C. ™?FIC'ION CORNER THE RUG By VIRGINIA SULLIVAN TOMLINSON T KNEW the Farraday family be- fore it happened. I knew them first when I was nine and Ellen Farraday was eight and in my class at school. There were two other Farraday children: Skippy, the baby, who was five, and Dora, seventeen, just entering business school. Dora was engaged to marry Danny Wright, who ran the service-station in town. Mr. Farraday was branch manager of our local bank. “Such a nice, quiet man,” people said. “If only that wife of his were not such a fool.” I didn’t think Mrs. Farraday was a fool. I liked her. The sprawling old Farraday house, with its sag ging porch, was always in need of repair, the shabby living-room would be cluttered and dishes un washed, but Mrs. Farraday was never too busy to plan games for rainy afternoons or picnics in sum mer in their rickety old car. She was little and quick and dark, with rather kittenish ways; always thinking up something new and “ex- ■ citing”—like the dress she designed for Dora that won the prize in the Easter parade. ■There was nothing I loved more than going over to the Farraday house whenever I had the chance. Saturday mornings they always had pancakes; Sundays they had sau sages and Boston baked beans and applesauce in a blue glass dish. And they had laughter. A great deal of laughter—except when Aunt Abbey came to call. Aunt Abbey was Mr. Farraday’s aunt, a very rich, very unpleasant bid lady who lived in an imposing granite house at the end of town. It was no secret that she disapproved bitterly of the entire Farraday fam ily. Why she visited them nobody knew, unless it was because, of all her relatives, they refused to be im pressed by her money or upset by her caustic tongue. They merely accepted her, all but Mrs. Farra- day, who seemed to like having Aunt Abbey around. Curiously enough, it was of Mrs. Farraday herself that Aunt Abbey most bit terly disapproved. “My nephew’s wife isn’t fooling me,” she’d, say. “Always pretend ing to be so gay. What’s she got to be happy about, I’d like to know? If my nephew had married a sensible woman, he’d have amounted to something by now.” “I declare,” my mother said, “it gives me the creeps, the way that old lady looks at Mrs. Farraday. I believe she really hates her.” “She hates them all,” my father said, “because they’ve got what she never had. The Farradays have contentment. All Aunt Abbey has is money, and when she’s gone they’ll have that, too.” Only they didn’t. Because when Aunt Abbey died the year Ellen Farraday was nine, she left them no money at all. Her entire estate went to charity, with one exception. She left Mrs. Farraday a rug. It was an Oriental rug, exceptionally large and lovely; golden in color, satiny to the touch, starred with dusty pink flowers. “It’s a shame,” people said, “when those children need money so. But of course they can sell the rug. It's valuable and Orientals are in vogue.” Then a dealer offered Mrs. Farraday $25,000 for her rug. The town rejoiced for the Farra- days. This meant college for the children and money to fix up the old house. But, to the amazement of everyone, Mrs. Farraday stubborn ly refused to sell. She had always admired that rug, she said. She’d been as surprised as anyone when Aunt Abbey had left it to her. She had always thought Aunt Abbey dis liked her; all those unkind remarks she used to make. But now she was grateful for the rug and meant to keep it. Since the narrow living room at the Farradays was too small for the rug, Mr. Farraday was persuaded to sell the home and rent a house with larger rooms. Their old stuff looked pretty shabby against the rug, so with the money from the sale of the home they bought new furniture. And after awhile, because of the friends they acquired in the new surroundings, the Farradays bought a new car, too. I saw less of Ellen now, except at school. Gradually my visits to the ElKs' picnic that year. Everyone took Skippy’s little body out of the water that night. My mother sat with Mrs. Farraday when they brought him home. Dora Farraday didn’t come home at all. She sent a telegram. It arrived just as they were bringing Skippy’s body into the house. Dora had left Skippy alone by the lake to elope to New York with her new beau. Ellen continued at school; she had always been very quiet. And after awhile, Mrs. Farraday went about the town again, holding her head very high, smiling her fixed, gay smile. Only Mr. Farraday seemed changed. He aged visibly that year. Nobody was surprised when the cold he caught just before Christ mas turned into pneumonia. The doctors said that he just hadn’t the will to live. Dora came home when her father died. Mrs. Farraday sent her the money. Dora’s husband had left her and Dora had been working in New York, clerking in a store. People thought that perhaps she’d stay home now, since her mother needed i 4 m Farradays had ceased, partly be cause my mother disapproved of Dora Farraday’s new friends. Dora had always been a sweet, docile little thing, ambitious to get along. Now she had given up business school. She had even broken off her engagement to Danny Wright. Dora had a new beau now; one she’d met through her "crowd.” Nobody liked him, but he was rich and he gave Dora a good time. He had a weak, handsome face and a loud scoffing laugh. I’d see them together as I walked home from school, dashing around town in his rakish car or going into Van’s Place for drinks. People felt sorry for Danny Wright. He’d been so crazy about Dora, and always so glad to have Skippy and Ellen around. PJORA’s new beau didn’t like chil- dren. He objected to Skippy trail ing her about. Skippy was six now, very spoiled and rather a nuisance; but it seemed hardly fair to blame Dora entirely for what happened at the Elks’ picnic that year. Everyone said, though, that it was Dora’s fault. She’d taken Skippy to the pic nic, hadn’t she? She should not have gone off with that beau of hers, leaving the child alone by the lake. My father was one of the men who 4 4 Grace Noll Crowell ILIKE Uie look of «now when it is melting And sending its clear rivuleh towardthe sea; I like Uie sweep of dry grasses Lending Beneath those bright feet, suddenly set free.

A IittTe clover leaf washed dean by waiting, M Eager for life again at the hint of spring! I reach my lingers into the icy water To touch that tender, tremulous, wistful thing, Knowingakinship with it,deep and abiding, I, too, have waited until the winter passed. And I lift my head after a strange chastisement To the bright air again, die son at last!' 1V Shfe’d taken Skippy to the picnic, hadn’t she? She should not have gone off with that beau of hers, leaving the child alone by the lake, her, but nobody really expected she would. Danny Wright was married now, to one of Dora’s former class mates, a plain little girl with ador ing eyes. They came to Mr. Farra day’s funeral, sitting closely to gether in the church. The week after the funeral Dora went back to her job in New York, and the day after she left Mrs. Farraday came to see my father about selling her rug to pay her bills. My father did his best; but this was a depression year—and nobody had money now for Oriental rugs. The five thousand dollars he finally got from a dealer barely paid for Mr. Farraday’s funeral and for Mrs. Farraday’s debts. Mrs. Farra day got a job at the hotel. Her salary included room and board, so that Ellen could live with her, too. It was storming hard the day they moved down there. We left them alone and drove home through the snow-covered town, passing the old Farraday house on the way. No body lived in it now. Tears crowded behind my lids as we drove slowly by. "They were happy in that house,” my father said. “A great pity they ever moved out of it. If Aunt Abbey knew what she was doing when she made that will, then she must be laughing now in her grave.” My mother spoke suddenly. “That’s it!” she exclaimed. "She did know what she was doing. And I’m surprised that I never thought of it before.” “What do you mean?” My father stared at her. Her voice had sound ed strange. “She knew exactly what she was doing!” my mother said. "And wherever she is — she probably is laughing Aunt Abbey knew that Mrs. Farraday would never be able to resist living up to that rug!” Cities Grant Pay Increases To Help Meet Rising Costs Scores of cities are granting pay raises to municipal employees to help them meet .increased living costs. In Cleveland the mayor agreed to grant pay raises to muni cipal employees which will cost the city $2,100,000 this year. Fire and police personnel received a $240 a year increase, plus six new holi days to be added to annual fur loughs. White collar employees of Cleveland will get a $180 annual raise if they make less than $3,000 a year. Their increase will be 6.5 per cent if they make more than $3,000 annually. Pittsburgh councilmen earmarked $1,200,000 for municipal pay raises. Biggest pay boosts went to em ployees receiving $2,000 a year or less. Chicago’s record city budget for 1948 includes pay increases of 8.5 per cent for municipal employees earning less than $5,000 a year, plus raises averaging $300 a year for higher paid employees. In Omaha, all city employees have been given a flat $15 per month wage boost. The increase will affect approximately 1,260 work ers.' New York City boosted the sal aries of 42 top city officials.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm s 67. The Personal Witness Lesson for March I ,1948 Newton ~\R. ALBERT SCHWEITZER, de- scribed by Hermann Hagedorn as "Prophet in the Wilderness,” is a living example of what Sunday’s les son is undertaking to portray, namely, living for Jesu s w h e re you a r e . Schweitzer, at 72, is described by Hage- dorn as one who “burns like Francis of Assisi, and looks like Josef Stalin.” But to the people of Equatorial Africa, he looks and acts like our Saviour Jesus did. The lesson passage is found in Acts 8:26-39, and is the story of Philip, leaving his very successful evangelistic campaign in Samaria to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit into the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is des ert. There he found a man in search of God, and through his witness the man was saved.* * * THE STOBI OF JESUS 'TpHIS man was not of Philip’s race. He was an Ethiopian. But he was a man. And God loves every man of every race and of every condition of life. Jesus never did meet an unimportant person, nor will any true follower of his. Jesus said, "As the Father has sent Me, even so send I you,” John 20:21. This man was reading in the Book of Isaiah, where the prophet , was foretelling how Jesus would suffer for the sins of the whole world. He could not understand the wonderful words. And the Spirit directed PIulip to go and join himself to the eunuch. Philip ran to the chariot in which the rich man rode, asking, “Under- standest thou what thou readest?” He was quick to give his witness. That is the first lesson of the lesson.* * * AND THE MAN LISTENED T S T HEN we faithfully obey the ' ' Holy Spirit, he enables us to effectively witness for Jesus. We cannot be effective witnesses if we rely upon our own wisdom and our own judgment. The boy in your street who does not know Jesus will listen to your story if you go in the same glacl obedience to the com mand of the Spirit of God as did Philip. V A lad told me this story. He had a neighbor who had never been to Sunday school, and he wanted to enlist this friend. He thought about it seriously. But he was not quite sure of himself. And then he prayed, asking God to direct him. The next day the boy asked him, “What are you doing Sunday morning?” With this opening the lad invited his neighbor to come along with him, and the result was that the little neighbor, of an other race, accepted Christ as his Saviour and is today a regular attendant at church and Sunday school.* * * TO WHOM SHALL WE WITNESS? 'T 'H E question now emerges, To whom shall we bear this wit ness? We cannot all go as mission aries, as did Dr. Schweitzer. Most of us must remain at home and carry on the work of our everyday pursuits of life. But every1 Christian can wit ness. First, to those immediately about us. In every community in our beloved country are people who do not know Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. We can witness to them, not to all of them, but to some of them, perhaps to-one of them. And I would remind you that if you miss that particular person to whom you may be di rected by the Holy Spirit, he or she may never know about the Saviour's love! Second, we can share in the send ing of the missionaries to earth’s remotest bounds, through our gifts. I delight to think that I am in part nership with many great men and women on foreign fields, through my gifts and through my prayers. Third, we can witness through personal correspondence with peo ple in other lands. The present far-reaching media of relief for stricken peoples of the world af fords a wonderful opportunity for this very witness. Ask your pastor for the name of some person your age in one of the lands to which your church is sending relief, and write that person a -letter, telling of your joy in serving God. The eunuch went on his way re joicing. Why? Because Philip had taught him the way of salvation. He had been used as an effective wit ness in leading a man of another race to experience the peace that passeth all understanding. And Jesus is saying to us today, “So send I you.”• * * (Copyright by the IatetBatIanaI Council of Religious education on behalf ot 40 Protestant denominations. Released by W N tf Features.)

Southern Democrats are cuss ing President Roosevelt to a fare- you well, but when the ides of November roll around the boys will march up and vote a straight Democratic ticket. “Ephriam is joined to his idols.” A brother of Hoey Long, once “wild” Senator from Louisiana, has been nominated for Governor of that State. If Long is any re lation to his brother Hoey, the good people of Louisiana are in for a hot time. The public is invited to attend a Farm Bureau meeting at 7:30 p. m., on Friday night, March 12th, in the Mocksville court house. The Hon. J. Melville Broughton, former governor of North Caro lina, will speak on the subject, “The Value of Farm Organiza- tions.” M. D. Pope, president- of the Farm Bureau, will preside at the meeting. THis is of interest to every Da vie County farmer and all other people interested in successful ag riculture. Ladies are also invited. Rev. E. J.

The prob lem of sewage disposal is so dose-' Iy. connected with that of a water supply that we usually consider them together. W e frequently have inquiries regarding the law regulating priv ies. According to State Board of Health regulations, any residence located within 30 yards of anoth er residence or within one mile of a village must be provided with a privy with concrete stool, con Crete slab or floor, and a concrete sill. This manner of construction makes a privy fly-tight and safe. The law of common decency would dictate that anyone, wheth er within the above limits or not, would want to protect himself and family against the dangers of an open privy or promiscuous pol lution of the soil. No one wants to eat food walked over and spit upon, by a fly that has waded through the contents of an open privy. Open privies are not only dangerous for the family but a health hazard to the community. W e cannor tell you in a short news article how to build a privy or a septic tank, but we do have free bulletines and will be glad to visit your home and make re commendations.

ORk -RIUND 5 Hospitality StiHens WASHINGTON. — For two years the agriculture department has been trying to crack the “iron curtain” and inspect a Russian project that might teach us new lessons in how to conquer the southwest’s great "dust bowl.” But repeated appeals for a look-see have been turned down by the Russians. As a result, the agriculture department now will stiffen its own hospitality toward Russian agriculture missions. The Russian project is a scientific “shelter belt,” planted with trees to save the soil from erosion. Report edly it was started more than 50 years ago, but American soil ex perts didn’t learn of it until after the war. By visiting it, they hoped to learn new methods for controlling the restless topsoil in our own south west. Despite Soviet secrecy, how ever, the agriculture depart ment so far has turned the other eheek and shown Russian ex perts all aspects of American agriculture, even though the Russians always carried cam eras and asked exhaustive ques tions. For example, a Russian mission inspecting the forest product labo ratories at Madison, Wis., wanted to know the cubic measurements of each building, how may people each would hold and intricate de tails about the equipment. Also the Soviet embassy always sent more people than stipulated, such as a recent mission to Oregon State college. Arrangements were requested for two, but five showed up and stayed on until they wore out their welcome. From now on, U. S. hospitality, if at all, will be frigid. Hoover’s Choice Herbert Hoover tells friends that he intends to remain “strict ly neutral” toward all candidates in the race for the G.O.P. Presi- dential nomination. However, Hoover feels that Tom Dewey, Sen. Bob Taft, Sen. Arthur Vandenberg or Speaker Joe Martin—any one of them— would make a good president. Mysterious Delay There is a big hole on the east side of New York City where the United Nations headquarters some day are supposed to be. Meanwhile, a mysterious delay has developed and some say it leads directly to the White House. One White House caller even came away -reporting that the President favors moving the United Nations over to Geneva —despite the prodigious efforts of Americans to bring the United Nations to the U. S. The Presi dent complained that too many U. N. pressure groups have been bothering him. Meanwhile, a hush-hush meeting took place on Long Island the other day. Net result was a decision that each member of the United Nations would pay up a proportion of the cost for the new buildings. Mean while, since the United Nations has no immediate cash on hand, a loan of 68 million dollars will be neces sary from Uncle Sam, to be liqui dated out of annual U, N. income. Mailer of Timing Wives of Republican congress men are hopping mad at Mrs. Truman. The First Lady sched uled the White House reception for congressmen on February 10, the very same day that most Re publican congressmen were out making Lincoln day speeches. G.O.P. wives hint that Mrs. Tru man wants to prevent the Repub licans from getting a preview of the White House so many of them hope to occupy next year. Feudin’ and Fightin’ FDR’s running feud with Capitol Hill Democrats is a well-known story, but with Harry Truman it was expected to be different. After all, he had served in the U. S. senate, and once, as President, even re sumed his old seat on the floor of the senate; sometimes goes to lunch with senate Democrats in the pri vate office of Leslie Biffle. Today, however, Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill are just as sore at their old pal, Harry Truman, as they were at Roose velt — possibly more so. What Alben Barkley and ex-Speaker Sam Rayburn say' about their chief in the White House can’t he printed in a family news paper. They were especially indignant at the way he handled the attempt to fire Marriner Eccles, replacing,him with dyed-in-the-wool Republican Tom McCabe. They also were burnt up at the way Mr. Truman ousted Jam es Landis from civil aeronau tics. Finally they are not at all happy over the present tax battle and the fact that they have to go down the line for what .they call “Trum’s screwball tax plan” to reduce ev erybody’s taxes by J Martin Is Likely GOP Dark Horse <s>-------------------------------------------------------------------:---------- Contest Between Taft, Dewey Decisive in Republican Race By BAUIfflAGE News Analyst and Commentator. As this is written, the crystal ball gazers say that the 5’ 8" black-moustached governor of the Empire State is going to be the next President of the United States. Some people will question this, and three, six or more months from now, even my private crystal-gazers may revise their predictions. But the Dewey following is confident, even in the face of the latest Roper poll, which shows that Harold Stassen is the only Republican (now that Eisenhower is out) who could win four out of the six major geographi cal regions of the country from Mr. Trumant The poll says Stassen leads everywhere but in the solid South. ^ Suppose the solid South should split from the Democratic party, as they indicated they might in or der to rebuke the President for his so - called “anti so u th ern ” civil rights m essage w hich recom m ended an ti- lynch, anti-poll- tax, fair prac tices legislation, which is labelled “pro-Negro” by m any southern critics? Well, sup- BAUKHAGE tlVlt' aVd ®sof the date of this poll (February 5), Stassen has it. Still the old-timers stick to their prediction of Dewey, which they make with tears in their eyes, in stead of smoke from the smoke- filled room where decisions are sup posed to be made. I wish that you people could have attended that over-crowded lunch eon at the National Press club when Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spoke and introduced his successor, Gen. Omar Bradley, as chief of staff. It was a good talk, and you probably read the report of it. You also probably have read the report of the question and an swer period which General Eis enhower permitted, and which was one of the best news con ferences—that’s what it turned out to be—that I ever have at tended. Members who couldn’t get in were standing up, cocking ears, 12 to 15 deep outside the entrances to the dining room. Naturally some questions dealt with the Eisenhower withdrawal statement issued late in January. The night after the Eisenhower withdrawal, which most Republicans and Democrats considered as final, I happened to be with two die hard, right-wing Republicans, who wouldn’t even admit they were as happy as they were. They kept say ing, why couldn’t he have said that much earlier if he meant it, and anyhow he has left a loophole so he can run, if not now, in 1952. I couldn’t see that. I knew a lot of Republicans thought Eisenhower’s letter was an absolutely honest statement, dictated by the reason ing of an honest. man, untrained in politics, it is true, but speaking from his heart. There isn’t space to repeat Eisen hower’s long statement in which he said, among other things: “I am not available for and could not accept nomination for high political office.. . . My deci sion . . . is definite and posi tive. “The necessary and wise sub ordination of the military to civil power will be best sus tained . . . when lifelong pro fessional soldiers . . . abstain .from seeking high political office. . . . I would regard it as un alloyed tragedy for our country if ever should come Uie day when military commanders might be selected with an eye to their future potentialities in the political field.” General Sherman said: “I will not run if nominated and will not serve if elected.” But what motivated Sherman . . . and Eisenhower? The sincere belief expressed in Eisenhower’s statement that a man of purely military training wasn’t equipped for the job? (That state ment, as you know, was thrown back at Eisenhower as a sideswipe at Gen. Douglas MacArthiu:, who has emphatically NOT said that he didn’t choose to run.) I have spoken of the Eisenhower family at some length before in this column. I do not claim to be more than an acquaintance. But, as I said, when General Eisenhower’s statement came over the wire, I was firmly convinced that there wasn’t any equivocation in it. And I am glad that the press and their friends heard Eisenhower answer the ques tions .as he did, giving back steel for steel on every throw. There was a big sigh of relief, of course, when the Republican and Democratic leaders knew Eisen hower was out. I felt the same way, but for a different reason. My rea son for being glad that Eisenhower isn’t going to be President—as he would have been on any ticket if he had run—is the same reasoh he put forth. I have tremendous respect for him, personally, professionally. I am not a professional soldier, but my experience as a wartime soldier is reinforced by an indirect impres sion of military thought which goes back for many generations hi my own family and is kept alive with close personal contacts in the armed services. I simply say this to the voter: You may have a tremendous respect for a man’s military record, but that doesn’t mean yon’d call him in if your child had appendicitis. Politics Is just as much of a profession as med icine or the law. We need a trained leader in this particular kind of leading. Maybe we will get one. Maybe we won’t. Speaker Joe M artin U niversally Popular Stassen has certain qualities of leadership with which he seems to have impressed the people inter viewed by the Roper pollers. But unless Stassen could “sweep the pri maries” — I’m frankly quoting my chief crystal-gazer — he hasn’t a chance at this writing. There doesn’t seem to be a chance of his sweeping the primaries, and anyhow there aren’t many states which have adopted this device, which it was thought could beat the “smoke-filled room.” Now, the man who is going to be nominated is the man who wins in the Taft-Dewey contest (always, as of NOW). That doesn’t mean it will be Taft or Dewey. But it does mean that it will be the man who, although he hasn’t enough votes on this prelim, can pick up enough in dependent votes in later con tests to see him through. At the present writing, it looks as if there were enough of those “changeable” votes to nominate Dewey. If it’s neither Dewey nor Stassen, the wise guys in Washington say it will be none other than Speaker Joe Martin, who never insulted anybody and has more friends in and out of Washington than a winner in a crap game when everyone else is broke. Without ever pulling any rough stuff, Joe Martin has put more peo ple under willing obligation to him than any man I know in congress. For example — when the Taft- Hartley fight was at its hottest, a certain Republican congressman came to Joe and said: “I’m sorry, Joe, I’ve got to bolt. My constitu ency doesn’t want this bill.” Joe didn’t argue. He simply said: “Don’t worry. I understand your situation perfectly. We’ll get the votes anyhow. Forget it.” Some years ago, a magazine took a secret poll of the Wash ington correspondents to deter mine the most “useful" man in congress. He was to be judged by his “integrity, intelligence, industry and influence.” Joe got the highest vote of anyone in either house or senate. Not long ago there was one of those big parties here, periodically thrown by various visiting firemen. It was a regular stampede, but some way I managed to back Joe Martin into a comer with my two Washington-wise assistants. Joe is a bachelor, and these two women are not lacking in either brains or pulchritude. They’d both met the speaker before, more or less pro fessionally, anyhow rather formally. This wasn’t formal. Neither of them is a born-and-bred Republican. Like me, and all other Washingtonians, they are voteless and more or less neutral between the parties. Both of ,them fell for Joe Martin hard. And it wasn’t because it is Leap Year and Joe is a bachelor. They are both happily married (the only kind of assistants my wife and I hire). At any rate, Joe Martin is a good dark horse to watch. MARGARINE STRATEGY . . . Rep. Edward A. MitcheU (Rep., Ind.) acted as host at a capitol luncheon for congressmen and members, of women’s leagues who favor repeal of the present taxes on oleomar garine. Donning a chef’s bulging cap, MitcheU demonstrated the process housewives must go through to color their margarine at home. NEWS REVIEW Peril Seen for Tax Cut; Soil Control Row Due FoRowing the first blush of joy< over the spirit of deflation which seemed to have been evoked by the commodity market price slump, U. S. citizens began to realize that complications might set in. Most significant hidden gimmick behind the market skid appeared to be the development that the price decline might, in the words of Sen. Scott Lucas (Dem., IR.), "eRminate aR possibility” of income tax re ductions this year. And that apparently was the cau tious but considered opinion of the entire tax-writing senate finance committee, of which Lucas is a member. Sen. Owen Brewster (Rep., Me.), also a finance committee member, expressed a concurring view, point ing out that any appreciable gen eral price decline “certainly would have to be taken into consideration” by RepubRcans in their tax-cutting plans. Another member of the group, Sen. Harry Byrd (Dem., VaJ said that if a decline of m arket prices develops into a business recession, it probably would have “a consid erable effect” on tax reduction. “I certainly am not going to vote for any biR that would put the treas ury in a deficit position,” said Byrd. WhUe the senators’ statements re flected a good deal of pussyfooting and at least a temporary surge of indecision with regard to tax reduc tion in the Rght of the market slump, it was obvious that they were thoroughly concerned with this turn of events.Theory which set their tax-cutting plans awry is that a continued slump of commodity m arket prices woiUd bring down the national in come and tax receipts, thus render ing any major tax reduction per ilous. SOIL CONTROL: State or Federal? One of the springtime battles now shaping up in congress wiR concern the issue of whether the national farm erosion program should be federaRy or state controRed. Fireworks are scheduled to begin in March when the house agriculture committee opens hearings on a biR sponsored by Rep. Harry D. Cooley (Dem., N. C.) which would turn over the soil conservation program, operated by the agriculture depart ment since 1935, to state land grant coHeges. Along with the transfer of author ity woiUd go about 10,500 depart ment agents who administer the program in about 2,000 districts. That wiR provide a point of strong controversy, as wiR the measure's provision for federal grants to help states foot their soR-saving bills. Pushing the switch from federal to state control most strongly is the national farm ’bureau, one of the most powerful lobbies in Washing ton, on the grounds that the soR conservation program Would ac- compRsh more under state author ity. The federal program has not been as effective as it should be so far, the farm bureau contends. But op ponents of the transfer counter with the argument that the states lack AID BURDEN: Taft’s Plank Sen. Robert Taft, Ohio’s G.O.P. aspirant to the White House, started off another campaign jog around the West by offering a thoroughly RepubRcan message calculated to appeal to a large portion of the western voters. The United States cannot aRow its foreign aid program to jeopard ize freedom at home, he said in Chicago, his first stopping place. “We should not be actuated by purely altruistic desire to improve the condition of a lot of other people who have faRed for centuries to do the job themselves. “We want peace a n d p r o s p e r ity thro u g h o u t th e world to eliminate a threat to our own freedom, but it is certainly not worth while to adopt a TAFT foreign poRcy so burdensome on our own people that it wiR destroy at home the very freedom we are try ing to protect.” There was expressed a major plank in Taft’s campaign platform: Careful control of the foreign aid program in the pre-eminent light of how it may effect this nation’s do mestic economy. Also, it was consistent with his activities in congress where he has been making that theory felt with regard to approval of the MarshaU plan. U. N. PLUM: ! To Europe Decision on where the United Na tions wiR hold its 1948 assembly meeting wiR mean that some Euro pean city wiR get a healthy, 50- miRion-doRar plum tossed in its lap. Because the choice of a site for the coming meeting probably wiR involve that much money there is a considerable ferment of anxiety in the cities of Paris, Brussels, Geneva or the Hague, principal contenders for the honor. Trygve Lie, U. N. secretary-gen eral, just back from a tour of Euro pean cities, has made a factual re port without actuaUy recommend ing any one spot. He did, however, narrow the field down to those four cities. The 57 member nations of the general assembly decided at last faR’s session to hold the 1948 parley in Europe, possibly to get away from the scene of their erstwhRe rather futile efforts. experience to handle the project satisfactorRy. Currently operating under an an nual budget of 39 miUion dollars, federal soR conservation service has 10,500 persons working with farmers, helping prepare conserva tion plans which the farmers may accept or reject. So far it has prepared conserva tion plans for 476,128 farms cover ing 131,855,608 of the country’s one billion acres of farm land. SCIENCE STILL TR YING Plague Struck 600 Years Ago It was 600 years ago, in 1348, that the Black Death swept ravenously through Europe, kiUing about 25,- 000,000 persons, to take its place as one of the greatest calamities of aR time. Historians estimated that by the end of the century the Black Death —bubonic plague—h^id killed one- fourth of Europe’s entire population. In China another 13,000,000 died in an outbreak of the disease at about the same time. Even to this day the seeds of bu bonic plague are scattered through out the world. Since 1898 it is esti mated that more than 12,OOOjOOO per sons have died of it in India. Authorities don’t know where or when the plague first began, but some say that epidemic disease mentioned in the Bible can be con sidered “true plague” and traced through history to 1320 B. C. It is believed to have started in lower Egypt,- and in a few centuries “spread to the ends of the inhabit able world.” The black rat of Asia, which car ries bubonic plague, probably was introduced into Europe by returning crusaders in the 12th century. They would have multiplied sufficiently to be noticed in Europe within a cen tury, and history books say they ap peared at that time. It wasn’t until around 1900 that it was definitely established that the black rat harbors the disease. The rat is bitten by a flea; the flea then bites a man and transmits the' plague to him. In one form the disease even may be communicated between humans. According to the U. S. health serv ice, plague among rodents exists in many places in the world today, in cluding a great part of this country. Outbreaks have occurred among hu man beings on the west coast, and rodent plague hds been reported as far inland as Kansas. However, offi cials do not fear any outbreak of the Black Death in the United States. Medical scientists recently have discovered that the sulfa drugs are valuable in treatment and beReve that the new drug, streptomycin, may prove so also. New and more powerful flea and rat kiUers, includ ing DDT and the poison R-1080, are proving extremely effective.

Well, the general letting down of bars against gambling in this coun try won’t result in any upbuilding of character, but since everybody is taking a chance on something, it is hard to frown on the idea of hospi tals benefiting.

L. Whalin, University of Illinois. What was true in Illinois was true of farm soils in numerous other Midwestern states. Approximately 3,300,000 tons of ni trogen were removed from the soil in harvested crops in the 1942-46 period, Whalin points out. But only about 1,500,000 tons of nitrogen were returned to the land. This replace ment included nitrogen in fertilizer applications, plus 60 per cent of the nitrogen in legumes harvested and in sweet clover turned under. The supply of other mineral ele ments was seriously depleted. Whalin estimates that only about half of the phosphorus taken from the soil was replaced. Less than one- thirtieth as much potash was added through commercial fertilizers as was removed by harvested crops. “This heavy, drain on the soil’s mineral supply,” says Whalin, “has reached the point where crop yields on many soils definitely depend on the amount of minerals applied. Ma- nure, inoculated legumes, phosphate and potash are required, will main tain and even increase yields or most soils.” Carrying out such a program, he adds, calls for use of lime on mucb NEEDLECRAFT PATTERNS soned with one cup butter, salt and pepper.

Mkaasea Wages and Baskets A real basket of food, according to the American Federation of La bor, is a good unit to use in meas uring income. That is, how many baskets of food will your wages buy? The Federation’s "Monthly Survey” for July has put together some interesting figures comparing wages in America in 1940 with wages in Europe in 1940. These fig ures are in terms of baskets con taining items for adequate nourish ment. An American family of five would need about four of these bas kets a day. One hour’s work by a factory worker in the United States in 1940. according to the A. F. of L., would buy 2.83 baskets. In Britain an hour of work would buy 1.26 baskets. In France, 1.11: in Germany. 1.02; in Italy, .65: and in Russia, only .40. This means that the American worker could buy with his wages seven times as much food as a Rus sian could with his in 1940. Measure of Freedom These figures are in keeping with personal observations in Europe in 1936 and again in 1P4S. The amount of food a worker couid buy with his w'ages was in direct proportion to Qie amount of freedom that a work er enjoyed in his own country. Rus sia had the least individual free dom and the lowest wages. Amer ica had the most freedom and the highest wages. More than 20 years of Commu nism id Russia, under a totalitarian state which owns and operates th't tools of production, has failed to change the ratio in comparison with America. The “Monthly Survey” is right when it comments that his tory has proved that “free enter prise under a democratic form of government provides the highest living standards for workers.” Workers are becoming aware that their best opportunities lie in pre serving individual opportunity— freedom to own property and to cre ate and operate an industry or business. Threats Today I fear, however, that the Amer ican public does not understand some of the threats being made upon this very essential factor in the American way of life. I am interested in seeing industry pav the highest possible wages. Amer ica must continue to provide the best for the most. But I see dan gers threatening the very things that enable Americans to buv more baskets of food than the workers of anv land. 1. High taxes are cutting off i*> vestment of re - vc-ture capita! This will prevent e x ra n rin -. and growth. New tools and new indus tries will not be available to provide jobs. 2. An extravagant federal budge! continues to spend and to create in flation. This restrains men from venturing and investing. 3. Industrial relations are un steady. This instability again makes capital afraid to venture. Way to Confidence Taxes must be lowered enough that the ordinary man can keep a larger percentage of his earnings, and so that men will be inspired to invest and venture into business enterprise. We need to overhaul the federal budget, to get rid of wasteful and inflationary govern ment spending. We need firm but friendly industrial relations. If these things were achieved, they could do much to preserve the essential ingredient of our system of high wages and high standards of living in this land et the free.

We might send her food and money till doomsday, but it world only ma'-o America poor and would not make Europe rich. Europe must under- stand that the problem of rehabili tation is her own problem, first oi all, and not entire!'- ours. We must try to re-educate Europe in the prin ciples of American enterprise and initiative Hard work and self-de pendence are among those first principles. Europe needs production. We can supply machinery on the basis that it may be paid for with goods pro duced. We can keep down our trade barriers and buy from Europe. Only in that way can those nations get on their feet and buy from us. There are definite ways to help war-torn Europe without imposing the seri, ous injury of continued, outright aid. The sooner our help gets on this basis, the better for everybody. S M GEORGE S. BENSON Presuimt— Harding CoUcgt Searcy. Arkansas Communism, Again Things have not been going well in France and Italy. Press reports speak increasingly of Communist- inspired rioting. These riots, in which people are being killed and many injured, are in perfect keep ing with the well known methods of the Communists. They work with peaceful ways until they think they are strong enough to win with vio lence—showing their real colors. When I visited Communist head quarters in Paris last year, it was clear from their own talk that they were building upon hate. Events that have come to pass therefore are not swnrisine. Where the indi' vidual is not respected, violence may be expected. (Most of the hatred, destruction, and chaos still stalking the earth may be. laid at the door of those bitter and false philosophers who have denied hu man rights and liberties! Misuse of Labor Of such is Communism, both in theory and in action, hi the recent French elections, when the de Gaul- lists (anti-Communists) gained ground, the French Communists were ready to go into action. They had gone as far as they could by peaceful action, so the Communists used violence to take the great port city of Marseille. American and British flags, hanging in Armistice celebrations were torn from the city hall. Confusion was rampant. Communist-led unions in other cities began to go out on strike, to add to the confusion. Coal miners and auto workers struck. The Com munists have called for “commit tees of defense,” to resist the peaceful election victory of the fol lowers of de Gaulle. France con tinues to call up soldiers, anticipat ing continued trouble. Civil war could develop. It is noteworthy that French Com munists hold labor captive. So pow erful is the Communist-led Trade Union-Central committee, that ap parently whenever it says so, a gen eral strike is begun. It is a pity that, as desperately as France needs peace and production, its workers are misled into contributing to the political chaos. In Italy, the Com munists also failed to win an elec tion and adopted methods of vio lence in an attempt to start a civil war. What Agitators Want These things are not surprising. They are just the ordinary, well- established tactics of the Com munists. But to Americans, thesd •events must serve as warning. If we want to preserve peace, har mony, and prosperity, we should keep our own people well-informed. When Americans see through these tactics with understanding, it will be impossible for us to have enough Communists and “fellow travelers” to create such violence in America. We should pay attention to trends, lest we give our Communist agita tors the assistance they want: I. Regulations on industry that would limit production and add to short ages of goods. 2. High taxes of a nature that limit capital flowing into tools of production, to make it ap pear the government should produce goods. 3. Industrial confusion, creating misunderstanding and sus picion between workers and employ ers. The agitators just love those things! fairy Tales tor Grown-Ups Ever hear of grown-ups believing in fairy tales? Well, perhaps not Cinderella or Jack and the Bean stalk. But when it comes to the eco nomic “facts of life," it is amazing what some folks will accept instead of facts. One tale of economic nonsense, usually going the rounds, has it that industry is rolling in money and making exorbitant profits. Usually, industry (erstwhile known as “big business” and "bloated capitalists”) is the villain. These uncalled-for profits are literally squeezed out of the consumers and the workers, and piled up somewhere by the “soul less corporation,” like so much gold guarded by a fire-breathing dragon. We could go on. But see what I mean? It is high time somebody got a true-to-life story started that shows what our system of free in vestment and free enterprise has done for the people bf this country. How Much Profit? National polls, not too long ago, found workers thinking generally that business makes from 25 to 50 ’ per cent profit. Surveys among la bor union members have found the workers thinking that 10 per cent profit on sales would be about right. Even a government booklet pre pared for veterans says "A busi ness . . . should make at least 10 per cent profit clear.” Well, fairy tales to the contrary, one statistician shows that actually business makes on the average only 2.9 per cent profit on sales volume. Some businesses make less and some make more. In 17 years of sales, the Republic Steel Corpora tion has made 2 per cent on the company's sales to customers. Gen eral Electric has figured its aver age for 30 years at only 8.9 per cent. You see, it just so happens that industry gets far less than the 10 per cent that everybody seems to think would be fair. Best Incentive. But we have been taking a lot for granted! Nobody has shown, fairy tale fashion, why it would be so bad if industry were making a bet ter profit. Actually, nothing would be bad about it; It is good for the welfare of the nation, for the con sumer, for the worker, for every body if industry makes a good profit. Only if industry makes, a fair profit, can we expect plant expan sion and more jobs. Republic Steel, already men tioned, divided each dollar that it had for owners and the workers in 1946. The workers got 91 cer.ts. The owners got 4 cents in dividends, and 5 cents was plowed back into the business. Witliout profit there's not a chance for good wages to con tinue. Without dividends, there’s no attraction to new venture capital. New investments are important to the welfare of everyone. We need' prosperous industries. Yet, who wants to invest hard-earned dollars in. a business that can’t make a profit? Active production lines, in industries that can show a profit, are the basis of America’s prosper ity and high standard of living.»«.•*4 4. «im> LOOKING aAffEAD GEORGE S. BENSON Prtsidext-JfardiKf Cetttft Startf. Mkaxsas What to Do About It There is one way, and only one .way, to avoid a serious depression, and that way is open to the Ameri can people. Responsibility rests firmly upon each of us, no matter what may be our economic status or individual social background, to choose out this proper course. There is no way to go, if we should face into a depression, except toward hard work and the high productiv ity of industrial peace. That’s the formula that will en able us to weather a business reces sion, provided we begin to use it now. Wg. must all tighten our belts, get our feet on the ground, and go to work just as hard as we can work. A greatly increased measure of productivity per man-hour is the best answer to the present situation that can be thought up. Down With Prices With increased productivity, with an honest hour’s labor given for every hour’s pay, we could see a considerable lowering of prices. In deed, with genuine whole-hearted cooperation from labor and indus try, it would be quite possible to increase output as much as 40% generally. This should be enough to bring about a general 25% reduction in prices. This could be done with our present labor force and without increased working hours. This would in fact bring prices down until it would be equivalent to an increase in wages. This is the one sound answer to the present threat of "a depression. Such ,answer would also give us hope of regaining our foreign markets, which have had little attention paid to them since the war. Wisdom of a Sage The importance of this thing prompted Bernard M. Baruch to state recently that the whole post war world would “get going only if men work” and to come out for a 514 day, 44 hour week. The seriousness of the problem we face is such that we may be able to save civilization if we accept the challenge, Mr. Baruch said, adding that this would mean greater effort than that ex erted during the war. In proposing a 44 hour work week, “with no strikes or layoffs to Jan- uary I, 1949,” as a means of in creasing production, Mr. Baruch recognized our present tendencies to put limitations on our work. He emphasized that a way must be found for production to flow smooth ly. This achieved, then a "sense of security would return to worker and employer, and the .reaction upon the economy of the world would be deep and lasting.” Heads Together The sage Mr.. Baruch has more. "Until we have unity, until we straighten out and solve our prob lems of production, and have inter nal stability, there is no basis on which the world can renew itself physically or spiritually,” he con tinued. If labor and industry would put their heads together, come to a realistic solution of their problems, shake hands across the table and go to work in earnest to whip this threat of immediate depression through maximum and whole-heart ed production, then an one would have anytiiihg to feat.

Be An “Engineer in Good Eating”—Do Home Canning! Simple lflstriictions Basel 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 15 years’ work, but his methods and equipment have been greatly im proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not until 1860 did Louis Pasteur estab lish the fact that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage, Four teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore, invented the “retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined 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 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, \ LET US DO I YOUR JOB PRINTING We can save you money on your ENVELOPES, LETTER HEADS, STATEMENTS, POSTERS, BILL HEADS, PACKET HEADS, Etc.

''W hat is the difference be tween cards and other games?” It is said, “ A game is a game; and if it is all right to play dominoes, why not cards?” There is a vast difference. W ater and whiskey are both drinks, but everyone admits that there is a difference between them The following facts show plainly the difference between cards and all other games; for these facts are well known to professional gamb lers. They admit that the Bible and cards are antagonistic, and will not play cards with the Bible on the table.

A Grim Prediction From a recent story in the news papers we learned this iuformati.rn: "T he worst wave of strikes in the country's history was p*edicted for this spring and summer in a statement adopted at Miami by the executive council of the Amer ican Federation of Labor. Amer ica is now experiencing a lull be fore the storm ,’ the leaders of 7,200 000 unionized workers waan- ed. ‘When Die«ent collective bar gaining contracts expire, the roost difficult period in the history of labor relations in this country ihre atens to ensue.” ' , That cettainly doesn’t sound very encouraging, does li? How", ever, chances are that the pred iction will come true. W orkers wi'l go on strike be cause the cost ot IiAing has risen so sharply during the last few months. Thev claim that they must have more money. They go on strike. They are successful in getting what tbev want. And then what happens? The prodnc-rs and manufactur ers are compelled to raise the p'i- des of the articles they produce or manufacture. The retail .merch ants do the same The cost of Iiv ing goes up some mo'e. And what happens then? Other strikes, of course.

READ THE AD$ Along With the Newa 1 We Break Our Sword Charlotte Observer The Comtniitee of southern Gov ernors who called on Democratic National Chairman J. Howard Mc Grath have made their gesture of conciliation. They were rudely re buffed by the national leadership of the Democratic party. As a result, they and the people they represent are under no further moral obliga tion to the lesdershipthat has made the party*no longer recognizable as the one to which they for de cades gave an almost lansr'ical loyalty. The reasons for loyalty to the present leaders have disappeared It was based upon the ancient Dc- inocra'.tc tenet that this prrtv aloro stood between the South and the more radical forms of- the Recon struction. That party alone oad given ,the tacit pledge to refrain from trying to destroy the social svstem of the South by means ot force imposed from without. That party bad consistently recognized the constitutional princip’e that the s ates were stilisovereign, that tho- had undisputed authority o\er their tvn electorate and implicit poiict powers within their borders. The position of this newspaper from the beginning has been that the civil rights program ot Presi dent Truman is not a race-rclatn ns iisue, because the South has by its own efforts practically eliminated iynchitigs, and because an intellt gent.segregation is the product ot nearly three generations of ex-er knee ot the two races in finding a means of living together. Our race relations are not p e .ttc , hut they are being improved year by year as fast as the changes can be absorh ed by our social system, A sudd: 11 and radical departure from th s steady progress would be harmful to both races and particularly,. to the Negro. The issue, then, is not tace re lations, bnt the constitutional prii eiples that delimit ■ the powers of Federal and S ute governments The present Dem> c atic leader ship has deserted those principlts and in so doing has destroyed tht only reasons the South had for fol lowing them. The bond of loyalty is therefore dissolved, and the Gov ernors wbose committee presenter a dignified pe it ion for redress of grievance that was flatly reject el can now, in the name 0 the South, break their swords iu two and lay the pieces at the feet of their for mer chiefs. It was only after a session of painful soul sear, hiqg that tht- newspaper came to the reluctant conclusion that the South has mi choice now but to repudiate tho-e leaders, to call upon the Democrat ic party to return to its original principles by rejecting the nomina tion of H arry Truman at the na tional convention, and to nominate a man who is more trulv represen tative of the party as a whole and ts iess inclined to sacrifice the in- teres's of the great body of Demo crats in order to court the fav >r of a few splinter groups that happen to control a block of strategic votes. It behooves our Governors and members of Congress, therefore, and ail other Democratic leaders in the South to begin now to de vise means of throwing the whole strength of the touthern vote in the national convention to another candidate and to gather to the sup. ’port of that candidate as many del- ' egations from other slates as can ; possibly be mustered.

DREW The Economic Front WASHINGTON. — When news oi the stock and commodity market break first reached the White House, President Truman was deep ly concerned. He felt it might start wholesale dumping of securities by frenzied investors, which in turn might touch off an economic de pression. j However, after the council of eco nomic advisers had surveyed the market and reported to him in de tail, Mr. Truman told one close ad viser: “I am now glad it happened — for two reasons. First, we scared a lot of speculators out of the grain market, and, second, prices are coming down to a level where they will be gov erned more by the law of sup ply and demand. That’s where they should be.” The White House economic sur veys show several significant things. Most important to the housewife is that the somewhat hysterical re ductions in retail prices are the re sult of grocers’ psychology. Actu ally, cheaper raw commodities couldn’t possibly be passed down the line to bread and meat for sev eral weeks. However, grocers have been scared into price reductions by headlines and the threat of competi tion. They are gambling on lower prices in their next wholesale ship ment. Also the stocks of food on their shelves have increased—due to high prices and the fact that the housewife has simply cut down on her buying. Another significant factor is that the stock market has remained fair ly stable compared with the com modity market. In other words, commodities were price-heavy and toppled. Presidential economic advisers have reported to Mr. Truman that there is little likelihood that the break in commodity prices will spread generally to industrial prices. One cause for the commodity break was the flood of wheat which farmers sent to market after January I. They had been holding back (I) for higher prices and (2) for income-tax reductions. Since both Republi cans and Democrats have come out in favor of tax reductions, farmers felt it was safe to let their hoarded wheat go to m ar ket. A lot of them let loose at the same time, hence the del uge. Another reason for the grain-mar- ket decline is the law, recently passed by the Republican congress, requiring the administration to hold 150 million bushels of grain in this country as protection against future crop failure. With the prospects of a good crop, this 150 million reserve bushels is bound ter have a depress ing influence on grain prices. In brief, Mr. Truman’s advisers have informed him that the com modity nose-dive is more likely to avert rather than cause a depres sion. Commodity prices, formerly resting on empty clouds, now have come back at least to the mountain peaks. G.l.s’ Best Friend Kindly Gen. Omar Bradley, known as the G.I.’s best friend, had a birthday anniversary re cently. He was 54. As Bradley just had been made chief of staff, top brass of the Pentagon building were in some thing of a twitter as to who would be invited to the general’s birth day party. As time at the party arrived, the mystery was easily solved. Those invited were the clerks, secretaries and enlisted men who worked in Bradley’s office. None of the brass hats was pres ent except for one man—Brad ley’s old friend, General Eisen hower. West Coast Shipbuilding President Truman was anxious to get those big shipbuilding plants on the west coast, idle since V-J Day, back into operation. However, he told GOP Rep. Dick Welch of California and other west coast congressmen that they ought to do a little missionary work with their own appropriations commit tees in congress if west coast ship building is to be revived. Congress, Mr. Truman reminded his visitors very pointedly, was the bottleneck—not the White House. “I’m wholeheartedly in favor of a government subsidy to en able west coast shipbuilders to compete with eastern builders, who have lower production costs,” the President said. “However, unless congress votes the money to pay the cost, there’s nothing I can do to get " these idle plants running again.” Democratic Rep. Henry Jackson of Washington reported that ship building costs in the East were from 6 to 11 per cent less than on the Pacific coast, due chiefly to lower material and labor costs. The most important reason the President wants to keep western ship plants in operation is defense. Seers Silent on Commodity Trend Myth of Current Price Dip: 'Truman Planned It That Way' By BAUKHAGENews Analyst and Commentator, WASHINGTON.—-It is still open season for economists, financial experts and market wizards. It took about a week after the first drop on the commodity market to send them into their holes. Up to that time, you could get a prognostication anywhere from the Chicago stockyards to Broad and Wall streets or Pennsylvania avenue and 15th street. But along about the sixth day of the dip, anybody who would tell you whether we were facing a permanent nose-dive or just weathering the flutter of a few yards of ticker tape was as rare as a vote against tax- reduction (that issue, itself, had changed after the sixth dip).The reason no expert would talk's*—-----------------—— ------------------------- was that all of them had been mak- duced to give a touch of verisi militude to an otherwise not-too- convincing narrative. The sooth sayers say that several methods were pursued, some of them successfully. For example, the President slam-banged at what he called the “gamblers” in commodities who were1 driving up food prices by speculating in grain and other futures. ; Baukhage ing wrong predic tions ever since C oolidge’s per manent plateau of prosperity of pre - depression days or Hoover’s corner around which prosperity was always duck ing. The most silent man in Washing ton was Secre tary of the Treas ury Snyder. He knew that too many people re membered what he and others had said two years ago last fall. Snyder, at that time reconversion director, had predicted that by the spring of the next year (1946) eight million people would be unemployed. In fact, so many others believed that that Henry Wallace, already dream ing of a home with white pillars on Pennsylvania avenue, decided to make “Sixty Million'Jobs” a comie- hither plank in his platform. He wrote a book with that title and it became a best seller. His book set a goal of 56,500,000 to 57,500,000 civil ians employed by 1950. But somebody must have stolen the idea or else they wanted to play a mean trick on Wallace—and on Snyder—any how there were 57,149,000 per sons employed in this country as of January, 1948 — two years early, and 10 months before presidential campaign time. Likewise, in October of 1946, sev eral astute Washington inside-stuff letter writers were saying privately to their thousands of clients, and the AFL monthly survey was saying in public print, that by early 1947 prices would come down. One could say on January of 1947, with consid erable accuracy, that there was a general agreemeht on recession be ginning soon and followed by more a little later. Other writers predicted it a little later, and some, by summer, were insisting that deflation already was here. But what happened? In the very year of that doleful proph ecy, prices started on the up- shoot that took them into their all-time high. Many other similar bad guesses might be mentioned, all of which contributed toward making the prophets reticent, and so when the slide came in February of this year, nobody would even whisper “fox” for fear that not even a kit would appear. They knew that nobody would believe them after all the without-the-wolf-wolfing that had been going on. In any case, this dip, drop, de pression or delusion, whichever it turns out to be by the time these lines reach print, or later, will have its garland of myths and legends entwined about it. The best myth, of course, is that Mr. Truman “planned it that way." The blueprint is simple enough if you are good at reading a blueprint between the lines. Prices were get ting too high. At worst, they might bring on a real depression' before election; at best, they would bring a series of strikes and work stoppages which might seriously hamper the Marshall plan onThe one hand, and add to the discontent of the-voters on the other. It would be like any operation, not dangerous from the surgeon’s point of view. Just a little amputation of credit, at least so said doctors who work on the body econ omic, which would let enough blood out of some businesses to cause a little unemployment. Enough to scare off strikes and make business men a little more cautious about expansion. There was some evidence that this may really have been intended because the President did ask in his November 17 message to congress for credit controls and increased bank reserves. However, when con gress said “humph” to that along with the President’s other recom mendations, he turned around and demoted the man who is said to have written the deflation prescrip tion from the chairmanship of the federal reserve board (Marriner Eccles), and put in a man supposed to have more sympathy with an op posite course. However we mustn’t spoil a good story by facts. There are other points which can be intro- That did open a Pandora’s box, and some of the plagues released alighted on the very rooftree of the White House. But it also threw a scare into the marketeers and the markets. Then came the day of a White House press and radio conference when the President made a remark -^credited at the time by some of his friends as an unhappy slip — when he said that if the cost of liv ing was not controlled, there would be a crash. That got headlines, frightened a lot of little fellows who pulled out their chips and, combin ing with other evil Jinns released from the economists’ Jinn bottles, did the trick. There are many others of these tales which will grow, such as the creating of sun-spots by the admin istration’s atomic-energy experts. But one is enough for the moment. Anyhow “it was planned that way!” T aft-H artley tssae Losing Its P otency There has been a lot of noise over the Taft-HartIey act lately, and on the surface it looks as if the law might become an issue in the presi dential campaign. If that should happen, it certainly would help the prestige of Senator Taft. But the old-timers say it can’t happen. As you know, last autumn, right after the act went into effect,! a lot of people felt its provisions would decide the votes in the bye-elections. But those elections came and went, and it was hard to adduce any sta tistics to prove that T-H had figured very much, if at all. Later on, animosity against the law died down. But now both the CIO and AFL have announced their preliminary plans for campaigning against the men who voted for it; Taft has used it in his campaign speeches in Midwest centers where labor is strong; Philip Murray was indicted under its provisions, and both Murray, representing the CIO; and the International Typographers’ union have charged it is unconstitu tional. But the issue still fails to command any real dramatic in terest. This is another proof of how a controversial issue that calls forth bitter debate and stirs up nationwide interest ,at the mo ment, can fade into the back ground as time passes, and by election day have little or no effect on votes. It is much like a fire that makes Page I because it breaks out just as an edition of an afternoon paper is going to press. It may get a banner on Page I if the news is light, but by the next edition, it may have shrunk to a single head on an inside page. Recency expands the importance of all events.

FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE . . . Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt presents the national achievement award, one of America’s highest honors, to the Dowager Marchioness of Reading, England, for her “distinguished services to her country which have been an inspira tion to the women of other countries.” NEWS REVIEW Aid for China Asked; Senate OKs Budget Cut Although it was obvious that his<> heart wasn’t in it, President Tru man presented congress, with a re quest for 570 million dollars to be sent to China as a prop for the foundering economy of Chiang Kai- shek’s Nationalist government. White House and state depart ment sources admitted that the re quest was something less than a half-measure and claimed that the President had acted under pressure from the Republican congress which has insisted that the U. S. must support Chiang against the Commimist revolution in connection with the European recovery plan. At best the 570 million dollars is a token gesture—just a chip in rela tion to the vast amount of timber that would be needed to restore the rotting derelict of Chiang’s govern ment. Theory behind this latest exten sion of aid, which will be used to finance Chinese imports of cereals, petroleum, coal, fertilizer and so forth, is that the money will enable Chiang’s government to free other resources for purchase of arms and ammunition to continue the fight against the Communist guerrillas. But that is more of an idle hope than a valid theory, because the government forces, despite their American arms and equipment, are being bested consistently by the Communists. BUDGET CUT: Indifferent With little discussion and a good deal of outright indifference, the senate adopted a resolution to cut President Truman’s fiscal 1949 tiudget by 2.5 billion dollars. How much significance the sen ate resolution would have in the final analysis was questionable, in view of prevailing uncertainties which might affect both sides of the ledger. The 2.5-billion-dollar reduction would leave an estimated 10 billion dollars for tax cuts and debt reduc tion. Republicans, therefore, were feeling increasingly confident that an income tax slash of up to 5 bil lion dollars could be enacted. Brevity of the senate discussion and its lack of apoplectic oratory was in direct contrast to last year’s strident contest over the budget committee’s recommendation of a 6-billion-dollar cut in the 1948 budget. Democrats made no effort to block the proposed spending slash which had been recommended by the house-senate budget committee. It still requires house adoption. Biggest bug in the senate’? budget recommendation was the fact that it probably embodied a number of inaccurate estimates. Republican sponsors of the measure admitted that accurate estimates of budget needs were impossible at the time. Sen. Styles Bridges (Rep., N. H.), chairman of the budget committee, compared the estimates^ with "a pre-game guess at the final score.” But Sen. Alben Barkley (Dem., Ky.) called the procedure “a step in the dark.” IRELAND: New Premier Even to members of the Eire as sembly who had helped defeat him it was strange to see Eamon De Valera, premier of Ireland for 16 years, sitting quietly on the opposite side of the house as leader of the opposition. In his place as premier was John A. Costello, former attorney gen eral, whom the assembly had voted into office after a new six-party co alition had taken control of the leg islative group as a result of the previous elections. Costello, in a dignified speech to the assembly, explained his sudden emergence as premier of Ireland: “I consented to this nomination at the request of a number of parties who felt that the interest of the country required that there should be an inte'r-party government and that the premier of that govern ment should occupy a position in political life detached from the con troversial bitterness of the past.” The "in ter-p arty government” whose choice CosteUo was is com pounded of six political parties of apparently divergent ideals: Re publican, United Ireland, Labor, Na tional Labor, Independent and F arm ers...................- Just how long a government made up of so many diverse com ponents would last was the subject of much speculation in Ireland. In their present cooperative mood the parties of the coalition may carry on for a year or two, but few were prepared to give the government a much longer span of life. CAT FEET: First a Dream Like the fog that “comes on Uttle cat feet,” Carl Sandburg, honored and honorable free-verse poet and voluminous biographer of Lincoln, was creeping into the senatorial race in Illinois. A hitherto almost imperceptible drive supporting Sandburg as a pos sible candidate for senator picked up considerable impe tus with the release of a pubUc opinion poU indicating that he might become a popular choice over t h e Democratic candidate, Paul H. Douglas, and the Republican candi- SANDBURG date. Sen. C. Way- Iand Brooks.

Don’t feel guilty about listening to the great and grievous trials of “John’s Other Schmoe” every day at 11:15 a. m., brought to you through the courtesy of Philbottom’s Ossified Sheep Dip. The news is now out that soap operas, as presented interminably on the radio, actually might do you some downright good. An anthropologist, Prof. W. Lloyd Warner, and a psychologist, Dr. William E. Henry, tuned in oh a daytime radio serial over a long period and arrived at the ponderous solution that soap operas are “of considerable value to our society.” The two scholars, consultants for a research organization which di rected the study for Columbia Broadcasting system, based their report on a detailed analysis of the serialized drama, “Big Sister.” Women being the chief listeners, it is they who derive the greatest benefits from these daytime dirges by having their egos bolstered and their spirits strengthened by hear ing stories of fictional women going through problems and experiences that parallel their own, the scien tists pointed out. “The basic and primary theme is that good and noble women who are wives and mothers are invincible within their own arena of life, the American family,” said the report. “Men, who * are superordinate elsewhere, are subordinate and de pendent (in the story) on the wis dom of the wife. This primary theme always triumphs over the second theme which runs counter to it—that family ties can be broken and a woman’s security threatened chiefly by the loss of the husband to other women, and, quite seconda rily and obliquely, by death.” Moreover, the social scientists said, the program, among other things, provides its women listeners with “moral beliefs, values and techniques for solving emotional and mterpersonal problems — and makes them feel they are learnina while they listen.” In brief, the report added up to a clear-cut spiritual and moral vic tory of the soap opera over its hard ened and blase critir- SPICEO BRAN MUFHNS TOPPED WITH NUTS Sumpln Special.. i and a Gncb to Mdhel Crunchy, toasted Kellogg’s All-Bran, with taste-tempting spices and nut- meats, makes these muffins extra- delicious! 2 tablespoons shortening Vi. cup sugar IeggI tablespoon I cap Kellogg s All-Bran % cup milk I cup siftedflour Blend shortening 214 teaspoons baking powder Vt teaspoon salt Vt teaspoon ginger OR I teaspoon cinnamon H cup shelled walnuts or pecans and sugar thor oughly; add egg and beat well.

LYNN SAYS: Remember These Facts About Yeast Breads Rising time on bread or rolls usu ally follows this pattern: Dough made with one cake of yeast and two cups of liquid will take three hours to rise. Each subsequent rising takes less time. Rising may be hastened by using more yeast. However, not more than two cakes of yeast should be used in the average recipe for fear of giving too much yeast flavor. Hardly anyone can resist piping hot pancakes with butter and syrup for breakfast. For those with sub stantial appetites and large caloric needs, serve pancakes often.

Sour, heavy bread is caused by too high temperature during the rising time. Crisp crusts on bread are made by brushing the top with slightly beaten egg white 10 minutes before the baking. This also will give a browner crust. Soft crusts can be achieved by brushing with melted fat just before baking. id. You need but read again the cord of Paul’s ministry in that Jportant city of Ephesus to be ,minded of how greatly he had rved them in the name of Jesus. «-! ,oved and honored! What a trib- r I l to the worth of Christian char- er! Wouldn’t you appreciate the >ute which they paid Paul as the il out yonder to which you strive? BS and girls of today may thus be ored tomorrow, if they will live Jesus as Paul did.... E POWER OF RIGHT LIVING AUL not only told the Ephesians - how to live, but illustrated day by day in his own life what he preached to them. The most elo quent sermons are not spoken, but lived. “What you are speaks so loud ly I can’t hear what you say.” The boy and man who plays the game straight are putting into practice what the teacher and preacher proclaims on Sunday. The power of right living will win its way today, just as it did in the . long ago when Paul witnessed for Jesus in Ephesus. It was not easy to live for Christ in Ephesus, nor is it easy to live for him in Chicago or Los Angeles or Boston or Miami, but it is the one way to ultimately impress the world of the reality of Christianity. * * * PAUL’S CONSUMING PASSION W E ARE what we are becoming, and never was this axiom of life more powerfully illustrated than in the case of Paul. “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus," Fhilippians 3:14. And in Ephesians 5:6-21, Paul reviews the qualities of conduct which produce worthwhile character, admonishing all Chris tians to strive for these qualities. "I live, yet not I, Christ Iiveth in me,” is another of Paul’s watchwords, and still again, “I can do ail things through Christ, who strengtheneth me.” It was the consuming passion of his life to embddy the teachings of Christ in his words and in his works. It is conceivable that the people at Ephekus had come to see Christ in the life of Paul,' and that his daily ministry in their midst convinced them that God was in Christ recon ciling the world unto himself.... WHAT AM I WORTH? THE question then emerges, What am I worth to my com munity? When I come to the end of the journey, will the people who know me best honor and love me for what I have done? I can see the people of Ephesus bowing on the dock at Miletus, kissing this weary old servant of the Lord. It is a beautiful scene. This tribute meant more to Paul than all the gold of Ephesus would have meant. It was compensation of abiding worth to him. And what is vastly more important, it was glory to God which must have evoked the praise of the angels about the great White Throne. * * * (Copyright by the International Connoil ol Religious Bdueation on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations.

For bread, use a hot oven for 10 minutes, then reduce to mod. erate for 40 minutes. t/XNN SAYS: Remember These Facts About Teast Breads ■ Rising time on bread or rolls usu ally follows this pattern: Dough made with one cake of yeast and two cups of liquid will take three hours to rise. Each subsequent rising takes less time. Rising may be hastened by using more yeast. However, not more than two cakes of yeast should be used in the average recipe for fear of giving too much yeast flavor. Hardly anyone can resist piping hot pancakes with butter and syrup for breakfast. For those with sub stantial appetites and large caloric needs, serve pancakes often. Or, use them to add variety to the breakfast pattern. Filling. I cup cooked, chopped prunes Yi cup sugar Yt cup chopped nuts I teaspoon cinnamon H cup raisins Mix together thoroughly.

Make this the day before, and toast for breakfast. It’s delicious. Released by WNU Features* Sugar is yeast food and it also gives flavor to bread. Too large amounts retard the yeast growth. Sour, heavy bread is caused by too high temperature during the rising time. Crisp crusts on bread are made by brushing the top with slightly beaten egg white 10 minutes before the baking. This also will give a browner crust. Soft crusts can be achieved by brushing with melted fat just before baking. On God's Word John., Wycliife, in the introduction to his translation of the Bible into English in 1380, wrote as follows: "When the teachings of the Bible are generally accepted and acted on, then shall we have a govern ment of, for and by the people.” Four hundred years later the Amer ican republic was established—the first great democracy—and it was successful because the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were founded on God’s Word.

Sunday’s lesson is a dramatic scene out of the long ago, picturing a com munity’s tribute to Iy great man, the apostle Paul. |d Acts 20:17-38, and you will the story. * * * D AND HONORED E first impression I get from [his story is the fact that these ile of Ephesus loved Paul, loved him enough to lay aside work and hasten to the near seaport of Miletus to see him the last time, and to bow down iis presence and honor him. iy did they thus love Paul? cause he had told them about id. You need but read again the iord of Paul’s ministry in that iportant city of Ephesus to be inded of how greatly he had [rved them in the name of Jesus, oved and honored! What a trib- to the worth of Christian char ier! Wouldn’t you appreciate the arte which they paid Paul as the I out yonder to which you strive? S and girls of today may thus be iored tomorrow, if they will live Jesus as Paul did. * * * E POWER OF RIGHT LIVING UL not only told the Ephesians how to live, but illustrated day by day in his own life what he preached to them. The most elo quent sermons are not spoken, but lived. “What you are speaks so loud ly I can’t hear what you say.” The boy and man who plays the game straight are putting into practice what the teacher and preacher proclaims on Sunday. The power of right living will win its way today, just as it did in the - long ago when Paul witnessed for Jesus in Ephesus. It was not easy to live for Christ in Ephesus, nor is it easy to live for him in Chicago or Los Angeles or Boston or Miami, but it is the one way to ultimately impress the world of the reality of Christianity.* * * PAUL’S CONSUMING PASSION \ \ T E ARE what we are becoming, * ' and never was this axiom of life more powerfully illustrated than in the case of Paul. “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus,” Philippians 3:14. And in Ephesians 5:6-21, Paul reviews the qualities of conduct which produce worthwhile character, admonishing all Chris tians to strive for these qualities. “I live, yet not I, Christ liveth in me,” is another of Paul’s watchwords, and still again, “I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me.” It was the consuming passion of his life to embo'dy the teachings of Christ in his words and in his works. It is conceivable that the people at Ephe-Sus had come to see Christ in the life of Paul,' and that his daily ministry in their midst convinced them that God was in Christ recon ciling the world unto himself. * * * WHAT AM I WORTH? 'T'HE question then emerges, What am I worth to my com munity? When I come to the end of the journey, will the people who know me best honor and love me for what I have done? I can see the people of Ephesus bowing on the dock at Miletus, kissing this weary old servant of the Lord. It is a beautiful scene. This tribute meant more to Paul than all the gold of Ephesus would have meant. It was compensation of abiding worth to him. And what is vastly more important, it was glory to God which must have evoked the praise of the angels about the great White Throne. * * » (Copyright by the International Council ot Religtous Education on behalt oi 40 Protestant denominations.

Ski SALUSTRI is back," Man- aging Editor Pepper Drislane exclaimed as he clicked down the receiver. Excitedly, Police Chief Lawton had just shouted into the telephone, “This guy is looking for Olood-don’t take any unnecessary risks.” In the editorial room of the Hart- Beld Herald, Drislane sat with his head in his hands and mournfully looked over his city staff—two old men and seven girls. “Thirty years in newspapers and this has to hap pen to me—a chance to make head line history and here I am saddled with a bunch of sob sisters.” The Salustri case had been spec tacular from the start. The self- styled big shot of the numbers racket had challenged repeatedly: There ain’t nobody going to pin a rap on m.e. This gazabo’s got protection all the way to the state house and back and don’t forget it.” But Jerry Cowan, erstwhile re- portorial star of the Herald, and Managing Editor Drislane chose to forget it to the tune of pinning a 20-year federal sentence on the num- Ders king. Then the slipup; while waiting for the train that would rarry him to prison, Salustri out witted the guards, slugged the mar shal and was on his way. With the news of his escape, Jerry and Drislane knew Salustri would be hack. The Herald’s constant and merciless headlines had galled the gangster, bored right into his pride. “Sure, he’ll be back,” the re porter told his editor, “and when he does, he’ll head for our office first.” That was two years ago. Now Jer ry was on assignment in the Pacific. Meanwhile, the managing editor kraited. Of course, he was jumpy; who wouldn’t be when each corner might turn into a hail of hot lead? And now the chief of police had passed the word that Salustri had bgen spotted in Bayside, just U miles this side of Hartfield. The maiiaging editor was dismal ly fingering the last cigarette in his squashed pack when Publisher Jim Geldhom came into the room. Drislane blinked his eyes and drop ped the cigarette—doggone, if it wasn’t another girl. Attractive and wall built, but still another girt Geldhorn hustled the young wom an over to an empty desk and hur riedly left. “On a newspaper a girl reporter isn’t worth the powder it takes to —to camouflage her nose,” DrisIane had exploded when the publisher unobtrusively attempted to install the last girl on the city staff. All I hear these days is ‘I’ve got an appointment with the hair- Iresser, the dressmaker, the buteh- ar, the baker—.’ These girls have an appointment with everyone but me and their work,” he ranted. “Is this a newspaper office or a sorority house?” Chief?’ said thin-pated, fiftyish Mike Bales, the paper’s only bache lor, coming up to the managing edi tor’s desk, “I’m going to hop down to Nick’s for a shave.” Generally Mike shaved every second day and today was a first. “Darn,” m u ttered D rislane, ‘we’re off again and it’ll take an other three weeks to see who is really queen bee of this hive.” The managing editor’s head was poked" under his desk in search of his lost cigarette when a pair of shapely legs approached. “Mr. Drislane,” he heard a fem inine voice say, “I’d like to be as signed to the Salustri case.” Abruptly, a hush fell over the Herald editorial room and light ex pectant reportorial heads poised over their typewriters as the man aging editor took several seconds to come up from under his desk. In the face of the gathering edi torial clouds, the new girl bravely continued with her request and be gan to . fumble with a gold locket which was looped around her neck. “The picture I have from Jerry—” she offered but got no further. The thunder broke loose and Dris lane hissed, his face purple, “On a newspaper, a woman”—he didn’t finish but resignedly collapsed in his chair. With effort he continued feebly, “Miss Whatever-your-name-is, go get a manicure—get a cup of coffee escape from the United States Mar shal’s office in 1943, was recog nized by the reporter as she walked through the barber shop to the beau ty salon at the rear of the building. Miss Hewes, upon seeing Salustri, continued through the shop and left by a rear exit and soon returned with a squad of police officers. “The reporter said that she had identified the gangster through his picture which she had carried in a gold locket given to her by her fiance, Jerry Cowan, formerly po lice reporter on The Herald and now on assignment in the South Pacific. “ ‘Having threatened the life of my fiance, Salustri was a potential The managing editor’s head was poked under his desk in search of his lost cigarette when a pair of shapely legs approached. —get anything. But for right now, just get.” As the girl hastily traced Mike Bales’ rapidly retreating footsteps, Drislane sighed, “Even Jerry Cowan away out in the Pacific is getting balmy. On top of all this, imagine his wanting to saddle me with his fiancee, some up-country jane who probably doesn’t know a dateline from a clothesline.” Gleefully, he pictured himself setting up ambush for the next time the publisher came in with another girl. After an hour of planting imagi- ary booby traps all over the news paper plant, the managing editor had mentally destroyed the pub lisher and all the girls on the staff a dozen times over. Just when he was halfway through his master piece of stuffing Geldhorn and the girls through the news press to be delivered as supplements to the 5 o’clock edition, Mike Bales with a face full of lather tore into the room. “Chief, Chief,” the reporter panted, “they just got him.” ‘“Just got who — when — where?” Drislane roared. “Salustri, at the barber shop,” said Mike, furiously shoving a piece of copy paper into his typewriter. “I’ll have the story written ,for'the last edition in a jiffy.” > I") OWNSTAIRS the presses were silent and waiting as the man aging editor’s pencil poised over the reporter’s scoop. “Nat Salustri, former numbers czar who escaped local police two years ago, today was captured in Nick’s barber and beauty shop on Main Street through the efforts of Miss Loretta Hewes, a member of The Herald’s editorial staff,” the story read. “The gangster, who has hidden from the police since bis spectacular Do a n s P ills * - b y Grace Noll Crowell TCAITH takes on the look of silver things: A A shimmering path at night across the ?ea* The points of stars* the' silver tips of wings, The white, still luminosity Of gabled rooftops when the qiooq shines down .

Melton (Caxton Printers . . . . $4) By Lyn Connelly. Here at last is an intelligently written book for adolescent boys, one of the best of its kind since the immortal Mark Twain penned that perennial favorite, “Tom Sawyer.” Tom Briggs is essentially a good boy, but because he takes precious time away from his daily chores to swim with his. chum, Johnny San ders, and because he dreams con stantly of the day when he might be a towboat pilot on the mighty Gasconade river, he is considered lazy and shiftless by his cruel step father and many of the town citi zens. You’ll share Tom’s frustration when, after he works hard to buy himself a small boat so that he can fish to support his family, his step father sells the boat and pockets the money. You’ll share his horror when his hunting rifle goes off acci dentally in the post office and he is accused by Mr. Pugh, the postmas ter, of having deliberately attempt ed to kill him. Despite his many handicaps, Tom proves through sheer perseverance and courage that he is capable of being a towboat captain. The story carries him from the age of 12 when he is in the dream stage, through the age of 21, when he makes his first cruise as a pilot. But long be fore the realization of his ambition, he earns the respect of his neigh bors when he clears Mr. Pugh of a possible murder charge of which only Tom knows he is innocent, thus proving that he holds no malice iq his heart for the postmaster who would have sent Tom to a juvenila home when he, too, was wrongly accused of a crime. The book is a joy for those loving the great outdoors. Mr. Melton, a prominent Missouri newspaper man, knows his subject well and handles it beautifully with the result that there emerges a book full of tears and joy, tenderness and adventure. New Uranium Discoveries Show Wide Distribution The world is expanding its known sources of uranium, vital mineral of the Atomic Age. Both newly independent Burma and the Union of South Africa have announced the discovery of exten sive uranium deposits, National Geographic society notes. These lat est finds are further evidence' that the atomic-energy ore is much mere widely distributed around the globe than popularly believed. Prospecting for uranium lodes is much simpler than searching for gold. The uranium can be detected easily by a scientific “divining rod.” Radioactive by nature, the mineral literally broadcasts its whereabouts in the ground. Forty years ago Hans Geiger,- a German scientist, invented the instrument which hunts out the hidden ore. I ? '?. Smiles Good Rule Alice—Do you allow a man to kiss you while out driving with him?

BENSON PrtsiieKl--JlardiHg College Seateg. Htlaasat An Echo Testifies President Truman recently sug- gested that price controls might have to be used to mee.t the present 'emergency. Here is a bit of his tory. It is an echo from government managed economy that keeps on testifying to the ill effects of govern ment managed economy. During the war the government kept prices of crude oil at an abnormal low. This column called attention to that fact then, indicating there would be a future shortage of oil. Wild-cat operator* and small companies find most of the new pools and sell much of the crude oil But prices during the war kept wild catters from buying adequate equip ment. It didn’t pay. Machinery aw wages kept going up, but the price |of oil was held low. Instead of buy ing new rigs for new wells, oil men removed old rigs from low produc ing wells that would have been kept in production if the price of oil ha( been favorable. How to Stall Industry There was less searching for new fields, because oil prices were s< out of line with cost of labor ar.c machinery. The risk was too offer, a losing proposition. This unwise control continued so long that a grave shortage developed in oil field equipment, in oil well pipe lines, and even in refineries. Now we are reaping the harvest. Many will gc cold this winter. Gasoline may be short in some areas, and industrial fuel scarce. One big operator said to me dur ing that period: “To help win a war I am operating present equipment at full capacity. But I am making only about % of I per cent profit on my investment. Consequently, I am not spending new money for ex pansion of my business. A man can’t risk his capital when there is only a chance of Vs of I per cent profit even if the venture proves entirely successful, and 100 per cent .loss it it fails, as many of them do in the oil business.” Sad Picture Now On November 12 Oscar L. Chap man, Under-secretary of Interior, told the American Petroleum Insti tute in Chicago: “We face critical times, critical for all of us, and for the competitive freedom of the petroleum industry. This winter for the first time in its peacetime his tory, the oil industry will be unable to meet the full needs of the Ameri can people.” The oil people may come through with another miracle as they did during the war. They may actually meet the demand, even though this well-informed government offic'al thinks they cannot. I arn awfully slow to put a limit on what free men in a free country can do. But it must be said that the present threat of fuel shortage results from" the abnormally low price that gov ernment maintained on crude oil during the war and thereafter. The Danger is There This should underscore the dan ger of giving the government power to set prices. Even now, such power can be misused. It could happen that price control now might well obstruct the building of homes, hos pitals, and factories — five years from now. Free markets and free prices are the only sane controls. These have given America higher wages for workers, better income for farmers, and better living condi tions than any other system. Let us have the courage of good citizenship to keep freedom and do what we know we should do.

You just have to r k mi™ than it cost you. That is wlvt t'to''t means. And witho™’ the profit me tive, trade and ceunneree wonlt die. There are only two wavs that an economy may operate. In A - e m individuals own farms, stores, fac tories, and run them for the chi-; purpose of making enough pro-t In live on. The other wav is for gov ernment to own everythmg. operat ing all production Tnere1V for the purpose of feeding the peo-'e a- I supplying what it thinks are thcii needs. Compare the Two! The profit motive is the very fnuo. ■dation of our American way of life. It is the constitutional way in our country. It has produced more en thusiasm, finer cooperation, and a greater abundance of clothing, food, housing, and transportation than the masses of the people have ever known in any other country. The other k;nd of economy, owned and operated by the government, attempts to do away with the profit motive. Actua1Iy. it does-away with incentives, ind’vidi -l in’tiative, and efficiency. This Idid of eeoromy soon settles down to a “whst’s-the- use” status, offering only the barest necessit:es to its Pen-lIe. Russia is a good example of this. Russia has attempted to substitute other enthu siasms tor those of owning-property and making profit, but* s' e has found that whenever she wonted in creased industrial output she had to imitate some of the incentives that are so common in Amer'ca. Advance Agents? The very concepts of freedom of the individual spring from the BVe. Therein you will find the founds*'on for the freedoms and bberties that America has built upon. I am un able to explain why church lerdrr are willing to attack the profit mo tive. To do so indicates trrmonr’c:rc misunderstanding of the America- way of life, of our constitutional government, and the freedoms of the individual. Let us not confuse greed and sin with the profit motive. There is nothing un-Christian, nor anti-social, in fair and honest buying and sell ing and trading. One who is against the profit motive . is in reality opposed to ownership of property, for when the profit motive is taken away,, the right to own things must go with it: It is high time for some of our religious people to start thinking through these things. Do ing this, parhaps they would refuse to be used as advance' agents of limn and communism.

HriaHtas European Sketch A Midwestern acquaintance of (nine recently gave to a group of businessmen what he called a re port of “a roller skate trip over a very large subject.” Sterling Mor ton, Chicago banker and industrial ist, was reporting on a seven-weeks’ trip to Europe. His remarks seemed to me worthy of a larger audience. This recent trip, according to Mr. Morton, was no V.I.P. excursion. i(The Very Important People some times arrive at conclusions that have been planned by their hosts in advance.) Actually, Mr. Morton Tented a small French car and drove it 2,500 miles, talking to everybody along the way. Because he speaks French fluently, our Midwesterner was taken for a Frenchman when outside France, for an Englishman when in France—but hardly for an American at any time. Peacetime Damage In France, Mr. Morton reported the cost of living up ten times over 1937, with wages having increased six times. “How an elevator opera tor, for instance, can live on 8,000 francs a month is a mystery. Or how a laborer can be content on the official ration of 'two fifths of a pound of bread a day. Things are very much out of balance.” How ever, Mr. Morton sees France on the road to recovery, in a physical way. BUT: “France is cursed with government employees. There al ways were droves of them—now there are hordes! One former Maqui suggested the way to improve con ditions was to machine gun half the ‘fonctionaires’ I Even Senator Byrd doesn’t go that’ far! . . . French production figures are highly encour aging. If governmental^ expenses :Could be cut down, the printing of money stopped, confidence and pros perity would soon return.” Help Them Produce Of the British: “One can have nothing but admiration for . . . what they went through so steadfastly. That they should be afflicted, in peace, with a government which has done, psychologically, financial ly and commercially, probably as much damage, is a cruel tragedy. Only the miracles of socialistic plan ning, applied to a fertile island underlaid with coal and surrounded by seas teeming with fish, could bring about a situation in which the people are cold and hungry.” Cta loans and gifts: “I think it ■ would be pouring money down a ' rat hole to make any more loans ! to governments, yet I feel that we should, for our own sakes. help those who are willing to help themselves. My idea would be to make loans direct to private producers on very easy terms and for productive nur- poses only. . . -. We can’t stop Com- j munism by giving corrupt or inafii- cient or minority governments the means of remaining in office. “We can stop it by building uo the productive capacity of the threatened nations. . . . I doubt that Europe’s economy will be heaiti y until Germany agait is producing and consuming. . . . B:- itain, France. Italy, yes, Germany, mo—help them to produce again. Thot is the way to bring stability and peace.” What to Do About It There is one way, and only one way, to avoid a serious depression, and that way is open to the Ameri can people. Kesponsibility rests firmly upon each of us, no matter what may be our economic status or individual social background, to choose ,out this proper course. There is no way to go, if we should face into a depression, except toward hard work and the high productiv ity of industrial peace. That’s the formula that will en able us to weather a business reces sion, provided we begin to use it now. We must all tighten our belts, get our feet on the ground, and go to work just as hard as we' can work. A greatly increased measure of productivity per man-hour is the best answer to the present situation that can be thought up. Down With Prices With increased productivity, with an honest hour’s labor given for every hour’s pay, we coiild see a considerable lowering of prices. In deed, with genuine whole-hearted cooperation from labor and indus try, it would be quite possible to increase output as much as 40% generally. This should be enough to bring about a general 25% reduction in prices. This could be done with our present labor force and without increased working hours. This would in fact bring prices down until it would be equivalent to an increase in wages. This is the one sound answer to the present threat of a depression. Such answer would also give us hope of regaining our foreign markets, which have had little attention paid to them since the war. Wisdom of a Sage The importance of this thing prompted Bernard M. Baruch to state recently that, the whole post war world would “get going only if men work” and to come out for a 514 day, 44 hour week. The seriousness of the problem we face is such that we may be able to save civilization if we accept the challenge, Mr. Baruch said, adding that this would mean greater effort than that ex erted during the war. In proposing a 44 hour work week, “with no strikes or layoffs to Jan uary I, 1949,” as a means of in creasing production, Mr. Baruch recognized our present tendencies to put limitations on our work, He emphasized that • a way must be found for production to flow smooth ly. This achieved, then a “sense of security would return to worker and employer, and the reaction upon the economy of the world would be deep and lasting." Heads Together The sage Mr. Baruch has more. “Until we have unity, until we straighten out and solve our prob lems of production, and have inter nal stability, there is no basis on which the world can renew itself physically or spiritually,” he con tinued. If labor and industry would put their heads together, come to a realistic solution of their problems, shake hands across the table and go to work in earnest to whip this threat of immediate depression through maximum and whole-heart ed production, then an on* would have anytiijng to fear.

Simple Instructions Bsscd 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 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. Th* 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 withy 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.

WHAT CASD PLAYING DID FOB A SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS Rev. W. E Iwnbmir. Higb Point. N. C R4 The following story is told by J. Wilbnr Chapman, D.D., which every Sunday School teacher on earth should read and pass on to their pnpils: While a friend of mine was con ducting a meeting one morning, a tramp came in and said, “My father and mother used to sit in this pew. It is the first church I ever attended. My father was an officer in this church. Seven boys used to sit in this pew in the Sunday School class. .We had a great love and respect for our Sunday School teacher. Saturday af ternoon she invited us to her home, entertaining with music, eatables and a look over the lesson. After a while she was anxious to please us, and she taught us the names of cards. None had ever used cards. We became en thusiastic over it, learning different games. After a while we would not give so much time to the lesson, but she let us have more time for playing cards, and would show us some more tricks. After a while we were off in the cotton gins playing cards and not going to her home. Later we failed to go to Sunday School. Cards, cigar ettes, after a while a drink and gamb ling. We all at different times left our homes. Two of those boys have been hung, three are in state’s prison for life, and one a vagabond like my self. No one knows where he is, and if the authorities knew I was here I would be arrested and put behind the bars. AU I wish is that that teacher had never taught us to play cards.” After Patrolmen ■Raleigh —Hiehwav Pairnl Com. mtssioner H I. Hatcher said he had "no comment— no comment whatsoever- on the Rowan County Commissioners’ charee that ‘ some members” of the patrol are wasting their time with "harmless, trivial and technival. violations.” The Board o; Commissioners sent a resolution ta . Govern, r Cherry charging the natrol of Rowan coun ty with arresting “ large numbers of law-abiding citizens for nninten. tional, harmless trivial and techni cal violations of the moter vehicles law.” The repoin’inn contended th:-t the patrolmen “ while nsing their time for ihese trivial offenses, are neglecting wild, dangerous and ha. zardous drivers ” Thestatem ent requested that the G overnorofN oith Carolina “Je quire from the proper ufficUls thai the piesent good-for-nothing meth ods now being used by some patrol men be stopped ” The hoard ask ed that ■ those responsible be re quired to cam 1 ou their duties in a reasonable, sensible and intelli geut manner and not waste thei time on so manv trivial and haim- Iess violation - ’’ As a minister of the Gospel, a writer, a husband and father, and a citizen of the United States of Amer ica, I have many things to be thank ful for, and among those things is the fact that I never played a game of cards in my life. This makes me feel like shouting “HALLELUJAH!” Fve never seen anyone in the fifty- six years of my life that regretted never having learned to play cards, but you can travel the nation over and find people everywhere that re gret, deeply regret, the fact of learn ing the dangerous, treacherous game, and having idled their time away, and squandered their money as a conse quence. Just now I recall to mind a very brilliant, greatly talented man that was born and reared in the same community where I was born and reared. He was an expert card play er. Along with the dirty practice he drank whiskey. He could have made one of the greatest and most useful men on the American soil, whereas, e idled and trifled his precious time ind remarkable talents away, and a few years ago died in poyerty and ob scurity, just like he had lived, and went into the grave unprepared to meet God, so far as we know, “un wept, unhonored and unsung.” I doubt very seriously if he even has a little marker to his grave to show where his dust lies. He could have liv ed a noble, sublime life until the na tion would have mourned his depar ture, whereas, he passed away into the Great beyond unknown only to a few people, whose record no one ap preciates. How tragic! How sad and deplorable! Cards and liquor defeat ed him. Usually both go together. What people call “the innocent card game” is like a poisonous viper. In its fangs is the poison of various evils, crime, drunkenness, theft, murder, wreck and ruin. Multitudes of peolpe have found it so. I’ve never known a man to accomplish anything good, great and worth while that was and is an habitual card player. It takes the valuable time that he needs with which to study, work, rise and climb in life. It takes the money he also needs with which to live honestly, meet his expenses, and pay his way upward in life. It destroys his man hood and holds him down. It keeps him from aiming at something great, good, sublime and ennobling, and ' olds him from thus striving to at tain. It hinders him from laying good plans and having honorable, noble purposes in life. Absolutely. Anything hat is in direct opposition to God and the Bible, and to Jesus Christ and ’he Christian religion, certainly will '-eep one down in life, and will drag his lost soul to a devil’s hell. As men learn to play cards they eventually go into the dirty, damnable habit of gambling,, and that leads to crime, even murder, and to prison and to hell. Card playing is absolutely dirty business, regardless of who indulges in it, and whether it be in the barn with the cattle, horses and mules, or It Didn’t Vrork Repeal, we are told, wis in the interest of 'empprance, How has i* worked?

R U "Party Split" More Fun than a Fire Vandenberg Stock Surges . O 'OTTEST REPORT on the politi- cal battlefront is that Gov. Tom Dewey will swing his supporters to Sen. Arthur Vandenberg if Dewey gets caught in a convention deadlock with Senator Taft and can’t get the GOP nomination himself. Despite repeated disavowals of white ambitions, Vandenberg will have strong “silent” backing at the Philadelphia convention — particu larly among the so-called Willkieites in GOP ranks, most of whom now are supporting Dewey, but who are ready to swing to Vandenberg as their second choice because of the Michigah senator’s broad-gauged stand on foreign affairs. Those close to Vandenberg, however, insist that he does not want the nomination. Hie Michi gan senator, who will be 64 years old this month, feels the presidency would be too great a bnrden, although a re cent physical checkup showed him to be in good shape. Vandenberg also is upset about the health of his wife, who has been ill. Inside betting, however, is that Vandenberg probably can get the nomination, and that he will accept if a deadlocked convention drafts him. • • * Not an Accidental Job ALL XHE INNER-PARTY bitter ness against one Harry Truman has been brought to the boiling point by Henry Wallace’s thumping victory in the Bronx, and for the first time certain Democratic leaders have de cided that it is about time to look around for another 1948 candidate. Helping to spark the intense back stage discussion, Harold Xckes, the Old Curmudgeon, has pointed out something many people have for gotten — that it’s the exception rather than the rule for vice presi dents to be reelected. Out of six vice presidents who became presidents of the United States, only two succeeded themselves — Calvin Coolidge and Teddy Roosevelt. Four others were thrown out by their parties as unsuited to hold office further. Vice President John Tyler, who became president on the death of Henry Harrison, was dis carded'by the Democrats. Millard Fillmore, who entered the White House on the death of Zachary Taylor, proved to be a flop and was not renominated by the Whigs. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was almost thrown out be fore the end of his term, while Ches ter Arthur, who took over after Gar field’s assassination, was denied the Republican nomination to succeed himself. In other words, American histori cal precedent has recognized the fact that the vice president of the United States is usually a political accident and has treated him as such when it came to new nominations to the non-accidental job of president. * * * Grandstanding John L. IF JOHN L. LEWIS calls a coal strike on the excuse that his miners should get retirement pensions, it will be the flimsiest of all Lewis strike excuses. Unquestionably aged miners deserve a pension. But the real fact is that Lewis already has around SO million dollars paid into his welfare funds by mine operators which could be used for pensions. The miners’ welfare and retire ment fund out of which old-age pen sions would be paid has been built up by a royalty of five cents a ton, paid by the coal operators on every ton of coal mined. Actually there are two miners’ welfare and retirement funds. Fund No. I was set up when the govern ment controlled the mines and, based on a royalty of five cents per ton of coal mined, has received a total ol 25 million dollars. Out of this, 8 million dollars has been disbursed for disability payments and death benefits to miners’ widows. 5lie re maining 17 million dollars is being held in escrow. Fund No. 2 was established under private operation of the mines and by it mine operators pay 10 cents on each ton of coal mined. By June 30 it will contain 50 million dollars. This fund is administered by Lewis him self, plus Ezra Van Horn, represent ing the coal operators, and for a time Thomas E. Murray, a New York manufacturer, representing the public. However, d failure of Lewis and Van Horn to agree even on details caused Murray to throw up his hands in despair and resign. * Meanwhile, Lewis has not even agreed on a proper actu arial system for pensions such as that put into effect by any insurance company. Under the Taft-Hartley law no money can be paid out for pensions until such an actuarial system is established. Therefore, while Lewis has around 50 million dollars with which to pay ' pensions — once he complies with the Taft-Hartley law — he now is intimating that he will call a strike to get pensions for aged miners. * As usual, it is the miners who suf fer while Lewis and the operators make faces at each other. Schism of Dixie Democrats Could Wreck Party Hopes By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator, A political year may be pretty hard on business, international affairs and persons who expect congress or the President to take some highly important but controversial action which might scare away votes—but, if you can stand on the sidelines dodging the brickbats which each side hurls at the other, a political year is lots of fun. One thing that is as interesting to the casual observer as workmen excavating a cellar, a sandlot baseball game, a fire or a dog-fight, are the quadrennial “party splits” which threaten (several months before the conventions) to rend the big parties in twain. They usually end the same way—both splinters singing Sweet Adeline, and cursing the other Baukhage party in perfect harmony. On the surface the recent row be tween the southern Democrats and the White House looks like one of those affairs. There is no doubt that the south erners are good and mad. And by all their stand ards they have every right to be. So there is no telling what m ight happenl But the fact re mains that the Negro voters in the north can vote either Re publican or Democratic, just as they please. In fact, the colored popula tion really has more freedom than the rest of the electorate because it has no tradition of following a strict pattern. A Democrat, however, is he lives in the South and if he is to remain a Democrat; has to vote with the Democratic party, even if he does it with anger in his heart and tears in his eyes. Since the administration banks on this, we see even a presi dent from the southern state of Mis souri, defying the wishes of his friends below the Mason-Dixon. I am not questioning any of the supporters of civil rights and the Constitution from the President down, but there does remain the fact of the Negro vote, and there re mains likewise many a warm per sonal and political friendship which has to be subjected to a painful ordeal. The “split” is exciting to watch whether with Sweet Adeline or not. And if you look across the aisle, you’ll see some more splinters. Listen to this: . . . If Repub lican leaders in congress want to win the political confidence of both Republican and independ ent voters, they must stop try ing to sell the program of the National Association of Manu facturers as good Republican doctrine . . That wasn’t Henry Wallace speak ing. Nor Democratic national head quarters. That was Republican Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon. Morse assails “the conservative leadership” of his own party as vigorously as he scores re action in the Democratic party. I already have discussed Wallace and his third party “split.” There are those who think it of so little importance that it can be ignored. Some now are predicting that be fore the election, Wallace will be granted some concession, some ad vantage, and will come out for Tru man for president. I wouldn’t go that far, but I have heard the pre diction in more than one quarter. Republicans are supposed to welcome Wallace to the race, and to count on him to cut down the Democratic vote to some thing almost insignificant. Let me quote Senator Morse on that subject, as his words appeared in an article in the February issue of the Progressive magazine. Morse says that Wallace mustn’t be taken too seriously, but that he mustn’t be ignored either. He adds: “Let my Republican party never forget that there are not enough Republicans to elect a Republican president, nor enough Democrats to elect a Democrat as president. For tunately there are not enough fellow-travellers to elect Wallace.” “Splits” can’t be ignored, it is true. They are important because there is always the possibility that the splitters might find another Ted dy Roosevelt to lead them. That can’t happen often, though, and meanwhile splits are fun to watch. , n H K K 6Inside Info’ Exaggerated There has been remarkable inter est recently in charges that Wash ington officials used “inside infor mation” obtained because of their connection with the government to play the markets. The other day one highly-placed gentleman came to me in quite a stew. “Have you heard the rumor that I was being charged with playing the market on information I got from the White House?” he asked. “No,” I replied. “Who is doing the charging?” “That’s what I want to find out,” he sputtered. “Well,” I answered, surprised at his wrath, “you certainly don’t feel insulted by it, do you? Anybody can be charged with anything in an elec tion year.” “I certainly am insulted,” he came back, “not because my honor is being impugned, but it is an insult to my intelligence to imply that anyone who has been around Washington as long as I have would be such an ass!” When I first came to Washington, as a reporter, I remember there was a minor scandal on “leaks” that had been used for profit. The chief offender, however, was a pub licity man, not an official, and from the standpoint of business it proved a fine thing for him. As soon as the charges that he had obtained con fidential information and had passed it on to his client were made public he had a dozen offers from other big firms to get on their pay rolls. He did, but it wasn’t long be fore he left Washington. He didn’t get any more confidences. A lesser factor in the affair was a newspaper reporter. It was dis covered that he was on the payroll of a brokerage firm to whom h<* phoned anything he thought might, be of interest after he had written his story for his paper whose last edition had an early afternoon dead line. It was shown that the brokela paid him all of $25 a month. In the investigation it also was shown that while he knew what was news for a newspaper, the reporter had only the foggiest idea of what would in terest a broker as he probably never owned a share of stock in his life. He was duly fired from the paper, and suspended from the Press club, but nobody was too sore. They knew, as my friend in dicated, it was stupidity rather than lack of virtue which was Iiis chief sin. My own first lesson on the subject of Washington journalistic ethics was administered very tenderly by an Old Timer, my boss. My assign ment was helping to cover the Brit ish embassy early in World War I, before America had become em broiled. One night, my boss, who knew everybody in Washington, took me along to introduce me to the British commercial attache—I’m not sure that was what he was called in those days, but it describes his job. He talked with us quite a while, much more, freely than he would have conversed with me alone, fo? I was a stranger to him. In the course of the conversation, he mentioned that tomorrow, or next day, Great Britain would an nounce what amounted to an em bargo on American wool (Britain wanted to switch her buying to Aus tralia). The attache explained the background of the move in detail. When we were out on the street, my boss pulled out his watch and' remarked to me: “Now, if we were crooked, we would still have time before the markets close to make a lot of money selling short, wouldn’t we?” He didn’t have to explain further. AFTER the British had made their announcement, I was able to write a good “follow,” interpreting the move. That’s all any newsman gets out of “confidential” information, and all that 99.44 per cent of us ever expect. The same thing applies to govern ment employees. Those who act otherwise soon depart. I BEST DOG IN SIGHT. . . Champion Bock Ridge Nigbt Rocket, a Bed- lington terrier, was chosen best dog of the show at the annual West minster kennel club dog show in New York’s Madison Square Garden. The champ is owned by William A. Rockefeller of New ¥ork. N E W S R E V IE W Reds Assume Control Of Czech Government There were six days of crisis inO Czechoslovakia and then it was all over—the Communists were in com plete control of that nation of 13 mil lion population. The iron curtain came down with a muffled clang as President Eduard Benes accepted the resignation of 14 of his cabinet ministers after he had refused for a week to do so. Into power strode Communist Premier Klement-Gottwald who had led his party upward from a minority status in Czechoslovakia until now its members dominated every phase of the nation’s life and were pre pared to swing it directly into the orbit of other Soviet satellites. Wielding the club to keep the Czechs in line was Gottwald’s good right hand, Vaclav Nosek, minister of the interior, who controls all Czechoslovakian police forces. In Gottwald , Nosek. that powerful position in a Commu nist-dominated state Nosek was analogous to the mailed glove on the dictator’s fist. For what it was worth—and that was very little—aging President Benes had managed to keep at least a superficial appearance of repre sentative government by insisting that the government be composed of members of other parties of the national front which reinstated the Czechoslovak republic in 1945 when the Germans were being driven out. But it was a hollow, tasteless vic tory—meaningless in any practical application. The new government consists of 12 Communists (there were seven before), four Social Democrats, two Czech National Socialists, two Cath olic Peoples party members, one Slovak Democrat and two non-party men, Jan Masaryk as foreign min ister and Gen. Ludwig Svoboda as minister of defense. Bewildered Czechs finally knew their cherished republic had come to a grim end when loud speakers in Prague blared this announce ment into the night: “Reaction has been beaten. Go back to work and let us complete our tasks on the two year plan.” In Czechoslovakia’s ironic chro nology the surging wall of the Red tide engulfed their country just 10' years after the western Allies had sold the nation to Hitler at Munich in a tragically - selfish and futile effort to avoid war and save their own skins at the price of just one small Central European state. Reaction With the Balkans all tied up with a red ribbon the world began to wonder which small nation the Communist tide would engulf next. Some thought Finland might be the top name on the list, others wondered whether Austria, France and Italy might not be clamped soon in the Communist vise. There was general agreement on one fact, at least: That the Com munist coup in Czechoslovakia had forged perhaps the most vital link in the Russian chain intended to shackle the Marshall plan. In Finland and Italy, as in Czech oslovakia, elections were coming up soon and the Communists were out for victory. Finland, like Czech oslovakia, is ruled by a coalition government which has acknowl edged that the country must re main friendly with Russia. COLD CHICKEN: No Fuel Oil Campaigning 'politicians this year may have to eliminate “a chicken in every pot” from their lists of promises because there might not be enough chickens to go around. ■Reports from the poultry belt in the Midwest say that the severity of the fuel oil shortage is cutting into the 1948 baby chick hatch to threat en poultry and egg production this year. Thousands of farmers canceled chick orders for early March deliv ery because they couldn’t get oil for their brooder stoves. Iowa and the Northwest were suffering most from the situation, but it also was bad in Illinois and Indiana. The kerosene shortage has been severe enough to cause hardship in most of the,, poultry producing area. Some poultrymen were deferring chick deliveries until later dates, hoping that warmer weather would ease the tight oil supply. Officials of one large hybrid chick hatchery in Iowa claimed they needed six tank cars of fuel oil to get their 1948 production under way One 'of the most vociferous com plaints generally being made among farmers was that city consumers were using up all the fuel oil. FEARFUL: Hoof and Mouth Cattle, hog and sheep growers of the U. S. continue to live in the shadow of a fear that the hoof and mouth disease which has been deci mating livestock in Mexico for many months will spread across the border and affect U. S. herds. At a recent session in Chicago a joint committee of the cattle, hog and sheep raisers forwarded a plea to Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson to renew efforts to eradi cate the disease. Among other things, the stock men requested that these actions be taken: I Renegotiate with high Mexican * officials on plans for resuming the interrupted slaughter and burial program. 2 Immediate construction of a • fence along the present quaran tine line about 250 miles south of the U. S. border. 3 Build new beef, canning plants ■ in the “clean” states of northr ern Mexico and continue to run those now operating. H O W PRICES DEFLA TE Consumer Resistance Does It Those same forces which recently knocked down prices of food and other commodities in a spectacular outburst have been quietly at work all during the past year. Rising supply in a number of lines of goods has caught up with de mand, and in some cases it has bumped into demand and money supplies on their way down, accord ing to an analysis by the "family economics bureau of Northwestern National Life Insurance company. Poultry, eggs, potatoes, oranges, caimed fruit juices, certaip canned fruits and vegetables, preserves and jellies all have had little private re cessions of their own during the P ^ t year. By the end of 1947 the prices of most of these items either had leveled off or were actually below the levels of a year previous, the study says. In manufactured goods, the sup ply of small radios -recently has overflowed the level of demand, with prices skidding in many cities. Large radios are very close to cur rent demand, as are washing ma chines, stoves and deep-freeze units. As long as consumers demand goods despite rising prices, the study pointed out, the manufacturer will pay higher and still higher costs for materials and labor, rather than have his production shut down and his flow of goods to the consumer cut off. Retail stores buy his finished products despite higher manufacturing costs be cause they know their customers want the goods. But when enough consumers indi cate they will not pay increased prices, then manufacturers and stores stiffen their own resistance to higher prices of materials, wage boosts and the resulting price mark ups for the finished goods because it is evident that such further in creases will prevent the products from being sold. When demand falls off and meets rising supply, the result is a halt in ttie price rise and often a sharp downturn. Sometimes, consumers, merchants and manufacturers all decide that prices are going to keep on declining and therefore cut their buying still more all along the line. Downward price spirals usuallj start in that way, the study ob served. Decorative Window Box Adds Chaim to Home DROBABLY no other article adds A more to the appearance of your home than window boxes.

JicitOIOIllE TLOIIOI arm Homemade Weighing Bin Speeds Work Device Aids Aulomatic Feed Handling Setup It is an old saying that all farm equipment was first thought of by a farmer. Whether that saying holds true may be questioned. But it is certain that much of it did come into being as the result of ideas which some farm er had concerning ways to improve and speed up the performance of his various chores. A pertinent example of this fact is shown in the accompanying illus tration. It shows a homemade weighing bin, which was conceived by a Midwestern farmer for use with his automatic feed- handling setup. It holds several tons of feed and is fixed to the ceiling by a series of heavy springs and turnfihckles, one spring being located at each corner of the bin in the center of two turnbuckles. Tension on the springs moves a pointer across a scale at the bottom of the bin to indicate weight up to 3,200 pounds. A slide gate at the bottom of the bin permits feed to spill out into a cart in desired quantities. The bin IBL SPEAKS _ n ! M r ~ '^ntcmalionAl Unifcrm V ill i J i l J i n s nday Schecl Lessons H By LOUIE D NEWTON til HOUSEHOLD MZMOS Home-made “weighing bln/' built by Midwestern farmer. is placed below a chute leading from a two-ton mixer in the bam mow. The entire setup operates as follows: Whole grain is blown into an overhead bin, from which it flows into a blower-equipped hammermill on the first floor. Ground grain is blown back into the mixer and then drops into the weighing bin.' The mixer and grinder are operated by five-horsepower motors, whereas the whole grain is blown into the storage bin by tractor power. Automatic Egg Washer Prof. F. B. Wrigbt demonstrat ing the new egg washing machine developed at Cornell university. The device makes it possible for two persons to wash, dry and pack five cases of eggs an hour, five times as fast as the same jobs could be done by band. As most poultrymen and their wives spend from two to four evenings a week cleaning eggs by hand, this m i- chine will result in a big saving in time.' Formula Computes Feed Required for One Hen High egg production clearly takes more feed,-but just as clearly the feed brings a greater return in terms of eggs Uian the same amount fed to low-producing hens. Dr. L. E. Card of the Illinois experiment sta tion explains how to compute the total feed required for one hen for a year: Multiply the live weight of the bird, in pounds, by 8. Add 25. Divide the total number of eggs the hen lays by -7 (e. g. 105 divided by 7 equals 15) and add this figure to the total obtained by the first two steps. An example: Weight of hen—5 pounds. Five times 8 equals 40; plus 25 equals 65. Hen lays 105 eggs per year. Di vide this figure by 7. Result 15. Total feed required — 80 pound* (65 plus 15). Plowing Is Major Step In Garden Pest Control It’s sm art gardening to double- cfoss garden insect pests by late fall spading or plowing in prepara tion for spring planting. Plowing is one of the most important steps in insect control because it interferes with the natural and normal activi ties of the insects for living through the winter. Insects wintering above the ground can stand severe cold but not burying in moist cold so.il, and those below cannot live. Pass the Savory Chicken Pie. (See recipes below.) Chicken Favorites When you want to put variety in the menu, or combine interesting flavors or stretch the m eat nicely, the thing to do is to serve chicken. You’ll find chicken prices doing a favor to your budgets these days, and what’s even nicer, chicken can be combined with so many foods th a t give you nice substantial meals so ideal for cooler weather.

You’ll find the bits of leftover chicken go nicely into tarts, chow mein or tetrazzini chicken.

If you don’t have quite enough meat to make hamburgers, you can extend what you have with mashed potato, thus making potato burgers. Juice left over from canned fruit can be saved and thickened with cornstarch to make a clear sauce for desserts. Left over bacon or frankfurters can be used with hard-cooked eggs, chopped, and mixed with mayon naise for sandwich spread. Leftover sausage is excellent for flavoring vegetables or soups. SCRIPTURE Mark 4 26 29 Luko 4:16- 17 29 °l Romans 14 17 DEVOTIONAL READING Isaiah 60:1-31 1014 The Kingdom of God Lesson for March 21, 1948 Dr. Newton TESUS went back to his boyhood J home in N azareth , and on the Sabbath he went into the synagogue, “as was his custom.” They gave, him the Book of- Isaiah, from which he read a passage in the 61st chapter, add ing, “This day is this Scripture ful filled in your ears,” Luke 4:21. Jesus had come to let people know about God — to re veal the Father’s perfect love for all men. He loved the Bible, and was constantly reading it, which in his day was the Old Testament only. And he loved the Sabbath day, which we now call the Lord’s day. Beginning with his res urrection, the first day of the week has been observed as the Lord’s day. And Jesus loved the appointed places of worship, and was always found in some synagogue on the Sabbath. Don’t you wish you might have been in Nazareth that day when he stood up to read the Scrip ture?• • • WHAT HE CAME TO DO J ESUS, I repeat, came to reveal God to men, which is but another way of saying that he came to teach men about the Kingdom of God. Here we shall need to read Mark 4:26-29, and Romans 14:17. “The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed into the ground,” said Jesus; and Paul, in Romans 14:17, says, “The King dom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Jesus, then, came to establish a kingdom within the hearts of men. It means the rule of God in human hearts. What he wills, we gladly do. It manifests itself in the daily life of the individual, in the home, in the school, in the church—everywhere. * • * “THY KINGDOM COME” C O VITAL is this truth for the Christian that Jesus, in the pat tern prayer, teaches us to say, “Thy Kingdom come. Tliy will be done on earth as in heaven.” If we live in the atmosphere of this prayer, we shall embody daily the fruits of the coming Kingdom of God. U we really “seek first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness,” we lift the level of Ufe wherever we stand and serve. This is precisely what Jesus did. “He went about doing good.” We help to answer the prayer, “Thy Kingdom come,” when we do with all our might what our hands find to do—in the home, in the com munity, in the church. * • * KINGDOM OF GOD AMONG MEN TT IS not enough to consider, this I truth in terms of some far-off dramatic event. It is a present force and factor in today’s world. One day the Pharisees asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God should come. He told them that it would not come with observation— that it is within the hearts of men. What did be mean? I beUeve that he meant just this, that the Kingdom of God wiU and must manifest itself in the common af fairs of everyday Ufe. We may hinder its manifestation. We may retard its coming. On the other hand, we may make it manifest and hasten its spread to earth’s remotest bounds. How? By yielding ourselves to the rule and reign of God in every re lationship of life. In race relations, in social service, in relief to the afflicted, in united effort for peace, in better housing, in better recrea tional facilities, in educational op portunities for all. The Kingdom of God is not an impractical theory, but a working principle, even as the leaven works in the loaf.• • • WHEN WILL IT COME? fT lHE Kingdom of God will come when redeemed hearts every where enthrone God in their whole attitude and purpose. Then, and not until then. Will it come? This is a stubborn question. From our viewpoint, it may seem doubtful; but Jesus de clares that it wiU come. “I have overcome the world,” he de clares.' 9 The one question for you and for me, What part shall I have in the coming of the Kingdom of God upon the earth? We each decide by our willingness or unwillingness to fol low him. Swedish Schooner Lisa Of 1799Still Sailing Seas The Swedish schooner Lisa, built In 1799, claims to be the oldest sail ing ship still in service. At one period she was a slaver; now she carries cargoes like wood and ce ment. She was given an overhaul eight years ago, when her hull was still perfectly sound. The oldest steamer in Lloyd’s Register is about fifty years the Lisa’s junior. She is the Hsin Tai, built in -Russia in 1840 and now operated by Chinese Communists. TflKtlflXflTIVES?

If so, the first step is to see your doctor or come to your Health Department and make sure that you are safe from a disease that costs North Caro lina more than a thousand lives annually besides much suffering, loss of time, and a .tremendous amount of your money to main tain special sanitariums. Tuberculosis is a contagious dis ease. N o one is safe from infec tion. Between the ages of 15 and 44, it leads all other diseases as the cause of death. It has been a leading killer for centur ies. And the shame of it is that with your help and co-operation it could be wiped out entirely. In the early stages tuberculosis frequently has no symptoms at .11. If you wait until you feel sick; until you have a cough that won’t quit;.until you fee tired all the time; until you have pain in the chest; or until you spit up blood, you may have tuberculosis in advanced stages when it is harder and slower to treat and may require your life as the price of negligence. Tuberculosis in the early stages can be cured; and the sooner it is found, the less time and money it takes to cure it. The tuber culosis test is simple, and will cost you nothing but your time, j See your doctor or bring your family to our clinic. Office Hours Mocksville Daily: 9:00-5:00, Saturday 9:00-12:00.

SHELL, i JudgeBaileyLee I News was received here lastf week of the death of District! Judge Bailey Lee, 75, of Burley, Idaho, who died on March 1st in a Boise City, Idaho, hospital.

VfhyIShould Read My County Paper Beavey Leila Gaither, 10th Grade Student, Farmington High School. I should read my county news paper because it is a very interest ing and important force. The re sources for gathering news from a distance are limited. The personal items which make up a large part of the paper ap peal to me because I know many of those whose names appear. It appeals very strongly to many rea ders because of its interest in lo cal matters. Since the county newspaper is published weekly, I should read it to keep up with the latest news. It brings us clear, vivid, truthful stories of happenings at home and abroad. Some of the space is de voted to matters of real import ance such as advertisements, health and religion. In my county newspaper I find one important matter to be the adverii ements which contain the various articles the merchants of our town have for sale, and there are also other advertisements of different businesses. The health column in our pa per also tells us of what they are doing to prevent the diseases of our county. In reading my newspaper I also find another interesting part which is our Sunday school lesson for each Sunday. The material in the paper is or ganized according to subject, and is placed regularly in the same sec tions of the paper, so we can find our way through the pages with little loss of time. I find also the editor is a coun ty counselor who takes time to find out what is going ofi through out the community, and to . sug gest civic improvements. Vf. W. Garwood William W. Garwood, 75, a for mer citizen of Mocksville, but for many years a resident of Winston- Salem, died at his home in that city early Wednesday morning following a week’s serious illness. Funeral services were held at Central Terrace Methodist Church Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock, and the body laid to rest in For syth Memorial Park. Mr. Garwood is survived by his wife, three daughters and three j sons, one brother, John Garwoodj of this city, and a half-brother, of North Wilkesboro. Mr. Garwood had many friends throughout Da vie County Iwho were saddened by news of his death. A long time friend of the editor has gone to rest—a sincere Christian gen tleman. Peace to his ashes. W. C. Richardson, who lives in the classic shades of Eagle Mills township, Iredell County, was in town Tuesday on business. Mr. Richardson says the bad weather has put the farmers far behind with their work. There is much corn and cotton yet to harvest.

Are whale sharks vicious? 3. Has Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National park ever failed to erupt? 4. Because of the high U. S. birth rate, how many children will be added to the school population in the next ten years? ' 5. Why are some sand beaches The Answers 1. In a way, yes. Paul Nipkow invented the electrical telescope which led to television in 1884. In 1894, Marconi invented wireless telegraphy which lead to radio. 2. No. Whale sharks are gener ally indifferent to the-proximity of human beings. 3. No. Since its discovery in 1870 it has never failed to erupt, usually every 65 minutes. 4. Five million. Today’s school population is 18,200,000. 5.

He’d had’a yen for Top- ley’s back there on the desert wastes. He craved it as a cat would catnip or a homesick Eskimo, an Iceberg. And now, as he hurried his chunky form up the narrow street, the blue neon above Topley’s win dow blazed welcome in letters two feet high. Spence slid into a seat. He breathed, “Razzberry soda, please. Topley speciaL” He closed his eyes and envisioned a monument of pink and white.*. A girl’s voice, clear and soft, reached him. “Ras-bry soda,” she informed. “Without ras-bries.” He raised his head. Her eyes were warm 'and gray. An amused smile bowed her lips. “Without—” he faltered. Her manner humored his confu sion. But Spence didn’t see that. It struck him she was part of the soda. That the dream also took her in. He watched her scoop out a gob of ice-cream, drop it into a tail glass, squirt in a crimson syrup and heard the harsh gurgle of carbonated wa ter. The glass was placed before him. He placed his lips to the straw and pulled. Coldness luxuriously flowed over his tongue, daubed his palate, trickled down his throat and touched off revelations of delicious ness he’d almost forgotten. It evoked imagery. Lying face upward in a shallow mountain lake . . . elastic stars shimmering on waters above . . . night winds whispering of giant pines . . . drifting . . . drifting in a rowboat . . . and a girl beside him . . . gray-eyed and pretty . . . a girl like . . . and he looked up. He felt the impact of her presence. She said, “You enjoyed that?” Enjoyedl He’d known the price lessness of a cold glass of water. He grinned. “Hit the spot like a letter from home.” Spence expected a smile, but she merely picked up his empty glass with an efficient stroke of a damp cloth. He felt he’d missed the tar get, but wide. He rose awkwardly and plunged a hand into his pocket. His coin vibrated on the counter. A frustrated ring. The cash register crr-unged dis missal. Spence half-wheeled to go. In turning, his eye caught the tab, NO SALE! The'girl’s, hand swept to her blouse pocket. The clink of metal told him his coin had joined others. It was none of his concern, yet the act had been so brazen. He heard himself saying, “Don’t they treat you right, here?” Spence couldn’t make out her ex pression. “They do,” she answered succinctly. “I saw you pocket that money.” “So what?” her coolness Irritated him. If the owner caught you—” ‘There’s nothing he could do about it,” she began to straighten a row of glasses* before her. The ges ture tokened disinterest in his opin ions. More, it infuriated him. I wouldn’t have believed it,” he managed. Instantly he was sorry for her. He noticed that dark lashes rested on her cheeks. He realized also his heart was thumping and there was a quaver in his voice that he couldn’t control. “Why don’t you ask for a raise?” “I can’t—” “Then quit. Get another job.” A tall man loomed in the door way. He was thick shouldered, and muscles like Idaho potatoes bulged his arms, laden at the moment with two big paper bags. Spence glanced at the girl. Be neath her coolness, he thought he detected an undercurrent of excite ment. She said courteously, “Did you get everything?” The man shrugged his shoulders and laid the bags on the counter. “Yeah,” he grunted. “Exceptin’ powdered sugar.” His tone was gruff. He tore the bag down the center. Spence stared. There, tucked in between two packages lay a jar of blouse pocket. “I’ve got two new quarters,” she offered. “Swell,” he glowed with delight. He placed a fifty cent piece on the counter. “I just need about six more,” he said as she rang up the money, “and I’ll have enough for the kid’s birthday. Thanks a lot, Miss Topley.” Spence was up. He was past the threshold and into the street. A de taining hand touched his shoulder. He brushed it off. “Pu-leez,” and a slim figure twist ed around and blocked his passage.; “What’s the big idea,” he de manded. “I couldn’t help it. Once you got A tall man loomed in the doorway.

In jury dominated her fair face and a pensive smile hovered about her lips. It rebuked him. With sinking heart and forward thrust of lean jaw, Spence gulped and announced: “Sir, I want to talk to you.” •“What’s botherin’ you, son?” Spence cleared his throat. “You look like a regular guy," he began. “Now, supposin’ you had a con scientious employe. You’d want to keep her, huh?” “You said it,” the man nodded vigorously. “Now if you had a person like that and you felt she was compe tent to take care of the._ store,” Spence took a deep breath and plunged, “would you give her a raise if she was to ask you. Would you?” “Guess so,” the man acknowl edged. . “How much?” “Well,” the man’s thick shoulders heaved. “Maybe ten,” he said at last. “You heard him,” Spence turned triumphantly toward the girl, “I’m a witness.” She nodded. Her eyes were glow ing. “If you’ll excuse me, son," the man was saying, “I’m kind of busy. I got a lot of deliveries to make." He handed a paper to the girl. “Here’s the bill,” he remarked. “Thanks. I’ll file it. Oh, yes,” Spence saw her reach into her J u M U g tr Grace Noll Crowell ABOVE the city ttrect-a church « spin Is dimbing its bright ladder to the sky.

How about having a super special—with me?” Spence visioned maraschino cher ries floating on a rose pond above submerged raspberries. He also dis covered lights in her eyes, flashes of radiant promise. He placed her arm in his. The action seemed most natural. “I’m glad you’ve re formed,” -he grinned. They went back into the store. So You Think You Have Moods A young navy lieutenant, not too long out of the service, told me over the luncheon table the other day that he became very much discour aged over himself. I pointed out he hadn’t any reason to be. He has a good job. He’s doing it well. “That’s just the trouble,” he said. “I’m not doing it well. I know I’m not. One day I feel sure that I have everything a man needs to be suc cessful and happy. Then the next day I’m clear down in the dumps. It’s my moods. Isn’t there anything a person can do about moods?” I told him, as I am presently going to tell you,, that of course there is something anyone can do about his moods. I told him further more something h e ’never heard ol before, that having moods is per fectly normal, perfectly natural, and a good rather than a bad thing. We know a good deal more about moods now than we.did a few years ago, for now we Imow that at cer tain times we are going to be happy, regardless of how things break for us, while at others we are going to feel depressed, also regard less of how things break. Largely responsible for this in formation is Dr. Rexford Hershey of the University of Pennsylvania, one of the first scientists to study our emotional curves. By his researches Dr. Hershey proved that we all have our ups and downs and these occur with regu larity. We are elated, cheerful, pleasant, unpleasant, peevish, grouchy. That is one cycle. Then we become elated, cheerful, pleasant, and so forth, again. Our lives are a series of cycles—emotional cycles. These cycles, moreover, appear with almost exact regularity. With some persons they appear every month; with others every two or three months. Highly emotional people go through their emotional cycles often in less than two-weeks’ time, then start all over again; they are always in a dither. But long or short, each of us has his emotional curve. Maybe you are wondering what you can do to control this curve. You can’t control it, but you can disguise it, so that regardless of how you really feel, you put your best foot forward where the'rest of the world is concerned. ' And how do you do that? It’s sim ple. Just remember that we take our emotions from our actions, not our actions from our emotions. In other words, to feel cheerful, just act cheerful. The next time 'you reach the low point of your emo- tional curve, try that. Act cheerful, talk cheerful, and you will be cheer ful.

BENSON Prcsitleiil--Miiriliitg CeUtf' Seareg. Arkansas . I t’s U p to U s! Today it doesn't require a genius of a Barney Baruch to look into tho future and see that America faces a great crisis. It doesn’t require the wisdom of Solomon to know that if present conditions continue we are headed right into a deep and shock ing depression so great that it might affect the fundamental pattern of our economy, and hence the en tire future of the nation. We can, if only we would, prevent a serious depression for many years. But to do so would require three things we now definitely lack. These proper things will not likely be done and the depression will like ly come. In the midst of a sober ing depression, however, we mieht m uster sufficient courage to do the right things and thereby shorten its duration. What If It Comes? I want to outline those necessary steps which could prevent depres sion if taken now, and which would shorten a depression if taken after it is upon us. In the first place, there is required a brand of bold, courageous, forthright, non-political executive leadership beyond any thing Washington seems likely to display. In the second place, it would ne cessitate a lot of new, daring, ven turesome, resourceful industrial ac tivity, which because of unfavorable tax rates, industrial strife, and gen eral want of vision, we seldom see. In the third place, it would require from labor leaders in general a very genuine, honest, sincere, and effective effort to remove all prac tices and policies that hinder maxi mum production per man-hour, and that needlessly add to the cost' of goods, construction, and so on, of which we likewise see but little. Toward Real Raises These three steps would bring about three conditions necessary if we are to prevent depression, un employment, and mediocrity. One of the first things this formula would lead to would be real under standing and cooperation between industry and labor, which is an es sential to the continued welfare of this nation. We have not fooled ourselves into the foolish belief that these great segments of industry must ever be at cross purposes. In the seconS place, these'things would lead to an increase of at least 40 per cent in actual amount of goods produced without increases in labor costs. At the same tim e there would be no decrease in rate of wages earned. Tlrs would rapidly increase the effectiveness of com petition and w c’Jd bring cuts in prices ranging from 20 to 25 per cent, thus giving a real raise in standards of living for the entire public, labor as well as others. A Simple Formula In the third place, these lower prices would increase demand for our goods. American industry has, more nearly than that of any oth er nation, reached the m ass m ar kets. Our industry has produced goods .that make the least of ‘us veritable kings. And the end of this is nowhere in sight. This advice sounds extremely simple, and it is just that sim plicity that makes the formula worthy. This -simple formula for prosperity of the entire nation re quires only honest, intelligent, un selfish, courageous citizenship and leadership. May God raise up, the leadership for the sake of this na tion, our posterity, and the world. May we, individually, exercise the intelligent citizenship the days ahead will require.

Jirienses Irreconcilable Russia today is firmly opposed to alm ost everything and anything that America suggests. There is one pos sible exception, and that is: aid to Russia. Since Russia’s cross-pur- poses with us are so evident, it is natural to ask why she got that way. Why does she find it conveni ent, ever to go out of her way, to oppose America? It Is not because we did not help B nssia enough during the war. Mat te r of fact, we helped Russia then to the extent of $11,681,000,000. This w as lend-lease, of which we will ex pect to get little or nothing in re turn. AWhat we got from Russia in reverse lend-lease, com pared with the more than $11% billions that went her way, was little more than 1-S00 of one billion — only $2,213,0(50. Disguised Purposes Then, when UNRRA decided to accum ulate a big fund to help needy nations, America gave 70 per cent of the total. Our part w as $2,- 279,000,000. The Russians did not put up anything. ’Yet Russia has helped to m anage UNRRA. Actually, Rus sia has so m anipulated the aid to several European countries that the people there thought they were be ing helped by Russia, rather than by America. Now, the M arshall plan calls for additional help for European coun tries. It proposes that America use from $15 to $22 billions in an effort to get those countries on a self-sus taining basis. Not only does Russia oppose this aift, but she has inspired the creation of the Communist In ternational. This organization oper ates in nine different countries and is dedicated to complete opposition to anything that resem bles Ameri can policy in internat'o^n1 affairs. Good Neighbors? Just why this continued opposition from Russia? In my opinion, it comes definitely from the.^act that Communism is irreconcilable to the American way of life. If it be ob served that Communism did not of fer opposition during the war, it m ay also be observed that Com m unist leaders tem porarily went underground while America was helping Russia stave cf d'?- As soon as the war was over, as soon as lend-lease quit Bowmg iu Russia, the Communists began to oppose every move for peaceful sta bilization. They wanted defeated countries to rem ain defeated. Peace ful and prosperous countries find Communism unattractive, indeed. But Russia has now so'ifified her opposition to peace. Rwe?*» offers long-range opposition to America's desire for peace. throur;h her Int?r- national. This is the answer: Corrmunirvi Is antagonistic to alm o-t evor- basic principle in the Airier can wr.y of life. It is opposed to re’i":nn. Io the sacredness o? m arriage, to pri vate ownershio of property, to free dom of the individual, to of the press and of speech. The Eus sians deny that we can be t Virir neighbors. They fear a d^monstr.'- tion of the superiority of the Ameri can way — a brand of democracy Uiat does not need to call up an International to protect itself. What to Do About It There is one way, and only one I way, to avoid a serious depression, and that way is open to the Ameri can people> Responsibility rests firmly upon each of us, no m atter what m ay be our economic status or individual social background, to choose out this proper course. There is no way to go, if we should face into a depression, except toward hard work and the high productiv ity of industrial peace. Tljat’s the formula that will en able us to weather a business reces sion, provided we begin to use it now. We m ust all tighten our belts, get our feet on the ground, and go to work just as hard as we can work. A greatly increased measure of productivity per man-hour is the best answer to the present situation that can be thought up. Doivn Witb Prices With increased productivity, with an honest hour’s labor given for every hour’s pay, we could see a considerable lowering of prices. In deed, with genuine whole-hearted cooperation from labor and indus try, it would be quite possible to increase output as much as 40% generally. This should be enough to bring about a general 25% reduction in prices. This could be done with our present labor force and without increased working hours. This would in fact bring prices down until it would be equivalent to an increase in wages. This is the one sound answer to the present threat of a depression.. Such answer would also give us hope of regaining our foreign m arkets, which have had little attention paid to them since the war. Wisdom of a Sage The importance of this thing prompted Bernard M. Baruch to state recently that the whole post war world would “ get going only if m en work” and to come out for a 51A day, 44 hour week. Tbe seriousness of the problem we face is such that we m ay be able to save civilization if we accept the challenge, Mr. Baruch said, adding that this would m ean greater effort than that ex erted during the war. In proposing a 44 hour work week, “with no strikes or layoffs to Jan uary I, 1949,” as a m eans of in creasing production, Mr. Baruch recognized our present tendencies to put limitations on our work. He emphasized that & way must be found for production to flow smooth ly. This achieved, then a “sense of security would return to worker and employer, and the reaction upon the economy of the world would be deep and lasting.” Heads Together The sage Mr. Baruch has more. “Until we have unity, until we straighten out and solve our prob lems of production, and have inter nal stability, there is no basis on- which the world can renew itself physically or spiritually,” he con tinued. If labor and industry would put their heads together, come to a realistic solution of their problems, shake hands across the table and go to work in earnest to whip this threat of imm ediate depression through m axim um and whole-heart ed production, then ab on* would have anytliiiig to fMir.

Simple Instrustions Bcscl 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 basad 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 tool 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 tho “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 whicb 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 iid 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.

P4 One of the greatest problems that confronts everyone is that of getting on with people—getting along with each other. In order to accomplish this well we must realize that "it is absolutely necessary to bear with each other in onr mistakes, short comings, .blunders and failures and then be willing to take lots and go on without fretting, murmuring and com plaining. Give as little offense as pos sible. Don’t form the habit of .criti cism. The habitual critic never wins to himself many friends. Not many people appreciate criticism, even though sometimes they deserve it. Criticism should always be done in a friendly way, not harshly. How neces sary it is to love people rather than despise them ; to pray for them rath er than denounce them; to bear with them long and patiently; to criticize little and encourage much; to help folks up rather than kick them down; to lead them to Christ rather than away from H im ; to show them the way heavenward rather than lead them hellward, or thrust them hell- ward! Someone has said: “Always say less than you think. Cultivate a low, persuasive voice. How to say it often counts more than what you say. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully, no m atter what it costs you. Praise good work done, regard less of who did it. If criticism is needful, criticize helpfully, not spite fully. Be interested in others; be in terested in their pursuits, their wel fare, their homes and families. Let everyone you meet, however, though humble they be, feel that you regard them as of importance. Be cheerful. Hide your pains, worries and disap pointments under a smile. Preserve an open mind on all debatable sub jects. Discuss; don’t argue. I t is a mark of superior minds to disagree and yet be friendly. Discourage gos sip. Make it a rule to say nothing to another unless it is something good. Be careful of another’s feelings. W it and humor at the other fellow’s ex pense are seldom worth the effort, m d may hurt where the least expect ed. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Simply believe that no one will believe them. Don’t be too anxious about your dues. Do your work, be patient and keep your good disposition, and you will be rewarded.” , Therefore to get on with people is a lifetime job. It doesn’t begin with the morning and close with the day. It begins with life, or very early in life, and closes with death. It takes the best there is in us, along with the great love and matchless grace of God in our hearts and souls, to get on with people and prove ourselves a bless ing. “I would be true, for there are those who love me; I would be pare, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much ‘ to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare; I would be giving, and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up and laugh, and love and lift.” W hile it may be practically impos sible to get on with everybody in harmony, and feel a kindred spirit wasting among all men, yet we can love them, pray for them, do good to ward them, even good for evil, and thus have a clear conscience. This PajrS great dividends. We can win the con- ffdence of people, also their respect, whether we win their love, kindness and helpfulness or not. M en'may not always agree with us, and some may not love us, but we can so live be fore them until they can’t find a dir ty , spot in our lives, and will have to respect us for our godliness, up rightness, manliness and holiness. I find by years of actual experi ence that to simply treat folks right, love them, pray for them, be kind to them, and endeavor to lead them into the upper and higher realms of life, gets me further with the average per son than anything else. There is something in the heart of the average man that responds to pure love, kind ness, gentleness, godliness and pray er more than anything else. Even if we sometimes can’t win a man to Christ we can win his respect, and W hooping Gougii Claim s V ictim s Among Infants Whooping cough will claim more victims this year than last, accord ing to the U.

The communicable disease prob ably will be more severe than for any other year since 1943. to recent years mortality from this cause has vied with that from meningecoccus meningitis, mea sles, diphtheria and poliomyelitis!; but of these diseases whooping cough takes the largest proportion ate toll of life in infants under one year of age and in children under five. In 1944 and 1945, 71 per cent of the deaths from whooping cough were in infants under one, and 97 per cent in children under five, em phasizing the im portance of early immunization and the proper care of young patients to prevent com plications, of which pneumonia is the m ost common and most serious Approximately tour times as much whooping cough has been re ported for 1947 as was reported m 1946, and nearly twice the number of deaths were recorded.

T hree H ungarian Tow ns Ceded to Cxeehoslovakia The three Hungarian towns of Hor- vatjarfulu, Oroszvar and Dunacsun, transferred to Czechoslovakia by the Czech-Hungarian peace treaty, lie along the Danube at the point where the great river m akes one of its striking shifts in personality. N ear the eastern border of Aus tria, notes National Geographic so ciety, the Danube turns into the lofty, rocky defile known as the “Hungarian G ates.” It is beyond this gorge that the river takes on its new character as a broad, m a ture stream m eandering through the fertile plains of northwest Hun gary. The form er Hungarian area is a tiny finger of land covering about 35 square miles. Its transfer, however, spreads Czechoslovakian territory along both sides of the Danube at the spot where Czechoslovakia, Aus tria and Hungary meet. AU these towns are sm all. Their total population is about 10,000. The region in which they are situated, however, is im portant not only be cause of the trade but also because of the traffic artery of the Danube. ----------------------------------------s Power on the Farm Rural electrification has come into widespread use since 1935, when only 4,763 farm s in South Car olina had high-line electric service, according to a report of Ciemsun 'Agricultural college. By 1945 the num ber of farm s receiving this type «f electric service, mostly through rural ‘electrification cooperatives, had increased to 52,101, or 11 times. Along with rural electrification had grown the use of electric lights for farm homes, poultry houses and other farm buildings, electric re frigerators, running water, tieezer- locker plants, cooking stoves, ra dios, washing machines, hotbed.s for plant productions, brooding lor baby chicks and pigs, motors and other electrical equipment for reduc ing the drudgery and increasing the efficiency of farm and home opera tions. CaIeiam Helps Apples Experim ents at New York State agricultural experim ent station, Ge neva, have shown that calcium helps retain the original firmness of apples during canning and freezing. Food scientists also have found that calcium -treated apples retain their shape better in pies than do apple slices which were not treated. When apples are soft due to advanced ripening, the calcium treatm ent is very useful in m aking the tissue firmer before canning or freezing. Apples should be treated before they are packed into the container in which they are preserved. For canning, the scientists found that adding 0.1 per cent calcium chloride to the salt w ater in which the apples usually are soaked before steam blanching will do the job. The treat m ent was successful when 0.5 per cent calcium chloride was simply added to the water in which the apples were blanched before freez ing. let him know we have an interest in his soul’s salvation.

Milk Products Help In Conserving Grain Better Ratiens 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—1946 !■n«(tnfst Dry Uilk Salld* —■ Haaisn Consumption — Spray Ptmn onfal Dry Uilk Silidt m, Hwnsn Ccntuni|ilivn « RoHvrCcwumpttan — SprsyRoDvr C Dritd Cwtin urf Nonfat Diy HUk Solitb — Animal FctO D DiM Wtu7 ft Dnri Buiwrml® 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 m inerals, particularly calcium and phosphorous and contain the w ater 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.

Poultry Relish Grit; Aids Grinding Process Grit is a m aterial 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 of putable size doubtless should be I available to all chickens. S cientists Seek Trace Of A griculture’s S tart Scientists who will sail from this country shortly expect to find in 1 the Near E ast traces of the earliest civilization. They are going to dig in a mound which already has yielded, at successively lower levels, traces of several ancient races and they hope to find at the very bottom signs of a very ancient village dat ing back to the tim e when man first scratched the earth and planted a handful of seeds, an estim ated 6,000 years ago. If these scientists succeed, they will have uncovered traces of the first and greatest of all the eco nomic and social revolutions which have resulted in our present civili zation. The discovery of agriculture —the discovery that seed could be planted and m ade to grow in an orderly fashion and yield a greater return than any wild plants—was the greatest economic or industrial discovery ever made by man. Agricvdture did these things for primitive m an: It simultaneously m ade him a villager instead of a nomadic w anderer and for the first tim e enabled him to produce more than he himself could eat. Men who planted grain and waited for the har vest built shelters, settled in vil lages and banded together to pro tect their produce and their rich lands. Government had its begin ning. As the farm ers of those early days produced m ore and more it was possible for other men to de velop the arts of shoemaking, weav ing and building and to trade their produce for that of the farm ers who were producing enough food for sev eral men. pom m erce and industry thus had their beginnings. T herm ostat T ricks Cows Into P roducing M ore M ilk Cows are*being fooled into drink ing m ore w ater during winter m onths with highly profitable re sults for farm ers. It is all based on the fact that milk production bears a direct rela tionship to w ater consumption Hence if a cow can be induced to drink more w ater, she will give m ore milk. For each 100 pounds of milk, a cow m ust drink 300 pounds of water. H er body is about 60 per cent w ater; milk is 88 per cent water. A special therm ostat, devised by Min- neapolis-Honeywell- company, that regulates tem peratures of outside watering troughs does the trick. It drinking water is held at 45 de grees or above, a cow will drink m ore than if the tem perature is just above freezing, and at milk-time she will give from 10 to 20 per cent more milk. The therm ostat is used to operate an electric heater and can m aintain any selected w ater tem perature between 32 and 70 de grees. Some Illinois History Did you know that Illinois was the scene of the world’s first automobile race? The contest was held on a road between Chicago and Wauke gan in '1893. Did you know that the first coal discovered in the United States was found in Illinois? Father Hennepin, French missionary and explorer, discovered the black gold along the Illinois river in 1679. Or, did you know that the first ferris wheel was used at the World’s Co lumbian exposition in Chicago, in •1893? These are facts on the color ful history of Illinois told by Dr. Paul M.

Sure, if you think in geometrical figures. But counting M ary Hill with the three 'm en you’d have a square, wouldn’t you? Anyhow, we were on the Wild River bridge job. A nice change it was, too, with B arret Falls Cmiter only a mile away; no construction -camp in this picture. You could get room and board in somebody’s house or you could take a room only and eat out. And the boys who hadn’t been too quick in grabbing a room and board took their m orning and evening m eals at the Elite Lunch—that is, those who had got a peek at what w as inside the three sided counter, I did myself. And M ary Hill was very good for the eyes. Fresh and sweet and cool- looking she w as in her white rig, even on the hottest day—and lovely to look at. I figured she w as 28 or 29. That steel crew, though, w as a new breed to M ary Hill. A happy- go-lucky bunch, as ready for a scrap as a frolic, working hard and playing hard. One night when I was almost the last to leave M ary said: “I suppose the danger you fellows are in all day m akes you gay and light-hearted when you get away from it. Men fall sometimes, don’t they?” “Not often,” I said. “It looks worse than it is. A m an is careful. You get used to height.” By this tim e the competition for M ary was all but general. I was on the side lines, you m ight say. Being field engineer, I was some older than most of the boys—not so much, but enough to m ake m e conscious of the difference. Jack Benz, Clem Sask and Dave Johnson seemed to- be favored. Benz, a good-looking, wise-cracking chap, eventually mo nopolized M ary’s tim e. Dave Johnson was the quiet, seri ous kind, and an A-I bridge jack. But, now that he seem ed out of the running, he quit coming altogether. Clem Sask and Benz w ere not talk ing. Working from both ends, we were now almost ready tg join steel. Jack and Dave and Clem were together on the down river truss. They’d put the head of a strut or a diagonal in place for the riveters, then go down to bolt the foot. Dave was on a hanging platform below when Jack went down, leaving Sask to tighten the bolts, Jack had no sooner stepped on the platform — hadn’t tim e to anchor his safety belt — when Clem Sask dropped a spanner. Clem let out a yell. But that seven- pound spanner was on its way and bounced off Jack’s head. And Jack, toppled to follow it down to the river. AU of him but his legs was off that six by six platform . But that w as as far as he -Vgent be cause Dave had grabbed a sus pension line and had thrown him self across Jack’s legs. Then he reached down the other hand and took a fistful of Jack’s over-all—and whatever was underneath it — and puUed Jack back. And it aU hap pened while you’d be striking a m atch. An ambulance took Jack to the nearest hospital, a sm all one in a smaU town twenty miles away. I guess they felt at the hospital that this job on Jack w as too much for them because they deUvered Jack to a big city hospital. We put it down as an accident. But I wished it hadn’t happened be tween that particular pair. The news got to the EUte before we did, and M ary shared the general gloom. QUESTION OF ANGLES By FREDERICK SKERRY L ater Clem asked for his tim e— which was ju st as weU. A few days later Dave began to eat again in the Elite. And I quit staying late to look at M ary when she wasn’t constantly on the move. A few weeks afterw ards we were practicaUy finished with the bridge; half the crew had le ft One night I w ent to the picture house and saw M ary and Dave sitting a couple of rows in front. I figured that Dave was making up for lost tim e. After the show, while on m y way to where I slept, I crossed the street just as a car popped out of a cross street. I got it in the right leg. Evidently a busted leg wasn’t too m uch for that Uttle hospital in the next town; anyhow that’s where I landed. Dave was waiting when, they’d got my leg set and in a cast. I had been wondering about him and M ary, but he was no talker. But I was sure I’d find out something from M ary, if I could see her. And I did see her the next after noon; she walked into m y room not a minute after visit-time began. But is off. He’s getting crutches for you. Now I have it aU figured out. I have a perfectly good house and oodles of room, and nobody in it but my self — except when Ann Jam es is there doing housework—and that’s where you go from here.” “Listen, M ary,” I put in. “You’ve been an angel of kindness. But there’s a Umit, I know what these sm all places are, M ary, and I won't have you talked about on m y ac count . . .” “I see what you m ean. She looked down a t m e, and her eyes were dream y. “Of course it would be nice . . . ” I said nothing, and she wagged her head and looked at the ceiling. “My heavens! Did a woman ever work harder for a m an?” That didn’t m ake sense. “What m an?” I said. “ You! Who else, for goodness sake?” '“Listen, M ary,” I said. I felt all hollow inside. “Don’t kid me—not about that.” “I’m not kidding—anything but.” /S N And Jack toppled to follow it down to the river. AU of him but his legs was off that six by six platform . , the only news she let out was that Dave had heard that Jack was get ting on all right but would be laid up for a long time. For three weeks M ary cam e every d a y .' Then the crew w as through with the bridge, and Dave, making a last- evening visit, w as as dead-pan as ever. That puzzled me, and I banked on M ary being less shut mouthed. A N D , thinking of her, I realized that once out of the hospital 1*4 see little of her. I had that load oh m y mind when she cam e next after noon looking pleased as Punch. She told m e how the-'gang had bid'her good-bye the day before. Then she said, “I had quite a compliment last night, Charlie: Dave asked m e to m arry him .” “Congratulations, M ary!” I said. “Dave is a grand guy.” And I m eant it. “Yes, he is,” she nodded. “He’H m ake a fine husband—for some girl who wants to worry about him while he’s climbing over bridges. But I had to turn him down. I’ll m arry nobody I have to worry about at the start. That’s that. Now look, I just talked with' the doctor.

Did you think I was a district nurse, or something — coming here every day?” “But—” I could hardly speak. “I thought — well, with Jack and Dave . . .” "Business, dear,” she cut in. “I own the Elite Lunch, so why wouldn’t I build up good will with the customers? You never asked m e out.” “Not because I didn’t w ant to,” I said. “But all those fellows, Jack and Dave—” She gave a kind of snort. “You didn’t think a woman would be in terested in the only m an around who didn’t seem interested in her. No. So I had to find out all about you from those others. And you had to go and get yourself hurt for m e to get a good chance at-you.” “Listen,” .I said, “A m inute ago you said you wouldn’t m arry any body who climbs bridges.” “I know I did,” she admitted. “But your climbing days are over, Charlie—so Doc says.” That stopped m e. Still, I could al ways have a good berth in the plant —or some other plant.

Enam el-Coated T in Cans P lay P art in Atom Role In experimenting with radioactive chemicals from the atom ic piles at Oak Ridge, plant scientists of the U. S. departm ent of agriculture have stopped using the fam iliar clay pots and jars in their greenhouse experiments. Instead they are using inexpensive tin can s. coated with enamel. After each experim ent they discard the cans and soil that con tains the radioactive m aterial, and bury them deep in the ground to get rid of them. The reason is simple. In checking the action of the radioactive chemi cals moving out of the soil and into and through the plant, the scientists m ake use of the delicate “tracer” method. Counting instrum ents de tect and record the passage of charged molecules as they pass through the plant tissues. It is nec essary to have exact knowledge as to the radiant energy present at the start of the experiment. This is pos sible by using fresh soil, a new con tainer and exactly m easured quan tities of radioactive chemicals. But if a clay container had been used previously, the pot would have become at least slightly radioac tive, and so would add some un m easured radioactive energy that would complicate the experiment. It would disturb what the scientists term the “control” of conditions.

We can’t see how an honest Republican can edit a New Deal Democratic paper. Can you? Pender County voted recently by an overwhelming majority, to prohibit the sale of beer and wine in that county. This is the third county in Eastern Carolina to vote out wine and beer in the past few weeks. Don’t know when Davie County will call an election. Davie is one of the smallest but one of the best counties in the old North State. The great ma jority of our people are honest, law-abiding citizens. With the world in the condition it is, it is not surprising that many trage dies occur. Within the past few weeks three Davie County men have taken their lives. Never in history has there been more tur moil, crime and tragedy than at the present time. It seems that the devil has got the world by the tail with a down-hill pull. Our Best Bow Jacksonville, Fla., March 16. Dear Mr. Stroud:—I’m not be ing formal in my letter introduc tion, but mv father, the late Wil liam P. Etchison, who lived in Mocksville, and who was connect ed with the State newspaper for over 40 years, and a faithful read er of his home town paper, The Davie Record, and who delighted me in reading it and telling me I could be a “Tar Heel” by adop tion. Well, getting to the point. I deeply appreciate your Christian paper, and you should be proud to be among the Master’s minor ity. How I wish more papers re fused liquor advertisements, like yours, and a few magazines like Saturday Evening Post. And how I wish for more papers to not be afraid to print the truth. I’m glad you have not just as a motto, but practice, “Here Shall The Press, The People’s Rights Maintain, Unawed by Influence and Unbribed by Gain.” Youwere nice to mention of my father go ing Home. Not for sentimental reasons do we wish to tdke your paper, but because of its value. Sincerely yours, PRESTONR. ETCHISON.

My County Paper Irma Jean Jones, Mocksville, R. 2, 9th Grade, Mocksville H. School. One of the reasons that I should read my countv paper is that I can Ieam what happened before I was bom. Sometimes the articles are about people you know, and most of all about people you would like to know. You can find out what’s happening in and around your town and county. There are also articles in the paper about your State and its people and the Uni ted States as a whole. In your county paper you will find adver tisements that will interest you. Ifyou have some things you would like to sell, or there’s something you’d like to buy that’s not to be found, put an ad in your county paper. You will find daily Bible read ings and discussions in the paper- You should by all means read these. Then there are poems in the paper. There are-articles for the women as well as for the men. The women will find patterns, re ceipts, and some very good house hold hints. There’s the comic strip for the kids, but kids should read the rest of the paper, too. There is an article .which you can always look forward to read ing in your county paper, “The Davie Record.” The article is, “Seen Along Main Street.” This will by all means interest every one. There might be something in it about you, so read it. There’s a story in “The Fiction Corner” of your paper that the majority of the people look forward to and. read each week. So don’t forget to read your county paper. It’ll interest you as it interests every one else. I Court in Session ! The March term of Davie Su perior court convened in this city Monday morning with Judge Dan K. Moore, of Svlva, presiding and Solicitor Avalon Hall, of Yadkin ville, prosecuting.

'♦The Dem ocrats,” q u o t h Bridges, “ are haunted by the past, befuddled by the present and terrified by the Henry Wal lace future.” A nother Red Circle? YOU CAN PUT a red circle arouiid April 18 as the next tig day for Red Russia. That’s the date of the Italian elections and the date when the Communists will attem pt their next Czechoslovakia. The Russian goal in Italy is to win 40 per cent of the April ballot ing. If so, they will attem pt to move all other political parties out of the cabinet and take over Italy com pletely. In preparation, a secret Red battalion of about 250,000 men, including Yugoslavs, has moved into northern Italy and infil trated into key places. Meanwhile also, the Russians are spending millions of lira in Italy. Money is being pumped in as never before to undo the results of the Friendship Train and other Ameri can relief to Italy. Most im portant fact about the Soviet money is that it’s spent where it counts most. Much of it goes to subsidize key labor leaders. In contrast, the American/propa ganda funds were cut to the bone by congress last year. Next step in arm y-navy unifi cation will be m erger of army- navy w ater transportation. Most people don’t know it but the arm y actually keeps m ore ves sels afloat than the navy—2,953. This is 300 more than the navy’s total fleet. On top of this, the air force operates an additional 350 vessels. T he Picture Changes DURING THE FIRST FEW MONTHS H arry Trum an spent in the White House, he kept insisting to friends that he did not want to run for a second term . One, term was enough; he wanted to get back to his old love — being a senator from Missouri. M rs. Truman" — who carries a great deal more weight with the President than-m ost people suspect —felt exactly the sam e way, pos sibly m ore so. % At that time, however, Mr. Tru m an’s close friends and political leaders felt just the opposite. They were determined that he should run again, believed he was the only can didate with whom the Democrats would win. Now, however, the situation is somewhat reversed.. Today the political leaders desperately don’t want M r. Trum an to run, but ate afraid he has the bit in his teeth and can’t be ,persuaded to bow out. Bob Hannegan, the m an who two years ago repeatedly denied that Mrl Trum an would not run again and who was the first to propose his nam e publicly for reelection, now is privately sorry he ever made the suggestion,. Ed Flynn of the Bronx, who helped nominate Mr. Trum an at the 1944 Chicago convention, also is convinced that Mr. Trum an’s nam e on the ticket m eans certain defeat. Southern, leaders, of course, are not even private about it. They want to junk him a t any cost. ... But although Mr. Truttian two years ago would have been quite in the mood to bow out, today it may be different. After all, human na ture is human nature, and H arry Trum an is known to be a stubborn m an. Sometimes when his friends, such as Tom Pendergast or Ed : Pauley or Gen. Wallace Graham , are" under fire, he has gone to ex trem e lengths to buck outraged pub lic opinion. Finland seemed to be resigned, satu rated with the apathy that sometimes precedes extinction. It Vas a state’ of mind that had grown out of a reported request by Josef Stalin of Russia that Finland join up with the chain of Soviet de fense pacts that now stretches across Europe. I To the Finns that request was noth ing less than a prelude to the same kind of political control Russia had just imposed on Czechoslovakia. They feared their parliamentary freedoms would go by the.hoards in such a turn of events. But after, losing two wars WithiRussiaMn less than 10 years, the Finns ,were able to do little_ except re sign themselves; to the Soviet pattern of conquest. Finland’s, President Jiiho Paasikivi was-.saii to'.be- in favor of signing a Finnisli^Russiaff "friendship treaty as suggested by, Stalin. His Viewpoint, distinguished by real ism if nothing else, was this: To turn down the"'’Soviet ibidlwould aggravate RussiamFinnish relations to a danger ous VdegTefcLr Tb::acCept - it could mean Finland might, get as favorable condi tions as pofcmirie toVard keeping na tional independence. At"the: same’ time there was concern whether. .Stalin’s request was dictated exclusively; t>y the wish to safeguard Soviet territory, particularly _ Lenin grad, or whether’he?had something else up his sleeve. So far there were no actual demands, of .any kind, such as that the-Red army; bo allowed to oc cupy Finland in the case of war or the threat o fw a r.. . On the global scale it-seemed appar ent that Moscow’s overtures to Fin land, coming as. they did after the seiz ure of • Czechoslovakia, were another part of the .Sowet retaliation to the U. S.-sponsored Marshall plan in Europe. The Russians were drawing up the final lines for the conflict and at the same time consolidating their po sition in eastern Europe. MARSHAtLPLAN: T he Beacon “This act may well become a wel come beacon in the world’s dark night. But,-if that beacon is to be lighted at all, it had better be lighted before it is too late.” With that exhortation and many other clamoring brass alarms did Sen. Arthur Vandenherg (Rep., Mich.) attempt to spur the senate into swift action on the Marshall plan as it opened debate on the 5.3-billion-dollar program to defeat communism in Europe. The chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, one of the strong est backers of the Marshall plan, urged the senators to “light the beacon” of economic aid to Europe before “aggres sive communism” begins knocking on the door of the New World. “Help stop World War III before it starts,” was the burden of Vanden- berg’s message. Denouncing “treacherous Moscow propaganda that has “charged us with iniquitous American imperialism,” he emphasized that the 16 western Euro pean nations must be saved from eco nomic chaos. “This vast friendly segment of the earth must not collapse. The iron cur tain must not come to the rims of the Atlantic by aggression or default” But despite Vandenberg’s hortatory, prospects of swift, full passage of the Marshall plan were by no means bright and shining. In this election year con gressmen were being doggedly and os tentatiously conscious of how they spent taxpayers’ and voters’ money. The house, meantime, was working on another version of a world aid plan, with the' foreign affairs committee de ciding, to. wrap foreign aid for Europe, China; Greece .and Turkey into “a single package.” PROBE: A tom ic , AU of a sudden there was a new atomic ,’security investigation under way to stimulate the jaded interest of the American • public,; In the' limelight: this time was Dr. Edward. U. Condon, atomic scientist and head of the government’s bureau of standards. !. Describing; Condpn as “one of the weakest links in our atomic security," a house un-American' activities sub committee reported in good faith that he “knowingly or unknowingly enter tained . and associated” with I alleged Russian spies. . •; • To the charge that he’ was a “weak est : link” CoUdon retorted: “This is gratifying mformation because I’m ab solutely reliable and therefore we have OPTIMIST: ISeiv W eapoiis . Rear Adm. Ellis M. Zacharias, re tired H S. naval officer, came up with another bit of shattering news not cal culated to ease the jitters of this al ready drawn quid weary world. There are now in existence three new weapons which outrank the atomic bomb in pure, unadulterated destruc tiveness, he said. U. S..science has de veloped .them since the ,war. They are probably of a .bactcriological nature, it was assumed from Zacharias’ remarks. 1 ■ These are the battle lines for the “cold war" in which the two opposing forces are democracy and communism. The battlefield is Europe, map, of which conveys that “this is where we came in” feeling. It is reminiscent of the Hitler drive to the East, except for the fact that this time it is a Russian expansion westward that is changing the color of the map. nothing to worry about. The country can relax.” And as far as consorting with Com munist spies was concerned — “That’s just too vague to talk about. I cer tainly didn’t do it knowingly,” he com mented. Nevertheless, two congressional com mittees leaped into action. Rep. J. Parnell Thomas (Rep., N. J.), under treatment in Walter Reed hospital for a stomach ailment, said he might call a bedside meeting of his full un-Ameri can activities committee in order to send the sub-committee report for mally to President Truman. And Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper (Rep., Iowa) called a session of the senate-house atomic energy committee to study the house group’s report The report itself was a package of straight-from-the-shoulder charges. It pointed out, among other things, that Condon had been appointed head of the bureau of standards in 1945 on the recommendation of Henry Wallace, then commerce secretary. Discussing Communists, it said: “In this country they haven’t gotten as far as they did in Czechoslovakia, but they got pretty far, because they got a man as vice-president of the U. S. and he is now their candidate for president, and he is the same man who recommended Dr. Condon as director of the bureau of standards.” Thus was the stage set for at least two more spine-tingling investigations. PROFITABLE: Steel In response to a request by President Truman for a full investigation of steel price increases, federal trade commis sion and commerce department econo mists turned up with a story that was not destined to do the steel industry any good in the eyes of the price- whipped American public. According to data assembled so far, the industry has been piling up profits at a rate unequaled in recent years and, in some cases, is running up net earnings almost double those of 1946. The appraisal indicated that U. S. Steel, giant of the industry, was lead ing all companies with a net profit in 1947 of 126.7 million dollars—highest since 1929. Bethlehem Steel pushed up its net profit last year to 61 million dollars, about 10 million more than the previous year. Other leading concerns either have doubled or more than doubled their 1946 profits. Stimulus which got the steel profits investigation going was the recent $5- a-ton increase in the price of semi-fin ished ' steel — actually the fifth in a series of price boosts. During the first seven weeks of 1948, steel companies have jumped the price of pipe, nails, wire and structural construction steel. Economists tended to view the steel price hike with alarm because they feared it would offset completely any beneficial deflationary trend which the commodity ,market drop might have set in motion. HOMELESS: D P BiU Possibly in response to the growing humanitarian sentiment in the U. S. that something be done to relieve the plight of Europe’s displaced persons, the senate judiciary committee ap proved a bill that would admit 100,000 DP’s to the United States in the next two years. The measure, now scheduled to be re ported out to the senate for action, pro vides that homeless Europeans who are living in DP camps two and a half years after the end of the war will be admitted at the rate of 50,000 a year beginning next July I and ending June 30, 1950. . A three-member commission would be established to handle the program and to formulate regulations “for the purpose of obtaining the most general distribution and settlement of persons.” At least 50 per cent of those admitted are to be employed in agriculture. Sen Alhapman Revercomb (Rep., W. Va.), chairman of the sub-committee that drafted the bill, said that this pro vision was intended to prevent the im migrants from settling ir. large groups in seaboard areas. Those to be admitted would first be thoroughly investigated by a govern ment agency. ? Current Events ?

A tractor in good repair, agricul tural engineers estim ate, can oper ate on two to three less gallons of fuel than the tractor with faulty operation. A djustm ents in the car buretor, governor, tim ing, m ani fold and valves also will increase the efficiency. A careful check will disclose loose bolts and nuts as well as parts that need adjusting or replacing, thus eliminating the chance for costly breakdowns later. E very repair and adjustm ent should be m ade just as soon as the need is noted. Farm ers also are advised to equip their tractors with fire extinguish ers and to provide secure holders for grease guns or other servicing tools carried on the m achine. Loose accessories m ay cause falls or re sult in a tragedy.

Eternal Life Dr. Newton Lesson for M arch 28, 1948 i f I 'H E Lord has risen indeed,” and because he lives, we too shall live. E aster is the day that re minds us of this blessed truth—the truth of eternal life. Well has Henry Burton expressed it in these lines: "There’s a light upon the mountains, And the day is at the spring, When our eyes shall see the beauty And the glory of the King; XPeary was our heart with waiting, And tbe night watch seemed so long,But his triumph day is breaking,And we hail it with a song. "He is breaking down the barriers; He is casting up the way;He is catling for his angels To build up tbe gates of day;But his angels here are human, Not the shining hosts above; And the drumbeats of his army Are tbe heartbeats of our love BREAKFAST BT THE LAKE T> EAD John 21:1-14 for the ex- quisite account of Jesus appear ing to his disciples in the early morning at the sea of Tiberias. They had been toiling aU night, and had taken nothing. Bringing their boats near to the shore, they saw one stand ing there, “but the disciples knew not that it w as Jesus.” Jesus told them to cast their net on the right side of the ship, which they did, a n d they caught 153 “great fishes.” Jesus then summoned them to breakfast. He had prepared the bread and fish on coals of fire. And they did eat.* * . BLESSED ASSURANCE O E F O R E his death, Jesus had said to his disciples, “Because I live, you will live also,” John 14:19, but they did not fully grasp the meaning of the great words. But that morning on the sea shore, they understood. They rem em bered that he had died on the cross, and now they were assured that he was real ly alive, for this w as the third tim e he had appeared unto the disciples after the resurrection. How happy they m ost have been! How happy we should be on this recurring E aster season, assured that he is alive everm ore. And because he lives, we too shall live.* * • HrHAT IS ETERNAL LIFE? C UNDAY’S lesson leads us on to ^ the answer to the question; What is eternal life? In Colossians 3:1-4 and 13-17, we have the declaration, “Your life is hid with Christ in God. . . ” If we have believed on him — cast ourselves in implicit trust into his keeping — we have eternal life, which is his gift to ev ery believing heart. Paul goes on to admonish those who have “ entered into life eter nal,” through faith in the riven, risen, reigning Saviour, to put on the garm ents of his presence and power and peace — kindness, hu mility, meekness, long-suffering, forbearance, forgiveness. The evidence of eternal life is to be found in the fruits of the Spirit in our daily lives.* * * CERTAINTY OF ETERNAL LIFE \ \ T E READ in John 17:3 this v v word of further assurance, “ This is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.” And in I John 5:11-12, we read, “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” In another passage John tells that we know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren. E aster is the day of eternal hope. It lifts above the fog of earth iness the glory of the blessed hope that fadeth not away. We have God’s own testimony that we shall live with him forever, through Jesus Christ, our risen, reigning, return ing Lord. • * * * (Copyright by the International Ccuocil oi Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations.

Arttxsts j You Pay for It I Other day that classic journal cf ours, the Arkansas Gazette, com m ented: “The government has it ail figured out what people do with ev ery penny of their money. Now, if only the people could figure out what the government does with it.” That is a real poser! To be sure, government has to spend a lot of money. We are a big nation. More over, we find it necessary to take on obligations in maiiy foreign lands. But whether the government (specifically the federal govern ment, where they throw around big sums) spends no more than is need ful is im portant to everyone. Gov ernm ent is not a luxury; It is a necessity. Yet, to read the budget figures you would think all opera tions were on a luxury basis. Government Spends That government is expensive was proved again by John T. Flynn, who showed in Reader’s Digest that TVA, a government project, forgot to include certain items in its book keeping. Instead of the indicated profit, there was a real deficit Cl $130,000,000 to June 30, 1944. Flynn shows there was an actual loss in sales of power to that date of $15,- 000,000. This dem onstrates that effi ciency is a quality unknown to gov ernm ent operations. Here’s a prophecy. Wait until the budget is presented to this Congress, then watch the departm ents and bu reaus fight any reductions. Increase the appropriation and swell the payroll — but shrink the swollen department? Never. Way to Depression This kind of selfishness means m eager tax savings. It permits lit tle tax reduction for folks who so much need relief. The more we tax and the more we spend for govern ment, the nearer we get to depres sion. Taxes of all kinds are too heavy these days. Corporation taxes are burdensome. Income taxes on all levels are too high. The individual income taxes cut down the rewards of the wage earner, keeping him from saving and investing. Instead, his tax paym ent is earm arked: “government expense.” Some peo ple oppose tax reductions for cor porations and individuals, without realizing that continued heavy taxes will undermine our economic sys tem and their own standard of liv ing. Decisions Lie Ahead Obviously, one of the quickest ways to halt wasteful and unprofit able bureaucracy is to stop feeding fuel to its fires. Government, with out a plentiful supply of tax money, could hardly be wasteful govern ment. Congress has the power to say what the government shall spend and what amount it shall col lect in taxes. It is up to us to see that our Congress keeps a proper rein on collections and expendi tures.- Unwise spending and taxing could take this nation into the bank ruptcy of communism. It could do it more quickly than anything else. Indeed, the power to tax is the power to destroy. We m ust see to it that America keeps an efficient and well-managed government, not a wasteful bureaucracy. That will be a powerful factor in deciding, in the coming months, whether Amer ica will rem ain prosperous and eco nomically stable. tk tm w s !

Arittsts Hog Mange Causes Average Loss of $2 New Insecticide Proves Effective in Control Common m ange of hogs is another widespread disease that has yielded to the results of anim al health re search. The U. S. departm ent of agriculture says the average losses from m ange probably amount to *2 a head. This figure covers the loss from stunted growth, delay in fat tening, occasional deaths and dock age when mangy hogs are m ar keted. The effective weapon against mange is benzene hexachloride, fre quently referred to as “666.” In Nebraska tests this newly-discov ered insecticide was so effective it eradicated mange with one treat ment. Not only did it eradicate m ange — it also got rid of lice. This m akes the old mange treat m ents obsolete. In the Nebraska tests, crude ben zene hexachloride (a wettable pow der) was mixed with water (10 pounds powder in 100 gallons) and sprayed on the hogs. One objectionable feature of the crude benzene hexachloride is its terrific odor. This odor is not present to any m arked degree in commer cial hog oils prepared by use of a solvent which takes the active in gredient (the gamm a isomer) out of the crude benezene hexachloride and leaves behind the ineffective in gredients—the ones that have the disagreeable odor. Herds and Flocks Pond water piped to farm build ings for livestock can be filtered by building a solid housing of soft brick (laid in cement) over the end of the pipe in the bottom of the pond. & 8“ HIGH CONTAINER COVERED FRAME DRAINPIPE W ater filters through the pores of the brick. First treatm ent for cattle grubs should be made early in winter, as soon as the tell-tale bumps appear on the backs of animals. Several treatm ents a month apart will be necessary. Use a cattle grub dust containing 1% per cent rotenone. The current shortage of feed m akes it im portant to do continuous culling in the laying house. Dairy cows lose a lot of energy pulling through heavy mud in the bam lots. Lost energy means less milk. Paved lots that take cows out of the mud soon pay for them selves. Mow and Spray in One Operation Pays Well Wh%t to Do About It There is one way, and only one way, to avoid a serious depression, and that way is open to the Ameri can people. Responsibilify rests firmly upon each of us, no m atter what m ay be our economic status or individual social background,'to choose out this proper course. There is no way to go, if we should face into a depression, except toward hard work and the high productiv ity of industrial peace. That’s the formula that will en able us to weather a business reces sion, provided we begin to use it now. We m ust all tighten our belts, get our feet on the ground, and go to work just as hard as we can work. A greatly increased m easure of productivity per man-hour is the best answer to the present situation that can be thought up. Down With Prices With increased productivity, with an honest hour’s labor given for every hour’s pay, we could see a considerable lowering of prices. In deed, with genuine whole-hearted cooperation from labor and indus try, it would be quite possible to increase output as much as 40% generally. This should be enough to bring about a genera] 25% reduction in prices. This could be done with our present labor force and without increased working' hours. This would in fact bring prices down until it would be equivalent to an increase in wages. This is the one sound answer to the present threat of a depression. Such answer would also give us hope of regaining our foreign m arkets, which have had little attention paid to them since the war. Wisaom of a Sage The importance of this thing prompted Bernard M. Baruch to state recently that the whole post w ar world would “get going only if men work” and to come out for a 5)4 day, 44 hour week. The seriousness of the problem we face is such that we m ay be able to save civilization if we accept the challenge, Mr. Baruch said, adding that this would mean greater effort than that ex erted during the war. In proposing a 44 hour work week, "with no strikes or layoffs to Jan uary I, 1949,” as a m eans of in creasing production, Mr. Baruch recognized our present tendencies to put limitations on our work. He emphasized that a way m ust be found for production to flow smooth ly. This achieved, then a “sense of security would return to worker and employer, and the reaction upon the economy of the world would be deep and lasting.” Heads Together Tfiie sage M t. Baruch has more. “Until we have unify, until we straighten out and solve our prob lem s of production, and have inter n a l stability, there is no basis on which the world can renew itself physically or spiritually,” he con tinued. If labor and industry would put their heads together, come to a realistic solution of their problems, shake hands across the table and go to work in ,earnest to whip this threat of imm ediate depression through m aximum and whole-heart ed production, then an one would have anytitjng to fear, I The Davie Record Has Been Published Since 1899 4 8 Years Othen have come and gone-your county newspaper keeps going.

Simple Instriiolions Bcscil 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 ib, if you fol low glass jar manufacturer’s instruc tions, for Uiey are based upon scien tific discoveries made over a period of a century and a half. Back in Napoleon’s time, a Paris confectioner, Nieolas Appert, set out to find a method of food preserva tion and win a 12,000-franc prize offered in 1795 by the French gov ernment. Napoleon, like Frederick the Great, believed an army travels on its stomach, and the folks at home got hungry and discontented too! Nicolas won the prize, after 15 years' work,’ - but his methods and equipment have been greatly im proved upon. He labored under many handicaps, not knowing a tempera ture beyond boiling is required for processing some foods and having to design his own glass jars. Not emtil 1860 did Louis Pasteur estab lish the faqt that microorganisms are responsible for food spoilage. Four teen years later, an American, A. K. Shriver of Baltimore, invented the "retort” or “pressure” cooker. In 1858 John Mason patented the Mason jar with neck designed for receiving a screw type cap. The Mason jar with porcelain-lined zinc cap is an old reliable. Mason would probably be astounded by the 1947 cap for sealing the Mason jar. This new style cap is a two-piece metal affair with a Dome lid which has sealing compound on the under side and is tested for seal by pressing on the center of the lid with the finger. Sealing with the Dome lid is made doubly sure by the new type metal band which bears down on the Ud at three pressure points. Also reliable in seal is the light ning type jar with rubber ring, glass lid and wire bail. Many scientific experiments and jar improvements have perfected pro cesses for today’s home canning and it is upon them that instructior.3 you will find in reliable home canning lit erature such as the BaU 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.

Your Social Secur ity Cari Your social security card is the key to your social security account which is kept for you by the Gov. ernment. It is one of the most valuable things that you own, and should be preserved with the same care you nse in protecting your in. sutance policy, your war bonds, and other valuable papets. The Social Security Administra tion suggests that the two parts of the card be separated. Put the lower half in your safetv-deposh box or In some other place where it will be secure and where you can get it, if it is needed. Carry the upper half with you when you are applying for a new job or when yon go to work on a new job. If yon wilt wrap this part of the card in oiled paper or cellophane and carry it in the card compartment of your bill fold, it will last you many years. Since it costs both money and time to issue duplicate cards, and since both money and time are precious, you are urged to do everything you can to prevent loss of your card. If you do lose it, however, take the tower half to the Social Security Administration field office nearest to you and re quest a duplicate of your complete card. If you do not live in the city in which the social security office is located, you can still get a duplicate by writing to that office. Even if you have lost both parts of your card you can get a duplicate by either visiting the « cia! security office or writing that office. You should be sure to ask for a duplicate instead of a new number, because you never tired but one number, no matter how many different places vbu may work. The issuance of more than one number would cause your account to be divided and might, in the end, mean - a loss*of benefits to you or your family. Good Soil Increases Farm Crop Yields Tests Reveal Value Of Proper Nutrients High crop yields per acre on the farm , like m ass production in in dustry, are the secret of financial success, according to Emil Truog, professor of soils at University of Wisconsin. “It costs no more for seed and tillage — usually the main expenses in crop production — to grow a $5? crop than a $25 crop," he declares Wisconsin tests show that addition al crop yields resulting from heavy fertilization cost only $2 to $3 per ton for alfalfa and 10 to 15 cents per bushel for corn and oats. “The extra cost of a larger yield per acre lies simply in the Tm if u i f f ' * 1 ' ** 3 SMkYii Proper fertilization has paid on thousands of farm s, whether ap plied to corn, wheat, oats, soy beans, ’cotton or any other crop. additional fertility removed from the soil. But even this is partly com pensated for in the case of legumes by the greater amounts of nitrogen the bigger crop supplies to the soil. “High acre yields are also the se cret of success in erosion control and soil conservation. _When yields on less erodible land are doubled or trebled through adequate liming and heavy fertilization, a bigger acreage of more erodible lands can be returned to forests and per m anent grass. That means more and better food for all.’’ Herds and Flocks / Damp litter in laying houses fre quently results in colds and other diseases. Dampness around water containers can be eliminated in pens with running water by putting a drain pipe through the floor and set ting the watering pan on a frame over the drain pipe. Dry litter pays off. Feed is wasted when anim als die. A pullet that dies in December rep resents a loss of 40 pounds of feed. The loss of a newborn pig repre sents a loss of 140 pounds of feed. To avoid excessive loss of butter- fat in skim milk in winter, run enough hot w ater through the sep arator bowl so it will come out the cream and skim milk spouts. Do this as soon as separator is up to norm al speed. Moldy or inferior corn is less like ly to cause trouble when fed to cat tle than when fed to horses and mules. Mechamzed Hog Farm Makes Pig Raismg Easy A fully modernized and m echanized hog farm can be so rigged that one m an can handle 100 sows and bring to m arket each year 1,500 to 2,000 hogs—a half-million pounds of pork on the hoof, according to Dr. Waldo Semon of the B. F. Goodrich company.This is possible by mechanized means of conveyor belts, chutes and other devices. Tests show, he Said, that rubber-tired tractors and other farm vehicles require only 40 to 50 per cent as much pulling power on plowed ground or sod as do steel wheels, and can plow a field in 25 per cent less tim e and with 25" per cent less fuel consumption. New Essence Developed To Recover Fruit Flavor A practical process for recover ing in essence form the volatile arom a, or flavor, of fresh fruit juices has been developed at the U. S. eastern regional research lab oratory, near Philadelphia. The es-- sence contains all the arom a in a concentration 150 or more tim es that of the fresh juice. It is a clear, water-white solution that can be kept for long periods at room tem perature without alteration. In concentrating fruit juices to m ake jellies and other products, the flavor of the fresh fruit is largely lost. This is particularly apparent In apples, the characteristic flavor of which is so volatile that many apple products have none of the Iresh fruit character. Adding a sm all amount of apple essence to apple-juice concentrate restores the bill flavor. Used as a fountain syrup, the full flavor concentrate may be diluted with plain water to make a bever age practically indistinguishable in taste and arom a from fresh apple juice. The process of flavor recov ery also is applicable to other fruits. New Steel House Offers Variety of Innovations Farm ers and sm all town dwellers soon will be able to own a home with features of quality, beauty and utility never before offered in the housing field. Lustom homes, which are sched uled to be produced at the rate of 30,000 a year, will be fireproof and will require no repairs or redecorat ing during the lifetime of the owner. They can be erected at a cost of $7,000 and will have ceiling radiant heat, a completely modern kitchen, a large amount of built-in closet and storage space and a number of other features that will reduce housework and provide luxurious living. The use of porcelain enam el steel throughout the house will provide a finish that will not face or crack and can be easily cleaned by a light application of soap and water. The houses come in six different colors, selected with a view of blending with various color combinations of furniture and other home fur nishing. Fly Ants From Australia Insect history was made recently when a scientist flew from Australia to Am erica as escort for 3,000 live ponerine ants — the first tim e that these insects have survived a long distance flight. It was necessarv that live specimens of the ants be sent to the Haskins research laboratories. New- York, on a research study into the origin and social structure of Australian ants. There are about 300 species of ponerine ants, all primitive. AU attem pts previously m ade to keep ponerines aUve at high altitudes have failed. As aU moisture in the ant’s body had to be replaced, since the ant dehydrates in a high altitude, the problem therefore was to put enough m oisture into the glass container to aUow for evaporation at high altitude, but not so much mois ture that the ants would drown. When the correct amount of mois ture was worked out it was possible to deliver the ants in good condi tion. American Dairy Breeds Principal breeds of United States dairy cows are: Ayrshire, imported in 1822, origin County Ayr, Scot land, color, red of any shade, m a hogany, brown or these colors with white, or white, with each color clearly defined, weighs about 1,150 pounds; Brown Swiss, imported in 1869 from Switzerland, color, a shade of brown varying from a sil ver to a dark brown, weighs about 1,400 pounds; Guernsey, imported in 1818, origin Islands of Guernsey and Alderney, color, a shade of fawn with white m arkings clearly defined, weighs about 1,100 pounds; Holstein, from Holland in 1857, color, black and white m arkings clearly defined, weighs about 1,500 pounds; Jersey, from Island of je r sey in 1815, color, a shade of fawn with or without white markings, weighs about 1,000 pounds. Causes Fabric Dam age One of the m ost common forms of fabric dam age, according to Ameri can Institute of Laundering, is acci dentalpontact of clothing, linen and towels' with home cleaning com pounds, bleaches, astringents and medicines, which seriously injure the fabric fibers. Such dam age usu ally shows up after laundering in the form of holes. Fabric care is the basis of thrift. Dirt and dust become embedded in fabrics, cutting into the threads, wearing them away. The sooner the dirt is removed, the less dam age will result. To prolong the life of an article, never postpone having it cleaned.

The soil was already rich in potash. The heavy crops of alfalfa-clover and sm all grains protected the soil from beating rains. The soil of the treated plot with its 16 tons of or ganic m atter per acre could soak up m ore water faster than the soil of the untreated plot with only five tons. Less w ater was left to run off and carry soil with it. For erosion control on longer slopes a crop rotation that includes m ore years in soil protecting crops such as legume grass m ixtures is advised. Fidl fields on a 12 per cent slope such as was in this field would need a rotation of corn, winter grain and two or three years of legume- grass m ixtures for best results. Con tour farm ing, strip cropping and terracing would help, too, to slow down the w ater so that more would have a chance to soak into the ground. Three Major Problems Face Pork Producers The pork producer faces three problems as he m akes plans for 1948, say Michigan State college specialists. A short com crop, a relatively narrow com-hog ratio and a stressed feed conservation program are the problems to be m et. The danger is that too few sows will be bred for spring pigs and there m ay not be enough hogs to consume the com crop produced in 1948. In Your interest | JA M E S G . PA TTO N , P re s id e n t, N atio n al Farm ers’ Union, says: “My advice to the farm ers is to put all cash they can spare into U. S. Savings Bonds, and to hold’onto every Bond they own. If the farm ers and ranchers generally will do that—and mil lions of them are doing it today— we won’t have the heartbreaking hard times we had after the last w ar on most of the farm s of this country. Money saved in savings now is hardship saved later.”U. S. Trcasury Departmtnt Deep Litter Will Help Keep Laying House Dry Deep litter will help keep well- insulated and well-ventilated laying houses dry this winter, says Iowa State college. Not only will there be more eggs to put in the crate, but also the house need not be cleaned as frequently if the litter and drop pings are kept dry. A deep litter keeps the floor dry because it de velops heat as it slowly decomposes in the laying house, insuring better flock health.

Part of the loss was due to smaller production. The sales during the season recently closed fell short of the total of the 1 9 4 6 season by approximately 20 mill ion pounds, which was a very small petcentage decrease trom 9 0 6 ,0 0 0 oco pounds of 1946. The greater part of the loss was due to the drop in prices. The average price paid producers In the latest marketing period was $4 3 .4 3 a hundred pounds as compared with $4 9 .7 3 for the 1946 sales period. That was a decrease of about 12.6 per cent in price, the major cause of which was the loss or curtailment of export markets, and especially the withdrawal of British buyers from the Carolina warehouses in the midst of the season. 1 For the same reasons the flue, cured tobacco growers’ prospects for this year are not bright. To bolster prices, a piogram of sharp acreage curtailment will be carried out, which of course will result In cutting production. That in itself means a much smaller total income for the 1948 crop even it the aver- age price shonld not decline below the 1947 level. The situation calls for greater diversification of crops and the production of more livestock and 'ood and feed crops, but such a shifting of the farm program is not so easy as it would appear to those who know nothing of farming, any mare than it is easy for a tex tile mill that has always been making one kind of product to «bift to making a variety.—Char- 'otte Observer.

From a range of 2.1 million to 2.3 million in the 1930s, births rose to 2.9 million in 1943. They totaled 2.7 million in 1945 and then sharply rose again to about 3.9 million in 1947. This sharp rise in births has had the ef fect of increasing the population some 4.4 million persons since 1945 and 13 million since 1939. PRESIDENCY: Announcements As far as grabbing the spotlight was concerned, President Truman and Gen. Douglas MacArthur stumbled all over each other with their coy and almost simultaeous announcements that they would accept a presidential nomination if the people called them. The declarations by the two men, coming within just a few hours of each other, were perhaps a symbolic prelude to a similar but greater clash of personalities and political forces which it is now possible might develop later this year. Mr. Truman said he would run for a full term as chief executive if the Dem ocrats would nominate him; and Mac- Artliur opined that he would accept the presidency “if called by the American people” but would not actually seek it. Taking note of the fact that petitions have been filed in Wisconsin putting his name in the primary there on April 6, MacArthur issued this sonorous statement: “While it seems unnecessary for me to repeat that I do not actively seek or covet any office and have no plans for leaving my post in Japan, I can say, and with due humility, that I would be recreant to all my concepts of good citizenship were I to shrink be cause of the hazards and responsibilities involved from accepting any public duty to which I might be called by the American public.” Republicans, however, were going easy in their comments on the general’s willingness to accept presidential nomi nation, confining them, for the most part, to peripatetic remarks about what a highly regarded figure MacArthur is. Sen. Ralph Flanders (Rep., Vt.) said, “I think .General MacArthur would be doing the country a disservice if he left the job he is in until he has put it in such shape he can leave. That’s the place the Lord put him.” Other politicians were wondering about the spot that the Lord and Harry Truman was putting them on. South ern Democrats, despite Mr. Truman’s announcement of his candidacy, were not burging an inch from 'their stand opposing him and his civil rights pro gram. Some of the southern states, notably Mississippi, went right ahead with their plans to prevent their elec toral votes from going to him. NEW ATOM: Thorium Already well beyond the awesome threshhold of the atomic age, nuclear scientists are continuing to step deeper into the contradictory wilderness of creation and destruction that appeared when the first atomic blast burned up the night and the sands at Los Ala mos, N. M. Latest step is the manufacture of the first small pieces of a. new kind of atomic bomb and fuel metal, according to an announcement by Dr. Glenn T. Seafcorg, atomic scientist. Where formerly the extremely rare metal uranium 235 was the only prac ticable substance through which atomic energy could be produced, there now is a new metal, known as uranium 233, made by changing the heavy metal thorium into uranium. This new form of uranium does not exist naturally on earth, nor is it known to exist in the stars. Dr. Seaborg reported that a small fraction of an ounce—actually only a few hundred milligrams—of the thor ium metal has been made in the Han ford, Wash., uranium-graphite, chain- reacting atomic piles. Apparently, al though Dr. Seaborg did not amplify his announcement to include this implica tion, the use of thorium for. atomic power is considered practicable. Since thorium is three times more plentiful than uranium it will be the world’s main reliance for atomic power. CONSULTATION: UolyLand Leading experts on global anatomy were getting together in a consultation to determine whether there was any conceivable way in which they could perform a painless bisection of Pales tine. Russia, France, China and the U. S. had been requested by the United Na tions security council to hold one of their famous conferences to study how partition of the Holy Land into in dependent Arab and Jewish states might be effected. Britain, too, had been asked to participate but declined the invitation, although consenting to sit in in the role of advisor. As the consultation got under way, the United States was reported ready to seek big power agreement on a new conciliation effort in Palestine. Warren R. Austin, chief U. S. delegate, said he felt the talks should deal primarily with the question of “peaceful settle ment.” But while U. N. delegates might talk in New York about a peaceful settle ment, Arab military forces on the spot in Palestine had vastly different ideas. Arab Commander-in-Chief Fawzi el Kawkji publicly issued a vow to free Palestine from “the Zionist menace whether it takes one month, one year or a generation.” Red-haired El Kawkji, the' Arab chieftain who had led anti-British and anti-Jewish revolts in 1936 and 1939, had just returned to Palestine after an absence of pine years. He came back, he said, to fight “partition, intrigue and Zionism.” “We came here to fight anyone who stands for partition, be they British, Jewish or an international force.” What the United Nations conferees, none of them eager to apply interna tional power in the Holy Land, could do against this kind of gun-waving local zeal was a problem which so far had them completely baffled. RUHR: Solution One of the major problems of the uneasy peace^-what to do with the Ruhr, Germany’s prime industrial sec tion—was solved when the U. S., Great Britain and France agreed in a series of conferences at London that they would place the Rulir under interna tional control. It was decided also that the economic and industrial assets of western Ger many, perennial breeding ground for German war machines, would be en listed in the Marshall plan. Moreover, the western powers agreed that western Germany should have a federal form of government, providing adequate central authority but protect ing the rights of the various states. Indicative of the manner in which statesmen of the western powers are thinking now was the fact that Germany will be represented in the international control of the Ruhr but that Russia very probably will not. Recognizing the importance of the Ruhr to the recurring surges of Ger man aggression, the conference com munique pointed out that “the purpose of this international control would be to ensure that the economic resources of this area should not again be used for the purposes of aggression and that there should be adequate access to the coal, coke and steel of the Ruhr for the benefit of extensive parts of the Euro pean community including Germany.” Stressing the absolute need for co operation among the British, American and French zones of western Germany, the conference observed that the “con tinuous failure” of the foreign minis ters council to reach four-power agree ment “has created a situation in Ger many which, if permitted to continue, would have increasingly unfortunate consequences for western Europe.” PANIC PITCH Am ericans Ready to Go off Deep End People of the U. S. are conducting their day-by-day activities in a state of mind that is separated from a condi tion of acute panic by only the merest veil of self-restraint, says Dr. Fnmk Fremont-Smith of the International Committee for Mental Hygiene. Any day now a phony rumor of sud den war or even of sea monsters in vading New York harbor might pro duce wholesale panic. Many Americans are ripe to go off the deep end from just such a scare, no matter how fan tastic it may be, Dr. Fremont-Smith contends. The reason people might be easily panicked is the widespread worry, anxiety or fearover the possibilities of atomic war or of depression. This set) the stage emotionally for panic. M t WJ Aid for Tooth Decay A T A COST of 80 cents per child, Congressman Frank Keefe (Rep., Wis.) discovered, children’s teeth can be treated with sodium fluoride, there by preventing dental decay in about 50 per cent of the cases. Public health officials testifying be fore Keefe’s committee told him that sodium fluoride could be mixed in a solution and painted on children’s teeth four times in their lives between the ages of 3 and 13—after which most of them could virtually forget about going to the dentist. The congressman was flabber gasted. He wanted to know why the treatment had not been given to the public. "The number of dentists is too few,” replied U. S. Public Health Director Dr. Thomas Parran. “It looks to me,” said Congress man Keefe, “as though an adver tising program would disseminate this information to the people of the country until there would be an overwhelming demand upon the public-health services to make this available to the children. The public health officials were not able to give a definite answer, but they did explain how simple the sodium fluoride treatment was. “Our schedule requires application four times during a child’s life—at the ages of 3, 7, 10 and 13 years," ex plained Dr. J. W. Mountin. “The whole thing does not take more than a minute except the cleaning of the teeth and many of the teeth need not be cleaned.” “What does the sodium fluoride so lution cost?” ' asked Congressman Keefe. “Is it very expensive?” "A gallon of solution can be made for a cost of approximately five cents.” “A gallon of it would take care of pretty nearly the whole school popula tion of a normal sized community, would it not?” asked the congressman. “Yes, indeed.” Keefe went on to point out that if the new revolutionary dental program were left merely to den tists, its progress would be much too slow. Therefore he urged that a nation-wide educational program be undertaken. Public health of ficials said they would consider the matter.* * * Pacifying the Arabs HANDLING ARAB CHIEFTAINS is something at which the British have long been adept. We ourselves haven’t done badly in recent years. The sys tem is a combination of browbeat and baksheesh. AU during World War I, Arab chieftains were kept in line by a constant stream of British silver. Dur ing World War II their baksheesh went under a different name—oil royalties. Today, the kings of Arabia are just as dependent on us as we are on their oil—only more so. They don’t want francs, pounds, or even rubles in payment for oil—only dollars. Without dollars their des ert monarchies would go up in dust. This leads to a Palestine remedy. Some years ago Herbert Hoover pro posed that the Tigris and Euphrates valleys be developed by irrigation and water power, malting them—as in the days of the Garden of Eden—one of the garden spots of the world. Hoover’s proposal now could be car ried out for the benefit of the Arabs and as a means of counterbalancing Arab claims in Palestine. The projects could be financed from the vast profits of the Arabian-American Oil company. In other words, we pay off the Arabs for their equity in Palestine by setting up a new irrigated homeland for them in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys. The “Do Nothing Boys” WHEN THE LAST SESSION of Congress adjourned in July with one of the worst “do-nothing” records in his tory, Republican apologists freely pre dicted that the next session, beginning in January, would be one of the busiest and most productive. G. 0. P. leaders, it was explained, wanted to chalk up a good legislative record to show the voters next November. Here is the Merry-Go-Round fore cast on what Congress will do ahout major legislation: PRICE CONTROLS—No action. FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION —This legislation, providing for an in crease in teachers’ pay and other pur poses, will be enacted by congress after a hot battle. MARSHALL PLAN—Despite heated opposition, congress finally will ap prove expenditure of $5,300,000,000. RENT CONTROLS—The present in adequate system of rent control will be extended for another year. MILITARY TRAINING—No action. HOUSING—Despite the continu ing shortage of adequate low-cost housing, the Taft-EUender-Wagner housing bill will be kept in a deep freeze by congressional leaders. So will national health insurance leg islation to provide low-cost medi cal care for the general public. TAXES—The Republican 6,800 mil lion dollar tax-reduction bill, which has passed the House, will be reduced to 4 billion dollars in the Senate. Despite Senate changes President Truman will veto the tax bill and unless Republican leaders write an excess-profits tax into the measure to make it more attractive to Democrats and G. O. P. liberals, Senate leaders will not be able to mus ter the two-thirds majority Iieeded to override the President’s veto. VSl Baukhage W a s h i n g t o n D i 9 e S u W h y Spurn th e Poor Fish? They C an't B e B eat to Eat By BAVKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WASHINGTON.—Today one of the politicians’ biggest wor ries is the housewife and HER worries, the biggest of which is meeting her budget and the increased appetites which we worked up during the war. We were able to satisfy them then .because we had our pockets full of money. Our pockets aren’t so full now, but our stomachs' are. We’ve been edu cated up to eating a lot more m eat, particularly. But a large part of the country has not been educated up to eating fish. Fish is good to eat. It is also good to catch, and before < ■ I get into its nutritive value (since I have you where you can’t get away), I’m going to tell you about m y recent fishing adventure (whidh inspired this col-, umn) and about some of the fish that didn’t get away from me. W hat did I catch? W ell- F irst class bass, good stout trout, (some call them weakfish, b u t they aren’t meek- flsh), sheephead, pigfish, porkfish,— look! snook, — snappers and porgy, Mexican bull-fish (not a tough pull- fish), whitefish, blue fish, jew-fish, other tried and true fish, harkl a nasty little shark! H ere’s an old trouper, of course it’s a grouper. Just a little urgin’, then I’ll claim a sturgeon, never caught a whale- fish, but what about a sail fish? I could go on indefinitely, sitting back here in the city dreaming, with scales over m y eyes, where about all the people know of piscatorial m at ters is confined to the use of a mickey-fin. I recently had 48 hours on the bounding m ain and in the “cuts” as they call the peaceful, mangrove- bordered crane and pelican-peopled indentations of Florida’s Indian riv er. There, the waters are almost “stiff with fish” as an Irish friend once said to m e of his home river, and I am disposed to talk about the ioys of angling. It was suggested to m e by my editorial assistant that I ap proach the subject from the political angle. However, as a hook-and-line, and sometimes a rod-and-reel am ateur, I might say that we deal in lines and also curves (when you consider that piece of lacquered bamboo from Burma when a big one takes it .and goes) but angles are not in the vocabulary of an glers. I rem em ber an ancient motto im printed upon a circular pad fre quently placed beneath a beverage glass to preserve the table’s patina, which said: "Follow the straight line of duty; if you do, the curved line of beauty will ever follow you.” There is nothing more beautiful than that arc of rod and line with the exploding flash of white water at its term inus where a vibrant cap tive shakes the hook. There is no sound m ore pregnant with hope and enthusiasm than the scream of the reel when it pays out to m atch its power against a game and finny fighter. Now, having gotten that rhapsody out of my system, what about the practical side? This is still Lent. And a lot of people eat more fish during this season than they would otherwise. So fish prices have gone up a little. But not too far, and they are down as compared to last year. For these trout I was talking about, the speckled variety (not the weakfish which officially are gray yr* W Baked fish creole. You don’t have to go to New Orleans for this if you have the recipe. trout) we got 25 cents a pound down in Florida. Speckled trout is selling at this writing for 40 cents in the New York m arket, and bluefish (large) at 40 to 45 cents per pound (that’s wholesale of course). A lot of sea bass, and trout, and porgies have been coming in from Norfolk lately. And please let m e digress one mo m ent to tell you about Potomac striped bass. In M aryland, you have to throw them back if they are over 18 pounds, and in Vir ginia waters, if they are over 25 pounds. And (this is for fisher men) we have a record of a 42- pound bass caught in our north ern waters. Also (Bill Turner take notice) they’ve started a new stunt off Mon- tauk Point, New York, where they run out just beyond the breakers in fast little boats, and catch these big ones. A lot are caught up around Cape Cod in the fall. . . . Just one more diversion for the fishermen be fore I continue on the m ore impor tant m atter of how to fish for a low er cost of living, which is w hat I am really supposed to be talking about. E ver do surf fishing for blues? G reat stuff. You stand out there on the shore, with the waves breaking around you, and cast. The last tim e I tried it, I w ent right down into the undertow. Well, you use a pretty stout rod for that ordinarily, but a gentleman who has a story in the forthcoming issue of Field and Stream is going to tell a regular Ripley. He was surf-fishing here at Ocean City, Md., and neither he nor the rest of the group w as get ting much. So he shifted to a light casting rod and line, and pulled them in three to one. Well, back to m y filets—we ought to eat more fish. The departm ent of agriculture and the fish and wild life service of the departm ent of the interior are trying to do some thing about it. As you know, there is a federally-subsidized school- lunch program which provides a fund for food for school children. The departm ents are sending - folks out to show th e. school cooks how to prepare fish, and they are doing a very sensible thing; They are trying to get the schools to teach the pupils some thing about the fish they are eat ing—their life, habits and gen eral characteristics. You know, out in the Middlewest where I was brought up nobody knew much about fish. When they bought fish, they just bought fish. They didn’t know the difference between A broiled filet,' spicy sauce, Something different. a pompano and a jellyfish. Along the G reat Lakes where I lived later, we knew more. Whitefish were good. So are whitings, an ocean fish, no relation. Another thing that the departm ent of agriculture is trying to do through its home economics branch is to teach people how to cook fish. Most people think all fish ought to be fried. They don’t know how good a sauteed or baked fish is. The French can cook fish with sauce so that it is a delicacy. The fish and wildlife peo ple are doing a sim ilar job. M eat is going up. We have a lot of commercial fishermen whose living depends on how well you like fish, and how well the fish bite or get netted. You can benefit and so can they, if you learn .to appreciate this kind of healthy, nourishing, and if properly prepared, delicious food. I’ll be glad to help you: National Fisheries institute, an association which is interested in all phases of the fishing industry — its m em bers include everybody from the fisher m an to the dealer has a pam phlet entitled “Fish and Shellfish Cook ery,” which I’ll be glad to send you if you’ll write me, care of this-news- paper. .* • » Although valentine'sales this year hit a record high, the m arriage rate which usually follows the rate of purchase of hearts-and-flowers m is sives has fallen off, say greeting card publishers.

Betarding Potato Sprouts A problem commonly encountered by farmers and homemakers' is that potatoes sprout and strive] when stored in warm temperatures. Another problem is that when stored at temperatures below 40 degrees potatoes will' become sweet, and warming them for a week or two at temperatures of 70 to 75 degrees will diminish this sweetness. The chemical with a long involved name, methyl ester of alphanaphthalene acetic acid, is the most effective substance for retarding potato sprouts. FulIorum clean N. H.

Pack of Seed Nets Million Dollar Crop P la n t Im m ig ra n t H a s T y p ic a l S u c c e s s S to ry Gne package of seed sent home by a m issionary less than 30 years ago has developed into a crop now valued a t m ore than 200 million dollars a year. That is the success story of a plant im m igrant — K orean lespe deza. Only three decades ago Dr. Balph M ills, a m edical missionary, sent a package of lespedeza seed from Korea to -the U. S. departm ent of agriculture. D epartm ent specialists planted the seed a t the experimental farm across the Potom ac river from W ashington. In a few years there w as enough seed to plant lespedeza a t several state experim ent stations. The im ported crop fitted well on the poor, slightly acid soils unfit for such crops as alfalfa and soon was being grown widely in the E ast Cen tral states as a seed and pasture crop. Now its use is becoming m ore widespread, particularly in areas of low fertility land. The TJ. S. crop of Korean lespe deza, developed directly from the single package, now is valued at KiOre than 200 million dollars a year. VHlue of the seed crop amounts to 20 million dollars. The hay crop m akes up another 100 million dollars qf value. Although value of the pas ture crop is difficult to estim ate, spe cialists-contend that it amounts to a t least 100 million dollars. These figures do not take into account the profitable use of millions of acres of low fertility land m ade possible by introduction of the new legume crop. What is the m ost destructive ani m al in the world? No—it’s not a puppy or a sm all boy! •The common Norway or brown rat has absolutely no competition when it comes to the ability to destroy. Annually, rats alone destroy about 4 per cent of the total grain and cereal crop in the United States, fig ures compiled by extension service entomologists indicate. As if its de structive abilities were not enough, the rat is host to carriers or is it self a carrier of bubonic plague, typhus and other diseases which are deadly to m an. Few farm s are entirely free of rats, although ra t populations can be reduced quickly. Cleaning up the prem ises, ra t proofing, cutting off food supply, poisoning and trapping are m ajor points in an effective rat control program . But, once the con trol m easures begin to show results, there can be no relaxing. R at con trol is a perm anent, year-around program . A few days of poisoning will have only a tem porary effect on the rat population. Modem Duty Bmldings Will Boost Efficiency.

Here is a lesson for every teacher and preacher and parent today. And in this sam e 33rd chapter, Ezekiel goes on to declare God’s attitude toward all sinners. “Say unto them , As I live, saith the Lord God, I, have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; -but that the wicked _ turn from his way and live —turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die?" A WATCHMAN UNTO EXILES “ CO N of m an, I have m ade thee a w atchm an unto the house of Israel,” Ezekiel 3:17. This was the explicit .commission of God to Ezekiel. And grandly did Ezekiel accept and execute to the lim it of his ability that commission. The Je ^ s were far from their be loved home. They were driven by hard m asters. They could not sing the song of the Lord in ,a strange land. They had hanged their ,harps on the willow trees. With a sensitive soul, Ezekiel comes to them with the word of hope. H e' rem inds them of the . goodness and m ercy of Jehovah to their fathehsii Abraham , Isaac and-Jacob. He lifts their droop ing spirits with clear and. ringing •words of-promise, He pleads with them to confess their sins and claim the pardoning m ercy of a • loving God...................... He used numerous means;.of gain ing their, attention — syihbols of their form er communion with God. Patiently he traced the dealings of God with them and their fathers before them. They listened, and all who heed ed the pleas of the faithful w atch m an were saved and restored to faith in the goodness, and m ercy of God. We, too, are watchmen among exiles. Let us learn the high art of Ezekiel in our m inistry as watch man. •' --i ' The churches will fail if the les sons of Sunday are forgotten on Monday, and are laid aside for spe cial observance on only one day of the week. — Wayne Morse, U.

America’s farmers and other food producers had come through to ease tragic conditions in many lands,” Hoban cited the following estimates on the nation’s 1947 exports of foodstuffs: 392 million bushels of wheat, five times the amount exported in 1939; 88 million bushels of com, com pared to 32 million in 1939, and 328 million pounds of meat products, against 193 million in 1939. The farm market offered “the biggest sales opportunity” for in dustry in 1947, Hoban said, adding that “there is no question that this market is going forward at as great or even greater pace in 1948.” Hoban said that all tractors now made are rubber-tired, and that changing all a farm’s rolling stock from steel to rubber tires produced an average saving of 24 working days and 675 gallons of gasoline per year, for each 150 acres worked.

"Who are they searching for this time?” I asked as I pushed closer to the rail. “Young Doc Warren,” several an swered at once. I had never seen young William Warren, but I knew about him—the Irhole town knew about him. He had joined the army with our National Guard. The boys were still singing his praises. Heshad been through a lot at the front and had won the'complete devotion of his men by his untiring efforts and unceasing good humor. He had returned to his father’s clinic al most immediately upon his Tetum to the States. I had heard little about him In recent months. “What about the woman they were dragging for yesterday?” I asked. “They found her earlier this morn ing. Plain case of suicide. But when the boats were coming in to the dock over there by those willows they found a man’s hat. It had his name inside— William-Warren.” “And about the same time,” another put in, “the police find this car on the bridge, out of gas and nobody around.” He pointed'to a green sedan that sev eral,, officers were shaking down. “They find a driver's license on the steering post in the name of .young Doc War ren. They figure something has hap pened-to the Doc, so while they radio headquarters for a check the boats lower the grab hooks and start work ing again.” I edged my way over near a couple patrolmen who had arrived from-head quarters. Calls to Doc Warren’s home, his office, the two hospitals, all brought the same response: he wasn’t there. His wife had told the officers that he had left home early, before she and the children were up. He had come home late after an emergency opera tion, seemed unable to relax, and had spent a restless night. She had awak ened while he was dressing and asked if he had a call. He explained that he was just going out to clear the cob webs from his mind. He had kissed her goodby. She had thought no more about it until the police called. I moved back to the rail to watch the boats as they trolled slowly toward us, the grappling hooks searching the lake bottom in the lane between them. The water was plenty choppy, a cold raw wind had been blowing out of the north since yesterday. Nothing about the scene seemed urgent. The boats moved slowly. The crowd just stood and watched, coat collars turned up against the wind. A young boy had crawled under my arms to press himself against the rail, excited by his first-hand experience with tragedy. “They got somethin’,” he shouted, and the crowd came to life. All turned toward the men in the boats, watching with a strange fascination, waiting to see what was being dragged out. Someone said, “That’s him!” when the men pulled the thing loose from the hooks. “They put him in a gunny sack!” We. saw the men in one of the boats peering into the sack. Then one of them, looking up at us, pulled out and held up a decoy some hunter had lost. There was a murmur of relief, of re strained amusement, and the crowd settled back again into their coat col lars. Someone commented, “This jumping off bridges is getting to be an epi demic.” Another one questioned, “How do you know he jumped? Maybe he was pushed.” Another said, seriously, “That’s right. My boy knew him. He wasn’t a cow ard. If he’£ in that lake he was mur dered.” A siren wailed and the crowd fell bade to make room for another patrol car which drew up alongside the green sedan. “There’s Old Doc Warren,” someone In the crowd said as an elder ly man stepped out of the car. I worked my way toward the cars. I could hear Old Doc Warren talking. “Yes, this is his car. He has been working too hard, but what doctor hasn’t these days? So far as I know he has no enemies, but I don’t believe my son would commit suicide!” There was another stir of excite ment. I threaded my way back to the rail to see if this time they had really found him. The boys in the boats were having difficulty hauling in the lines, but wheg the catch broke water we could see it was just a log. As they dropped it back the shrill whistle of the interurban reminded me that I was already late for work. I reluctantly pulled myself away and headed toward town. Down the road I stopped at Phil’s Phil-Er-Up. I like PhU and I could save the city gasoline tax. “Where’s the boss?” I asked the young attendant who dashed out to wait on me, “up at the lake watching them drag for the body?” "Gosh, no!” exclaimed the boy as he fumbled with the hose. “Has he been having a time! His wife had a baby this morning, a week before she was expecting it!" Just then Phil came out of the Uving quarters in the back with another young man. Phil was beaming Uke the traditional proud father as he pulled his hat down firmly. The other man didn’t seem excited. I heard Phil say, “Hey, Doc, you for got your hat.” He turned to go back. But the other man laughed. “You were too excited to notice that I didn’t have one when I walked in here for gas. The wind blew it off as I stepped out of my car oh the bridge.” He had kissed her goodby. She had thought no more about it until the poUce called. Pittsburgh Council to Abandon Stephen Foster Memorial Home Once again Pittsburgh is embroiled in a controversy over Stephen C. Fos ter, one of its most famous sons, as the result of a decision by the city council to abandon the Stephen Foster Memorial 'home. Bather than spend $10,000 to rehabi- Utate the memorial home, the city is giving up the 14-room mansion which some biographers term the “authentic site” of Foster’s birth. The once state ly place has become dilapidated, with plaster falling, porches collapsing and romping school children peppering its windows with stones. Three direct descendants of the noted composer may be left homeless as a result of the abandonment. The three, a grandson, granddaughter and great-granddaughter, have lived in the building for more than 30 years. The granddaughter, Mrs. Jessie Bose, 72, has been acting as caretaker for the city. In its. decision not to repair the building, the city council declared that the rambling brick homestead has MOMENT is but one quick broth An hour, one small goiaen whiles A day, a space from dawn to The dodfs hands move about the dial. And it is night God only give* The promised strength from day to day. Within this small enclosure he Has placed us, and he bids “ceased to have any value as a me morial.” The council therefore is deed ing the property back to heirs of James H. Park, wealthy steelmaster who bought it In 1914 and gave it to the city with the stipulation that it be maintained as a museum containing a collection of Stephen Foster memen toes. Park, an admirer of Foster’s music, made the purchase because he “thought it a shame” there was no memorial to the great writer of “My Old Kentucky Home” ^and other ageless American songs. Music-Iovers of the city later raised $500,000 to build an elaborate 'Gothic memorial to Foster on University of Pittsburgh campus. This memorial contains the largest collection of Fos ter’s manuscripts and other belong ings. It now is the mecca for thou sands of visitors who formerly called at the Stephen Foster Memorial home. Another controversy over Foster raged in 1934 when Henry Ford bought what was claimed to be Foster’s “real birthplace” and moved it to his out door museum in Dearborn, Mich. Wil liam McNair, Pittsburgh’s mayor- at the time, claimed the millionaire car manufacturer bought “the wrong house.” Mrs. Evelyn Foster Morne- weck of Detroit, a niece and biographer of Foster, said the composer was bom in a vqhite frame cottage which was tom down and replaced in 1865 with the brick mansion which became the Stephen Foster Memorial home. Fos ter died in 1863.

One of every three children who die is killed in a traffic accident, according to the 1947 edition of Accident Facts, a publication devoted to safety promo tion. One-third of the accidental deaths of children 5 to 14 years of age are. the result of motor vehicle accidents. - Motorists are cautioned to observe the following rules: 1. Always “Watch Out for Kids.” 2. Keep clear of bicycles—right or wrong—as they are defenseless against a motor vehicle. 3. Be on the lookout for children darting out between parked cars. Re duce speed and increase watchfulness in school zones and residential areas. 4. Always remember that children have not reached the age of discretion and judgment—drivers roust think for them. 6. Children play in driveways mid around parked vehicles—always make sure children are out of the way before starting a parked vehicle, 6. Driver—it might be your child!

What m akes American living the best Uving known? What m akes the American standard of living so much higher than that of other na tions? Our country is in no favored position as to raw m aterials, geog raphy, population, cUmate, or the other factors usuaUy thought of as m aking up a nation’s economy. In fact, we have less of the world’s territory, fewer people, and not as m any natural resources as some other nations. AU these things you wfll find in the almanacs. Looking further and with a little more discrimination, you will find that America does much, much, more with what it does have. What I mean is that America produces. The figures will teU you that our “industrial and agricultural output” is great. This does not m ean that Americans work any harder than anybody else. Actu ally, they do not have to work as hard as workers in other countries. Method That Works Then where’s the difference? W hat’s the secret? It is the system that m akes the difference. Our high standard of living, our good living, is the pay-off of this system. This is where we reap the benefits of the right system, a system that reaUy works. Once in awhile, maybe, we have a shortage or an inequity. Maybe we lack production here, or there. But right away, enterprise goes to work to m eet that demand. With no interference from a dic tator-state, the system takes care of little dislocations and progress keeps going. Our standard of good living continues to rise. Only in this way m ay aU the people reap the rew ards of their inventiveness and their enterprise. You see, the fellow who invents a light bulb or a self starter is not the only one to profit. The feUow who uses them profits most. Trial and E rror This system would bog down un der heavy-handed stateism . Let the government step in to manage, and you have a dozen ways the system can go haywire. Demand no longer becomes the basis for production. Profit is penalized, and nobody gets the benefits of enterprise. People lose initiative and inventiveness, and everybody suffers. This has been America’s experience, wher ever she has tried “stateism .” Notwithstanding large funds spent by the Russian state on putting elec tric vacuum cleaners and refrigera tors into production, it is reported from Russia that these things are not being produced anywhere. One factory made 300 manually-oper ated washing machines. They sold quickly, but no m ore were made despite heavy demand. The report said a good potato-peeling machine exists and demand is heavy, but it is not in production. • These are nothing more than the fruits of the m ism anagement that takes place when government starts tinkering with a nation’s economies. The British press reports that one of its state-owned airlines will lose seven million pounds in its first year of government operation; another has already reported a loss of thirty pounds for every passenger it car ried. These are some of the fruits of socialism. If we want to keep our high living standards, we m ust hold fast to the American way. Dog Tags for ChiIdreD If children wore identification discs sim ilar to those of the arm ed forces there would be fewer lost children, and better and quicker emergency treatm ent would be pos sible in many cases of accidental injury. Dr. Edward Press of the U. S. children’s bureau recommend ed to American Medical association. Information on the tag as to the child’s blood type, bleeding tend ency, serum sensitivity and whether immunized against lockjaw, would facilitate emergency treatm ent and m ight well save the child’s life in case of accident Sets Cp Crime Lau Wisconsin has set up a state crim e laboratory with $190,000 ap propriated by the legislature, the Council of State Governments re ports. The laboratory will serve as a clearing house for technical and scientific aid to police officers throughout the state, operating probably from University' of Wis consin. Officials also hope to set up roving laboratories on wheels to give on-the-spot aid to crim e in vestigators.

I can truly write about the m erits of Savings Bonds in the family relationship, because bonds are really very per sonal in their nature.

The U. S. departm ent of agriculture says the average losses from m ange probably amount to S2 a head. This figure covers the loss from stunted growth, delay in fat tening, occasional deaths and dock age when mangy hogs are m ar keted. The effective weapon against m ange is benzene hexachloride, fre quently referred to as “666.” In Nebraska tests this newly-discov ered insecticide was so effective il eradicated mange with one treat m ent. Not only did it eradicate m ange — it also got rid of lice. This m akes the old mange treat m ents obsolete. In the Nebraska tests, crude ben zene hexachloride (a wettable pow der) was mixed with w ater (10 pounds powder in 100 gallons) and sprayed on the bogs. One objectionable feature of the crude benzene hexachloride is its terrific odor. This odor is not present to any marked degree in commer cial hog oils prepared by use of a solvent which takes the active in gredient (the gam m a isomer) out of the crude benezene hexachloride and leaves behind the ineffective in gredients—the ones that have the disagreeable odor.

F irst treatm ent for cattle grubs should be made early in winter, as soon as the tell-tale bumps appear on the backs of animals. Several treatm ents a month apart will be necessary. Use a cattle grub dust containing Iti per cent rotenone. The current shortage of feed m akes it im portant to do continuous culling in the laying house.

Your Russian factory worker, under the new Russian prices, has to spend the income of one hour and 18 minutes of labor for a quart of milk, which the average American factory worker gets in exchange for the price of 10 minutes of his labor. A pound of butter costs the Russian 10 hours and 42 m inutes; the Ameri can only 48(4 minutes (not counting the tim e spent griping about the current price). Spending Labor It costs the Russian factory worker about four weeks' work to got himself a part-wool suit. If he wants a worsted suit he’ll have to s-end his entire pay for m ore than three months. His American coun terpart can work out a good quality worsted suit in little m ore than three days. More than two weeks’ pay would have to go into a pair of leather shoes for the Russian, yet the American can work them out in less than a day. These comparisons are based upon estim ates of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and on Russian prices as reported by the Associated Press in December. The com pari sons are as accurate as the iron curtain will perm it. They, show that prices in a communistic economy are much higher than our own, in term s of work. And those are the term s that count. Eating the Pndding The real pay-off of any economic system comes in the standard of living that it provides for its people. Without question, the American workingman enjoys the highest liv ing standards of any nation. He’s rightly proud of this, although he m ay not know the United States has 54 per cent of the world’s tele phones, 84 per cent of the automo biles, nearly 50 per cent of the radios, and 92 per cent of all the bathtubs on this planet! A “capitalistic” country, contrary to Russian description, is a nation where men are perm itted to have a high standard of living. This is ex emplified by America. Here, men are free to work, to invent, to initi ate, to experiment, to engage in the enterprise of their dream s. Unham pered by restrictions that in other nations tend to keep down any in dividual enterprise, an American worker can start his own factory or set up his own business. We take all these things for granted, along with our vastly supe rior standard of living. W hat we m ust assuredly know is this: these things we have, these privileges of ours, exist because of basic prin ciples that belong to the American Way.

Simile Instrcetiens BsscS en 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 toot Nicotes 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 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 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.
