Fervent Charity Rev. VI. E. Iaenboor. Hitfh Phiot. N. C. K4 One of the greatest problems of the Christian life is to keep all bit terness prejudice, envy, malice and hatred ont of the heart, and to love God supremely Peter said. “ And above ali things have tcvent charity among yourselves; for charitv shall covea the mvlti tude of sins.” (I Peter 4:8). Fervent charitv, or fervent love in our hearts, certainly places us on a higher spiritual elevation. It means that all sin is purged from our souls as the children of God, and that we love our fetlowtnen in spite of their sins. Not that we uphold them in sin and wicked, ness, hut that we so love them that we desire sincerrly to win them to Christ and do them good, and not evil. Oniy the wonderful love of God in our hearts, or fer vent charity, which means love at work, can enable us to love hu inanity as we should, and as God requires of us. However, this is possible. Praise God forever. The word “ fervont” means, ac- corrding to Webster, “ Hot. glow ing, warm in feeting.” When we really and truly love God as we shonld, and all mankind, this no- only gives ns success to Hts throne of grace, but it enables to over- look the fauit of men. We do let their faults and even their sins, es- clipse the'love we have for them Somehow we cannot see half as many faults in folks when we love them as we didn’t love them “Charity shall cover the muiti tude of sins “ Glory to God. It is indeed great to love one another. This is God’s will, and never Hi will for us to bate men Jesus didn't even hate His bitterest ene mies wbo put Him to death. Hs wouio have ns do likewise. If all professed Christians to day had fervent love for each other, and love for lost souls, this would oe an entirely different world in w'..ich to live. So many bold in heaVts enmity, malioe, prejudice and hatred one toward another. Tney look for the faults aud sins o‘ their fellowmen, and eniorge upon them, rather than look fot ail men if they will but consecrate their lives fuby and cotnpleteh unto Him We feel so much bet. ter when we love men sincerely than we don't. This makes us happv along life's pathway. Praise the Lo d Gets Sympathy Spokane, Wash —You can un derstand how Howard T. Tustin felt when, taking pen in hand, lie told off the Spokane Police Depart, meat: “Today upon mv birthday an. niversay. your hoporable depart ment presented me with birthday greetings in the form of an over time parking ticket.” What realtv hnrned up Tustio was that bis.wife got the summons white she was shopping for a pre. sent tor him, And Tnstin asked the cops with a touch of irony. “ Do birthdays bold any scuti. ment for your department?

Oar Heating Problem Two of the most utterly helple-s Ieellngs that ever confront us hu. mans are those we experience when a car skids on slick road the wheels just sliding right out of coutrol, and those we experience when tbe oil stove givas a bit of flicker, a kind of sigh and goes right out. Jiggle the knob that sets it up and down all you tnav open the door and peer in hopefully, as prayerfully as’yon will and it does no good When an oil stove goes out for lack of fuel its gone ont to stay and worse than that, phone the oil men, talk to the delivery folks all you will you’ll have no better luck than yon bad jiggling about with he stove. Because when the oil goes ont these days in the tanks at home its herause its gone out eaTlter iu the lanks of the dealers The dealers have done all they could 1 nd they've been truly loyal to their patrons.

Food Prices Io Continue High Raleigh.—It’s a good bet that food pi ices will continue at high levels. That’s the word from the North' Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture. W Kerr Scott. Mr. Scott spoke at tbe annual convention oi the North Caroi na Restuatant Association in Raleigh The Agriculture Commissioner said he believed prices of meat, poultry and dairy proJttcts wiil go even higher unless Congress cuts exports of grain and other food Stuffs. Mr. Scott explained that some economists and agricultural leader have suggested that nations being helped bv tbe United Slates should be lent doilaTs-. The dollars may help those foreign countries buy more meats, feeds and giains from South America and other coun tries besides the United States. In this wav food co»ts to the Ameri can consumer may be kept from rising, Mr. Scott explained. Now is the time to sub scribe for The Record/ Notice to Creditors Having qualified as.

Boom-Time Prices Il the prices ot various and mis cellaneous items on faira r..achin ery, equipment, and trinkets a round the home bring such pric-s at auction sales this vear as taey did in 1947. th n it will pav all h. dealers in such merchandise to hold a few auctions themselves. For throughout Yadkin County Iast y-ar, the results showed that the way to g t anyw ere in the business wori I was to hold an auction and round up everything on the premises and put them on the block. No matter what the article was it always got a higher bid and brought In more money than the same article would straight off the retail market. Mavbe it was beca ,se people just thought they couldn’t pur chase certain articles from retali merchants. Maybe thev just link ed to bid on articles and sort of forgot themselves in the heat of the sale Whatever the reason, all the auction sales In the county last year brought some extrao-dinary prices For instance, at one sale of farm machinery a few miles south of Yadkinville1 the auctioneer started the bids rolling on a secondhand hay rake, and when he “knocked it off” on a bidder it went >or Si30 - 00. The same article, purchased brand new, could have been se cured for only ^6500. At the same sale a second-hand sausage mill was sold for $11 so, while a new one cou'd be bought for $5 00.

Net Profit (Danville Register) We see where a lad of 23, ac- cussed of marrying eight women in five years, had 19 cents to his name when the policy finally caught up with him. W ith this year’s prices and any year’s wives what they are, any man who has even 19 cents after eight wives have gone through his pockets is up more bigamist. He’s a financial genius.

HACKETT found her in the bedroom crying. She stood in the doorway and said grimly: “I came in to borrow some sugar, Sylvie. The door was open so I just walked in. Now what on earth’s wrong with you?” Sylvia sat up and dried her eyes. Her starched gingham skirt was wrinkled and her black hair was tangled and disordered. A curling strand of it hung down beside her nose like an ink stain. A pin had come out of her imitation lace collar and it had fallen down to catch in the red buckle at her waist. She said shakily, “Hello, Mrs. Hackett. N-othing.” Mrs. Hackett drew down the cor ners of her mouth. “Nothing, my foot. It’s because of Chip wanting to pull up stakes and go to Canton. Isn’t it? Of course it is.” Sylvia slapped the lock of hair out of her eyes. “I won’t be a boomer’s wife!” she flared. “I won’t!” “Mm,” Mrs. Hackett said sourly. “ ‘A boy’s will is the wind’s will.’ That’s a poem. It's the truest thing in the world. Don’t do no good to fight against it. Remember that and you'll have it easier.” “I won’t be a boomer’s—b-boom- er’s wife! I won’t drag around to one mill after another all my life, and never have anything, no home, and no—no nothing! I won’t!” "Well, it’s his job, if he wants to throw it away.” “It isn’t! It’s just as much mine as it is his! I don’t believe in that old idea that a woman’s just a—a slave, to follow a man around at whatever he happens to want to do!” “Oh, you don’t,” Mrs. Hackett 6aid. “And just what can you do about it?” Sylvia bowed her head and scrubbed unhappily at her cheeks with her handkerchief. “I don’t know,” she sobbed. “Of course you don’t. You’re noth ing but a child.” Mrs. Hackett sniffed. “You’d be twenty years finding out what to do and by that time it’s too late to do you any good. Unless there’s somebody around to tell you to begin with. Somebody who knows.” Sylvia was not impressed. “What could you tell me, Mrs. Hackett? What could anyone do? I’ve argued with him until I’m almost crazy but he—he doesn’t even listen any more. He’s got his mind set on moving on, to something different that won’t be any different at all, and then he’ll want to go again, and—” ‘“A boy’s will is the wind’s will,’ ” said Mrs. Hackett. “That’s what the poem says. It’s just as true of a man or an old man, for that matter. The older they get the truer it gets, I reckon. Only they kind of give up trying to do any thing about it after so long a time.” She pushed up her lower lip and looked down her nose at Sylvia. “Like Mt. Hackett.” Sylvia looked up, startled. “You mean Mr. Hackett used to —want to—” “He was the hardest man to hold down in this town. He got tired of everything, that was his trouble. It’s a sort of laziness, that’s ail it is. But he stuck here. He stuck, all right.” “Why?” Sylvia wailed. “What did you do?” “Well,” Mrs. Hackett said, “you can take it for what it’s worth, Sylvia. It worked with Mr. Hackett, I know that.” “But what was it?” “Whenever he worked himself up to a pitch about cutting loose and chasing away some place after something he thought was better, I simply gave him his way.” Sylvia looked disappointed and puzzled. “Oh.” “But,” Mrs. Hackett said pro foundly, “he didn’t know it. I took him on a trip. Just a week or so. And I kept him on the jump every minute of it. I always liked little trips around, anyway. Well, by the time that man would get home again -he’d be so tired of jumping They were gone six days. Each day Sylvia had them tip and dnvmg at daylight and she kept on the job, circuiting the sights at the next stop until late at night. She called upon Chip to stop often at roadside stands where she purchased carved orna ments and bumpy pottery. She plied him with hot dogs, soft drinks and bad coffee. She was sur prised and delighted at the glazed look that appeared in his eyes on the third day. Mrs. Hackett came over the day after they returned. She said, “Well!” and paused expectantly, holding the cup of sugar in both hands. “He went back to work today,” Sylvia said. There was a listless note in her voice. “He hasn’t said anything about going to Canton for days.” “Mm! And what did he say when he got home?” She pursed her lips. “That he never thought it would look so good to him?” Sylvia nodded. She sat down on a kitchen chair and swung one foot and watched it pensively. “Just ex actly,” she said. “You won’t even be able to get him to stir out of the house to a pic- Vt ft They went up into Michigan, west to Wisconsin, down through Minnesota and Iowa and St. Louis to Memphis. around that he wouldn’t have left for a pension. That,” Mrs. Hackett said, “is something you find out about men, Sylvia. They like to start but they like getting back a whole lot more.” Sylvia said doubtfully, "It doesn’t sound like Chip would—” “Maybe he wouldn’t. I’m the last person in the world to try to give folks advice, Sylvia. Nobody wants it and I guess everyone has to sew his own seam anyway. But Mr. Hackett says they’re shutting down for a week for the millwright’s gang, and if Chip was to spend that week in a car bouncing along from one place to another, without even a chance to catch his breath . . . Well, ’a boy’s will is the wind’s will,’ and the wind can change in a minute.” “But what if he wouldn’t want to go?” “Mm. You tell him you want a little vacation before you move to Canton. If he thinks you’ve given in about that he’ll take you. You try it and see.” They went up into Michigan, west to Wisconsin, down through Minne sota and Iowa and St. Louis to Mem phis, east to Knoxville and up through Louisville to come home.

They’re all alike.” She put the cup of sugar on the kitchen cabinet and looked- at Sylvia and frowned. “But I wouldn’t say you look so happy about it, Sylvie. But you’re tired.” Sylvia stopped swinging her foot and rested her chin on her hands. She sighed and said, “Only of this town, I guess. I was just thinking, when we came back yesterday, and it-looked so . . . so old and so shabby and dull and tiresome . . . and I thought that we’ll spend all our lives here.” Mrs. Hackett drew back and re garded her and then said again de fensively, “You’re just tired, Sylvie.” Sylvia looked up and her eyes were sparkling. “But I’m not,” she said. “I had a wonderful time.” M i WAS THIS THE MOST CHARMING WOMAN? You can pick up almost any wom an’s magazine and read an article about the most charming woman that ever lived. One writer will se lect a movie actress like Ingrid Bergman. Another writer will point to the fact that the Duchess of Wind sor is the most charming, magnetic woman. Imaginative writers go all the way back to Cleopatra in mak ing their nominations. It seems to me, however, that, everything considered, the most charming woman who ever lived was not a movie actress, an Egyp tian queen, or the heroine of a popu lar novel. She was instead a mild, middle-aged woman who lived in Paris around the middle of the Nineteenth century. Her name was Madame Re- camier, and although she left be hind nothing but an exquisite legend “as of a rose that had bloomed for a while in a garden and vanished,” men and women stiff praise her. The secret of Madame Reca- mier’s charm was that she put her self' always in the other person’s place. “She was an enchanting lis tener,” one ’of her admirers said. She was. She rarely spoke herself. But she did something far more im portant—she contrived to make you say bright and witty things. She had tremendous tact. When you called at her home, she smiled graciously, made you feel more wel come than you’d ever felt anywhere before. She wasn’t flowery or ex travagant about it. It was the way she said what she said rather than the words she used. One of her friends, the great French author Sainte-Beuve, wrote on the day after her death, “She would have liked to stop everything at April —her heart remained at early Spring.” What did she offer these persons that they loved her so? Not wealth. Hers was lost. Not position. She lived in a four-room flat. Then what? The sheer charm and power of a perfect personality. Jeanne Francoise Recamier was her full name. She lived in Paris from 1777 to 1849. To this day when writers want to set up a standard of charm and personality, they choose her as their model. M S international Uniiorm Sunday School Lessons By LOUIE D. NEWTON, 0. D SCRIPTURE: John 6:35-40: 13:3-17; Co lossians 1:9-20.s DEVOTIONAL READING: PhUippiaru The Nature of Jesus Lesson for February 8, 1948 f"\N E of the most discerning com. ments dn the nature of Jesua I have ever heard came from an aged Indian in one of the western states a few years ago when I chanced to be waiting for a friend at the en trance of the res- ervation. This old gentleman was sit ting on a large rock. I tried to speak with him, but he did not seem to understand what I said. Then my friend drove up, and introduced me This man knows our Dr. Newton to the Indian. Jesus,” my friend said to the In dian. His face brightened, and he held out his hand to me. “Jesus help Indian love white man,” he said. Just so, Jesus helps white man love white man, too. ; The lesson for Sunday is found in John 6:35-40; 13:3-17; and Colossians 1:9-20, with PhiIippians 2:5-11 as the devotional reading. TEACHER AND LORD hTAKE the opening passage, John 13:3-17, where Jesus is pictured as taking a basin of water and tow el, kneeling at the disciples’ feet, washing their feet, and drying them. Do you not feel the blessed Sav iour’s very nature flooding the scene? It requires true love, true hu mility, to serve, in that role. Sup pose someone came to render this service to you? And suppose that One was the Son of God? Why did Jesus wash the disciples’ feet? Because he loved them, and he wanted them to love other people enough to do for them anything that would convince them of the love which they had in their hearts for them. Here we see hihi as the great teacher. ‘AS I HAVE LOVED YOU” DUT Peter draws back. He cannot u conceive of Jesus washing his feet. Why? Because Peter did not yet understand the nature of Jesus. The memory verse for Sunday is helpful just here. Jesus said, “Love one aR- Hther; even as I have loved you,” John 13:34. Peter acted very naturally, even ff we may be tempted to say that he acted foolishly. In fact, he acted just about like any of us would have acted under similar circumstances. But when Jesus explained to Peter what he was about, Peter then asked that Jesus wash not only his feet, but also his hands and head. THIS IS JESUS INTERMEDIATES, young people *■ and adults, having carefully read the passage in the 13th chapter of John, where Jesus washes the dis ciples’ feet, will now turn to John 3:35-40, and Colossians 1:9-20, and see the expansion of this great truth >ver into the expressed will of God !or his followers. A true understanding of this sec tion will lead us to ponder prayer fully the nature of Jesus in the various titles accorded him in the Scriptures — Son of Man, Son of God, Master, Rabbi, Teacher, Physician, Vine, Light, Good Shep herd, Bread - of Life, Comforter, Friend and Saviour. AU of these titles he bore, and yet we see him kneeling to wash the feet of everyday people. “Thy gentleness hath made me great.” Intermediates and young people will wisely set themselves to the task Cf identifying the nature of Jesus in the people of their community. Such Study will lead you to earnestly seek to walk in his blessed example, lov ing as he loved. ‘WHAT THINE YE OF CHRIST?” AND now we are ready for the climax of the lesson, when Peter declares, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God,” Matthew 16:16. We cannot long stand in the presence of the story of this les son and fail to conclude with Peter that none save the Son of God can do such wondrous things —can love as he loved. Beginning with the Incarnation, we follow through the sweeping claims of Jesus, and we know of a truth that he was very God. Con vinced, then, that we are in the pres ence of-God when we contemplate She nature of Jesus, wha„t are we to say? Does not Isaac Watts sug gest the answer? IVhen I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss,And pour contempt on all my pride. See, from his bead, his hands, his feet, , Sorrow and love flow mingled down, Did e'er such love and sorrow meet. Or thorns compose so rich a crownI Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a pgesent far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my allt • * • (Copyright by the IaterBatioael Council ol Reiistous Bducatioa on bebalt oi 40 Protestant denominations.

The brand of weather we have been experien cing for the past* three weeks can not last through June and July. We are anxiously awaiting a re port from thw chairman of the Sheffield groundhog committee. What a pity last Tuesday wasn’t groundhog day. Wc are still betting dollars to doughnuts that Tom Dewey and Harry Truman will be tlie Repub lican and Democratic nominees for president this year. The producer wants more money for his tobacco, com, cot ton, wheat and potatoes. The consumer wants to purchase these' articles for less money than he is paying. The man who can fig? ure out how to solve this pro blem is entitled to the $64. It is a mighty sorry man or woman who will subscribe for and read a local newspaper for a year or two, and then refuse to pay for it. We are glad to say that we have mighty few of these kind of folks on our subscription books. General Ike Eisenhower says he don’t want to be President and isn’t a candidate. Ike is a very fine soldier but we don’t know what kind of a president he would make. General Grant was a great soldier but he wasn’t an outstanding president. Employees of the big meat packers say the price of meat is too high. They are right. But these same boVs want a wage in crease of 29 cents per hour. If they get the raise it means the price of meat will go up even higher. You can’t eat your cake Lnd have it too. Some of the folks who tore down their wood and coal stoves and put in oil'heaters, are now in sackcloth and ashes. A few years ago the high officials in Washing ton sent out a warning that there would be no coal—that we should use wood. We bought a big Columbia wood heater and came near freezing that winter because we couldn’t buy any wood. There was plenty of coal that winter in spite of the warn ing sent out from Washington. The price of news print has gone up 6 times since 1941. Paper is scarcer today tjian it was a few years ago. The Reeord is forced to cut off the names of subscrib ers who let their subscriptions , lapse. We are putting on our books many new names but have been forced to cut off a number of fofmer subscribers who failed to renew. At the low price we are charging for our paper we are forced to keep our subscribers paid up to date. Lots To Employees The Erwin Cotton Mills Co., are offering to their employees, a 100x200 foot lot just across the river on the wowan side for the purpose of building dweliing houses. As soon as the home is completed the company will deedj the-land to the owner for $1.00. There are 19 tracts set off for this I purpose. Anyone interested can get further information from the: mill officials—Cooleemee Journal. We don't like to make X marks after your name. Your Health De partment We have been urging you to protect your family against com municable diseases by immuniza tion. This is only one of the many ways that we seek to con trol diseases. In order to understand diseases and their causes we must Ieam to think in terms of a new world of living organisms called bacteria; too small to be seen without a mi croscope. These organisms are all around us—all over our skin and clothing and everything we touch. The air is full of them. Not all. of them, however, are dan gerous. Most of them are harm less and many are beneficial. But since we are not in a position to distinguish between the harmless and pathogenic or disease causing organisms, we must be continous Iv on guard. We used to think diseases w re caused by evil spirits, damp air, arid the like, but now we know that each disease is caused by de finite pathogenic organisms com monly called germs, In future articles we will tell you of some of the ways these germs may trav el from a sick to a well person and how to protect yourself a- gainst thefin.

Sheets Word to the Wise Charles M. Sheets, 77, died at his home in Winston Salem last Tuesday, following a serious ill ness of two weeks. Mr. Sheets was a native of Ad vance, a son of the late M . and Mrs. Andrew Sheets, but had liv ed in Winston-Salem for the past 25 years. He represented Davie Coimty in the State General As sembly in 1901, and later served as Superintendent of Davie Coun - ty schools. Mr. Sheets was a member of Centenary Methodist Church. On Nov. 8, 1905, he married Miss Nora Byerly, of Advance, who survives, together with two daugh ters, two grandchildren, and a half brother, James Garwood, of North Wilkesboro. Funeral services were held at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon at Vogler1S Chapel, with Dr. Mark Depp officiating, and the body laid to rest in Salem cemetery. Mr. Sheets had many friends in Davie County who were saddened by news of his death. He was a long-time friend of ours, and we shall miss him on our visits to his adopted city. !

Persons can apply for a Social Security Account Number Card in person, by mail, or through their employers. Most of the ap plications for account number cards are received through the mail bv the Winston-Salem field office of the Social Security Ad ministration. Therefore, most of the cards are mailed to the appli cants. It is important that appli cants not only give a correct mail ing address on their applications but that they write very plainly so that a mittake will not be made in mailing completed cards to them In the past several months many account number cards mailed to applicants ha e been returned to the Winston Salem field office marked “undeliverable” because of insufficient or incorrect address or the person is unknown. Re presentatives of the Winston Sal em field office have talked with postoffice officials in an effort to deliver those cards that have been returned marked “Undeliverable.”. There is nothing that can be done if an incorrect or incomplete ad dress has been given, or if the mailing address has been changed since making application for ac - count number card without giv ing the postoffice a record of the new address. If a mailing address is on a ru ral route, the box number as well as the route number should be entered on the application. The rural earrier also must have a per son’s full name on his list, other wise he cannot make delivery.

Meat-Rationing Program WASHINGTON. — The agriculture department is ready with a detailed meat-rationing program which Sec retary Anderson will present pri vately to Sen. Ralph Flanders (Rep., Vt.), who is preparing a bill to re vive meat controls. Department experts have worked out a tentative program, based upon the old OPA point system but de signed to create a greater de mand for cheaper meat cuts. Il would be administered and enforced by the agriculture department, with the FBI on the prowl for serious violations and black marketing. The planners have taken special pains to weed out irritations which crept into OPA and left a bad taste with the public. The agriculture plan is to ra tion meat alone, not fats and oils. Coupon books would be is sued by voluntary ration boards, but the central directors would be handpicked by Secretary An derson for their ability to get along with the public. The decision to use the point sys tem was reached after close study of the British rationing system, which regulates the money that can be spent rather than the amount oi meat that can be purchased. The plan finally adopted would cost heav ily in coupons for the tenderloin steaks but charge fewer points for the less tender cuts. Third Party Like little boys who whistle passing a graveyard, Democratic chiefs still pretend they have nothing to fear from Henry Wal lace’s third-party movement, though the defection is bound to hurt the party in such key states as New York and California. Taking their cue from the President, who refused to dignify Wallace’s bolt broadcast by lis tening to it, White House aides affect yawns when interviewed on the subject. Privately, they comfort each other with the hope that the Democrats will pick up enough new middle-of-the-road support as a result of the .Wal lace break to offset the leftist vote they will lose in the next election. Three Famous Sons The sons of three famous men called on President Truman the oth er day with a plan to do something “on their own” about the housing shortage. The callers were Frank lin D. Roosevelt Jr., Rep. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, son of the former ambassador to Great Britain, and Robert Wagner Jr., son of New York’s veteran senator. Their plan: A nation-wide cam paign to force congress to take a long-delayed vote on low-cost hous ing. The drive, they said, win be laimched at a Washington meeting of war-vet leaders beginning March I. They explained that our whole economy is threatened by high hous ing costs, and that a housing pro gram for the relief of low-income groups goes hand-in-hand with the government’s battle against inflation. The President emphasized that one of the most serious problems of the current housing situation in addi tion to high prices was the low quality of new housing. Miami Racket Fabulous Miami has come up with a brand new racket — plant ing islands in Biscayne bay. Al ready 15 man-made islands have been dredged off the bay bottom and pushed above the water tine. Green grass and swaying palms are blossoming where fish for merly swam. The result is valu able real estate near the exclu sive Miami Beach area and new source of cash for shrewd pro moters. The new racket will be brought under congressional fire' this ses sion by Florida’s Rep. George Smathers, who is interested in keeping the bay from being clogged with new islands. Oil Reserves Depleted The American oil industry now is spending the huge sum of $1,800,000 in a powerful counter-sales cam- -paign to persuade people not to buy oil. The amazing fact is that it was only just recently that the oil in dustry was willing to face the facts regarding the oil shortage. Before that it was blandly asserting that oil would flow freely as soon as there was sufficient transportation. The inescapable truth is that our basic oil reserves are dry ing up. And the strong likeli hood is that many American homes will go without heat for prolonged periods this winter while farmers will run short of motor fuel to harvest their crops next fall — unless a stiff con servation program is adopted at once. Boiled down to the cold facts fur-' nished the government by oil men, here is the oil outlook today: Amer ica’s petroleum reserves are esti mated at about 22 billion barrels 'Year of Decision' Arrives' for U.S. Baukhage America Alone in Struggle To Save W estern Ideologies By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—Cartoonists and others Vhave titled 1948 "the year of decision.” It is a pretty good title. The only trouble is that America’s most important decision has already been made, and nobody seems to realize it. We know that the British empire has broken up, but, aside from the fact that there is some grum bling about loaning money to the British, it doesn’t seem to concern us very much. In the current issue of the United Nations World magazine, the British historian and author, D. W. Brogan, has an article entitled “The British Shed No Tears for Their Lost Empire." In it, he says: " . . . in the nineteenth century, f --------------------------------------------------- the progress of English prosperity ' was in close as sociation with the spread of a gen eral political and economic religion of all sensible men. The Bank of England, free trade, parliamen tary government a ll increased their range of in fluence together. And the English looked on what was largely their work— and their profit—and found It good. They were satisfied with what they had accomplished. "It is natural enough, today, when this world situation has changed to take pretty calmly the decline in the favored historic^ position of Eng land. If the spread of English ideas, practices and profits has ceased, why worry — unless you are Eng lish.” “Unless you are English.” And yet the people who ought to be doing the worrying are the Americans. We are taking over where Britain left off, and the job is a bigger one than England faced. But,.the aver age person in this country will say In horror: “You talk like a Commu nist! America’s whole' tradition is non-intervention. Of course we had a wild period in South America, and In our salad days as a nation, we somehow acquired what we called Texas although the Mexicans, at the time, thought it was a part of Mex ico, and then, there’s Hawaii. But those days are over. See how promptly and politely we returned the Philippines to themselves, and took our marines out of the banana plantations where they didn’t be long, and the other day even aban doned our bases in Panama Don’t tell m e we’re going to establish a second British empire! We aren’t. The spirit of live and let live is just as strong as it ever was in this country. Unfortunately, however, what Brogan calls “the spread of a general political and economic religion of all sensible men” suddenly encountered a force that threatened to destroy it when the Germans marched into Poland and the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor. It took all America could af ford, and more than Britain could afford, to stop that force. And today, another and stronger force is gaining power, and there is nobody to stop it but the United States. When a British official in London said “every means short of war” would be used “by the British and American governments to keep Greece within their own. strategic and ideological orbit,” it didn’t make much of a ripple outside of Washington. But it was a statement of tremendous import, for it means that the Truman doctrine was not just a phrase, that its implementa tion is now certain. It means that the people responsible for the des tiny of the United States know that the year of decision is here, the de cision having been made, not in Washington, but in the Kremlin, just as the decision to fight Japan was made, not in Washington, but in the office of one squat little man now awaiting a death sentence in Tokyo, one Hideki Tojo, former premier of Japan. Partisans Succeeded In, Soviet Sphere Today it is fashionable to make' funny cartoons about the “third party” announced in December by Henry Wallace. Yet that third party fits neatly into a plait to wreck our way of life, the plan, another part of which was the careful coaching by the Kremlin of the “partisan” fighters in World War H. The parti sans were formed, first to help beat down one of the Soviet’s enemies, but they also were groomed to de stroy representative government in their respective countries. The partisans were most success ful in the countries nearest Russia, in territory where the Red army, in the gflise of allies fighting a common enemy, gained a foothold which they kept when peace came, and which was used ,’to put their trained stooges into power. In Italy and France, they were un able to capture completely the parti san or resistance movements. But they did get a grip on both countries which neither France nor Italy dared throw off until the United States made, a tacit condition of aid. The expulsion of the Communist parties from both governments. Temporarily, at least that much of the carefully-planned Soviet pro gram failed. But new steps are be ing planned. A part of the pattern of communization is Communist alli ance with the left-wing non-Commu- nists. The Reds cooperate with the non-Reds, help them bring about their objectives, then slowly domi nate and absorb them. One method used by Reds to get rid of non-Com- munist left-wing resistance is to help a reactionary government into power. Such a reactionary govern ment suppresses the non-Commu- nist left-wingers, and pushes those surviving deeper into Communist toils. That is where the Wallace third party fits into the Kremlin design. The Reds hope it will split and weaken the liberals in . this country, increase the fric tion between them and the con servatives as much as possible, aid the conservatives to get into power. Then when the reaction sets in, the conservatives will be thrown out, and the well-organ ized Communists can take over easily. Greece is a testing point in the Russian-American struggle. The only way in which the Communist internal aggression there could be checked was for Britam and the United States to step in and actually direct the Greek government. That was done. Much as any country dis likes having a stronger one run its affairs, the United States, as a choice of evils, is the less unwel come to the Greeks, especially when we come bearing gifts without which the government lmows it cannot re sist the Communist organization. When one talks with the “exiles,” the refugees from the Red terror, one is appalled by their attitude. Recently I spoke at length with a former foreign minister of one of the countries now firmly in the jaws of the Soviets. He assured me that today, if there were a free election in his country, not I per cent of the people would vote to support a Red regime. He said these “satellites” are not satellites at all, they are as much a part of the Soviet Union as the Ukraine or Outer Mongolia. The secret police paralyzes all independ ent action. There is a desperation about the attitude of these men who fought the losing battle against the Kremlin. They say there is .absolutely no hope for Europe unless the Russians are driven back to their old borders, and the Balkan states, Poland and Finland are freed of Russian domination. They say there is only one thing that will have ef fect:. A threat by the United States to use force. When the quotation of the London official which I mentioned, stating that the United States and Britain were committed to “measures short of war” came oyer the wires, I was reminded of the conversation with the former foreign minister. He had said to me: “If the United States threatens to use force now, the Russians will pull out of Eastern Europe. They cannot afford war now. They fear the United States. But in a few years, mere threats will not suffice. The Russians then will be ready to fight.” And this force moving against the “political and economic religion of all sensible men” is moving not only in Europe. AU along Russia’s pe riphery, the red tide is rising against its frontiers, in the Middle East, in India whose gates Russia has threatened for centuries, in China, Korea, in the islands adja cent to. Japan. THEY WON’T LAND . . . In Philadelphia at a rally of the marine corps reserve, Gen. Clifton B. Cates (right), new commandant of the marine corps, took occasion to announce that no leathernecks are scheduled to land in Palestine. He also dismissed the sending of about LOftO ma rines to'the Mediterranean as “routine.” With General Cates are Fleet Adm. William Halsey and. James H. Duff, governor of Pennsylvania. .VElKS REVIEW Slump Possible: Truman; Cite Air Power Need In this season of presidential re-^ ports to the nation the alarm bells were jangling for everything from the state of the entire world to the frayed condition of John Doe’s back pocket. And through his “Semi-Annual Economic Report of the President,” Mr. Truman sounded the gong omi nously on a new note: The impend ing peril of economic disaster in the U. S. The nation’s economy, he said, is operating on borrowed time and in flation-ridden Americans are oper ating on borrowed money in a situa tion flirting with depression. Millions of persons in the IoW- income groups, his report pointed out, now are keeping the inflation carousel whirling by liquidating their savings, reducing their current savings and by extensive use of con sumer credit. “Such use of savings for current living expenses .is an ominous sign for the economy as a whole.” Without stopping to consider any possible political aspects of the President’s econonfic report, Amer icans could take it as a sober, realis tic picture of what lies beneath the relative luxury in which many of them are existing now. Exhaustive and complete, the eco nomic survey presented figures no table in that they: I Showed for the first time that • “real purchasing power” of the American masses—basic factor sup porting U. S. economy—has declined 8 per cent since the first quarter of 1948, and that 2 Millions of Americans are living • on their savings accounts and borrowing money. Almost one-quar ter of aU families and more than one-half of families earning less than $2,000 yearly “held no liquid assets in 1947.” Then Mr. Truman tied in these facts with his administration’s pro posed policy to beat the inflation rap. If inflation, he said; is “per mitted to run its own course, it will break with destructive force.” And in order not to let it run its own course the' President again urged adoption of his anti-inflation program—limited price and ration controls. That way, he indicated, lies a new, greater economic era for the U. S. embodying maximum employ ment and solid and lasting pros perity. AIR STRENGTH: tA-Dayf 1953 How important is it that the U. S. have a potent, efficient air force? Virtually a m atter of life or death, thinks the President’s air policy commission which recently reported on the status of the nation’s air strength. Immediate and substantial en largement of the air force for “sur vival in the air age” was urged by the commission; and January I, 1953, was set as “A-day,” or the ulti mate date when the U. S. might con sider itself relatively secure against atomic attack. After “A-day,” the commission intimated, it ‘will be anybody’s ball game as far as airborne atom bombs are concerned. “The air force is hopelessly wanting in re spect o f' the future . . . when a serious danger of atomic attack will exist.” On that premise the group recom mended that the government start now to spend on the air force in 1948 1.3 billion dollars more than the 2.85 billion currently scheduled for this calendar year, and that in 1949 the total be raised still another 1.3 bil lion dollars. For actual air strength the com mission said that by 1942 the U.' S. should command a total of <12,000 first-line planes, plus more than 8,000 held in reserve. Although it was extremely un likely that the air policy commis sion’s recommendations would be adopted in toto by this or any other peacetime congress, the report put realistic emphasis where emphasis belonged. Everyone has been aware that air power is mandatory if the U. S. is to have any degree of na tional security in an era of feverish atomic-bomb production, and the commission has succeeded in put ting that awareness on as-factual a basis as is possible now. OPEN CITY: Jerusalem. Since apparently nothing can stop the quasi-civil war between Arabs and Jews in Palestine, that coun try’s harrassed government has done the next best thing and re quested both factions to spare the holy places of Jerusalem from any depredations they might carry out. The Palestine government asked the Christian, Moslem and Jewish religious communities to declare Je rusalem’s ancient walled area 'an “open city.” That plea couldn’t stop the blood shed but it could preserve the re ligious relics sacred to all three of the world’s main religions. Meanwhile, transportation was being made available to evacuate any of. the 1,500 Jews still living under Arab siege inside the walls. They aire the remnants of 4,000 nor mal residents of the area. Which Way Judea? Moshe Shertok, head of the Pal estine Agency’s political depart ment, iiow in the role of liaison official to U. N., ponders one of the many enigmas partition of the Holy Land has thrust upon him. He said the Jewish agency soon would ask.U. N. for an interna tional police force, arms and funds t o . enforce the partition agreement. FROM SNAIL FEVER TO MALARIA Plan African 'Disease Safari' Armed with microscopes instead of 16-inch guns, naval medical scien tists are preparing for a new sort of African safari on which they will study some of the diseases native to the dark continent. The navy medical group will ac company the African expedition be ing .sponsored by University of Cali fornia, hence will have the duty of providing medical service to the university paleontologists and an thropologists who will cover most of Africa this year seeking traces of primitive man and apes. For their own purposes the navy doctors will study such native dis eases as African sleeping sickness, bilharzia or snail fever, plague, scrub typhus, yellow fever and malaria. They also will scrutinize a number of parasites which inhabit human beings, for instance the par ticular form of hookworm in Mo zambique, Portuguese East Africa. To pursue their studies the group will have to trap and shoot animals which are the disease carriers. Among these are the rodent-carriers of bubonic plague,- the zebra, deer, gazelle, elan and possibly lions, tigers and leopards which are be lieved to be reservoirs of African sleeping sickness. Most of these animals have not been used in research by American medical scientists before because animals Whiph are potential disease carriers are not allowed to be im ported. If they should escape captiv ity they, might introduce an entirely new series, of diseases into the United States. There are particular regulations, for example, ,against the fruit bat, a known carrier: of malaria, which, ti once established here, would de stroy citrus fruits. The fruit bat,’ however, .is. highly regarded by medical scientists as a good laboratory animal because' ij is easily raised in ^captivity. It is possible that certaihfjphases of the malaria cycle now entirely under stood could’be worked, out through study o f it. : • ' CLASSIFIED D E P A R T M E N T AUTOS, TRPCKS & ACCESS- FOB SA U P-EIGHT 33-passenger, high headroom convention WAYNE busses on 1942 Ford chassis.

Pemmican, a sur vivor of the famous eastern blizzard of '88, who has been too indignant over comparisons of recent snow storms with it to speak calmly, has succeeded in regaining his com posure sufficiently to get a few things off his chest. “Mere flurries our modern snowfalls!” declared the colonel. "Nothing beyond a thin covering of light flakes! Any sur vivor of the blizzard of ’88 would have been glad to have brushed away the highest drifts on Manhat- tan Island with his hat. ♦_ “The blizzard of ’88 was a bliz zard. It had zero weather, terrific gales and more snow, no matter what our incompetent and unin formed weather bureaus say. I don’t care what the weather man says about more snow on the level in this peewee storm. None of it was.on the level in ’88, and four dozen stalwart men who went out- to measure it were never heard of again. Their in struments were later found in a siKiwslitle 75 miles north. *_ “In New York a bronze eagle, weighing 28 pounds, atop the Grand Union Hotel, was blown clear across Brooklyn and later found buried un der six feet of snow on the roof of a bath house at Coney Island. A cigar store Indian near Niblo’s Gardens got caught in an ice floe and was later found in the lobby of Barnum’s Museum miles away. A marble statue of Daniel Webster that was away uptown for that era got turned completely around in a sudden gust and ice cracked the base. ♦ “A farmer milking a cow in a shed on a farm where the Commodore Hotel now stands got brick ice cream. He started for his cottage 100 yards away but was buried in snow before he made it. The cow was in a perfect state of preserva tion that July, but it took time to get the ice off. Why I felt so cold for years after that blizzard that ten years later I went to the Klondike which seemed to me like a summer resort....

Not to have to go on being a king anywhere on earth these days, especially in the Bal kans, oh boy! I bet it was like get ting a last minute pardon after what looked like a life stretch. ._ It seems only yesterday that your picture was a rotogravure special. You were just a scared looking kid who seemed always to be asking “Where’s popper ITiis time?" Most of the time you couldn’t figure whether the old gent was a king or a traveling man and you must have had a tough time as a child under standing whether you were to suc ceed to a throne or a sleeping car. The old gent abdicated so often that the Romanian throne was the only one in the world that had to be fitted with metal slots with the words “Oc> cupied” and “Unoccupied.” » It looked for a while as if Moscow would be brutal enough to let you go on being king, but just when no escape seemed at hand you fell in love and went in for a capitalistic thing like engagement and marriage without the necessary Kremlin pass ports to a private life, and presto you were let out without even two weeks’ notice and only small sev erance pay. •_ Congratulations, however, as it was a close call. Now you can love a fine young woman, marry her and sit around in a bathrobe, while the wife cooks some scrambled eggs, without bringing on international complications, threatening world peace providing Vishinsky nuts. What is more you can come home at night, kiss the wife and say “What’s new, toots?” without being accused of warmongering. You deserved it, Michael, my boy.

Company for Dinner “I just don’t feel like I can enter tain now that food prices are so high,” said a friend of mine to me recently. Actually you can do so, I explained to her, if you serve less expensive food but dress it up, com pany style. There’s pot roast, for instance, which, done to succulence and ten derness, and gar- n i s h e d with stuffed primes or spiced crab ap ples, leaves noth ing to be desired. Or what about a meat loaf? Now there’s a good o ld - fashioned meat dish that can be dressed up beautifully with a fluting of mashed potatoes and served with parsleyed carrots and glazed onions. Short ribs of beef? Yes, indeed, there are few meat dishes that can come up to it in tastiness. Desserts can be made that are very inexpensive, but, put in a mold, they have “company manners.” Here are menus to fit the smallest of purses, but they all have style and class. Menu I.

Milk Products Help In Conserving Grain Better Rations Result When Proteins Are Used With a world' grain emergency and a national drive to conserve grain used in feeding, and with grain prices high, milk by-products are more important than ever in poul try feeding. Balanced rations probably can do more to conserve grain used in feed ing than any other single measure. Milk nutrients found in skim milk, buttermilk and dried cheese whey have been found highly effective in building balanced poultry rations. These milk by-products provide animal proteins of unusual quality. The milk proteins, lactalbumen and Total Dry Milk Production—1346 “ Hunua Consuuptlvn — BoUra Proc*^ C Dried Ctstin tad NoMtt Diy MUk Solidt— Aniottl Feed0 Dried WbeyS Dried ButitrmUk casein, have a high growth promot ing value and contain all the essen tial amino acids. These proteins give balance to the lower quality vegeta ble protein in grains normally fed poultry. Milk by-products are rich in lac tose, or milk sugar, a natural laxa tive which helps poultry maintain good intestinal health and minimizes the hazards of intestinal parasites. These milk by-products also pro vide minerals, particularly calcium and phosphorous and contain the water soluble vitamins of whole milk. In preparing a balanced ration the object is to feed the correct proportion of the various nutrients that poultry require. In every case there is a point beyond which it is wasteful to include additional grain without providing other nutri ents because Hie fowl cannot make complete economical use of all nour ishment in additional grain. Killing Chestnuts The Asiatic blight which struck down native chestnut orchards in the United States, estimated at sums up to a hundred million dol- Forest Fire Commissioner W. L. Shaddix inspecting chestnut burs for asiatic blight. Iars some 25 years ago, is still active, and doubt that it will pass over and let this luscious crop come back usually is accepted by well in. formed agriculturists. Poultry Relish Grit; Aids Grinding Process Grit is a material of value to poul try but full details are not yet defi nitely known, according to Univer sity of Delaware. It is certain that birds like it and, when grit is fed freely, they consume more than is actually needed. Grit containing a large amount of soluble calcium has been widely recommended but ap pears to have no advantage where other forms of calcium are included in the ration. Actually it might be detrimental, say Delaware special ists. Helping the gizzard in the grinding process is the only known function of grit. A hard mica grit ol suitable size doubtless should be available to all chickens. Season to please your family. It is not economical to prepare foods which do not go over with the fam ily. When you have to make substitu tions, choose foods that are the same kind such as cabbage or spinach in place of lettuce; another fruit for a fresh fruit. " Shop in person and early in the day for best quality. Learn to read labels so that you’ll know what to. expect, how many the product or container serves, and its cooking characteristics. Productivity Depends Upon Organic Matter The soil’s ability to produce higi crop yields needed to feed hungry millions depends on its organic m at ter supply. Soils rich in organic matter are good “sponges” fot soaking up and holding rainfall fot crops. Organic matter helps restore soil structure, improves tilth and helps plant roots get more nutrients from the soil.'

Jriausas _______________ The E ighth Person Did you know that you’re working 10 days out of every month for the government? Weil, you are. That is the extent to which we have al lowed activities of the government to grow. Perhaps, as a nation, we can see that the business of govern ment has expanded. But when we get to looking at the books, the chances are we find a good deal more mushrooming than we imag ined. Look at this another way. If you may be considered an average person, you pay taxes at the same rate as if your employer paid you no wages ten days out of each month, but instead paid the check over to the government. This comes from the fact that right now fed eral, state, and local taxes consume about one-third of all the dollars earned in the United Slates. That's a burden on our necks that merits attention. You ATe Sharing Now don’t think you can get out of this by pleading innocent. You’re just a wage earner, you say? Not a high-bracket man who turns over three-fourths of Iiis net income to the government? Sure, you know the take is high, but you say he’s the man who dees the squawking? Listen. While you may not be pay ing directly your ten days wages to the government, you’re paying just the same. The bill is made out every fiscal year, and you are helping to pay it. Where does all this money go, you ask? Of course, we have a lot of expenditures -in government, be sides paying salaries and other kinds of allowances to individuals. Yet, one out of every eight work ers in America in 1939 drew his salary from the government. Leav ing the city and the state govern ments out of the picture, it is esti mated that one out of every eight persons in the country is on the fed eral payroll right now, in one form or another. Stand eight average people togeth er—one of them gets a check regu larly from Uncle Sam! Amazing, isn’t it? And remember, you are footing the bill. This includes civil ian employees, those receiving old age assistance, veterans, dependents of veterans, those in the army, navy and coast guard. This is a total of more than 16 million people re ceiving monthly checks from the United States government. Need For Policy This means that every seven per sons must supply a check for the eighth eech mo-*?!. Tt is indeed s difficult task to decide where we*d like to start cutting. But- we rr.urt, or our nation is in definite danger. If we do not, we shall be in the position of the Roman Empire, which lasted only little more than 400 years. Rome had too many folks on her payroll. She was soon dust. ‘ Historians are saying America h~s already begun to decline. I will not agree with this viewpoint, provide:1 we come to our senses. It is not easy to say: “Whoa!” It is difficult to get out from under tax burdens once they’re yoked upon us. But we must adopt a def inite policy of reducing government expenditures. We must set free our industry, and investment capital as well, from the over-burden of taxes. We must have genuine prosperity. And when we keep asking the gov ernment to spend, let us remem ber that power-out-of-purse is soon power-out-of-hand. It’s an easy but lure way to national ruin. Ujiefe Sam Says "What’s in it for me?” Anytime you buy something or invest money In something you should ask this question and get a gilt-edge answer. .Supposing a U. S.

IffilM M m m m m m W O m m Dear Dad:A featherweight hull can be pro duced from these same plans by sub stituting 1/32-inch sheet balsa for the I/ 16th stock specified. Also, if l/32nd stock is used the hull must be stiffened at chine and deck sheer with pieces of l/16-inch-sqnare balsa. Start cbnstruction by making up full-size patterns of the various hull members (see Figures I and 2). Trace off these patterns onto balsa wood and cut out just beyond outlines. Trim each piece to exact shape with fine sandpaper. Soften the two side pieces and the deck and forward bottom pieces by boiling them for about ten minutes. Bend to approximate shape and allow to dry before attempting to as semble the pieces. When dry, pin the parts together, first pinning the deck onto the top edge of the side pieces. Set all pieces in plenty of waterproof glue except at the hatch sec tion, which must be removable in order to change batteries. When the glue has set fast, remove all pins and put in the shaft and shaft hanger by pressing through the bottom and cementing the Joint. Make sure the shaft is lined up fore and aft before cementing. Put in the motor block and the Eveready battery clips, cut to shape and bent from old tin can stock. Connect motor and propeller shafts with a short length of plastic or rubber tubing. Make the propeller as shown in Figures 3 and 4 and mount the propeller to the shaft with cement.Connect Eveready battery, switch and motor terminals and oil the shaft in its tubular housing liberally. Motor can be either boltea down with small screws or held in place with rubber binders The latter method is preferable. Put in the stabilizing Sn or fixed rudder exactly 3% inches from the stem, switch on the iuice and watch her go. Bottom ■ pieces forward of the step may be flat, V-shaped or inverted V-shapsd to suit. The featherweight hull with three Evcrcadv Pcn-I.i^ht batteries will give more speed, of course.Sincerely yours. S b a u f d o lf/e Be An “Engineer in Good Eating”—Do Home Canning!

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 IB years’ work, but hisi 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. Tbis 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.

Juvenile Delin quency A news s ory from Atlanta, Ga., tells us a group of voung'ters, ell in their late teens, goine; on a spree of wrecking automobiles jnst “for the thrill of it.” AU were from promiuent families and .me was the son of a prominent minis, ter. About twentv five automo biles, most of them news models were destroyed. This incident should serve, as we believe it will, to arouse the A. merlcan pejp'e to inquire more seriously into the cause of juvenile delinquency. The crimes of these boys, were not because of need, hut of lack inner character. They were motivated not by anv h eh or noble aim, hut bv purely selfish, sensual, unmoral desires There was complete absence of moral nr ethical considerations. Onr first suggestion is that their acts we-e part of the materialistic philoso. which bas entered into much of our social and economic life where high motives are replaced with methods of gain. Snccess in life has come to be measured iu terms of gain instead of character. We have heard tn^uv of these accept ed successes telling their stortes over the radio, and hoasting of the fact they lied about age or abilitv in order to get a starting opportu nity. Out of this comes a vast crowd of wise crackers who entertain the the American people hv wisecrack ing away the serious nrob'ems can be met only by people of char acter, intelligence, and self sacri fice. Entirelv too mu Ii maudiin senti. ment has created laxity in law en forcement a n d juveniles, an d others, have es-caped the penalty of their wrong doing because so cie'v has been made the scapegoat Part of tbr blame iies with society, bui we shall continue to have crime until individuals, including juveniles, are made to bear thr responsibility of their acts It should, become a settled convic. tion that crime will be punished. Again, t-<6 much resotmsibility has been placed on yonrh. In or der to correct some injustices we have gone too far. We are trying to pnt too much democracy npon youth before they ^ad lime to de velop. Juvenile delinquency is in part attributable to the tact thai we have lemoved discipline from the homes and from our schools. If vouth insists npo ■ breaking law it should be made to face the conse quences of fas acls. Lastly the home must take its share of blame. Here is the btil- walk of the nation, where char, acler is built upon ideals and ex amples. And, this business of taking work awav from youth is foolish and disastrous. Woik is one of the greatest teachers anrt disciplines. We must bring back the high idealism of honest labor. — Keruersville News.

S. of Europe WASHINGTON—The biggest mis. take made by the Marshall planners —although not an irreparable one— was not to tie up the United States of Europe with the Marshall plan. There still is time to do this. Al ready France and Italy have started to discuss tariff barriers and mutual economic problems. However, these two countries alone cannot build a United States of Europe. Further more, European prejudice is deep- rooted. It will take astute and force ful statesmanship from the outside to build a United States of Europe. Obviously the first step is a United States' of Western Europe, which would include ,such countries as France, Italy, Belgium, the Nether lands, the Scandinavian countries, Switzerland and so on. Once this is organized, the chances are strong that, one by one, the countries on the edge of the Iron Curtain—Czech oslovakia, Austria, Poland — soon would start veering over to the United States of Western Europe. The trouble with the United States of America is that al though it has built up the most successful and powerful federal union in history, it has Ud its light under a bushel. Our most convincing selling argument is to point to our own success. In stead, we have let Moscow steal our thunder and start organiz ing a United States of Uie Bal kans. Almost every European is a po tential American. His dream is t< migrate to the United States. The problem is to convert him into an American without actually trans porting him across the Atlantic. The problem is not an easy one. But by using the tremendous reser voir of good will we have in Europe, by using the Marshall plan and by using a lot more American sales manship to build a United States of Europe, it can be done. Lincoln—His Spirit Is with the Ages Martyr, Emancipator, Myth, Abe Is'Builded Forever' Four-Letter Word Paul Porter, former OPA di rector, was asked by a newsman to comment on prospects for a Republican-approved price con trol program. "The only answer I can give," said Porter, "is a four-letter word.” “We can’t print it," warned the newsman, "but I’d like to know what the word is, just to gratify my own curiosity.” “I won’t say the word,” replied Porter. “I’ll spell it. T-A-F-T.” Farm Leader’s Formula James Patton, rugged boss of the National Farmers’ union, urged President Truman to walk up to congress some day just like any other American citizen and lay his views before a congressional com mittee. "What you ought to do some time,” snorted the Colorado farm leader, "is take your hat in hand, walk up Pennsylvania avenue, go before a congres sional committee and say, ‘Gen tlemen, I am here to testify in the people’s interest.’ ” The president smiled and shook his head. “My most effective weapon,” he disagreed, “is to stand before a mike and talk to the people.” “If you want to win the next elec tion,” persisted Patton, "you have to do more than talk. You have to' dramatize your views. Instead of strolling on the White House lawn, stroll up Pennsylvania avenue with a purpose. It would be the first time since Jefferson that a president ap peared personally before a congres sional committee.” “Well,” admitted Mr. Truman, “that would be rather dramatic.” Patton also invited the President to address the National Farmers’ union convention in Denver. * * • Tax Battle Begins President Tnnnan quietly called in his best friends on the house ways and means committee the other day to build up as much tax opposition as possible against .bull-headed Chairman Harold Knutson of Min nesota. The three ranking Democrats on the committee — Congressmen Rob ert Doughton of North Carolina, Jere Cooper of Tennessee and John Dingell of Michigan — were sum moned urgently to the White House. In forceful language, the President called upon them to throw their full weight behind his proposal for a $10 individual tax cut, to be paid but of in creased corporation taxes. The value of government bonds must be maintained, he stressed, by paying off as much as possible on the public debt. That is the reason high-profit corporations must be taxed higher, he explained. Other wise it would be impossible to give tax relief to the little fellows who need it^jnost. Truman argued that shifting $3,200,000,000 of the tax load from private individuals to big corpora tions would do nothing but lop off some excess profits. It would reach only into the heavy-profit field, he argued, affecting less than 25,000 of 100,000 corporations. By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator, Like everything else in this political year, preparations for Lincoln’s birthday in 1948 are chiefly a m atter of scrambling through the Great Emancipator’s writings to find a text for a highly-partisan outburst. But February 12 is the occasion for more than a barrage of political speeches. To me Lincoln is real-because he and my childhood conception of my grandfather are strangely blended. Both, like Merlin’s Camelot, are build- ed forever because, to me, they never were builded at all—they were myth rather than fact—a myth not of my own making, but handed down through two generations. ^ My mother, as a little child, "saw Lincoln" (like a man “sleeping,” she thought) as he lay in state in Chicago. My grandm other stood beside her swathed in the heavy mourning veil of the day' which she felt perhaps was as much for Lincoln then- as it was for her soldier - hus band who had given his life in the same cause. Bankhaee To my mother, staring at that coffin in Chicago, there always re mained a confused impression of mourning for the man she thought was not dead, but sleeping, and the father she never had seen. Perhaps that feeling was imparted to me. My mother described the scene to me. It was clearly etched in her memory like the rest of the strange hegira which she took westward with her , widowed mother from a little town in New York state (as a bride, my grandmother had pio neered the West with her young New York state farm-born husband). Of course, the memories were blurred and blended, undoubtedly, with later repetition of the event, but the picture was clear, and I only wish I could repeat it in my moth er’s own words. The train trip west, the arrival in the great city, the crowd about her as she advanced slowly with her mother into the great hall. Then the coffin which she did not know was a coffin for there was no such word in her tiny vocab ulary. Her mother let go the little girl’s hand to move back her own heavy veil. Then the little girl remembered being* lifted in the strong hands of the guard. About him she could re call only a blue tunic, shiny brass buttons and the smell of tobacco. Then the face of the “sleeping” man, and her mother’s quiet tears. (The body of the martyred President, as you know, was taken from the East Room of the White House to the capitol where it lay in state. Then it was carried across the country, pausing for homage in several ’ cities until it reached Spring field, Lincoln’s, home.) I repeated my mother’s story after, her death, as best I could on the air—and there were sequels. Letters—one from a lady in New England for whom the broadcast had awakened memories . . . her father had been one of the Union soldiers chosen to stand ,guard at the catafalque in Chicago. It might well have been he who lifted my mother. The soldiers who had been chosen for that honored duty were permit ted to divide the gold-fringed drape that covered the coffin, she wrote me, and she, consigned to me a frag ment which I cherish. There were many other let ters. One from the niece of one of Lincoln’s cabinet members, William Pitt Fessenden; an other enclosing the announce ment shown in the cnt. Those were two sequeli to the story of the little girl and her weep ing mother. I think the everlasting sequel can be read again and again in the story of America, as the story of Lincoln is projected far on into history. I think I have seen it pro jected in the crowds who come to Washington, avid with guidebook and camera to collect “souvenirs.” Only this week, the garrulous cab driver who carried me from Union station was full of a story of “South Americans”, who spent endless hours (according to his timing) at the Lincoln Memorial. The memo rial remains a shrine for all visitors, native and foreign, a place where flippant chatter is stilled before that almost living replica warmed to life ottt of cold marble by the inspired hand of Daniel Chester French. It lives as the spirit of Abra ham Lincoln lives. To the little child beside the cata falque, except for her mother’s tears there was no mourning in that moment. Only something sol emn, something important, some thing that touched old and young alike because it had in it the cosmic rhythm of the epic, and, as well, the simple, soul-touching melody of the folk song. And I wonder if there was not some intangible, some eternal qual ity of what Lincoln did, or what his character has etched into the his- PROGRAMME OV Funeral Ceremonies! n r B om oR o f To b« Imm In Um ROTUNDA OF THE CAPITOL) ON Thui$da)s l/lajf 4th, 1865, at 3 o’clocK P.

The direc tor complained that the factories were producing inferior products. He wanted more and better goods, more washing machines, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators and decent furniture. Are you surprised tbat such criticism is permitted? If you are, you don’t understand the Soviet system. Criticism is al lowed as a sound method of cor recting faults — although it dcesn’t necessarily displace the “cure,” which means banish ment temporarily or perma nently to Siberia, just as in the good old days. I am reminded of columnist Lowell Mellett’s story about the scope of Russian criticism. On his trip to Russia, he was shown around by a very clever female guide.

NEWS REVIEW Nazi-Soviet Pact Told; Too Much Aid: Hoover The celebrated "cold war” h as^- been enriched by another U. S. propaganda strike, probably the heaviest yet, against Russia. It took the form of official state department publication of captured German foreign office records re vealing the extent and nature of Nazi-Soviet relations from 1939 to 1941, the period covered by the non aggression pact between the two nations which ended when Hitler attacked Russia on Jime 22, 1941. In the light of the U. S.-Russian wartime alliance, the Nazi docu ments, published in book form, tell a sordid story of secret agreements, global gambling with nations for stakes and the feverish fetish of po litical expediency which gripped the minds of German and Russian lead ers before and during the war. High point of the hitherto secret dossier was the revelation that in 1940 Adolf Hitler and V. M. Molotov of Russia agreed that Britain and the U. S. must be excluded from Europe, Asia and Africa. The book told also how, in 1940, Stalin had offered to join the Ger- man-Italian-Japanese axis if Hitler would give Russia a free hand in Finland, a military base near the Dardanelles and a dominant voice in the oil-rich Middle East. Then the documents show how Hitler, disdain ing even to answer Stalin’s proposi tion, ordered his armies to prepare “to crush Soviet Russia in a quick campaign.” One of the major factors which precipitated the German attack on Russia was the Soviet demand for dominant control of the Balkans. Hitler, who was as aware as any man of the political, economic and strategic value of the pivotal Balkan area, turned thumbs down on that Russian desire also. Sum and substance of the state department’s spectacular publica tion of the Nazi documents was little more than an emphatic indication of an already well-known fact: That Russia, with aggressive consistency, has been hungering for years for leadership in the Balkans, for new pre-eminence in the Dardanelles, for expansion in Central Asia and for a free hand in Finland and Poland. Value of the publication of these documents at this time is question able, despite the flagrantly apparent anti-Russian propaganda they can and will inspire. State department’s action obviously was aimed at rally ing public support behind the Mar shall plan, soon to come up for con gressional action, but it also would serve to aggravate and inflame the already dangerously touchy “cold war.” Legislation to establish a perma nent, government-regulated Ameri can rubber industry with a 675,000- ton annual capacity and a required annual production of at least 225,000 tons a year has been introduced by Rep. Paul Shafer (Rep., Mich.). The bill refers throughout to the product in question as “American- made rubber.” The. word “syn thetic,” as the term for factory made rubber, is not mentioned. FOREIGN AID: Hoover Plan Herbert Hoover, former U. S. president, has urged congress not to commit this nation—even “morally” —to a four-year Einopean recovery program, and advised a reduction of the 6.8-billion-dollar outlay pro posed to carry the Marshall plan through its first 15 months. In the 4,000-word statement which he filed with the senate foreign re lations committee Hoover expressed his opposition views to the administra tion’s foreign aid plans. Of greater signif icance, however, was the fact that Hoover’s own opin ions amounted to a documentary of the Hoover entire right-wing, conservative element . of thinking which rejects an “internationalist” foreign policy on the grounds that U. S. resources should be concen trated at home. Decrying even a “moral commit ment” for the four-year period con templated in the state department’s proposals, he asserted the U. S. should keep itself entirely free “to end our efforts without recrimina tion.” He expressed, too, the fear that a lavish outpouring of aid would weaken the American economy to the extent that all world recovery would be defeated. The volume of exports and funds proposed in" the Marshall plan, he opined, might aggravate the al ready serious inflation, draining our national resources and continuing high tax rates, “all of which might bring depression and thus destroy the strength of the one remaining source of aid to a world of chaos.” Hoover recommended further that the Marshall plan, if it is adopted, be run by a bipartisan commission, and suggested that up to three bil lion dollars in food, coal, fertilizers and cotton be labeled frankly as "gifts” because unsecured loany “will not and cannot be repaid." REFUSAL: Prediction About all the average U. S. citizen knows about Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower is that he either will or will not get into the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination this year. But Roy A. Roberts, president of the Kansas City Star and leading promoter of pro-Eisenhower senti ment, now says he definitely will not. Roberts’ prediction was that the general soon would remove himself from all consideration along those lines. Said Roberts: “I’ll venture a guess that before June the general may take himself completely out of the political pic ture. I am sure the message will come' when he lays aside his mili tary uniform February 15." He emphasized, though, that he was not speaking for Eisenhower. With Alf Landon, 1936 Republican presidential nominee, Roberts had been doing most of the political drum-beating for Eisenhower. HAPPY HOLIDAYS This W on t H appen A gain U ntil 1 9 7 6 You like to have holidays fall on weekends? Then 1948 should be a year of great promise. Most of the major holidays this year will fall on Saturdays and Sun days, which is either good or bad, depending on how you feel about getting time off down at the old mill. Sundays, whereon fall Washing ton’s birthday, Memorial Day and Independence Day, aren’t too bad because the government and most other employers observe the Mon days following as legal holidays and so extend holiday benefits to their employees. But for the working man it’s a rough shake when a holiday falls on a Saturday, for it doesn’t bring an alternate day off. And this year both Christmas and New Year’s Day (1949) fall on Saturdays. Of the three remaining holidays, two come on weekdays without the aid of any idiosyncracies on the part of the calendar. Labor Day, September 6 this year, arrives on Monday simply be cause it always falls on the first Monday of September instead of on any one numerical day in the month. Same goes for Thanksgiv ing on Thursday. Armistice Day just happens to come on Thursday this year. Study of the calendar and holi days for 1948 also developed an other odd angle. The year’s three Sunday holidays can happen only once every 28 years. So, the last time February 22, May 30 and July 4 all fell on Sun days in the_ same year was in 1920. The next time after this year will be in 1976. The deciding factor is the extra day (February 29) every seven leap years. Now this is the place for someone who knows calendar law to argue that since the coming year 2000 (a century year divisible by 400) is not a leap year, it will be 32 more years, or 2008, after 1976 before the three holidays again appear on Sun days. However, this is not a subject to spend much time worrying about. Besides, who’ll be alive to take a holiday in the year 2008? Omnpma SPBA KIN'...

She felt Bill’s fin gers tighten on her arm. “So you better show us that- apart ment before she changes her mind,” he added. She glanced up at him with a ner vous little smile, feeling ashamed, wishing she hadn’t let him read her thoughts. The landlady laughed and Peggy laughed louder than she’d wanted to. “We want two rooms,” Bill said, “two rooms and a decent kitchen. And not facing on the street, please. Too many trucks in Greenwich Vil lage to suit me.” “I adore the Village,” Peggy said quickly. The trouble was, the words seemed to jump out before she knew what she was going to say. Bill stared up at a long crack in the ceiling. “Sure, we adore the Vil lage.” She pinched him when the land lady wasn’t looking and he gave her hair a tug, and everything was all right again. They followed the land lady up the stairs. She had just the thing for them, she said. "A couple of kids like you won’t mind walking up four flights.” “Oh, no,” Peggy answered. Then she glanced at Bill. “Well, would we?” Bill looked up at the ceiling again. “Oh, no.” She knew what he was thinking. And it was true. She didn't want to live in a place that had elevators. Bad enough to have him come home talking about them every night. Bad enough to have to answer the neigh bors’ questions with, “My husband? Oh he . . . er, sells elevators.” She could see them lifting their eye brows. “Elevators? Pardon me for smiling, Mrs. Bill, but I never knew any one had to sell elevators. I al ways thought they . . . just hap pened.” No, definitely not a place with ele vators. She didn’t want to be re minded of her husband’s business every time she went in and out of the house.The landlady’s short, bowed legs were leading them up the stairs briskly, showing them how easy it was to climb four flights. “You’ll find it nice and quiet here, Fm sure. The gentleman who has it now has been there three years. And he’s a writer.” "A writer?” Peggy had kind of a funny feeling all of a sudden. Like she’d gone up in an elevator too fast. A writer. That was what she’d always thought she’d m arry some day. Or maybe an artist. Somebody like that. Peggy /s Intrigued They were walking up the last flight now and some one upstairs opened a door. Don’t let him be any better looking than Bill, she begged. As it happened, he wasn’t. He was just a pale young man with glasses. He stood there in his slacks and blue shirt and he looked . . . well, on second glance he looked . . . dif ferent. Nobody would ever take him for a life guard. That’s what she’d thought Bill was that first time, when they’d met on the beach. “Come right in." The young man waved something at them. It turned out to be a monkey wrench, of all things. “Don’t mind me, I’m just the plumber.” Peggy laughed. It was so unex pected, it made her feel good. “The plumber,” she said, as their eyes met, “Imagine.” “Some plumber,” the landlady said. “That’s gratitude,” he said, look ing at Peggy, “I do her a favor and she makes fun of my plumbing.” “I think it’s nice if a man knows how to fix the plumbing," Peggy said. She glanced from the thin hands to the thin, pale face. “I real ly do.” He looked pleased. ‘T m a paint er, too,” he told her. “Look, I paint ed this china closet. What do you think of the shade?” It made her feel so flattered to have a writer showing off for her benefit. “It’s a lovely color,” she told him. And then she could feel Bill’s eyes on her. "Isn’t it, Bill?” “Yeah,” BiU said dryly, “blue." Peggy winced. Well, that proved he wasn’t color blind. “It’s the same shade as your hat,” this writer was saying. She blushed. “Think of a man’s noticing that.” “Yeah,” Bill said. The way he said it, it wasn’t exactly a compli ment. the top of the doorway as they went in together. “This is a dog house,” he said. Peggy was in such a daze she thought he said, “Doll’s house,” at first. “Isn’t it,’’ .she said excitedly. And then, seeing his expression, “What?” “A dog house,” he said. “Look, I can almost touch the ceiling. Lis ten Peggy. I’ve learned something about buildings in the elevator busi ness. Do you know how old this house is? Why, it was a dump when they built the Brooklyn bridge.” Peggy gasped.. "He heard you!” Suddenly all the thrill was gone and her heart felt like lead. Her eyes were blinking as she turned and went back into the living room. Bill followed behind her, stooping with an exaggerated wariness as he went through the doorway. Her fingers were twisting the en gagement ring nervously around "I think it’s nice if a man knows how to fix the plumbing,” Peggy said. She glanced from the thin hands to the thin, pale face. "I really do.” "If you want to see the apart ment,” the landlady began sharply. Then she pulled a smile over her false teeth. “This here’s the kit chen.” Bill said, “You mean the apart ment opens into the kitchen?” Behind his glasses, the young man’s light blue eyes were looking amused. "Oh you'll get used to it. And it’ll give your friends some thing to talk about.” “He’s some little talker himself, isn’t lie?” the landlady said. “ I think he’s wonderful,” Peggy said, laughing. He certainly knew how to make a person feel perfectly at ease. Then she got a look at Bill’s face. She began to feel miserable. If only he wouldn’t look like that. Like a . . . She tried to push the thought out of her mind but it came right back again. . . . Like a dis appointed salesman. I’m sure you’ll make a mistake if you don’t buy our elevators, Mr. Kotch. The landlady led them into the living room, and when Peggy saw it, her heart sat up and begged. Heir eyes drank in the bookcase that covered a whole wall, the orig inal paintings on unframed canvas, the oversized fireplace with three painted masks above it. And'there was a table with a typewriter and a lots of papers piled-up in care less stacks. .What darling taste you have. She almost said it, but she thought about Bill just in the nick of time. “The bedroom’s in there,” the landlady said. She let Peggy and Bill go into the bedroom by them selves.

To get out of every thing as painlessly as possible. “I guess you have to be a writer or something to appreciate it,” she told him, forcing out the words. She glanced at the pale young man and managed to smile. “A writer or an artist.” “ (~)H I don’t know,” the young man protested with a shrug. “What kind of stuff do you write?” Bill asked grudgingly. ',“Huh?” the young man said. The landlady laughed. “Him? He’s no writer. He’s my son.” And she added proudly, “fie sells vacuum cleaners.” Run out of the room. Rim down the stairs, she told herself. But Bill’s arm went around her shoul ders, steadying her, and his arm felt strong and tender. “My man is a salesman, too,” she said. And she held her head up. “He sells elevators.” New Chemical Weapons To Combat Weed Pests Farm ers and householders wag ing war on crab grass .and other troublesome weeds and grasses can look for help from two new weapons. The weed-killing chemicals bear the jaw-breaking names of sodium isopropyl xanthate and allyl mixed chlorophenyl carbonate. They have been tested by federal and state agricultural experiment stations “with excellent results against many weeds and grasses not eco nomically or satisfactorily con trolled by other chemicals or prac tices,” the announcement said. They are being used in active experimen tal programs but are not yet avail able commercially. The second-named herbicide is the one that combats crab grass, as well as barnyard, orchard and blue grass, cattails and similar plants. It has a hormone-like action which attacks the root structure of the weed and arrests growth immedi ately by preventing seed develop ment, even though no effect is ap parent on the surface for the first week or longer. It also is used effec tively in combination with 2,4-D against some broad-leaved weeds not affected by 2,4-D used alone. The sodium isopropyl xanthate is described as a "complete killer” which should be applied directly to crop plants. It shows promise for pre-emergence treatment, in spray or dust form, and h as' been used with success in the chemical weed ing of growing crops.

Power of Holy Spirit Lesson for February 15, 1948 Dr. Newton fT vWO decades ago, the famous preacher. Rev. Reginald J. Campbell, declared, “The 18th Cen tury may be characterized as the Century of God the Father; the 19th Century as the Cen tury of God the Son; and we are praying that the 20th Century may be experienced as the Century of the Holy Spirit.” That was a brave and hopeful prayer. May we claim the same hope. “These th in g s have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Com forter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remem brance, whatsoever I have said unto you,” John 14:25 and 26. Go on to read Acts 2:1-4; 3:1 to 4:31; Galatians 5: 22-26 and you will have the Scripture passages for Sunday’s lesson, with Ephesians 6:10-20 as the devotional reading. PETER ACTS BRAVELY TN THE passage in Acts we have the picture of Peter and John about to enter the temple on the Sabbath, when suddenly they find themselves confronted by a sick beggar. What could they do with him and for him? He was asking for money. Peter said, “Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee, in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk!” The lame man stood up, leaping and walking and rejoicing, and went into the temple with Peter and John. Only the power of God can do such mighty works. Peter was not afraid to tackle the man’s needs, since he relied upon God’s wisdom and strength. WHY PETER WAS BRAVE D ETER is often pictured as a very 1 quick-tempered person. He was usually the first to speak in every situation. He was the leader of the group—a natural leader of men. But Peter did not assume to meet the poor man’s need in his strength. Only “in the Name of Jesus.” When we forget self and rely upon the Holy Spirit for direction, we are enabled to meet and mas ter any situation. Juniors will do well to remember these words, “Not by might; nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts,” Zeehariah 4:6. Junior boys and girls can meet life’s tasks in the same assurance in which Peter dealt with the lame man, if we rely upon the Holy Spirit. SECRET OF CHRISTIAN POWER ‘‘V O U shall receive power when 1 tiie Holy Spirit has come upon you.” Acts 1:8. That is the secret of the Christian’s power. It does not originate elsewhere. It is God’s gift to those who implicitly trust in him. This great truth is particularly appealing to Intermediates and seniors. Young people are keenly sensitive to Qie times in which they live. We live today in an hour of unprecedented power — atomic, energy! But all of the marvels of modem science have not been able to give young people the sense of mastery. Rather, we are afraid. The scientists themselves tell us that this is history’s most- precarious age. Only when the Holy Spirit is reg. nant in our hearts can we possess the power of which Paul is writing In Galatians, when he says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temper ance.” WHEN WE HAVE THAT POWER WHY, then, should we ever be weak, when we may always possess that power? This is the mosl searching question for any Chris tian. The answer will lead us to cer tain inevitable admissions. We be come weak spiritually when we for get to pray, when we forget to read God’s word, when we allow the in terests of this world to blind out eyes and deafen our ears to tha reality of God’s presence. The Holy Spirit will dwell with in us, if only we will welcome him. He will not come unbidden; he will not remain unwanted. He cannot be made secondary. Either he guides or surrenders the reins to us. Our lives are spiritually strong and healthy when the Holy Spirij governs. Our work is effective, oui words are compelling. We speak nol our wisdom, but the wisdom of God We go not in our strength, but in hit strength. * . » (Copyright by the Interaatiouai Council o Religious Education on behalf of 40 Ptotestan denominations.

Groundhog Com mittee Reports On Monday morning, Feb. 2nd the groundhog committee gather ed at Sheffield to meet and con fer with the little weather prophet and try to see what could be done about this awful weather we have been afflicted with. Just as the first sign of day ap peared, Johnny Smith and Pink Gaither were sent down to his hole on the hillside to escort him up to the meeting. Applause thundered through the tree tops as they appeared in sight, with the little hoggie between them. The meeting was called to or der by the chairman, W. L. Gaith er, and the groundhog called up on to make a speech. He said he appreciated the kindness shown him by the good folks of the Sheffield community and he hop ed that he would be able to stay out and do something about this terrible weather he found when he came out. He said if he stayed out he would do everything in his power to help bring down the high cost of coal, wood and every? thing else the working man to buy. The meeting was turned into a round-table discus sion. One of the committee want ed to know if ^Henry Wallace would be the next president. His hogship wanted to know if • Wal lace was the fellow who drowned the little hogs. He said he liked that man they called Tom Dewey. Just then the sun begun to shine and the little prophet said he would have to go back in his hole, but would be back in six weeks, and then he would do his best a- bout the weather, and to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. W. L. GAITHER, Ch’m. Groundhog Gommittee. An announcement of unusual interest and importance was t thusiastically received by the Ro- tatians of Mocksville, at their re gular meeting last Tuesday when the Public Relations Committee of the Club brought the good news of the coming to Davie of another large manufacturing plant. The Hanes Knitting Co., of Winston-Salem, has purchased a tract of more than 60 acres just outside of Mocksville, lying < the east side of the road leading from Mocksville to Comatzerand just across the road from Mrs. Mazie Bowles’ home. The mill will employ from 200 to 250 people, 60% woihen. They will manufacture men’s and boys’ underwear and sportswear. They will erect, as soon as possible, a most modem factory, with the very best working conditions for its employees. The officers look upon Davie County as their old home, their forbears having lived here before moving to Winston, and they are happy over the thought of com ing back. We assure them of a hearty welcome ftom the entire citizenship of Davie County. We say again, as we’ve said hundreds of times before,.. “Watch Mocks ville Grow.” •* The Record wishes to thank R. B. Sanford for giving us the in formation about the new mill. 1 Funeral services for James E.

Dear Sir: For the luwamike will you do something about curbing the issue of postage stamps or at least get ting them down to a size so a. cus tomer will know when he is buying a three-cent stamp and when he is buying a roll of wall paper, a plas tic storm-shutter or a blow-out patch? ♦ I see where a new one is coming out in a few days called the Sutter Gold Discovery stamp, which will be another one a little too big to lift. This on the heels of something called the “Everglades National Park Three” which was about as weird a looking thing to put on a letter that I ever saw. It was too big for any letter I would ever WTite and rich stomach-ache green. This Sutter stamp, I see, will be deep purple and certainly no small er. From the pictures of it in the papers I would think it about the • size of an old Currier and Ives print, only it has more stuff on it than Currier and Ives would have at tempted. *_ It looks like a summer resort souvenir postal of the type the boosters club would get up and more words than you would find on any thing but a billposter for a cigarette or liver pill. In big letters like you would find on a yellow newspaper extra proclaiming . a Third World War it says: CALIFORNIA GOLD CENTENNIAL Sutter’s Mill, Coloma Where James W. Marshall Discovery Started the Rush of Argonauts 1848 U- S. POSTAGE 1948 •_ What is happening among the fel lows who design, authorize and print postage stamps in this country to day? Is it being done by a lot of refugees from advertisement agen cies, experimental lithograph shops and some organization dedicated to Ignoring the paper shortage? Has anybody who is a designer of whiskey labels got a hand in this business? *_ How does Washington reconcile this unnecessary use of paper, mu cilage, dyes and inks with its non stop economy drives and “Don’t Waste” campaigns? Huh? *_ I had a letter the other day that required three three-centers, an air mail and a special, and I had to splice two envelopes together in or der to find room for them. Is that right? *_ Maybe you are concentrating on making life exciting for stamp col lectors or just having good clean fun, I wouldn’t know. But you are making life miserable for the peo ple who mail letters and just want a simple stamp, not a curio, a kidney plaster or a synthetic In dian blanket. Have a heart, Elmer.

(See recipes below.) m Eggs A-Plenty! “My family simply refuses to eat eggs, and I don’t'know how to work them into my menus,” says many a housewife who is trying desper ately to give each member of her family “the egg a day” that nutritionists rec ommend. Today, we’re devoting the col umn to recipes which are rich in eggs. For the families who refuse to eat eggs as such, there are many ways of dis guising them. Instead of poached eggs for breakfast, serve a Dutch pancake, for example, and see how well received it is; use batter bread for lunch, and serve a vegetable custard for dinner. Isn’t it easy? Dutch Pancake. (Serves 4) 4 eggs 44 cup sifted flour % teaspoon salt V i cup milk 2 tablespoons soft butter . Confectioners’ sugar Jam Beat the eggs. Sift flour and salt together and add to eggs alternate ly with milk to make a smooth batter. Spread butter over the bot tom and sides of a cold frying pan. Pour in batter and place in a hot (400 degrees) oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, reducing heat gradually to moderate (350 degrees) during the baking.' Pancake should puff at the sides and be crisp, and brown. Sprin kle with confectioners* sugar and spread with jam. Roll like an ome let. Serve on hot platter at once. Batter Bread. 3 eggs I cup buttermilk 1 cup sweet milk % cup fine white commeal 2 teaspoons baking powder 14 teaspoon baking soda Vi teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons melted butter or shortening Set baking pan in oven to heat. Beat eggs, add buttermilk and sweet milk, beat well and add dry ingredients sifted together, then the butter. Grease heated pan, pour in batter and bake in a hot oven (400 degrees) until set in center, about one hour. Serve at once. There was a number of vegetables which are enhanced if they are made with an egg mixture and baked. Why not try one of these when adding eggs to the diet as well as your vege table? Corn Custard.

Which one he uses will de pend on his preference or the avail ability of remedies, according to Washington State college. Whatever method is used, birds should be examined 10 days to two weeks after treatment to see if any lice still are present. Louse eggs are not always de stroyed by tiie treatment used, and these will hatch later. A second Mass of body-louse eggs at tached to feathers. (treatment usually is necessary and should be applied about two weeks after the first treatment. One method is to fumigate with a 40 per cent nicotine sulfate solution, In this case directions of the manu facturer should be followed. luce powder also is effective. These may be DDT, nicotine sulfats or commercial sodium fluoride or sodium fluosilicate. These may be applied by the pinch method. It con sists of placing on the skin of each fowl about 10 pinches, rubbing into the breast, each thigh, below the rent, on each side of the back, on (he neck and head and on the under side of each outspread wing. The fowls also may be dusted, sprayed with dusting m aterial or dipped in a solution. In some parts of the coun try louse ointments are widely used. Corn Production Many things are required to pro duce 100 bushels of com per acre. The growing crop must have plenty of nitrogen, phosphate, potash and other plant nutrients. A shortage of any will hold down yields and lower the quality and feeding value of the crop. So the use of fertilizer is Vitalv For high com yields, the soil must store water for drouth periods. The accompanying chart shows how much of these it takes to produce 100 bushels of com. Organic matter is especially important. While not a FOR 100 BU5HEL5 OF CORN TH E SOIL MUST D E L IV E R - 5 MILLION 10» 00 WffTCO129 LM«010» Nitrogen, phosphate and potash are the most important plant nu trients for growing corn. plant food, it is essential to crop production. Organic m atter im proves tilth and keeps the soil loose and open. It is a sponge that soaks up water readily for crops to “drink” in dry spells. It allows air to reach roots and soil bacteria. Or ganic m atter can be built up by growing deep-rooted legumes Mid grasses frequently in the rotation. To get good stands, liming based on soil tests and a generous feeding of phosphate and potash are needed. Organic m atter can be replenished, too, by returning barnyard manure, straw and com stalks to the land. When plant food, good tilth, organic m atter and other soil conservation measures are combined into a team, maximum com production per acre is assured.

Tliat is the extent to which we have al lowed activities of the government to grow. Perhaps, as a nation, we can see that the business of govern- , ment has expanded. But when we ; get to looking at the books, the chances are we find a good deal more mushrooming than we imag ined. Look at this another way. If you may be considered an average person, you pay taxes at the same rate as if your employer paid you no wages ten days out of each month, but instead paid the check over to the government. This comes Irom the fact that right now fed eral, state, and local taxes consume about one-third of all the dollars earned in the United States. That’s a burden on our necks that merits attention. You Are Sharing Now don’t think you can get out. of this by pleading innocent. You’re just a wage earner, you say? Not a high-bracket man who turns over three-fourths of his net income to the government? Sure, you know the take is high, but you say he’s the man who does the squawking? Listen. While you may not be pay ing directly your ten days wages to the government, you’re paying just the same. The bill is made out every fiscal year, and you are helping to pay it. Where does all this money go, you osk? Of course, we have a lot of expenditures in government, be sides paying salaries and other kinds of allowances to individuals. Yet, one out of every eight work ers in America in 1939 drew his salary from the government. Leav ing the city and the state govern ments out of the picture, it is esti mated that one out of every eight persons in the country is on the fed eral payroll right now, in one form or another. Stand eight average people togeth er—one of them gets a check regu larly from Uncle Sain! Amazing, Isn’t it? And remember, you are footing the bill. This includes civil ian employees, those receiving old age assistance, veterans, dependents of veterans, those in the army, navy and coast guard. This is a total of more than 16 million people re ceiving monthly checks from the United States government. Need For Policy This means that every seven per sons must supply a check for the eighth each month. It is indeed a difficult task to decide where we’d like to start cutting. But we must, or our nation is in definite danger. If we do not, we shall be in the position of the Roman Empire, which lasted only little more than 400 years. Rome had too many folks on her payroll. She was soon dust. Historians are saying America hcs already begun to decline. I will not agree with this viewpoint, provided we come to our senses. It is not easy to say: “Whoa!” It is difficult to get out from under tax burdens once they’re yoked Uimn us. But we must adopt a def inite policy of reducing government expenditures. We must set free our industry, and investment capital as well, from the over-burden of taxes We must have genuine prosperity. And when we keep asking the gov ernment to spend, let us remem ber that power-out-of-purse is soon power-out-of-hand. It’s an easy but *ure way to national ruin. Uncle Sam Says i “What’s in it for me?” Any time Sou buy something or invest money I something you should ask this tuestion and get a gilt-edge answer, opposing a U. S. Savings Bond could talk—it would say: “Here’s what’s in it for yon.

The hull is carved. The Supermite motor is driven by one or two Eveready flashlight batteries. First, lay out full-size patterns of S the hull (Figures I and 2) The hull j is built in three “lifts." The two j upper lifts are to be cemented to- ■ gether to form the removable' deck j section. The lower lift forms the ac- i tual hull. Figure 3 shows how the j lifts are assembled. Pin them together I temporarily and carve the outside to • shape. Figure 3 shows a typical section through the hull. After shaping the outside, separate the pieces and hollow out the upper and lower lifts. Cement the two lower lifts together and, when they are dry, hollow out ; No. 2 Uft to conform with lift No. 3. i Put in the motor block and the I battery clips and St the switch as i shown in Figure 4 In making the : connections, allow enough wire so I that the deck portion can he- raised 5 to replace batteries. Put in the pro peller shaft housing. This may be any piece of metal tubing of just the right tfze to allow any easy fit for the shaft. Make the propeller as shown in Figs. 4 and S and mount it on the shaft with cement. Hook up the propeller shaft to the motor shaft with a short length of plastic or rubber tubing. Next cut out the fin and press it into the bottom just ahead of the step station. Later it can be cemented in place; but first sand down the entire hull with very fine sandpaper. Give the whole works a coat of sanding sealer (costs IOtf> and sand down again. The paint job is up to tlie buiidei. Masking-out lines are indicated for a two-tone desk paint job; but this is not essential. Nor is the motor hood or canopy, also indicated; but this detail improves the appearance of the boat and seals it against water damage to the batteries. Check any ten dency to turn off course by bending the fin as needed and. let her go. Sincerely yours. 3 > < u tf H a ifa Simple Insliuclians Based on Scicnce 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 ©, 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 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 jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined line 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 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.

Tbe material things of this world cannot satisfy the soul anyway, neither can rich es pay one’s wav into heaven, No, never, NEVER. A righteons man can take a lit tle and do more good with it than wicked men who have great pos sessions. The righteous man can pray God’s blessings Ujion what he gives to the world, and God wii< honor and bless it to the good of mankind in a wonderful way. The wicked mav give much materially to the world, but certainly he can’t pray God’s approval and blessings upon it. We are made to woud< r how wicked men sometimes curse the world tn order to get their riches, and then try to help the world by giving them back, This is indeed very inconsistent. Tbr harm thev do their fellowmeu in getting their wealth will far out weigh and overbalance the good thev may do by turning theit means back into schools, churches and religions work, God places righ’eonsness far a bove the riches of sinful men!

Sunday Sabbath Jesus bought three ordinances for specific purposes becauseChris- tianity is built and based on the life and teachings of Tesus. 1st. Baptism by precept and ex ample; to fulfill all righteousness, commemorate His resurrection. Men may obey the command. 2nd. The commnnion service. It stands on just as strong a foun dation as baptism. Jesus officiat ed at the firsts service. He said, “I have given you an example that you may do as I have done. As oft as you eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death until He comes. 3rd. Ordinance was the new way of dealirig with sin, the real Lamb to which the scripture had pointed, had arrived. The sanc tuary services changed. Jesus is the Lamb slain from the founda tion of the world. Minister of the sanctuary and true tabernacle which the Lord picked and not man. His will is written in the four gospels and no man may add thereto. Nothing is said about a change of Sabbath from the sev enth day to the first day. The importance attached to the first day, of the week is of man and not of God. The Sabbath of the 4th commandment stands or falls with the rest of the ten command ments. “For whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point is guilty of all. Breth ren, I speak after the manner of men, though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed no man disannulleth or addeth thereto.” The Holy Ghost was to teach all things and to briug tue mem ory die things taught, not to add to or change. A testament is of force after the testator has died. His death is what gives it force. Just so the last will of Christ that His servants practice baptism and communion and enter into the new way of handling sin, must be expressed before Christ’s death, and be sealed with His own blood. His death would put His will in force, and so obviously the. will of Christ had to be carefully de scribed during His lifetime. His death then sealed it and became an obligation on His followers to carry it out faithfully. JAMES P. BURTON, Hickory, N. C.

The radio in my jalopy was tuned in on Tom O’Neill, my favorite voice of the year. I was lis tening to The Songshop Hour when the sharp blast of a whistle brought me down to this too, too solid earth. I’d driven straight through a red light. As a big, burly traffic cop swag gered over to my battered coupe, m y knees shook. I had a deep re spect for law and order. “What’s the big idea, sister?” he bellowed. "I’m sorry, officer, I said meekly. “I was late for school.” “Better be late than sorry,” he said in an altogether different voice as he caught O’Neill’s lush rendition of "Irresistible You.” He jerked his head and smiled at the radio. “You know, that guy’s not bad.” “He’s simply super,” I gurgled. “He makes me all goose-pimply." The blue eyes of the law flickered, then fell on the volume of Popular Melodies on the seat beside me. “Music! What do you do for a living?” “Piano teacher,” I replied, “at Miss Follens Day School.” I gave him a wan smile. He pushed back his cap and wiped the moist, blond ringlets plastered to his brow. “Ever do any radio work?” That made me wince. “I just wish I had a dollar for every audition I've had.” "Pull over,” he ordered. I obeyed with alacrity. At the curb I became voluble. Anything to stave off a ticket. I told him that radio was a snare and delusion for any ambitious young girl. I’d got no where, “Sorry, we have our own staff accompanist. . . . Sorry, noth ing right now, but if you’ll leave your name—” He grinned, and it was like a burst of sunshine. He leaned against my car, looking at me as if I were a crossword puzzle. “Say, how about dinner tonight?” You could have knocked me over with a feather. “Why, I don’t be lieve—” ! began primly. “You see—” If he thought I was a girl who could be picked up, even by a police man . . .” “Okay, sister,” he grunted. “I get it.” Then his voice became official again. “Well, I’ll let you off this time.” “Thank you, officer,” I said. “But don’t let it happen again. Remember, I'm keeping my eye on you.” I looked at my watch: 8:45. I’d never make it by nine. Not when I had to pick up that daily cargo of seven squirming kids and convoy them to the red brick building that was my prison five days a week. I sighed. Art is long and life is short, and didn’t I know it. I’d probably go on teaching sassy brats five-finger exercises until the grave yawned. Especially now that Charlie had gone international on me. Corporal Charles Brent, No. I heel! When I got his bombshell of a letter two months ago, telling me cooly he’d fallen for one of those Aussies, I kissed all hope goodbye of every marrying an artist. Charlie played the bassoon before the Army made him play the bazooka. Until today I thought he’d broken my heart. But that night in bed, when I tried to picture him, all I could see were a pair of sky-blue eyes, strong white teeth, and moist, blond ringlets under a policeman’s cap. I felt a twinge of remorse at having snubbed him. What if he was just a traffic cop? Maybe something could still be done about it. “But don’t let it happen again. Remember, I’m keeping my eye on you.” Next morning I wore my new Easter bonnet, a pink, flyaway con fection. On my radio O’Neill was giving deliriously with “Time Waits for No One.” My heart went boomp as I approached the crossing on Broadway. There stood my nice giant in a shaft of sunlight. I drove straight through the red light. At the blast of that tin whistle I jammed on the brake. He sauntered oyer, twirl ing his shiny toy. “Well, sister,” he said sternly, “if you’re gonna make it a habit, I have to take steps. Let’s see your li cense.” I looked at him in sheer dismay. O’Neill went crooning on, but my traffic cop seemed deaf this morn ing. “Make it snappy.” So I fumbled in my imitation alligator bag and fished out the license folder. “Beryl Thompson,” he read, and took down the number, name and address, handed it to me. “Here you are.” “You conceited goon,” I told my self hotly, watching his broad back. “Serves you right.” The low ceiling depression that hung over me all that day was lifted at 5:35 when I got back to my room and found a message to call Mr. Burnham at the radio station. I flew to the hall phone. “Be at the studio tomorrow night at 6:30 sharp,” he said over the phone. The next day I was on hand long before six. “It’s a transcription pro gram,” Mr. Burnham explained. “Miss Miles, the studio accompa nist, is out sick, and her substitute’s having a baby.” “What’s the program, Mr. Burn ham?” “The Songshop Hour. Studio B. Here’s the music. You’ll have plenty of time to run through it before O’Neill gets here.” “O’Neill? But he broadcasts mornings, doesn’t he?” “He records at 6 the night be fore.” A S THE green baize door of Studio * * B closed soundlessly behind me, I felt like turning cartwheels. A little before 6:30 a familiar voice broke up my practicing. “Hello, sister!” I looked up, and my fingers began to prickle. There was my traffic copr bareheaded and in shirtsleeves. “Pardon the attire,” he said with mock politeness.

YOU Try to Remember Grace Noll Crowell (//' PONSIDER your heartache of the past, the pain You may have thought could never be relieved; Recall some ancient sorrow that had lam For long upon you—could you have believed You would forget it as you have? Ahl no. We are so blind along the road we go! Our eye* are holden and we cannot see This grief wiD fade, this hurt will be as naught; -This sorrow pass away—the peace we sought Will rest upon us and we will be glad, Forgetting all the sorrow we have had. TrytoThatitremember. Hearts, when grief is so ss, as it has passed before. A man who was my friend is gone. He was a man everyone loved. He couid go into any com pany and inside of five minutes win every person in that company as his friend. His genius was the genius for expressing his warm and friend ly personality. Last night when I was thinking over our friendship for each other and trying to analyze to see if I could discover the true secret of his gift, I hit upon something that hadn’t ever occurred to me before. His genius was the genius of knowing how to admire. I’ve never known anyone who was so filled with admiration and enthu siasm for everything in the wide world as he was. About things that you and I take for granted, he went into, raptures. In the lowliest and meanest of lives he saw qualities to praise. Yes, I’m sure his genius was the genius for admiration and that that was what made him liked and popular and happy, for you know what I am telling you, that he was a happy man. How could he be otherwise when he found all the world and its contents infinitely beautiful and ex citing? As I was thinking about him last night I couldn’t help comparing him —contrasting him rather—with an other friend. In his friends this other friend of mine finds nothing to ad mire, absolutely nothing. He attacks everything: The institutions which men have founded are grounded on stupidity. The heads of our govern ment are crooks. Is he happy? You know he is not. I think it probably is easier to ba like the second man I have told you about than the first, for it seems to be one of the traits of human nature to like to find fault rather than to find things that are good. Yet I am convinced that anyone, with a little practice and attention to the job, can acquire part of the genius of the man I started telling you about in this little article—the man who had the genius for admira tion. Just as an experiment suppose for one day only you do not criticize anything or anybody. Look for something to admire and praise. It you look hard enough for something to praise, you can find it, but S you don’t find it right off, don’t say a word of criticism—just keep still if you can’t praise. It’s amazing the effect this has on your life and on your outlook on the world. Ojie man to whom I gave this ad vice a short time ago said it was like going out into the sunlight after leaving a darkened room when he began to see the world as an ad m irer rather than as a fault-finder. Consider that an experiment of IOiis kind will take just one day of your time and not cost one centi Don’t you think it’s worthwhile?

Christian Fellowship Lesson for February 22, 1918 Dr. Newton EORGE WASHINGTON was a splendid example of Christian fellowship. If you will travel through the older portion of the United States, particularly in Virginia, you will come upon numer ous instances of ch u rch pew s marked as follows, “George Washing-1 ton worshipped in this pew on blank date.” Evidently, it was his custom to attend public wor ship in whatever community he spent the Lord’s ' day. Thus he entered into Christian fel lowship, gaining a blessing arid ren dering a blessing. The lesson passage for Sunday is found in Acts 2:37-47 and Ephesians 4:1-6, with several other passages which will be quoted before we fin ish the column for this week. A HAPPY TIME IN CHVRCH OEAD Acts 2:41-47, and you will find a picture of a group of very happy people. Think of it, three’ thousand people professing faith in Jesus and receiving baptism in one' day! But read on—they were not only happy at church, but they were happy because they were in the church. They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teachings and fel lowship and breaking of bread and prayer. They praised God and had favor with all the people. By their daily living they were convincing the world that fellowship in Christ is not only good on Sunday while we are at the meeting house, bat good every day. The happy homes are the homes where Christian fellowship abounds, and it is equally true in every area of life. AT CHURCH WITH FRIENDS " I w a s g la d w h e n th e y sa id u n to m e , L e t u s g o u n to th e h o u s e o f th e L o rd ," P sa lm 122:1. r PHAT is poetry, you will agree, but it is also actual testimony not only of the Psalmist, but of, countless junior boys and girls throughout our land who eagerly await the sound of the church bells. Boys and girls delight to go to Sun day school and worship when the. life of the church is pervaded with Christian fellowship. There they meet the finest boys and girls in the community. BELONGING TO THE CHURCH fTPHE passage in Acts 2:37-47 tells; us how certain people, after hearing the great sermon by Peter, asked how they might be saved. He told them: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” When we invite intermediate friends to attend Sunday school and worship services with ns, and they come to know of the love of God, they, too, will want to be saved. It is then the high privilege of Christian boys and girls to lead their friends ' to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour, and come into the church. In Ephesians 4:4-6, we read these words: “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in a ll” ALL ONE IN CHRIST THE above passage from Ephe sians teaches clearly that there is a brotherhood of man, real and abiding, when we accept the Father hood of God, through Jesus Christ. This is the meaning of the church. No amount of man-made creeds can save us. No amount of ritual and ceremony can save us. We are saved by grace through faith, and that is the gift of God. When we re pent of our sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, we are saved, and not until then. The one adequate solvent for the crying needs of this frightened world is the grace of the Lord Jesas Christ. Jnst as thousands were saved on Pentecost and. again on the Lord’s Day when Peter preached in Solomon’s porch, so today many may be saved where the Gospel is pro claimed in its simplicity and power. We are one in Christ, of every race and every tongue. The fellow ship of Christian faith transcends every barrier — racial, economic, geographic, political, religious. We have but to proclaim the universal ity of this good news—proclaim it in our words and proclaim it in our daily lives. The world waits wist fully for the encompassing fellow ship that is in .Christ and in Christ: alone.• • * (Copyright by the IaternationaJ Council ol Religious Educatiou on behalf of 40 Protostaat denominations.

N. C. n IPhiHipr DISTURBANCE CLEARED UP A skipper, completing a trii across the Atlantic the other day, reported 40-foot waves rising from a smooth sea, with no wind, storm or whitecaps. There were no under standable explanations. The ship was tossed all over the lot In a dead calm, something never before no ticed in his 35 years at sea. • "I went to work on the mystery promptly," said Dr. Elmer Twitch- ell, the distinguished scientist, ma rine authority and gin rummy expert, ‘‘and considered the violent disturbance on a calm sea from all angles. A number of things could have caused it. ♦ "I figured that possibly Harry Tru man, General Graham and Ed Pan- ley had been out on the presidential yacht debating the broad subject of ethics, but there was nothing in that. * “There was the possibility that the disturbance could have been caused by somebody discovering eggs at 60 cents a dozen along the seaboard. Another fellow thought that 40-foot waves could be caused by a man ordering an auto and get ting it immediately with no bonus. * “I considered the possibility Oiat President Trnman had allowed him self to be photographed in a grave moment without smiling. This led to a theory that this'tremendous dis turbance at sea could have been the result of Margaret Truman tackling, an opera role too deep for her in the first place. That proved untrue.• • - "I considered the idea that Lujack had missed a forward pass, that a day had passed with no marital news among the Topping boys and •that Henry Wallace had said ‘I don’t know’ to some complicated interna tional problem. •_ . “Then it dawned on me.

Then what happened that we have got to rescue it all over again?” “We forgot to save boxtops or . sumpin’.” “When you win a war don’t you come out ahead?” “Who said so?” “Napoleon.” “What did he know about war, He didn’t even have lend-lease, Quebec conference or ERP.” “But he was an expert on war.” “Phooey. He didn’t even know about interim aid, V. N. or what is called a deteriorating situation.” . » "Popper, when we won the war at Trenton from the British didn’t that settle everything? Did we have to lend billions to the British and Hessians to make it good?” “We have progressed, my son. To day we have got things to a point where nothing turns out according to the book.

Young Farmer Has Chance to Start Knowledge and Training Essential for Success More than the usual number ol places are available for yotmg men to get started in farming m 1948, according to Prof. C. A, Bratton of Cornell university. Many farmers are ready to turn their farms over to young men, or are looking for a young man to work for wages on a profit-sharing basis. Farming in the years ahead, ac cording to Bratton, will provide a good living for the young man who is well trained, properly financed and located on good lands. Educa tion and experience will be even more important for farming in the future than it has been in the past. Starting farming in a period of in flated prices requires caution. Un usually high prices for livestock and machinery and high land values make it important to start without heavy indebtedness. Working as a Time and again 4-H club mem bers have proved that their train ing well fits them to successfully operate farm s of their own. hired m an in a farm partnership or share renting are ways a young man with limited capital can be come established without a heavy debt load.

Pasture Makes Cheap Dairy and Stock Feed Pasture is the cheapest and best feed your dairy and m eat animals can get, declares the Middle West Soil Improvement committee. Not only will it save scarce feed grains, but also it will cut production costs and step up the milk and meat out put. However, ,the soil must be fed to get a good stand of legumes and grasses. Legumes are heavy “eat ers” of phosphorus and potash, re quiring plenty of plant food. Lim ing, based on soil tests, use of manure and the return of crop after maths to the soil are other essen, tials. Posthole Digger This posthole digger was built by Clyde Hall, Bradford, HI. He says it will put a nine-inch hole down three feet In Illinois sell in three minutes. It was built of heavy materials in his farm shop and required some large welds. A car differential provides a way to use tractor power to dig postholes. Marketing Lighter Hogs Stretches Feed Supply . By marketing their hogs at just one pound lighter weight, hog men over the country could conserve about seven million bushels of grain, says Wisconsin College of Agricul ture. Marketing hogs at lighter weights is one of the best ways to stretch the feed supply. Hogs mar- kete’d before they weigh 230-240 pounds usually require less feed to put on a pound of gain than hogs fed to heavier weight.

The radio in my jalopy was tuned in on Tom O’Neill, my favorite voice of the year. I was lis tening to The Songshop Hour when the sharp blast of a whistle brought me down to this too, too solid earth. I’d driven straight through a red light. As a big, burly traffic cop swag gered over to my battered coupe, my knees shook. I had a deep re spect for law and order. “What’s the big idea, sister?” he bellowed. “I’m sorry, officer, I said meekly. “I was late for school.” “Better be late than sorry,” he- said in an altogether different voice as he caught O’Neill’s lush rendition of "Irresistible You.” He jerked his- head and-smiled at the radio. “You know, that guy’s not bad.” “He’s simply super,” I gurgled. “He makes me all goose-pimply.” The blue eyes of the law flickered, then fell on the volume of Popular Melodies on the seat beside me. “Music! What do you do for a living?” “Piano teacher,” I replied, “at Miss Follens Day School.” I gave him a wan smile. He pushed back his cap and wiped the moist, blond ringlets plastered to his brow. “Ever do any radio work?” That made me wince. "I just wish r had a dollar for every audition I’ve had.” “Pull over,” he ordered. I obeyed with alacrity. At the curb I became voluble. Anything to stave off a ticket. I told him that radio was a snare and delusion for any ambitious young girl. I’d got no where, “Sorry, we have our own staff accompanist. . . . Sorry, noth ing right now, but if you’ll leave your name—” He grinned, and it was like a burst of sunshine. He leaned against my car, looking at me as if I were a crossword puzzle. “Say, how about dinner tonight?” You could have knocked me over with a feather. “Why, I don’t be lieve—” ! began primly. “You see—” If he thought I was a girl who could be picked up, even by a police man . . .” “Okay, sister,” he grunted. “I get it.” Then his voice became official again. “Well, I’ll let you off this time.” “Thank you, officer,” I said. “But don't let it happen again. Remember, I’m keeping my eye on you.”I looked at my watch: 8:45. I’d never make it by nine. Not when I had to pick up that daily cargo of seven squirming kids and convoy them to the red brick building that was my prison five days a week. I sighed. Art is long and life is short, and didn’t I know it. I’d probably go on teaching sassy brats five-finger exercises until the grave yawned. Especially now that Charlie had gone international on me. Corporal Charles Brent, No. I heel! When I got his bombshell of a letter two months ago, telling me cooly he’d fallen for one of those ’Aussies, I kissed all hope goodbye of every marrying an artist. Charlie played the bassoon before the Army made him play the bazooka. Until today I thought he’d broken my heart. But that night in bed, when I tried to picture him, all I could see were a pair of sky-blue eyes, strong white teeth, and moist, blond ringlets under a policeman’s cap. I felt a twinge of remorse at having snubbed him. What if he was just a traffic cop? Maybe something could still be done about it. “But don’t let It happen again. Remember, . I’m keeping my eye on you.” Next morning I wore my new Easter bonnet, a pink, flyaway con fection. On my radio O’Neill was giving deliriously with “Time Waits for No One.” My heart went boomp as I approached the crossing on Broadway. There stood my nice giant in a shaft of sunlight. I drove straight through the red light. At the blast of that tin whistle I jammed on the brake. He sauntered over, twirl ing his shiny toy. “Well, sister,” he said sternly, “if you’re gonna make it a habit, I have to take steps. Let’s see your li cense.” I looked at him in sheer dismay. O'Neill went crooning on, but my traffic cop seemed deaf this morn ing. “Make it snappy.” So I fumbled in my imitation alligator bag and fished out the license folder. “Beryl Thompson,” he read, and took down the number, name and address, handed it to me. “Here you are.” “You conceited goon,” I told my self hotly, watching his broad back. “Serves you right.” The low ceiling depression that hung over me all that day was lifted at 5:35 when I got back to my room and found a message to call Mr. Burnham at the radio station. I flew to the hall phone. “Be at the studio tomorrow night at 6:30 sharp,” he said over the phone. The next day I was on hand long before six. “It’s a transcription pro gram,” Mr. Burnham explained. “Miss Miles, the studio accompa nist, is out sick, and her substitute’s having a baby.” “What’s the program, Mr. Burn ham?” “The Songshop Hour. Studio B. Here’s the music. You’ll have plenty of time to run through it before O’Neill gets here.” “O’Neill? But he broadcasts mornings, doesn’t he?” “He records at 6 the night be fore.” AS THE green baize door of Studio B closed soundlessly behind me, I felt like turning cartwheels. A little before 6:30 a familiar voice broke up my practicing. “Hello, sister!” I looked up, and my fingers began to prickle. There was my traffic cop, bareheaded and in shirtsleeves. “Pardon the attire,” he said with mock politeness. “I’m not' supposed to wear my coat off duty.” “Are you Tom O’Neill?” “Professionally speaking,- yes.” He came over and began polishing with his hand the badge on his blue Tiy To Remember & Grace Noll Crowell y f t&I-TN Onnt m ______ I /CONSIDER your heartache of the past, the pain You may have thought could never be relieved; Recall some ancient sorrow that had lain For long upon you—could you have believed You would forget it as you have?

I told ’em it had to be that way, or else. If the boys down at the station knew I was a crooning canary, life wouldn’t be worth livin’.” I sat still, looking slightly ga-ga. “Say,” he said, his eyes twinkling, “that’s a fine reception, considering that I finagled you a radio job.” "You did?” I gasped. “But Mr. Burnham said—” He waved his big hand at me. “I know. When I heard about Miss Miles, I asked him to give you a try out.” He looked up at the clock. “Okay, beautiful. Let’s try that old number, 4Why Don’t You Fall in Love With Me?” I obeyed mechanically. As I said before, I have a deep respect for law and order. WHEN YOU ADMIRE YOU ARE HAPPY.* * * A man who was my friend is gone. He was a man everyone loved. He could go into any com pany and inside of five minutes win every person in that company as his friend. His genius was the genius for expressing his warm and friend ly personality. • Last night when I was thinking over our friendship for each other and trying to analyze to see if I could discover the true secret of his gift, I hit upon something that hadn’t ever occurred to me before. His genius was the genius of knowing how to admire. I’ve never known anyone who was so filled with admiration and enthu siasm for everything in the wide world as he was. About things that you and I take for granted, he went into raptures. In the lowliest and meanest of lives he saw qualities to praise. Yes, I’m sure his genius was the genius for admiration and that that was what made him liked and popular and happy, for you know what I am telling you, that he was a happy man. How could he be otherwise when he found all the world and its contents infinitely beautiful and ex citing? As I waS thinking about him last night I couldn’t help comparing him —contrasting him rather—with an other friend. In his friends this other friend of mine finds nothing to ad mire, absolutely nothing. He attacks everything: The institutions which men have founded are grounded on stupidity. The heads of our govern ment are crooks. Is he happy? You know he is not. I think it probably is easier to be like the second man I have told you about than the first, for it seems to be one of the traits of human nature to like to find fault rather than to find things that are good. Yet I am convinced that anyone, with a little practice and attention to the job, can acquire part of the genius of the man I started telling you about in this little article—the man who had the genius for admira tion. Just as an experiment suppose for one day only you do not criticize anything or anybody. Look for something to admire and praise. If you look hard enough fqr something to praise, you can find it, but if you don't find it right off, don't say a word of criticism—just keep stiU if you can’t praise. It’s amazing the effect this has on your life and on your outlook on the world. One man to whom I gave this ad vice a short time ago said it was like going out into the sunlight after leaving a darkened room when he began to see the world as an ad mirer rather than as a fault-finder. , Consider that an experiment of this kind will take just one day ol your time and not cost one cent; Don’t you think it’s worthwhile? I THE _ SPEMS -J (TffflBr International UnifomT-^BRfI Mllilin Sunday School Uggor., p BI By IOUtE P. NEWTON. D. P. SCRIPTURE:4:1-6.DEVOTIONAL 4:1-6, 11-13. Acts 2:37-47; READING: Ephesians Ephesians Christian Fellowship Lesson for February 22, 1948 Dr. Newton Q EORGE WASHINGTON was a splendid example of Christian fellowship. If you will travel through the older portion of the United States, particularly, in Virginia, you will come upon numer ous instances of c h u rch pew s marked as follows, "George Washing-- ton worshipped in this pew on blank date.” Evidently, it was his custom to attend public wor ship in whatever community he spent the Lord’s day. Thi^ he entered into Christian fel lowship, gaining a blessing and ren dering a blessing. The lesson passage for Sunday is found in Acts 2:37-47 and Ephesians 4:1-6, with several other passages which will be quoted before we fin ish the column for this week. A HAPPY TIME IN CHURCH I? EAD Acts 2:41-47, and you will i A- find a picture of a group of very happy people. Think of it, three' thousand people professing faith in Jesus and receiving baptism in one' day! But read on—they were not only happy at church, but they were happy because they were in the church. They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teachings and fel lowship and breaking of bread and prayer. Tbey praised God and had favor with all the people. By their daily living they were convincing the world that fellowship in Ciurist is not only good on Sunday while we are at the meeting house, but good every day. The happy homes are the homes where Christian fellowship abounds, and it is equally true in every area of life. „ AT CHURCH WITH FRIENDS " I w a s g la d w h e n th e y sa id u n to m e , L e t u s g o u n to th e h o u se o f th e L o r d ," P s a lm 122:1. jTaHAT is poetry, you will agree, but it is also actual testimony not only of the Psalmist, but of, countless junior boys and girls throughout our land who eagerly await the sound of the church bells. Boys and girls delight to go to Sun day school and worship when the, life of the church is pervaded with Christian fellowship. There they meet the finest boys and girls in the community. . BELONGING TO THE CHURCH jTaHE passage in Acts 2:37-47 tells; us how certain people, after hearing the great sermon by Peter, asked how they might be saved. He told them: “Repent, and be baptizud every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the.remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” When we invite intermediate friends to attend Sunday school and worship services with us, and they come to know of the love of God, they, too, will want to be saved. It is then the high privilege of Christian boys and girls to lead their friends to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour, and come into the church. In Ephesians 4:4-6, we read these words: 44There is one body and one' Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all.” ALL ONE IN CHRIST THE above passage from Ephe sians teaches clearly that there is a brotherhood of man, real and abiding, when we accept the Father hood of God, through Jesus Christ. This is the meaning of the church. No amount of man-made creeds can save us. No amount of ritual and ceremony can save us. We are saved by grace through faith, and that is the gift of God. When we re pent of bur sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, we are saved, and not until then. The one adequate solvent for' the crying needs of this frightened world is the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as thousands were saved on Pentecost and again on the Lord’s Day when Peter preached in Solomon’s porch, so today many may be saved where the Gospel is pro claimed in its simplicity and power. We are one in Christ, of every race and every tongue. The fellow ship of Christian faith transcends every barrier — racial,. ecopomic, geographic, political, religious. We have but to proclaim the universal ity of this good news—proclaim it in our words and proclaim it in our daily lives. The world waits wist fully for the encompassing fellow ship that is in Christ and in Christ alone. * * * CCopyrigtt by tie Iateraetioaal Coaacil ol Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protcstaat denominations.

C. UPhiHipr DISTURBANCE CLEARED UP A skipper, completing a tri) across the Atlantic the other day, reported 40-foot waves rising from a smooth sea, with no wind, storm or whitecaps. There were no under standable explanations. The ship was tossed all over the lot in a dead calm, something never before no ticed in his 35 years at sea. *_ “I went to work on the mystery promptly,” said Dr. Elm er Twitch- ell, the distinguished scientist, ma rine authority and gin rummy expert, “and considered the violent disturbance on a calm sea from all angles. A number of things could have caused it. * “I figured that possibly Harry Tru man, General Graham and Ed Pau ley had.been out on the presidential yacht debating the broad subject of ethics, but there was nothing in that. » . "There was the possibility that the disturbance could have been caused by somebody discovering eggs at 60 cents a dozen along the seaboard. Another fellow thought that 40-foot waves could be caused by a man ordering an auto and get ting it immediately with no bonus. * “I considered the possibility that President Truman had allowed him self to be photographed in a grave moment without smiling. This led to a theory that this tremendous dis turbance at sea could have been the result of M argaret Truman tackling an opera role too deep for her in the first place. That proved untrue. ._ " I considered the idea that Lujack had missed a forward pass, that a day had passed with no marital news among the Topping boys and that Henry Wallace had said 'I don’t know’ to some complicated interna, tional problem. • “Then it dawned on me. I put searchers to sea and they came in with the evidence in the form of a bottle tossed overboard. In it was the latest Pravda editorial. That did it.”• * * Father and Son Dialogue “Popper, is 39 billion dollars much?” “It always has been, but I wouldn’t want to be quoted on it today, son.” “Teacher says the President pro poses to spend that much in one year and that it’s a staggering sum.” “Your teacher staggers easily. But at that my opinion wouldn’t be any good. I got aU mixed about the value of money back in Roose velt’s first term and have never been able to figure things out since.” “Can a country really spend-that much money in one year, popper?” “It ain’t easy, my boy, but we can do it.” ._ “Popper, why must we send so many billions to Europe?” “We must help all countries to get out of a big hole.” “I thought we fought the war to get them out of a big hole.” “There is no telling about holes these days, son.” “Popper, our side won the war to save Europe, didn’t it? Then what happened that we have got to rescue it all over again?” “We forgot to save boxtops or sumpin’.”« . “When you win a war don’t you- come out ahead?” “Who said- so?” “Napoleon.” “What did he know about war, He didn't even have lend-lease, Qnebec conference or ERP.” "But he was an expert on war.” “Phooey. He didn’t even know about interim aid, U. N. or what is called a deteriorating situation.” ._ ‘ 'Popper, when we won Hie war at Trenton from the British didn’t that settle everything? Did we have to lend billions to the British and Hessians to make it good?” “We have progressed, my son. To. day we have got things to a point where nothing turns out according to the book.

Young Fanner Has Chance to Start Knowledge and Training Essential for Success More than the usual number of places are available for young men to get started in farming in 1948, according to Prof. C. A Bratton of Cornell university. Many farmers are ready to turn their farm s over to young men, or are looking for a young man to work for wages on a profit-sharing basis. Farming in the years ahead, ac cording to Bratton, will' provide a good living for the young man who is well trained, properly financed and located on good lands. Educa tion and experience will be even more important for farming in the future than it has been in the past. Starting farming in a period of in flated prices requires caution. Un usually high prices for livestock and machinery and high land values make it important to start without heavy indebtedness.

FEBRUARY IS, .948 GEORGE S. BEKSON President—Harding College Seerey. Arkansas For AU the People America, we sometimes say, is •made up of Fords and Frigidaires. Kodaks and Coca-Cola. We like brands and trade-marks. We respect the successful products of industry, and have confidence in them. We’re even likely to take these things for granted, without knowing the how or why behind them. America is the only land where initiative, enterprise, and competition have been allowed to work for the good of all the people. Yet, to view our industry as com prising a few great names and trade-marks only, is to have a con fused and off-balance picture. To think that manufacturers of goods we all like to buy—automobiles, for instance — are the “great monop oly” is to fail to see how big and how productive the nation really is. Neither General Motors, nor any of the others, could get by without their hundreds of helper factories that make everything from cotter-pins to hub-caps. Wliere the Supplies These helper factories are in turn supplied with parts and materials by hundreds of other firms. A supply line may even go back to a simple "alley shop,” where three or four men grind or polish a part. Or take a town like Worcester, Mass. The total wage bill there for workers in plants supplying the automotive in dustry was almost $40,000,000 in 1946. That’s a good sized payroll. Or take the whole parts industry, of which there are more than 1,00;' companies, with plants spread al- over America. Most of these park producers are small businesses, em ploying less than 500 workers each. Usually their origin may be traced to fertile minds that .invented and patented an idea for improving automobiles. Many newcomers are still getting into the parts and equip ment field. Under the American sys tem, this is possible. Each Has a Part Mistaken in their complaint about monopolies, in the next breath some folks berate the “machine age” for not offering the worker a chance to take pride in his work. Just putting in cotter-pins all day in the same old assembly-line position, they say, is poor substitute for craftsmanship. Kight here, I want to go on record as praising the free and responsible American who put the cotter-pins firmly and safely in the chassis of my automobile! He did a good job. I’ll give the average American worker the praise that is his due. He has the intelligence to see his place in our method of mass production cf goods for the use of everybody. Not so long ago, war workers were being told they were “right behind the man behind the gun.” Indeed, the lowliest assembly- line worker or file-clerk is a part of peace-time production. And it is this production that makes America the best land in the world in which to live. Yes, hundreds and sometimes thousands of suppliers and fabrica tors are the craftsmen behind the automobiles we drive, the radios we hear. As workers in a free America, we can never overlook the impor tance of the place we have behind the name tags on the products of our skill, As we work, and to the extent that w.e understand and depend upon that system, so shall we suc- *ceed in preserving American ways and liberties. ' Uncle Sam Says If you don’t mind blending romance and good business sense, Leap Year Day, February 29, offers the opportunity to take a look at the growth in value of United States Savings Bonds.For example, here is what happened to the value of Savings Bonds as measured by the Leap Years:$25 Savings Bond — 1940, $18.75, purchase price; 1914, $20.00 and1948, $23.00. $50 Savings Bond — 1940, $37.50, purchase price; 1944, $40.00 and1948, $46.00. $100 Savings Bond — 1940, $75.00, purchase price; 1944, $80.00 and1948, $92.00. Buy Savings Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan where youwork, or the Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank if you are self-em ployed. Watch your nest-egg grow, safely, surely, profitably. V, S.

Be sure to read ik BIBLE TODAY Uncle Sam Says __Ji ' Wage-Hour Fixing Thurman Sensing, who directs re search for the Southern States In dustrial Council, Nashville, Tenn., is a man who speaks with wisdom. Sometime ago Mr. Sensing released comments on our wage and hour law, in which ht predicted there would be continued agitation to fix minimum wages at high figures. I think it is true, as Mr. Sens’ng sug gests, that few people understand .the implications of wage and hour fixing by the government. Says Mr. Sensing: “The whole sys tem of democracy is directly op posed to any sort of planned econ omy. . . . Deny it though we may, the fixing of wages by legislative action can . be regarded as noth ing else than part and parcel of planned economy. If the government is allowed to assume the power to fix minimum wages and maximum hours, there is nothing to keep the government from reversing this process and fixing maximum wages and minimum hours.” With that democracy flies completely out the window, Mr. Sensing de clares. Beal Guarantee Everybody, he says, should have a living wage — or more — if he earns it. “But no one who believes in democracy will argue that a per son should have a certain wage whether he earns it or not. Produc tivity comes first, not wages. The only real guarantee behind a wage, in a democracy is the productivity of the person who receives the wage.” These words are so logical and the reasoning so plain that I would like to continue with Mr. Sensing’s comments. Suppose an employer couldn’t pay the minimum wages set up, and had to close down. There are two choices for the government; “either the business must be taken over . . . and workers paid without any reference to the earnings of the business; or the workers go on relief and are issued a dole at the expense of the general public.” False Promises The first would be state socialism, which the people of America. would never endorse willingly or knowing ly. "Socialism never has and never will bring the people a strong gov ernment and a high standard of liv ing.” Mr. Sensing cites state social ism in England: “Promising them greater production, it has brought decreased production; promising them a higher standard of living, it has brought them a lower stand ard of living; promising them happi ness, it has brought them misery.” Whence Prosperity? The other alternative, says Mr. Sensing, would bring a great body of unemployed. “They are unem ployed simply because the laws of the land have made it unprofitable for them to be employed. . . . They are living off the enterprise and pro ductivity of the rest of the people. Their incentive is dulled, their energy is stifled, their initiative is warped. They are drones in a free society.” When the drones are too numerous to be supported by the workers, Mr. Sensing continues, the government takes over and the society is no longer free. “If minimum wages fixed by the law are to make us prosperous, we might as well set the figure at one dollar per hour or two dollars per hour or five dollars per hour. . . . In a democracy the requirement must always be that the individual shall earn his wage, whether it be ten cents per hour or ten dollars per hour; moreover, that it shall be fixed by free enterprise in a competi tive economy. Our whole history has shown this to be tIie road to prosperi t y ’ Happy Laaor i?ay, mom and pop! Asathcr Savings Bond for the tim.e when dad retires.

Aeiansas Need for Unity The United Nations is a ' "mg organization. It was forme.' . boul two years ago and now comprises 5-r’ nations. During the past year, it is said, the different divisions have held a total of 1,911 meetings. The chief avowed purposes 'are to brinn peace to the world and' to prevent starvation as an affermsth of the war. Great sums of money have been used to provide food for peo ples that are cop^cered destitute. At first it was th'iUHht t’^at 1913 would be the critical year. IJow. we are approach :n<r w’’-*®*- of ton. Some reports sr.v there will be more hunger this winter ti’aa lact. From various counlr e- in the re ports show no improvement. Cer'j'.'n (Fr-'' ' ' -"s Xt would seem there is enough power and stren-Hii in 03 nations to help this mudd'-'i world pet some where. And sure'y enough money has been spent to help these hungry nations to begin fesdlnp themselves. The answer is not hard to fird. T’’e United Nations has not demon strated real unitv of purr-se. F tv t the leaders among the 55 have worked, at cross purposes. Each nation has been intent upon achieving certain objectives of its own. This is as true of the “Big Pour” as it is of the.smallpr nations. It is my nope tnai in some way the United Nations may find unity of purpose and intention. The most I can get out of this present situa tion, however, is an important les son for our own country. No Cross Purposes In America we have found a good measure of unity, historically speak ing. Though we are made up of states and other kinds of groups, we have shown appreciation for the same fundamentals of democratic living. What is true of the United Nations as a whole is true of nations individ ually. If we are going to continue to be a prosperous and healthy repub lic, we too must have unity of pur pose. Workers, managers, indus trialists, farmers, educators — we must all keep our purposes con trolled in the direction of full unity. If one group wants to destroy the capitalist, and another wants to de stroy labor unions, these are at cross purposes. If one group wants to eliminate private ownership of property, and another group wants to preserve Constitutional govern ment, these also are working at cross purposes. If we have every body working at cross purposes, then conditions in our country will grow worse rather than better. Three GcaIs It is imperative that the entire na tion be united on fundamentals. It is necessary that all groups work for certain goals. Right now, I would like to suggest three goals we can all achieve together. First, economy in government spending so rigid the public can see that money is being saved. Second, a program of maxi mum productivity that can attract the enthusiasm of capital, manage ment, labor, and agriculture. Third, a rededication of all our groups to preserve individual freedom for the entire nation. - With this kind of unity right now, in 1947, no one need fear for the future prosperity and well-being oi our nation. L O O JC IN G AHEAD GEORGE S. BENSON PresideHt-Hatdiif Cellege Seateg. Jhkansas Rule Book for Civilization Like thousands of other Ameri cans in 1941 I bought a new car. .I got an Oldsmobile. I am still us ing the car and getting good service out of it, and I believe I know why. A book of instructions came with it, and because I believed the nen- ple who made the car could tell ■ me a great deal about how to run !it, I studied that book carefully. I got excellent service from the automobile throughout the entire war, and am still using it. I believe that hapi:-... _i because I followed the instructions of those who made the Oldsmobile. Doi:. g that, I could expect to get good service. The whole idea seemed like good logic to me. May I sub m it an application for this home made parable? If this principle works with automobiles, it should have some merit when applied to things larger and more important. Will you follow me in this applica tion? Handbobh for Mortals _ The Bible is "the book of instruc tions from the Creator who made the world and the fullness thereof. It is the book containing the laws, rules, and advice that we mortals should read and study in order that we may know how to proceed. It is the instruction book on how to operate that part of the Creator’s handiwork with which we are in volved. Careful study of this instruc tion book will bring great dividends. I am glad to live in a land where a National Bible Week finds enthusi astic support. This year October 20 to 26 has been so designated. Did you know that twelve of the thir teen little colonies planted along the Atlantic seaboard were found ed by people who came to Amer ica seeking religious freedom? Their lives were guided and domi nated by the Bible. But perhaps even they did not visualize the kind of America to come—the America to come because of what they did. Bill of Freedoms Later, when our Constitution was framed, the men who wrote it were men who believed the Bible and who looked upon it as God’s “in struction book.” These men desired to maintain for their descendants, and for posterity, the kind of individual freedom which they be lieved the Creator had decreed for every Individual. To them, that was one of the instruction rules out of the book. That Constitution, when adonted and amended in 1789, carried with it the greatest bill of individual freedoms that any nation has ever enjoyed. Under these freedoms, America developed the greatest measure of well-being and prosper ity that any segment of mankind has ever developed on this earth. It may be said, without any doubt, that the freedoms and liberties which brought our prosperity grew directly ftom the religious !founda tion laid by our forefathers. I am glad to feel that we Ameri cans are so dedicated to the basic concepts of law and practice as they are found in the Bible. If we will look to God’s instruction book for guidance at all times in the future, making it our source book for living, then our future is secure. Onty in that way may America pre serve liberty and freedom — and even civilization, through the com ing decades and centuries.. niniim The Davie Record Has Been PubKshed Since 1899 48 Years Others have come and gone-your county newspaper keeps going.

Simple Instrcctions Basel •n Scieoce Von tn$y 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 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 liome got hungry and discontented tool 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 Maspn jar with porcelain-lined sine 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 instructions yon will find in reliable home canning lit erature such as the Ba]] Blue Book ■are based.

R4 Not long ago I visited a man in the hospital who killed his wife and then attempted suicide. It was a pitiful, awful, tragic affair. He bad spent many years of his life drinking and doping. Yon can almost always be sure that liquor figures in nearly every crime that is committed Such a crime as this, and such a wasted life, onght to turn tens of thousands of people against liquor, dope and the devil. Just bow anyone can vote for liqnor, manufacture, sell and drink it. knowing its cursed, dam- nable history, is indeed hard to un derstand. This wretched man told me that his life was a failure, and of course greatly regretted the crime he had committed, saving that his wife was a good woman To look upon a man like that, and to realize just what liquor, dope, sin and the devil had done for him, is enough to make every citizen of our coun trv hate liquor, sin and the devil, then turn unto God, live soberlv and righteously, and stand against all wickedness- We should real-, ize, once and forever, that because mnltitndes of people vote wet, live wickedly, and follow the wicked crowd, certaiuly doesn’t exalt our nation. Not in the least It ds grades and demoralizes, therefore brings upon millions of people heartache, suffering, wretchedness and damnation. How we need a mighty turning back to God, pro hibition. sobriety aud common sense! When a nation goes off on a wild spree in drunkenness we may be certain that there will be an awful penalty to pay. Those who live for the cursed. evils of the world are morally insane. Tliev certainlv need God. Not only do we realize that mnl titndes of people, both men aud women, are wasting their lives in drunkenness or halt drunke ness, bnt millions of others are so given over to the devil and sin until they never accomplish anything worth while in life T ey ek e' out an existence, and soon shall die and be forgotten, although the evil in fluence they wielded shall live af ter them to curse the world. It is indeed startling to think of wast ing one’s life in sin, then go into the presence of a just and hob God unprepared to meet Him A wasted life—that is more than wasted gold, yes, more than a wasted fonnne in dollars and cents. It is a life spent for the devil, whieh ts a curse, that ought to have been spent for God, which conld and would have been a bles. sing.

It’s such a pity to watch the people as they travel the roads to places of sin. Each day many are dying, going to hell simply because they are too fond of good times to find out about the one who died for them. Have you ever stopped to think what you would do if Christ should come? Could you face him with a smile and say, “Father, you are the one I’ve been living for,1 or would you have to hang your head in shame, too late to do any thing but wait for God to -say, "Depart from me, you didn’t have time to live for me.” Can’t you realize how it would hurt God to say to you, “Depart from me, I know you not.” Christ died for you arid for me. He was crucified on the cross be tween two criminals. The mob of ignorant people stood and mocked him. Yes, if he has ever spoken to your heart and you re fused, you have turned your back on Him, mocked Him and “I need you not.” We must all die, we must burst the bars of the grave and face God on judgment day. Are you prepared for this day? Are you ready to meet your loved ones and join them in siqging songs of praise around the throne of God? If you’re traveling the down ward road, the road to hell, won’t you stop now and turn back: get on the straight and narrow road. Yes, Christ shed his blood for you. He wants to carry your bur dens, no matter how heavy the load. Will His death mean any thing to you? [MISS[ PEARLENE BOOE, Mocksville, Route 2. Your neighbor reads The Record.

U Battle for Peace T X /-HEN Herbert Bayard Swope ' coined the phrase “cold war” for his friend Bernie Baruch, it was another way of saying that we have to fight to win the battle of peace. If we don’t we’ll find ourselves in a hot and bloody war. The trouble with fighting the bat tle of peace is that there are no trumpets, no parades, no uniforms. Yet in actual fact the urgency is just as great as when we are at war. And even though congress, as usual, lags behind the people, I am convinced that the majority of Americans have come to realize that we have' to continue the patri otic endeavors that attend war with out the killing that attends war. For the plain fact is that there is no easy road to peace. It is a Ions, stiff, rocky road. It costs almost as much in dollars and effort as does war. The chief difference is that it doesn’t have to cost lives. Looking at our possibilities'of fu ture war from the vantage point of recent trips through both Europe end the United States, the conclu sion of this observer is that war with Hussia can be avoided. It can be avoided if we are sm arter than they are, work harder than they do, and outmaneuver them in the battle for peace. To win this battle of peace, a four- point program, in the opinion of this observer, is necessary. Unfor tunately, until this battle is won, we can’t afford to relax our armed air strength. But meanwhile here is a militant program to win the peace: I The Marshall plan — whereby • Europe can recover economic stability. p A United States of Europe — “ • whereby Europe can recover political stability. This is just as essential as the Marshall plan, in fact more so. Because the Marshall plan is sure to fail unless Europe is given faith and hope—a new politi cal goal. 7 No depression in the U. S. — this is just as important as aid to Europe. For what the boys in the Kremlin want most is depression in the U. S., thereby giving them the chance to point a finger at the United States and say: “We told you so; capitalism will not work.! To prevent inflation and subsequent depression a lot of unpleasant things such as high taxes and price con trols will be necessary. A An American people’s'arm y foi ” • peace—this may sound idealis tic and visionary, but it isn't. It's surprising how many individual Americans already are working at the job of peace. White House Desk President Truman got quite a kick out of telling recent visi tors how the late President Roosevelt had put his famous, gadget-cluttered desk out of com mission by accidentally dropping a lighted match or cigaret into one of the drawers. The present desk, he explained is the original presidential flat- top, brought to the White House in 1902 by another Roosevelt— rough-riding Teddy Roosevelt. Behind Ike’s Withdrawal General Eisenhower had lunch with a group of brother officers about three weeks before he pulled his hat out of the presidential ring, at which time he told them that he was disgusted with politics, espe cially the Pennsylvania Republic ans, who “kissed and told” at~-the famous Curtis club dinner. That, he said, was why he was getting out oi the political race. This however, was not quite all of the story. The real fact Is that one man had most to do with Ike’s withdrawal. He is the man who put Eisenhower in top commander of the greatest military operation in American history—George C. Marshall. And behind Marshall to a consid e ra te extent was another man — Harry S. Truman. Marshall got an important assist from Gen. Omar Bradley—plus un expected assistance from the Penn sylvania Republicans and other pol iticians. Nevertheless, it was the secretary of state who did the mosl to take his colleague-in-arms out oi the political picture. Today, President Truman is smil ing broadly and saying privately that he knew all along Ike wasn't going to run. But that wasn’t the way he felt about it just before Christmas. Even before this, Truman had been so sore at George Alien for trying to boom Eisenhower, that h« fired his once-beloved court jestei right out of the White House. And last November, in a not-even- slightly-camouflaged attempt to pul the squeeze on Eisenhower, the President suddenly announced that he had appointed General Bradley as chief of staff. Finally White House strategists even cooked up the idea of having Secretary of State Marshall run foi vice president on the Truman ticke) —if Ike persisted in running. Twice-Told White House Tale Retold John Adams Hung Clothes On Limb, Swam in Potomac B y BAUKHAGE N e w s A n a ly st a n d C o m m e n ta to r. WASHINGTON.—At a recent press and radio conference, one of the reporters ribbed the President about the balcony he was building on the White House, which the Washington fine arts com mission objects to as destroying the architectural beauty of the building. Someone suggested he might conduct a “back porch” political cam paign from it. Mr. Truman came right back with the remark that it was a front porch. That, in a sense, is correct, for the southern facade of the White House originally was intended as the front of the building. Of late, the President has been1®----------:------------------------------------------ given to historical anecdotes—he’s BAUKHAGE a great student of American his tory — and this time he told us a story which I have heard be fore from presi dential lips anent the White House “front yard” of other days. In the time of Presi dent Adams, the story goes, a ca nal skirted the lowered edge of the grounds, and that gentleman was fond of slipping down to its' banks for a swim au naturel in the early morning hours. There was, in those days, said Mr. Truman, a certain female jour nalist who had been unable to get an interview with the President. So she slipped down to the canal bank at dawn, waited until he was im mersed, then sat on his clothes and stayed there until he answered her questions, decently draped in the waters. I repeated the story on the air as Mr. Truman told it, and in the next day’s mail received a letter from Daniel J. Kelly Jr., of South Bend, Ind., who is a collector of early historical newspapers. Wrote Mr. Kelly: “I enjoyed your reference in a recent broadcast to the newspaper woman who sat on President Adams’ clothes until he agreed to give her an interview. 'The President Adams was John Quincy Adams, and the woman newspaper reporter was Anne Roy- "■ However, the story does not con form to the facts, and you might mention this to President Truman next time the story is broughtthe up ‘John Quincy Adams was an ar dent and accomplished swimmer and he enjoyed a daily plunge into the Potomac even while President. He was also an ardent diarist, and his diary contains many a mention of his dips in the river. ‘Anne Royall was Adams’ Wash ington contemporary — a vicious writer and a malevolent journalist. Bi 1829 she was convicted of being a ‘common scold.’ Her first con tact with Adams was in 1824 when she called at the White House to de mand a pension as a Revolutionary war widow. Adams mentioned her in a very uncomplimentary manner in his diary. ★ ★ ★ ★ The Tithe That Binds “According to Adams’ diary . . . ‘She continues to make her self noxious to many persons; tolerated by some and feared by others, by her deportmant and her books; treating an with a familiarity which often passes for impudence, insolting those who treat her with incivility, and then lampooning them, in her books. Stripped of all her sex’s delicacy, but unable to for feit its privilege of gentle treat ment to others, she goes about like a viragoerrant in enchanted armour, and redeems herself from the cravings of indulgence by the notoriety of her eccen tricities and the forced currency they give her publications . . “Although Adams chronicled all unusual incidents while swimming, and had referred to Mrs. Royall in his diary, he makes no mention of the supposed meeting of this woman while swimming. “While Adams lived in the White House, Mrs. Royall was a resident of Washington, but travelled about iitost of the time. She was known as an author at that time, but not as a newspaper woman. Her journalistic career began two years after Adams retired as President. In 1831 she established a newspaper aptly named ‘Paul Pry,* and later she founded another small newspaper, the ‘Huntress.’ It does not seem pos sible that Anne Royall could have interviewed President Adams, at least in her capacity as a journalist. “Adams was mentioned in ‘Paul Pry’ just once, on July 28, 1832. There are references to him in the August I, 1840; Au gust 20,1842; December 14,1844; February 6,1847, and the March 4, 1848, issues of the ‘Huntress.’ Mrs. Boyall also mentioned Adams in her ‘Sketches,’ p. 166, and in her ‘Black Book,’ p. 126. But nowhere did the woman who was supposed to have been involved in the Potomac shore incident ever refer to any inter view with John Quincy Adams. “The supposed incident still makes a good story, and especially, I suppose, when newspaper men are interviewing the President, and when news is somewhat dull. How ever, I cannot believe that any of the known facts can justify the truth of this old story.” But, I insist, it’s a good story and I, for one, will not disillusion any President as to its authenticity. Coming away from a debate on taxes I couldn’t help feeling that the discussion, scholarly as it had ap peared at points, and ringing with altruism at others, had offered a political potion, only slightly fla vored with any .essence of eco nomics. How willing is congress to depart from the past, if such a de parture affects political futures? Pondering this, I came upon a dispatch in the London Daily Herald from Romney Marsh, Kent. It re counted how, in the lamp-lit sitting room of a six-century-old farm, a 72-year-old farmer, Archibald Ed win Waddell, complained to a re porter that he was about to be thrown into bankruptcy because he refused to pay 75 pounds and 3 shillings — some $300 — in “tithes.” “I shall probably die mutter ing,” Waddell said, “against this wicked, anti-social cus tom.” For previous refusals to pay tithes, there had been four seizures from his farm : bullocks, sheep, pigs, farm implements, furniture, his clothing and his cart-horse. “My father,” the old man con cluded, “who farmed for 70 years in Kent, paid 1,400 pounds in tithes, and two of my brothers were forced to emigrate. I am fighting against a rope that has tightened around my neck, and around the necks of so .many others who love the soil.” Few people realize that tith ing, payment of one-tenth of the product of the land, a custom which comes down from feudal days when it was collected by the parish priests, and later the Chorch of England, is so mod ern, and that its effects will be Ielt until the year 1996. Originally the tithe was paid in produce, but in 1836 it became a fixed rent still paid to the church. In 1925, the law was changed to make the tithe payable into what was called “Queen Anne’s Bounty," a fund used for general church pur poses. In 1936 tithing itself was abol ished but the. law provided that over a period of 60 years a sum should be paid yearly until the amount con sidered the tithe redemption fund to be the capital of the tithe on a given piece of property, had been reached. That is what Farm er Waddell ob jects to. But he’ll pay or get out, and he will never live to see the day when he doesn’t have to support the church against his will. * * * Romania chose to change'its royal purple to pure red when it bounced King Michael.

NEW S REVIEW South Threatens Split; Self Rationing Proposed to<^President Truman, who seems run to 10-point programs, tossed an other one to congress—concerning the preservation and protection of civil rights—and then stood aside to await the explosion. It came quickly. Southern Demo crats, hopping mad over at least four of the 10 controversial points, began to talk seriously of calling a Dixie convention to split away from Mr. Truman on the civil rights issue. Focus of the current disunity was a bill, up for approval by the senate labor committee, to create a na tional commission against job dis crimination on grounds of race, creed or color. Sen. Allen J. EHender (Dem., L&.) predicted that if the bill were approved in its present form the party would erupt into open war fare. Both foes and backers of the measure agreed that it would be a close thing. The four proposals that most in flamed the southerners were the ones calling for (I) a federal anti- lynching law, (2) a permanent fair employment practice commission, (3) an end to Jim Crow rules in transportation and (4) outlawing of state poll taxes. Remainder of the points advo cated by the President were: A permanent commission on civil rights, a joint congressional com mittee on civil rights, a civil rights division in the justice department; tightening of civil rights statutes; home rule for the District of Colum bia; statehood for Alaska and Ha waii; equalization of naturalization opportunities, and settlement of evacuation claims of Japanese- Americans. Because 1948 is an election year, and a presidential election year at that, the program, which otherwise might be ignored, was certain to get hot partisan debate. In answer to Mr. Truman’s firm statement that “something must be done” about the civil rights issue, southern Democrats replied that they were thinking of calling an all- southern convention to pick its own presidential candidate. Some thought that too drastic a step, but at Jackson, Miss., Walter Sillers, speaker of the Mississippi house of representatives, said he flatly favored such a course in order to withhold at least part of the South’s electoral votes from Mr. Truman. SELF RATIONING: Second Best Manifestly stymied in its efforts to get congress to pass rationing and price control legislation, the ad ministration tried a new approach in the form of an appeal for nation wide self-rationing. Greater public support of an in tensified drive for voluntary food conservation would have to be de veloped if living costs are to be curbed, the administration decided. As an initial step representatives of 18 consumer, producer and dis tributor groups met with Clinton Anderson, secretary of agriculture, to map details of the nationwide program. Charles F. Brann an, assistant secretary of agriculture, heads the new food saving setup. Originally started by the citizens’ food com mittee last fall, it has been carried on until now under the direct lead ership of the cabinet food com mittee. Major emphasis, it was under stood, would be placed on m eat as the pivotal item in the cost of living merry-go-round; however, other foods also would be covered in the voluntary program. Based on specific recommendations of the food industry and public representa tives, it is theoretically designed to meet the twin problem of scarce food supplies and high prices. Biggest talking point the admin istration had in its attempts to solicit public support was the de partment of agriculture’s somber prediction that the nation is heading for a serious meat shortage in the spring. And by way of emphasis Brannan added that meat rationing “by price” already is in effect be cause many people cannot afford to buy. FOR SALE: Some Eggs U. S. government has hung out a “for sale” sign on 46.8 million dozen eggs that it. bought last spring to support domestic prices. There is one stipulation, however. Only foreign users will be allowed to buy them. For the comfort of U. S. house wives the agriculture department was swift to point out that these eggs are not the kind that, can be used readily for home consumption: They were shelled, dumped into huge containers and frozen before the government bought them in the first place. Agriculture department decided to sell the eggs to foreign buyers when it was unable to sell them to bakers and confectioners in this coimtry because egg production has been going up and • egg prices down.

An actual journey to the moon may become a reality" sooner than one would have expected five years ago. Right now, in several parts of the world, there are small groups of earnest experts who are quite seri ous about the prospects of travel between the planets. One of those organizations is the British Interplanetary society, a group of about 450 members nearly one-third of whom are rocket and supersonic research scientists. An other third is made up of mechani cal and electrical engineers, radio and radar technicians. Many researchers working on military rocket-powered weapons believe that their work on rockets can be just as important for a peaceful future as it might be for war. From the aspect of motive power they know that by the time they can send a rocket halfway around the world they are likely to be within easy reach of the next phase—interplanetary travel. That time may not be very far distant. Present velocity of a V-2 type rocket is about two miles a second. The velocity required to send one to the most distant spot on this globe is about five miles a second; and the iestimated velocity needed to get a rocket out of the earth’s gravitational pull is seven miles a second. But actual travel in space is still a secondary consideration. After man has succeeded in shaking off earth’s gravity pull with his rock ets, the first thing he will do is to shoot a load of scientific instru ments into spa'ce. The visionary scientist sees him self sending instruments to the moon or to Mars. Or arranging it so that part of his rocket would be come a satellite to one of the plan ets. Thus, through a development of television, he might see sucli things as'the secrets of the dark side of the moon. A wealth of research — literally out of this world—would be opened up long before an attempt could b« made to begin liuman interplanet ary travel. CLASSIFIED D E P ARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST.

C. -I I .MS W •II m i-l;S m.<»*: II I Proper Treatment Will Halt Termites Tests Show Need for Protecting AU Lumber A visit to tropical Barro Colorado island in the Panama canal zone 21 years after a termite test building was erected to test effectiveness of coal-tar creosote and zinc chloride in protection of wood against ter- Panama test house. This photo shows that treated wood had not been attacked by termites. mites has shown that despite this “termite heaven,” inhabited by some 45 different kinds, termites can be defeated by proper wood treatment. This will be good news to farmers and home owners who see their wood foundations, wails and floors fall away before the onslaughts of the wood destroying “disease.” After 21 years tho impregnated wood was sound, but a cot of un treated wood left in the house was riddled by termites. This would seem to indicate that in building a house or farm building, all lumber, including the shingles, should be treated as well as the fence posts. It was found that when the termites found no edible wood, that is untreated wood, that they soon moved to new territory. Tests have shown that soil-poison ing, although beneficial, is less per manent and should be resorted to only where structural control meth ods are impractical, or in addition to them. Another aid is to discourage ter mite activity by adequate drainage,' ample ventilation and removal of wood debris.

Flies Resistant to DDT Developed by Scientists A strain of DDT-resistant house flies, requiring nearly twice as much of the chemical to kill them as ordinary flies, has been devel oped by the USDA. The possible fu ture development of DDT-resistan1 houseflies in nature is of consider able- importance, to public health. The problem depends somewhat on how lori| it may take for wild flies to develop such resistance. This would complicate control. SM Mm||P^r*Tnie^!ional Uniform ^Uliiin Sunday School I* -r.

Dr. Newton JOHN WESLEY said, “The world J i^, my parish.” Many another Christian has entertained this great concept, and that is precisely what Jesus wants us to un d erstan d con cerning the sweep and scope of his Kingdom. Sunday’s lesson brings us to con sider three great passages — A c ts 16:9, 10; R om ans 10:8-15; Ephesians 3:8-12. Read these carefully, and you will feel the winds of God lifting up the flaps of the tent of your small habi tation until you will catch glimpses of th | far horizon. CHURCH AROUND THE WORLD O YE into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation,” said Jesus, Mark 16:15. There is no backyard definition of the mission of the church in these great words of Jesus. Just as Paul was summoned to cross over into Emope with the Gospel, so are we commanded to make Christ known to all lands. He loves everybody. "Jesus loves the little children,AU the children of the world; Yellow, brown, or black, or white, They are precious in his sight,Jesus loves the little children of the world” REACHING THE WORLD TUST as Paul went from one land ” to another, so may every Chris tian boy and girl do. Each church can reach out hands of blessing to all the world. ' How? Through our gifts. Our gifts for missions, joined with the gifts of all the other members of our local church, joined with the gifts of many other churches, go out in multiplied blessing through the missionaries to make Christ known around the world. How? Through our prayers. As we pray for the redemption of the world, we fortify the mission aries — teachers, doctors, preach ers—In all the parts of the world. How? Through our sympathetic understanding of the conditions under which people live in other lands. Just now we 'are giving clothes and food to help the stricken peoples of the war-ravaged lands. These gifts of material things bear their message of our Christian con cern for all who suffer. Thus we are extending the reach of our indi vidual lives and the reach of our churches to the ends of the earth. PUBLISHING SALVATION ••"LI OW beautiful upon the moun- tains are the feet of him that bringeth glad tidings, that publish- eth peace . . . that publisheth salva tion,” Isaiah 52:7. The world mission of the church is here pictured in the exquisite lan guage of the ancient prophet, with which words we may link the dec laration of the great apostle,, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,” Ro mans 8:13. Publishing salvation is the chief task of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the objects of this universal message are the souls of all men. There is univer sal need, and here is the adequate and available answer. See how this conception of the world mission of the church brings into focus the one hope for civiliza tion. The only voice that carries across the barriers of this troubled world is' tlie voice of salvation through Jesus Christ. Let that word be sounded in any spot on this earth, and some waiting heart will be lifted up. THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES AND what are we to say about the message we have'to pub lish? Paul puts it well in Ephesians 3:8-12, when he declares: “Unto me, who am less than the least of all the saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentflies the . unsearchable riches of Christ. . . .” In another place we read about the "unspeakable gift of God,” H Corinthians 9:15. The message, then, is one of unsearchable riches, an unspeakable gift. I In this message is healing for the peoles of the earth. U the true mission of the church is under stood and voiced in all of the ways by which the Gospel may today be given to the world, we shall see the fulfillment of the dreams of the prophets, and the angels about the throne of God will shout for joy. As Paul changed his course in the long ago, heeding the Macedonian call, so may we today find ourselves toning about in our response to the Holy Spirit’s leading; but let us not be afraid so long as we are sin cerely seeking to publish glad tid ings to all men. - * * * (Copyright by tho International Coimoil ol Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations.

What the fuel dealers don’t get the food dealers will gobble up. Bladen and Robeson counties have voted to ban the sale of beer and wine in these counties by an overwhelming majority. It is not known when an election will be held in Davie County on this question. Despite the fact that Madam Eleanor Roosevelt went to New York City and campaigned for the Democratic nominee fcr Congress in a soecial election held in that city last week, the Democrat was defeated by the American Labor Party candidate by an overwhelm ing majority. Henry Wallace was backing the Labor party man. Io Davie County Taxpayers As a citizen and taxpayer of Da vie County, and having had the opportunity to observe the con ditions of the court house before the Board of Commissioners had the roof repaired and gave the in side a complete overhauling, re paired the plaster where it had broken and fallen off due to the root leaking, painted the entire building, both down and upstairs, reworked the seats and gave ali furniture a coat of varnish, which makes the entire building look much more attractive. As a taxpayer, when I wait through the court house and see the interest that has been taken in the preservation of the proper ty that belongs to the citizens of Davie County, I am proud of the gentlemen we have on the Board of Commissioners. The citizens of Davie County should, and they do commend the Board of Commissioners for look ing after and taking, care of their property. The taxpayers of Davie County, in my opinion, do not object to paying taxes when they can see the money being used for a good purpose. I, for one, can say, go ahead and use your own good judgment the future as you have in the past as to the handling of the taxpay ers’ money. I do not believe we have a citizen in Davie County that need be afraid to trust the gentlemen that are now on the Board of Commissioners, with your money, for they, in my opin ion, will spend it wisely. I would hesitate to close thi, article without congratulating Mr. Clarence James and his force for the nice and efficient job thev have done on the court house from the roof to the ground. Thanks one and all that had any part in the repairing and re painting of the court house. Hur rah for Davie. A TAXPAYER. Mrs. P. J.

Schools of Davie County resum ed classes last Tuesday morning after having lost eight days be cause of weather conditions. Freez ing weather followed by snow and thaw made many of the rural roads impassable. This condition prevailed throughout the State and many schools lost more than two weeks during the bad weather. The weatherman indicates we will have still more cold and icy weather during February, but the chances are that after March 1st, there will be little weather to keep the schools and other enterprises requiring transportation from con tinuing on regular schedule. Curtis Price, Superintent, asked The Record to express his grate ful appreciation to everyone who assisted in making annouucements and spreading information about opening and closing schools. Since there are but few rural telephones in this county, interes ted citizens in stragetic locations rendered valuable assistance in school matters and .this service is greatly appreciated by the Board of Education and the County Su perintendent of schools. School lunch rooms received potatoes and cheese last week. Attempts Suicide I R. Parker Waynick, well-known local attorney, shot himself with a riflerat his home on North Main street Wednesday morning. The bullet is said to have entered a- bove his ear, coming out through the top of his head. He was giv en medical attention by Dr. S. A. Harding, who reported his con dition as seripus. He was later carried by ambulance to the home of his parents at High Point, and is now at Baptist Hospital. Mrs. Waynick is a member of the Coo- leemee school faculty. No cause has been assigned for the rash act. His friends are hoping that he will recover. Your Health Oe- Long, Useful Life. partment Anadequate supply of clear, safe, sparkling water -is essential. to the health, welfare and happi- 1 ness of every member of the com-; munitv. Since the average citizen has no means of determining the safety of his water supply, it is necessary that every reasonable precaution be taken to safeguard this vital necessity against all pos- sible sources of pollution and con tamination. The time to protect a water sup ply from dangerous disease organ isms or just plain filth is at the time of construction. Frequently the Sanitarian with the Health Department receives calls to “come out and tell me what to do about my well.” Inspection reveals that the well has neither been properly j located nor protected against or diriary surface water. Protection of a well is expen sive after it has been closed up with a concrete slab; but a few dollars properly spent at the time of construction would provide reasonable protection aghinst all sources of pollution. You certainly want your family water supply to be safe. If you have any doubts whatever about it, come in to the Health Depart ment and let us help you. If you plan a new well, you should'cer tainly have our bulletin on “Pro tection of a PrivateWater Supply” before you even pick a location. We are busy but we’ll find time to help you if you need assistance. Office hours, 8 to 5 daily. Sat urday 9 until 12.

I was bom Feb. 10, 1862. I have lived in part of two centuries, and saw the close of four wars and did not go to either one. I was baptized into -the fellow ship of Eaton’s Baptist Church the first Sunday in December, 1877, a Iittle over 71 years ago. I was ordained one of the deacons near 50 years ago. I have been living with the same wife near 61 years I served as school com mitteeman37 years, eight, years for the entire township, and I saw a new school house go up in ev ery district, and I served without almost any compensation.

Sierifl-Shorty No-Legs would first have to prove it accident or lhurder. If murder, then he’d have to catch the murderer. And if he failed ’anywhere along the line he’d have to resign. But that was the way Shorty— World War I veteran—had asked for it. There had been so many un solved murders in Dry Creek county that Shorty ran on his word that he would resign whenever he failed to solve a case. The name Shorty had given when he first came to Scenic City came from the fact that he actually had no legs. There were barely enough stumps below Shorty's powerful body to enable him to do what he cheerfully called walking. “I’m blowing like a winded horse,” Shorty said, glancing back over the boulder-strewn way down have stayed with medicine or law. Barbers are always skinny.” I’d hunted with him many times, and seen him climb around in the mountain lots, but now he amazed even me. He was driving hard on this case. We clambered up to the highway just as the ambulance ar rived. "Take him to Doc’s,” No-Legs, said. But we found out, after a long- delayed breakfast, that the Doc didn’t find any trace of drugs or liquor on the body. “Maybe he went to sleep,” I said. “Maybe,” agreed Shorty. “Now just prove it and I can resume my disturbed slumbers.” I couldn’t, of course. “Who found him?” I asked. “Doc. Cornin’ back from a night call over in the hills somewhere and noticed the broken guard rail.” “What do you think?” “I don’t,” he said. “I ain’t got nothing to think on. There’s got to be some other angles.” ing that now. He never seemed to have to ask. questions. He’d just wait the other guy out—sqeeze him dry with the weight of dead silence. I could see the pressure, on Rhodes. Like everybody else—he’d a lot rather No-Legs would fire ques tions than just stare. ; ^Forced on the defensive.cand ob viously angry at having to explain further to the legless owl before him, Rhodes started again. “You see, I came out on the train for a deer hunt while Lefty wound up our business. He was to meet me here today and we’d go on to gether.” He ground his conversa tion to a stop. No-Legs sure surprised both “Chick” and me with his next move. He twisted his wrist and' the big gun in his hip holster moved into Rhodes' stomach. “You’re under ar rest for m inder,” he said. Rhodes soon recovered from hi3 surprise and grinned wickedly. “I The roadster had been moving on the steep down grade toward Scenic City when it failed to make a hairpin turn and jitterbugged its dance of death down the almost sheer mountainside. Which he had slipped and slid to where the battered sports roadster and the man’s body lay. Several hundred feet above looped the narrow concrete ribbon of Blue River pass highway. The roadster had been moving on the steep down grade toward Scenic City when it failed to make a hairpin turn and jitterbugged its dance of death down the almost sheer mountainside. No-Legs mopped his face with a huge bandana and began a pain staking search of the wreckage. There wasn’t much. The dead man wore a rather flashy suit. He had on yellow shoes, so new that match scratches in the instep of the left one could plainly be seen. Cigar ettes, odds and ends, and a picture of the dead man and a little geezer evidently named “Cliick,” rounded out the inventory. “Somebody,” said No-Legs, “could have got this guy drunk or drugged, driven him to this curve, headed the roadster for the railing, and stepped out. The pavement wouldn’t show any tracks,” he add ed sadly. “Shorty,” I says, “maybe I could carry you pick-a-back bade up this mountain.” I could see he was ready to leave. “Yeh,” he snorted, giving me a backhanded slap in the midriff with one of his ham-hands. “Me weigh ing 160 without legs, and you weigh ing 135 legs and all. You should “What do we do now?” “Nothing. When you’re hunting geese the first thing to do is stay in the blind. Then if they don’t fly in to you after so long, you try to crawl up on them. We ain’t stayed in the blind long enough yet.” ■ He was right. Soon after dinner a smallish fellow showed up at Shorty’s office. He was in hunting togs and would have looked like Lit tle Lord Fauntleroy if it hadn’t been for beetling black eyebrows and the vicious looking cigar he was smok ing. “I’m ‘Chick’ Rhodes,” he said, “and I wanted to talk with you about the wreck out on Blue River pass. Heard about it at the cafe.” No-Legs kept Rhodes talking, then finally tossed the picture he had taken from the dead man on to the desk. Three words were under it “Lefty and Chick.” “That’s Lefty all right,” Rhodes said. “And that’s me,” pointing to the other figure. “Taken in Chicago just before me and Lefty sold our pool hall and headed for California. Lefty was going to be drafted, and I couldn’t run the place myself. Fig ured maybe I could handle a sand wich stand in California for the duration.” You could never tell from looking at No-Legs what he was thinking. He’d spread his stumps apart, roll his eyes up at your face and stare as unblinking as an owl. He was do- w i ”J ' Grace Noll Crowell IUSED to seek < crowd io Knd delight, And this they gave me—laughter and brief song, Bright powdered winga that dusted off in ffigh^ 1 And fcubbled-beauty, nothing lasting long. But once I found a pathway down my heart: A dim, untmversed way I had not known. I walked it timidly, t thing apart, Bewildered that I found myself alone. But now I seek that beautiful retreat, And find such eool, deep peace, such sheer delight: Cold springs of water welling at my feet, White flowers by day, white guiding Stan by night. The old crowd’s laughter falls upon my cari I am exploring, and I do not hear. can prove I was back up in the hills for a week until an hour ago. I couldn’t have done it.”' “That's right,” said No-Legs, “But you probably helped engineer It!” Over Rhodes’ threats of suit and vengeance, No-Legs had hint locked up. “Let’s go to Rhodes’ hotel,” he said, without giving me a chance tq ask questions. Arrived in “Chick’s” room, he began digging in suit, cases. “Here they are.” He said it just like he knew they’d be there. They were insurance policies on the life of George (Lefty) Ellitto. Twenty-five thousand dollars in all, “That dead man ain’t Ellitto,” No-Legs said. “I think Ellitto.must have done the actual murder.” I still couldn’t get it. But that evening No-Legs met me in the cafe and gave me the dope. Rhodes had confessed. “It was like I said. El litto killed him. You see Ellitto and Rhodes found a guy in Chicago that looked just like Ellitto.. They of fered him a good proposition to go West with them. Up on the pass Ellitto stops the car on a pretense of getting the other fellow to drive. “Then, he knocks him in the head, stows him behind the wheel and maneuvers the car over the cliff. We couldn’t tell whether the fellow had been hit in the head or got the bump in the wreck.” I began to see. “Rhodes was to collect the insurance, meet Ellitto in Old Mexico' or some place and live happily ever after.” Then I got out the question that had tor mented-me all afternoon. “How did you know the dead man wasn’t El litto?” “That was easy,” No-Legs said. “Left-handed guys don’t scratch matches on the bottom of their left shoes. Right-handed guys do that.” Metallic Flesh and Bone Used for Artificial Ears Metallic flesh and bone made from tantalum are providing new ears and rehabilitating torn nerves and other tissues for thousands of persons, Dr. Clarence W. Balke re ported to American Chemical so ciety. Artificial ears have peea grown on frameworks of tantalum .wire, and more than 5,OOtLskull injuries have been repaired with tantalum plates. Thousands of severed or injured nerves have been made sound again with tantalum foil, and literally miles of wire have been used for surgical sutures, Dr. Balke re ported. Tantalum is called “biologically acceptable” since body tissues ad here to and grow over the metal. Both tantalum and columbium are completely non-irritating to living tissue, and they are not made irri tating by pathological or disease conditions within the tissues.

Jrtansas For All the People America, we sometimes say, is made up of Fords and Frigidaires, Kodaks and Coca-Cola. We like brands and trade-marks. We respect the successful products of industry, and have confidence in them. We’re even likely to take these things for granted, without knowing the how or why behind them. America is the only land where initiative, enterprise, and competition have been allowed to work for the good of all the people. Yet, to view our industry as com prising a few great names and trade-marks only, is to have a con fused and off-balance picture. To think that manufacturers of goods we all like to buy—automobiles, for instance — are the “great monop oly” is to fail to see how big and how productive the nation really is. Neither General Motors, nor any of the others, could get by without their hundreds of helper factories that make everything from cotter-pins to hub-caps. Where the Supplies These helper factories are in turn supplied with parts and materials by hundreds of other firms. A supply line may even go back to a simple “alley shop,” where three or foui men grind or polish a part. Or take a town like Worcester, Mass. The total wage bill there for workers in plants supplying the automotive in dustry was almost 840,000,000 in 1946. That’s a good sized payroll. Or take the whole parts industry, of which there are more than 1,000 companies, with plants spread al; over America. Most of these parts producers are small businesses, em ploying less than 500 workers each. Usually their origin may be traced to fertile minds that invented and patented an idea for improving automobiles. Many newcomers are still getting into the parts and equip ment field. Under the American sys tem, this is possible. Each Has a Part Mistaken in their complaint about monopolies, in the next breath some folks berate the “machine age” for not offering the worker a chance to take pride in his work. Just putting in -cotter-pins all day in the same old assembly-line position, they say, is poor substitute for craftsmanship. Right here, I want to go on record as praising the free and responsible American who put the cotter-pins firmly and safely in the chassis of my automobile! He did a good job. I’ll give the average American worker the praise that is his due. He has the intelligence to see his place in our method of mass production of goods for the use of everybody. Not so long ago, war workers were being told they were "right behind the man behind the gun.” Indeed, the lowliest assembly- line worker or file-clerk is a part of peace-time production. And it is this production that makes America the best land in the world in which to live. Yes, hundreds and sometimes thousands of suppliers and fabrica tors are the craftsmen behind the automobiles we drive, the radios we hear. As workers in a free America, we can never overlook the impor tance of the place we have behind the name tags on the products of ouj skill. As we work, and to the extent that we understand and depend upon that system, so shall we suc ceed in preserving American ways and liberties.

Arkansas Wage-Hour Fixing Thurman Sensing, who directs re search for the Southern States In dustrial Council, Nashville. Tenn., is a man who speaks with wisdom. Sometime ago Mr. Sensing released comments on our wage and hour law, in which he predicted there would be continued agitation to fix minimum wages at high figures. I think it is true, as Mr. Sensing sug gests, that few people understand the implications of wage and hour fixing by the government. Says Mr. Sensing; “The whole sys tem of democracy is directly op posed to any sort of planned econ omy. . . . Deny it though we may, the fixing of wages by legislative action can be regarded as noth ing else than part and parcel of planned economy. If the government is aOowed to assume the power to fix minimum wages and maximum hours, there is nothing to keep the government from reversing this process and fixing maximum wages and minimum hours.” With that democracy flies completely out the window, Mr. Sensing de clares. Real Guarantee Everybody, he says, should have a living wage — or more — if he earns it.-“But no one who believes in democracy will argue that a per son should have a certain wage whether he earns it or not. Produc tivity comes first, not wages. The only real guarantee behind a wage, in a democracy is the productivity of the person who receives the wage.” These words are so logical and the reasoning so plain that I would like to continue with Mr. Sensing’s comments. Suppose an employer couldn’t pay the minimum wages set up, and had to close down. There are two choices for the government; "either the business must be taken over . . . and workers paid without any reference to the earnings of the business; or the workers go on relief and are issued a dole at the expense of the general public.” False Promises The first would be state socialism, which the people of America would never endorse willingly or knowing ly. "Socialism never has and never will bring the people a strong gov ernment and a high standard of liv ing.” Mr. Sensing cites state social ism in England: “Promising them greater production, it has brought decreased production; promising them a higher standard of living, it has brought them a lower stand ard of living; promising them happi ness, it has brought them misery.” Whence Prosperity? The other alternative, says Mr. Sensing, would bring a great body of unemployed. “They are unem ployed simply because the laws of the land have made it unprofitable for them to be employed. . . . They are living off the enterprise and pro ductivity of the rest of the people. Their incentive is dulled, their energy is stifled, their initiative is warped. They are drones in a free society.” When the drones are too numerous to be supported by the workers, Mr. Sensing continues, the government takes over and the society is no longer free. “If minimum wages fixed by the law are to make us prosperous, we might as well set the figure at one dollar per hour or two dollars per hovu or five dollars per hour. . . . In a democracy the requirement must always be that the individual shall earn his wage, whether it be ten cents per hour or ten dollars per hour; moreover, that it shall be fixed by free enterprise in a competi tive economy. Our whole history has shown this to be ’he road to prosper ity!’ LOOKING nr GEORGE S. BENSON PraideHt-Marding College Seoreg. Mrkansai Need for Unity The United Nations is a ' imp organization. It was forme-. . jou! two years ago and now com'-risss 55 nations. During the past year, it if said, the different divisions have held a total of 1,911 meetings. The chief avowed purposes are to br;nr peace to the world and to prevent starvation as an aftermath of the war. Great sums of money have been used to provide food for peo ples that are conirMered destitute. At first it was thought that 194? would be the cr’t'cal year. ITow, \v< are approachwa t'-* v'-i'w of 19'7 Some reports say there will be mor< hunger this winter than last. Fron various countries in Fhro-O the re ports show no improvement. Cerin’i f T ‘~ " ' s It would seem there is enour 1 power and strength in 53 nrliens t- help this rrudd’ed world ret some where. And surely enough more- has been spent to help those hungn nations to begin feeding themselves The answer is not hard to fi-d. T - United Nations has not demo- strated real unit” of nur- os. Fv- the leaders among the 53 n -’io- have worked at cross purposes- Each nation has been intent ups achieving certain objectives of it* own. This is as true of the “Bh Four”, as it is of theism aller nations. It is my nope m at m some way the United Nations may find unity of purpose and intention. The most I can get out of this present situa tion, however, is an important les son for our own country. No Cross Purposes In America we have found a good measure of unity, historically speak ing. Though we are made up of states and other kinds of groups, we have shown appreciation for the same fundamentals of democratic living. What is true of the United Nations as a whole is true of nations individ ually. Jl we are going to continue to be a prosperous and healthy repub lic, we too must have unity of. pur pose. Workers, managers, indus trialists, farmers, educators — we must all keep our purposes - con trolled in the direction of full unity. If one group wants to destroy the capitalist, and another wants to de stroy labor unions, these are at cross purposes. If one group wants to eliminate private ownership of property, and another group wants to preserve Constitutional govern ment, these also are working at cross purposes. If we have every body working at cross purposes, then conditions in our country will grow worse rather than better. Three Goals It is imperative that the entire na tion be united on fundamentals. It is necessary that all groups work for certain goals. Right now, I would like to suggest three goals we can all achieve together..First, economy in government spending so rigid the public can see that money is being saved. Second, a program of maxi mum productivity that can attract the enthusiasm of capital, manage ment, labor, and agriculture. Third, a rededication of all our groups to preserve individual freedom for the entire nation. With this kind of unity right now, in 1947, no otte need fear for the future prosperity and well-being ol our nation. LOOKING A ffffA D by GEORGE S. BENSON PresideHt-MardiHg College Seareg. Arkansas Rule Book for Civilization Like thousands of other Ameri cans in 1941 I bought a new car. :I got an Oldsmobile. I am still us- Jng the car and getting good service out of it, and I believe I know why. A book of instructions came with it, and because I believed the peo ple who made the car could tell me a great deal about how to run it, I studied that book carefully. I got excellent service from the automobile throughout f^e entire war, and am still using it. I believe that happ. because I followed the instructions of those who -made the Oldsmobile. Doing that, I could expect to get good service. The whole idea seemed like good logic to me. May I sub mit an application for this home made parable? If this principle works with automobiles, it should have some merit when applied to things larger and more important. :Will you follow me in this applica-. 'tion? Handbook for Mortals The Bible is the book of instruc tions from the Creator who made the world and the fullness thereof. It is the book containing the laws, rules, and advice that we mortals should read and study in order that we may know how to proceed. It is the instruction book on how to operate that part of the Creator’s handiwork with which we are in volved. Careful study of this instruc tion book will bring great dividends. I am glad to live in a land where a National Bible Week finds enthusi astic support. This year October 20 to 26 has been so designated. Did you know that twelve of the thir teen little colonies planted along the Atlantic seaboard were found ed by people who came to Amer ica seeking religious freedom? Their lives were guided and domi nated by the Bible. But perhaps even they did not visualize the kind of America to come—the America to come because of what they did. Bill of Freedoms Later, when our Constitution was framed, the men who wrote it were men who believed the Bible and who looked upon it as God’s “in struction book.” These men desired to maintain for their descendants, and for posterity, the kind of individual freedom which they be-. Iieved the Creator had decreed for every individual. To them, that was one of the instruction rules out of the book. That Constitution, when adooted and amended in 1789, carried with it the greatest bill of individual freedoms that any nation has ever enjoyed. Under these freedoms, America developed the greatest measure of well-being and prosper ity that any segment of mankind has ever developed on this earth. It may be said, without any doubt, that the freedoms and liberties which brought our prosperity grew directly from the religious founda tion laid by our forefathers. I am glad to feel that we Ameri cans are so dedicated to the basic concepts of law and practice -as' they are found in the Bible. If we will look to God’s instruction book for guidance at all times in the future, making it our source book for living, then our future is secure. Only in that way may America pre serve liberty and freedom — and even civilization, through the com ing decades and centuries.

Be An “Engineer in Good Eating”—Do Home Canning! Simple Instructions Based on Science 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 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 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 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 Iid 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, ^lass 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- I licious home canned foods.
