T hat is Christm as ful­ filled! How this prophecy challenges our present world of fear and suspicion! Instead of the hysteria which has characterized our na­ tion for months, we should have been strong in the gentleness of God — strong enough to dismiss the thought of pillage by another —gentle enough to drive Com­ munism from the earth. F or let us well rem em ber that the program of the Prince of Peace is not one day out of the year. It is an enduring program of progress am ong all m en of goodwill.• * * The Song of T rium ph TN VAIN shall we observe another * Christm as season if we allow it to come and go without joining in the song of trium ph which the angels would ever teach us. There is hope for this bedarkened world. There is a song for every heart. There is a light for every home. There is a gift for every life. "Glory to G oi in the highest, And on earth peace.” It is, then, the high and holy task of every Simday school teacher, ev­ ery parent, every Christian, to sing this song of trium ph. Only through personal faith in the Lord Jesus C hrist can burdened, frightened souls catch the cadence of the choir­ ing angels. But we have the prom ­ ise of God th at every seeking soul m ay have this peace, this poise, this victory. Perm it me, please, to wish for you, and each of you, the blessed experience of the inward happi­ ness of Christmas with Christ.

The Davie County Board of Edu­ cation and the Davie County Com­ missioners arc working on school building needs for all schools of the county. Acting upon requests from committeemen and interested citizens of each school district in the county the Board of Education has made plans for essential buildings and equipment to provide minimum stand­ ards for the school children of the county and to meet the problem of overcrowded conditions now existing. Consideration of means of financ­ ing an overall building program in­ volving an outlay of $800,000 was con­ sidered at a joint meeting of the Board of Education in November, and at the regular meetings of the boards Monday, December I, according to Curtis Price, County Superintendent of Schools. Pre-planning of buildings was start­ ed by the Board of Education more than a year ago when committeemen, representing their various communi­ ties, came before the Board and pre­ sented what they considered to be necessary to carry on an adequate school program. Acting on these re­ quests, the Board of Education se­ cured, through the Federal Works Agency, sufficient funds to finance sehool building plans without county obligation. John R. Hartledge, Salisbury, is ilie architect for the Board of Edu­ cation. AU plans for schools are final­ ly approved by the State Department of Public Instruction, W. F. Credle, Building Supervisor. I As requested by the committeemen * iil' sehool districts in Davie County, the Boards plans include buildings and equipment as follows: , Farmington — Auditorium, lunch room, Home Economies Department, toilet facilities, first aid room, teach­ ers’ rest room, dressing rooms, sewer _ disposal facilities, and equipment for I all new structure.

TAKES 0 AVAGELY, old Adam Courtney ° twisted his cigar-yellowed mous- Iaek From the parlor sola, the muffled sobs of D iana, his shapely and My W W k ex­pressed an unshakable defiance. He glared at her with all the anger a deep love would perm it. “ I—I AM going to m arry Jim Bailey,” she chanted monotonously. “I don’t care if he HASN’T got the m oney he ought to have to sta rt in business. I don’t care if he HAS only — three thousand instead of six.” The slender legs kicked hys­ terically. A slipper flew across the room . “I LOVE him , doggone him ! 1 LOVE him!” • Grim ly, Adam Courtney w ent for his hat and his heavy cane. Grim ly he left the house. He knew w here to find Jim Bailey. B arred from calling on D iana, he would be w aiting at the club—the big social and athletic club—for her to join him for the dance tonight. In the old days on the W est Coast, he thought angrily, a m atter such as this m ight have been settled with a .45. Now business and money and con­ vention had over­ taken him — after his marriage, late in life. Diana was all he had, since the young wife he adored had died in childbirth. E ver since th at day, his only child had been his only interest, taking the place of her m other before her. N ever before this had she defied him , turned from his love to the love of someone else. As things stood to­ night, however, he had lost her—un­ less somehow he could hold her back. Surely this called for desperate m easures. As he stalked into the club, he spied the ruddy, m uscular young object of his quest. In the black and white of dinner clothes, Jim Bailey sat watching a game in the busy card room. Jim rose, and the table fell silent, as the grim old Best and D iana, on the one hand, and D iana’s father on the other. Under ordinary circum stances, no one would expect him to agree to risk losing his- m oney and his hope of future happiness on the turn of a card. B ut suddenly it had dawned on everybody th at this situation w as not ordinary. Only two weeks before, the old m an had caned a new spaper editor who had intim ated that Adam Court­ ney, in the old days on the Coast, had been a professional gam bler. Ko one believed a word of the accu- satin. Eiit m , In reke publicly to play would tell the world you be- M wtet fiu editor Md written, and were afraid of being rooked. Jim Bailey wet his lips. “Do you w ant to play w ith chips, sir, or cash?—but even m oney!” looked a t his cards. W ithout hesita­ tion, he pushed an equal amount forward. Then each drew cards. Jim Bailey held up three, cards and. drew,-two. Adam Courtney asked for but one. The old m an looked a t the card. .Quickly he pushed forw ard his whole rem aining pile. T HE spectators glanced a t one an. other. Som e thought they had glim psed the two hands. To start with, as they afterw ard explained, Jim Bailey had held three aces, Adam Courtney three kings. On the !I I 11. .1 TL. ^jj aces pat, had caught two queens. Tin lie tad to liijts postt full-house on this deal. But the old man had caught another king, and held four—the winning hand. Would Jim Bailey put up his whole L uJim Bailey,” Adam Courtney thundered, “ are you m an enough to take a gam ble?” Jim Bailey sim ply stared. “I understand you have three thousand in the savings bank,” old Courtney said. “I’U put up two dol­ lars to every one of yours. Give you two to one on every bet. Six thous­ and to three thousand, table stakes. If you lose—you w in agree to leave my daughtera lone." “And w hat if I win?” asked Jim Bailey. ‘W in?” Adam Courtney’s bony face paled. “Win—you m arry her, sir, of course.” Jim Bailey hesitated, and the whole room stopped breathing. Ev­ erybody understood the struggle that had been going on between him “Cash!” said Adam Courtney grim ly. Next evening, each bearing his stake of three thousand dollars, they took their seats in the card room. “Draw poker,” announced Adam Courtney, tearing open the pack. “Table stakes. And,” he leaned a w te table and Wed Jim Bailey In tie eye,"A agreem ent!” “ Okay,” Jim Bailey said. “Will you cut, sir?” Open gam bling w as not perm itted in the club. But w hat employee would dare stop this? Like wildfire the news spread. M em bers hurried in just in tim e to see the old m an lose five hundred dollars on a full house, against Jim Bailey’s four tens. At first, luck seem ed to favor Jim Bailey. But presently the calm , grim old m an began to win. Then the old m an lost three large bets. The stacks of m oney stood about even again—each three thou­ sand dollars. Jim Bailey dealt. Adam Courtney looked a t his cards. He counted out five hundred dollars.

Jim Bailey’s hand shook as he riffled his rem aining pile. Since the old man hardly had held four-of-a* kind to start with, and had drawn bat one card, the odds were fort; to « against Iiis M having In !- a-kind or better. Suddenly, his face no longer ruddy, Jim Bailey pushed his whole pile forw ard. “I call, sir,” he said, He spread out his hand. “I’ve got a full-house— aces over queens.” Then occurred one of those dis­ turbing interruptions which explain the new screens a t the card room door. There w as a cry and a com­ m otion, and D iana, Adam Court­ ney’s daughter, appeared in the doorway, staring in a t the players. She w as dressed to go to the dance. H er hair w as arranged in the style of tw enty years ago. In a white satin dress which had be­ longed to her m other, she looked (as an elderly m em ber said) the spit­ ting im age of Adam Courtney’s dead wife. Old Adam Courtney glanced up, stared, as at a ghost. Heaven onlyknows what memory — perhaps of his and his wife’s glowing early hap­ piness — passed through his mind. He drew a deep, slow breath. His cane dropped and clattered. His white head disappeared beneath the table as he retrieved the cane from the floor. This distraction lasted but a mo­ ment. Then ’Adam Courtney sat up and faced Jim Bailey. Leaning awk­ wardly forward, his left hand heavy on the table, the old man turned his own cards up, one by one. THE KING OP DIAMONDS. “ One!” the crowd breathed. THE KING OF HEARTS. “Two!” the crowd whispered. THE KING OF CLUBS. “T hree!” the crowd m ur­ m ured. Then he turned — THE QUEEN OF DIAMONDS.It was his last card. Not only had he failed to catch the king of spades on the draw, ap­ parently he had drawn but one card, when he should have drawn two. He held only four cards, a worthless hand. The grim old m an had lost! Jim Bailey had won, not only the old m an’s three thousand, but his daughter. Jim Bailey gathered in all the money. He stood up, holding it in his hand. Everyone watched Adam Courtney's daughter as Jim Bailey' crossed to where she stood framed in the doorway. , She touched Jim ’s arm —and hesi­ tated. Of course she had been told w hat w as up. The m oney in Jim ’s hand told her the rest. She ran to her father. The grim old m an ig­ nored her. She put her arm around him and kissed him full on the yel­ low stain in his white m oustache. He still ignored her. She turned and ran back to Jim . , H and in hand, the1 two young peo­ ple left the club. Their m otor roared aw ay, seem ingly with a trium phant note th at spoke of m oney enough for a business, and for m arriage, and independence. Old Adam Courtney sat staring at his bony left hand flat on the table. For a m om ent his shoulders seem ed to sag. Then he straightened, and tilted a quizzical, twinkling look up at the circle of staring faces.“I knew what she was wishing,” he said. “I’m an old fool, I expect.’’ He lifted his left hand. There be­neath it, face up on the table, lay the missing king of spades S E W I N G C IR C L E P A T T E R N S S typeciaI a t Q if U Gift Aprons THESE gay, yet practical bib aprons are ideal for kitchen chores or hostessing.

She didn't w ant her m other to know anything w as am iss—not yet, anyway. And then suddenly the tears cam e, like angry flood w aters bursting through a barrier, unable to be restrained any longer.

Grown women never cried over theiT brothers! “It’s what Lance saw, not what he did,” Betty said in a burst of confidence. As her m other waited she continued wretchedly. "H e saw Woody buy­ ing a bottle of cologne. Cologne, m other, im agine! He was so glib when he told m e I looked cute in jeans and now he’s two-timing me with some fluffy fem ale who actually uses co'ogne! Oh. how can m en be so beastly?” “Darling, how do you know the cologne isn’t for you? Maybe Woody thinks you’ve outgrown your jeans.” “He knows what I think .of these pink and white girls who use that! horrible concoction! He wouldn’t! dare get m e any. And besides, I al-j ready told him I wanted roller skates] for Christm as. . . I have to be- ready for the new rink th at's open­ ing next month, don’t I? I thought Woody and I would be ifoing togeth­ er. but now that’s all over.” She threw her arm s around her mother and cried tragically, “Oh, mother, I'll never sm ile again! I definitely won’t." This tim e Mrs. M iller sm iled over her daughter’s head. She well rec­ ognized the stage Betty Jane was going through and decided she must take a hand. “You’re sure the co­ logne wouldn’t be for a sister or a cousin?” "H e hasn’t a fem ale in the family, and his m other never uses it, so who else could it possibly be for? I’ll bet it’s for Estelle Bryan. Al] the other fellows like her but Woody used to say she was too fragile. Oh, m other, how he’s deceived m e!” I-IE R m other arose. “Well, dry your eyes, Betty,, dear. It’s Christm as Eve and you want to be happy today Woody will probably come over with your roller skates to­ night and we’ll surprise him. If he likes fragile girls, he’ll get one.” Betty Jane sat up straight. “ Mother, no! Not that horrible blue dress you bought me! “ You wash up and put that dress on. Betty “'Ye'll wait for you dow nstairs.” With that, Mrs. Miller closed the door on her tomboy daughter and hurried downstairs. As she reached the bottom step the doorbell rang and she adm itted Woody Anderson, a lanky boy with unruly red hair and freckles m arching in perfect for­ mation over the bridge of his nose. He was clutching a box, obviously containing the roller skates request­ ed by Betty Jane. 'She'll be right down," Mrs. Mill­ er informed him. then left him alone for the surprise. It cam e a half-hour later when Betty Jane m ade her appearance. The blue dress looked even better than she had hoped it would. “ Gosh. Betty Jan e!” Woody con­ tributed to the conversation. The smile broadened. “For me, Woody?” she asked, nodding toward the box “Is it cologne? Lance saw you buying som e.” So casual, so indifferent “Uh--gosh, no, Betty Jane. Gee, you asked for skates and I got them for you. I bought cologne for Miss Lindsay, the English teacher that helped me with my essay for that contest.” “How sweet of you.” She stepped down into the living room and ac­ cepted the box from Woody. “Thank you,” she said gravely “Yours is under the tree." “Gee, I didn't think I'd ever like you dressed up as a girl.

They thought th at industrial strife would be over. High production, harm ony, and peaceful work—all would be rosy ahead. No longer would the coal m ines be operated for profit! That ghastly dragon, pri­ vate enterprise, hud gasped his last in a free election. From now on, the coal m ines would be operated for use—for the benefit of the public. A labor governm ent had taken posses­ sion of the m ines and would be in charge of operations. Since labor was the governm ent, said brain-trusters in the party, all would be harm ony. Of course there would be no m ore strikes in the coal m ining industry. Labor would have no cause to strike against a labor governm ent which w as operating the m ines solely for the w elfare of the nation. This kind of fanciful thinking was popularly done in Eng­ land when the British governm ent took possession of the coal m ines in January, 1946. Learned The Lesson The English people have had to learn an im portant lesson from their experim ents in socialism . This les­ son is: You can’t change economic fact and law by switching political power over to another group through elections or revolutions. W hat is the English experience? On Septem ber 3, 1947, the Asso­ ciated P ress reported from London that 50,000 m iners were on strike. This action closed 46 m ines in a spreading strike called “England’s worst labor disturbance in three years.” Coal had becom e so scarce because of the strike th at 2,400 in­ dustrial plants employing 100,000 m en w arned the governm ent they would be forced to shut down unless they could get coal. This present strike is m ost seri­ ous. England is in a crisis of Dun­ kirk proportions — certainly her worst since peace cam e. Yet, de­ spite the crisis, regardless of the lucor governm ent and the fact that it m anages the coal industry, the great, spreading strike occurred. A labor governm ent has not been able to keep workers from striking. B rit­ ain’s program of nationalization has not resulted in cooperation from labor. F ree Work Is Best For a long tim e the world has been plagued with ideas that there are substitutes for work. There will always be m en who can m ake such ideas sound pretty good. But the ideas are just as false as are the m en who want the political power required to put som e paper “plan” into effect. There is no substitute for the opportunity of honest work, under the kind of free economic system we have in Am erica. When some political system calls for all the economic power it can get, you m ay be sure that the common m an is gcing to lose out. One of the first powers sought is the power to con­ trol industry. In a country that speaks our lan­ guage and enjoys our sam e civiliza­ tion, a governm ent th at m anages in­ dustry has brought forth no solution for industrial strife. ,Government m anagem ent of industry has m ade conditions worse. It has brought loss of efficiency in England, to Ihe tune of 60 m illion less tons of coal a year. Do we want high wages (which com e only with efficiency and high production), and do we w ant indus­ trial peace and national prosperity? Then surely we want no part of gov­ ernm ent m anagem ent of Am erican industries. % W hat wiil your today’s -arvest lock like 10 years from today? Will it> be jest a m em ory 10 years old?

TreasuryDepartmiitl By Mrs. Wendell Willkie Two and a half years ago, when newsreels exposing the unbelievable horrors of Nazi concentration camps were shown in theatres throughout the United States, a single thought came into the minds of all of us— “This m ust never happen again!” We now have the opportunity to put this conviction into action by supporting the United Nations in its protests against such barbarism . The UN Secretariat has finished drafting the Convention for the Prevention and Punishm ent of Genocide, the de­ liberate wiping out of a race or group of hum an beings. Under the term s of the Convention being considered by the General Assembly at Lake Success, individual countries would be given the power to seize and punish any crim inals guilty Of genocide who are captured in their territory. An International Criminal Tribunal, sim ilar to the Nuremberg Tribunal, may also be set up to punish flagrant cases of the crime. There can be no question in our minds as to the vital need for this pact. The persecution of minorities is like an infectious disease; it is seldom confined to a single group of victims. In Germany, Hitler did not stop with the persecution of the Jews. One by one, Catholics, Protestants, trade unionists and all liberal Ger­ mans were suppressed by the Nazis. But here in America we have al­ ways felt the necessity for protecting the rights of minorities and for the strengthening of their basic human right's. Wendell WiIlkie I think very aptly expressed this thought when he said: “It has always impressed me that, quite apart from any reasons of hu- Mrs. W endell W illkie m anitarianism or justice or any sen­ tim ent regarding the protection of the weak by the strong, it is only common sense to safeguard jealously the rights of minorities. For minori­ ties are rich assets of a democracy, assets which no totalitarian govern­ m ent can afford. Dictatorships must, of necessity, fear and suppress them. But within the tolerance of a democ­ racy, minorities are the constant spring of new ideas, stim ulating new thought and action, the constant source of new vigor.” We cannot afford to let down now, even though the wartim e pictures have faded somewhat from memory Rather we must tell our represen­ tatives to give their immediate, full support to the passage and enforce­ m ent of the Convention to Outlaw Genocide, and must encourage others to do likewise. W hy W e Light O nr C hristm as T rees New Santa Claus— New Christmas tree lights The brilliantly lighted Christm as tree as we know it today originated late m the 16th Century. According to legend, M artin Luther became en­ tranced one night with a starry Christm as sky and returned home to set up for his children a tree illum inated w ith num erous candles to represent the star-brightened sky. <?>- The first w ritten reference to a Christm as tree is found in the works of an unknown w riter of the early 17th Century who said: “At Christ­ m as they set up fir-trees in the par­ lours of Strasbourg and hang thereon roses cut out of many-colored paper, apples, wafers, gold-foil, sweets, e tc ....” B ut the relationship of light w ith the observance of Christmas goes all the way back to thfe birth of C hrist when the brilliant Star of the East became the m ost universal symbol of the Nativity. Even as the early converts gath­ ered in the catacombs to observe Christm as during the dark days of the Church there were tiny oil burn­ ing lamps to brighten their somber surroundings. The interiors of the m edieval cathedrals and churches always were banked w ith rows of flickering candles during the Christ­ mas season, while later in English- speaking countries the dancing light of the Yule log burning in an open fireplace added cheer to the occasion. This flickering motion of light, so long identified w ith the grave observ­ ance of early Christmases, was lost completely around the turn of the 20th Century when the electric light replaced the unsafe, outmoded wax candle. B ut now the electric light it­ self has reverted to that dancing light.effect through its newest devel­ opment—the Bubble-Lite. For the first time it is now possible to obtain all the brilliancy and eye- arresting motion that was lost when use of the candle was discontinued in Christm as tree decorating. The Bubble-Lite consists of an “action” candle-shaped three-inch glass tube set in a two-toned translucent plastic base, which in turn houses a Iow- wattage’ bulb. This small bulb serves to light up the ornam ental plastic base, as well as to generate sufficient heat to whirl the gayly-colored fluid in the glass tube upw ard in a con­ tinually bubbling spiral, while send­ ing rays of light colorfully dancing through the upper glass "candle.” M anufactured by Noma Electric Cor­ poration, Bubble-Lites were avail­ able only in limited quantities last year, but m ore than 25,000,000 Noma Bubble-Lites are being produced for use this Christmas. \/IO S T of us have stored away in attic boxes and desk draw ers, Christm as 1 1 cards from last year and the year before that we just couldn’t bear to throw away. These cards can be transform ed into charm ing Christm as gifts with a little ingenuity and a minimum of tim e on your part. Lam pshades are always welcome—and here’s a novel idea for design­ ing a special gift for a special person.

Simple Instrcclions Bzsed on Seienee You may not have a degree as an engineer, Mrs. Housewife, but when you’re home canning you’re using scientific principles just as surely as a mining, chemical, electrical or other engineer. That is, if you fol­ low glass jar m anufacturer’s instruc­ tions, for they are based upon scien­ tific discoveries made over a period of a century and a half. Back in Napoleon’s time, a Paris confectioner, Nicolas Appert, set out to find a method of food preserva­ tion and win a 12,000-franc prize offered in 1795 by the French gov­ ernment. Napoleon, like Frederick the Great, believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 16 years’ work, but his methods and equipment have been greatly im­ proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, n o t knowing a tempera­ ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not until 1860 did Louis Pasteur estab­ lish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four­ teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore, invented the “retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason ja r with porcelain-lined zinc cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid which has sealing compound on the under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the lid with the linger. Sealing with the Dome lid is made doubly sure by the new type metal band which bears down on the lid a t three pressure points. Also reliable in seal is the light­ ning type jar with rubber ring, glass lid and wire bail. Many scientific experiments and jar improvements have perfected pro­ cesses for today’s home canning and it is upon them that instructiors you will find in reliable home canning lit­ erature such as the Ball Blue Book are based. Follow these instructions and you become an “Engineer in Good Eating”— much to the benefit of your family’s health and increased pleasure at the table provided by de­ licious home canned foods.

R4 “ Lives o f great men a ll rem ind M We can make our lives sublime; And departing leave Iiebind ns Footprints on the sands of time.” —Longfellow. God has made it possible for all men to build great and sublime lives, especially in America and the nations of the earth where we have the Bible, the Christian religion and the Church of Jesus Christ. We should not only be very desirous of building for our- si-lves a great life, but we should likewise be interested in helping oth' ers to build great. This brings to us the responsibility of helping send the Bible to all people and leading them, ■is much as possible, to Christ for sal­ vation. We can only build a great life by building upon a firm and sure foun­ dation, and this must be npon Bible iiiethods. Christ must be our Savior, our Sanctifier, our leader and guide along life’s pathway. He must be the Rock of Ages npon which we build. To leave Him out of our life, and to fail to build npon Him, is to build upon the sinking; sand. Men never build great and sublime lives apart from Christ, apart from God, apart' lYnin the Holy Ghost. In building great lives we must use the material that is sound, genuine, wholesome, enduring. This must be according to that which Crod furnishes us. This material is amply provided for every honest, earnest, sincere, prayerful soul. It comes through Ctod’s marvelous grace. There must be al­ ways Divine material out of which we build if our lives stand the tests of time and eternity. No man can build a great life out of evil, sin and wickedness. He may, in some instances, become popular with the world, and even win tempo­ rary fame; but this doesn’t make him ereat. No life is truly great that isn’t fashioned after God’s plan, nor built out of God’s material. Evil is only sinking sand, and when men bnild npon it they go down, oftentimes “nn- wept, unbonored and unsung.” If we build great we mnst build npon Divine love, godliness, purity, 'ioliness, faith, honesty, truthfulness, kindness, Iongsulfering, patience, 'rayerfnlness, and all that God pro­ vides through the means of grace. Tne ^reat old patriarchs and prophets, npostles and disciples, and godly men and women of all ages have built npon and out of snch material. It was for them: it is for ns. Only out of this could they build great; only out of this can we build great. They blessed ‘he world and we can bless the world. S h o u l H a v e B e e n S t o p p e d We quote from a news item ap­ pearing in a recent issue of the Ashe- boro Courier-Tribune: “John Laughlin, of near Randle- iiian. died in a local hospital early Vriday four hours after his car was wrecked on highway 220 near Level Cross. . . The accident occurred on a straight and level highway. The car ran off one side of the Toad, re- crossed it and ran down a bank. The car traveled 560 feet after leaving the fell way, hit a ditch and rolled end over end for about another 100 feet. m-ns completely demolished. . . . The Highway Patrol said Laughlin had been indicted four times for speeding and was also convicted of reckless driving in Greensboro last month. He likewise was nnder indict­ ment for hit-and-run driving as a re­ sult of crippling Mrs. Ealon Wright, of Randleman, a pedestrian, about a year ago.” .Seems to us that Mr. Laughlin was permitted to remain' on the public highways of North Carolina for too long1 a period of time. We don’t know all the details of our license-revoking laws, but after having been indicted four times for speeding, once for reckless driving and once on a charge of hit-and-run driving, it would ap­ pear that Mr. Laughlin should have been restrained from any farther ap­ pearance behind the steering wheel of an automobile. Had that been done in his ease, he probably would have been alive to­ day.—The State. "IF MT PEOPir WHkHAK CAUED BV MV NAME. SHAll HUMBLE THBBELVESk MD PRAY.

R a b b i t I o b a c c o The restrictions on the im porta­ tion of American tobacco have not cured B ritish smokers of the habit but they arc turning to substitutes. Like the small boy of a generation ago when smoking of anything wrapped in paper was considered reprehensible, the B ritish smokers have turned to herbs, though what herhs are being used was not made clear in the news dispatches. A new business has sprung up in England as a result. H erbal mix­ tures suitable for smoking have been put on the m arket, and the demand was so great that the concoction had to be Mtioned to customers, not be­ cause the supply was limited, but because of a shortage of labor to prepare the mixture. And, also like the small boy of a previous generation, the herb smok­ ers make themselves unpopular, be­ cause the aroma of the herbs is any­ thing but enticing. ■Those who are old enough to re­ member the herbs that small boys smoked behind the barn will recall that a man could smoke cigars or a pipe without laying himself open to suspicion of moral turpitude, but the' moment he smoked his tobacco rolled in paper, his neighbors, began looking at him askant and wonder­ ing if he were leading a double life. Mostly the cigarette smoker rolled his own. because m anufactured fags were still rare. The brown paper was not so disgraceful, but anybody who rolled his tobacco in white paper was definitely immoral, and, if he were seen furtively buying a box of Turk­ ish Trophies or Ramcses II, he was a marked man. The aura of wickcdness that sur­ rounded the cigarette gave it an ir­ resistible attraction to the early teen-agers, longing to be grown up but still tied to home and mother. They went through the fields, there­ fore, picking rabbit tobacco, which, in the seclnsion of the back lot, they rolled clumsily into shapeless bun­ dles that bore only the faintest re­ semblance to the neat cylinders on which the young blades prided them­ selves. The paper was anything from a square of newspaper to the tissue that came out of shoe boxes, and, be­ ing loosely rolled, it flared up in a flame that sometimes entered the nostrils of a young experim enter and sent him into a frenzied dance like a whirling dervish. But, once the flame died down, he endured, with much coughing and sputtering, the foul taste of the herb just for the man-of-the-world feeling that it gave him. 4 In seasons when rabbit tobacco or alfalfa leaves were not obtainable, a piece of an old buggy whip would do after the wrapping had been scraped off with a jackknife. B ut no amount of scraping conld eliminate the shel­ lac, which was more astringent to lips than green persimmons, or the acrid taste of the wood smoke that left him with a blistered tongue in­ capable of taste for days after­ wards. If, perchance, a paternal snooper came around the corner of the barn while the buggy-whip cigar was in full career, the young adventurer was very likely to feel the business end of the new whip, the sting of which was only slightly less acute than that of the smoke on his oral membranes. If British smokers are reduced to such straits as thes,e, the North Car­ olina tobacco farm er is probably saying that it serves them right, be­ cause any people who have had as much trouble as the B ritish should at least have the solace of the gol­ den weed.—Charlotte Observer.

OBXDEN Turkey raisers w ant to produce the larger holiday bird—the public wants the sm aller fowl. The cost for a large tom is too m uch for the average fam ily. To produce a sm all turkey the cost per pound of gain is far greater than in the case of the larger fowl. Desiring to create a year around consum er dem and for turkeys, the National Turkey federation and the Poultry and Egg National board de- Making turkey steaks with cube machine. cided to utilize the m achine which for years has been turning out the beef cubed steak. The m eat is rem oved from the turkey and sent through the m a­ chine and out comes a four or six ounce steak, ready for the stove and then the lunch box or the form al dinner. Consumption of turkeys has been less than five pounds per capita. With developm ent of the turkey steak, the turkey industry is en­ deavoring to attain a per capita out­ put 10 tim es higher. The cubed tur­ key steak can be quick frozen and packaged in the sam e m anner as m any other kinds of steaks. This new plan is expected to assure the turkey raiser that there will be no overproduction of turkeys. F a t t e n i n g C r a t e It m ay be advisable to confine poultry in sm all pens for m arket feeding. This fattening crate is eas­ ily m ade by the poultry raiser and also will m ake an ideal broody coop. Feeding and w atering troughs should be placed so th at the birds m ay secure food and w ater between the slats.

The first article deals with the potential effect of military training on our foreign policyf the next with the program itself.) WASHINGTON.—As the foreign ministers’ conference plodded along in London, American delegate Marshall probably frequently found himself reaching for one document to support his cause, that wasn’t there. If it had been he would have had concrete proof to place before the world that America is not engaging in the well- known game of bluff. That is why, shortly after the second session of the 80th congress opens in January, you will see and hear a lot m ore about universal m ilitary train­ ing than you ever did before. The President, as requested by the Am er­ ican Legion, is expected to proclaim a UMT week, (January 6 through 12), and although there will be no active propaganda on the part of the govern­ m ent departm ents because the adm inistration, especially the w ar depart­ m ent, is- going to lean over backw ards to avoid the charge of trying to in­ fluence congress, they will do w hatever they can within their prescribed hm its. ®---------— — — — — But there will be a concerted pro- UMT drive from m any private or- __ ganizations. The Am erican Legion is concentrating on that one issue and its com mand­ er, J a m e s F. O’Neil, has pub­ licly stated he is going to give his whole tim e to it. The VFW and other veterans’ organizations will fall in line. More im portant p e r ­ haps, will be the Baukhage active participa­ tion of the power­ ful national security com m ittee headed by form er Justice of the Su­ prem e Court Owen J. Roberts. This com m ittee, form ed about two months ago, is an offshot of an ear­ lier citizens’ com m ittee headed by Justice Roberts which unsuccess­ fully urged passage of a universal m ilitary training bill through the last session of congress. Like the earlier group, the purpose of this national security com m ittee, com­ posed of veterans’ groups like the Legion and VFW as well as the na­ tional cham ber of com m erce. Ro­ tary clubs and the League of Women Voters, is to coordinate efforts to get universal training enacted into law. , The interesting thing about the re­ newed drive for m ilitary training, as the m en who have negotiated Am erican foreign policy interpret it, is that UMT’s m ilitary function is secondary. Let m e explain it this way: Granted that tfie Kremlin pol­ icy is a long-range plan of active aggression whose most immedi­ ate goal is to get control over as many nations or as much dis­ puted territory as possible, and absorption of control over Ger­ many as its chief goal. Granted that communism in Europe at this writing is on the defensive and will be even more so if the European recovery plan succeeds. Meanwhile, the Russians will take every step short of war. Granted that Bnssla does not wish to fight a war a t present. Russia knows we know that. But Russia knows that we not only do not want w ar, she also knows WE COULD NOT FIGHT ONE, not only because we have only a handful of troops on the con­ tinent (a force greatly outnum­ bered by the Red arm y) but be­ cause we are woefully unpre­ pared. Therefore, the Russians knew they can go much further in their “cold war” than they oth­ erwise could. They can play their obstructionist game in the foreign m inisters’ conference and in the United Nations, carry on active propaganda against us along the periphery of their sat­ ellites and even ACTIVELT AID arm ed forces within non­ satellite border states as they are doing in Greece. The Russians feel they can take this course because they believe that the American peo­ ple themselves will not back any threat to their (Soviet) aggres­ sion, nor, they think, will Amer­ ica support any step to strength­ en the m ilitary machine of the United States. T hat is the reason the hand of our policy m akers would be greatly strengthened if universal m ilitary training were established here be­ cause it would show that America is really backing its diplom ats. Of course, the argument that a strong m ilitary organization prevents war because it reduces the chance of attack is an old one. But under the peculiar In­ ternational situation which ex­ ists today, it is probably more nearly true than ever before in history. Whether or not a bill authorizing tniversal m ilitary training is passed kt the coming session depends on w hether the people believe this — whether it changes the thinking of enough m em bers of congress so that a favorable m ajority can be ob­ tained. No one will m ake a guess now as to what the chances are, but the “situation” m entioned above al­ ready has effected some changes of viewpoints. The sources of support for UMT will draw heavily from adm inistra­ tion regulars unless popular opposi­ tion gives them the election year jitters. U M T G a th e r s S tr o n g S u p p o r t N aturally Chan Gurney of South Dakota, chairm an of the senate arm ed services com m ittee, and Chairm an W alter G. Andrews of New York of the house com m ittee of the sam e nam e, whose sub-commit­ tee under Representative H arry Towe of New Jersey produced the bill which is now pending before the house, are enthusiastic supporters of the m easure. And it is expected that friends of would-be presidential candidate Dewey will fall in line since universal m ilitary training is one of the m ajor issues which the New York governor has endorsed. If this assum ption is correct Sena­ tor Ives and Republican House Ma­ jority L eader Halleck could be in­ cluded. Senator Saltonstall of Mas­ sachusetts has expressed his ap­ proval. Candidate Stassen and his friends, though not at this writing com m itted, are em phatically friend­ ly.

There are m any other prom inent suporters. Senator Taft is definitely op­ posed to universal m ilitary training, which he groups with other “controls” which are ob­ jectionable to him. Opposition m ay be considered strong from the extrem e right and the extrem e left. It is hardly likely that R epresentative Vito M arcan- tonio, who has the support of Com­ m unists in New York, would vote for UMT. Outside of congress, the church organizations and a large arm y of m others are opposed. The only way their view can" be changed, UMT supporters say, is to convince them that our boys will be safer trained than untrained, that in every w ar we have had to have a trained citi­ zen arm y in the end. Twice while we waited to train it, thousands died, and some went into service without proper preparation. IN FL A T IO N W h a t 9S t o B e D o n e ? Adm inistration pressure to force the adoption of President T rum an’s proposed anti-inflation panacea in­ volving wage and price controls w as increasing steadily. L atest in a procession of cabinet m em bers testifying before congres- I sional com m ittees in favor of price controls was Clinton P . Anderson, ! secretary of agriculture. He bluntly warned the house banking and currency com m ittee th at unless rising m eat costs are halted price controls on that com­ modity would be necessary by early spring. Describing m eat and grain as foodstuffs in which early short­ ages can be foreseen, Anderson pointed out the likelihood that early 1948 would see fantastically high prices of m eat. There w as a profusion of thinking on the inflation problem which so far had done little except to pro­ m ote widespread disagreem ent and uncertainty am ong the people. The adm inistration, congress as a body and private citizens re­ m ained a t odds concerning what should be done. Robert S. Nathan, fo rm e r governm ent economist, called for an im m ediate 20 to 25 per cent rollback in prices and pre­ dicted a “bust” next year if the situation rem ains uncontrolled. Secretary of the T reasury John Snyder issued a direct challenge to congress to com e up with some workable idea of its own to com bat rising costs of living. E arl Bunting, president of the Na­ tional Association of M anufacturers, epitomized the attitude of private business and industry in general by calling for greater production per m an per day, reduced taxes and a curb on exports. W hat it am ounted to w as this: You either were in favor of price and w age controls or against them . You pay your money and you take your choice; but in any event, with inflation a predom inant condition of the economy, you pay your money. W A G E D R I V E : Third Round ' Since there apparently is no way of elim inating inflation in the fore­ seeable future, the CIO decided, the best thing Am erican labor can do is to string along with it. That was the philosophy behind CIO President Philip M urray’s an­ nouncem ent th at the labor organi­ zation would seek general wage in­ creases for its six million w orkers in basic industries. It presaged a new series of labor difficulties which probably will reach a crucial peak next M arch and April. More than that, it was the development m ost feared by econom ists frantically trying to com bat inflation—official launching of the third general round of wage dem ands since the war. M urray, seeking to justify the de­ cision, claim ed that since the w ar workers had suffered a net loss of 18 per cent in the purchasing power of their weekly earnings despite wage increases. He added, in a tone of disillusion­ m ent, that the CIO’s move for an­ other pay raise grew out of his arid other CIO leaders’ m oral certainty that congress would do nothing to halt inflation and its continuing and dangerous im pact on the Am erican worker. He hoped, he said, th at “it won’t be necessary to have strikes.” The decision was not entirely un­ expected. Secretary of Labor Lewis Schwellenbach had seen it in the cards earlier when he predicted such a developm ent a n d w arned that pres­ sure for general wage increases was m ounting with ris­ ing prices. Meanwhile, con- Schwellenbach gress, dissatisfied with President Tru­ m an’s 10-point anti-inflation pro­ gram , continued working on cost- of-living problem s with two cabinet officers under orders to draft spe­ cific bills to fight inflation. L E A G U E : For Politics E ver since the Taft-H artley act outlawed the spending of labor un­ ion funds for political purposes, the unions have been busy setting up special agencies through which they can apply political pressure in 1948. Most recent such political league has been organized by the Interna­ tional Association of M achinists (IAM ); it is' called the m achinists’ non-partisan political league, and will “aid working people exercise their right to vote m ore effectively,” according to H arvey W. Brown, IAM president. In 1948 it will “concentrate on re­ placing the pro-employer Taft-Hart- Iey congress with one composed of those who will consider the interests of all groups in our country rather than the narrow interests of a single group.” Other leagues of sim ilar political bent are the CIO political action com m ittee, the AFL labor’s educa­ tional and political, league, the rail­ road unions’ railw ay labor’s politi­ cal league and the comm unication w orkers’ group. W A R F A R E : Plastic Tanks Tanks, as we know them , m ay be for the m em ory only in a few m ore years if the prediction of M aj. Gen. Jam es M. Gavin is sound. In the event of another w ar tanks m ade largely of plastic and light enough to be flown from one front to another will play a decisive role, the m ilitary expert said in a copy­ righted article in the Armored Cavalry Journal. Gavin, who com manded the para­ chute assault troops in the Nor­ m andy invasion, said the heavy tank of World W ar II is so outdated it “ belongs in the Smithsonian in­ stitution.” "E ither we develop the m eans that will enable us to fly everything we need for com bat or another na­ tion will,” he asserted. “If another does—well, we’ve had it.” S t u r d y P l a y T o g s F o r W i n t e r W e a r T U R N FO R T H E B E T T E R T e a c h e r C r i s i s E a s e s i n U . S . “The present school year m arks the beginning of a turn for the bet­ ter in education in the United States.” That high note of optimism was sounded in a progress report issued by the citizens’ federal com m ittee on education through the U. S. office of education, which asserted that a five-year downward trend in educa- j tion has been reversed, j Titled “Citizens Look at Educa- i tion,” the report is the first pam- I phlet issued by the 27-member group I form ed in April, 1946, to carry the ; teacher crisis to the country. “There is abundant evidence that the ominous deterioration of our educational system has been arrest­ ed. The drift of teachers to other fields has been slowed. The public has become aroused to the dangers threatening our schools,” was the com m ittee’s conclusion. At the sam e tim e, however, the report warned that upward progress m ust continue, and that to consider the. educational crisis as a thing of the past would be prem ature. Among the accom plishm ents list­ ed for the past year were: I The largest teachers’ salary in- • creases which ever have been granted in a 12-month period — an average increase of about $300 or about 13 per cent. 2 An increase in m axim um sal- • ary scales in m any centers, re­ garded as highly significant in m ak­ ing the profession economically at­ tractive as a lifetim e career. 3 A num ber of states have Iib- • eralized retirem ent allowances and sick-leave provisions and re­ duced the teaching load. But the com m ittee did not m ini­ m ize the fact that there were prob­ lem s still to be solved. For one thing, the rise in cost of living has m ore than eaten up the,advance in teachers’ salaries, and workers in m any fields still earn m ore, on tha average, than teachers. Another obstacle to be overcome is the im m ense need for teachers, caused in part by the increased birth rate, which will exist for a t leaat 6 to 10 years. ... . 8 2 3 8 1 2-b y rl. j U E R E ’S a practical set of play 1 1 togs for w inter w ear — a pert suspender skirt for sis, and over­ alls and jacket th at are suitable for either a boy or girl.* * * P a tte rn No. 8238 is for sizes 2, 3. 4, I and 6 y ears.

Select th at one th at will appeal to your fam ily’s tastes as well as to the budget. A roast of beef dinner is in the English tradition, and some of you m ay like that best of all. TO others there’s nothing like plum p, tender, deep pink ham oozing juices through its crust of brown sugar and cloves; still others prefer a roast shoulder of pork, because roast suckling pig in form er tim es w as a Yuletide favorite. Then, of course, there’s roast tur­ key, without which some would not feel it is really Christm as. W hatever your choice, here are suggestions among which you’re certain to find some real help. CHRISTMAS DINNER I. Hot Spiced Cider Roast Turkey, Mushroom Stuffing Fluffy M ashed Potatoes G iblet Gravy Turnips in Thin Cream Red and Green Salad M incem eat T arts H ard Sauce Garnish How to do: Stuff the bird the day before and place im m ediately in re­ frigerator to chill. Cook giblets and chop and place in a bowl, ready when you m ake the gravy. For th e stuffing, m ake a regular bread dressing, and to it add from I to 2 pounds of fresh mushrooms, sliced and sauteed in bacon drip­ pings. The tarts m ay be m ade the day ahead also; sim ply line indi­ vidual pie tins w ith good pastry, place in prepared m incem eat and bake. F or the hard sauce garnish, use one recipe of hard sauce and spread flat on an oblong tin. Chill until firm and. then cut out Christ­ m as trees or stars with cookie cut­ ter. Place garnish on tarts just be­ fore serving. Spiced cider is m ade sim ply by heating the beverage, and ' adding to it a few slices of lem on or lemon rind curls and a sm all cheesecloth bag in which stick cinnamon and cloves have been placed. Serve in cups. L IN N SAYS: Here Are Hints for Christm as Dinners When you’re ..carving turkey at the table, it’s alw ays wise to have an extra dinner plate a t the side of the carver. He can use it for set­ ting bones and other pieces, or as a help in carving wings or thiglis. Roast pork will be m ore Christ- m asy if you bake it with an apple, prune or sage dressing. It’s a tim e- saver to m ake the day before and keep well chilled. lY N N ’S CHRISTMAS MENU *Hot Vegetable Juice Cheese-Sardine Appetizers v Rib Roast of Beef Glazed Onions Broccoli Browned Potatoes 5tCranberry-Star Pineapple Salad Jellied Plum Pudding Beverage Candies ‘Recipe given, / One sim ple type of red and green salad to use for the above dinner is to m ake cole stew from red cab­ bage.

THE _ SPEAKS _ Uniform T ffi M O T iI Sunday School lessons H t t 1........................ vBy IGUU D. HEWTIW. D D 22; Matthew 2.DEVOTIONAL, HEADING: P s a lm . 145:1- G o d 's E te r n a l R u le Lesson for December 28, 1947 D r. Newton T sHE last Sunday of another year brings us to a very fitting lesson, based on passages of •' Scripture found in Jude 24, 25, Revelation 16-22, and Matthew 2.” The devotional reading is Psalm 145:1-13. “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to ,.present you faultless-before the p re s e n c e of h is glory , w ith exceed­ ing joy, to the only wise God our Sayiour, be glory and ..m ajesty, do­ minion arid power, both now and ever. Amen,” Jude 24, 25. With this benediction, let us pause at the rapidly ebbing shoreline of the departing year, asking the meaning of God’s goodness, and m ercy as reflected in the Christm as season and through all the days of our earthly pilgrim age. As the Wise Men brought their gifts to the Divine Babe in Beth­ lehem , let us today wisely ap­ praise his gifts to us during the past year, and exam ine our hearts to see if we are duly grateful.* * * Rich G ifts for Jesus I? EAD again the second chapter of ' M atthew, particularly the sec­ tion which describes how the Wise Men brought their gifts — rare and precious gifts—to the Son of God. They w ere rich, gifts, m eaning that they were costly. We dare not bring anything to Jesus that does not represent a m easure of sacri­ fice. Contemplating the days ahead, what shall be the test of our gifts to Jesus? Shall we give him our left-over tim e? Shall we be satisfied to bring him a pittance of m aterial gifts? Or shall our gifts, like the gifts of the Wise Men, be the first fruits of all his increase? He asks for our love, our loyalty, our glad and sincere devotion.* • » Fhe L ong Look N J1OW we come to the heart of Sun- day’s lesson in Revelation 21:3: “He shall dwell with them , and they shall be his peoples.” God’s eter­ nal rule will be gladly acknowledged and received if all place their hands in his hand at the gate of another year. Nineteen forty-eight holds m any question m arks. People are afraid. They are confused. And here comes the m essage of Sunday’s lesson — “ He shall dweU with them , and they shall be his peo-,. j pies.” -I-J • The world is passing aw ay, the lust thereof, but they th a tp u t their trust in God shall abide forever and ever. God’s eternal rule has been vindicated in history. It will be vin­ dicated again and again in the com­ ing year w herever his people cast them selves in unw avering faith into his care and keeping. We shall do well to read again and again the chapters in Revela­ tion, 16-22, and see how all who walked with God were victorious, and how all who forgot him and for­ sook his ways, w ere destroyed. Do we not see the clear applica­ tion for our day and generation? The nations that forget God do die.* * * God’s E ternal Rule T ET us turn now to the verse in Psalm 145, which reads: “Thy Kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth through­ out all generations.” , Every thoughtful person is today wistfully searching for certitude — for the assurance th at behind these dark clouds that low er over our frightened ■ world the sun still shines. B etter, th at the sun shall break through these clouds. O ar le9son gives that very as­ surance. This is our F ather’s world. He lives! He reigns! And he waits to reveal him self to us in wisdom and power. He will not force him self upon us. We m ust open the door to him . He stands and knocks. Is th at not enough to bring us to our knees in the fervent prayer, “Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is done in heaven.” . Beginning in the hom e, and spreading into every area of life, m ay the truth of Sunday’s lesson become the watchword of Am erica and of all lands as we enter upon the New Y6ar. Thus panoplied, we Shall be strong and prepared to m eet and m aster every problem a t hand and ahead. "Our God . our help in ages past. Out hope for years to come.

Alas! it can’t be. Sa* got caught in that famous post-war bottleneck.* We share your disappointment, because we can hardly wait to give our trains that “new look” with all those ultra-modern, lightweight coaches, all-room sleeping cars, diners, and observation, lounge and club cars. Month after month we’ve impatiently awaited their delivery. But surely, they’ll be in service long before next Christmas! In the meantime, we’ve been improving our schedules and connections, modernizing our present passenger cars, and adding Diesel power galore . . . doing everything possible to add to your safety, comfort and convenience when you travel on the Southern. And as quickly as possible we’ll fill the South’s stock­ ing . . . to the top .. . with those new passenger cars we ordered so long ago. So won’t you please be patient?

C. ^ F IC T IO N C O R N m NO OTHER WAY By WILUAM COLE Week's Fiction TUDY kept h er eyes on the Jersey shore fine all the while she w as talking. “I . . . I don’t know w hat to do,” she said.: “H e asked m e, if I could, to let him know tonight.” She had tried to tell Ted about U oyd R ichards earlier th at evening —first, w hen they m et, and then when they w ere having dinner in the cafe­ teria—but each tim e she had m ade the m istake of looking a t him . And then they w ere in the na- row park by the river, and she couldn’t put it off any m ore. “He . . ; he says we could be m arried tom orrow ,” she went on. “H e’s staying in town another day.” And there it was! She sat back and pressed her hands in her lap. She didn’t w ant Ted to see how they were trem bling. But Ted w asn’t watching. His arm s w ere hooked over the back of the bench and he w as staring out on the Hudson. His short-cut hair and dark, brooding face stood out sharp- ly against the cluster of lights from the Palisades. She reached out to touch him —to clear that face, even for a m om ent—then she fought back the im pulse. . . . "Oh, I’m going to kill him !” she thought wildly. “If ' he just sits there and takes it like th at!” "I think you should do it,” Ted said. Judy w ent limp. She dug her nails into her flesh and felt nothing. “I . . . I prom ised I ’d call him ,” she said weakly. ‘‘He’ll be waiting.” Im agine? M aking a crack like that! She’d fix him good! “Why shouldn’t you?” Ted said again. “This R ichards can give you the things you should have.” He straightened his leg and his heel tore a rut in the dirt path. “W hat can I give you?” . Nothing, Ted. Nothing at all, you big lug. Only everything a girl. . . “W hat could I give you?” Ted went on. “You’d have som e life with m e. D inners in cafeterias. Evenings in parks. On our honeymoon, for variety we’d go to a m useum . You’d have som e sw eet life!” It sounded sw eet enough to Judy, but she didn’t say as much. This was the beginning of a fam ilar routine. There w as nothing that could be done until it ran itself out. “A law yer!” Ted said. He ad­ dressed the single sta r that hung dim ly above. “Twenty-five thousand lawyers in New York weren’t enough. I had to starve, too.” I t didn’t do any good to tell him t y things were bad all over, that they would pick up; that, after all, he w as only out of law school a short tim e. It didn’t do any good, when he w as like this, to tell him anything. He glared at the people sitting on the benches around them as though they w ere directly re­ sponsible. “L et m e fell you," he said, “you’ve got' to be-som ebody to starve to death in this town. Do you think they’ll let anyone starve? No! You’ve got to have background. You’ve got'to have .a college diplom a and a law certificate and an office to hang them up In, and then, okay, you ’can go ahead and starve." The wom an on the next bench w as eyeing Ted nervously. Judy stood up. “Let’s walk a bit,” she suggested. She slipped an arm through his and walked lightly beside him , a slim girl in a sim ple dark dress. H er brown eyes w ere troubled, as Ted hurried her along. H e couldn’t stay depressed long—not when she w as with him . When they w ere to- closed it quickly. W hen he let go ol her she hung on to his lapels. Ted spoke through her hair. “ You were saying som ething about some guy nam ed Lloyd?” TUDY w aited until she could feel “ solid ground again beneath her. “Don’t jo k e , about it, Ted, please. The m an w ants to m arry m e.” “H e does?”- Ted shook his head in wonder. “You don’t say so?” , This w as m ore like it. This was Ted. Judy sighed. If she could only keep him like th a t “I don’t suppose I w ant to m arry you?” Ted said. “I suppose m y in­ tentions aren’t honorable?”- He w as still sm iling, but it w as very m uch on the surface. “I sup­ pose, if there w eren’t a darn good reason, we wouldn’t have m arried long ago?” Two years, to be exact. Two years that could have been am ong the hap­ piest in their lives. “Tell m e,” Judy said. She tried to keep her tone light. “Ju st for the record. W hat w as th at wonderful reason again?” Ted turned away, wearily. “L et’s skip th at for once,” he said. She was as tired of the subject as « I f She slipped an arm through his and w alked lightly beside him , a slim girl in a sim ple dark dress. gether, he w as soon the real Ted. And th at couldn’t help but m ake a success. T hat w as why it w as im ­ portant that they. . . . Ted freed his arm and tried to drop it around her. Judy stepped aside. Ted looked surprised and drew her into the shadow of a tree. “Hiya, Judy!” He w as sm iling at •her now. “ . . . it’s getting late,” she said. “I have to call Lloyd.” “ Lloyd? Who’s Lloyd?” Shev looked a t him furiously. 'rWfve only been talking about him for the la s t. . . ! ” “ Gosh, honey.!” T ed ran his hands back over her hair. “You’re so swell.” “ Ted, now p i .. . ! ” Judy w renched her mouth to one side and then C R O S S W O R D P U Z Z L E In Horizontal I To cease 5 Flying mammal S Migration 12 No score, tennis 13 Chalice 14 This place 15 Solar disk 16 End ; 18 Gull-like bird 19 Spanish article 20 Constrain 21 Feline- 23 Archaic: antiquity 25 Gone by 27 Heraldic: grafted 29 Kiln 33 Third sign of the zodiac 35 YeUowish 37 Sweetsop 38 Latvian 40 Instrumental duet 41 Local: to bewitch 42 Before 44 TiUed land 48 Symbol for calcium 50 Annoys 53 Catastrophe 55 So be it 56 Entry 57 Poetic: to unclose 58 Narrow ribbon 59 Receptions 60 Greek Tetter 61 Poker stake Vertical ILath 2 Colloquial: to carry 3 To conquer 4 Normal con­ tour feather 5 Foundation Solatlon In N ext Iasao.

They had been over and over it countless tim es without get­ ting any place. . . . Yes, Ted said, he knew all about it. Two could live as cheaply as one, sure. And Judy could keep her job. Sure. Okay, he said, he didn’t think she could support him in the m anner in which he had becom e accustom ed. And so, until the tim e he could handle th at end of it decently him self. . . Judy knew it w as useless, but still she persisted. She had used the sam e p hrases so often, she knew them by heart.. . . “ Don’t you see, darling, we’d at least have each other. . . . Those other things aren't important. . . . We’d at least... “Let’s not discuss it,” Ted said. “We’ll just have to wait.” “W hy should w e w ait?” She clenched her hands angrily. “We don’t know how long it’ll be. I w ant to settle it—right now! He turned back to her slowly; “I see. Before you speak to your friend, M r. R ichards?” She had forgotten about that, but now she m et his gaze fully. “Yes, before I speak to him .” “It’s alw ays good to have a guy in reserve, isn’t it?” Ted said. She gulped in som e air. AU right, m y boy! 0 . K.! She w aved a t Him airily. “So nice to have known you,” she said, and w alked away. “W hat w as so nice about it?” Ted called after her. Oh, it w as pretty nice, Theodore, don’t kid yourself. B ut Judy didn’t glance back. She crossed the drive and went on down the street. Back in the park there, she knew, he was miserable. And that made h er m iserable, too. B ut they couldn’t go on like that indefinitely. There was no other way. Besides, it wouldn’t last long. She knew his moods perfectly. Let’s see now. She looked at her watch. Two minutes for despair, then the next two for thought . . . and then, in about two or three more.. .. She slowed down. She w asn’t so sure now. They’d fought before and som etim es hadn’t m ade up for days. But then he didn’t have m uch to worry about. He could just let it slide. H e could'let everything slide. This tim e. . . . She w as near panic when she reached the corner—and then she heard heavy footsteps behind her. She caught a glim pse of Ted as she rounded the building. And his wild, frightened face w as enough. The only th in g . th at troubled her now w as w here they would live—uptown or out in the suburbs. As for her conscience, th at didn’t trouble her a t all. Consciences, som etim es, w ere pretty m uch of a bore. And as for Lloyd Richards— well, she wouldn’t even have to call him . U oyd knew her answ er. She h ad given it to him th at afternoon. 90)100 Ynncstm Select Ideal Father and Mother NEW YORK. — The ideal father has the daring of Roy Rogers, the generosity of Santa Claus and the protectiveness of singer Jack Sm ith, according to 50,000 children.

He just shook his head. "No m ail at a’l?" she said as she went on fixing dinner. “Oh, there were a couple of ads and a bill from the seed com pany." He hung his hat on a honk and crossed to the pump. Kis white hair was dam p around his face when he straightened up again. “ It's just not like Bill," she sighed. "B ill’s got an unforgivin’ streak, always did have, even when he was a little feller.” P a's old briar gave off a pungent odor as he lit it. "B ut this is different, Tom,” she said, putting a pan of biscuits in the oven, “tomorrow is Christm as. It’s a long way to the coast. Maybe he WTOte but didn't m ail it in tim e.” “M a,” his tired old voice was Rlledi with bitterness, "there’s no “ She could see Pa striding Into the living room.” need to stick pins to yourself by hopin'. Christm as or no Christm as . . . that boy is still m ad.” The old lady’s eyes shone with faith. “He m ight stay mad all year long but when Christm as comes , . . he’ll write. I know. I'm his M a.” “ Don’t forget,” Tom said as he blew smoke at the ceiling. His eyes crinkled at the com ers, ‘T m his father.” "Dinner’s ready, P a,” she said, filled with a deep longing and fought to keep the tears out of her voice. “I c’n understand that boy still bein’ m ad at me, but why does he have to take it out on you?” "Y ou're wrong, Tom,” Ma replied a ' she lifted her head and smiled. "The day after Christm as, first de­ livery, we’ll get a letter. You’ll see.” "Not from him ,” he shook his head grimly. "You’re forgettin’ Judy,” she re­ minded him as they sat down. “She’s a good daughter-in-law.” “Oh, I’m not blam in’ ner,” reply­ ing as he covered his biscuits with gravy, "Judy’s a fine girl. It’s his bull headed pride.” She got up and taking the coffee pot off the cook stove filled his cup. They ate on in silence. Finally he pushed his plate back. "You aren’t eatin’ much,” he scolded. "I’m just not hungry, P a.” "I see,” he stood up. “I’m goin’ out and turn the healer on in the hen house. It’ll be cold tonight.” His old shoulders slumped forward as he went outside. She shook her head and started picking up the dishes. Her mind sank back into the past. To the days when Christ­ m as was alive with the excitem ent and laughter of young voices. She could see Pa striding into the liv­ ing room bearing a large evergreen on his shoulder. Behind him there was always a highly excited little boy, bearing an axe. She wondered if the little boy ever thought of it. DA CAME back on the porch. She smiled as he kicked his toe against the threshold. It’s a wonder, she thought, that there’s any threshold left after all these years. He cam e into the kitchen, dumping an arm load of kindling in the box behind the range. "Snowin’, P a?” He shook his head and took off his wraps, replying, “Stopped.” She hung the dish towels up to dry. He pulled a rocker in from the living room and sat down. “ Everything all right in the barn?” Ma asked as she threw a few lum ps of coal in the fire. “Sure.” Pa said. A sad sm ile crossed his lips, “W hat’s the use pretendin’. Ma? We’re both feelin’ blue.” She sat down at the old kitchen ta­ ble and started peeling apples, ut­ tered. “ I know it.” “Gonna bake m e a pie?” he asked. She nodded. “Apple was always Billy’s favorite, too.” “Now, Ma, w hat’s the use o. . ,” - he stopped as they heard a car drive up in the yard. "M ust be Jim Roger.' Said today that new call of his Mas sick.” He opened the kitr' I door and peered out into the nighi She could hear him catch his breath as he watched a m an and a woma. get out. “ Ma, who do you think?” his voice was low. “ I knew," Ma laughed as she laid the paring knife down with a hap­ py sm ile, “I knew it all the tune.” D A V I E B R I C K C O M P A N Y DEALERS IN G O O D C O A L Day Pbone 194 - Night Fhone HS Mocksville, N.

Simple Instructions B;ssJ on Science You inay not have a degree as an engineer, Mrs. Housewife, but when you’re home canning you’re using scientific principles just as surely as a mining, chemical, electrical or other engineer. That is, if you fol­ low glass jar m anufacturer’s instruc­ tions, for they are based upon scien­ tific discoveries made over a period of a century and a half. Back in Napoleon’* time, a Paris confectioner, NicoUs Appert1 set out to find a method of food preserva­ tion and win a 12,000-franc prize offered in 1795 by the French gov­ ernment. Napoleon, like Frederick the Great, believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 16 years’ work, but his methods and equipment have been greatly im­ proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera­ ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not until 1860 did Louis Pasteur estab­ lish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four­ teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore, invented the "retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason ja r with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined xine cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid which has sealing compound on the under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the lid with the finger. Sealing with the Dome lid is made doubly sure by the new type metal band which bears down on the lid at three pressure points. Also reliable in seal is the light- | ning type jar with robber ring, glass lid and wire bail. Many scientific experiments and jar improvements have perfected pro­ cesses for today’s home canning and it is upon them that instruction you will find in reliable home canning lit­ erature such as the Ball Blue Book are based. Follow these instructions and you become an “Engineer in Good Eating”— much to the benefit of your family’s health and increased pleasure at the table provided by de­ licious home canned foods. :*♦***9* * \* i»9« **Iy *♦ ♦* «¥***tb# « L E T U S D O YOUR JOB PRINTING W e c a n s a v e y o u m o n e y o n y o u r E N V E L O P E S , L E T T E R H E A D S , S T A T E M E N T S , P O S T E R S , B I L L H E A D S , P A C K E T H E A D S , E t c .
